1341 Old above, young below (Alliance Leader Tomato Sauce's husband Potato extra chapter 1)

Liu Xu zhi himself could also do the second-stage Shou Bing, after all he had watched countless Shou Bing livestreams, just follow along, worst case go slower.

But having guidance versus figuring it out on one's own is completely different. He also worried that Zheng Lao Ban's first-stage Shou Bing would go well, and then his own second-stage would end up botching it.

"Zheng Lao Ban, I'll sum up these two days properly, then I'll try doing two more TIPS Surgeries myself." Liu Xu zhi said firmly.

"Come on." Zheng Ren cheered him on.

There was a noisy argument in the hallway; Zheng Ren didn't pay attention, guessing that Director Wang had shown the electroplating rod to the patient's family, causing emotions to spiral a bit.

This is all normal.

Whose child isn't born of parents and raised by them?

Especially for only children, when they suddenly face a major change and then see the electroplating rod with their own eyes, it's impossible for their emotions not to fluctuate.

While changing clothes, Liu Xu zhi began to hesitate. His facial expression kept shifting; finally he made a great determination, his expression turning somewhat fierce.

"Zheng Lao Ban, over there… I mean, hypothetically… do you need people to work?" Liu Xu zhi felt nervous, but finally managed to say this.

"Huh?" Zheng Ren blinked.

Having started, Liu Xu zhi found it easier to speak.

"Zheng Lao Ban, look at my situation—it's tumultuous. To be frank, I don't even know if I'll have work tomorrow." Liu Xu zhi was distressed, head down, "If the hospital reform fails, aside from Interventional surgery, other techniques like reading images are just average for me. But we're too small here; nobody knows what Interventional surgery is."

Seeing Liu Xu zhi's hair turned gray, his waist bent so he couldn't straighten, long worn down by life with not a shred of vigor left. All that remained was the tenacity to sustain family, children, and survival, propping up this body.

Zheng Ren felt somewhat bleak inside.

There is no right or wrong, only the dignity of life and the pressure of living.

He thought seriously, then said: "Take on the TIPS Surgery, focus on doing it here as much as possible. If you really have nowhere to earn a living, I'll introduce you to a job."

Liu Xu zhi's shoulders trembled; he didn't lift his head right away, but kept it lowered, voice choking as he said: "Thank you, thank you."

"Meeting is fate; after all, we're comrades-in-arms in the same trench." Zheng Ren patted Liu Xu zhi's shoulder, smiling, and said: "Going to Di Du is only temporary; whether we'll go elsewhere later is uncertain. But the income level should be higher than yours now; the exact amount depends on workload."

"Zheng Lao Ban, I'll become your adopted son, I can endure hardship." Liu Xu zhi, hearing Zheng Ren say that, hurriedly lifted his head, eye sockets red, tears not yet wiped.

If it weren't for the hospital reform issue, Liu Xu zhi wouldn't have said this to Zheng Ren even if he had the idea.

Seeing that the Shou Bing was already done, Zheng Lao Ban was about to leave. Next time we meet, I don't know how long we'll have to wait; if I don't speak now, there might be no chance.

At this moment, all dignity has vanished; sustaining life is what matters most.

A sudden loss of emotional control made a man in his forties burst into tears.

"Look at you, promising." Zheng Ren handed over the Isolation Gown Liu Xu zhi had taken off, patted his shoulder, and said: "You've got skill; what's there to fear?"

"I..."

"I ask you, how many people nationwide could perform TIPS Surgery a year ago?" Zheng Ren asked seriously.

"..."

"So then, you shouldn't go without food. I know, at your age with elderly parents and young children, it's hard to drag the whole family to another city to live. But your level in the Interventional Medicine Discipline is about average… Don't worry, if you go to Di Du to work, I'll give you ten or eight Shou Bing to practice, and you can study them well; your level can still improve."

Liu Xu zhi hastily wiped away his tears.

"Sister Lin has beauty projects on her side; I'll pave the way. Once the Shou Bing matures, that's a big profit—Sister Lin won't always give me a large share. But sending two people over to work there, she'd be happy." Zheng Ren didn't say it, didn't mind, but he understood clearly.

"Embolization of the gastric fundus and left gastric Artery. This kind of Shou Bing is nothing for you. But the technique isn't mature yet; don't rush, I'll refine it for a month or two, and once it's mature you can come learn."

"Who is Sister Lin?" Liu Xu zhi asked dazedly.

"Uh..." Zheng Ren rubbed his forehead, seeing Old Liu moved, his emotions also slightly stirred, forgetting that Liu Xu zhi didn't know about Lin JiaoJiao.

"Right now it should be the leading entity of the nation's largest legitimate medical beauty industry." Zheng Ren smiled: "In the future it will definitely be standardized; then one Shou Bing will earn you eight or twelve hundred, and doing ten a day wouldn't be enough to spend."

A huge pie fell on Liu Xu zhi's head, directly stunning him.

"No need for that much, no… this… it's too much." Liu Xu zhi muttered.

Zheng Ren chuckled; if Su Yun were there, she'd probably sigh and retort him a couple times. Seeing Old Liu's clueless look, he had no idea of his own worth.

A distorted sense of value pressed this person, who ought to be respected and live well, to the point of being unable to breathe. Consequently, his wife grabbed a rolling pin, chasing him to the hospital over a few thousand yuan of private money.

Life really has nowhere to reason.

"First do all the nearby patients needing TIPS Surgery, hone your skills, then we'll talk later."

Liu Xu zhi felt ashamed, not knowing what to say; he just silently followed Zheng Ren out of the Gengyishi.

Unable to express himself, not knowing how to, such a middle-aged old man, without a big opportunity, would be crushed by the tide of the times.

Having stepped out, a figure lunged straight at him.

Zheng Ren jumped; his mind was still pondering when he could use the True Eye to examine the issue of embolization of the gastric fundus and left gastric Artery, not noticing anything else.

"Doctor, thank you, thank you." The simple patient's mother, not knowing how to express gratitude, knelt before Zheng Ren, said two thanks, then clung to his leg and burst into loud sobs.

This… Zheng Ren soothed repeatedly, but emotional release always needs time. Earlier, facing a woman who might lose her child, amidst confusion, half-consciousness, anxious waiting, seeing the electroplating rod and being told the Shou Bing succeeded, her emotions finally collapsed.

Zheng Ren estimated that whatever he said to her, she wouldn't hear. At this moment, her mind should be a blank.

Truly helpless, Zheng Ren sought help from Director Wang.

Director Wang pulled the patient's father over.

The man didn't pull his wife, but instead deeply bowed sincerely, "Doctor, thank you; you saved our family."

"No problem, just luck." Zheng Ren chuckled and said.

"Great kindness and great virtue—anything you say is superfluous." The man went over and grabbed his wife by the arm, but couldn't budge her. Then he kicked her and shouted, "The doctor is exhausted, needs to rest—hurry up and get up!"
