System Came When the Doctor was Thirty

”No way!” Lu Cheng shook his head, then stood up: ”If you guys aren’t ordering, then I’ll go ahead and place the order.”

After Lu Cheng got up, Xie Yuan’an whispered: ”Your guy is quite proud, huh.”

Mu Nanshu packed Xie Yuan’an’s certificates and medals: ”It’s not pride, it’s that he shouldn’t accept this money.”

”Half and half, it must be fifty-fifty. What do you think, Xiao Mumu?”

”If I exchange them for gifts, it adds another procedure, you know my personality.”

”You should understand the value of these two things.”

”More importantly, right now, my comprehensive score and potential in our department have at least increased this much.” Xie Yuan’an raised his hand to above his head!

The most important basic skill in hand surgery is suturing, but in actual clinical practice, basic suturing is rarely used in surgery, as it’s mixed with various ’techniques’.

If there’s really no technique, only simple interrupted sutures can be used as a makeshift.

”Don’t ask me, this matter requires Lu Cheng’s consent.” Mu Nanshu wouldn’t agree to such things.

”Do you think he’ll agree?” Xie Yuan’an was somewhat embarrassed.

Mu Nanshu shook his head: ”Probably not.”

Xie Yuan’an: ”Then that’s settled.”

”This money, to me, is ill-gotten gains. If it weren’t for Lu Cheng, it wouldn’t belong to me; if Lu Cheng had participated in the competition, this money would all be Lu Cheng’s.”

Mu Nanshu: ”Telling me these rationales won’t work, huh?”

Lu Cheng returned and asked: ”Teacher Xie, would you like to have something to drink? I just checked, they have beer, yogurt, and coconut milk.”

”I’d like a bottle of coconut milk.”

”Lu Cheng, I’d like to discuss something with you.” Xie Yuan’an directly shared his thoughts.

Lu Cheng’s expression changed from serious to amused, leaning his back against the chair: ”Teacher Xie, you’re not treating me like a person.”

”Am I just someone who has money on my mind?”

Xie Yuan’an hurriedly waved his hand, shaking his head vigorously: ”No, no, that’s not what I meant.”

”They originally belonged to you, I was just holding them for you.”

Lu Cheng said: ”I didn’t participate in the competition, so they don’t belong to me. There’s no such thing as originally belonging to me.”

”When I was at the provincial level, I also received an award.”

Xie Yuan’an suddenly realized: ”Oh, right, the prize from the provincial competition should also go to you.”

Lu Cheng joked, casually pointing outside: ”Then don’t give it, just go back. We don’t have any cooperation to discuss.”

This is a bug; if money could be earned this way, Lu Cheng could train a large number of first-place winners in provincial competitions and earn a fortune in bonuses.

This changes the nature of things. Although it doesn’t affect the result of earning money, it certainly damages one’s character.

”But how about this?” Xie Yuan’an hadn’t considered the issue of bonus distribution before; she just wanted to win and increase her comprehensive score for promotions.

”Teacher Xie, there’s no but.”

”Let’s talk about tomorrow’s tasks. Since you’re interested in joining our team, you’re entitled to know the issues our team currently faces.”

”It’s like this...” Lu Cheng explained the matter concerning Zhang Xibei.

After hearing Lu Cheng’s concerns, Xie Yuan’an said: ”That’s no problem at all; I think it’s easy to solve. My dad’s lab has a lot of empty research advisor positions.”

”There’s always recruitment notices hanging up every year, but they’re basically unfilled.”

”And it’s even with official positions included.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Nanshu looked down at her instep, feeling a slight sense of inferiority at that moment.

However, Mu Nanshu didn’t doubt Xie Yuan’an’s words.

Lu Cheng retorted without thinking: ”Can these positions in your dad’s lab be freely accessed by a master’s degree holder?”

Xie Yuan’an’s expression showed slight surprise: ”No, he’s just a master’s degree holder? A master’s won’t do; a doctorate might be manageable.”

However, after saying this, Xie Yuan’an seriously reconsidered: ”Actually, it’s not absolutely impossible for a master’s. If he has many publications, it’s negotiable.”

Mu Nanshu laughed: ”Sister Xie, maybe you should stop suggesting.”

If Zhang Xibei had many publications, he wouldn’t be going back home.

Xie Yuan’an shut her mouth but continued thinking about the issue seriously.

Of course, without meeting Zhang Xibei face-to-face, it’s difficult to fully grasp such a matter.

The group chatted casually for a while, and the topic shifted from Xie Yuan’an to the ”off-stage” of the national competition.

”Lu Cheng, my dad told me that he sent out your personal information to a few people, but only a few, less than five.”

”My dad asked me to explain it to you.” Xie Yuan’an’s tone was quite formal; she finished speaking and started eating the butter.

The grilled butter and sausage from Ji City is amazing.

”Yes, I’ve indeed received quite a few calls recently, but today’s calls are much less, no problem.”

”I haven’t said you absolutely can’t disclose it; I just didn’t plan on hiding it.”

”Anyway, I have my route mapped out in mind now.” Lu Cheng replied nonchalantly.

Xie Yuan’an tossed away two sticks: ”Lu Cheng, do you really want to go to the emergency department?”

”Is there any room for negotiation?”

”My dad said that not occupying a position doesn’t mean you can’t bring people.” Xie Yuan’an’s tone was serious. It wasn’t clear whether she was relaying a message from Professor Xie Xiao or Professor Zhong Junyun.

Lu Cheng glanced at Xie Yuan’an, shook his head, and spoke with a weary tone: ”Professor Xie has recognized my potential and helped me, and I don’t want our relationship to mix with being colleagues in the same department; now it makes me a bit uneasy.”
