Chapter 450: Unexpected Enthusiasm

"Ji Xiang!" The middle-aged doctor in the lead reached out from afar, brimming with enthusiasm.

In the Review Room and the Doctor's Office, everyone who heard him affectionately call out Ji Xiang's name felt a sense of absurdity and bewilderment.

They looked at the director, who was clearly so experienced that his head was already bald, and felt inexplicably confused.

Was it because the Camera Crew was here?

This thought had just surfaced before it was immediately suppressed by everyone.

Especially the Guangtou Zhuchiren; he understood very well what the doctors and directors at Hang Yi Da Yi Fu Yuan meant.

When they first made contact, several hospitals had refused to be filmed, which was completely different from other industries. It was only by a stroke of luck that the Affiliated Hospital agreed to the filming.

However, before filming, the hospital administration had still laid out many red lines that could not be crossed.

During the filming process, although the doctors, including the directors, didn't say anything on the surface and could be considered cooperative, they were actually quite resistant inside despite their gentle exterior.

The directors of other departments wouldn't even show their faces; they had no intention of being on camera at all.

Yang Zhuren here was actually being very accommodating to the production team.

The director before them being this enthusiastic was, on the contrary, an anomaly.

No, what he was thinking must be wrong; the Guangtou Zhuchiren immediately dismissed his own idea. But his brain, which was so clever it didn't grow hair, couldn't figure out for a moment why this director was so enthusiastic, even carrying a hint of a sycophantic demeanor.

"You are..." Ji Xiang was also taken aback for a moment, reaching out to shake hands with the director opposite him.

"Long heard of your name, long heard of your name!" That director laughed heartily. "Ji Xiang, Doctor Xiao Ji, I've long wanted to come and see you. But you were busy here, and it wouldn't have been good to disturb you rashly. I had thought about finding you for a meal after you finished filming, but look, hasn't the opportunity arrived now?"

Ji Xiang was completely baffled.

Seeing Ji Xiang's confusion, Li Zhuren did not let go of his hand, but instead pulled Ji Xiang in quite affectionately, leaning his body over to avoid the cameras, and whispered, "I've found that old thing Qin Chu an eyesore for a long time!"

Oh, Ji Xiang recalled the academic conference in Shanghai a few months ago, where Li Zhuren had been sitting in the middle of the second row.

Although a long time had passed and Li Zhuren hadn't spoken at the conference, acting almost like a background prop, Ji Xiang could immediately recall that scene and Li Zhuren's face as soon as he thought about it.

"Awesome!" Li Zhuren gave a thumbs up with his other hand and praised, "I didn't want to attend the conference either, but I couldn't help myself. That day, you directly scolded that old thing Qin Chu into the hospital and even slapped Ling Tian in the face; it was truly satisfying to watch!"

"Li Zhuren, what are you two talking about?" Yang Zhuren looked a bit confused and asked suspiciously.

"Nothing much." Li Zhuren laughed heartily, his voice no longer kept extremely low, and he shook hands with Ji Xiang enthusiastically again before letting go.

"Doctor Xiao Ji is a young talent in our interventional field, and I have long admired him."

"..."

"..."

"..."

No one expected that this director would actually say such things.

Yang Zhuren's jaw nearly hit his feet, and Zhai Yuhan was so shocked that her hair stood on end, as if from a static reaction.

Li Zhuren, the director of the Interventional Department, was actually speaking to an Intern and Standardized Training Student with a hint of a sycophantic demeanor.

This scene was something Zhai Yuhan had never dreamed of.

Although Director Zheng had said a few things intermittently in the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Room, he had only said half of it, and Zhai Yuhan would never have imagined that Ji Xiang actually had such a high status in the interventional field.

And what did Li Zhuren just say? A rising star in the Interventional Department, a young talent!

Before this, he had whispered a few words to Ji Xiang and given a thumbs up; no matter how one looked at it, it seemed like Li Zhuren was fawning over him and constantly buttering Ji Xiang up.

This intense sense of displacement made people feel lost.

"My surname is Li, and my name is Li Ming," Li Zhuren introduced himself. "I am the director of the Interventional Department here. Doctor Xiao Ji, let's communicate more and get closer in the future."

"Thank you, Li Zhuren." Ji Xiang bowed very politely.

"I wouldn't dare," Li Zhuren dodged quickly, as nimble as a Shizi facing the dark muzzle of a gun.

Yang Zhuren watched, dumbfounded.

"Li Zhuren, there is a Patient here..."

"I heard from Sun Jiaoshou that they came back after being seen in Shanghai." Li Zhuren switched states, moving from admiration to work in the blink of an eye. "Let me see the scans."

"Here." Ji Xiang didn't even look, "casually" pulling out a scan and inserting it into the film viewer with a "click."

Fan Dao's eyes were bright, shining with a sharp glint.

This was the scene he had dreamed of; he had never imagined in his wildest dreams that the financial backer would actually bring in such a peculiar young master.

Li Zhuren's demeanor just now must have been genuine; that outpouring of true emotion could be clearly felt.

Although it was very surprising, it was the truth.

With no time to be shocked, Fan Dao waved his hand, and the Camera Crew immediately adjusted the angle to capture the backs of Ji Xiang and Li Zhuren.

"It is indeed a bit difficult, but we have treated many similar patients; the best one has already lived for 8 years and is still lively and active now," Li Zhuren said softly.

"Director, what is the amount of Lipiodol for the first embolization?" Ji Xiang asked.

"Generally 5-10 milliliters; whether it's effective depends on fate," Li Zhuren said.

"The second surgery is in 35 days?"

"About that, a follow-up in 4-5 weeks," Li Zhuren said. "If the effect is decent, we can continue. Although it's not one hundred percent effective, this is the final resort after all, and there are quite a few successful examples.

We have done many similar cases; it's worth a try."

Listening to the exchange between the two, Yang Zhuren was also stunned.

He knew that the Interventional Department could treat Liver Cancer, but because the Patient had been seen in Shanghai and there were records of visits to the Interventional Department's Outpatient Department, Yang Zhuren didn't think the Patient could undergo Interventional Surgery.

However!

The director of the home department, Li Ming, had actually given the same answer as Ji Xiang!

Yang Zhuren and Zhai Yuhan had hollow eyes, watching Li Zhuren and Ji Xiang standing in front of the film viewer communicating with each other, feeling bewildered.

What kind of background did Ji Xiang have for Li Zhuren to speak to him in such a tone?!

The more they thought about this, the more incredible it seemed, and the more difficult it was to believe.

Yet they were standing right before their eyes, and it couldn't be fake.

Zhai Yuhan in particular had originally thought that if Sun Jiaoshou could come for a consultation, it would be giving her boss face, but she never expected that Li Zhuren would actually come in person to conduct a consultation that went against the rules.

Not only did Li Zhuren come, but he also brought all the doctors from the Interventional Department with him.

This was no longer a consultation; it was more like coming to meet a big shot and senior in the medical field, and their words were filled with respect and very complicated emotions.

……

……

In the Review Room, the Guangtou Zhuchiren, who claimed he could handle any situation, was also caught off guard for the first time, letting the strange atmosphere of the Review Room spread.
