When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chapter 232: Chapter 233: Jing Ran’s Invitation

After completing all the onboarding processes today, Jing Ran finally reported to the director in his department. Upon leaving the hospital, he felt an intense soreness throughout his body.

Every part of him was aching.

Where should he go for lunch?

He might as well find a random place to make do.

After all, Geng Yan certainly wouldn’t feed him the food she made at home, not even to a dog.

Thinking about this, Jing Ran couldn’t help but sigh.

Sigh…

If only he had listened to Doctor Chen earlier.

Now Jing Ran suddenly felt that higher education had some deficiencies and flaws.

Especially in the teaching work of PhDs and postdocs, they should add some new courses, like “How to Interact with Girls,” “How to Be an Outstanding Husband,” “How to Make a Girl Happy,” “How to Get Along with Your Mother-in-law”…

After all, everyone is getting older and has been stuck in school for so long without the time to interact with girls, lacking experience in communication with the opposite sex.

Considering this, Jing Ran suddenly thought this was a research area with great potential!

After all, there were many people like him around.

But he still considered himself lucky to have met Geng Yan.

He thought that Chen Cang must have at least a postdoctoral degree in this field!

Recalling Doctor Chen’s sincere advice to take care the day before, Jing Ran suddenly felt this must be a person with stories and experience; perhaps he should communicate more with Doctor Chen.

They say professionals in the same field are natural rivals, and those who specialize in thoracic surgery will surely harbor suspicions.

But Jing Ran never thought that way; he believed that a good partner was the key to success.

His goal was not just to be a carefree department head at Dongyang No.1 Hospital; he needed a platform that could grow strong and large, to build an excellent thoracic surgery team.

However… after his return, there were mixed outcomes, and the downside became apparent—he lacked a strong collaborative partner.

And Chen Cang was actually quite good: young, capable, and kind-hearted.

Considering this, he suddenly decided to invite Chen Cang to have a meal together.

Since he was new and didn’t have any friends yet, Chen Cang seemed like a good choice.

Noble, genuine!

Without too many petty thoughts, he should be able to forge a deep friendship.

Thinking this, Jing Ran picked up his phone and dialed Chen Cang’s number.

Chen Cang, who had just woken up, felt a bit unsettled upon seeing Jing Ran’s call. What if… it was Geng Yan calling to settle scores with him? What now?

Exactly! If it were Geng Yan, he would say he called the wrong number!

With that thought, Chen Cang answered the call but didn’t speak: “…”

Seeing the call connected, Jing Ran quickly said, “Doctor Chen, do you have time? Let’s have lunch together at noon?”

Chen Cang was somewhat puzzled, “Just you and me?”

Jing Ran sighed and gave a sheepish smile, “Yeah, I didn’t take your advice yesterday and sent a picture to my wife. I guess I won’t be eating well for a while…”

Chen Cang assured him that he was not taking pleasure in his misfortune, “All right, I’ll treat you. Doctor Jing, you’ve just arrived in Dongyang and are not familiar with it. Let’s meet at Tianjie street.”

For some reason, Chen Cang felt a twinge of sympathy for Jing Ran.

In the heat of the summer, Chen Cang took Jing Ran to a specialty hotpot restaurant.

The two ate with gusto.

And they had an equally lively conversation!

In their interaction, Chen Cang suddenly found that Jing Ran was quite a good person, probably because his long academic career spared him from the greasiness that some in the hospital possess.

Instead, he was very straightforward, almost to the point of innocence!

After the meal, Jing Ran looked at Chen Cang sincerely: “Doctor Chen, I feel like we’re on the same wavelength.”

Chen Cang paused, hesitated for a while, and looked at Jing Ran with something unsaid: Doctor Jing, I actually have been there before…

Seeing that Chen Cang remained silent, Jing Ran straightforwardly asserted, “Really!”

“I’m returning to Dongyang, and what I want to do is definitely not just become a simple director; I want to build a thoracic surgery base in Dongyang and assemble a team… I hope I can invite you to join us!”

Chen Cang was startled, “This… Dr. Jing, who else is in the team?”

Jing Ran’s face turned red, and he gave an embarrassed smile, “Right now, it’s only me, but in the future, it’ll be me and you.”

Chen Cang smiled, “No rush, I’m doing pretty well at the Provincial Second Hospital. However, Dr. Jing, if you need help in the future you can call me, just as I hope Dr. Jing can lend a hand if I encounter any insurmountable problems!”

Jing Ran nodded, “I will!”

The meal took two hours, and both of them drank two bottles of beer.

Chen Cang had thought Jing Ran could hold his liquor since it was he who had first suggested it, but it turned out after just a couple of sips he was already choking a bit.

Jing Ran said embarrassedly, “I rarely drink. Today, I felt like it was fitting to drink some since I hit it off so well with Dr. Chen.”

Chen Cang immediately laughed; Dr. Jing was indeed a man of true character.

But after two bottles, Jing Ran quickly shook his head, signaling that he was dizzy and couldn’t drink any more.

After sending Jing Ran off in his car, Chen Cang suddenly felt a bit uneasy.

After all… It seemed that Geng Yan also didn’t like to drink.

Shaking his head, Chen Cang thought that it must be that Geng Yan didn’t like him drinking!

That’s right!

Jing Ran was in a particularly good mood today, humming a tune along with Chen Cang, which certainly made him feel a lot better.

Planning to have a good sleep at noon, Jing Ran had just opened his door when he saw Geng Yan standing at the entrance, her face ashen, arms crossed over her chest, and a malevolent look in her eyes.

Seeing Jing Ran reeking of hotpot and booze, she was momentarily stunned!

Geng Yan gave a fierce sniff and immediately flew into a rage!

“Look at you, Jing Ran, acting all impressive, knowing I wouldn’t feed you so you went out to fool around!”

“And you went drinking, huh?”

“Aye, let’s see how capable you are.”

“And here I was, willing to forgive you for your first offense, even came back early to cook you something nice, but lo and behold, aren’t you something, Jing Ran!”

“Tell me, who were you with?”

Jing Ran was suddenly at a loss for words.

“I…”

Geng Yan’s face changed, “What do you mean, ‘I’!”

Jing Ran, “Chen…”

Geng Yan interrupted, “Chen what Chen!”

…

…

On Friday morning during the shift change, Li Baoshan shared some news with everyone, the Emergency Department’s surgical room finally had all its microsurgical equipment.

“We will gradually start diagnosing and operating on hand trauma soon. Xiaochen, you are now the main force. Work well with Director An and do a good job on the hand surgeries,” he said.

Chen Cang nodded and agreed.

This made everyone in the department curious.

Where exactly did Chen Cang learn to operate in hand surgery?

No sooner had Chen Cang agreed than the system prompt sounded.

[Ding! The journey of hand surgery: Complete 500 tendon sutures and receive a copy of the Tendon Rehabilitation Guide.]

Chen Cang was taken aback and couldn’t help but laugh.

Because when he opened the long-term mission option, he saw that completing 500 surgeries could achieve a clinical minor goal.

This was also the small goal Qian Lin had set for him to surpass Jing Ran.

Chen Cang couldn’t help but laugh at this.
