Chapter 1512: with translation of chapter title

The next day, Zheng Ren came to the hospital and saw Zhou Chun Yong standing at the entrance.

His affable and approachable appearance gave no hint of the slightest dignity of the Director of the Interventional Medicine Discipline of Hepatobiliary in Di Du.

Seeing Zheng Ren arrive, Zhou Chun Yong hurried over, saying, "Zheng Lao Ban, you come here so early every day, truly hard work."

Zheng Ren laughed and cried at once.

Zhou Chun Yong transformed into this form, looking rather strange.

As for that? Being polite is a bit over the top.

Zheng Ren quickly waved his hands and said sincerely, "Director Zhou, you are being too polite."

Chang Yue couldn't be bothered to listen to these people's small talk, cold-faced, sidestepped past them, and went straight to change clothes and see patients.

Su Yun, meanwhile, watched Zhou Chun Yong with great interest.

"Zheng Lao Ban, my son has been especially obedient lately." Zhou Chun Yong came up and, without mentioning anything else, first brought up the incident when Zheng Ren scolded his son after returning that day.

"Don't say that." Zheng Ren waved his hands repeatedly and said, "To change someone else's life in the way I think is correct... I... sigh, it's shameful to say."

"That's not how you should put it." Zhou Chun Yong said, "If it were other matters, I wouldn't care. As for studying, I don't bother either. To say something unpleasant, I can at least claim my own little domain."

As he said this, Zhou Chun Yong looked self-satisfied, carrying a hint of the aura of the Director of Hepatobiliary in Di Du.

"Beijing Normal University Affiliated Elementary School, high school go directly abroad to study at an Ivy League. Well, just stay at prestigious schools like Massachusetts or California; it's not good to come back to study at Peking or Tsinghua. Even if my son is utterly hopeless, scoring 400 or 500 points is enough to get into Huaxi. Coming back to work at Xiehe would still be fine."

Zheng Ren's expression was somewhat stiff.

Such a life plan is completely different from his own experience.

"Zheng Lao Ban, look at what I'm saying." Zhou Chun Yong said, "Studying? That's for the descendants to have their own blessings. As for being a person, I won't impose my own standards on him. Not to mention my son; even the doctors under me have a generation gap with me, and they simply won't listen."

"If they won't listen, hit them!" Su Yun interjected, "Beat them to death!"

"Exactly! If they won't listen, hit them; if I can't beat them into submission, I'd rather not bear my surname…" Zhou Chun Yong realized he was being led astray by Su Yun, bent his waist slightly 5°, and repeatedly said, "That day my son was seeking death and begging for life; no matter what I said, it was useless, I was worried sick."

Zheng Ren remained silent.

"After I calmed down later, I thought that day he said he drank pesticide, which was probably fake. There was less pesticide at home, but I smelled it in the bathroom; I guess he poured out some of it."

"Director Zhou, where did you get the pesticide?"

"Don't mention this; bringing it up makes me angry. In the city, minors buying pesticide—you say you can just order it online! I must find an explanation for this!" Zhou Chun Yong said angrily.

"Speaking of business, shift change is soon. Today we still have something to do: we need to perform an interventional surgery for liver cancer." Su Yun said with a smile.

Zhou Chun Yong saw Director Kong, who looked strong and sturdy, but was actually crafty and experienced. Seeing this crafty veteran, he was actually especially prone to being led astray. Although said to be led astray, Su Yun wasn't sure if this old man was deliberately trying to get closer.

"Zheng Lao Ban, your help that day was a huge assistance to me and my wife. My wife also said you must come to our home someday; she'll cook a few of her signature dishes for you." Zhou Chun Yong bent his waist 10°.

"No problem." Zheng Ren laughed; he was mainly afraid that if he meddled that day, he would instead upset Zhou Chun Yong and his wife.

"Director Zhou, let's get down to business. You came running over so early this morning; you're not here just to thank me, are you?" Su Yun glanced at Zhou Chun Yong and asked.

"Isn't this because yesterday I talked with Li Lao's daughter to understand the situation? I felt that WeChat and phone calls couldn't make it clear, so I hurried over early this morning to come find you and ask about it." Zhou Chun Yong said.

"Huh?" Zheng Ren looked at Zhou Chun Yong and asked, "What do you want to ask?"

"Have you really found a way to deal with latent hepatic metastatic cancer?" Zhou Chun Yong asked quietly.

His voice was lowered to an extreme, like spies exchanging signals.

But if he were an underground spy, standing so conspicuously at the ward entrance would still be too eye-catching.

In short, it was quite strange.

"Well, I happened to find a first-generation optical tweezer, and I think it should work." Zheng Ren said.

Upon hearing Zheng Ren say that, Zhou Chun Yong's facial expression immediately turned solemn.

Having performed liver cancer interventional surgery for half his life, how could he not know that latent hepatic metastatic cancer is difficult to judge the metastasis location?

For example, Li Lao's liver cancer—he personally performed six interventional surgeries on him, which could be considered cured.

But after a period of time, the alpha-fetoprotein level rose inexplicably, and when Zhou Chun Yong tried to locate the metastatic lesions, he found himself unable to do so.

Not only him; under current technical conditions, Intervention Department Doctors worldwide cannot do it.

In the interventional field, Zheng Ren has reached the pinnacle; his level is beyond what others can imagine.

"Hey, Director Zhou, what are you thinking about?" Su Yun asked with a smile.

"Sigh, what else can I think? The student surpasses the teacher; Zheng Lao Ban is young, but his level is truly high!" Zhou Chun Yong said somewhat absentmindedly.

This sentence alone is more pleasant to hear than all the previous ones combined.

Although the remark was problematic, Su Yun wanted to retort him; she didn't even need to look for it—she could just pinch her fingers and have it.

"What does 'the student surpasses the teacher' mean, Director Zhou? Do you mean my Boss is someone you taught?"

Of course, Su Yun would not retort Zhou Chun Yong at this moment.

Compared to Zhou Chun Yong, Zhu Liangchen, if Director Kong were not present, would probably now have to worry even about losing the director position of Intervention Department Two.

Su Yun had no qualms about helping Zhou Chun Yong get rid of Zhu Liangchen; she just found him displeasing.

"Director Zhou, if you're curious, Li Lao has agreed to a needle biopsy for pathological tissue; you can come along and watch." Zheng Ren said offhandedly, "If there's anything abnormal in the CT images, I'll tell you then, how about that?"

"Look, how could I feel embarrassed about that." Zhou Chun Yong rubbed his hands and said.

"I thought you were going to ask what a first-generation optical tweezer is." Su Yun laughed.

"No meaning." Zhou Chun Yong said, "New technology—I'm too old to keep up; just being able to see how the issue that's puzzled me for over a decade is resolved already satisfies me."

"Director Zhou, you can't be satisfied that easily." Su Yun said with a smile, "How about you go up and lend a hand in today's surgery?"

Zhou Chun Yong's eyes lit up immediately.

Zheng Ren felt strange; what was Su Yun up to?

However, he put his doubts aside, neither confirming nor denying.

"Zheng Lao Ban, may I?" Zhou Chun Yong asked tentatively.

"It's just a liver cancer interventional surgery; there's really nothing to see." Zheng Ren said casually, "But if you want to watch, just change clothes and go up; it's fine. However, let's agree first that Old Liu should be the one to go up."

"Just looking is fine, just looking is fine." Zhou Chun Yong said with a smile.
