Chapter 2888: 2688 You damn idiot!
2688 You damn idiot!
After claiming the reward, Zheng Ren saw his Energy Value jump at a visible rate.
It was 1245 points before, now it's 1345.
Energy Value is the key to using the True Eye, and Zheng Ren knew this clearly, but he dared not try it lightly when his Energy Value was only over 1000 points.
So far he's used it only twice; once, Mao Meng used it in radiofrequency ablation treatment for renal hypertension, and that time he almost turned into a desiccated corpse.
The other time was simpler; he just looked at research on interventional embolization for treating obesity. Perhaps such procedures are relatively simple, so Zheng Ren didn't think much of it.
Under the shower, Zheng Ren stared blankly at his 1345 Energy Value, pondering how to increase this thing.
The request from Luo Qie of the Bruhl Family still lay there untouched, and Zheng Ren simply didn't want to use the True Eye to look at Luo Qie's problem.
That's a big pit, so Zheng Ren cautiously told Luo Qie that this would take twenty or thirty years to accomplish.
As for Xiao Shitou, all means of cancer treatment, even just a rough direction, are also a big pit.
Zheng Ren still had a sense in his heart that cancer and tumors definitely wouldn't be cured so easily; if he now glanced at the future research direction, he estimated he would die instantly.
Is 1345 Energy Value enough?
Not enough at all!
Hopefully Big Pig Trotter rewarded Energy Value this time and will keep doing so; Zheng Ren took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and with it released the anxiety and unease in his heart.
No longer thinking about Energy Value, Zheng Ren felt the temperature of the hot water falling from the shower; it glided over his skin, making his whole body feel relaxed.
Only then did he realize this wasn't the 912 Interventional Surgery Operating Room, and he had no towel.
He had no choice but to roughly wipe himself with the top of the Isolation Gown, then walked out wearing his pants.
Xiang Heping was still standing in the Gengyishi, while Su Yun had already changed clothes and was chatting casually with Gao Shaojie, Feng Xu Hui, and Lao He.
Seeing Zheng Ren come out, Su Yun asked, "Boss, what's wrong with you today? You're tired after just one Shou Bing?"
"No." Zheng Ren chuckled, "I suddenly thought of something; I want to find a quiet place to ponder."
Su Yun pursed her lips, seeming not to believe Zheng Ren's words.
Regarding this, Zheng Ren also had no way; whether he told the truth or a lie, she wouldn't believe him—this person is really hard to please.
"Zheng Lao Ban, Professor Su, Teacher Gao, Lao He..." Xiang Heping bowed his waist slightly, with a humble expression, "Are you all tired? Let's grab a meal together."
"No." Zheng Ren refused bluntly, "There's still a Shou Bing tomorrow; let's get together another day."
It was the same old line, even his tone hadn't changed; even a fool could hear the perfunctory tone.
Xiang Heping stared, feeling a bit embarrassed.
But Zheng Lao Ban turned and left decisively, seemingly having forgotten that he even existed as a patient's family member.
"Zheng Lao Ban!" Xiang Heping shouted instinctively.
Zheng Ren stopped, turned sideways, and his solemn gaze made Xiang Heping feel like a child who had made a mistake.
"Uh... Zheng Lao Ban, what should I pay attention to after my father's surgery?" Xiang Heping didn't dare bring up eating again, and he sheepishly found an excuse.
"Just follow the treatment after an appendectomy." Zheng Ren said, "Once the epidural catheter is removed, it'll be fine; no need to worry about it."
Having said that, he Pushing Door, strode away.
Xiang Heping stood sheepishly at the doorway, not daring to pursue, nor mentioning money. His head felt dizzy, and even now he still couldn't believe that his earlier notion of seeing Zheng Lao Ban as that character from the film was actually his own idea.
"Teacher Gu, that's all for the overall operation." Director Zhang's voice came as he walked into the Gengyishi while on the phone.
Xiang Heping regained a bit of clarity, sighed, and returned to the Gengyishi with mixed feelings.
"Yeah, I saw Zheng Lao Ban grab the catheter with the catcher in one go, looking easy. I just tried, but I couldn't hold it steady even with direct vision. The catheter is too thin, probably only 2-3mm." Director Zhang said.
"Okay, okay, I'll hang up on Teacher Gu first." Director Zhang hung up, saw Xiang Heping looking lost and dispirited appear before him, and asked in surprise, "Old Xiang, where's Zheng Lao Ban?"
"He left."
"He left?" Director Zhang looked at Xiang Heping like he was an idiot, "You let Zheng Lao Ban leave without even eating? You damn idiot!"
Finally, Director Zhang couldn't help but burst out with a profanity.
"I tried to dissuade him, but Zheng Lao Ban refused bluntly." Xiang Heping said anxiously, "Director Zhang, do you think Zheng Lao Ban will find out I called the police?"
"" Director Zhang stared speechlessly at Xiang Heping for several seconds, then finally sighed and said, "Old Xiang, hurry back and rest; I think you're not in good shape today."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"Sigh, no need to say more." Director Zhang said, "This time you're lucky to be able to invite Zheng Lao Ban to wipe your ass. You talk about yourself, I can't even be bothered to look down on you."
Xiang Heping's mood was indeed low; he sighed.
"Old Xiang, the catheter ended up being 13.1 cm, not the 6 cm you said. Anything involving numbers can be wrong; back then…… you weren't there, but anyway, neither Zheng Lao Ban nor Professor Su were very happy."
"Go rest properly; I guess you were scared." Director Zhang also didn't want to say more, after all they're under the same roof; if he spoke too harshly they might avoid each other, but no matter how Xiang Heping puts it, he's not the head of the Anesthesiology Department.
The two changed clothes in silence, and when they were about to leave, Director Zhang said seriously, "Old Xiang, let me give you a suggestion."
"Mm, go ahead." Xiang Heping said, head down, spiritless.
"Wait until your father is discharged, then buy something to go to Di Du and see Zheng Lao Ban." Director Zhang said, "It doesn't have to be expensive, just a token. Even the nicest things we can produce, Zheng Lao Ban wouldn't care about. Mainly it's the thought; you got a big bargain this time, it's just a shame…"
As he spoke, Director Zhang sighed, turned and left. Just before exiting, he earnestly added, "Old Xiang, don't forget. What you did today was totally fucked up, but good thing I asked. If you got Zheng Lao Ban sent to the Branch Bureau…… what the hell did you do?"
Watching Director Zhang leave, Xiang Heping felt an empty, miserable heart, completely lacking the joy of escaping death after an anesthesiology mishap was resolved.
Was his handling of things messed up? But who knows if there's still someone as enthusiastic as Zheng Lao Ban around. Xiang Heping thought of that young, honest face, and involuntarily sighed again.
Life, it really has its ups and downs.
