Chapter 991: with translation of chapter title

The time arranged by Zhou Chun Yong was very tight, one surgery after another, matching the work rhythm of 912, and Zheng Ren felt relieved.

After finishing the last surgery live broadcast, there were still several hours before the plane's departure.

Zheng Ren had thought that his first cooperation with Zhou Chun Yong would involve various minor procedural issues, but it actually went extremely smoothly.

He refused Zhou Chun Yong's request to grab a bite to eat, made a round of the post‑operative patients, and then Zheng Ren brought Feng Xu Hui back to 912.

Zhou Chun Yong also felt a bit bewildered; performing 18 surgeries in a day, he actually managed to do them without rushing or lagging. Among them, there were even 11 teaching surgeries!

This is damn fast!

As for surgery, there is a limit to how many can be done in a day.

Back when the hospital was not yet so standardized, it was common for the top doctors in each department to compare their surgery volumes. For example, the doctors in the thyroid department had their own separate operating suites. Arranged in a triangular shape, there were three operating tables; the surgeon stood in the inner circle, and after finishing one table they only needed to change clothes without re‑scrubbing, then directly start the next table.

With such alternating cycles, the record for surgeries in a single day was 22 tables.

But Boss Zheng performing TIPS surgery…… is damn similar to doing a thyroid adenoma, truly…… impressive!

Zhou Chun Yong thought to himself.

Since it was still early, Zheng Ren went back to the department to make rounds, then set off together with Su Yun and the professor.

Entering the office, Su Yun was playing with her phone; the professor was lecturing little Oliver, and when displeased, he roared like a lion, intimidating little Oliver.

Chang Yue was not in the office; presumably she went to the ward to chat casually with patients and their families.

For such an inpatient doctor, Zheng Ren felt very reassured and satisfied.

"The surgeries went quite smoothly." Su Yun said leisurely upon seeing Zheng Ren return.

"Well, Director Zhou prepared thoroughly on his side, and he learned quickly." Zheng Ren replied with a smile.

"As they say, competition brings motivation; grouping like this in the department is necessary." Su Yun said: "Mu Tao found six patients, and he said he sent the images to you."

"I've looked them over; there shouldn't be any major problems."

"Knock knock knock~~" the knocking sound rang out.

Zheng Ren turned his head and saw a person over sixty being supported by family members, standing at the doorway.

"Who are you looking for?" Zheng Ren asked.

"Is Doctor Chang in?"

"She's gone to the ward; anything needed?" Su Yun's gaze pierced through the black hair on her forehead, somewhat sharp.

"Nothing." The old man scanned the office, didn't see Chang Yue, and felt a little disappointed.

Zheng Ren saw his diagnosis on the system panel—Budd‑Chiari syndrome.

Oh, Zheng Ren immediately understood; this was the patient that Dr. Shen found so troublesome. Said to be a teacher, he pursues every matter to its root, even asking what percentage of hepatic artery and hepatic vein blood flow supplies the liver.

"Please return to the ward first; when Doctor Chang comes back, I'll have her look for you." Zheng Ren said with a smile.

"No trouble, no trouble." The old man waved his hands repeatedly, saying: "This is fruit brought from my hometown, a small token, not meant as a formal gift."

As he spoke, a young man beside him held a small box and placed it on the office floor.

"Let Doctor Chang try a fresh sample; it's better than what's sold on the market." The middle‑aged man said, gave a slight courteous nod, then turned and left.

Is that settled?

Zheng Ren looked at Su Yun with an inquiring gaze; Su Yun shrugged and said: "If Dr. Shen finds it bothersome, Chang Yue goes to help him communicate; after chatting a while, I see this old gentleman practically wants to take Chang Yue as his adopted daughter."

This is Chang Yue's talent; for this innate communication ability, Zheng Ren also admires it greatly.

Zheng Yunxia was determined to die, even thinking of jumping off a building, but Chang Yue persuaded her back in the time it takes to smoke half a cigarette, restoring her hope for life.

This old gentleman was stiff and formal, yet unexpectedly Chang Yue won him over so quickly.

However, this guy never shows any color to senior doctors; I don't know what kind of ulterior motive he has.

That box of fruit was left on the floor, and neither Zheng Ren nor Su Yun wanted to go see what it actually was.

"Tomorrow there's a comic expo in Pengcheng; since you have surgery, I won't go to the hospital—I'll go take a look." Su Yun suddenly said.

"A comic expo? How old are you, what's there to see?" Zheng Ren exclaimed in surprise.

"You don't understand anything." Su Yun was about to retort Zheng Ren, but Zheng Ren glanced at the time and said: "Let's do rounds, then set off."

The patients in 912 are distributed across three wards; Zheng Ren walked a circuit, which amounted to about five thousand steps before heading out. However, the postoperative patients' conditions were stable, so there was nothing special to worry about.

After finishing rounds, Zheng Ren contacted Xie Yiren. Little Yi Ren refused to go to Pengcheng, saying that tomorrow is the weekend and she wants to go shopping with Chang Yue.

Upon hearing the two words "go shopping," Zheng Ren felt a sense of having escaped death.

Mu Tao, favorability +1.

Feng Xu Hui and Hu Yan Hui went directly from the Liver and Gallbladder Hospital in Di Du to the airport; especially Feng Xu Hui, who had to pull that trolley case, which contained surgical instruments.

These items cannot be carried on person; going through security check, consignment, and similar inspection procedures also takes a long time.

Arriving at the airport, Zheng Ren bade farewell to Xie Yiren, passed security, waited for his flight, and then went straight into the System Library to read.

The journals and magazines in the System Library are updated daily without cease; Zheng Ren feels this function is truly very convenient.

It saves time, effort, and money; whenever you need it, it's right at hand, and Big Pig Trotter is sometimes quite thoughtful.

Not long after, security screening began, and everyone boarded the plane from the business class door.

After sitting down, Su Yun turned off her phone, took out a comics magazine from her personal bag, and read it with great relish.

"You still like this?" Zheng Ren asked, somewhat surprised.

"You think I'm always on my phone watching what? Surgical videos?" Su Yun said disdainfully: "Watching a surgical video once is enough; it's truly boring."

"And then?"

"Only 2D is true love."

"..." Zheng Ren glanced at the 2D beauty on the magazine, feeling doubtful; this guy is surrounded by women to an excessive degree, almost every day he gets hit on. When on assignment in the south, even the cleaning aunties look at him favorably, and his room is cleaner than mine.

"Your hobby is truly amazing."

"That's because you're old." Su Yun rebuked: "Only 2D is the ultimate pursuit, boss."

Zheng Ren remained silent; this kind of hobby, I truly don't understand.

"I estimate you have no idea at all, let me give you an example." Su Yun said: "A Few Years Ago||Term, in Saitama Prefecture there was a little boy who was really good at picking up girls, nicknamed the Saitama Prefecture Healing BOY. That year he was ten; don't look at his young age, but his emotional intelligence is at least one order of magnitude higher than yours."

"Comparing with me is meaningless."

"Comparing with me is even more meaningless; I never need to pick up girls, girls pick me." Su Yun said expressionlessly.

Zheng Ren smiled, made a gesture of invitation, indicating for Su Yun to continue.

"The TV station produced a segment, letting him demonstrate picking up girls, filmed in real life. He chose the popular mixed-race female star Maggy as his date; that episode, I think Boss you could use it as teaching material."
