Chapter 2924: with translation of chapter title

"Lao Gao, I'm a little envious of you." Liu Zewei sighed lightly and said.

"You're not bad either, Zheng Lao Ban originally hesitated about whether to come back to Hai Cheng together, and swing by Sheng Cheng on the way." Gao Shaojie said, "Unfortunately, recently he performed a Shou Bing on a child with late-stage cancer, then went to a private research center in Germany for gene drug therapy; there might be some minor issues, causing a delay."

Liu Zewei knew about this, after all he and Gao Shaojie weren't in frequent contact, but not to the point of completely ignoring each other.

"Lao Gao, does that child have any hope?" Liu Zewei asked casually.

"I think Zheng Lao Ban and Professor Su have put in a lot of effort, so there is still hope, though it's very slim."

"There's hope…… Zheng Lao Ban is really impressive!" Liu Zewei sighed, "With this illness, wherever you go they just send the patient home to eat whatever they like. I didn't expect he'd actually manage to stir up some possibility."

"By the way, a few days ago I went with Zheng Lao Ban to save a case." Gao Shaojie said, "At Place: Langshan Xian Yiyuan, they were performing a Shou Bing on a patient with appendicitis, and during continuous epidural anesthesia the catheter broke."

Place: Langshan Xian Yiyuan

Such situations occasionally occur clinically, but only years later did he hear others mention it in casual conversation; Liu Zewei himself had never personally experienced it.

"Hmm, Zheng Lao Ban took it out himself, not difficult." Gao Shaojie said, "Maybe the one I saw was 'fresh', so the difficulty wasn't great."

"Lao Gao, explain exactly how it was taken out." Liu Zewei stroked his shiny bald head and asked trustingly.

Gao Shaojie simply gave a brief rundown of that day's situation; though he kept it simple, he didn't hide the technical details.

His relationship with Liu Zewei was somewhat special; certainly not to the point of being life-and-death friends. When Zheng Lao Ban came last year to undergo a TIPS Surgery, Gao Shaojie and Liu Zewei maintained a delicate Balance.

Between Team-leading Professors there is cooperation, as well as mutual competition. Society, after all, has never been purely anything.

But then Zheng Lao Ban came along, and with all those things, going back and forth for further training, now Gao Shaojie also stays in Di Du, and it won't pose any threat to Liu Zewei's position.

Moreover, Liu Zewei also needed a link to maintain smoother contact with Zheng Lao Ban's Medical Team, lest the relationship go cold when people leave.

With no conflicting interests between them, their relationship took another step forward. At this moment, sitting leisurely at home, drinking a little liquor, they chatted happily about everything under the sun.

"Inject air into the vertebral canal? What did Zheng Lao Ban say? Any quantity requirements? Pull it out after the procedure?" After hearing this, Liu Zewei wasn't interested in the epidural venography or the capture device snagging the broken catheter; instead, he expressed doubt about certain measures taken during that time when the case-saving didn't actually happen.

He asked several questions in a row, but Gao Shaojie just shook his head lightly.

"Lao Liu, this situation isn't urgent; if it comes up, you can invite Zheng Lao Ban." Gao Shaojie gave an elegant smile, "I heard Professor Su say that it's a bit regrettable that there was no Surgery live broadcast."

Liu Xu zhi

Liu Zewei fell silent for a moment, feeling grateful from the heart to Gao Shaojie. Lao Gao is genuinely down-to-earth; otherwise, among the many Team-leading Professors in Sheng Cheng, he wouldn't have such a close relationship with him.

That last remark clearly hinted that he could later bring this up as gossip at a drinking gathering with the head of the Anesthesiology Department.

It's just gossip, no preaching, no question of who's stronger or weaker. The speaker means it, the listener takes it to heart; if a similar situation ever arises again, he'll know who to turn to.

Although it won't necessarily happen one hundred percent, taking this as an opportunity to have Zheng Lao Ban perform a Surgery live broadcast, or leave some video footage…… this is a way for him to boost his own favor.

"Lao Gao, bottoms up." Liu Zewei also didn't stand on ceremony because of Gao Shaojie's reminder; he raised his glass and clinked it against Gao Shaojie's.

"Is the pressure on the home front big?" Gao Shaojie asked after finishing his drink.

"Before, it was big, after all Director Jin was still there, I found it tough." Liu Zewei said, speaking of the difficulty, yet he didn't have a worried frown; instead, there was a faint vigor.

Gao Shaojie smiled at him, the hair on his head seemed to have become a bit more desert-like; during this time, Old Liu must not have pulled out much hair.

"Since Zheng Lao Ban appeared on TV, things have changed." Liu Zewei said, "Zheng Lao Ban and Yun Ge'er are righteous; they added my name to the research group. I also sought out the hospital director, which is like borrowing the tiger's might."

"I'm already not bad; plus, with the halo of a Nobel Prize project, who could compete with me?" Liu Zewei said with a smile, "As for you, Old Gao. I've met Zhou Chun Yong twice; he's not easy to deal with."

"Zhou Chun Yong? These days he's really digging up dirt on Zheng Lao Ban." Gao Shaojie spoke frankly to Liu Zewei's face, without deliberately vilifying or concealing.

"Before, it was the same; that person is too sharp. The most important thing is being able to put aside one's dignity; the classmate of Director Kong in the neighboring ward just can't."

"Hmm, I'm not afraid of sharpness, I'm afraid of not seeing the situation clearly." Gao Shaojie smiled, "Liu Xu zhi, do you remember him?"

"Yes, a young doctor from the Radiology Department of Xilin Town. During the Earthquake Relief, he worked together with Zheng Lao Ban, and also went to Xilin Town to give a demonstration Shou Bing."

"Hmm, he transferred over and has an official position."

"Zheng Lao Ban is quite righteous." Liu Zewei knew this, and he replied lightly.

"Liu Xu zhi is no longer in the Hepatobiliary Department of Di Du." Gao Shaojie said.

"……" Liu Zewei stared for a moment. From his perspective, Liu Xu zhi staying in the Hepatobiliary Department of Di Du was already a step up to heaven; how could he not be there? Did he go to 912?

"Zhou Chun Yong has vacated a Deputy Chief position, keeping the seat open." Gao Shaojie laughed and said, "This matter is also related to my transfer."

"Good grief…… Liu Zewei was secretly shocked. A Deputy Chief of a ward in the Hepatobiliary Department of Di Du—how could this position have anything to do with that down-and-out… from Xilin Town, the young doctor who was chased to the Hospital by his wife with a rolling pin over a few thousand yuan of private money?"

"Speaking of Zhou Chun Yong, he's awesome—this move is really fierce! Overbearing, that's probably what it is."

"Liu Zewei understood the difficulty, and even more understood how hard it was for Zhou Chun Yong's opponent, Zhu Liangchen. Anyway, if I were in Zhu Liangchen's position, I truly wouldn't know what to do next."

"Likewise, in the Hepatobiliary Department of Di Du, the wards aren't monolithic. Internal personnel transfers are relatively simple. With Zhou Chun Yong's connections, poaching a few people from Zhu Liangchen's ward isn't difficult."

"But such things shouldn't be done often, otherwise it would ruin the rules."

"And this time, Zhou Chun Yong's move was exquisite down to the finest detail. The flavor of it—probably only Zhu Liangchen could truly appreciate."
