Chapter 154: Who Actually Performed the Surgery?

"Zhao Zhuren, this joke of yours isn't funny at all." After hearing Zhao Xiangming finish, Ling Tian didn't believe a single word or punctuation mark of it.

"It's true..." Zhao Xiangming said sheepishly.

Never mind Ling Tian, even he himself could barely believe what he was saying.

It was a very strange feeling.

"Zhao Zhuren, then there's nothing more to say." Ding Yifan's impression of Zhao Xiangming plummeted to freezing point, and he said coldly.

What is the meaning of this?!

Zhao Xiangming would rather die than admit the powerful experts under his command were performing Flying Knife, and it was unclear what insurmountable conflict existed between them.

But to make up a lie about a Standardized Training Student who had just arrived at the hospital and was doing their Standardized Residency Training in the Urology Department was too excessive; did he think he and his senior fellow apprentice were fools!

"Ling Laoshi, Ding Laoshi, it's true." Zhao Xiangming sighed, "I'll take you to the Urology Department to see."

"Zhao Zhuren, you this..." Ling Tian shook his head.

"I don't know how it happened either, but the surgery he performed was indeed good, unexpectedly good." Zhao Xiangming didn't want to offend them, so he could only speak the truth.

Several big shots in the province were transferred from Shanghai and had resumes in Shanghai; heaven knows what relationship these big shots in Shanghai had with the big shots in the province.

Although it wouldn't go so far as to kill him with one blow, a few disparaging words would still make him feel extremely uncomfortable.

It wasn't worth it for a Standardized Training Student, Zhao Xiangming thought, filled with a desire to survive.

It wasn't that Zhao Xiangming had persecutory delusions; a few years ago in winter, a big shot from Shanghai was invited to give an academic report, and the department head arranged for them to soak in the snow hot springs in Snow Village.

That big shot's Closed-door disciple was happy for a moment and posted a few photos of the snow scenery on their social media.

Less than half an hour later, a phone call came in, and the boss in the province even complained that they hadn't said anything in advance before coming.

This kind of anecdote was just an anecdote, extremely distant from the world of ordinary people; Zhao Xiangming never expected that one day it would fall upon his own head.

"Ling Laoshi, Ding Laoshi, every word I said is true." Zhao Xiangming abandoned his selfish thoughts, "The first two video surgeries were really performed by a little Standardized Training Student."

After speaking, he didn't wait for the two to refute him and recounted the embarrassing incident from that day.

Drank too much, couldn't get on the operating table, and others couldn't finish the surgery.

These were all reasonable and logical.

But in the end, a Standardized Training Student from the Urology Department stepped in to turn the tide... this is just too ridiculous!

Even those eye-stinging workplace dramas nowadays wouldn't dare to film it like this.

"Zhao Zhuren, impressive." Ling Tian laughed after hearing it, "Why don't I help you contact Daylight Entertainment, and you can go be a screenwriter for them."

"..." Zhao Xiangming felt as if he had a piece of coptis in his mouth, his whole body numb with bitterness.

Ji Xiang didn't know that Zhao Xiangming was struggling, unable to defend himself for his sake.

"Xiao Ji, how do the films look?" Liu Zhuren was pulling Ji Xiang to look at films in his office.

It was hard to tell from the tone that this was a head of the Urology Department talking to a Standardized Training Student.

The 3 patients who had undergone Interventional Surgery were scheduled for a partial Kidney Resection tomorrow; because they hadn't done it this way before, although the logic held up and it was described in journal papers, Liu Zhuren was still worried and had a CT scan done for the patients before surgery.

"Zhuren, the Interventional Surgery was done quite well; it's full of Lipiodol, and the Tumor is in the necrosis stage." Ji Xiang looked at the films and relayed the System NPC's words to Liu Zhuren.

When would it be his turn to rotate to the Radiology Department? Ji Xiang now deeply felt that reading films was a major shortcoming of his.

His own level wasn't high enough, to the point where he had to quickly travel back and forth to the System Operating Room to ask for the System NPC's opinion.

Listening to Ji Xiang talk incessantly for twenty minutes, although Liu Zhuren was slightly surprised, he knew very well that Ji Xiang was right; this was a high-probability event.

"Xiao Ji, the surgery should go smoothly. The day after tomorrow, Sunday, I have a Flying Knife, you come with me."

"Where to?"

"Hahaha." Liu Zhuren laughed, "A hospital in Yuanliao City has been inviting me to perform surgery. That kind of small, broken place is also far away; who would want to go if they didn't have to."

"But there's an old Attending Physician over there whose concept has always been to perform Interventional Embolization first, then a partial Kidney Resection. Since we've started pondering this too, I remembered this matter."

Ji Xiang was very interested in this.

A doctor in such a godforsaken, small, broken place could actually propose such an advanced surgical concept; it seemed this person wasn't simple.

"The pay is low, you can take it all when the time comes." Liu Zhuren said with a smile, "At your age, you're just at the time when you're short on money."

"Zhuren, I rarely spend money."

"That's because you don't have a girlfriend yet. Once you have a girlfriend, you'll know what it means for a hero to be stumped by a penny. Want to talk back? Hahaha."

Liu Zhuren laughed as if he had thought of some joke.

Ji Xiang vaguely felt it wasn't anything good, but the speed of the Urology Department was too fast, and he was still young and didn't get it instantly.

"Bang~"

The door to the Zhuren's office was pushed open; because it was pushed too urgently, the door hit the wall behind it, making a loud noise, and the frosted glass almost shattered from the shock.

"Zhao Zhuren, is there a problem with the Patient?" Liu Zhuren was just about to get angry, but seeing Zhao Xiangming stride in, his heart skipped a beat.

Being in such a rush in a hospital only meant one thing—emergency rescue.

I said we shouldn't let Xiao Ji get involved in Interventional Surgery, Liu Zhuren muttered to himself. Damn it, if Lao Zhao tries to push the responsibility onto Xiao Ji, I'll have to stand up for Xiao Ji no matter what.

If the responsibility isn't too heavy, that is.

"Lao Liu, you help me testify. It just so happens that Doctor Ji is here too; who performed the Kidney Tumor Embolization we did a few days ago?"

"It was you, Zhao Zhuren." Ji Xiang answered without hesitation.

A knife stabbed into Zhao Xiangming's heart, and then gouged it twice more, leaving it a bloody mess.

"That's right, Lao Zhao, did you forget the surgery you performed yourself?" Liu Zhuren immediately took out a hammer and drove the knife in deeper.

"The surgery just now, the surgeon was Ma Jiaoshou, and it has nothing to do with my Xiao Ji. If there's a problem, go find a higher-level hospital for a consultation, go find Lao Jiang from the First Affiliated Hospital to take a look."

While speaking, Liu Zhuren pulled Ji Xiang and made him stand behind him.

Ling Tian understood everything; Liu Zhuren's desire to protect his own couldn't be more obvious.

"Director Liu, is it?" Ling Tian smiled slightly and extended a hand, "I am Ling Tian from Shanghai Hepatobiliary Hospital."

"Vice Chairman of the China Interventional Discipline Committee," Zhao Xiangming added.

Different professions are like different mountains; Director Liu truly did not know who Ling Tian was.

But Zhao Xiangming's addition was very timely; he stood up from his chair all at once, extended his hand, and shook Ling Tian's hand with overflowing enthusiasm.

"Director Liu, I'll get straight to the point." Ling Tian held Director Liu's hand, his eyes looking toward Ji Xiang.

"Those few Interventional Surgeries caught my boss's eye, so the two of us came this time just to see who performed the surgeries. If possible, perhaps there will be a chance to work together in the future."

Hearing Ling Tian's such straightforward expression, Director Liu's hand stiffened.
