Chapter 656 - 327: Preparing to Ask for Directions

Lu Cheng listened, and his heart warmed.

Professor Xie is also a good teacher and elder, although he might have some connection with Xie Yuan'an, Lu Cheng said, "Teacher Xie, what I mean is, just to get the clinical work started."

"Even though Xiangzhou People's Hospital doesn't have many patients, it's ideal for meticulous work. Suitable for early-stage research projects."

"Of course, my current identity and geographical position are quite troublesome."

After all, Xiang Province and E Province are across provincial borders, and Lu Cheng worried no one would be willing to come.

Even if he wanted to make deals with others, no one was willing to take on the task.

In reality, Lu Cheng was overthinking. If the projects he proposed were just small-scale, given his identity, no one would be willing to play along.

For such large-scale projects, there are still people willing to collaborate.

Xie Xiao said, "Lu Cheng, as we chat, let's tear things open and speak directly."

"Actually, what you're trying to do now is to make a transaction, right? Using your own assignment of research projects in exchange for others' help."

"It's essentially a disguised employment relationship, isn't it?"

In essence, many collaborations are merely bartering.

The straightforwardness of Professor Xie Xiao stirred something within Lu Cheng: "Teacher Xie, it can indeed be understood this way."

Although Lu Cheng didn't know what he could rely on, since things have developed to this point, he had to face problems and resolve them.

"Now that you have ideas and goals, you're not a headless fly anymore."

"Negotiating a transaction is merely a matter of chips."

"You need to calculate your bottom line, how these projects belong, and how the papers are arranged."

"How will subsequent projects be participated in? Who can follow up, who will finish and leave, just as a temporary worker?"

"For all this, you should have a clear stance in your heart, say the harsh words up front to avoid misunderstandings later and consequent resentment!"

"Moreover, since this is a transaction, it should benefit both sides."

"You have what I need, I take what you have."

"You're already thirty, you can't still be shouting empty slogans about promoting the development of human health careers, right?" Xie Xiao pointed out bluntly.

Parental love is without reason; other love has its reasons.

Actually, parental love also has reasons; you are their child.

Such principles are ubiquitous in society.

"I'm not familiar with the emergency trauma center, so I'm not aware of who needs what, and I can't promptly respond to you."

"But given your current urgency, your needs arise quickly and need swift solutions, so there's no time to inquire carefully."

"So, these things, you need to clarify directly with Director Zhao!"

In Union Hospital, the emergency department and trauma center are separate; Lu Cheng would certainly be joining the trauma center.

Hence, to ask for help, it adheres to the rules to reach out to the trauma center.

Lu Cheng isn't hoping for something for nothing but is genuinely holding results to ask for help. Although his status is a bit lower, the value of the outcomes he's holding forms his bargaining chip.

"Hmm, okay, Teacher Xie." Lu Cheng appreciated that Xie Xiao helped him sort out these thoughts.

"There's really nothing else!"

"What you're doing used to be strictly top-down orders; what you're doing now, I don't have experience with it, and I don't know how to specifically advise you."

"How Director Zhao sees you, I also find it hard to predict," said Xie Xiao.

"Thank you, Teacher Xie," Lu Cheng replied.

Xie Xiao continued, "However, before you do these things, you should first clarify it with your unit and let them follow the procedures."

"You can't be careless; otherwise, when you've made it clear to us, your hospital might trip you up, leaving you embarrassed."

"Even though I know you might be confident, you must ask thoroughly."

"Get to the bottom of it, whether you can do it!!!!!!"

"Don't fear trouble."

"This is very important."

Xie Xiao's reminder, Lu Cheng had also noted, his call to Xie Xiao actually had an intention of consultation.

Lu Cheng felt that the things he needed to do were somewhat unconventional, yet he had no choice but to do them, so asking others was beneficial.

...

Among the people Lu Cheng could turn to at his hospital was Vice-Dean Yao Xin.

Upon hearing Lu Cheng's words, Vice-Dean Yao Xin immediately felt a tingling sensation in his scalp. "Lu Cheng, do you know what you're saying?"

Lu Cheng said, "Yes, you heard it right, Dean Yao, I am very calm now."

Gulp!

"Where are you?" Yao Xin swallowed and still felt that what had just been said was a bit much.

I damn well hit your mom.

Our Xiangzhou People's Hospital, to invite a professor from Xiangya Hospital to perform surgery, the director has to treat them with great care.

That's merely one or two consultation surgeries that we have to treat with great care.

This is seeking help!!!

Those are professors from a higher hospital, not technicians; when I pay, I'm the master, I'm here to enjoy.

Inviting a fly-in surgeon is paying to be a servant!!

Lu Cheng just said he wants to invite a group of professors and associate professors to the emergency department of State People's Hospital to work on research projects together.

I'm going to invite some experts from the math field to hold a math forum at our high school, Principal? Can you agree?

Listen, listen.

Is this human speech?

Are you trying to overturn the hospital?

Although Yao Xin is a vice-dean with some social status in Xiangzhou, outside of State People's Hospital, he's just that big of a deal in Xiangzhou?

When in Sha City, people who know you call you Dean Yao; those who don't call you a fool. Can you bite them or what?

Outside Xiang Province, who the hell knows who the vice-dean of a prefecture-level hospital is?
