Chapter 755 - 375: Holding an Honorary Title at Two Academies

So he didn't get angry because Lu Cheng's attitude was bad.

Xiang Kun: "Director Lu, may I ask? Can't someone else pick up the professor you're supposed to meet?"

"Or should I call someone from the medical department to pick him up instead, would that show more respect?"

"What position does this professor hold?"

Lu Cheng's steps paused slightly, he knew Xiang Kun was in administration, so he cared about administrative reception, which also appeared in the sections he was responsible for.

Lu Cheng said: "Teacher Gu from Huashan Hospital currently doesn't hold an administrative position, but he's affiliated with two academies."

"Dean Xiang, are you sure you want to go pick him up yourself?"

"If you really want to go, then I won't go, alright..."

Xiang Kun's head felt like it had been hit with a bat.

"Which two academies are they?"

"Certainly not the psychiatric hospital and rural health clinic."

Lu Cheng continued: "Dean Xiang, this time Professor Gu is here only for academic business, there's no need for the hospital to go to great lengths to host him."

"Thank you." With that, Lu Cheng made a hand gesture and hurried out the door.

While grabbing his phone: "Dai Linfang, is the car here yet? We're about to head out now, there's a possibility of traffic on the way to Zhang City."

"We need to consider this timing as well..."

Xiang Kun and Dong Dao watched Lu Cheng get into the elevator, then exchanged a glance.

Xiang Kun's tongue seemed tied, speaking unclearly: "Could it actually be those two academies?"

For academicians traveling for public business, if they actually came to a regional city, they'd receive treatment at the vice-provincial or even provincial ministerial level.

If it really came to that, Xiangzhou would have to step in directly.

If that's the case, Xiangzhou People's Hospital should have received a notice one month earlier to make preparations.

But now, Xiang Kun was still in the dark about it.

Dong Dao's mind was also buzzing, blankly saying: "I don't know either..."

"How could he bring such figures to Xiangzhou?"

"Uncle, can we still manage this, dare manage this in the future?"

"Manage?" Xiang Kun's eyes sharpened.

"Did you forget last month's incident? How will you manage?"

"Where is his profile now? Do you dare to check it?"

Dong Dao sighed: "Therefore, previously in the oncology department, Xiao Dai was really farsighted."

"It's just unfortunate for Xiao Ning!"

"Originally, Lu Cheng was identified by Ning Hongxian of the gastrointestinal surgery as a person to bring in."

"Ning Hongxian of the gastrointestinal surgery asked Dai Linfang to meet Lu Cheng in advance, but Dai Linfang just act thoughtlessly and directly kicked Ning Hongxian out..."

Xiang Kun sighed heavily: "The timing has passed, it's difficult to turn back."

"A few months ago, our hospital's group of attending physicians was trying to block Lu Cheng's promotion, and now I find it a bit funny."

"You strive to be excellent, leave the rest to society, this phrase truly embodies in Lu Cheng."

"This matter can only be discussed slowly."

Dong Dao speculated: "Uncle, if a few months ago, our actions succeeded, what would things be like now?"

Xiang Kun tapped Dong Dao's right temple: "Inappropriate virtue will surely bring harm."

"What are you thinking about every day?"

...

In the parking lot, Lu Cheng pulled Zhang Tiesheng, who had just arrived from Long County to Ji City, into the backseat.

"Brother Zhang, let me introduce you, this is Dr. Dai." Lu Cheng actively introduced Zhang Tiesheng.

Zhang Tiesheng hurriedly made a gesture: "Dr. Dai, hello, we've had phone contact before, my apologies, please forgive me."

Dai Linfang said: "Brother Zhang, Brother Lu has mentioned you many times to me before, I've always been in admiration."

"Unfortunately, we never had the chance to meet."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tiesheng turned his head, feigning annoyance: "Lu Cheng, you're meddling in my affairs."

"How could you not timely notify me when Dr. Dai wanted to meet me?"

"Dr. Dai, my tongue coating is still very prominent, can I lick you comfortably?"

Dai Linfang was left dumbfounded by Zhang Tiesheng.

Zhang Tiesheng's low threshold for tact left him unsure how to respond.

Lu Cheng realized Zhang Tiesheng and Dai Linfang were evenly matched, so he said: "Brother Zhang, you believe what he says?"

"You might as well believe I'm Emperor Qin."

"Today, I want you, Brother Zhang, to help me pick up an esteemed guest, you have to support me well."

Zhang Tiesheng chuckled: "I believe you're Emperor Qin, and I believe Dr. Dai as well."

"There's no conflict."

"To receive someone, I'll try my best, ensure they're arranged comfortably."

"How old is the person?" Zhang Tiesheng said while pulling out his phone, attempting to find some special notes in the contacts.

Lu Cheng chuckled mischievously: "Quite young, only in the age of eighties."

Zhang Tiesheng was about to press the voice button to start talking but immediately canceled the voice input.

"You're playing with me?"

Obviously, an eighty-something boy wouldn't fit into his plans for arrangement and reception.

"Truly eighty-something, from Shanghai."

"An elder professor."

Lu Cheng's tone was serious: "If I was joking with you, why would I bring you along?"

"Later, where will I find someone over eighty to act for you?"

Zhang Tiesheng put down his phone: "The dining and hotel arrangements are surely settled, I won't say much."

"I truly can't arrange this, if he were thirty-something, I could still read the situation and make some observations."

Dai Linfang said: "You have to come, Brother Zhang, Brother Lu always said you're good at this."

"You come to show us how, it'd be good to learn, you can't hide your skills, right?"

Zhang Tiesheng's expression immediately turned serious.

Although he joined the research team, he knew he was currently a big slacker.

A big slacker can't be entirely useless, right?

Dai Linfang wasn't Lu Cheng, this was his first encounter with Dai Linfang!

Zhang Tiesheng quickly asked: "Xiao Lu, does this elderly professor have any dietary preferences?"

"Thankfully, he visited last time!~ "

"A preference for lighter flavors will do." Lu Cheng replied.

Zhang Tiesheng breathed a sigh of relief: "If he has visited before, that makes it easier to host, just follow the previous procedures, won't go wrong easily."

"Pick some Sha City cuisine that includes stir fry."

"For hotels, just choose the best available."

"Arranging entertainment for an eighty-something professor is difficult."

"He doesn't hold any administrative positions anymore, right?" Zhang Tiesheng asked again.

"Not anymore, now aside from being an academician, seems he's not even a group leader, just does clinics and research..."

"Professor Gu, during Lu Cheng's explanation... "

Zhang Tiesheng started patting the car door: "Dr. Dai, please stop, I need to get off."

"I can't ride in this car, I'm not going..."

Zhang Tiesheng's head was buzzing.

His first day in the team in Ji City, what was the first thing he did?

Lu Cheng playfully said: "Brother Zhang, we're already in the car, the door was welded shut long ago, you can't get off."

After a round of patting, naturally, Dai Linfang wouldn't really stop the car.

Zhang Tiesheng's hand started trembling, he didn't even bother to ask if Lu Cheng and others smoked, just lit one for himself.

Fumbling with his speech and expression: "Lu Cheng, this is just a joke, right?"

"Brother Zhang, it's not a joke."

"In the future, you'll be responsible for this, other team members aren't skilled in it." Lu Cheng shook his head.

"You've already agreed, even to refuse, you'd have to work for a month before you can 'resign'."

Zhang Tiesheng nearly cried: "Brother, Lu Cheng, don't mess with me, I'm as innocent as a child..."

If asked about expert professors or directors from top hospitals, Zhang Tiesheng could mimic and inquire about reception arrangements.

An academician?

Zhang Tiesheng had only seen them on television his whole life.

He even had to lead the reception.

This is pushing him to desperation, only able to stutter out some unmentionable things?

"Brother Zhang, you don't know, neither do we, but when people come, we'd have to gather courage and receive them."

"Quality aside, first arrange the dining and accommodation."

"For the rest, we'll adapt and improvise together..."

"In the evening, Professor Xie Xiao will come." Lu Cheng said.

"That's good, that's good." Zhang Tiesheng suddenly felt like he found his mainstay.

He knew Professor Xie Xiao, the father of Xie Yuan'an, was a hand surgery professor at Union Hospital and an upper-class figure.

For him, Zhang Tiesheng, a mere deputy chief physician at Long County People's Hospital, that's worth nothing.
