System Came When the Doctor was Thirty

Next day, morning, 10:20 a.m.

Lu Cheng, Dai Linfang, and a few others walked out of the emergency department, feeling a bit groggy.

Lu Cheng reached out and turned Liu Nongqiu around: ”Come with me, I’ll take you back.”

”Dai Linfang, get some good rest. No need to go to the lab today, health is more important!~”

Yesterday, after being woken up by Dong Dao, Lu Cheng and Dai Linfang immediately encountered a destructive injury case.

The ’unlucky’ case was a relatively simple one, within Lu Cheng’s capabilities.

After finishing the surgery, Lu Cheng and Dai Linfang only stepped down from the operating room at 9:53.

Liu Nongqiu had it rough as well, with no major patients but constant minor injuries.

The considerate Liu Nongqiu didn’t leave directly after his shift but slept in the department, planning to seek ’mentorship’ after Lu Cheng and Dai Linfang got off work!

A 24-hour shift and being in surgery for over 20 hours are completely different experiences.

Dai Linfang nodded: ”Alright, I’ll message them later; we won’t go tonight.”

”Take care of yourself first!~”

”See you.”

Dai Linfang got in the car, then pushed the door open again and raised his chin: ”I just called Director Xiang to apologize while you were in the bathroom.”

”He told me to call him Brother Liu in the future.”

Lu Cheng cursed the second generation under his breath.

He then took Liu Nongqiu to his car. After Liu Nongqiu stopped, he suggested: ”Director Lu, I have a driver’s license, just no car.”

”I couldn’t find a job for the last six months and drove for DiDi.”

”Alright, you can drive then.” Lu Cheng nodded.

After speaking, Lu Cheng turned, opened the front passenger door, and while fastening his seatbelt, asked: ”Did you rent a place in my neighborhood on purpose or by accident?”

Liu Nongqiu didn’t hide it: ”Director Lu, it was on purpose.”

”Mainly to conveniently seek your guidance. I know you might leave soon, and the chance to learn from you is rare.”

”But I definitely won’t disturb your daily life, just make it easier to visit you.”

”Before I come, I’ll always ask for your permission.”

Anyone who has been through life’s trials tends to be very considerate.

Of course, not only Lu Cheng knows how to handle social relationships.

Lu Cheng used to do the same with Chen Song, so he nodded upon hearing this: ”Don’t be nervous, whether it’s intentional or coincidental doesn’t matter.”

”Work and study hard.”

”When learning, it’s okay to use some brains; seeking opportunities to learn isn’t shameful.”

Liu Nongqiu swallowed his saliva, relaxing his tone: ”Director Lu, actually, it was after seeing Director Xiang that I made this decision.”

”In school, the teachers never taught these things.”

”In the hospital where I was trained before, no one taught these either.”

”But Director Xiang gave me a very vivid lesson.”

As Liu Nongqiu spoke, he slowly drove the car out, turned right, and left the parking lot.

Lu Cheng’s car was registered at the hospital, so there was no need to pay, allowing for a smooth exit.

Lu Cheng nodded: ”Learning requires personal initiative, but the environment is also very important.”

”People like Director Xiang are rare at the State Hospital.”

”But too much of anything isn’t good; neither Dai Linfang nor I really like his style.”

Liu Nongqiu quickly replied with a smile: ”Director Lu, what about me?”

”Even less likable.” Lu Cheng replied calmly, without any intention.

Liu Nongqiu felt instinctively nervous after hearing this. Feeling a bit restrained, he wanted to say something but didn’t dare.

He glanced secretly at Lu Cheng, who was resting his eyes as if nothing had happened.

Liu Nongqiu dared not disturb him further.

The car reached the underground parking lot of the neighborhood. After both Lu Cheng and Liu Nongqiu got out, Lu Cheng said: ”What I don’t like about you is when you clearly want to express something but hold back because of shyness.”

”You need to change this!~”

”Learning to gauge the right balance, you’ll have to figure this out on your own gradually.”

Liu Nongqiu was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, then delighted: ”Thank you, Director Lu.”

Lu Cheng turned and walked towards the elevator shaft of his building.

No one ever taught him these things; everything he learned was through his own exploration.

However, he didn’t mind teaching others what he had discovered himself.

Upon returning home, Mu Nanshu was already gone.

She’s a ’workaholic’ too, probably has been busy in the lab for a while.

Nonetheless, though Mu Nanshu wasn’t there, she had prepared lunch ingredients for Lu Cheng in advance.

It was simply beef brisket stewed by Mu Nanshu before going out in the morning.

There was a sticky note on the fridge door.

Lu Cheng saw it and smiled knowingly.

This wasn’t Mu Nanshu humbly trying to please; she had said it herself, it’s better to eat quality ingredients and order less takeout.

It doesn’t mean that those who give more are just blindly devoted.

Sometimes, finding the right person and offering appropriately is a kind of happiness.

Lu Cheng didn’t mind, he put the stew pot back in the kitchen to heat, then steamed a bowl of rice.

Since it was well past breakfast time and having not eaten a grain, Lu Cheng certainly needed to eat something before taking a nap.

After doing all this, Lu Cheng sat down, sent a message to Mu Nanshu asking if she was busy, then continued sorting through unread messages.

There were quite a few sources of messages, including from Professor Chen Song, Professor Tong Yuan’an, Professor Xie Xiao, and also classmates from Han City Zhongnan Hospital...

Mu Nanshu replied: ”Working overtime today, should be back by 3 p.m.”

”Having lunch with Ni Xixin in the lab.”

”Okay.” Lu Cheng nodded.

At the right moment, Lu Cheng checked his panel again.

[Current Skill Points: 18.9 points.]

Of course, before his skill points were cleared, Lu Cheng’s panel was already looking particularly lavish.
