Chapter 898: 880 Sudden Mission (Silver Alliance 37 Inter Entertainment Li Yifei Bonus Chapter 6)

"Time to eat!" Kong Director's lover shouted from the kitchen, ending the silence in the living room.

"Come, try the Maotai that Boss Zheng brought." Kong Director laughed and stood up.

One can tell he's still delighted that Zheng Ren brought two bottles of Maotai. With his status, would he care about two bottles? This isn't a joke, is it?

What he cares about is Zheng Ren's attitude toward him.

Being low in emotional intelligence, or having always been roughing it in the hospital, Zheng Ren, unfamiliar with social ways, bringing Maotai itself already carries some significance.

Kong Director doesn't think transferring Zheng Ren from Hai Cheng is a big favor. If he doesn't act, within a year Zheng Boss will still be the treasure everyone fights over.

Getting little Zheng Boss to come to 912 is a big advantage for me.

Why fight for such a good intra‑institution policy for Zheng Ren? Why ignore other team‑leading professors' opinions and seize a bed for oneself? Because Kong Director is afraid.

He fears that in half a year Zheng Ren will realize he's been too harsh and turn against him.

Kong Director certainly doesn't want to do good deeds that turn out bad.

Sometimes Kong Director envies Hai Cheng's Director Pan; he can see that Zheng Ren's respect for Director Pan comes from the heart. Their meeting in humble circumstances gave Zheng Ren his first stage in life.

Although the stage isn't wide, as long as there is a stage, with his skill he won't be lost in the world's dust.

I can only be the icing on the cake, not the charcoal in the snow. Kong Director thought, feeling a bit troubled.

Zheng Boss is growing too fast, damn fast!

One oversight and the surgery livestream goes viral; now even my old classmates show up for a free meal.

After a while, who knows what it'll turn into.

Kong Director would like to hand the whole Intervention Department to Zheng Ren, but that's absolutely out of the question. My four team‑leading professors under me are all deeply entrenched, with countless bigwigs behind them.

Allocating just one bed is already the limit; with this, Kong Director has prepared himself for backlash upon his return.

Kong Director knows exactly how much a bed in the capital is worth.

But seeing those two bottles of Maotai, he feels especially happy; everything's worth it.

Little Zheng Boss is no ingrate; I haven't wasted the big favor I did for him.

"Sometimes the sister‑in‑law's food isn't eaten." Zhu Liangchen didn't stand on ceremony, walked to the table, leaned in to smell the dishes, and said: "Sister‑in‑law, your cooking has improved."

"It's Xiao Yi Ren's cooking." Kong Director's lover was still busy, her voice coming from the kitchen.

Zhu Liangchen doesn't think anything of it; he's so close to Kong Director that a slip of the tongue doesn't matter.

"Old Five, you're being too cold‑hearted." Kong Director chuckled: "If it weren't to see Boss Zheng, would you even bother coming here in this lifetime?"

"Look at what you're saying." Zhu Liangchen replied: "Everyone's busy; we're exhausted from surgeries, still have outpatient clinics, who has time to run over here? I'm not bothered, and I don't want to bother you either."

"Sit, sit, just have a bite; this is a family meal, don't talk about surgery." Kong Director warned.

The phone rang; Kong Director glanced at it and put it on silent.

"Who is it?"

"It's definitely not you. Today, besides you, no one can come up to this house." Kong Director laughed: "Exhausted, have a drink and get a good sleep."

Everyone sat down; Su Yun, being well‑informed and tactful, began pouring drinks for the two directors.

The wine is fine; I don't know how many years old it is. After opening, only two‑thirds remain. Zheng Ren ordered this wine from Song Ying; Song Ying wouldn't cheat him.

"You've worked hard this period." Zhu Liangchen raised his cup, solemnly said: "Come, boss, let me toast you."

Kong Director didn't clink cups, sighed lightly, and said: "When it comes to hard work, I'm just coordinating. The real hardship—facing death and sacrifice—is borne by Boss Zheng and his team."

"Huh?" Zhu Liangchen's expression changed.

"Has Boss Zheng gone to the front line too?" he asked instinctively.

"The first batch went up." Kong Director glanced at Zheng Ren, complaining: "You say you're a civilian with no military registration—why go up there?"

Zheng Ren chuckled: "My head got hot, so I went up."

"You…" Kong Director started to say, then immediately realized something was off.

It's not because having Zheng Ren makes no difference or lacking him makes no difference.

Rather…

Having Zheng Ren and not having him really makes a difference!

Seeing Kong Director hesitate, Zhu Liangchen was puzzled. In his view, Zheng Ren is a Nobel Prize nominee; he shouldn't be on the front line. Staying in the back, couldn't he still contribute?

"It really is different." Kong Director pondered briefly, then said calmly.

"……" Zhu Liangchen was stunned.

What nonsense is this?

Really different? Could Boss Zheng alone overturn a heavenly disaster?

Nonsense!

"Boss, drink, drink." Zhu Liangchen, feeling the atmosphere awkward, raised his cup.

"Old Five, let me tell you—do you think I'm talking nonsense?" Kong Director and Zhu Liangchen have been friends for years; a glance tells what the other is thinking. He said solemnly: "Back then, Boss Zheng acted as the vanguard, the first batch to enter Nanchuan Town."

Zhu Liangchen's expression tightened.

The first batch entering the epicenter means what it means—no need to spell it out.

"That doesn't matter; in that situation, one person's power can really do nothing." Kong Director recalled the various front‑line images sent back, his mood dim: "But Boss Zheng, at the first moment, contacted headquarters, demanding nationwide mobilization of nephrology doctors and nationwide allocation of dialysis machines. This merit, the people will not forget."

Zheng Ren didn't smile; instead he slightly lifted his head, as if a huge fist were coming from half‑space to strike him.

"Forget it, let's not talk about the past." Kong Director raised his cup, laughing: "Come, Boss Zheng, congratulations on your successful surgery livestream!"

"Why isn't Boss Zheng drinking?" Zhu Liangchen frowned slightly.

"Director Zhu, Boss Zheng drinking a little is too much." Su Yun smiled: "This way, I'll drink with you and Kong Director, adding Boss Zheng's share and doubling it—what do you think?"

"Get lost!" Kong Director shouted: "Boss Zheng just brought two bottles of Maotai; you want one person to drink most of it? Don't even think about it!"

In the joking, the matter was brushed aside.

Zhu Liangchen also didn't press for more drinks; after all, it's a family gathering, and the sentiment is enough.

If one were really drinking too much at Director Kong's house, it still wouldn't be enough to lose face.

With this liquor, what you're really drinking is feeling.

During that time, Director Kong hung up countless calls. But he didn't dare to turn off his phone...

While eating, Zheng Ren heard a 'ding-dong' sound beside his ear.
