Chapter 110: Even a Dog Would Do a Better Job Than You
Liu Zhuren truly did not know why Zhao Zhuren of the Interventional Department would cry like this.
It is true that anything can happen when one has had too much to drink, but crying like a dog is a bit excessive.
However, he was the only one at the Second Affiliated Hospital capable of performing Embolization Surgery; even if he could not get on the table, it would be good to have him follow along and offer guidance.
Even if he was drunk.
With no other choice, Liu Zhuren could only settle for the next best thing.
"Xiao Wu, Xiao Ji, go help Zhao Zhuren change his clothes, then help him in," Liu Zhuren said with a dark face.
Wu Zong felt helpless; he could only go and take care of a drunkard.
The two entered the changing room when a burly figure suddenly lunged forward, trying to grab Ji Xiang's legs.
Ji Xiang's Agility was quite high; although it could not compare to his Luck, it was definitely much stronger than that of an ordinary person.
In the critical moment, as the mysterious figure lunged at him, Ji Xiang subconsciously raised his foot to kick.
"Don't!"
A woman's voice came from outside.
A men's changing room, a woman's voice—Ji Xiang truly felt that tonight was a complete mess; if not for a dying Patient and the System Task's reward of a random skill, he would really want to go home right now.
Zhao Zhuren was kicked flying and rolled a few times on the floor.
"What are you doing!" the Head Nurse scolded sharply, her eyebrows arched in anger.
"Li Jie, what happened?" Wu Zong blocked the space between the Head Nurse and Ji Xiang, his face full of apology as he bowed repeatedly, using his actions to express his regret.
"It's good that you're here, Zhao Zhuren has had too much to drink... don't let him vomit in the operating room later." Seeing that Zhao Zhuren was uninjured and was sitting on the floor clutching his knees and sobbing, the Head Nurse felt helpless, "You help him change his clothes, I'm going out first."
Seeing Zhao Zhuren's pathetic state and thinking of the Patient's condition, Ji Xiang did not hesitate and directly activated the skill.
Click.
【Gaze of the Superior Doctor】 activated, giving Zhao Zhuren a dose.
"Woooooo~~~" Zhao Zhuren was still crying, but for some reason, he developed an illusion that he was being scolded bloody by his director while performing surgery, and that the director was standing sternly right in front of him.
"Hiccup~" Zhao Zhuren tried hard to suppress his crying, his breath spasming, and he actually let out a hiccup.
Wu Zong was also stunned.
This damn sense of familiarity had actually returned!
Although Ji Xiang hadn't used it on him, Wu Zong had experienced it too many times; that diffused aura had long since triggered his DNA, and the ATP High-energy Phosphate Bonds were constantly breaking, crackling and popping as they released a massive amount of energy.
"Shut up! Look at how pathetic you are!" Ji Xiang scolded, "What is it, if you don't get up, are you planning to sleep here? Do you want me to hold a vigil for you?"
"!!!"
Although the Head Nurse felt something was wrong, Ji Xiang's words were too cutting; this was not something a junior Doctor could say.
"You..."
Before the Head Nurse could finish her angry rebuke, she was stunned to see her own director scramble to his feet, standing with his head bowed before that young Doctor.
Zhao Zhuren's face was covered in tear tracks and grime, looking somewhat ridiculous. His legs were trembling, yet he was trying hard to stand steady.
That junior Doctor from the Urology Department's words seemed more effective than a hangover cure.
"You're a grown man, having a drink is one thing, but you actually drank until you lost control of your bladder. What's next, do you need me to give you antidiuretic hormone? Are you planning to take it via IV push or orally?"
"Director, Director, no need, no need, I just lost control of my emotions a bit," Zhao Zhuren explained in a low voice, head bowed.
Director? The Head Nurse felt a wave of dizziness.
She hadn't been drinking today, so why was there such a thick sense of intoxication? And Zhao Zhuren was clearly drunk, actually calling a junior Doctor 'Director'.
Did he mistake the junior Doctor for Liu Zhuren of the Urology Department?
Wu Zong grinned; this damn sense of familiarity!
Although he didn't understand why, he knew Zhao Zhuren's mindset very well.
"Head Nurse, you go out first, I'll help Zhao Zhuren change his clothes, thank you for your hard work, it's all for the Patient," Wu Zong said incoherently as he ushered the Head Nurse out.
By the time he returned, Zhao Zhuren had already been scolded bloody, his clothes soaked through as if he had just been fished out of the water.
As for the alcohol, he was more than half sober.
"When the sun comes up, stand at the front gate and soak in the sun, look at that ghostly state you're in!"
"Yes, yes, yes, Director."
"Change your clothes!"
Listening to "himself" sternly berating Zhao Zhuren, Ji Xiang felt even more helpless.
Although these were all things he wanted to say, saying them out loud made him feel extremely awkward.
The Muscle Memory was there, and Ji Xiang couldn't control it.
Fortunately, Zhao Zhuren was mostly sober; he changed his clothes nimbly, washed his face, and stood beside Ji Xiang with a submissive expression.
"Don't get on the table, you can provide guidance from the sidelines," Ji Xiang turned and scolded in a low voice, "What kind of director are you! Even bringing a dog in would be better than what you've done."
"..." Wu Zong was silent.
"You're the director of the Interventional Department, don't you know that! Drinking so much, what would you do if an emergency came in! Don't give me any of that nonsense, if no one can perform the surgery, can't you teach someone yourself?"
"Yes, yes, Director, I was wrong," Zhao Zhuren apologized incessantly.
As they spoke, they arrived at the operating room, where Ma Jiaoshou had already begun the Angiography.
Seeing Zhao Zhuren of the Interventional Department walk in perfectly fine, without tears or much sign of intoxication, Liu Zhuren was even more dazed.
It was just that Zhao Zhuren was following behind Ji Xiang like a little lackey, which was truly baffling.
He gave Wu Zong a look, asking what had happened.
Wu Zong shook his head, signaling that he didn't know either.
That damn sense of familiarity could not be expressed in words, so Wu Zong simply shut his mouth.
"Watch," Ji Xiang said in a deep voice.
This time, he used 【Superior Doctor's Gaze】 on the unfamiliar Zhao Zhuren, and the force was exceptionally strong; Ji Xiang did not know why either.
He vaguely felt that he was very angry, felt that the System NPC was very angry, and could even feel that the Zhou Jiaoshou he had seen through Empathy was also very angry.
The System NPC and Zhou Jiaoshou were standing right behind him, as if they had activated an ultimate move.
The duration of the 【Superior Doctor's Gaze】 skill was dragging on and on.
"Doctor Xiao Ji..."
Liu Zhuren sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly spoke.
But when Ji Xiang turned his head and their eyes met, Liu Zhuren's bladder sphincter spasmed, and he nearly lost control.
Although Ji Xiang had not used the skill on Liu Zhuren, the skill was amplified by an invisible force today, and its aura leaked out intensely; Liu Zhuren fell silent after just being glanced at from within the crowd.
"I am scrubbing in for surgery, watch carefully." After Ji Xiang finished speaking, he pressed the intercom, "Wait a moment, I am going up to lend a hand."
Liu Zhuren was stunned; how was Ji Xiang speaking!
The temper of young people nowadays is truly volatile; they quit at the slightest provocation and cannot endure even a bit of grievance.
But no matter what, one shouldn't speak to Zhao Zhuren in this tone, right? It's over; Liu Zhuren's hands felt a bit numb, Lao Zhao would definitely lose his temper.
