Chapter 86: then translation of chapter title

The patient's Shou Bing was completed successfully, and after waking from anesthesia, the Chu Family Sisters and the doctors of General Surgery Department 2 escorted the patient back to Jizhenbingfang.

The Chu Family Sisters, who had been muttering unhappily, were now in high spirits as they escorted the patient down together.

Originally it was suggested to have Zheng Ren perform the Shou Bing, but Uncle Lin didn't listen; in the end, Zheng Ren saved the day, which made the Chu Family Sisters extremely proud.

Zheng Ren and Director Sun went to the Gengyishi to change clothes.

In a sense, the Gengyishi is like a bathhouse, where everyone can open up and say things they normally wouldn't dare to say, their "inner thoughts".

"Little Zheng, your skills are truly not just talk." Director Sun said while changing clothes, "Our City First Hospital rarely invites doctors from Di Du or Modu to perform Shou Bing, but I still have some understanding of the highest national standards. Your style of isolated intestinal Shou Bing is similar to that of Professor Wang from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. If I didn't know your background and know that you've never gone away for further training, I would certainly think you were personally taught by him."

"Director Sun, you're overpraising me." Zheng Ren smiled.

"By the way, you don't have a girlfriend, do you?" Director Sun is much more open-minded than Director Liu; he knows young people can't be restrained, and everyone will grow old.

Just like the former director over a decade ago, who firmly refused to perform laparoscopic Shou Bing, only after his retirement did laparoscopic Shou Bing at City First Hospital experience explosive growth.

Because the former director suppressed his subordinates too harshly back then, even to this day he doesn't come to City First Hospital for treatment. Having learned from those past examples, Director Sun still treats his subordinates, especially talented young people, very kindly.

But he never expected to encounter such an eccentric individual.

Zheng Ren's Shou Bing was well done, so Director Sun, delighted at the prospect, wanted to bring their relationship closer. What does Zheng Ren need? Director Sun doesn't know.

But the most conventional way is surely to introduce a partner to unmarried young people, right?

Later, when Zheng Ren becomes successful and starts drinking, he'll be able to brag about how much he took care of him back then.

Zheng Ren was stunned by Director Sun's question, then gave a wry smile.

"What's wrong?" Director Sun asked.

"No, I don't have one, and I don't plan to look for a girlfriend or get married in the next few years." Zheng Ren said.

"Why?" Director Sun said with a smile: "Flowers can bloom again, but people never return to youth. Today's young people... like my son, who has had countless girlfriends but never settles down. But you, this seems a bit extreme."

"Director Sun, you know I've just been promoted to Inpatient Chief." Zheng Ren gave a wry smile.

Director Sun immediately understood what Zheng Ren meant.

Being Inpatient Chief means at least a year of being stationed at the hospital.

22 hours a day, 29-30 days a month, the hospital is home—talking about a girlfriend? Which girl doesn't want romance? Which girl doesn't want moonlit blossoms? Who would want to whisper sweet nothings in a hospital reeking of disinfectant?

Doctors often joke that every hospital bed and every hard plastic chair has seen someone die.

In such a place... let alone talking about love, even if there were genuine feelings, after being cold for over a year, they'd probably have deteriorated.

How many people get cuckolded during their tenure as Inpatient Chief? This is an open secret.

That's why Director Sun feels helpless.

He sighed and said, "You still need to recruit people for the Emergency Department."

"Wait and see, right now no one can give me a hand." Zheng Ren said.

"Huh? Su Yun didn't go? Your relationship isn't good? No way, Su Yun is going to the Emergency Department despite Director Fu's pressure." Director Sun said in surprise.

"Su Yun is an ICU doctor; can he perform Shou Bing?" Zheng Ren asked.

"His Shou Bing is not bad, slightly worse than mine but not by much." Director Sun looked at Zheng Ren with deep meaning, "You should know that when he came to City First Hospital, he was still a preclinical student. Even though Xiehe does many Shou Bing, there wouldn't be many chances for him to be the lead surgeon. He's highly talented; probably the type who can do it just by watching."

"Just by watching and you can do it? That's nothing but protagonist halo. Thinking of the protagonist halo falling on a pretty effeminate boy, Zheng Ren felt a bit depressed."

"How do you know his Shou Bing is good?"

"His former girlfriend had appendicitis; from anesthesia to Shou Bing, he did it all by himself." Director Sun said, "This kid wouldn't let anyone into the Shou Bing room; everyone was expecting a joke, but his girlfriend was up and about after one day and discharged home after three days."

Zheng Ren had heard about this by chance, but he didn't believe it was true. Besides, it was just an appendectomy.

"Anyway, you still need to deal with having a girlfriend. I think Director Pan treats you well; the Inpatient Chief position is probably only for a year. First find a suitable match, then when you have time, spend more time together."

Director Sun finished changing clothes and went downstairs together with Zheng Ren.

Director Pan was overseeing the Jizhenbingfang; seeing Director Sun come down, they together examined the post-op patient.

After waking from general anesthesia, the patient said a few words and then fell into a drowsy sleep.

Vital signs were stable, and Lin Yuan Shan naturally gave profuse thanks.

He also felt a bit embarrassed, never expecting that after going around in a big circle, the Shou Bing was still completed by Zheng Ren.

Leaving the ward, Lin Yuan Shan warmly invited everyone involved in the Shou Bing to have a meal.

That's how dining culture works: after a successful Shou Bing, the family treats everyone to a meal, both to express gratitude and to build connections for future medical convenience.

Lin Yuan Shan had no intention of currying favor; he merely wanted to express gratitude.

Zheng Ren couldn't object to this; in the end, Director Pan and Director Sun decided to have a deputy chief from General Surgery Department 2 cover the Jizhenbingfang, and the group then went to the hotel.

With the hospital director and relevant department heads present, Zheng Ren found this meal extremely oppressive. Looking at the exquisite dishes, they actually weren't very fragrant.

In his view, the street-side kebab stall near his home is the most delicious place on earth.

The Chu Family Sisters, in such a setting, appeared poised and at ease, their conversation adding considerable color to the gathering.

After a few hours, the bigwigs were finally full and dispersed.

Riding in Xie Yiren's car, Su Yun followed close behind like a snail, impossible to shake off. After sending Director Pan home, Zheng Ren suddenly received a call from the Chu Family Sisters.

It turned out they hadn't eaten well either, and they had arranged to meet Chang Yue for a late-night snack.

Young people are lively; although they were still on emergency shift, with their phones on standby and unable to drink, they couldn't be stopped from pursuing a lively life.

Anyway, since someone was on duty, Zheng Ren treated it like a prisoner being let out for fresh air.

Xie Yiren drove, heading straight to a better spot.

The weather had gradually turned cold, and it looked like the first snow would fall in a few days.

The open-air stalls couldn't stay open, but the cold weather couldn't quench the foodies' enthusiasm. Since they couldn't eat outside, they ate indoors.

The venue chosen by the Chu Family Sisters was still the crayfish restaurant near the hospital.

According to them, the crayfish would soon be gone, and if they didn't eat them now, they'd have to wait until next year.

Soon, several people gathered at the open-air stall.

The Chu Family Sisters enthusiastically took a group photo, saying that as a family they should be complete.

This is the first group photo of Zheng Ren, Su Yun, the Chu Family Sisters, Chang Yue, and Xie Yiren.

"You're really boring." When the crayfish were served, Su Yun habitually brushed back the black hair in front of her forehead, "Those old guys aren't here; why not have a drink? Don't let the golden goblet face the moon in vain—haven't you heard that saying?"

"Afraid there might be an emergency in the Evening." Xie Yiren bluntly refused.

Su Yun's provocative tone, this girl simply couldn't tell. In her world, everyone is good; there simply aren't any negative emotions like contempt or mockery.

The Chu Family Sisters exchanged a glance; Zheng Ren didn't know whether it was Chu Yanran or Chu Yan zhi who said she could have a drink.

Zheng Ren definitely refused; Su Yun's provocation simply didn't exist in his awareness, and he outright ignored it.

Finally, Su Yun looked at the perpetually silent Chang Yue and asked, "Do you drink?"

"I don't drink." Chang Yue bluntly refused.

Perhaps some people don't care about looks, but everyone is polite; no one is as frank as Chang Yue. This strong sense of annoyance makes Su Yun very Uncomfortable.

"Finally I know why they threw you out to take the blame." Su Yun said with a wicked smile: "How boring."
