Chapter 1159: with translation of chapter title

~8 min read 1,406 words

Lao Gao, No Rush. Zheng Ren said: "Manager Feng went abroad with me; I haven't been able to attend to this side. Little Feng, just tighten up these few days."

Gao Shaojie laughed and started picking vegetables; being able to tell Zheng Lao Ban some information from the side was already enough. Talking too much about such things would be too fawning, which is going too far.

Everything has its measure; Gao Shaojie felt he had grasped it just right.

Feng Xu Hui repeatedly apologized.

Zheng Ren suddenly realized something and asked: "In your company, is there someone dissatisfied with you?"

Feng Xu Hui was somewhat surprised; these matters are usually noticed only by Yun Ge'er, how could Chief Zheng also notice them?

But the moment the thought arose, he almost slapped himself. Chief Zheng usually couldn't be bothered to manage things, so how could he not know?

However, the company's dirty laundry shouldn't be spread everywhere. Feng Xu Hui hastily said a few vague words, brushing the matter over.

Dean Xiao and Director Pan had some drinks, and were in high spirits.

Liu Xiao Jie hadn't eaten many bites; all her attention was focused on the various people at the table.

Soon, she discovered that her previous judgments were all wrong.

The dean, being somewhat polite toward the young Chief Zheng—and not just ordinarily polite—took advantage of the genuine-and-fake alcohol courage and said twice that if he brought people to Di Du for treatment, he would still ask Zheng Lao Ban for convenience.

Even a major dean, even if he's the dean of a fourth-tier small city, would have some connections in Di Du anyway; why bother acting so small?

And the two middle-aged individuals who should be team-leading professors from the Medical University Affiliated Hospital in Sheng Cheng showed extreme respect toward the young "Chief Zheng," which could be felt.

Liu Xiao Jie even doubted she was mistaken, as if the young Chief Zheng, the one who moved a chair for Manager Feng, were an old, virtuous expert and professor.

The middle-aged person sitting in the corner spoke very little, only mentioning him twice. He should be the head of the Intervention Department at another hospital; in this setting, even Manager Feng's status is inferior.

This strange banquet made Liu Xiao Jie feel too weird.

Is it because Hai Cheng this small place has no big shots? Probably not. When Liu Xiao Jie was in college, she was in another province's provincial capital, and she clearly knew what kind of presence the Medical University Affiliated Hospital had in a provincial capital.

How terrifying is the presence of the team-leading professors from the Medical University Affiliated Hospital?

Although the expressions of the two team-leading professors at the table showed no sign of how terrifying they are, this is precisely the strangest part, isn't it?

Some people drank alcohol, but there were still a few who didn't. Liu Xiao Jie felt her social experience was utterly insufficient; all the information contradicted each other, making it impossible to make sense of.

She muddled through to the end of the drinking gathering.

Dean Xiao politely saw Zheng Ren off to the car, saying countless half-true, half-false words that made Liu Xiao Jie, who had just entered society, feel her blood boil.

Feng Xu Hui drove, following that red Volvo XC60, arriving at a small skewer shop in the urban-rural fringe.

This is the rhythm of how our own people eat; Liu Xiao Jie showed no contempt, and this time she made the correct judgment.

Everyone sat down, the white-haired old director sitting in the center, with the stars surrounding the moon.

Director Pan looked at Zheng Ren and asked seriously: "Have you figured it out?"

Zheng Ren nodded and said: "I won't do research anymore; Director, you're right, research isn't for me. Although it's also about healing and saving lives, I still prefer clinical work."

"Too many thoughts, everyone has them; you're still young, the road is still long. Do your surgeries well, or else you'll waste these skills." Director Pan saw that Zheng Ren had understood, the remaining knots would slowly be worn away, and he wasn't in a rush either; he raised his cup and began to drink.

While drinking and chatting, Director Pan suddenly asked: "Manager Feng, your leg isn't fully healed yet? I know an old Chinese medicine practitioner in Di Du; we can try acupuncture."

Zheng Ren felt especially helpless.

The old director's generation lacked medicine and drugs; traditional Chinese medicine was indeed a way to solve the problem. Back then, even anesthesia had to be attempted using traditional Chinese acupuncture. But what era is it now? Moreover, Feng Xu Hui's leg injury is due to external trauma—can traditional Chinese medicine be useful?

"It's fine, Director Pan." Feng Xu Hui laughed: "Just get used to it."

"I'll give you a call later; if you have time, go check it out." Director Pan also knew that the chance of recovery through traditional Chinese medicine therapy wasn't high; he said it offhandedly, and trying it when there's time is never wrong.

Chu Yanran and Chu Yan zhi arrived later together with Zhong Min; in the tycoon's skewer shop, fragrance filled the air, and Liu Xiao Jie wondered in her heart whether all the beauties of this fourth-tier city Hai Cheng were gathered here.

Not everyone was present; Director Pan and Zheng Ren occasionally spoke. The other few girls were talking and laughing, their voices relatively loud. In this street-side skewer shop, the speaking volume wasn't high, so one couldn't hear what was being said at all.

Liu Xiao Jie sat alone on one side, observing everyone as a bystander. However, her focus remained on the Chief Zheng to whom Manager Feng had devoted all his enthusiasm.

Looking quite ordinary, if you threw him into a street crowd, you'd definitely not be able to find that kind of person. Perhaps it's because his skill level is high, but at this age, how high could his skill level possibly be?

Countless questions, impossible to fully explain; Liu Xiao Jie felt somewhat confused. But she wasn't in a rush, she had a vague guess, and all of this before her eyes was not as simple as she imagined.

At a street-side skewer shop, if you don't drink alcohol, you usually won't eat for too long.

Just as they were eating, Director Pan's phone rang.

After answering the call, Director Pan and Zheng Ren whispered a few words; Zheng Ren then stood up and went out to pay the bill. Feng Xu Hui wanted to grab the bill, but Zheng Ren pressed him down into the chair.

Do the people brought by the vendor not have to pay the bill? Is just following along eating and drinking enough? Liu Xiao Jie saw Zheng Ren finish paying, take the receipt and walk back, handing the receipt to Feng Xu Hui.

This... doesn't cost money; this amount can even be taken back for reimbursement.

Liu Xiao Jie was stunned.

Such topsy-turvy things made her unable to understand.

"Let's go, the hospital has an emergency consultation; hurry up and go take a look." Zheng Ren said.

"Chief Zheng, you're born to toil. When you're not home, there aren't that many things at home." Chu Yan zhi said.

"Hehe." Zheng Ren just laughed, without rebuttal.

"You can't say it like that; for the upcoming emergency consultation, if Zheng Ren isn't there, they'd probably have to cut the intestines. Go take a look, if you can preserve, preserve a bit." Director Pan said, "I'll just head back directly. Zheng Ren, after you finish surgery tomorrow morning, will you return to Di Du or go to Sheng Cheng?"

"You can't say that; if Zheng Ren isn't there for the emergency later, we'll probably have to cut the intestines. Go take a look; if we can preserve it, we'll preserve it." Director Pan said, "I'll just head back. Zheng Ren, after you finish Shou Bing tomorrow morning, will you go back to Di Du or go to Sheng Cheng?"

Because there was an emergency consultation, everyone's steps were a bit hurried.

Those who drank went straight home; Xie Yiren sent Director Pan back, and Zheng Ren directly got into Feng Xu Hui's car.

Those who were drinking went straight home, Xie Yiren sent Director Pan back, and Zheng Ren directly got into Feng Xu Hui's car.
