Chapter 2244: with translation of chapter title

The surgery ended, Zheng Ren changed clothes and left the Operating Room.

"Boss, did you go scold Director Liu by pointing at his nose?" Su Yunxing asked eagerly.

"Scold him? Why would I scold him?" Zheng Ren didn't understand.

"Well... you wouldn't be discussing how to do prostate electrocautery surgery, would you?" Su Yun guessed the truth but still couldn't accept it.

"Sure, the technical details Director Liu mentioned in the Gengyishi are necessary, summarizing years of experience." Zheng Ren saw his Urology Department Skill Tree had grown, feeling pleased.

Although he didn't particularly like the Urology Department, the growth of the Skill Tree still made him happy.

"I really don't know what you're thinking." Su Yun looked at Zheng Ren contemptuously, "In the Gengyishi, I was still wondering how you provoked Director 912."

"I judged the patient cannot be treated conservatively." Zheng Ren said helplessly.

"Turns out it's really that simple; I thought you would... never mind, never mind." Su Yun lost interest.

He had no interest in how his boss judged that a bladder rupture could not be treated conservatively; that was the Urology Department's domain, unrelated to him.

Zheng Ren also didn't want to talk more about this; regarding System Space matters, the more you say, the more wrong.

He took out his phone, seeing the group chat full of nonsense; Chu Yanran and Chu Yan zhi were showing off that Director Pan wanted to take the whole department on an outing.

The outing site was a hot spring villa over a hundred li away; it is said that many stars can be seen there at night.

Several hundred group messages, Zheng Ren really couldn't be bothered to look.

His gaze lowered, he saw Xie Yiren's message.

【Zheng Ren, tonight my dad wants to treat the Medical Team to dinner.】

Zheng Ren's heart tightened; from Su Yun's mouth he learned that the negotiation side was nearly over. Ning Shu still had to return to Rongcheng next to handle the prosthesis matter.

Every time he thought of this, Zheng Ren felt happy; Xiao Yi Ren was coming back!

But before that, he still needed to communicate with his father-in-law and mother-in-law, making Zheng Ren feel tense.

"Boss, what's that expression?" Su Yun saw Zheng Ren holding his phone, walking slower and slower, and asked curiously.

But he immediately thought of something, laughed haha, put his arm around Zheng Ren's shoulder and said: "Boss, your attitude is wrong."

How?

You went into someone else's vegetable patch and dug up the freshest, tenderest cabbage; shouldn't you apologize to the owner?

……

Zheng Ren didn't like Su Yun's analogy.

"Let me give you some advice." Su Yun said with a smile, "Do you still remember in Germany?"

Hmm?

"Last time you left first, that was counted as you saving your life. Tonight at dinner, I estimate Ning Shu will have you drink alcohol."

Zheng Ren was speechless.

"Father-in-law judges a son-in-law's character mainly by how he acts after drinking too much." Su Yun continued his almost infinite theory, not knowing whether these words were hearsay or his own speculation.

Even he himself didn't know whether those theories were correct.

"I can't drink alcohol; after drinking I feel especially awful."

"So then, just don't speak recklessly after drinking. I tell you, Ning Shu's alcohol tolerance is deep; anyway, after several drinks I still haven't fathomed it. But for you, it doesn't matter. Someone who can't even handle one bottle of beer... hahaha."

Saying this, Su Yun shamelessly mocked Zheng Ren's alcohol tolerance.

That was unavoidable; Zheng Ren was also innocent and helpless.

"All right, all right." Su Yun patted Zheng Ren's shoulder, "Anyway, Ning Shu will leave tomorrow; if you get past this hurdle tonight, the world will be wide open."

"Wide open skies?" Thinking of how he stole someone else's baby bok choy and still has to live with the victim, Zheng Ren especially understood those ancient elopers.

Although unrelated, Zheng Ren's heart had already panicked and lost its composure.

"Mu Tao's side wants us to do surgery: there's one Intracardiac Intervention Surgery and six TIPS Surgeries." Su Yun then talked about the main point, but Zheng Ren no longer had the mood to listen.

"The day after tomorrow, weekend, an early morning flight to Pengcheng has been arranged."

"Hey, are you listening to me?"

"I'm listening; have the scans been sent over? Take a look when you have time." Zheng Ren said absentmindedly.

Father-in-law being at home really affects the mood.

"Cowardly." Su Yun said contemptuously, "Can't you be a bit tougher?"

"Can... sigh..."

"Boss, the most important thing is to win the mother-in-law's favor. As for the father-in-law, no matter how you act, he won't like you." Su Yun continued to advise Zheng Ren, steering the topic to an extreme corner.

"Um, why?" Zheng Ren regretted asking as soon as he said it.

"You dare not be a bit dumber?" Su Yun said, "I've seen many foreigners' photos where the father-in-law holds a gun and poses with the son-in-law."

……

"So, necessary respect is fine, but being overly fearful is unnecessary. Trying to please him is impossible; as long as you don't start a fight, it's okay. If you do fight, just go ahead and hit him—he definitely can't beat you."

"No need to argue with Ning Shu." Zheng Ren ignored Su Yun's last sentence.

"Just giving an example."

No matter what Su Yun said, Zheng Ren couldn't take it in; all the way back to the Intervention Department, after Su Yun pulled up the patient imaging data Mu Tao sent on the computer, Zheng Ren felt a bit better.

Looking at the scans, the surgery shouldn't be difficult. Specifically, TIPS Surgery is so familiar that no pre-op visit to the System Operating Room is needed. As for Intracardiac Intervention Surgery, we'll decide after seeing the patient.

Time passed quickly; after studying the patient's imaging data, it was already off-work time.

Together they went to the restaurant Ning Shu had booked; Zheng Ren remained silent all the way.

Xie Yiren knew what Zheng Ren was thinking, knew this guy was afraid, but also knew that pure comfort was useless.

He gently held his hand, silently comforting this coward.

Everyone from the Medical Team gathered, even Lin Ge came to join the fun.

The hall full of people, Zheng Ren sat beside Xie Ning, watching the father-in-law talk and laugh freely, exchanging cups, his manner calm and elegant, making everyone feel like they were basking in a spring breeze.

Zheng Ren feels that they could never do it in a lifetime, just like others watching them perform surgery.

At the table, there was no talk; Xie Ning also did not, as Su Yun had said, force Zheng Ren to drink alcohol. Only when they were halfway through the meal did they bring up the matter of the mechanical arm, and Zheng Ren then became a bit spirited.

According to Xie Ning and Su Yun's speculation, the acquired technique is still just one direction, but the chance of success is quite high.

When it finally matures, they can truly move the practitioner out of the operating room full of X-rays, and there is still at least one year's time.

This is already quite fast, and Zheng Ren isn't in a hurry either.

The gathering ended, and everyone left.

"You go ahead." Xie Ning smiled, "I'll take a leisurely walk with Zheng Ren and talk about the company's future."
