This way, Lu Cheng can free up more time for his own affairs, including but not limited to attending the selection exam in Xiangzhou.

Du Qiang also said that while the county is unwilling to release people, the State hopes such talents can move over, which is another aspect!

Lu Cheng’s resume has some weight now, so as long as Lu Cheng is willing, the county will likely not be able to stop him, but it requires Lu Cheng to actively express his intentions.

"Then he’s really asking for trouble." Zhang Tiesheng commented.

"Even a strong dragon doesn’t suppress the local snake. Why does he think that just because he’s the director of the emergency department, everyone has to listen to him? He wasn’t necessarily in charge in the general surgery department either."

Lu Cheng said, "Brother Zhang, let’s not worry about these things for now, thank you."

"You’re still up? It’s almost eleven o’clock."

"I was going to rest, but I’m too upset to sleep because of this matter. Forget it, I’ll go out for a drink to help me sleep. I’ll take over your shift tomorrow," Zhang Tiesheng said.

After Zhang Tiesheng hung up, Lu Cheng saw a message from Du Qiang’s alternate number: "When did you connect with Huang Haibo??"

Du Qiang did not address Lu Cheng, and the phone number wasn’t registered under Du Qiang’s real name.

Lu Cheng replied, "I have no relationship with Director Huang at all?"

"Huang Haibo is even more ruthless than me; I basically don’t need to exert any effort on this matter."

"Huang Haibo just said that he has a better way to get you out..."

"Huh?" Lu Cheng was puzzled.

Du Qiang replied, "Yes, Huang Haibo didn’t want to take over as the emergency department director, he’s planning to leave, but not to the neighboring province; he intends to go to the State."

"His condition to the hospital was to take you with him."

"The hospital leaders all agreed because Huang Haibo holds too much evidence. If he releases any bit of it, whoever’s name he points out will basically be finished."

Lu Cheng said, "Isn’t this extortion?"

Du Qiang replied, "Yeah, hasn’t he always focused on extortion? But he himself is not porcelain."

"Honestly, if I’d known earlier that Huang Haibo had his eyes on you, I wouldn’t even need to pretend to have a meltdown today."

"Huang Haibo said he wants to take you away, who would dare to stop him!!!"

Lu Cheng said, "But I’m really not familiar with Director Huang."

"That makes things strange."

"Whatever, let’s leave it at that. Actually, if Huang Haibo has set his sights on you, it’s a good thing."

"There are hardly any lawyers more proficient in medical-related laws and regulations than him."

Lu Cheng: "..."

Lu Cheng really couldn’t imagine Huang Haibo targeting him; he had only heard of Huang Haibo’s past achievements, like taking down the old director of internal medicine.

Why is he targeting me? On what basis does he plan to take me away?

What’s in it for Huang Haibo?

After deleting the messages with Du Qiang, Lu Cheng looked outside the window; it was pitch black outside, with only occasional twinkling lights, trapped by the darkness, with no escape.

Lu Cheng now somewhat misses the past, when all he needed to do was study hard, no need to interact with so many branches of sociology?

These branches are much harder than professional skills.

Lin Qianlong’s resignation, Du Qiang’s "hypocrisy," and now suddenly Huang Haibo appears.

Long County People’s Hospital still has so many unfamiliar directors; these people’s methods must be brilliant.

What does one Lu Cheng compare to? At most, he’s just a little better in skills, a little luckier!

Of course, Lu Cheng understands that from a long-term perspective, his skills now are more than just a little better compared to others at Long County People’s Hospital.
