"Yes, yes, that's it. When operating, you need to pay attention to the force in your hand and the direction of the force transmission. Don't make any zigzags; there should be a steady line of force transmission."

“This line isn’t marked, but you need to develop your own habitual direction of transport. Use this as a reference and keep transporting in this way. Never break the line. This is roughly what you can do with your level of basic skills,” Liu Huanglong said to Lu Cheng, looking up.

“Okay, Teacher Liu, I understand.” Lu Cheng nodded.

Liu Huanglong then noticed Xie Yuan'an and the others had gathered around: "What...what are you doing? Are you practicing your own thing? Why are you watching us?"

Xie Yuan'an's lips twitched slightly: "Teacher Liu, it's 12:19, time to go eat."

"Professor Xie has called twice to urge you to finish class, but I saw that you hadn't finished yet, so I didn't want to bother you."

Brother, dear father, look at the time! get out of class should have ended at 11:30, but you've gone overtime by more than 45 minutes.

"Is it already past midnight?" Liu Huanglong raised his left hand to check his watch before standing up naturally. "Let's tidy up and go eat."

After getting up, Liu Huanglong remembered Dong Qiaoshan: "Little Dong, how's your training going?"

Dong Qiaoshan's square face had been transformed into a fox-like face: "Teacher Liu, thanks to your kindness and guidance, I have made some progress. After practicing for a while, I should be able to do the nerve suturing even better."

Liu Huanglong said in a serious tone: "Technical skills require constant practice. Use it or lose it. Practice more is the key. A teacher's guidance can only get you started. The real cultivation is up to you."

"Yes, yes, Teacher Liu, you're right." Dong Qiaoshan nodded vigorously. If he wasn't afraid of sounding sarcastic, then he would definitely agree.

But he didn't dare say that to Liu Huanglong.

Liu Huanglong is 39 years old this year. He is already a chief physician and professor, and has been promoted to senior professional for two years. He is a recipient of the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars. Moreover, he has an academician named Taishan as a powerful support in his family.

Furthermore, Liu Huanglong has produced a wealth of research output in recent years. Together with Professor Lan Hualuo of Zhongnan Hospital, he has greatly developed the Department of Orthopedics at Zhongnan Hospital, making him seem like the next academic leader of orthopedics in Hubei Province...

Liu Huanglong glanced at Lu Cheng with some reluctance, took off his gloves, and went to the sink to wash his hands. He said, "This kind of training course is mainly to broaden your horizons, to give you a more systematic growth path, and to let you know roughly where the upper limit of a technology is."

"The focus is on long-term development, not just one or two hours of specific instruction. You all have instructional videos, so watch them repeatedly when you get back, and you should still gain something from them."

Liu Huanglong is a teacher, so he is still making excuses for his 'favoritism'.

Why do teachers like students with good grades?
The feedback is great!

If someone learns everything I teach, doesn't that mean I have excellent teaching skills?

How fulfilling would it be to be a teacher like that?
If students are all like oxen, knowing nothing when asked and unable to learn even after being taught, then teachers will start to question the meaning of life.

However, it seems that my relationship with this kid as master and apprentice has come to an end. I should have known better than to go to Zhongnan Hospital.

"Xie Xiaomei, who is that?" Liu Huanglong asked Xie Yuan'an in a low and kind voice.

Xie Yuan'an is thirty years old this year, only nine years younger than Liu Huanglong. When Liu Huanglong was in graduate school, Xie Yuan'an was already fifteen years old, so it's inappropriate for him to call her niece.

When she's cursing someone, she acts like an enemy, but when she's asking for something, she calls her "little sister."

Xie Yuan'an's eyes were deep and unfathomable, her mood was deep and unfathomable, but her tone was not unfathomable, but rather stiff: "Lu Cheng." Liu Huanglong had already started wiping his hands, but before Xie Yuan'an could finish speaking, he asked: "Whose student is he? Has he secured a job yet?"

Liu Huanglong instinctively assumed that Lu Cheng was a PhD student in the department who was there to audit the class, since there were seven people in total.

“No, not at all. From the county hospital,” Xie Yuan’an replied.

Dong Qiaoshan and the others left very sensibly, after all, Xie Yuan'an was part of the teaching team, and teachers usually have a private dinner together after class.

Dong Qiaoshan was a local strongman, so he went to find a location first, but he also sent his elder brother Liu Qiming to stay behind and help Lu Cheng organize the control panel.

Liu Huanglong's face froze, and his eyes nearly underwent automatic enlargement surgery: "Huh?"

The next second: "Really?"

"Professor Zhong's student." Fearing that she might cause a misunderstanding, Xie Yuan'an quickly told the truth.

Liu Huanglong was not one to be afraid of Professor Zhong Junyun. Two years ago, he was still at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, but Professor Zhong Junyun was in his prime, and Liu Huanglong knew that there was no hope of him being promoted to ward director in the near future.

So he went directly to Zhongnan Hospital to serve as the director of hand surgery.

"Oh, I knew it! Xiao Xie, you're really joking. How could someone like this be a doctor at the county hospital?" Liu Huanglong chuckled sheepishly.

"Teacher Xie and Teacher Zhong must have been waiting long. Let's go, let's go and register quickly." Liu Huanglong quickly changed the subject, but still stared at Lu Cheng for a while as he left.

This kid's talent is truly remarkable; even Professor Lan Hualuo might not be able to catch up. It's just a pity that he's been targeted by his old boss.

……

Lu Cheng and Liu Qiming arrived last in a private room at a restaurant.

Lu Cheng had just sent Mu Nanshu a message saying that they wouldn't be having lunch together and received a reply when someone seized on his weakness.

"Xiao Lu... don't be so aloof! You were aloof in class, and you're still aloof now!"

"Is this your idol's cultivation notes?" Dong Qiaoshan looks like a very serious person, but he is actually very generous and good at joking.

"Teacher Dong, you are the real male god, our idol. What kind of male god am I?"

"Professor Liu just used PUA on me too. His exact words were, 'Do you think you're Dong Qiaoshan?'"

"Right? Guys, you all heard that, right?" Lu Cheng was good at finding openings and seizing every opportunity.

Dong Qiaoshan's overall strength is definitely better than Lu Cheng's; this is indeed Professor Liu Huanglong's original statement.

But in reality, this wasn't an insult to Lu Cheng.

What is Lu Cheng's age, and what is Dong Qiaoshan's age? Dong Qiaoshan's ability to stay at Hubei Provincial People's Hospital shows his accumulated experience and talent; he could easily get into any top hospital in the country!

Dong Qiaoshan is so young to be an associate chief physician and associate professor. How could his talents be ordinary?
And you, Lu Cheng, are only thirty years old. Liu Huanglong using Dong Qiaoshan to manipulate you is clearly a sign that he thinks highly of you.

Don't they value the time of other geniuses?

Are all other people's efforts and hard work wasted?
Dong Qiaoshan's old face instantly turned incredibly red, and he looked at Lu Cheng with a slight tremor at the corner of his mouth: "It seems that young Lu still has a wild heart. That's good. Young people should have a lot of drive."

"But this kind of drive leaves no way for us guys to survive."

Liu Huanglong, so beautiful and charming, was taken by Lu Cheng alone, even though he was everyone's teacher...
