Chapter 3022: then translation of title

One sentence was like spring thunder, striking Bao Longtao's heart. In an instant, silver snakes danced wildly, outside charred, inside tender.

"Boss, can we finish it in over forty Minute?" Su Yun looked at Zheng Ren, her black hair fluttering in front of her forehead.

"Hmm, should be no problem." Zheng Ren had just done a mock surgery in the System Operating Room, and he replied with full confidence.

"……" Su Yun was somewhat surprised; just now when discussing the surgery process with the Boss, she still felt she could at least compare herself to him in the field of Cardiothoracic Surgery, but then this guy drastically cut the shortest surgery time she thought of by half.

"Zheng Lao Ban..." Bao Longtao wanted to ask calmly about the situation, but since it was important, his voice trembled slightly.

"Director Bao, I estimate the surgery won't be a big problem, but the risk still has to be taken. After all, it's surgery, there's no guarantee, what do you say?" Zheng Ren smiled slightly and said.

All present were senior doctors; everyone knows there's a world of difference between preoperative discussion and intraoperative execution. Moreover, not to mention thoracic surgery, even an appendectomy on an 84-year-old patient carries great risk.

Bao Longtao's mind was a bit muddled; he tried hard to think, but still couldn't make up his mind.

After thinking for nearly 1 Minute, Bao Longtao said politely, "Zheng Lao Ban, do you have time?"

"Are you going to his home to explain the situation to Peng lao in person?" Zheng Ren saw through it in his mind, already guessing Bao Longtao's thought.

Director Bao nodded, his eyes full of expectation.

"Let's go." Zheng Ren said without hesitation.

Zhou Chun Yong looked at the untouched food on the table, thinking Zheng Lao Ban really had an explosive, decisive temperament, not wanting to waste even a meal's time.

"Zheng Lao Ban, Professor Su, when going to the Teacher's home, keep your voices low. The old couple likes quiet; making noise would be bad." Bao Longtao stood up to get clothes, and he whispered his reminder.

"I know, you're overthinking." Zheng Ren smiled.

Bao Longtao didn't put on his own clothes first; he quickly walked to the wardrobe, took out Zheng Lao Ban's clothes and handed them over, then took out Su Yun's clothes.

Zhou Chun Yong watched, heart pounding.

His overbearing behavior in the hospital largely stems from Director Bao Longtao.

Back then, Bao Longtao discovered and affirmed the effectiveness of interventional treatment for liver cancer, and with considerable magnanimity he overruled opposition to recruit Zhou Chun Yong to Di Du's liver and gallbladder department, and set up the ward.

Because of certain forces, Bao Longtao couldn't turn Di Du's liver and gallbladder department into a one-man show, so Zhu Liangchen took the opportunity to emerge.

Since then, Bao Longtao didn't choose the art of Balance, but kept the focus on Zhou Chun Yong. Zhou Chun Yong understood all the subtle thoughts, but he realized even more clearly how arrogant this director before him was!

At the very least, I've never seen him do this for anyone other than Peng lao. Although it's just a tiny detail, it made Zhou Chun Yong realize the situation seems to be changing.

All the way silent, they arrived at a residential complex on the Second Ring Road; Bao Longtao pressed the doorbell, and the nanny opened the door.

"Is the Teacher in?" Bao Longtao asked softly.

It looks like he comes often; the nanny knows Bao Longtao, "Shhh... the old couple is playing chess."

"……" Zheng Ren was stunned; at a time like this, shouldn't one be lying in bed, reminiscing about the past, waiting for the leaves to fall and return to the roots, then depart sadly?

Playing chess, what the heck is that!

"Let me take a look." Bao Longtao said with an apologetic smile. At the Teacher's home, even when facing a nanny, he still maintained great courtesy and respect.

"Little Bao's here?" an old man's voice came from the inner room, "Change your shoes and find a seat yourself; we'll finish this game."

"Okay."

Zheng Ren changed his shoes, turned his head to find an angle to look.

The chess room isn't big; an old man with hardly any white hair left sits on one side of the chess table, holding a white piece, pondering.

On the other side sits an elderly woman with a red-flushed System Panel, her back against a soft cushion, an IV stand beside her, and a nurse nearby watching the IV.

She seems mentally okay, but her hand holding the black piece trembles a bit; sometimes Peng lao helps place the black piece on the board.

A faint sandalwood fragrance wafted out; the room gave Zheng Ren the feeling not of a patient's home, gloomy and dreary, but rather like a Peach Blossom Spring, full of a leisurely, elegant charm.

That old couple inside truly transcended life and death, like immortals.

"The Teacher and his wife usually like to play chess." Bao Longtao explained, "Zheng Lao Ban, don't rush, just wait a moment."

Zheng Ren doesn't understand chess at all and hasn't prepared to learn. He's spent his life toiling and traveling, with no time for such things. However, Zheng Ren isn't averse; when he smelled the faint sandalwood fragrance, his heart calmed down.

After about an hour, Peng lao came out.

He showed no particular mournful expression, calmly looking at Bao Longtao, then glancing at Zheng Ren and Su Yun.

"Doctor Zheng?" Peng lao, although a bit surprised, still said in a calm tone.

Zheng Ren had already stood up, slightly bowed, and said, "Peng lao, it's me."

"How did you come? Sit, sit." Peng lao said lightly, "It's truly a rare visit; I thought we wouldn't meet until you were evaluated for the Academy of Engineering academician."

"Teacher, Zheng Lao Ban and Professor Su have researched a surgical method; the Teacher's wife's surgery can be done laparoscopically." Bao Longtao quickly said.

Peng lao seemed a bit weary; even facing this news he didn't perk up. He slightly nodded and said, "You've worked hard."

"Peng lao, have you and your loved one decided to give up?" Su Yun asked.

"Today's appearance, old as yesterday. From ancient times to now, you must know all, the wise and the foolish, the poor and the rich." Peng lao did not answer Su Yun's question, but said softly.

"Yuanqu is too crude; don't say the mulberry and elm are late, for the rosy clouds still fill the sky. I think this line is quite good, celebratory." Although Su Yun's tone was respectful, the vigor in her words never changed.

"Little Su, a few years ago you were the hope-star of Di Du's Cardiothoracic Surgery; I was just thinking about you, heard you went back to your hometown."

"Peng lao, I'm just a greenhorn; you don't need to ponder me, I came myself." Su Yun said with a smile, "Your loved one's condition……"

"She doesn't want surgery; this person, when old, must accept old age. With tubes and breathing, hooked to machines, do you say that counts as living?" Peng lao said calmly.

"Peng lao." Zheng Ren sat with formal demeanor, seriously saying, "What if he could be discharged two weeks after surgery?"

"Hmm?" Peng lao's slightly swollen eyes opened a slit, looking at Zheng Ren like a hawk.

"I looked at the elderly person's test sheets and imaging data from Shuai Fu; I think there's a 90% chance of quick recovery."

"Hmm…… huh?"
