Chapter 749 - 372: Only Recognizes You! (Part 2)

"That's right, Director Tian..."

"Xiaoqu, you join us too." Lu Cheng extended the invitation to circulating nurse Qu Qingqing.

Qu Qingqing said, "Thanks, Director Lu. I'm always game for free food and drink..."

"But Director Lu, you'll definitely be busy today, entertaining all those big bosses..."

After saying this, Tian Zhihai and Qu Qingqing returned to their work.

Lu Cheng didn't rush back but instead sat down with Mu Nanshu, addressing both sets of parents again, "Dad, Mom, I already explained this to you before!"

"Xiao Shu's surgery isn't major, so there's no need to do everything hands-on. She needs functional exercises."

"Without those unexpected situations I mentioned before, everything went smoothly, just as anticipated.

"So, when it comes to things like picking up chopsticks or a spoon, let her do it herself."

"It's not about being unsympathetic; she needs to use these tasks for functional exercises."

"Xiao Shu can also go out, take walks..."

"The ice pack doesn't need to stay on for a long time. It's fine to take it off briefly."

"Also, her diet should be high in protein and light. Help me keep an eye on her, make sure she doesn't order takeout or eat spicy food."

Mu Nanshu was initially touched.

Hearing this, she began to tease him, "What if I'm not full?"

"If you're not full, eat smaller, frequent meals!~"

Lu Cheng continued, "Secondly, very, very, very important."

"If either of you dads have smoked, don't come see Xiao Shu."

"I'm not joking here."

"Other situations can be negotiated, but second-hand smoke could affect her nerve recovery."

Mu Leng asked, "Are e-cigarettes okay?"

Lu Cheng replied, "I don't know, I'm not familiar with that, but smoking is a no-go."

"Especially in the first week."

Yan Sangyue started to curse, "Can't you survive without those few smokes?"

"If you love to smoke, do it outside, don't pretend to be righteous here."

Lu Cheng interrupted Yan Sangyue, "Mom, let me finish, and there's a third point, equally important."

"If anyone from the rehabilitation department comes for Xiao Shu, one person is fine, two people are fine, but more than two should not be allowed in."

"If the department wants you to do electrical stimulation or anything like that, refuse them all."

"If there's anything you don't understand, call me anytime!~"

"You should remember this too." Lu Cheng reminded Mu Nanshu.

Mu Nanshu smirked, "Got it, you've mentioned this so many times, I'm not a child."

What Lu Cheng said was generally fine, but banning takeout, and no chili or peppercorns made her uncomfortable.

"That proves you're usually as childish as a kid."

"Lu Cheng, you should rest too; you're tired." Yan Sangyue urged hurriedly.

"Mom, I must go back on duty, can't take a break."

"Alright then, tomorrow after work, I'll come keep Xiao Shu company. You all rest." Lu Cheng waved goodbye.

There's a bunch of people waiting for him in the operating room, so he couldn't stay in the ward for too long.

Staying for a while is work, staying longer is slacking off.

Mu Nanshu said, "After your shift ends tomorrow, go home, get some sleep, and then come over."

"Why can't I sleep here?" Lu Cheng was almost out the door.

"You need to stretch your legs...you shouldn't lie around too much..."

"You're just an ordinary person who had a minor surgery."

Mu Nanshu smiled and watched Lu Cheng leave.

After Lu Cheng left, Mu Leng and the others eagerly asked, "Does it hurt, Xiao Shu?"

Mu Nanshu shook her head, "No pain, just numb, no feeling, but my hand can still move..."

"The glove hasn't even been cut yet."

"This kid is too careless." Tian Hui realized Lu Cheng left early and hurried to chase after him.

Mu Nanshu quickly said, "Mom, no need, Lu Cheng taught me how to cut it myself. It's part of my rehab task."

...

Back in the operating room, when Lu Cheng returned, many people gathered around and started bombarding him with questions!

Lu Cheng led them out and slowly answered each question one by one.

So much so that Lu Cheng didn't even notice that Professor Liao Fan from Xiangya Hospital wasn't in the group.

Almost out of the OR doors, Lu Cheng stated, "I won't be doing a Q&A for today's surgery. I've mentioned this before."

"Professor Xie, Professor Du, I'll leave you to entertain the other professors."

"I still have to be on duty."

Xie Xiao, upon hearing this, said, "Director Lu deliberately scheduled the surgery during his duty to avoid trouble."

"But as it turns out, the professors happily joined us."

"Actually, I can understand why this is a private surgery prepared by Director Lu. We interrupted unexpectedly."

"However, Director Lu still prepared teaching videos for us."

"Included are local anesthesia teaching videos and functional reconstruction surgical videos using animal models."

"Here, I'd like to remind everyone."

"In Director Lu's lab, there are animal models of his spouse's condition, so if anyone still has free time after eating, you can visit the animal laboratory for some hands-on experience."

"If you can't make it, you could temporarily head back."

"Recently..."

"There are adult models? Where are they? Are they similar to this recent surgery? Seriously?" someone interrupted Xie Xiao eagerly.

"There are adult models in the animal lab."

"Of course, it's almost a one-to-one recreation; Director Lu has prepared for months for this surgery."

"As for being real, would I joke about such matters?"

Xie Xiao further mentioned, "Originally, Director Lu personally performed surgery on his spouse, which is an exception in the surgical world, so not doing a Q&A is understandable."

"Still, Director Lu, valuing guests from afar, had the team work extra hours to create sixty-seven adult animal models beforehand."

"The quantity is limited... just cover the cost..."

"I'll take ten."

"I'll take twenty..." someone boldly claimed.

Seeing everyone intrigued and Lu Cheng successfully slipping away, Xie Xiao said, "If you demand like that, I'll take them all."

"I won't lead you there; you can find the place yourselves, okay?"

"Asking for twenty, should others stop living?"

"Each gets a maximum of two; the remainder depends on individual speed..."

"Let's have dinner first."

"I won't take a share." Xie Xiao declared early on.

Vice Professor Xie Ziyuan also said, "I won't take any share either..."

Several others like Zhou Yuansheng chimed in.

This batch of animal models was meant for today's guests; they have longtime practice opportunities, so they kept quiet.

Of course, at this time, those speaking out are asserting their domain.

This project now has a lead and participants; don't overthink it.

Learn well, use it as a skill to showcase back home, but don't try tying your name to these technologies.

Hearing some staking their claim, many were annoyed but helpless.

After all, no one had the foresight.

Xie Xiao and Du Doyao led the group to leave.

No matter what, as guests from afar, they must eat.

...

Upon returning to the doctor's lounge, Lu Cheng was met with Tong Yuan'an's resentful gaze.

Dai Linfang nonchalantly asked, "Finished?"

"If you can't speak properly, no one will mistake you for a mute..." Lu Cheng couldn't be bothered with Dai Linfang's snarky tone.

Dai Linfang pointed to Xiang Dahong, "Why don't you have a good chat with him?"

Egged on, Lu Cheng nodded, "Chat, sure, you think I don't dare?"

"I'm not guilty."

Dai Linfang still held Lu Cheng back, "There's a patient looking for you for a follow-up, refusing my and Professor Tong's consultation."

"Only you personally can handle it."

"It's our first limb preservation surgery, coming for functional reconstruction skill, name's Liu Lintao."

Lu Cheng looked at Dai Linfang, "Didn't I ask you to handle his admission?"

Dai Linfang replied in an odd tone, "He refused to agree when asked to be admitted, what could I do?"

"He recognizes only you."

"Plus, you're not that handsome?"

Lu Cheng chuckled, in high spirits, jokingly said, "I'm still better looking than you..."
