This doctor is already middle-aged, and he's only just started practicing medicine.

Chapter 123 The 'Tragedy' of a Small Person!
The living room was bathed in warm light, and the temperature was just right.

Mu Nanshu was wearing a light yellow silk knitted bathrobe, sitting upright with her feet together, listening attentively to Lu Cheng's words.

“I think it’s pretty good. According to you, the competition mechanism for associate senior physicians at Peking Union Medical College Hospital is so complicated that it’s almost like a pretzel. Once I’m promoted to associate senior physician, I can’t be removed from the position. So it’s a blessing in disguise…” Lu Cheng is a very open-minded person.

Whether or not Lu Cheng can stay at Peking Union Medical College Hospital is something Professor Zhong Junyun certainly cannot give Lu Cheng a definite answer about; Lu Cheng will need to work on it himself.

But in Lu Cheng's view, as long as he has time, the ladder to success is not something he cannot overcome.

In front of Mu Nanshu, Lu Cheng dared not sell the distant future, but the journey to the future was not as difficult as he had imagined, and Lu Cheng would not sell Mu Nanshu any anxiety.

Mu Nanshu nodded slightly and was about to reply when Lu Cheng's phone rang.

Lu Cheng picked up the caller ID and, seeing that the caller was Professor Zhong Junyun, shushed, "It's Professor Zhong."

Lu Cheng sat up from his lying position and answered the call.

Zhong Junyun immediately launched into a tirade: "Lu Cheng, when you were doing your residency training at Zhongnan Hospital, you promised Professor Dong Yaohua that if you wanted to study in the future, you would go to him?"

"Is there such a thing?"

Lu Cheng's residency training unit was the Department of Trauma Surgery at Zhongnan Hospital, and at that time, Lu Cheng was under the supervision of Professor Dong Yaohua.

Lu Cheng wasn't particularly outstanding at the time, but he was sincere, so once when Professor Dong Yaohua was performing surgery, he jokingly mentioned it.

But that was all that was mentioned, and that was the end of it. When Lu Cheng asked again, Professor Dong Yaohua gave a vague answer. After Lu Cheng asked once more without getting any results, he stopped asking.

Later, Lu Cheng learned the reason from the other older brothers: Professor Dong Yaohua had taken a liking to Lu Cheng because of his strength that day.

When Lu Cheng was almost driven to despair by staying in Long County, he tried to send messages and emails to Professor Dong, but unsurprisingly, they went unanswered.

"Teacher, yes, that's true, but I asked Teacher Dong about it later, and he ignored me."

"Let me think... It must have been when I was performing a fracture surgery that Professor Dong saw how strong I was and that's when he said that."

"Teacher, how did you find out about this?" Lu Cheng asked.

Zhong Junyun's voice distorted as he roared, "Now Zhongnan Hospital is asking me for their personnel!!!"

"After retiring, Professor Dong did not accept the hospital's offer of re-employment. Instead, he returned to his hometown of Yishi, where he tragically drowned while saving someone. He is a role model hero in both Hanshi and Yishi."

"Why do you have this kind of thing going on behind your back?"

Lu Cheng was quite surprised after hearing this and said, "No... really?"

Lu Cheng glanced at Mu Nanshu, his tone surprised: "Teacher? Am I that unlucky?"

Professor Dong Yaohua died while saving someone from drowning, which explains why Lu Cheng's later messages went unanswered.

"Huh? What's so unlucky?" Zhong Junyun wasn't just venting his anger on Lu Cheng, so he continued to ask.

"When I was applying to Huashan Hospital, my girlfriend actually asked beforehand and said I was guaranteed to get in."

"But before I went for the second interview, that teacher who was skilled in the operation died suddenly in the operating room while on duty."

"Professor Dong, he..."

Zhong Junyun would have been better off not listening, because upon hearing this, his throat immediately tightened, and he immediately said in a fawning voice, "Little Lu,"

"Can't we talk things over between the two of us?"

I asked you a question, and this is what you're telling me?
If every teacher who votes for you dies, what am I supposed to do with you?
Lu Cheng continued, "Teacher, where I study is my personal choice, and it has nothing to do with Professor Lan, right?"

“If Professor Dong really wanted to take me on as a student, I have been with him for a total of 23 months, and he has already made his intentions clear.”

"I asked again later, and Professor Dong told me to take the exam first." Lu Cheng knew, of course, that Professor Lan Hualuo had taken a liking to him and was pulling strings behind the scenes.

Zhong Junyun said, "But Professor Dong did indeed write that sentence into his notebook."

"Lu Cheng? Sigh, do you know how difficult this situation is for me right now?"

"Professor Lan wants to take on apprentices on behalf of his master, and I can't utter a single word."

"What do you expect me to do? Disrespect veteran comrades and heroes?"

Lu Cheng: "..."

"So, what do you mean, teacher?" Lu Cheng's heart was pounding, as if he had sensed something.

"I can only respect my predecessor's last wishes now!"

"Fuck you!" Zhong Junyun hung up the phone in a strange tone, his last words sounding somewhat distorted.

Lu Cheng had his phone on speakerphone, so Mu Nanshu could hear that Lu Cheng was being sent out by Shui Lingling like a piece of cargo.

Professor Zhong Junyun's previous promise to Lu Cheng has gone down the drain at this moment, leaving Lu Cheng no room to make any unilateral choices!

Lu Cheng took deep breaths, biting his lip and squinting his eyes. After a while, he finally let out a long sigh.

Mu Nanshu had already sat up straight, reached out and took Lu Cheng's right hand fingers in her hands, gently stroking and caressing them: "Don't, don't be angry..."

"If you feel wronged, you can yell a few times."

Mu Nanshu understood Lu Cheng very well at this moment, because she also felt a little uncomfortable.

First, land is like cargo; it can be lost at any time.

Secondly, Lu Cheng wanted to stay at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, but Professor Lan from Zhongnan Hospital managed to dig him away like an eel.

Lu Cheng ultimately didn't shout anything. He looked at Mu Nanshu and said, "It's alright...it's alright."

“There are other ways,” Lu Cheng said to Mu Nanshu.

Mu Nanshu leaned closer to Lu Cheng and whispered, "Don't think too much. Focus on your studies and learn the technology."

"Professor Lan did this because he cared about you, which is why he went through the old professor's belongings... There might be some misunderstanding here..."

“If Zhongnan Hospital wants you, you can go. Didn’t you say that Professor Nalan is also a very excellent professor?”

"As Professor Zhong just mentioned, Professor Dong was a senior and a hero who saved lives. This was his last wish, and Professor Zhong had no choice in the matter."

“Lu Cheng, calm down a little, yes, calm down even more.”

After Mu Nanshu finished speaking, tears started streaming down her face: "We can only try to be more peaceful and be as resilient as cockroaches."

"Um……"

Lu Cheng was silent for a moment before saying, "I don't have the recording of the interrogation from back then. But I can find the original information from the email address!"

When did Professor Dong pass away? I sent him an email in November 2018, which was five months after I finished my residency training.

Lu Cheng then opened his email and carefully checked the timeline.

Even though Lu Cheng looked at it and found it, it was useless.
