Chapter 310: Grand Gesture (Bonus Chapter ×5 for Alliance Leader Blowfly)

Professor Deng went on rounds early in the morning.

The patient who underwent the lumbar vertebra resection was recovering well; although they were becoming increasingly thin, their pain had eased significantly, and it looked like they could live for a few more months, with an improved quality of life during the time they had left.

The goal of the treatment had been achieved; since it could not be cured, the focus was on improving the quality of life.

The emotions of the patient's family members were also calmed, a potential disaster was averted, and Professor Deng felt grateful from the bottom of his heart for Ji Xiang, who had come to "save" the surgery that day.

"Teacher Deng, I'm heading to Thoracic Surgery now."

After finishing rounds, Zhao Tianjiao said respectfully to Professor Deng.

"Come back to perform surgeries often, and in your spare time, look at more patients and come to be on duty with the Resident Chief. When some minor surgeries are performed during night emergency shifts, your chances of getting hands-on experience are still quite high," Professor Deng said to Zhao Tianjiao with a smile.

"Thank you, Teacher Deng."

"We're all our own people, why be so polite?"

Although he said there was no need to be polite, Professor Deng was extremely polite; after all, everyone knew who was behind Zhao Tianjiao.

"Teacher Deng, is the surgery for the patient with the vertebral resection really that difficult to perform?" Zhao Tianjiao asked.

Professor Deng knew he was unconvinced.

Being rebuffed by Bai Chuzhang in the operating room that day was a "major trauma" for a proud and arrogant young man like Zhao Tianjiao, so it was only natural that he was unconvinced.

But what did he have to compare with Ji Xiang?

Professor Deng did not try to persuade Zhao Tianjiao; he had been interested in Ji Xiang for a long time, from the entrance exam to that bicycle, and then to the Embolization of Lumbar Transverse Artery.

The techniques Ji Xiang had displayed were already far beyond his own understanding.

"Teacher, then I'll head to the Thoracic Department first," Zhao Tianjiao said, reluctant to leave.

"Go ahead, go report in first; if you want to come back, you can come back anytime. No one in the Thoracic Department will make things difficult for you," Professor Deng said with a smile, waving his hand.

After leaving the ward, a group of people walked into the ward area, heading straight toward them.

Deng Chaohong was stunned; he felt a bit dazed. Was today a grand rounds day? Usually, only the Internal Medicine Department had grand rounds; the Surgery Department was relatively more informal, and even when their own department did rounds, not everyone was present, let alone people from several different departments doing rounds together.

In the Surgery Department, it was rare to see so many people wearing White Uniforms appear together.

And it wasn't a major emergency rescue.

Looking closely, the two people in the lead were actually... Liu Zhuren from the Urology Department and Ji Xiang.

"Professor Deng, where is Sui Zhuren?" Liu Zhuren asked.

"He should be in his office," Deng Chaohong said, looking at this scene in confusion. "Liu Zhuren, what is this?"

"Xiao Ji is rotating today, so I brought him over. I don't want him to be treated like a precious treasure in our department only to come to your Orthopedics Department and get upset."

That remark... was simply too direct, too shameless!

Deng Chaohong stared blankly at Liu Zhuren, clicking his tongue in his heart.

Was it worth it for a small Standardized Training Student?

It was worth it!

A voice shouted loudly in Deng Chaohong's heart.

Deng Chaohong had a flash of inspiration; several moments from the past three months flooded his mind. He seemed to feel the call of fate, his heart thumping, showing signs of atrial fibrillation.

Zhao Tianjiao watched the group from the Urology Department bring Ji Xiang to the Orthopedics Department, his eyes red and puffy, like a rabbit's.

The head of the Urology Department and several Attending Professors coming together to send Ji Xiang to the Orthopedics Department for his Standardized Residency Training—he had never even received such treatment himself!

His own old man, to avoid suspicion, certainly wouldn't be this grand.

Moreover, Zhao Tianjiao knew in his heart that even if a heads-up had been given in advance, it would at most be letting him perform a few surgeries within his own capabilities.

The actions of Liu Zhuren and the other professors from the Urology Department were already beyond his understanding.

Just like Deng Chaohong, who had no intention of sending him to the Thoracic Department at all.

"Professor Deng, you go ahead with your work; I'll take Ji Yisheng Xiang to find your Sui Zhuren," Liu Zhuren said with a chuckle.

Deng Chaohong didn't leave; instead, he followed behind, quiet and stealthy, like a thief.

Liu Zhuren knocked on the door familiarly and pushed it open without waiting for anyone inside to speak.

"Lao Liu? What are you doing here?" Sui Zhuren asked in surprise.

"Xiao Ji is coming to your department for his Standardized Residency Training rotation today, so I'm dropping him off," Liu Zhuren said, sitting directly on the bed in Sui Zhuren's Duty Room and crossing his legs.

"Uh..." Sui Zhuren paused for a moment, then looked at Ji Xiang with great interest.

Although he was only a Standardized Training Student, Sui Zhuren had long since heard of Ji Xiang's great name.

Breaking the Tying Knots record held by Dean Zhao for over twenty years during the grand competition—and not just once—it was impossible not to know about such a thing.

Coupled with the Embolization of Lumbar Transverse Artery incident a few days ago, Sui Zhuren was also quite interested in this young man.

But Liu Zhuren's approach was a bit much; was it really worth it for a Standardized Training Doctor?

"Lao Liu, you're going too far now," Sui Zhuren said dismissively. "A phone call would have sufficed; why make such a big scene? It just makes Xiao Ji feel awkward."

"Hahaha," Liu Zhuren laughed.

Ji Xiang felt so awkward he wanted to dig a hole in the floor with his toes; he really wanted to use 【Superior Doctor's Gaze】 on Liu Zhuren right now.

"Xiao Ji is conducting a research project in my Urology Department, which Bai Chuzhang values highly; he even specifically transferred a doctor from a lower-level hospital over. The research couldn't continue after Xiao Ji left, so I brought him over to give you a heads-up in advance."

"..."

Sui Zhuren didn't know about this.

Research—was that something a Standardized Training Student could touch?

Sui Zhuren glanced at Deng Chaohong intentionally or otherwise. Everyone knew what so-called research was: something to fudge, used for promotion or to make one's resume look shiny and bright.

It was truly useful, but it was also truly useless.

Zhao Tianjiao published articles in national-level journals with Deng Chaohong as the corresponding author; that was the top-tier treatment.

But for the research Liu Zhuren mentioned, Bai Chuzhang had actually transferred a doctor from a grassroots hospital for it!

This was no small matter.

Sui Zhuren asked with great interest.

Liu Zhuren proudly explained the newly launched Partial Nephrectomy after Embolization project to him.

With Hybrid Surgery being performed daily, Sui Zhuren immediately became cautious.

The department in the Surgery system that has the most contact with Hybrid Surgery is Orthopedics Department, so he naturally knows the depth of it.

Liu Zhuren being so cautious, his intentions were clear as day.

"Lao Liu, you still want to hog a talent like Xiao Ji? Don't mess around," Sui Zhuren said with a chuckle, "If he comes to my Orthopedics Department, he is a person of the Orthopedics Department."

After speaking, Sui Zhuren did not wait for Liu Zhuren to refute, and looked up at Ji Xiang.

This young man is really tall.

"Doctor Xiao Ji, staying in the Urology Department only requires a Doctor of Philosophy to be negotiable, but staying in our Orthopedics Department... we haven't had a new person join in 5 years. In the Surgery system, the best department is our Orthopedics Department."

"Are you interested?"

Facing Sui Zhuren's "shamelessness," Liu Zhuren and the others from the Urology Department were silent.

Indeed, in the Surgery system, the Orthopedics Department is the most lucrative, belonging to the kind where there is a lot of money, little work, and light responsibility; the Urology Department cannot compare to them.

"Professor Deng, it's good that you are here, you take Doctor Xiao Ji under your wing."

"German Orthopedics," Liu Zhuren said with disdain.
