"Mom, I've started cooking the rice and already cut the at, which I've put in the fridge. You can fry it yourself when you co back..."
"I'll ssage you after picking up Nanshu to let you know if I'll co back to eat." Lu Cheng texted Tian Hui as he drove off to Zhang City.
"I'll cook myself when I'm back, just rest well, okay?" Tian Hui replied with a hint of complaint, knowing Lu Cheng had a night shift yesterday.
"The ER wasn't busy yesterday, I just dozed off in the consultation room. And I bought you a box of soda water, rember to drink it."
"There's almost no room left at ho." Lu Cheng sent the ssage and started the engine to head off.
Tian Hui's voice ssage ca back: "You haven't finished the ones you bought earlier, why did you get more? The water you ntioned doesn't taste good, it's a bit sweet."
"Sweet or not, the doctor said during your last check-up that you have chronic gastritis, you need to take dicine slow and nourish it gradually."
"Drinking slightly alkaline water is good. Rember to have breakfast in the morning, can't let your health go downhill, I'll be relying on you to babysit for soday..."
"When will that be?" Tian Hui perked up at the ntion.
Lu Cheng didn't reply, partly because he was already on the road, and partly because he wasn't sure about it himself.
...
At four in the afternoon, Lu Cheng joined the highway again near Lotus Airport in Zhang City.
Mu Nanshu glanced at Lu Cheng: "Didn't bring you any bread, planning to stay hungry, huh?"
Lu Cheng replied with a smile: "There are three hotpots in Zhang City that I was planning to take you to try."
"How was your trip to Yu Province this ti?"
Lu Cheng had only heard of Cosmic First Hospital, never seen it.
"Just so-so, the weather there is very dry. Not very adaptable, didn't bring any local specialties back."
"Do you have any plans later? My dad said if you don't have plans, he could call you directly to Ji City."
Lu Cheng paused after hearing this: "Professor Tong Yuan'an called this morning, asked to visit him in the afternoon."
"But it can wait."
Lu Cheng wasn't playing any tricks with Mu Nanshu, mainly unsure if Uncle Mu Leng's call had urgent matters.
The ER night shifts are very irregular, so there's always a day off after a night shift.
"Then let's find another ti, my dad and the others will be back around the 20th."
Mu Nanshu adjusted the seatbelt: "I tried contacting Zhang Xibei last night, he's hesitant after hearing about our situation, mainly thinks our team is too weak."
Lu Cheng glanced at Mu Nanshu: "Professor Tong Yuan'an from Xiangya Hospital leading, and that's weak?"
"Professor Tong isn't well-known in the research field; the team Zhang Xibei was part of before was much larger than Tong's."
"Even compared to Professor Tan's research team at Xiangya Hospital, it's about the sa."
After explaining, Mu Nanshu continued: "But he didn't explicitly refuse, the climate in Ning Province is even worse, Dr. Zhang seems to want to develop in the south."
"If there's a chance, we could visit him, he's currently a general surgery doctor and you might have so common language."
Lu Cheng jokingly said: "You invite to Ning Province, are you sure it's just to visit, not to bring back local specialties?"
"What local specialties?" Mu Nanshu didn't catch on imdiately.
Lu Cheng replied: "Goji berries."
Unexpectedly, Mu Nanshu didn't blush, instead, after a mont of silence, she generously said: "If you have a personal issue, I can go with you to see."
Lu Cheng was instantly defeated; he was certain that this Mu Nanshu, compared to the past, had matured too much.
She not only specialized in the research field but also held her ground while interacting with people like Professor Chen Song, having developed her own distinctive style.
...
At an open-air barbecue stall near Youshui River in Long County, the autumn wind breezing gently. Lights warm and bright.
Lu Cheng and Tong Yuan'an each had four bottles of beer placed in front of them! Lu Cheng used a bottle opener to open the beer.
Mu Nanshu took a bottle of soda water, sipping slowly, then said: "Professor Tong, what do you think of my proposal just now?"
"A surgical technique is only considered a technique if it can be promoted, otherwise it's just personal operation and talent."
"If Lu Cheng were to personally perform surgery, the published data would be unreproducible by others."
"But when a beginner performs at a moderate skill level, it can be replicated by other peers, making it more convincing."
Tong Yuan'an's chubby face was tightly furrowed, his gaze flicking across Mu Nanshu, deanor subtle, without response.
Mu Nanshu continued: "Of course, Professor Tong, if it's inconvenient for you to call soone, I can arrange soone to co, which wouldn't affect the overall progress of the experint."
"Actually, if it's about learning the operation, people could be called from Xiangzhou People's Hospital as well. Just a little bit more ti-consuming."
Mu Nanshu's voice wasn't loud, but her tone carried a sowhat compelling spirit.
She wasn't just asking Tong Yuan'an to bring so postgraduates from Xiangya Hospital to assist, but also to arrange funding.
She's also offering a way out, suggesting that if he lacks money or manpower, she could organize it all.
The implied ssage is that he might not need to do anything, Mu Nanshu can plan the entire project ticulously.
However, to ensure the project is more convincing, initial data shouldn't be set too high, to avoid the possibility of others failing to replicate the data presented in the paper when repeating the project.
