Chapter 181: with translation of chapter title

0177 Zheng Lao Ban?

Red flag car entered the sea of cars in Di Du, moving slowly.

It took nearly an hour to arrive at a hospital between the Fourth and Fifth West Ring Roads.

The car didn't go in the front door but entered through the back, driving straight to a row of old small buildings at the northwest corner.

Although it was already early winter, the vines still grew strongly, a expanse of greenish-yellow in the vastness.

"Living here, you're not far from the research institute; it's very convenient."

The red flag car stopped in front of a small building, and Professor Pei said gently.

Feng Xu Hui followed the red flag car to the small building; as soon as he entered the hospital's back door, his expression became more and more remarkable.

This is hardly a guesthouse; it's clearly a place where dragons lie hidden and tigers crouch. Countless legends surfaced in his mind.

In some year, someone had been treated here; in some year, a doctor was recruited into the health group and also lived here.

Although not as luxurious as a five-star hotel, if Feng Xu Hui were to choose, he would definitely not hesitate to pick this place.

As he followed the red flag car closer to that inconspicuous small building, Feng Xu Hui's eyes grew brighter and his grip tightened.

He indeed had the protagonist's halo; on his first business trip, in that godforsaken little place in Hai Cheng, he actually encountered a rising new star!

This luck—no one can match it!

He must seize the opportunity; Feng Xu Hui secretly made up his mind.

Checking into the guesthouse requires not only an ID card but also an introduction letter, an old-fashioned item.

Fortunately, Professor Pei had already prepared an introduction certificate for Zheng Ren; after completing the cumbersome check-in procedures, Professor Pei bade farewell to Zheng Ren, saying they would meet at the research institute early tomorrow morning.

The Hospital has a national-level experimental base, called the research institute; this is no secret, and Zheng Ren had long expected to do research there.

After seeing Professor Pei off, Zheng Ren saw Feng Xu Hui carrying Zheng Ren and Su Yun's luggage upstairs, refusing to let go no matter what.

Zheng Ren also felt helpless; despite being capable, he still needed others' help.

"Just get used to it." Su Yun seemed to see Zheng Ren's thoughts, lowering her head and saying: "Being able to live here is your ability. Based on that, your importance in Manager Feng's mind has at least increased by two orders of magnitude."

"Oh." Zheng Ren didn't care how Manager Feng viewed him, nor was he curious about anything special here; he acknowledged and followed Feng Xu Hui's steps upstairs.

The building has only two floors, its architecture heavy and simple, immediately evoking a former Soviet vibe.

Although it looks old, it is actually very clean and fresh.

Feng Xu Hui escorted Zheng Ren and Su Yun upstairs, first making dinner plans; after Zheng Ren politely declined, he repeatedly reminded them to call if anything came up.

Zheng Ren was used to his quiet, solitary days, so Manager Feng's enthusiasm was a bit unfamiliar; still, he agreed and saw Feng Xu Hui off.

After tidying up briefly, Zheng Ren took a shower and pulled out a urology systemic anatomy text from his luggage to study first.

He hadn't read many pages when he heard voices from the next room.

That guy Su Yun couldn't have just arrived in Di Du and already flirted with the front desk girl, could he?

Zheng Ren felt no envy, only that causing trouble would be disrespectful to Professor Pei, so he opened the door and took a peek.

He guessed wrong; they were several people around thirty, one of whom wore a white coat with a red stethoscope slung over his shoulder, looking quite flashy.

Su Yun didn't let them in either; they just stood at the doorway chatting.

What's going on?

Seeing Zheng Ren pop his head out, Su Yun pointed at him and said, "This is my new boss; if you have anything, go find him, don't bother me."

"Hey, Su Yun, after not seeing you for years, you're still as fickle as a dog—changing faces faster than flipping pages." The doctor with the stethoscope frowned, "When you left, you said you'd go back to being a doctor, and if unhappy, open a pet clinic. In less than two years, you've come back swinging—who are you showing off for?"

"Come on, let's go get a bite to eat; it's been ages since we last saw each other, you stubborn guy." Another person in a hoodie said.

"With your stuck-up attitude, claiming you found a new boss in Hai Cheng? There are plenty of bosses in Di Du—you'd need a dozen or more to match yours, yet I've never seen you with anyone. Bah! Let's hurry out and get together."

Su Yun remained silent, his black hair fluttering above his forehead.

Zheng Ren realized at once that this must be an old friend of Su Yun from Di Du; somehow hearing he was coming to Di Du, they rushed over immediately to find him.

Really strange—that spiteful, effeminate guy actually has friends.

Zheng Ren, not usually one to calculate, never imagined that such a blockhead as himself could gain new friends, let alone… perhaps… a girlfriend.

"Boss, are you coming?" Su Yun asked.

In the instant Su Yun spoke, Zheng Ren seemed to see a smug smile at the corner of his mouth.

What a strange expression; Zheng Ren couldn't grasp its meaning. Besides, why did he call Zheng Ren boss?

Normally, medical graduate students call their advisor boss, though some say teacher or master, depending on the advisor's personal preference.

But the "boss" Su Yun referred to looks under thirty, seemingly younger than Su Yun.

This guy is getting better and better at spouting nonsense.

"Hey, are you going or not? If you keep stalling, don't blame me for my merciless Heavenly Horse Meteor Fist!" The red stethoscope jokingly punched Su Yun in the chest.

Zheng Ren shook his head, about to go back to reading, but Su Yun rushed over and grabbed him.

"Let's go eat." Su Yun said.

"You guys go; I'll read." Zheng Ren refused.

But unable to resist the enthusiastic invitations of the other guys, they were also curious why Su Yun would call this young man boss yet treat him without the deference and politeness due a boss.

Zheng Ren, helpless, agreed.

Fortunately, the system provided three thousand cases of prostate sectional anatomy experience, so he wasn't afraid of tomorrow's lab Q&A.

In Zheng Ren's view, going to the lab tomorrow is like a thesis defense; if he passes, he can stay and help out.

He also didn't know exactly what to do.

It's still early; Zheng Ren guessed they'd first find a place to sit and chat.

The group, lively and noisy, was about to leave when suddenly a phone rang.

The red stethoscope pulled out his phone, answered, said a few words, then apologetically said: "Someone from my hometown came to see a doctor; we'd agreed on morning, but they didn't arrive until Afternoon. I'll make arrangements and change clothes; you wait for me."

"Let's go together; it's been ages since we last hung out." Su Yun, indifferent, pulled Zheng Ren and followed the others behind to the outpatient building.

……

Di Du Hospital, a sea of people.

Zheng Ren had once heard that here a specialist appointment ticket scalped by touts could be resold for 3000-5000 yuan.

However, with the high-speed rail and civil aviation transport networks becoming increasingly developed today, high prices cannot stop people's cherishing of life, and more and more people are flocking to Di Du to seek medical treatment.

Moving through the crowd, arriving at the outpatient department on the fourth floor, a red stethoscope phoned to locate the fellow villager who wanted to see a doctor.

That was a girl as thin as a skeleton, estimated to be about 22、3 years old, but her thinness was chilling.

Zheng Ren saw the condition prompt in the upper right corner of his field of vision, and felt puzzled.
