Chapter 751 - 373: You Cursed at the Professor?! (2)

Surgery—Hand Surgery.

"Professor Liao Fan."

The photo of Professor Liao Fan instantly pierced into view.

After Liu Lintao's leg was saved, the two of them discussed for many days, becoming exceedingly familiar with the professors capable of performing Functional Reconstruction Surgery at Xiangya Hospital and Xiangya Second Hospital.

Liu Xu, puzzled, pulled her phone away and recalled the image of Professor Liao Fan apologizing to Lu Cheng, her eyes gradually becoming inexplicable.

Then, Liu Xu quickly pushed the suitcase and entered the ward.

Liu Lintao was chatting with the patient in the neighboring bed, mainly about the patient inquiring about Liu Lintao's current situation, closely observing his right calf.

Liu Xu was not supposed to disturb Liu Lintao, but she found it difficult to digest the scene she had just witnessed.

"Honey, guess who I just saw?" Liu Xu's tone was slightly fearful.

"Who? Our old classmate?" Liu Lintao smiled apologetically at the neighboring patient.

The neighboring bed housed a man in his fifties, he glanced at Liu Xu: "Xiao Liu, is this your wife?"

"Yes, Brother Chen, this is my wife. Her name is Liu Xu."

"Chen Hanjin, I just recognized him as my older brother, and he is also considered a mentor." Liu Lintao was genuinely happy, he didn't expect to encounter a colleague today.

Chen Hanjin's business was even larger than his own.

Liu Xu didn't have the mindset for this, she politely greeted Brother Chen and then said, "I saw Professor Liao Fan from Xiangya Hospital."

Chen Hanjin was taken aback: "Are you sure it was Professor Liao Fan from Xiangya Hospital?"

"Here?"

"Absolutely, I even verified it with the photo in the public account's registration system! It's definitely Professor Liao Fan from Xiangya Hospital."

"However."

Feeling somewhat hesitant, Liu Xu lowered her voice and whispered in Liu Lintao's ear, "I saw Professor Liao Fan apologizing to Director Lu."

"An actual apology!"

"This definitely wasn't staged."

Liu Lintao was instantly bewildered: "Are you sure you didn't misidentify the person? Professor Liao Fan apologizing to Director Lu?"

"Are you kidding me?"

Professor Liao Fan from Xiangya Hospital's Hand Surgery Department is basically unreachable as soon as appointments are released.

Liu Lintao trusts Dr. Lu Cheng at Xiangzhou People's Hospital more, making a lateral comparison to other hospital doctors.

If Professor Liao Fan came to Xiangzhou People's Hospital, Liu Lintao feels he would still prefer such a top-tier professor.

"Why would I joke?"

"Really, I just saw it." Liu Xu had a strong desire to share and gossip, she was even quite satisfied with Liu Lintao's reaction now.

After all, even if Liu Lintao found the situation unbelievable!

Then her recent mood would feel naturally justified.

...

Outside the Emergency Department's office area, the sun was blazing hot, but not overly intense.

Lu Cheng's expression was not particularly good, but it didn't look like he bore a grudge against Liao Fan.

After Professor Liao Fan explained a bit, Lu Cheng spoke, "Professor Liao, I'm not someone who gets fixated on trivial matters."

"Let's focus on the results, since my wife doesn't have any special circumstances."

"Later, I'll make a call to our hospital."

"No need to worry."

"By rights, you've come from afar, and guests from afar deserve hospitality."

"But from my perspective, I still feel your behavior in the operating room was excessively outrageous."

"I clearly stated this surgery was not open to the public, but you insisted on barging in and during the procedure?"

Lu Cheng sighed, "Professor Liao, I'm sorry, I'm just straightforward and don't like beating around the bush."

"Because for this surgery, at this moment, I don't want to deal with any sentimentalities, I just want to quietly do my best to ensure my wife's surgery goes well."

Liao Fan nodded, "Director Lu, I understand!"

"I can understand you, it's just that I got too excited, which is why I couldn't control my hands."

Liao Fan kept rubbing his hands, "They all went to the animal lab, but I didn't go because I chose to forgo the model, just to apologize to Director Lu."

"Thinking from a different position, I even think I might throw a punch."

"But it was, after all, in a moment of urgency."

"The phrase 'thinking from a different position' is easy to say, but consistently achieving self-awareness is particularly difficult."

"Director Lu, regardless, I must sincerely apologize to you."

"As for other matters, even if they really occurred, it's my own fault."

"After all, by the book, you and our department are connected by fate, the more it is so, the more stable I should be."

"It's wrong of me not to control my emotions."

Lu Cheng indeed has quite good relations with many people from Xiangya Hospital. In last year's minimally invasive surgery skill competition, many associate professors and attending physicians from Xiangya Hospital achieved impressive rankings, which can be said to be nurtured by Lu Cheng.

If Lu Cheng chose to cherish his own broom, or rather, chose to bring it to the people at Union Hospital, then this acclaim would not land under Xiangya Hospital's name.

At least not so prominently!

"Professor Liao, what's done is done, let's leave it at that."

"You haven't eaten yet, have you? You should go manage your affairs, if you want, I can get you another boxed lunch."

Lu Cheng adhered to the principle of hospitality for guests from afar, not probing further.

"No need to trouble you, I still need to go to the animal lab."

"Otherwise, those guys won't leave me any good fruits!"

"Thanks for your generosity, Director Lu." Liao Fan nodded and left.

Lu Cheng waved his hand at Liao Fan and eventually shook his head, not wanting to make a fuss over trivial matters.

After all, the result was that Mu Nanshu didn't encounter any accidents, so analyzing the process based on the outcome meant there was no need to endlessly fret.

Anyone in surgery attire today is actually someone Lu Cheng recognized.

Lu Cheng allowed them to step up because he felt they had empathetic ties with him.

In such circumstances, they couldn't help but be amused.

The temptation might have been too great, not entirely their fault.

Just like now, if someone completes a miraculous feat before him, Lu Cheng wouldn't resist poking a finger.

After all, relative ignorance is eternal to humans.

Seeking knowledge to diminish ignorance is also eternal for humanity.

...

When Lu Cheng returned to the department, Huang Hui was already waiting for him, holding a lunch box.

Although Dai Linfang didn't attend Lu Cheng's wedding, she knew Lu Cheng's parents well, and at this moment, she was chatting with Huang Hui.

"Auntie, Director Lu and Professor Liao finished their conversation."

"Brother Lu, Auntie is here to bring you warmth." Dai Linfang exclaimed with envy.

Lu Cheng wasn't spoiled; today his mom came to deliver food mainly because Mu Nanshu was hospitalized.

"Mom, why did you come over?"

"I've already eaten, when I'm on duty, we eat together in the department." Lu Cheng approached, motioning for Huang Hui not to rise.

Huang Hui and the Nan Family came to Ji City at the beginning of June.

Mu Nanshu was having surgery, although a minor one, but since the Nan Family and Huang Hui both had flexible jobs, they could take a few days off and came to Ji City upon receiving the news.

"It's what Xiao Shu left for you."

"She didn't finish it, and it'd be a pity to waste it." Huang Hui said with a smile.

Lu Cheng chuckled, "I don't buy it."

"How is Nanshu now?"

Huang Hui smiled and said, "All good, she started walking around just after returning to the ward, even though the anesthesia hasn't completely worn off, she's not in pain."

"Her hand still works, and it looks as though she hasn't had surgery at all."

"She was very happy, cried several times while eating!" Huang Hui was still smiling while saying this.

Lu Cheng exhaled slowly, "No problem, it was just a small surgery, you don't need to worry."

"Even I'm not worried."

Huang Hui rolled her eyes, "Nanshu told us you scolded several professors in the operating room."

"If you weren't worried, why did you scold the professors?"

"To show off your capabilities?"
