Lu Cheng was stunned—

【缝合系技能：缝合术（专精0/200）、肌腱缝合术（专精16/20）、神经缝合术（熟练3/10）、血管缝合术（熟练5/10）、骨缝合术（熟练2/10）、膜系缝合术（熟练9/10）】

[Suture Techniques: Unnamed Tendon Suture Techniques (Beginner 2/5)]

After calming down, Lu Cheng's expression tightened: "???"

What happened to my modified Tang method and Kessler suture technique? You've destroyed all of them.
That's something Lu Cheng invested a lot of skill points in.

While Lu Cheng was lost in thought, someone walked straight into the classroom and approached him, intending to call him out!
When Lu Cheng came to his senses, he felt a little numb.

No, in university, teachers don't care if you daydream in class, but this is an advanced training program where you get called out and subjected to PUA if you daydream in class?

Seeing that Lu Cheng hadn't moved, Professor Xie Xiao tapped the table again: "Come with me. Professor Zhong's time is precious, we won't wait for you for long."

After hearing what Xie Xiao said, Lu Cheng quickly got up.

If you get caught daydreaming in class, so be it. Whatever happens, happens.

……

Everyone else also heard Professor Xie Xiao's sudden intrusion and what she had said to Lu Cheng.

But when they saw Lu Cheng's age and learned about his workplace, they knew that Lu Cheng's "chicken feet" were no ordinary thing.

We are all seasoned adults who have long understood the rules of society, so it doesn't matter when we reveal them.

After Lu Cheng followed Professor Xie Xiao out the door, they wandered around to many different places before finally finding Professor Zhong Junyun smoking at the entrance of a fire escape.

When Lu Cheng arrived, Zhong Junyun, who was leaning against the door frame, handed Lu Cheng a cigarette case.

Lu Cheng was hesitating whether to take one or politely decline when Professor Zhong Junyun's smirking voice pierced his ears: "I heard from Xie Xiao that you're going to take on the people from Huashan Hospital one-on-one?"

Lu Cheng's mind went blank.

What the hell is that?!

Although the logic is sound, is it possible to put it so bluntly?

Lu Cheng looked up and stared intently at Zhong Junyun. At this close range, Lu Cheng could clearly see the details on Professor Zhong's face—

His skin was slightly wrinkled with crow's feet, his eyebrows were high like cliffs, and the ends of his eyebrows sharply curved downwards to form acute angles, like geometric zigzag lines carved by a scalpel; his cheekbones were like cold iron bowstrings stretched horizontally, forming a T-shaped steel frame with the vertical nasal bones.

With a jaw angle of over 100 degrees, the masseter muscles are taut like a stone relief, and the chin leans forward like a shield.

When illuminated at an angle, the cheekbones can have a metallic matte sheen.

Lu Cheng swallowed hard twice: "Teacher Zhong, I didn't say that."

Zhong Junyun's vertical lines were deeply etched, his brows were furrowed, and his triangular hooked eyebrows twitched: "If you haven't said that, then you really have thought about it."

"Hey buddy, this is interesting."

“If Xie Xiao hadn’t said that, I wouldn’t have been curious at all.” Zhong Junyun’s smile was a little chilling.

It seemed as if Lu Cheng's idea of ​​taking over Huashan Hospital was exactly what Zhong Junyun was thinking.

If you were to say that Director Lin Qianlong of your county hospital is a carnivorous jungler, then he'd be an absolute ruthless jungler.

“Teacher Zhong, that’s not what I thought either.” Lu Cheng knew that some things could be thought but not said.

If Professor Zhong Junyun could say this out loud, he would be criticized to the point of having a headache.

Every top hospital has its share of experts, with skills passed down through generations. If someone at Huashan Hospital gets upset and an older academician steps in to directly attack Lu Cheng, Lu Cheng's life will be ruined.

"So you're a coward now?" Zhong Junyun's expression instantly changed, becoming utterly bored. Lu Cheng sniffed and began to reason with him: "You can do it, but you can't think about it, and you can't say it."

Yes, if you want to hit someone, go ahead and hit them. You can kill them or break their bones, it doesn't matter!
They're incompetent, and the old man won't cause trouble.

But if you try to tarnish someone's reputation by being arrogant and gossipy, people won't allow you to do that.

"Alright, based on what you said, I can protect you."

"Come and read with me," Zhong Junyun said, and then left.

Lu Cheng looked at Xie Xiao in confusion, while Xie Xiao, in a fit of impatience, stretched out her chubby little hand and started hitting him: "What are you standing there for? Aren't you going to follow us and call us Master?"

"If you go to Huashan Hospital with Professor Zhong, you can walk around like you own the place, and no one will dare to say anything to you. Everyone will treat you with utmost respect. Aren't you stupid?"

After thinking it over, Lu Cheng finally couldn't resist Professor Xie Xiao's introduction earlier—

The chairman of the Hubei Provincial Hand Surgery Branch and the vice chairman of the National Hand Surgery Branch—this is a nationally renowned surgeon who can do whatever he wants across the country.

Lu Cheng quickly followed: "Teacher Zhong, Teacher Zhong... thank you for your kindness..."

Zhong Junyun paused slightly, raising his chin: "Are you trying to politely refuse me?"

Lu Cheng quickly shook his head: "No, Teacher Zhong."

"Yes, I wanted to say that I have some thoughts of my own. I'm not young anymore, and I've been an attending physician for four years. So, could I apply for promotion to associate professor and then come to you for further study?"

"It won't take long, and it will save a lot of time in the process of getting promoted."

"Moreover, learning is a lifelong endeavor. Whether it's a year earlier or a year later, I still need your careful guidance, teacher, to find the right direction."

"Of course, I also hope that you, teacher, can give me a better choice!" Lu Cheng expressed his opinion, and also hoped that Zhong Junyun could give him better advice.

Zhong Junyun frowned, his brows furrowing again, and slowly nodded: "This is the first time I've accepted a student of your age. Your current idea is not bad."

"If you really have clinical talent, you should definitely study hard and work hard in the future."

"But what about the distance?"

Upon seeing that Professor Zhong Junyun had agreed, Lu Cheng immediately assured him, "As long as you say so, I guarantee I can get there within half a day, except for evenings."

Are you kidding me? In front of a professor like Professor Zhong Junyun, what's with the aloofness?

Zhong Junyun personally selected him as a student, intending for him to stay at the hospital.

The advice given to me by Professor Tong Yuan'an and his colleagues at Xiangya Hospital was simply to improve my academic qualifications; they made no other promises, mainly because they couldn't afford to make any.

So what's with Lu Cheng's arrogance? He's been begging for so many years, he knows just how difficult it is to find a good teacher.

"Really want to do it?" Zhong Junyun seemed to have some obsession with it, and his speech was quite rough.

Lu Cheng nodded, but didn't say anything.

"That's still a bit difficult, you'd better be mentally prepared!" Zhong Junyun walked forward with his hands behind his back.

Lu Cheng continued chasing, catching up to Zhong Junyun's side: "Teacher, it may not be that difficult."

Bang! ~
Zhong Junyun was so stunned by Lu Cheng's words that he forgot to turn around and his forehead hit the wall. Fortunately, the momentum was not fast and the force was not great.

He looked at Lu Cheng as if he were some kind of oddball.

"Where do you get your confidence from?" Zhong Junyun asked, rubbing his scalp.

Lu Cheng pressed his tongue against his mouth, took a deep breath, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "As long as the teacher is here, it's not difficult!"

Zhong Junyun thought for a moment, and it seemed that no other sentence could make him see Lu Cheng's intentions more clearly than Lu Cheng's current tone.

Zhong Junyun patted Lu Cheng's head: "Are you stupid... Go on, go to class."
