It was during rounds, and few people were taking the elevator down.
Ding Gong and a few others got into an empty elevator. Once inside, Professor Ding casually flicked his hair to cover his bald patch and said amicably, "Dr. Lu, when do you plan to further your education?"
Wu Xiang, hearing this, knew that Ding Gong was quite familiar with Lu Cheng, even knowing that Lu Cheng had only an undergraduate degree.
Moreover, from Ding Gong's tone, it seemed like he was actively inviting Lu Cheng to pursue a doctoral degree.
Ding Gong was invited by Director Wu Xiang, who was responsible for hosting and escorting him. Lu Cheng was just accompanying them, but when asked, he responded, "Professor Wu, perhaps I'll make a definitive decision after I am promoted to associate senior."
"If I were to set aside my current work for a few years to further my education without having achieved a senior title, it would feel very restricting."
