Chapter 1688: 1631 Angry Birds

Zheng Ren has never been to the Capital Medical University Affiliated Hospital; this place is unfamiliar to him.

According to Director Ye, the consultation is in the Cardiothoracic Surgery of the Medical University Affiliated Hospital, on the 17th floor of the Surgical Building.

Taking the elevator up, Zheng Ren didn't consider whether this side would be hostile to him; he kept pondering the reconstruction of that image.

The phone rang twice, but the signal in the elevator was poor; Zheng Ren saw it was Lin Ge and didn't rush.

We'll talk after getting out of the elevator.

The hospital's elevator is always like the elevator during the morning rush hour at a large CBD, stopping at every floor.

Every time it stops, many people try to get on. But after the elevator's overload alarm beeps, some still unwilling, they tiptoe or lift a leg, trying to see if that would lighten the weight.

Zheng Ren really doesn't understand this practice.

The elevator should consider weight in kilograms, not floor area.

But he wasn't in a hurry either; if he were, he'd just run via the fire escape. The patient's condition should be stable; thinking more won't hurt.

After walking about ten minutes, he reached the 17th floor.

Stepping out, he saw Lin Ge waiting in the lobby. Lin Ge wore a suit, very formal. Beside him stood a middle-aged man, and the two were speaking softly.

"Director Lin, are you here for a blind date?" Zheng Ren, who hadn't seen Lin Ge in days, greeted him with a small joke upon meeting.

"Boss Zheng, you see what you're saying." Lin Ge cared about Zheng Ren's joke—not in an unhappy way, but rather he was pleased.

Being able to joke with oneself meant the Zhao Wenhua incident had no impact on him; it also meant recent work had brought him closer to Boss Zheng.

In Boss Zheng's heart, he should be considered one of his own.

"How did you come, Director Lin?" Zheng Ren then asked.

"For an external consultation, it's better to have someone from the Medical Department accompany you. Sometimes when disagreements arise, someone can resolve them; if there are differing opinions, you stay behind and I'll go argue with them." Lin Ge said with a smile.

Zheng Ren hadn't considered this at all; he felt a bit lost.

"This is Director Ma of the Affiliated Hospital's Medical Department. Director Ma, this is our hospital's Boss Zheng." Lin Ge introduced.

They shook hands, exchanged pleasantries; Zheng Ren wore his usual fake smile, saying insincere words, and walked into the Cardiothoracic Surgery with Lin Ge.

Though called Cardiothoracic Surgery, it actually consists of the Cardiology and Thoracic Surgery departments. The Cardiology wards have been occupied by Thoracic Surgery for more than half, but critical cardiothoracic cases still fall under Cardiology's management.

Who eats meat, who drinks soup—none of Zheng Ren's concern. Following Lin Ge, they arrived at the office of the Cardiothoracic Surgery.

"Boss Zheng, please wait a moment; I'll go call Director Tian." After saying that, Director Ma turned and went to the director's office.

Lin Ge's face looked somewhat grim, but he didn't speak.

Zheng Ren's mind was filled with the reconstructed images from the X-ray films, searching frame by frame for where the bullet might be.

As for Director Ma's not taking him to the director's office—this slight—Zheng Ren truly didn't care at all.

Lin Ge saw that Zheng Ren was very calm, and he felt a bit moved inside.

It's still smoother working with Boss Zheng; if it were a hot-tempered director, he'd already have resentment in his heart.

Even if he turned and left, Vice President Yuan couldn't say anything.

The Medical University Affiliated Hospital is the same; they've all knelt down, and although it's not Old Gu who came, they still shouldn't be so neglectful.

No matter how you say it, the fact that I came along also gives me some face.

Lin Ge didn't overestimate his own face; saying it's thin face just means taking it literally.

"Old Gu didn't come?" A voice came from not far away, and Lin Ge's heart skipped a beat.

"Boss Zheng? There's a Boss Zheng in the Cardiothoracic Surgery of 912?!"

"Director Ma, I never agreed to the consultation; if you want Old Gu, I'll accept that too." The voice grew closer, and a tall, slim person stepped forward first.

He didn't lower his volume, nor did he consider the idea of doctors coming to 912 for consultation; instead, he openly vented his dissatisfaction.

"Old Gu is unwell; he personally recommended Boss Zheng." Lin Ge went up to meet him and explained to Director Tian.

Director Tian is thin and tall; wearing a regular white coat, if it were a bit thinner or smaller, it would look like a shirt. If it's long enough, it becomes especially baggy, like a cassock.

He wore an oversized white coat resembling a cassock, making his anger somewhat amusing.

"Who are you!" Director Tian was clearly unhappy, glancing at Lin Ge.

"This is Director Lin of the 912 Medical Department." Director Ma hurriedly introduced, trying to smooth things over.

He had guessed that Director Tian would be unhappy.

Upon learning that the person from 912 wasn't Old Gu, he hesitated a bit, but since Director Tian didn't answer the phone, he feared trouble and went alone to speak with him.

But he didn't expect Director Tian to have such a temper; upon hearing that Old Gu hadn't come and that it was some Boss Zheng, he immediately flipped his lid.

Director Ma also felt awkward.

This matter has become a mess…

"Director Tian, this is…" Lin Ge began introducing according to the normal procedure. In the office, the team-leading professor and other doctors, seeing Zheng Ren was young, already harbored resentment.

"Boss Zheng?" Director Tian looked down at Zheng Ren from above and spoke contemptuously.

Zheng Ren isn't short, but facing Director Tian, who is nearly 1.9 meters tall, he still seemed inadequate.

"Director Tian, let me look at the films and the case notes." Zheng Ren completely missed the unfolding dispute before him; his mind kept reconstructing, reconstructing, reconstructing!

Everyone stared for a moment—such blatant disrespect, how could this Boss Zheng tolerate it? Or was he using indifference to the other side as a counterattack?

Director Tian gave Zheng Ren a vicious glance, beckoned with his hand, and a team-leading professor carrying the films and case notes walked up to Zheng Ren.

With a "pa" sound, the case file clip was thrown onto the table in front of Zheng Ren.

Lin Ge's face changed directly.

Director Ma also felt awkward; he inwardly cursed Director Tian. "You damn fool, giving 912 the cold shoulder is also to avoid losing face yourself."

What the hell is all this!

Because the injured person was a state-owned enterprise employee working overseas, after simple treatment locally, he eventually came to the capital.

The department placed great importance on this matter.

Overseas employees are those who risk their lives in a hail of gunfire to bring benefits to the country. The department issued a death order, sparing no expense to save them.

But Director Tian still couldn't find the bullet on his end; although the person was fine, the Medical University Affiliated Hospital administration couldn't sit still.

This morning, the Hospital Director personally issued an order to have someone come for a consultation.

Perhaps the Hospital Director was just saying that, but to Director Tian of cardiothoracic surgery, it felt like a denial of his professional ability.

But it's not acknowledged, and he can't do anything about it, after all the bullet can't be found.

MD! Section Chief Ma glared at Director Tian with hatred, silently cursing, 'You'll pay for this!' Once this is over, I'll start by reviewing your department's cases.

This month, if your department's case pass rate reaches 40%, I'll take your surname!
