Chapter 2806: 2703 A Story-filled Corporate Drone (Alliance Lord Jiangnan Spring River Water Bonus Chapter 1)

There weren't many people handling hospital admissions, since it was past peak hour. Looking for one person among dozens was difficult for Zheng Ren, but for someone like Yu Zong, an ordinary person, it was just that.

"Xue Chu!" Yu Zong didn't go to the queue spot, but after looking around, he walked straight to a row of chairs.

Zheng Ren looked closely, trying to make the mosaic a bit thinner.

A handsome young man sat in the chair, looking about twenty-something; his looks were slightly inferior to Su Yun's, but not by much. Only his posture in the chair was a little odd, which Zheng Ren guessed was due to urinary retention and a foreign body in the urethra. His expression was somewhat indifferent, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

And the young man named Xue Chu had a patch of bruising on his face, possibly caused by a blunt instrument.

What's going on? Zheng Ren glanced at his system panel, and it wasn't much different from the known condition.

Foreign body in the urethra, urinary retention, facial trauma. As for the color on his system panel, it was even lighter than that of many relatives of patients currently completing admission procedures—youthful bodies are just good.

"Hey, Xue Chu! Have you finished your admission procedures?" Yu Zong strode up and asked.

"Huh?" The young man lifted his head, his eyes devoid of any luster, staring blankly at Yu Zong.

"Uh..." Yu Zong was also a bit dazed—what's going on? It's just a foreign body in the urethra, not prostate or bladder cancer or some malignant disease; there's no need to be so depressed.

"Buddy, it's not a big deal." Su Yun showed a friendly, kind smile and said softly, "Want a smoke? Let's find a place to have a cigarette."

The patient might be psychologically resisting, and perhaps a bit ashamed, Zheng Ren guessed. But… dragging it like this isn't right—there are nine nails in his urethra; if any punctures it and causes secondary damage, that'd be screwed.

Xue Chu stared blankly as he lifted his head; Su Yun directly pulled him up and said with a smile, "It's fine—we see this kind of thing all the time in the hospital; just don't take it to heart. Remove them, and you'll be discharged in three days; no one will know."

His voice was pressed low, making it somewhat troublesome for Zheng Ren to hear.

But the young man showed no emotion, woodenly following Su Yun out.

After going out, Zheng Ren took off his white coat. After all, wearing a white coat to the outdoor smoking area isn't good—there's a lot of foot traffic, which is slightly inconvenient.

But Su Yun didn't take Xue Chu to the smoking room; instead, he walked a few more minutes to a secluded corner.

He took out a cigarette from his pocket, flicked his wrist, and a cigarette jumped out of the pack like a little sprite.

"Have a smoke, relax, there's no one here." Su Yun laughed, "Life has no insurmountable obstacles; your attitude is wrong."

The young man stared blankly at that cigarette, dazed for a full five seconds.

In those brief five seconds, the air was filled with a sense of embarrassment.

Only when he reached out and took that cigarette did Zheng Ren breathe a sigh of relief. Human nature is complex, or perhaps some people have thin skins and don't want to face it. Originally it wasn't a big deal…… wrong—if this patient's urethra gets punctured by a nail, it becomes a big deal, and we still need to rush to the operating room.

Don't give up; if something worse happened, it would be meaningless. He's so young, it's not like he's gone astray.

Zheng Ren was thinking randomly; Su Yun smiled, shared a cigarette, lit it, and blew a perfect smoke ring, pleased with his control, and said with a smile, "You've got a glass heart—why are you so fragile?"

The young man remained stunned, as if he hadn't heard Su Yun's slightly sharp words.

"It's not like he went astray; it's just a minor surgery—why can't he get over it?" Su Yun asked, "Are you afraid your parents will find out?"

Silence; waiting for Su Yun's response was still silence.

"Hey, buddy, you're wrong about this." Su Yun, lacking his usual sharp sarcasm, spoke gently to the patient: "Face problems directly; it's just a trivial matter, yet you've made it seem like the end of the world—really?"

Zheng Ren silently watched Su Yun; seeing him take a deep drag of smoke, lightly exhale—not blowing it at his own forehead hair, but blowing it toward the man named Xue Chu.

When did this guy start blowing smoke at me? He must have turned against me, Zheng Ren thought.

Should I also learn hypnosis or something? I've never paid attention to the mental therapy skill tree; I could dump a bunch of skill points, or wait for the next peak skill book and instantly become top-tier, so I wouldn't have to worry about Su Yun hypnotizing me.

Zheng Ren was thinking wildly.

"Being alive is really pointless." The man's gaze was a bit unfocused, but the dead gray inside gradually faded, and two tears fell.

"Go on, we're both doctors—this counts as taking a medical history." Su Yun said with a smile, "Keeping it bottled up easily makes a person break down. It's not a big deal; I'm telling you not to worry—I once had a patient who stuffed a yellow eel into his rectum, biting through his intestines."

As he spoke, the young man's facial expression changed slightly, as if he'd remembered something.

Su Yun immediately stopped and carefully observed the man's expression.

"I chose the iron nail over the yellow eel." The man took a puff of cigarette, no longer like a block of wood, gaining a bit of liveliness.

"Uh…… you're pretty harsh on yourself." Su Yun said.

"There's nothing I can do; the company fired me." The young man said blankly, a sentence unrelated to the urethral foreign body.

"……"

Zheng Ren, Su Yun, and Yu Zong all stared—this thing belongs to fetish play, related to the company? Su Yun, with a quicker mind, guessed it might be a young master-type occupation.

The young man's psyche opened a crack; thereafter things improved, and he continued: "I just said there was a bug, but those damn bastards wouldn't listen, ultimately causing the project to fail, and the blame fell on my head."

"Corporate drone?"

"Pretty much, but now you can't even be a corporate drone—got fired by the company…" The young man let out a long sigh.

This is a person with a story; Zheng Ren, while staying on guard, listened carefully.

"I used to think I was omnipotent, never expecting the most vicious thing to be human hearts." The young man said while smoking. He obviously didn't smoke often; his movements were stiff, but each puff he inhaled deeply, forcefully enduring the spicy irritation.

His speech was intermittent, revealing a stubborn tenacity.

"Then what?"

"The previous project succeeded, gave me dividends; I paid the down payment and bought a house, preparing to marry my girlfriend. Though the house isn't big, it's still a home." The young man said softly.

Huh? This guy's not bad; Zheng Ren judged him by his own standards. I'd thought someone with such outstanding looks would be like Su Yun, fluttering among flowers without a leaf sticking to him.
