Chapter 112 This Little Brother is No Ordinary (Bonus Chapter for 1600 First Subscriptions)

1215, 12th floor of the Functional Laboratory Building!

13:47 p.m.
Lu Cheng and his five older brothers sat alternately, each looking around for a while. Not seeing any "teacher" approach, the oldest-looking one took the initiative to greet him:
"I'm a little unfamiliar with all of you teachers, how about we exchange WeChat contacts? Let me introduce myself, I'm Han Gongqiang from the Hand Surgery Department of Enshi Municipal People's Hospital." Han Gongqiang has broad shoulders, solid muscles, and is quite talkative.

"Hello, Brother Han, I'm Lin Bin from the First Affiliated Hospital of Three Gorges University. I'm thirty-nine years old this year, so I must be the oldest person besides you, Brother Han, right?" Lin Bin is quite tall and thin, and he looks very refined. He forced a smile while wearing glasses.

"I'm Ding Mengzhuo from HS City People's Hospital. I'm the same age as Brother Bin, born in May." Ding Mengzhuo touched his rather protruding belly; his slightly chubby figure made him look like a fat boy.

"Dong Qiaoshan, from the Provincial People's Hospital." Dong Qiaoshan had a rather serious and aloof appearance, with a standard square face. Even with a smile on his face, he still exuded a subtle sense of oppression.

After Dong Qiaoshan spoke, neither Liu Qiming nor Lu Cheng responded. Hubei Provincial People's Hospital is one of the leading hospitals in Hubei Province, and its orthopedics department is not much weaker than that of Union Hospital.

Dong Qiaoshan realized that his words had made the atmosphere awkward, so he smiled and said, "Since we're all here, we're all classmates. I'm here for tutoring because I'm not very good at my studies, so there's no need for you guys to be nervous."

Liu Qiming, whose eyebrows were rather thick, immediately put on a fawning smile and said, "Hello, Teacher Dong. I am Liu Qiming from XN City People's Hospital. I have heard of your name for a long time, but it is a pity that I have never had the opportunity to visit you."

XN City People's Hospital and Provincial People's Hospital have a close relationship and are affiliated medical consortium units.

"Hello, Teacher Dong."

"Hello, Teacher Dong..." The others, including Lu Cheng, also greeted him politely.

Given Dong Qiaoshan's age, even if he is not an associate professor, he is a senior attending physician, and his abilities should not be underestimated.

In fact, everyone noticed Lu Cheng at first glance, since Lu Cheng looked so young. Dong Qiaoshan looked at Lu Cheng and asked, "What's your name, brother? Where do you work?"

Lu Cheng quickly replied truthfully, "Teacher Dong, my name is Lu Cheng, Lu as in land and Cheng as in success. I'm from Longxian People's Hospital in Hunan Province..."

Lu Cheng's words left everyone even more bewildered. They even started exchanging bewildered glances.

This atmosphere lasted for about three or four seconds before Dong Qiaoshan took the initiative to extend his hand, becoming even more polite: "Dr. Lu is not very old, is he?"

"I'm exactly thirty this year," Lu Cheng said with a smile.

"Not bad, not bad, you're really promising at such a young age. When I was your age, I was still playing in the mud. You guys are so mature for your age."

"If I have the chance in the future, I must give you some pointers," Dong Qiaoshan said with exceptional enthusiasm.

A doctor in a small county in Hunan Province, whose connections have reached their peak, must have matured early and come from a wealthy family.

Lu Cheng quickly replied, "Teacher Dong, you flatter me. It should be you and the other teachers who are helping me!"

"Look, Xiao Lu is still sensible. He speaks and acts in such a gentle and pleasant way."

Dong Qiaoshan asked casually, "But Xiao Lu, why did you choose a county hospital as a stepping stone?"

Lu Cheng said, "Teacher Dong, I've been working at the county hospital for many years without making a name for myself, so I thought I'd come here to learn something."

"I hope to learn some skills to enrich myself."

Lu Cheng understood the unspoken meaning behind Dong Qiaoshan and the others' words, but dared not make the mistake.

Dong Qiaoshan's face is a bit like a twisted rope.

He's been working at the county hospital for many years, which proves he doesn't have a high level of education. So how did he get into the hospital?
But Dong Qiaoshan did not press the matter further: "Xiao Lu, your love of learning is something we should all learn from."

"It's fate that we've all come together. I'm practically a Han City local myself, so I'd like to presume to suggest that we have dinner together tonight and get to know each other."

"Brother Han, please don't mind that I'm young and naive." Dong Qiaoshan looked rather serious, but once he started talking, he became the most talkative, as if he had a chatterbox. Dong Qiaoshan's workplace was the Provincial People's Hospital, so how could Han Gongqiang dare to think that Dong Qiaoshan was naive? "Teacher Dong, you know the place and the people well, so it's most appropriate for you to make the arrangements."

"However, let me make this clear beforehand: I'll be paying for the meal..."

“Then I’ll take care of the wine; it’s already been brought over,” Liu Qiming immediately reported.

Han Gongqiang pulled out his Yellow Crane Tower 1916 cigarettes, offering them to passersby as he said, "Want to go out and have some fun?"

Dong Qiaoshan and the others readily accepted the challenge. Lu Cheng didn't say he didn't know how, and followed the crowd out of the classroom before going into the restroom.

The five old smokers lit their lighters and began puffing away. Lu Cheng, with a cigarette in his mouth but no lighter, was immediately lit by Ding Mengzhuo beside him.

Lu Cheng took a puff and immediately started coughing, revealing his newfound status as a chain smoker.

Han Gongqiang, being the oldest, didn't pay attention to Lu Cheng's social niceties and asked in a low voice, "Teacher Dong, this training course organized by Professor Xie and his team is really quite substantial, isn't it?"

"Six months ago, our department head urged us to sign up. Does Teacher Dong know anything about this?"

Dong Qiaoshan nodded: "I heard from our director that Professor Xie managed to invite two cadavers this time!"

Dong Qiaoshan emphasized: "It's two teachers, not just a part of the teacher's work. That's why I came here. Moreover, this nerve suturing training course even includes hands-on practice, making it the highest-level and most detailed training program..."

After Dong Qiaoshan finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Cheng and said, "There were originally only five spots, but now there's an extra brother. It's all fate."

All ten eyes turned to Lu Cheng, and they immediately understood Dong Qiaoshan's meaning.

Lu Cheng felt a little embarrassed being stared at by these guys, but for some reason, he could only pretend to be ignorant.

Advanced training programs are not fair entrance exams; if the teachers are willing and the students are willing, then it's all justified.

Han Gongqiang and his men were all seasoned veterans; they knew that some things were better left unsaid, so they took the initiative to laugh and say, "Little Lu, you still need to practice your skills."

Lu Cheng: "Sorry, Brother Han, I'm wasting your good cigarettes."

Han Gongqiang said nonchalantly, "Where can you find good cigarettes?"

"They're all harmful things."

As the group was talking, a man walked in through the toilet door. It was Cao Kong, who had been in charge of registration.

"Teachers, Professor Xie has arrived. Please go in quickly, but please be mindful of discipline," Cao Kong, a PhD student, urged.

"Professor Xie will be here soon."

Upon hearing this, the group quickly and decisively threw away their cigarette butts and stomped on the ground. Then they took a few deep breaths and filed out, including Lu Cheng.

Xie Yuan'an watched helplessly as a group of seasoned veterans walked into the classroom with fawning smiles.

She had long known that she was a slacker and couldn't hold the class in place. If it weren't for the need for experience in conducting classes for promotion, she wouldn't have been able to do this kind of thing at all.

After everyone was seated, Xie Yuan'an coughed lightly and said, "Now that all of you are here, on behalf of the Hand Surgery Department of our hospital, I would like to welcome you all."

"I hope we can spend this five-day training course together, learn from each other, and gain something from it. Now, I will briefly introduce the course schedule to you all..."
