"Tian Duoduo, I'm heading to check the wards first. Make sure to tick everything off, including the internal dicine group," Lu Cheng waved distantly at Tian Duoduo.
Since Tian Duoduo volunteered, might as well let her handle so work.
Tian Duoduo saw Lu Cheng passing the task onto her and was both amused and exasperated, "You're really just going to be a hands-off boss?"
Yao Lina, who was older than Tian Duoduo, nudged her and said, "Dr. Lu letting you do things ans he cares about you. Don't be clueless."
Tian Duoduo turned her head, "I don't believe it. Lu Cheng's girlfriend is really pretty and has a great figure."
Yao Lina glanced at Tian Duoduo's figure and said, "Her figure is better than yours?"
Tian Duoduo sighed, "Actually, I'm too skinny. If I were a guy, I'd prefer her type too."
"You've really done your howork," Yao Lina said, feeling a bit helpless.
Lu Cheng's girlfriend, a returned overseas Ph.D., childhood sweetheart, beautiful, rich and privileged—buff's maxed out.
Even her figure isn't any less striking than Tian Duoduo's, so Tian Duoduo really has no chance.
Unless Lu Cheng wants to flirt on the side.
Li Guofang quietly asked, "Sister Duoduo, I heard that when Dr. Lu first ca to our departnt, he wasn't back together with his girlfriend."
"Back then, was there a chance?"
Tian Duoduo was already feeling complicated, and hearing the naive Li Guofang being so oblivious, she glanced at her and said impatiently, "You better get out more, you might end up liking chubby ones."
"What do you want to order, Lu Cheng's treating, so let's make him pay dearly."
Tian Duoduo's mind was a bit muddled, she also knew that Lu Cheng was single when he first arrived, otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to that blind date.
If she had been more proactive back then, maybe there would've been a chance…
October 28th, Wednesday, 4 p.m., before Lu Cheng's night shift.
In the kitchen of Lu Cheng's ho in Gaojia Slope District.
Lu Cheng raised his drink cup and said apologetically, "Uncle Wei, Director Du, it's a busy season at our hospital, and I have an ergency room night shift, so I absolutely can't drink alcohol today."
There were quite a few people present, besides Uncle Wei and Director Du Qiang, there was also Lu Cheng's uncle, Lu Nanyong.
"Isn't your Director Du here? If anything happens, he can cover for you," Lu Nanyong joked.
Du Qiang waved his hand, "No, no. In this climate, who dares to take risks? It's about the bigger picture, let's definitely not drink and ss things up."
"As long as intentions are clear, that's enough."
"Co on, let's all have a drink together, in the end, there are still many brothers around," Du Qiang invited everyone to have a drink together.
His mother, Tian Hui, who never drank, also took a beer today.
After a drink, Du Qiang knocked on the table and said, "Lu Cheng, I'm here to make a stance."
"In the upcoming period, don't bla your Uncle Du for being tough on you."
Lu Cheng's smile froze instantly.
Lu Cheng knew full well what kind of shrewd person Du Qiang was, so why would Du Qiang make a move on him?
What's the reason behind this?
"Director Du? What do you an by this?"
"I'm still young!~" Lu Cheng asked, confused.
Du Qiang said, "Basically, it's to push you out of the hospital. Otherwise, you'd definitely beco a benchmark in the county hospital, and the county wouldn't want to let you go."
"Although the state can draft people, the county people's hospital is a grassroots unit. When they encounter talent, they don't have to let them go."
"It's both an advantage and a disadvantage of the autonomous prefecture."
Lu Cheng furrowed his brows instantly.
Xiangxi is indeed an autonomous prefecture. Rumor has it that the taxes here don't flow out, they're self-retained, and there's a governnt grant.
Lu Cheng couldn't tell whether this was true or not.
"Uncle Du, it shouldn't be that serious, right?" Lu Cheng replied.
"It wasn't supposed to be, but now there's sothing going on, and they need sowhere else to take the heat, so now it is."
"Let put it this way, right now, every move our hospital makes is under the watch of the inspection team."
"Of course, they're also fully aware of your outstanding achievents."
"If the county hospital wins a provincial first prize, and it's well leveraged, it would be quite newsworthy nationwide."
"After all, grabbing attention is significant, and for health managent departnts, this is tangible evidence."
"The main thing is you have a good background. Since completing your training, you've worked at our hospital the whole ti. This kind of profile is more comforting than sothing fabricated."
"Of course, the county hospital doesn't absolutely need to keep you to achieve this political score."
"You don't need to know much about the details here, but anyway, I, along with your dad, and in front of your uncle, have already settled this."
"You saved my brother-in-law's life, and another ti, you saved my nephew. As your uncle, no matter what, I have to return the favor."
"It should be possible for you to be safely transferred to work in the state," Du Qiang didn't completely commit.
Lu Cheng hadn't thought much about it before. He figured that even if he left, Long County People's Hospital wouldn't miss him as an attending physician.
Lu Cheng had never considered that after winning an award, he might find it hard to leave.
However, on further thought, it did make sense.
Long County is already a remote county, located far away, economically undeveloped, and upper-level units have always been sending talent here, not forcibly taking them away.
Even the state-level selection exams can be countered by the county "pleading," allowing them to keep Lu Cheng, citing all kinds of difficulties in Long County.
