System Came When the Doctor was Thirty

Chapter 435: Chapter 235: Dai Linfang Himself! (Part 2)

At first glance, Dai Linfang doesn’t seem like a bad person. He’s just a somewhat psychologically warped person with connections; he’s too eager to advance.

Lu Cheng looked at Dai Linfang seriously: "Brother Dai, there’s really no need for this."

"There is."

"Brother Lu, don’t you get it yourself? These projects can absolutely change your fate."

"And if I can get in, I can change my fate too. I don’t want to just get by doing nothing!~"

"Really, Brother Lu, you have to give me a chance. No matter what, I will absolutely deliver on what I promised you."

"Moreover, I can make a note of the gift of resources, completely unrelated. I can even get it notarized at the notary office!!!" Dai Linfang remained somewhat calm but not entirely composed.

Lu Cheng thought for a moment and then said, "Brother Dai, I’m really insignificant; asking me to make a recommendation is truly not as effective as relying on your teacher, right?"

"I know, what I need to do most right now is to meet the actual person in charge of the project team, so I can recommend myself."

"I’m not asking you to recommend me in; I just want you to introduce me to them, even if it’s just to meet and then leave."

"Or, you could tell me where your project is taking place. I’ll go there myself."

"If they are not interested in me, it’s because I don’t have the skill. I’ve accepted my fate," said Dai Linfang.

"But if I don’t make this attempt, I really don’t know how I’m going to return where I want to go."

"Brother Lu, there’s a very realistic saying in society. I could have possibly gotten into Xiangya Hospital, not because I was worthy of its capabilities, but because if I had gotten in, I would have become an expert, enjoying all the resources."

"Having left, I am nothing, and I can’t make my way back there, so I can only shamelessly take a different path..."

Dai Linfang’s eyes burned intensely, his tone earnest.

Lu Cheng knew Dai Linfang might be pretending, but indeed, there was a shortage of hands around Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng then asked, "Brother Dai, what can you do? Tell me first, and I’ll see what I can ask."

"I, uh, can definitely do basic experiments, animal testing too, and I can write SCI papers, but the quality isn’t high, and my understanding of experiments is not that profound."

"It doesn’t matter if you want me to replicate a project. I can manage it. If you need me to apply for a project, there’s a chance, but if you want me to produce a high-level paper on my own, I can’t; I don’t have that capability," Dai Linfang said.

Lu Cheng said, "Brother Dai, you can’t make me repeat what you just said, right?"

"I’d get scolded to death," Lu Cheng said.

Dai Linfang knew Lu Cheng wanted him to talk about his strengths: "My academic qualifications are useless in front of them, I don’t have much money, and my abilities aren’t exceptional."

"Does persistence count? I currently play video games until three in the morning every day."

Lu Cheng simply asked, "Brother Dai, how about your surgical skills? You’re from general surgery."

"They’re okay, but surgical skills are useless; my talent in that area isn’t outstanding, and it’s the least useful. What’s crucial is the ability to work on projects."

Dai Linfang continued, "Oh, right, I do have a bit of a unique skill."

"I know a bit of computing! I can handle statistical analyses beyond regular statistical software."

"Though not much, I’ve been learning it throughout the last year!"

Actually, when Dai Linfang mentioned he knew a bit of computing, Lu Cheng was already interested.

Dai Linfang also said he could manage statistical analyses beyond regular statistical software, which was like asking for nothing more.

In a research team without professional staff, such a talent is regarded as an "expert."

Lu Cheng then extended his hand to Dai Linfang: "Brother Dai, that’s enough. Welcome to our project team."

Dai Linfang was still contemplating his strengths and advantages: "????"

"Brother Dai?" Lu Cheng hadn’t seen Dai Linfang respond, so he spoke up again.

"You? Brother, it’s not that I look down on you, but this thing is decided by the team leader," said Dai Linfang.

Lu Cheng nodded: "I know, Brother Dai."

"I’m very grateful to Teacher Huang for being quite tight-lipped."

Would you believe it, this Dai Linfang is actually the doctoral student of Professor Huang Gengwen from Xiangya Hospital’s pancreatic and spleen surgery department, and Professor Huang Gengwen was one of the professors Lu Cheng had refused before.

"You know my teacher? No way!"

Dai Linfang still hadn’t grasped it: "What’s going on here anyway? I still don’t get it!"

"Brother Dai, I’m not hiding anymore. Our research team is currently just a big facade without much of a core force."

"A call like the one you made yesterday I would definitely ignore, but for you to come find me, with such a good academic record, what more could I ask for?" Lu Cheng said.

"Are you the mysterious middleman my teacher talked about?" Dai Linfang blurted out.

The nickname Dai Linfang used was indeed unpleasant, and Lu Cheng’s eyebrows instantly furrowed slightly.

Dai Linfang immediately realized his mistake: "I knew it, no wonder I couldn’t find out about you; you were hiding here all along."

"You play this ’hiding in plain sight’ game well."

"Lu Cheng, are you that..."

"Got it."

Initially, Dai Linfang also thought that Lu Cheng’s involvement in this project was just blind luck.

But how many purely lucky people can there really be in the world?

However, Lu Cheng’s words also made Dai Linfang’s gaze flicker: "My teacher knows you?"

"We’ve met. But just that once," Lu Cheng said.

Dai Linfang rubbed his cheek and said, "Brother Lu, I actually exaggerated a bit; my data processing isn’t that great."

"That one?"

"No worries; the rest of us are even worse."

"Currently, our official project team consists of just three people. Me, and my wife as a permanent member!"
