Chapter 208: 0203 Even the great Chengdu couldn't change this personality (5/5)

Zheng Ren used his right hand and his slightly inconvenient left hand to feel along, stroking the patient's intestine; he cut, separated, and removed one polyp after another.

Wang Zong noticed that the polyps Zheng Ren removed all had stalks longer than 10 cm.

In Zheng Ren's judgment, the longer the stalk, the higher the short-term risk of recurrent intestinal intussusception, strangulation, and necrosis.

For polyps that posed little risk, Zheng Ren did not show off by removing them; he simply ignored them.

This made Wang Zong feel even more favorably toward Zheng Ren, who genuinely considered the patient's welfare rather than trying to show off in front of him.

Zheng Lao Ban is not easy, Wang Zong thought suddenly.

Afterwards he suddenly realized why Zheng Ren's left hand looked somewhat inconvenient.

Zheng Lao Ban is still somewhat injured; how could I have him operate? Wang Zong began to blame himself.

But could I do it myself? Wang Zong could never bring himself to say that.

Seeing Zheng Ren's slightly awkward posture, the surgery proceeded smoothly—feeling, cutting, separating—each step clean and decisive; he thought he could not achieve that.

For the patient's sake, he should still trouble Zheng Lao Ban, Wang Zong finally thought.

Forty minutes later, the pathology basins had been changed twice, each filled with long-stalked polyps; they looked like a mountain of meat.

"All right." Zheng Ren put down the needle holder and the scissors held in reverse grip, palms up.

"Boss, this is Di Du; you didn't bring an instrument nurse." After a few seconds, the instrument nurse gave no response; Su Yun lowered her head and spoke softly.

"……" Wang Zong burst into tears upon hearing Su Yun's words.

No wonder he's the boss—he even has his own dedicated instrument nurse……

"Rinse with warm saline, use the suction device, put on a glove." Zheng Ren said gently.

"Zheng Lao Ban, please go rest; I'll handle this side." Wang Zong said immediately.

Zheng Ren thought and said, "Then thank you for the trouble."

Su Yun glanced over and immediately stepped down.

"Uh……" Wang Zong really cried this time, Yun Ge'er—I had Zheng Lao Ban step down to rest; why won't you help me?

Although only the abdominal closure remained, surgery isn't a one-person job.

"You want me to be the assistant?" Su Yun gave Wang Zong a surprised look.

"You, scrub in, come close the abdomen." Wang Zong had no choice but to let her step up again.

This Yun Ge'er is legendary; Wang Zong asked himself whether he could afford him.

Leaving aside the distant, just saying the boss he follows looks so young, his surgery is incredibly smooth.

Even one hand is stronger than mine……

For this rare P-J syndrome, they not only can differentiate it but also perform surgery, using an open-abdomen polyp removal technique that had been discarded for years.

People always need a bit of backbone.

Wang Zong is a person with exceptional backbone.

"You guessed right again." Arriving at the changing room, Su Yun glanced at Zheng Ren and said seriously.

"I suppose so." Zheng Ren, already immune to Su Yun's trash talk, replied indifferently.

"There's a lunch gathering; are you going?" Su Yun glanced at her phone and asked.

Zheng Ren was pondering whether to use the free time to go out with Su Yun to buy something for Xie Yiren… and others to bring back. Hearing Su Yun say that, he hesitated a moment and said, "I won't go; I'll go to the CT room to review the films—you do your thing."

"What a boring person." Su Yun said, "Is this your first time in Di Du?"

"When I was in school, I took the train and transferred in Di Du." Zheng Ren said, "Back then there were no direct trains into Sichuan."

"Not entering Sichuan—it's hard to imagine that studying and interning in Chengdu could produce such a personality of yours." Su Yun burst out, "Your wooden personality—can't even the great Chengdu change it?"

"Me?" Zheng Ren replied while carefully changing clothes, "I'm all right; I wouldn't call myself wooden."

"Wood never admits it's wood."

The two chatted a bit more like they were bickering, then after changing clothes Su Yun left directly, saying she had several lunch engagements to attend and not to wait for her for dinner.

Zheng Ren thought and felt it would be better to stay here and wait a bit for Wang Zong.

Having performed their surgery, one shouldn't leave without saying goodbye.

Half an hour later, Wang Zong stepped down. Coming to the changing room, he saw Zheng Ren sitting on a bare chair reading a novel, somewhat unexpectedly.

"You're down, Wang Zong." Zheng Ren greeted with a smile.

"You……"

"Su Yun has a lunch engagement and left; I'll wait here a moment to see if anything else needs attention on this side." Zheng Ren smiled and said, "I don't know the protocols here."

"Nothing much." Wang Zong quickly laughed, "What do you plan to eat for lunch?"

"That's fine; I'll go to the CT room at noon to review the films, and I have surgery tomorrow." Zheng Ren said.

"The research thing? I didn't even know it existed until after Fang Lin's incident; I inquired and heard you were saved by him, only then realizing you're here to participate in research." Wang Zong said.

"Not participating in research; Professor Pei gave me a slot to come here and broaden my horizons." Zheng Ren said politely.

"You say that." Wang Zong chuckled, "With your surgical skill……"

Saying this, Wang Zong suddenly realized that the research seemed to be in urology, and supposedly the surgery was an interventional procedure.

But having just seen Chief Zheng perform an extremely old general-surgery technique with consummate skill, Wang Zong believed Zheng Ren's intestinal surgery level was certainly above his own; as for whether it surpassed his own boss, that's hard to judge.

This is just self-consolation; Wang Zong knows that, setting aside other surgeries, the intestinal polyp removal just performed would definitely be done worse by his own boss than by Zheng Lao Ban.

But…… does research relate to general-surgery surgery? It seems not.

Wang Zong felt a bit confused.

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." Zheng Ren said politely with a smile, "Hope to meet again."

"Zheng Lao Ban, leave contact details." Wang Zong, in a daze, almost forgot to get Zheng Ren's WeChat and phone number.

Zheng Ren and Wang Zong exchanged phone numbers, added each other on WeChat, and then slowly walked out of the operating room.

"Chief Zheng, you're out." Feng Xu Hui arrived beside Zheng Ren at the first moment, like Zheng Ren stepping into the sun and his shadow appearing instantly.

"Well, Manager Feng, no need to be so polite, you go about your business, I have nothing on my end. If anything comes up, I'll definitely call you." Zheng Ren said.

"Saying that, taking good care of you is my duty." Feng Xu Hui lowered his posture, sincerely said: "I'm just afraid Chief Zheng might find me bothersome."

Zheng Ren had never encountered a factory sales manager who was in a hurry, didn't know how to handle this relationship. Seeing Feng Xu Hui's sincerity, he nodded.

"What would you like to eat for lunch?" Feng Xu Hui asked.

"Let's go to the snack stall outside the Hospital and have a bowl of noodles." Zheng Ren said: "I'm treating you, don't fight me for it."

Feng Xu Hui thought, since Chief Zheng had already treated him to a meal with Big Dong, how could he be short on this bowl of noodles.

However, being able to have a meal with Zheng Ren is better than not being able to get a seat at the table. Since Zheng Ren said so, after declining twice, the two headed straight to the snack stall outside the Hospital.
