Chapter 426: line with translation of chapter title

Chief Zheng, you also know this matter." Director Zhang sighed, with a bitter expression, "After that, no one dared to provoke him. You say, this matter, we also have nowhere to reason, right?"

Director Zhang spoke the truth; Zheng Ren also once encountered a similar matter.

Traffic accident, unidentified, sent to the emergency of General Surgery Department One. After successful rescue, the at-fault driver was also poor, convicted, and couldn't pay.

General Surgery Department One's bonus was zero for three consecutive months.

Although there were complaints, no one said it shouldn't rescue. The injured's family had two daughters; after coming to see him once, they never appeared again.

Medical staff took turns bringing him meals; after fifteen days, he should have been discharged, but the patient refused discharge and said a ward with three patients was too crowded, requesting a single room.

Anyway, at that time Zheng Ren had no way.

Fortunately later the patient's creditor came to collect debt; on a dark, windy night, the patient himself quietly disappeared.

Director Zhang looked at the disorderly crowd not far away, feeling annoyed, wanting to bring Zheng Ren in, but afraid that the vagrant would cling to Professor Rudolf Wagner's leg and not let go.

If that happened… it would truly be embarrassing to the point of losing face even to one's grandmother's house.

Later he simply took over a storage room in the ward as his bedroom. Every day he went to the cafeteria for meals, not spending money, and besides, he was picky.

"……" Zheng Ren shook his head.

The cafeteria contractor is the former director's brother-in-law, formerly a societal person, fully tattooed." Director Zhang saw Zheng Ren willing to listen, and kept chattering, as a way to relieve stress.

While speaking, he was also thinking of a solution.

Free food and drink don't count; if he's a bit dissatisfied, he erupts in loud curses. The director's brother-in-law has gotten angry several times, but never dared to move against him.

Zheng Ren knew this belonged to the type where one hits him but fears getting their hands dirty.

Speaking, through the crowd Zheng Ren saw a man about sixty or older, spirited, standing at the Inpatient Department gate shouting and cursing.

All kinds of foul language, spoken without repetition.

His spirit was excellent; Zheng Ren felt he could live another five hundred years.

What's the reason this time?" Zheng Ren asked.

He says the storage room is too small, he can't stretch his legs, and wants a room in the staff dormitory." Director Zhang said helplessly.

"……"

In the human world, there is no such thing as contentment.

Originally it was a good thing: the hospital provided free, obligatory treatment; the patient recovered, then a banner was presented, media publicized it, and everyone felt positive energy.

But once this vagrant caused a disturbance, the flavor changed. Moreover, the media seems uninterested in all positive stories, which of course also relates to the readership.

After all, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news spreads a thousand miles.

Speaking of such vagrant matters, they should originally fall under the civil affairs department.

But whenever they appear, no one comes to handle them.

If we called the police…… the police officers also get tired of this matter. Your hospital fears getting dirty, but doesn't the police station?

In short, encountering such matters, one absolutely cannot find…… well, anyway things are like this, so we just get used to it.

Director Zhang grabbed Zheng Ren's arm, wearing an apologetic smile, "Chief Zheng, let's go this way."

Speaking, he led Zheng Ren, the professor, and others on a detour to the back door of the Inpatient Department.

Because Feng Xu Hui was carrying two rolling suitcases, walking slowly. Director Zhang proactively helped Feng Xu Hui carry one of the boxes.

He also felt a bit embarrassed, walking and asking Feng Xu Hui about Longwind Micro-creation related matters.

He supervises Eryuan consumables procurement; at this time, asking Feng Xu Hui also shows goodwill toward Zheng Ren.

Sneaking into the Inpatient Department through the back door, just like a thief.

After getting into the elevator, Director Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Chief Zheng, I have something to ask you," Director Zhang said calmly, then remembering another matter, he asked.

"What is it?"

Director Zhang asked cautiously, "Cheng Lixue, these past few days your mood has been very abnormal—what's wrong?"

"I don't know what's wrong with him," Zheng Ren said, feeling helpless.

Chief Cheng? Who is that?

"Chief Cheng Lixue volunteered, wanting to come to you to learn TIPS Surgery," Director Zhang said. Seeing Zheng Ren's blank look, he guessed Zheng Ren might not know and added an explanation.

Oh, it's him.

Zheng Ren then recalled the person who had come to City First Hospital a few days ago holding films to find him.

I didn't do anything to him; Director Zhang said if he couldn't learn, he'd give him a hard time. I don't have a habit of hitting people. Chief Cheng appeared once, I told him to go study Nuclear Magnetic Resonance diffusion, and then I never saw him again.

What could he do?

Seeing Zheng Ren's puzzled look, Director Zhang said, "After Cheng Lixue returned from City First Hospital, he's been gloomy and hasn't come to work these days. He called in sick."

He glanced at Zheng Ren, saw nothing unusual, and continued: "I wonder if TIPS Surgery is too hard to learn, which has depressed Cheng Lixue."

"No, I haven't even taught him how to do TIPS Surgery yet," Zheng Ren also wondered. "I remember I only asked him a few Nuclear Magnetic Resonance diffusion terms; he didn't understand any of them. That's the most basic—if you don't get it, you can't go on. I just told him to review the basic knowledge, nothing else."

Zheng Ren spread his hands, indicating he was innocent.

Professor Rudolf Wagner gave Director Zhang a sideways glance and said, "You guys are too unreliable; sending people to learn new Technique, they should at least have a foundation. One by one, you're like hillbilly cannons, wasting the Opportunity."

Director Zhang broke into a sweat, finally realizing what had happened.

Although he didn't understand why Zheng Ren and Professor Rudolf Wagner were studying the liver's diffusion images, since their surgery is good, there must be a reason to look.

It's not that Professor Rudolf Wagner's harsh words are unwarranted; this old Cheng is really useless.

Cheng Lixue has persecutory delusions, thinking Zheng Ren is deliberately making things difficult for him.

Director Zhang felt disgusted; old Cheng really has lived to the point of acting like a dog.

Chief Zheng's TIPS Surgery is beautifully done; even that German professor follows him around eagerly as an assistant—who has the time to give you trouble?

Do you think being the head of Eryuan's Intervention Department makes you important?

Nonsense!

Dim-witted and unresponsive!

Looks like assigning him to the Intervention Department was right. Apply some pressure on him, so he doesn't just loaf around all day eating and waiting to die.

Really can't help him up; that kid Wang Qiang isn't bad either.

"Chief Zheng, you should still go see the patient first." Director Zhang said with a wry smile.

"Yeah. Time is a bit tight, but we can only do this." Zheng Ren felt a bit embarrassed, "If I didn't go check the wards early in the morning, I'd feel uncomfortable all over. So I went on rounds at seven-ish this morning, then rushed over."

"It's fine, please Professor do the surgery, there are also patients coming in the Afternoon and Evening." Director Zhang waved his hand, unbothered.

After seeing the patient, which took about half an hour, Zheng Ren then went to the Operating Room to prepare for Shou Bing.

Zheng Ren did not first do the retrievable stent removal for the previous batch of patients, but instead did TIPS Surgery.

After all, he cared a lot about the reward given for the second-stage task issued by the system.

If the Interventional surgery success rate really increased by +2, the retrievable stent surgery would also be safer.

When he stepped up, the patient was already lying down, everything ready.

As always, Professor Rudolf Wagner began disinfecting and laying out sterile drapes. Zheng Ren stood before the viewbox, verifying the patient's identity, and mentally rehearsed the surgery one last time.

A few minutes later, Professor Rudolf Wagner finished disinfecting and called for Zheng Ren to scrub in and step up.

The surgery went smoothly, taking less than 30 minutes total.

When the guidewire was removed, and the Professor began to press to stop bleeding, Zheng Ren heard a 'ding-dong~' prompt tone indicating task completion.

【Main Line Quest: Pearl on the Crown second stage completed.

Task content: Complete 10 TIPS Surgeries, requiring 100% completion. Current progress: 10/10.

Task reward: Interventional success rate +2, 100,000 Experience Points, 3,000 cases of radiofrequency ablation surgery experience.

Task time: 8 days 23 hours, remaining task time: 21 days 1 hour.

The abundant task rewards, whether the 3,000 cases of radiofrequency ablation surgery experience or the remaining Surgical Training Time, made Zheng Ren delighted.

And what exactly does an Interventional surgery success rate +2 mean? Zheng Ren still doesn't know.

Just like with Luck Value +8, Big Pig Trotter doesn't explain the meaning of the Passive Attribute either, so Zheng Ren can only figure it out himself.

The first patient was smoothly sent back to the ward, while the second patient was already lying on the Operating table.

Zheng Ren and Professor Rudolf Wagner were like machines, beginning to repeat almost the same process.

According to the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance diffusion image, Zheng Ren successfully placed the Puncture Needle in position, the Professor grasped the direction, and Zheng Ren pressed the button.

Puncture successful.

Zheng Ren felt a bit confused, not at all sensing the benefit of the success rate +2.

But at the moment the surgery was completed, Zheng Ren glanced at the surgery completion in the upper right corner of his field of view.

Surgery completion 100%, with no change.

This... where exactly does the meaning of +2 manifest?

Zheng Ren was confused.

"Boss, how come this surgery feels different from before?" Zheng Ren was still pondering when Professor Rudolf Wagner broke the silence in the Operating Room.

He was also hesitant, somewhat at a loss, his tone carrying a hint of uncertainty.

"What's different?" Zheng Ren felt the Professor seemed to have noticed something, so he asked.

"Boss, I feel the stent placement is different. The overlap of the two stents is excellent; I'm confident they are completely coincident. Boss, could your perception really be this precise? It's practically like a machine, with virtually no error in repeated operations.

The Professor's reminder made Zheng Ren suddenly realize.

Surgery completion merely represents the surgery itself; it does not mean the patient's postoperative recovery will be better.

Many surgeries are performed beautifully, yet postoperative patients still develop various complications.

Perhaps the Interventional surgery success rate +2 manifests post‑operatively? After all, how well the stents overlap doesn't greatly affect the current surgery, but it has a huge impact on the later stent removal.

Zheng Ren seemed to somewhat understand the meaning of this reward given by Big Pig Trotter.
