System Came When the Doctor was Thirty

Mu Nanshu nodded upon hearing, but she didn’t only see the glamorous side: ”Isn’t the pressure on the person in charge quite big?”

Lu Cheng replied, ”Progress will be faster this way. Clinical trials are the biggest and only true treasure trove. All medical research should ultimately be grounded in clinical patients.”

”Let’s provide better treatments for patients.”

”Let’s go! What should we eat?” Mu Nanshu asked.

”Dry pot intestines?” Lu Cheng replied.

Lu Cheng and Mu Nanshu happily decided to head out.

This good news wasn’t much related to the research team, so Lu Cheng and the others didn’t invite the team members to join in the fun.

...

In the laboratory, Zhang Xibei stood honestly in front of Dai Linfang, his anxious eyes filled with envy and respect: ”Brother Dai, still not good enough?”

”The detail handling is still lacking, look here.”

”The construction of animal models must not only be similar but also stable, both are indispensable.”

”Otherwise, the model you build will die halfway in transportation, how can others use it for practice?” Dai Linfang retorted.

Of course, Zhang Xibei understood the reasoning, but doing it wasn’t easy: ”Okay, I’ll think of a solution.”

Dai Linfang lowered his voice and said, ”Zhang Xibei, your qualifications and talent are better than Ni Xixin’s!~ So you should try to think differently, don’t completely follow her path and thinking.”

”Currently, although her level is slightly higher than yours, you should listen to advice, but not become a puppet, understand?”

”In the research group, someone needs to stand out and appropriately question, looking for gaps.”

”Both Lu Cheng and I can’t allocate too much time to building animal models.”

”Lu Cheng needs to focus on development; I need to think about how these surgical techniques should be applied.”

”After development, Xie Yuan’an and the others discuss the findings; Mu Nanshu is responsible for writing papers, project proposals, and managing funds.”

”Don’t think I’m bothersome, this detailed division is a necessary component of a genuinely healthy and advanced research group.”

”I’m not purposely holding myself high!~”

Zhang Xibei nodded: ”Brother Dai, I never thought of it that way. I’m much like Brother Lu, my understanding and knowledge are quite shallow, so whatever you say, we just follow.”

After more than a month, Dai Linfang had firmly established his position in the research group.

Even Lu Cheng felt that Dai Linfang indeed held a high position in a formal research group, and under his coordination, the group’s operation finally started taking shape.

No longer like before, swapping positions haphazardly between us.

”In marching and fighting, food supplies come first. Money is crucial, so you and Ni Xixin are our group’s most important logistics.”

”Our research group’s first pile of gold must come from your combined efforts.”

”To earn money, gain fame, and publish papers, how great is that!~”

”This is opportunity.”

”An opportunity anchored by Lu Cheng as a connector.”

”Once these models stabilize, the money you were deceived of before will be replenished in full within less than half a year.”

”I, on the other hand, still need to provide Lu Cheng with more connections for him to determine the final direction,” Dai Linfang sighed deeply.

Zhang Xibei suddenly teased softly: ”Convinced? Brother Dai?”

The conversation clearly shifted away.

Dai Linfang privately chatted with Zhang Xibei about other matters: ”What can you do if not convinced?”

”How many beatings must one endure before learning?”

”Let me tell you, Lu Cheng is just a freak, he shouldn’t exist in this world.”

Zhang Xibei grew curious: ”Brother Lu learns things faster than you, Brother Dai?”

Zhang Xibei knew, when it comes to development, Dai Linfang couldn’t outmatch Lu Cheng. Since joining the research group, Dai Linfang hadn’t been involved in hands-on tasks, mainly sorting out project ideas.

When bored, Dai Linfang wanted to elevate his status, so he considered challenging Lu Cheng to see who learns faster, just as a diversion.

But recently, Dai Linfang hadn’t mentioned this matter.

Though not usually gossipy, Zhang Xibei was curious about the result, so he asked today.

Dai Linfang repeated, mumbling: ”He’s just a freak.”

At that moment, Xie Yuan’an suddenly walked past the office door.

Dai Linfang immediately stood up and dashed out.

That speed was faster than a rabbit.

This made Zhang Xibei slightly confused, but soon, Zhang Xibei smiled knowingly.

Many understood that Dai Linfang was pursuing Xie Yuan’an, but it seemed Xie Yuan’an didn’t quite realize it.

At that moment, Zhang Xibei considered his relationship with Ni Xixin.

After thinking carefully, Zhang Xibei didn’t feel they could have any deeper connection.

First, they were too familiar; second, after different experiences, their mindsets had changed; they were great as friends but probably just friends, nothing more.

Going any deeper, they might both feel awkward.

After shaking off Dai Linfang’s influence, Zhang Xibei tidied up and prepared to leave for the day…

Zhang Xibei didn’t invite Ni Xixin along.

...

In the restaurant, after listening to Lu Cheng’s analysis, Mu Nanshu calmly said, ”Lu Cheng, what then?”

”You won’t stay long in Xiangzhou.”

Lu Cheng shook his head, determined: ”I haven’t thought that far!~”

”If the opportunity arises, I’ll definitely seize it. By doing so, at least I can face the patients during my tenure.”

”If I don’t, being removed later won’t cause any substantial loss.”

Mu Nanshu laughed, ”I can tell, you’re very happy. You truly enjoy being a doctor.”

”Do you mean you chose to study medicine because you liked it? Does it actually matter whether you enter clinical work or not?” Lu Cheng asked.

Intended to reassure her, Lu Cheng prompted Mu Nanshu to honestly say, ”Before yes, now no... But somehow, it doesn’t matter that much anymore... Me.”

Coincidentally, Lu Cheng’s phone rang.

After listening, Lu Cheng was taken aback, ”Huh? Why?”
