Chapter 2291: with translation of title

Zheng Ren sat on the chair by the window, looking at the Fifth Edition of External Medicine.

This is Zheng Lao Ban's habit, including the newly arrived Lin Yuan and Gu Xiao Ran, who have already grown accustomed to their boss sitting there quietly like a sculpture.

Sometimes when Zheng Lao Ban is not around, they feel empty inside.

【They say, quickly write a poem……】

Zheng Ren's phone rang, and after a full three seconds, he picked it up.

"Director."

"I'm in the office."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

After saying that, Zheng Ren hung up the phone, stood up, and walked out.

"What does the director want with you?" Su Yun suddenly raised her head and asked mysteriously.

"I don't know." Zheng Ren shook his head.

"Section Chief Mao has severe depressive disorder, you know?" Su Yun asked quietly.

"Don't spread rumors, depression is serious." Zheng Ren dismissed it, "People think those with depression are just being dramatic, but it's not like that; this illness is truly severe."

"Hey, why are you lecturing me here for no reason?" Su Yun said unhappily.

"I'm going to the director's office." After saying that, Zheng Ren walked out.

Su Yun followed behind, replied to a message, and then also walked out.

"Section Chief Mao's severe depressive disorder has already been consulted, and Director Mei of Du Du Psychiatric Hospital seems to be in the consultation." Su Yun continued gossiping quietly.

"Whether they consult or not makes no difference; severe depressive disorder is hard to treat."

"I heard Director Mei has a project on severe depressive disorder, probably involving psychological counseling plus medication, but the specific details are unclear."

Zheng Ren shook his head, wanting to treat severe depressive disorder but it's hard. When patients flare up, some exhibit extremely strong feelings of inferiority, some…… in short, it's very troublesome.

Some patients even commit suicide.

Section Chief Mao probably has been bedridden for a long time, which led to the severe depressive disorder. Sigh, this person, when unlucky, seems to contract every illness; Zheng Ren sighed inwardly.

However, there's no particularly good way to deal with this illness; Zheng Ren didn't think much of it and came to Director Kong's office door.

"Knock knock knock~" Zheng Ren lightly knocked on the door.

"Please come in." Director Kong's voice came out.

Zheng Ren pushed the door open and walked in, with Su Yun shamelessly following behind.

"Have a seat." Director Kong said familiarly, smiling at Zheng Ren.

"Director, what do you need from me?" Zheng Ren asked.

"Guess who just came to see me?" Director Kong asked with a smile.

"Director Mei of the psychiatric hospital?" Su Yun blurted out.

Director Kong was taken aback, then smiled helplessly.

Regarding Section Chief Mao's situation, many people in the hospital know; experts are currently consulting on that case, and as for how to diagnose and treat it, Director Kong thinks it's best not to get involved.

After all, there are other matters involved; saying too much is not good, as it gives people the feeling of watching a joke.

"Yesterday afternoon, Wenhua came to see me; I noticed his emotions were a bit off, so I told him to think it over before speaking again." Director Kong said.

"Huh?" Zheng Ren wondered.

"That Zhao Wenhua…… Director, to be honest, I can't stand him." Su Yun said, "What does he want from you? Or is it about that Bed Position? It's just one Bed Position—do you really need to say that?"

Director Kong looked at Zheng Ren and Su Yun's expressions, paused a few seconds, then said: "Yes, and also no."

Su Yun immediately stopped speaking.

Director Kong's words had hidden meaning; Zheng Ren and Su Yun couldn't figure out what it was.

"Wenhua has a proposal; he felt embarrassed to tell you directly, so he first reported it to me."

Su Yun curled the corner of her mouth, looking disdainful.

"Little Su, don't be like that." Director Kong chuckled: "When you first arrived, I faced great pressure to secure several Bed Positions; some comrades had objections, which is unavoidable."

Director Kong meant that; Zheng Ren and Su Yun understood the meaning. Actually, it's no wonder— as a department head, he wouldn't want his department to be thrown into chaos by Zheng Lao Ban.

Zheng Ren smiled and said, "Director, what exactly is the matter?"

"Wenhua said he's not taking other patients lately; the Bed Positions will belong to your medical team before the Nobel Prize review results come out."

"……"

Faced with this big cake, Zheng Ren and Su Yun both froze for a moment.

Because of the 912 Bed Position limit, the community hospital can't accommodate enough patients; Zheng Ren also has no good solution for this. Faced with the enhanced task, he can only strengthen cooperation with the Orchid Department side.

Zhao Wenhua's move is like sending a pillow to someone who's dozing off.

However, given Zheng Ren's understanding of Zhao Wenhua, it's hard to believe he'd make such a choice.

Seeing Zheng Ren and Su Yun silent, Director Kong laughed heartily and said: "Zheng Lao Ban, you're doing a thorough job at work, aren't you?"

Zheng Ren felt embarrassed, wondering if this counts as digging a corner from Director Kong's wall.

"Director, I……"

"It's a good thing; I won't beat around the bush." Director Kong smiled: "Wenhua means that before there's any news about the Nobel Prize, the Bed Positions are yours, and he can also join in doing TIPS Surgery."

"He probably wants the boss to give him a few surgeries to perform." Su Yun muttered quietly.

This is a clear move; no need to overthink what it means. Director Kong didn't explain, just looked at Zheng Ren.

"Fine, let's settle it like that." Zheng Ren said with a smile: "Director, as long as you have no objection, it's fine."

"Boss, you're speaking backwards. It should be that if the director has no objection, then this is settled." Su Yun said.

What he said made sense, but Zheng Ren just smiled and didn't elaborate further.

Director Kong also doesn't care much about these details; Zheng Lao Ban is a standard surgery dog, and he knows this very well.

Seeing Zheng Ren agree, Director Kong laughed and said: "Then I'll let Wen Hua know, this batch of patients being discharged, his side will also start admitting patients with end-stage liver cirrhosis accompanied by portal hypertension."

Good." Zheng Ren said.

Is the Bed Position sufficient? In a few months, otherwise I won't admit liver cancer patients on my side either." Director Kong asked.

Having too many Bed Positions is also unnecessary; we can't keep up with the Shou Bing." Zheng Ren said: "Director, don't put pressure on me. The Shou Bing volume mainly relies on the resident doctors going back to do it; that side is the bulk."

Zheng Lao Ban, I've been paying attention to the Nobel Prize matter, I didn't dare to put pressure on you, I didn't even dare to ask." Director Kong said seriously: "Now it's a good time to bring this up, by the way, what's the likelihood of winning within five years?"

Nobel Prize Nomination, nominated and awarded in the same year, this probability is not high. Even many top-tier figures, for example Einstein, nominated dozens of times, awarded once.

There are also many scientists who have been runners-up dozens of times; when you name them, they are all famous figures, to say they are runners-up is to say they are runners-up.

Director Kong's expectation of winning within five years is already asking for a lot. The fairy tale of winning this year, Director Kong never considered it. In his view, being able to win within five years would already be a miracle.
