System Came When the Doctor was Thirty

”Xiao Dai, have you thought it through? I’m sending you to Xiangzhou purely to temper your mindset.”

”It’s not that I don’t value you.” In Han City, Professor Lan Hualuo sat in his office, feeling a bit frustrated, but he had to endure it.

Through the phone, Dai Linfang replied, ”Professor Lan, I’ve already made up my mind. Thank you for your care all this time.”

”I know you have many concerns about me, which is why you haven’t signed a contract with me and have given me many gifts. I will always remember your kindness.”

Lan Hualuo furrowed his brows tightly, ”Xiao Dai, if you have any concrete ideas, we can discuss them in detail.”

”Didn’t I tell you before? Your current state is very similar to one of my junior colleagues. Your abilities and reality can’t support your awareness.”

”Once you get past this phase, there are many important tasks waiting for you in the research group.”

Dai Linfang said, ”Thank you, Professor Lan. Perhaps you’re right, or maybe I’m just too eager, but I still want to venture out on my own.”

Lan Hualuo stated, ”Xiao Dai, I know you’re anxious. You want to prove yourself, prove that the previous project choices weren’t wrong or delayed, but due to a lack of effort.”

”These things need to be addressed step by step. Your project’s direction aligns perfectly with the topics currently under research in our group.”

”But you have to take things one step at a time. Lofty ideas require many conditions to support them.”

”You can’t be swayed by a small achievement, Lu Cheng. His perspective doesn’t match yours!”

Dai Linfang said, ”Indeed, Lu Cheng’s perspective is quite narrow, but his other capabilities are strong.”

”Professor Lan, haven’t you often said that no one is perfect? There’s no one flawlessly ideal.”

”The success of a project relies on complementarity, cooperation, and collaboration.”

”Mm, I still appreciate your efforts to keep me, Professor Lan, but I’ve made my decision. I also appreciate your guidance in showing me a clear path.”

Lan Hualuo cursed, ”I didn’t guide you! Don’t deliberately interpret it that way!”

”Are you obsessed with reading comprehension?”

”If I had the chance, I’d want you to bring him back for me.”

”Dai Linfang, don’t let immediate benefits blind you. Whether it’s you or Lu Cheng, joining my research group is the best choice.”

Dai Linfang said, ”Professor Lan, the best choice is the best choice, but isn’t it true that most people can’t choose the best and have to settle for the most suitable?”

”Settling for the second-best choice isn’t so bad sometimes.”

”My teacher is under a lot of pressure over there. I can’t ignore that.”

”Teacher Lan, I understand your concerns. My teacher’s pressure might not concern you, but it concerns me, so I have to act fast.”

”When progress can’t be made steadily, one has to take an unconventional path.”

”And as it happens, I roughly know that Lu Cheng is the same kind of person.”

Lan Hualuo vexedly said, ”Why don’t any of you young people listen to advice? Sooner or later, you’ll suffer for it!!!”

”Then let’s do it for lunch.” Dai Linfang’s attitude was clear, his tone teasing.

Lan Hualuo burst out, shouting outside, ”Li Yuankun!~ I’ll damn well kill you.”

”I’ve already told you not to mess around...”

...

After hanging up the phone, Dai Linfang sat at his desk, opened a folder on his laptop.

Inside the folder, there were three sets of photos, arranged in order.

The first set was titled ’Growth Photos,’ from childhood to adulthood, accompanied by his parents.

The second set was titled ’Mentor Enlightenment.’

The third set, labeled ’Chance Encounter,’ contained only two photos, one of Xie Yuan’an and one of Xie Xiao.

”When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; when the person leaves, the tea cools.”

”Maybe I don’t know when those who once wanted to help me or begged to help me are now waiting to step on me.”

”So, Dai Linfang, you can’t stop moving forward, nor can you remain steady.”

”The things parents didn’t tell you don’t mean they don’t exist.”

After murmuring to himself for a while, Dai Linfang opened a new document and began drafting an experimental project proposal.

Dai Linfang had grown up, so he knew the series of reactions his matters caused for his uncle-in-law.

As long as the family remained in smooth times, his little issues wouldn’t amount to much.

Looking at all those ’predecessors,’ the only thing that could break free from such chains was scientific research, the not-so-pure land within the pure land, and one must firmly plant their roots within it!

...

”Lu Cheng, Wang Hua transferred back to his original hospital. The pancreatic fistula still exists, which we can’t solve here.”

After finishing a consultation surgery down in Long County, Lu Cheng was resting and received a call from Deputy Chief Doctor Song Daoneng of Hepatobiliary Surgery at State People’s Hospital.

Wang Hua was a native of Yu City, working in Su Province. Last time, Lu Cheng managed to save his life but couldn’t ensure he returned to a healthy lifestyle.

Post-pancreatic rupture leakage wasn’t something that State People’s Hospital could handle.

Lu Cheng chuckled, ”Director Song, transferring the patient is a good thing. You didn’t have to call me.”

Lu Cheng turned his head to see his parents tying up ’bride price money!’ When they saw Lu Cheng, they smiled, feeling reluctant to part with the money yet glad that Lu Cheng was completing a major life milestone.

For them, a sum of tens of thousands was no small amount.

”Lu Cheng, it was Wang Hua’s specific request. He still appreciates you.” Song Daoneng explained.
