Chapter 218: with translation of chapter title

"You're too polite." Zheng Ren felt a stir inside, and said with a smile.

"The interventional surgery you performed today will have great guiding significance for your future work." Director Kong finally explained his purpose, "These few days I'd like to ask you to do a few more surgeries, is that convenient?"

Director Kong's attitude wasn't overly polite, but one could understand that being able to visit in person from the head of a department at a top-tier tertiary hospital in Di Du was already giving Zheng Ren plenty of face; if he were any more polite, it would be too fantastical.

"These few days? How many patients?" As soon as surgery was mentioned, Zheng Ren's eyes lit up.

"Director Kong, there's something that needs to be clarified beforehand." After saying just that, Su Yun, who had remained silent until then, suddenly spoke from behind Zheng Ren.

"Huh?" Director Kong paused for a moment; Zheng Ren appeared interested in his proposal, so why did the silent Su Yun have objections?

"I'm preparing the relevant research materials and have already started writing the paper. The new treatment method was pioneered by my Boss." Su Yun's gaze was sharp and piercing, utterly indifferent to the fact that the person seated before him was a full-fledged department head.

"Are you confident?" Director Kong wasn't angry at Su Yun's words; instead, he asked with keen interest.

The confidence he spoke of refers to a new surgical technique being invented, first published in some journals. As time passes, more and more doctors begin to adopt this new surgical method, and thus the procedure comes to be named after the surgeon.

Everyone present understands this… except Feng Xu Hui, the Manager hiding in the corner, who looks completely clueless and has no idea what Su Yun and Director Kong are talking about.

"I'm confident, and I'm quite certain it can be done." Su Yun answered firmly, "In the past month I've been researching interventional surgery—distinguishing malignant nodules from the transformation of cirrhotic nodules into small liver cancer. You know this has long been a tough problem in the field. I also only just clearly noticed that Zheng Lao Ban has found a certain method. This is a breakthrough; regarding everything about this research, whether differential diagnosis or treatment, I hope it will be named zheng."

Su Yun didn't say Zheng but zheng, which means he believes the surgical technique and treatment method Zheng Ren performed today will gain international recognition and become a standard textbook procedure.

This…

Director Kong hadn't previously thought so much either; no wonder he's the most outstanding young person in Du Du's cardiothoracic surgery department—even after returning to Hai Cheng, he's seen the world and stood on that stage, so his mind is broad, to an extent even Director Kong didn't anticipate.

Director Bao also froze, then immediately asked, "Xiao Su, do you have confidence?"

"What else?" Su Yun habitually brushed back his forehead black hair, "As an assistant, I must be flawless. If the Boss's surgical technique cannot be labeled with his name, that would be my dereliction of duty."

Zheng Ren hadn't thought that much; in his view, it was merely a fairly ordinary surgery at most. At most, he only needed to do a retrograde 64-slice three-dimensional reconstruction before the operation, and compare it with contrast-enhanced Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.

A novel technique? It simply doesn't exist in his mind.

"No problem." Director Kong realized this, but he didn't adopt the airs of an academic overlord looking down on the two youngsters; he laughed heartily, "There are so many hepatitis B patients nationwide, and not few similar cases. Our job is to treat disease and save people. This opportunity to gain fame and make a name for oneself naturally belongs to Doctor Zheng. As long as you have the ability, go ahead and do it. Tell me whatever you need me to do."

"Your lack of envy doesn't mean your subordinates aren't envious." Su Yun said coldly, "Of course, given their abilities, even three years wouldn't let them surpass me now. So I'm not worried."

"……" His words were spoken with full confidence, yet they cannot be refuted.

"Once these surgeries are done, I'll mail the article to the Willow Leaf Blade magazine. As long as the editor isn't blind, it will definitely be published."

"……" Director Bao and Director Kong aren't used to Su Yun's supremely confident, even somewhat narcissistic manner of speaking.

If someone else had said that, the two directors would likely have already flicked their sleeves and left.

But the speaker is Su Yun, a master's student who hasn't even graduated yet but has already published an article in the Willow Leaf Blade magazine—a prodigy capable of performing heart transplants on lab mice and providing postoperative care for 107 days.

His argument…… Director Kong, though a bit displeased, ultimately admitted that Su Yun was right.

Less than half of the doctors under him manage to graduate smoothly. Meanwhile, Su Yun treats the Willow Leaf Blade as his home.

The gap, the gap!

"What do you think, Old…… Doctor Zheng?" Director Kong was overwhelmed by the powerful aura emanating from Su Yun, almost forgetting to address Zheng Ren as Zheng Lao Ban.

"Director Kong, you're being too polite; it's just a few surgeries, no problem." Zheng Ren felt none of Su Yun's powerful aura, smiled faintly, and said, "Performing the surgery is secondary; preoperatively we need to do a 64-slice CT three-dimensional reconstruction and compare it with contrast-enhanced Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. In this regard, I already have some experience that isn't quite mature yet; we can discuss it together when the time comes."

"Contrast-enhanced Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and 64-slice CT compared?" Director Kong's mind immediately filled with countless images.

"Old Kong, let's talk again tomorrow…… no, make it the day after." Director Bao noticed Director Kong's thoughts drifting to the images, and immediately said.

"Why the day after?" Director Kong wished he could drag Zheng Ren to the CT Shi right now.

"Old Gu said Zheng Ren must rest here for two days; if he leaves during that period, I'll be held responsible." Director Bao gave a wry smile.

At this moment, Director Kong recalled that Zheng Ren was still running a fever today.

Indeed, it's not suitable to take him away.

But just leaving like that, Director Kong couldn't bear to part with him.

Originally, because Zheng Ren's last surgery was clean and neat, solving a difficult problem. But after Su Yun spoke, he realized this was a novel method for differentiating and treating cirrhotic nodules versus small liver cancer.

This damn thing's significance just got huge!

Director Kong already regretted agreeing so quickly; if the article were published in Willow Leaf Blade, having him as a co-corresponding author would be nice.

After chatting a few more words, Director Bao pulled the reluctant Director Kong out of the private room.

Zheng Ren saw the two off, then asked, "Su Yun, are you serious?"

"Of course, don't you know what you're doing?" Su Yun countered.

"Treating disease and saving lives."

"……" Su Yun felt like kicking Zheng Ren, but thought even if he did it probably wouldn't help, "Boss, let me tell you, once written as an article, I guarantee it will definitely be published in Willow Leaf Blade."

"Why?"

"Because, I am Su Yun."

…………

The drawback of not having a draft came out; last night I did the final proofread, uploaded, went to the draft box, and following my old habit, I absentmindedly clicked the 2 a. m. update. I read one chapter's update, waited for the other friends, sorry…… and moreover, when uploading this morning, there was still one chapter unmarked (3/5).

Since the start of the book, I've been envisioning this scene: facing an awesome department head, Su Yun stands behind Zheng Ren and says, "This is my boss, Zheng Ren; I am his assistant."

I think this passage is great, so I've endured many readers dropping the book. Sobbing, I'll try again—I'll definitely write Su Yun as a hideous jerk, though initially I meant to make him just plain ugly, but the previous book's editor didn't sign the contract. What a pity.

That's all the rambling. Hope you enjoyed reading it, Jiu Gong~~~
