"We're definitely meant to be, even if we can't be colleagues, we can be great partners."
Lu Cheng shook his head: "Director Tan, you flatter me. How do I have the qualifications to collaborate with you right now?"
"Everyone's growth is first guided by a teacher, and it's likely to remain so in the future."
Lu Cheng doesn't think he has the qualifications to discuss collaboration with Tan Zhongyuan's team. If he thought that having control over a tendon suturing project would allow him to sit at the same table as Tan Zhongyuan, then he would be underestimating Professor Tan.
At any time, accurately recognizing one's own position avoids both arrogance and self-deprecation; this is Lu Cheng's approach to handling matters.
"Dr. Lu is still very modest. If I were your age, I don't know where I would be floating around." Tan Zhongyuan was quite surprised.
However, upon thinking back to Lu Cheng's past as described by Tong Yuan'an, it all seemed logical.
