Chapter 2815: The Ultimate State of a Sycophant

2721.2612 The Ultimate State of a Sycophant

Upon returning home, as soon as the door opened, besides the aroma of food, there was also a black shadow.

Heizi came over panting, looking up with eager eyes asking for a pet.

"You're back!" Xie Yiren rose from the sofa, smiling, and said, "Then I'll start cooking."

"Mm." Zheng Ren didn't ask what to eat, just smiled and nodded.

After soothing Heizi, Zheng Ren changed his shoes and entered the house. He didn't sit on the sofa; seeing Heizi squatting by the open kitchen with his tongue out, watching Yi Ren cook, he felt a childish urge and also squatted down beside Heizi.

"I'm going… Boss! Don't you have any shame?" Su Yun slumped on the sofa and asked.

Zheng Ren ignored that guy and instead stood shoulder‑to‑shoulder with Heizi, watching Yi Ren cook.

"Don't make a fuss, get up, get up—go rest a bit; the food will be ready soon." Xie Yiren said with a smile.

"It's fine, I like watching you like this." Zheng Ren smiled.

Xie Yiren's smile grew even brighter, her eyes sparkling like starlight. She glanced at Zheng Ren squatting on the ground with Heizi, smiled narrowly, and continued cooking.

"Boss, is it really necessary to go this far as a sycophant?! Is this the ultimate state?!" Su Yun asked.

Zheng Ren still ignored him, instead watching the curve of Yi Ren's waist as she tied her apron, feeling peaceful and happy.

A few side dishes were quickly ready, and the four sat down to eat.

"Boss, Fugui'er said they've prepared a few patients over there and want you to come do a public surgery when you go." Su Yun said.

It seems they just got in touch with Fugui'er.

"Oh, a TIPS surgery?" Zheng Ren asked.

"Yeah, that's what they say. The requests over there are all from wealthy people, and the surgery fees are supposedly high." Su Yun said with a smile.

Compared to a year ago, Zheng Ren no longer cares about surgery fees. I still remember the first time with the flying knife, running to the infectious disease hospital to do a TIPS surgery; the director even felt embarrassed mentioning the fees.

Back then Zheng Ren even hid the money from the flying knife in a cabinet, careful as a squirrel preparing for winter.

Time flies; in less than a year huge changes occurred. Back then he still planned to hand over his salary card to Yi Ren after arriving at 912, but the earthquake relief matter delayed it, and after returning Zheng Ren never thought of it again.

Normally he's so reclusive he doesn't even have a chance to spend money—one could say he's reached the ultimate state of being a shut‑in.

"Sure, have Fugui'er send over the films and related data; I'll take a look." Zheng Ren said, "When can Ke Li's plane arrive?"

"In two days." Su Yun said.

"Are you going to Europe?" Xie Yiren asked.

"Let's go together, if you don't mind the trouble. All right?" Zheng Ren smiled, "This time we have Kelisian's private jet, so the trip might not be too tiring."

"Great!" Xie Yiren instantly became happy.

"Chang Yue… come along too." Zheng Ren said, "Back home, let Old Gao work a bit harder; if he's swamped we can do fewer surgeries."

"No problem." Chang Yue said, "There's someone at the community hospital."

"Well, whoever writes the medical records better can take it, but we still need to be careful…"

"Boss, you're careful all the time—could it be OCD?" Su Yun asked.

"How could it be." Zheng Ren said, "In the medical field we must be careful and cautious. Just like this afternoon's surgery, the patient walked up fine but almost didn't make it down."

"So what the hell, which service industry actually needs to be this careful?" Su Yun said.

As for this topic, you could talk about it for a year and still not make it clear.

Zheng Ren couldn't be bothered to tell Su Yun these things; he glanced at Yi Ren, took a bite of rice, and the legendary saying "beauty is a feast for the eyes" really held true.

Lin JiaoJiao and Director Kong were also eating, discussing Liu Xu zhi's matter while they ate.

"Director, as long as Zheng Lao Ban agrees, that's fine…" Lin JiaoJiao complained, "You say Lan Ke insists on charging that high a price—we can't afford it."

"No need to spend; I'll keep an eye on those coming for further training and talk to the suitable ones." Director Kong laughed, "JiaoJiao, you also need to get used to Zheng Lao Ban's changes."

"Changes?"

"From now on Zheng Lao Ban will be the top scholar of the whole industry, or rather a giant. Perhaps in ten years the textbooks will be written by Zheng Lao Ban—who knows. All doctors in the world will be his disciples; who would still care about the little change you give?"

Lin JiaoJiao thought of this and felt eager. Those who can compile textbooks are all big shots, but now thinking about it, Zheng Lao Ban seems to be on the verge of having that qualification.

Who would have thought that a year ago, the little doctor who knocked himself out with a box of radish cubes could now start pondering compiling a textbook.

Fortunately, back then I listened to Director Kong's professional opinions on several judgments and didn't act on my own.

"Director, I'll follow your lead." Lin JiaoJiao smiled.

"Gu Xiao Ran is already capable; let Liu Xu zhi bring her to do a few surgeries and she'll be able to operate independently." Director Kong said, "Once Zheng Lao Ban receives his award and Gu Xiao Ran's training period ends, we can get this underway."

"Mm." Lin JiaoJiao said, "The national market is truly huge now—money everywhere. Seeing it but not being able to grab it makes me anxious."

"All you know is making money, just watching others eat meat without seeing them get beaten?" Director Kong said, "You still need to take things slow; you can't out‑earn the money. Being careful and cautious, avoiding medical accidents, is what really matters."

"I know, Director." Lin JiaoJiao giggled, "Everyone's from the medical field—guaranteeing safety is a must. This is just me telling you that countless people come to me for cooperation, and I've turned them all down."

"Mm, sole proprietorship—if you can't handle the person, I'll find someone who can." Director Kong waved his hand, saying, "This is all money! We have a huge moat; others can't get in. Really, if a doctor who can do interventional surgery enters the medical‑beauty market, that won't happen for several years. By the way, you need to carefully study Gu Xiao Ran's contract—absolutely no allowing a trained‑up competent doctor to turn around and go to the opposing side."

Director Kong paused, saying, "I'm afraid there won't be few hospitals trying to poach people from our side when that time comes."

"Director, rest assured—this is what I fear most."

Lin JiaoJiao was just about to talk about the contract when her phone rang.

She made an apologetic gesture, didn't leave, and answered the call directly.

"What's up?"

"Um…"

"Say it again!"

"A long tail?! How could that be!" Lin JiaoJiao was a bit flustered, but her tone showed more disbelief.

Director Kong frowned slightly, "What long tail? That's completely unrelated."

"I..." Lin JiaoJiao hesitated for a moment, but still firmly said: "I'll go take a look, you stay at school, don't go anywhere."

Sorry, I hung up the phone, she apologetically said: "Director, sorry."

"What's going on?" Director Kong asked.
