Chapter 101 Research Doctor! ~ (Tenth update, bonus chapter for 500 first subscriptions)

9 month 15 day.

In a laboratory of the Department of Gastroenterology at Peking Union Medical College Hospital in Wuhan.

As Dong Chang walked out of the office, she ran into Mu Nanshu, who was wearing a mask, and immediately waved in surprise: "Xiao Mu, what are you doing here?"

"You're not?" Dong Chang asked, then realized what she meant and said with a smile, "You're not satisfied with this blind date again?"

Looking at the kind-faced Professor Dong Chang, Mu Nanshu politely replied, "Professor Dong, I do have a boyfriend. It was Professor Chen who misunderstood and took the initiative to introduce him to me."

"She made all the arrangements, so of course I met with her, explained things, and we even had a meal together. Who knows, we might even become research partners in the future."

Dong Chang is about sixty years old, with a slender and tall figure. He wears gold-rimmed glasses. Although his face is covered with the marks of time, his bone structure is perfect and his complexion is still charming.

As a professor in the Department of Gastroenterology and the academic leader of the department, Professor Dong Chang's professional and academic abilities are among the best in the country.

The Professor Chen that Mu Nanshu mentioned is another full professor in Professor Dong Chang's research group, and he is also a very enthusiastic professor.

Dong Chang put her hands behind her back, gesturing for Mu Nanshu to walk with her, and said, "Since you already have a boyfriend, then Chen Bailu is just playing matchmaker."

“I remember you said you had a boyfriend. In the afternoon, Chen Bailu said you went on a blind date. I almost thought I had amnesia.”

"Remember to let me know whenever you have something good to share..."

Mu Nanshu is not young anymore. She has graduated and is working, so her wedding date is probably coming soon.

Mu Nanshu smiled naturally: "I will definitely inform you in person, Teacher Dong! I will also send you wedding candy in advance."

Dong Chang laughed and said, "Although I can't eat too much candy now, I still have to have one of your wedding candies, Xiao Mu."

"By the way, if there's an opportunity, could you introduce me? If the person is truly outstanding, well, our Peking Union Medical College Hospital has quite a strong platform..."

Dong Chang started trying to win people over as soon as he opened his mouth.

In her opinion, the young man who caught Mu Nanshu's eye must also be the 'darling' of a certain specialty in another hospital!

No matter where your beloved child is, Peking Union Medical College Hospital wouldn't mind having dozens more young talents.

Mu Nanshu also said, "Okay, Teacher Dong, I will definitely treat you to a meal when I have the chance, and I may need you to say a few good words for me then."

"However, it's not easy for him to be transferred to another job for the time being."

"Oh, right, Professor Dong, I might not be able to find the time to work on the projects that Professor Chen assigned to me. I already had a research plan for after I started working during my doctoral studies, and I need to find time to improve the preliminary experiments."

“But Professor Chen keeps asking me to continue the research project she gave me… which puts me in a bit of a dilemma,” Mu Nanshu said.

Dong Chang looked at Mu Nanshu carefully, then led Mu Nanshu into the office and said, "Xiao Mu, you are now a full-time researcher, although I can understand that you want to become a clinician."

“But there’s no rush for this. You should lay a solid foundation this year first, and start your residency training after you finish writing the tender documents next year.”

"It's quite a leap for you to jump directly into clinical research now."

"The research topic Chen Bailu gave you is quite complex."

Mu Nanshu said, "Professor Dong, I understand Professor Chen's high expectations, but I already have my own plans and have invested a lot of time in them."

"There are still many doctoral students in the research group waiting for research grants..."

Dong Chang said, "But they might not be able to win. In our group, you're currently the one who's most familiar with this area."

"Professor Chen's doctoral studies have been progressing slowly for two years. Chen Bailu herself is unable to be present in person, so entrusting the project to you is the only way to get it officially launched."

"Xiao Mu, the capable should do more, so don't refuse."

"Chen Bailu and I have both studied this topic carefully before entrusting it to you."

“Although you have your own ideas, and I agree that they are feasible, it will take a long time to put them into practice.” “Aren’t you in a hurry?” Dong Chang’s gaze roamed over Mu Nanshu, as if trying to see through her long dress and into her heart.

Mu Nanshu placed her hands on her stomach and said earnestly, "Professor Dong, I think I'm still a little anxious. I've wanted to do this research for a very, very long time..."

Dong Chang's expression stiffened slightly. Although his appearance remained refined, there was a hint of displeasure: "You? An internist? You've wanted to do orthopedic research for a very, very, very long time?"

"Isn't this lie a bit absurd?"

Mu Nanshu's expression remained unchanged as he said, "It has been many years. I thought about it when I was an undergraduate."

Dong Chang fell silent...

"Professor Mu, Professor Dong seems a bit unhappy today. Are you sure there won't be any problems with your choice?" Dr. Su Xiaoxiao, who was following Mu Nanshu, glanced at Dong Chang's expression as she left and approached Mu Nanshu with a somewhat trembling tone.

Mu Nanshu was organizing the documents on her desk. As the newly recruited technical supervisor of the laboratory, Mu Nanshu held a fairly high position within the research group.

"Then I should choose the same option?"

Su Xiaoxiao was petite, about 1.54 meters tall, with a small face and big, bright eyes, full of curiosity: "Teacher Mu, your boyfriend is so lucky."

"Not only does he have a girlfriend as beautiful as you, but you also go to such lengths to arrange articles for him."

"Could it be some junior disciple?"

Su Xiaoxiao had also heard that top researchers raise 'puppy dogs'!
Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about.

"Is tomorrow's project progress report ready? Have you finished the PPT presentation draft for the reading articles?" Mu Nanshu paused, glaring at Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao immediately lowered her head: "Teacher Mu, I was wrong, I will correct it right away."

Just like in the operating room, gossip is allowed in the laboratory; otherwise, the boring atmosphere in the laboratory would be impossible to dispel.

Su Xiaoxiao continued, "But quite a few teachers are actually quite curious about your boyfriend, Teacher Mu. Some people even say that you made up a character on purpose and that you don't actually have a boyfriend."

"What did they give you? Tell me quickly, was it milk tea or hot pot? How many meals?" Mu Nanshu immediately stretched out his hand, wanting to divide the spoils.

Su Xiaoxiao playfully made a cross with her hands.

"Then I'll take 30%, and I'll start paying it out tomorrow."

Mu Nanshu made a three with her fingers and then said, "It's not fake, it's real. And it's my elementary school classmate, junior high school classmate, high school classmate, and almost college classmate."

"Huh? Childhood sweethearts?" Su Xiaoxiao's eyes widened.

Mu Nanshu thought about it carefully: "I wouldn't say that, we were already ten years old when we met..."

"Then why hasn't he come to see you for so long? Professor Mu, you're almost always in the lab, are you two in a long-distance relationship?"

Su Xiaoxiao continued, "It's a bit much to call it a long-distance relationship!"

"Whoosh!" Mu Nanshu's phone flashed with a WeChat message.

Mu Nan took the book and glanced at it; her expression changed slightly.

Then Mu Nanshu stood up: "Could you print out today's schedule for me and put it in a folder later? There are still some unfinished matters in there that I need to deal with tomorrow."

Su Xiaoxiao asked in confusion, "Teacher Mu? Are you leaving?"

It's only 10 PM now, but Mu Nanshu usually doesn't get back until 1 AM. Weekends are no exception.

“Yes!” Mu Nanshu smiled, her peach blossom eyes narrowing into slits, just like seven or eight years ago when she received the news that the train had arrived at Jiaxing Station.
