Chapter 1844: with translation of chapter title

Liu Xu zhi finally arrived in Di Du.

Su Yun first rented him a place to live, right next to the Liver and Gallbladder (department) of Di Du. Children's schooling, wife's work—these things need to be gradually sorted out; they can't be rushed.

From the border town of Xilin Town, Liu Xu zhi arrived in Di Du, marveling at how twisted and bizarre his life's circumstances were. Although he had achieved nothing in his life, it seemed that things would be different starting now.

That evening, at a simple welcome banquet, he met Lin JiaoJiao.

He had seen her before, but Liu Xu zhi never imagined that Lin JiaoJiao would become his "Boss".

According to Su Yun's plan, Liu Xu zhi will be responsible for all of Lin JiaoJiao's weight-loss interventional surgeries on her side.

The atmosphere at the table was not very lively.

Liu Xu zhi knew that Zheng Lao Ban himself was unwilling to say anything. But he was cold on the outside, warm inside; when Liu Xu zhi had a heart attack in the bitter cold, Zheng Lao Ban didn't hesitate and flew straight to Xilin Town to perform Shou Bing on him.

No matter how pleasant the words at the table, they are merely icing on the cake; adding more flowers still lacks the substance of giving charcoal in the snow.

Moreover, Zheng Lao Ban saved his life.

Su Yun kept organizing drinks, and with Lin JiaoJiao's skillful sleeves and dancing, the scene was not awkward at all.

Liu Xu zhi was a bit cautious; although everyone present was familiar, he had just come to Di Du for the first time, and he still had no idea how to make a living there.

Seizing an opportunity, Liu Xu zhi asked: "Director Lin, I count as a doctor in Di Du's Liver and Gallbladder department; performing left Shou Bing at a private hospital—is that really okay?"

Zhu Liangchen laughed: "The state is now calling for more private practice—you didn't know?"

"I know, I know." Liu Xu zhi hurriedly replied.

He is his own director; Liu Xu zhi understood that in his heart.

Su Yun saw Liu Xu zhi's respect mixed with humility and found it funny. But Old Liu has always been like this—cowed for years, probably unable to change.

"It's fine, Old Liu." Su Yun laughed: "Just do your job well. How is the assessment for the junior doctors on your side, Director Zhu?"

"Dr. Liu follows me and counts as part of my team. You don't need to worry about patients; in the morning you perform Shou Bing on my side, finish the Shou Bing, then in the afternoon you can go to Xiao Lin's side." Zhu Liangchen laughed: "Working like this is tough—can Dr. Liu hold up?"

"Yes, yes, thank you, Director." Liu Xu zhi expressed his gratitude without hesitation.

Lin JiaoJiao was actually somewhat dissatisfied; she had originally thought that Zheng Lao Ban would personally take charge of the weight-loss surgery.

But she didn't expect that an old man would be dumped on her.

Seeing his humble demeanor, Lin JiaoJiao felt somewhat helpless, doubtful in her heart.

Can he really do it?

But this doubt can only be temporarily set aside; if there are problems we'll discuss them later, given Zheng Lao Ban's character, he certainly wouldn't take the benefits and deny responsibility.

"Director Zhu, do you have patients waiting for weight-loss surgery on your side?" Zheng Ren asked.

"Yes, three, preparing for Shou Bing tomorrow." Zhu Liangchen laughed.

Since Zheng Ren performed a few Shou Bing on him, Zhu Liangchen has almost completely mastered the key points of gastric fundus, gastric left artery embolization Shou Bing.

Actually it's not mastery; it's just a thin layer of window paper that breaks with a poke.

Just don't do the embolization too meticulously—that saying is eye-opening and ear-opening.

The development of this business in Di Du Liver and Gallbladder Interventional Department Two is proceeding quickly, and this is still being done on a limited basis. If it were opened up fully, Zhu Liangchen feels he could easily open his own private hospital alone.

Opening a private hospital is merely about making money; Zhu Liangchen has already passed that stage.

What he pursues is reputation within the industry, as well as the role he plays in the development of Interventional Medicine Discipline in Huaxia.

This is Jianghu status, it's leaving a name in history, and making money belongs to two different categories.

Furthermore, Lin JiaoJiao is connected to Kong Lao Da; people have always been busy with her, and directly taking the ready-made benefits on our side looks somewhat unsightly.

However, hearing Zheng Lao Ban's words, it seems he wants to go tomorrow and perform a few Shou Bing on Dr. Liu; Zhu Liangchen immediately took it to heart.

"Zheng Lao Ban, are you preparing to come to my place tomorrow?" Zhu Liangchen laughed.

"Hmm." Zheng Ren nodded and said, "Is your side convenient?"

"Convenient, convenient!" Zhu Liangchen quickly said: "Welcome your coming and guidance."

"……" Liu Xu zhi was stunned when he heard the strange term "coming and guidance".

Usually it's only when a certain professor goes to a lower-level hospital to perform Shou Bing that the hospital will use the term "coming and guidance".

Di Du Liver and Gallbladder, it's probably one of the nation's top hospitals.

"Coming and guidance"? Is that perhaps a bit excessive?

"Director Zhu, you're being too polite." Zheng Ren said: "Let Old Liu handle all of tomorrow's Shou Bing; I'll go and perform a few on him to see his level. However, I still have urgent matters on hand—I don't know when I'll be able to leave. If I have time, I'll rush over."

Zhu Liangchen nodded while smiling, looked at Liu Xu zhi, and said: "Dr. Liu, you must cherish the opportunity for Zheng Lao Ban to guide the Shou Bing. I've been begging Zheng Lao Ban to perform a few Shou Bing on me for a long time."

Upon hearing that, Liu Xu zhi didn't know how to respond.

"That's too heavy." Zheng Ren said: "Old Liu still has the ability—he can figure out how to do TIPS Surgery by watching videos himself; Weight Loss Surgery should be no problem. But with you overseeing things at Di Du Liver and Gallbladder, I'm reassured. However, if he goes to Sister Lin's side, he'll be on his own; it's still better to check."

"Zheng Lao Ban is right." Zhu Liangchen raised his cup: "Dr. Liu, let's have one! Zheng Lao Ban helped you onto the horse, yet there's still a long way to go—truly..."

"Forget it, drink less." Zheng Ren said softly: "Old Liu had a heart attack a few days ago; if he drinks too much alcohol now, don't cause any trouble."

Zhu Liangchen chuckled, put down his cup, and began following Zheng Ren's topic to talk about the live broadcast from a few days ago.

Liu Xu zhi held the wine cup in his hand, and was left speechless.

Is this the atmosphere of Di Du?

He felt it wasn't.

Although drinking becomes rarer the further south you go, as long as everyone is happy drinking, it's uncommon to see people pressing drinks like they do in Xilin Town.

Yet Director Zhu raised the wine, yet didn't let me drink more, and Zheng Lao Ban's light sentence just blocked the wine for me?

What is this?

This is Jianghu status!

It seems Director Zhu can't even lift his head in front of Zheng Lao Ban. This is too strange—how could it be like this?

Everything at the wine table is completely different from what Liu Xu zhi imagined.

Originally I thought Zheng Lao Ban had transferred me to work in Di Du at great cost.

But Liu Xu zhi, based on the situation, made a "bold" guess; it's possible that Zheng Lao Ban really just casually said a few words and got the matter done.

What he himself saw as a matter bigger than heaven, Zheng Lao Ban merely tossed off a light remark.

People, eh, really are different; Liu Xu zhi felt deeply moved.

Recalling scene after scene from Pengxi Xiang, he felt somewhat at a loss. Back then, Liu Xu zhi never imagined that the young doctor performing Shou Bing in Pengxi Xiang would actually be a top-tier figure in the national Interventional Medicine Discipline.

Even Zhu Liangchen, Director Zhu of the liver and gallbladder department in Di Du, unconsciously lowered his head before him.
