Chapter 583: 574 Busy eating, so tired

574 Busy eating, so tired.

Director Zhou's lament left everyone present feeling sorrowful.

Sitting on the rim of a volcano, one never knows when they'll have to face all kinds of situations they never imagined.

Just thinking about such a situation, without even experiencing it, feels exhausting.

"Hey, Old Gao?" Zheng Ren answered the phone, made a gesture, and walked out while speaking.

"Oh, okay. Then I'll take leave on my end and go over early tomorrow."

"All right, Old Gao, I'm hanging up."

"Teacher Zheng, are you going to Sheng Cheng?" Hu Hai asked.

"Well, Old Gao's side has prepared eight patients for TIPS surgery; I'll do them tomorrow morning." Zheng Ren said.

"If you're free on your end, shall we go back to Sheng Cheng together tonight?" Hu Hai probed.

"Um…" Zheng Ren pondered.

"It's fine, I'm at home." Su Yun blew out a breath, her black hair fluttering at her forehead, "You're not home, so it's quieter."

Faced with Su Yun's complaints, Zheng Ren had nothing to say.

Looking at his smug face, Zheng Ren zhen wanted to retort him a couple of times, but… Su Yun was speaking the truth.

After a few sighs, everyone was half‑pulled, half‑dragged out to eat by Director Zhou.

Zheng Ren really didn't want to go out to eat, but today's situation couldn't proceed without him. Hu Hai and Li Su Mei had come to thank him, and Director Zhou also wanted to thank Director Li Su Mei.

So Zheng Ren also felt helpless, following out with a reluctant expression.

At the meal, Director Zhou fulfilled his host duties with utmost courtesy and enthusiasm.

After all, today Li Su Mei had defused a bomb of unknown magnitude for him; precisely because its size was unknown, anyone with a bit of common sense wouldn't keep diminishing her contribution.

Midway through the meal, Director Zhou began inquiring about the detailed condition of Li Su Mei's noon patients.

Such questioning served two purposes: first, to learn more; second, to flatter Li Su Mei and hit the right spot.

Zheng Ren was bored, suddenly felt like it, took out his phone, and sent a WeChat message to Xie Yiren.

【Yi Ren, what are you up to?】

【Chatting with the Head Nurse, how about you? Still busy?】

【Busy eating, so tired.】

【Yeah, I can feel that.】 Xie Yiren added a smiley and a strength emoji to cheer Zheng Ren up.

If anyone else said that, it would be showing off; but when Zheng Ren says it, he's truly tired.

【I'm considering whether to go to Sheng Cheng tonight.】

【Why go?】

【Tomorrow the Medical University Affiliated Hospital in Sheng Cheng is asking me to do TIPS surgery; Su Yun says he'll watch the house. Are you free?】

【Sheng Cheng, I'll let the Head Nurse know. The department owes me a break—it's almost been a month.】

Not long after, Xie Yiren messaged that she could go.

Zheng Ren felt delighted, thinking the sky was blue and clear.

"Old Hu, I'll take leave with Director Pan soon; let's go to Sheng Cheng together—can you give me a ride?"

"That's great!" Old Hu readily agreed.

Although he is a neurosurgeon, he also performs interventional procedures.

Never mind how impressive Director Zheng's TIPS surgery is; I don't even understand it, and I have no desire to study cross‑specialty topics.

Just talking about that day's attempt to fish out the guidewire—I spent several hours trying and couldn't get it, and Old Liu and the others helped too, but still nothing came out.

But when Teacher Zheng stepped up, I heard he solved the problem in just a few minutes, and the surgery went smoothly.

So young and yet so skilled—what is this?

This is the Grandmaster's gift of a meal!

And it's not just a few coarse grains; the Grandmaster bestowed a full Manchu‑Han banquet!

Ultimately, how far Little Boss Zheng can go is beyond my level to guess. But one thing Hu Hai knows is that maintaining a good relationship with Little Boss Zheng brings only benefits and no drawbacks.

What if one day I can't come down from the stage again? Who knows how far Little Boss Zheng will go. Do people think neurosurgical intervention won't be done? Hu Hai refuses to believe that from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing Zheng Ren's WeChat, Su Yun finally broke into a smile, though she felt contempt inside.

He didn't say anything, but it was just as well that Zheng Ren and Xie Yiren had left, so he didn't have to keep things from them.

After the meal, everyone was satisfied and felt they had gained a lot.

Zheng Ren called Feng Xu Hui to ask about the consumables for TIPS surgery at the Medical University Affiliated Hospital.

Feng Xu Hui certainly wouldn't miss the chance to go to Sheng Cheng, so he drove straight to the outside of City First Hospital's Emergency Building and waited.

Zheng Ren thought it over, then called the professor.

Little Oliver should be bringing the patients back by train tomorrow, while the professor here still hasn't decided how to travel.

Upon hearing Zheng Ren say he was going to Sheng Cheng, Professor Rudolf Wagner said he'd like to join, and would fly directly from Sheng Cheng to Modu, then on to Heidelberg.

These trivial matters were settled with a few phone calls, and the moment Xie Yiren stepped out in her white form‑fitting coat, Zheng Ren's heart soared.

With Su Yun watching the house, he could relax and enjoy himself.

Just thinking about that feeling made Zheng Ren overjoyed.

In the evening, he planned to go see a movie with Xiao Yi Ren, stroll through Sheng Cheng's business street, and… there were many things to do—each of which Zheng Ren rarely did, but doing them with Xiao Yi Ren made it different.

After some argument, Hu Hai insisted that Zheng Ren ride in his car.

The professor also wanted to come along, but you can't fit five people in one car, and the other would be empty except for the driver.

In the end, the professor, wearing an unhappy expression, got into Feng Xu Hui's car and they drove all the way to Sheng Cheng.

……

……

On the road, Zheng Ren sat in the front passenger seat, chatting on and off with Hu Hai.

In the back, Li Sumeng went out of her way to please, chatting especially happily with Xiao Yi Ren.

"Teacher Zheng, which hotel are you staying at Evening?" After the car entered the limits of Sheng Cheng, Hu Hai asked.

Zheng Ren didn't mind, simply forgetting the matter. As soon as he was reminded, he hesitated, then heard Xie Yiren gasp "Ya" from behind.

"I forgot to notify the nanny!" Xie Yiren immediately picked up her phone and started calling.

Nanny……

Such a strange creature simply does not exist in Zheng Ren's world.

Before the call connected, Xie Yiren suddenly hung up and asked Zheng Ren, "Zheng Ren, do you want to live on the North Second Ring Road, to see the night scenery in the Evening, or by the riverside?"

"..." Zheng Ren had no idea at all.

"Then the riverside it is." Seeing Zheng Ren speechless, Xie Yiren said with a smile, "The scenery by the riverside is a bit better; it's a pity there's less snow this year."

Hu Hai and Li Sumeng fell silent, stunned.

The two places Xie Yiren mentioned are the most expensive in Sheng Cheng.

Starting at fifty thousand per square meter, even professors and directors of the Medical University Affiliated Hospital in Sheng Cheng dare not covet these two properties.

Just what background does Teacher Zheng's little girlfriend have?

Hu Hai immediately sighed, looking at Teacher Zheng—no need to mention his skill level—bringing his girlfriend out to fly knives, not staying at a hotel but at his own home, in the most luxurious part of Sheng Cheng.

Truly, the capable can do anything?

Gradually, Hu Hai began to feel dazed.
