Chapter 504: with translation of chapter title

On the high-speed rail, first class, there weren't many people.

It's less than an hour away, but it costs several dozen extra yuan, so most people would consider it not worth it.

Su Yun was quite satisfied with Gao Shaojie's arrangement; she listened to music, played with her phone, and occasionally glanced at the scenery outside the window.

As the high-speed train pulled out of Sheng Cheng, Zheng Ren leaned against the window glass, quietly gazing outside, wondering what he was thinking.

"Boss, you missing Liu Tianxing's guy?" Su Yun leaned over to Zheng Ren, smirking, and asked.

"Hmm." Zheng Ren responded, not bothering to hide what he was thinking.

"When did you become so sentimental? Liu Tianxing wants you dead; you shouldn't hate him, should you?"

"I did indeed think that at first." Zheng Ren placed his right index finger on his lips, stared out the window, his voice somewhat distant, "But lately, as my technical skill has improved, I find myself thinking less and less about Liu Tianxing."

"Well, look at you, still overthinking people? You talk as if you could actually do something."

"I grew up in an orphanage when I was little." Zheng Ren chuckled, "If you're bullied and don't fight back, more people will bully you, and eventually you'll end up worse off than a stray dog."

"..." Su Yun, lacking such life experience, was momentarily dazed.

"The hospital is just part of society. Human relations and worldly affairs are, to a large extent, the same. Liu Tianxing wants to kick me out of City First Hospital; I mentioned this to you in the capital, and I can't let it happen."

"Hey, my uncle quit his job."

Zheng Ren didn't answer Su Yun's words, staring out the window like a philosopher pondering the future and tomorrow.

"When others treat me well, I want to repay them. A drop of kindness deserves a spring of gratitude."

"Like you refusing to quit, is it for Director Pan?"

Zheng Ren nodded, "If others want to mess with me, I have to retaliate. Otherwise, everyone sees a soft persimmon and wants to step on it twice."

"This is the first time I think you're right." Su Yun agreed wholeheartedly, "Just like school bullying, entering society hasn't changed anything; only the methods have varied."

"But today I saw Liu Tianxing lift his head on the flatbed, and for a moment our eyes met—guess what I was thinking?" Zheng Ren asked.

"You wouldn't want to operate on him, would you?"

"Hmm, yes." Zheng Ren sighed, "That thought fills me with dread."

Su Yun's teasing expression faded; it was rare for her not to directly snap at Zheng Ren.

"Medical school, my Shou Bing skill is inferior to mine; I have a thirty percent chance of curing him. But why would I want to perform surgery on him?" Zheng Ren felt confused. This was the first time Su Yun, after getting to know Zheng Ren, saw him pour out his heart, laying bare the contradictions in his worldview.

"Boss, I'm telling you, is there something wrong with what you're focusing on?" The two fell silent for nearly a Minute, Su Yun's face again showed that familiar expression; after he spoke, he blew out a breath, his black hair fluttering above his forehead, silently saying to himself, "How handsome I am!"

"Huh? What problem?" Zheng Ren didn't understand Su Yun's meaning.

"December 10th, what day is it?" Su Yun asked.

"It's the day the Nobel Prize is awarded." Zheng Ren answered without hesitation.

"Hey! You said you weren't coveting the Nobel Prize, but are you actually hoping to get it early?" Su Yun returned to normal, bursting out.

Common sense, everyone knows it.

"You heartless jerk." Su Yun clicked his tongue: "You don't even know that December 10th is Xiao Yi Ren's birthday?"

"…" Su Yun's words successfully diverted Zheng Ren's attention.

What Liu Tianxing, what sparks from saving lives and the fierce clash of his worldview—none of it matters as much as Xie Yiren.

"Boss, is your cold-hearted nature innate?" Su Yun asked.

"I… I…" Zheng Ren trailed off.

"Instead of thinking about Liu Tianxing, you'd better first consider what gift to give Xiao Yi Ren for her birthday and how to celebrate it. Girls need to be coaxed." Su Yun said earnestly.

Zheng Renze was completely dumbfounded.

Xie Yiren's parents are coming back, and I haven't figured out how to visit them yet.

Cheering up girls, Su Yun is at least Master-level, while Zheng Ren is a total loser.

No matter how much of a loser he is, Zheng Ren still knows the importance of Xie Yiren's birthday.

He knows it, but he has no idea what to do.

Su Yun noticed Zheng Ren's usually stable hand starting to tremble slightly, and he felt great delight inside. Being able to see this guy panic like that made Su Yun very happy.

He constantly poses as a big shot, casually tossing scientific research and Nobel Prize–level research at himself to handle; he looks aloof and full of pretension, and Su Yun has long been complaining about it.

This aloof, pretentious act—Su Yun used to do it all the time, second nature. Now he can only watch others put on the show.

Zheng Ren,

Suddenly he panicked.

The two didn't continue speaking, each lost in their own thoughts in the silence.

Zheng Ren kept his head down, thinking things over, and even after getting off the high-speed rail, his expression remained unchanged.

After getting into Feng Xu Hui's car, Zheng Ren seemed to have an idea, and he slowly asked, "Su Yun, I have a plan—what do you think?"

"Huh? You actually have a plan? I thought you were going to ask me what to do."

"Yi Ren's birthday—my own plan would be more sincere. Besides, I think your experience is too flighty and doesn't look good." Zheng Ren said.

Su Yun was angry, just about to retort, when Zheng Ren whispered softly in his ear.

"Boss, this difficulty is too high, right?" Su Yun heard him out, frowned and pondered, "Never mind the cost—your plan… the key is that the people I know are basically all in the medical field, and there's no similar technical talent."

"I recall a patient who works in this field; I'll ask him if he can do it." Zheng Ren racked his brains, came up with an enormously difficult plan, and had to contact the relevant people—this might already be him giving his all.

Zheng Ren opened his phone and started looking up numbers.

He seemed to be recalling things, and Su Yun also knew that this guy never remembers people—being able to keep a patient's contact info is already quite odd.

"Old Cui, I'm Zheng Ren."

"Don't be polite—have you been discharged from that side?"

"Oh, take good care of yourself, no rush to come see me." After a few pleasantries, Zheng Ren changed the subject: "Old Cui, the last time we met at the airport, I heard you said you work in electronics?"

"I have a matter to consult you on—see if it's feasible."

Zheng Ren then briefly explained that enormous plan to Cui Heming.

Cui Heming did not directly reply to Zheng Ren, but said to contact the relevant personnel, consult, and then speak.

Zheng Ren hung up the phone and closed his eyes.

Afterwards, as if remembering something, he picked up the phone and made a call.

"Director, Su Yun and I have returned."

"Mm, rest assured, have a good rest this evening."

"Okay, then I'll hang up, goodbye."

Su Yun chuckled; Zheng Ren, in this situation, actually didn't forget to cancel leave with Director Pan, which shows he is quite thoughtful.

……

I got stuck, wrote for a long time, deleted many times. This foreshadowing was originally meant to show off. But as I wrote this, every time I imagined Zheng Ren, I felt I couldn't pull off the show-off here. Perhaps I suddenly panicked, and many readers might dislike it. But this is the emotion I feel is most likely to appear. Former enemies have become ants, looking back in bewilderment……

I really like Mao Buyi, I really like this final chapter title. Skill improves, the big societal machine needs time to be recognized, Zheng Ren himself also needs time to accept and change. Suddenly I panicked, hoping you all can like it as well.
