“Then you can cover for me for a while,” Zheng Ren said.

“Go, go.” Su Yun put out the cigarette and stuffed the lighter into the cigarette box. He handed it to Zheng Ren and said, “Boss, no matter what, you’re someone who’s skilled in performing TIPS surgery. Isn’t it embarrassing to smoke purple clouds?”

“Tell me, if I go and receive the Nobel Prize in the future and everyone else is smoking cigars, wouldn’t it be especially cool if I smoke purple clouds?” Zheng Ren smiled and turned to leave.

That…weird scene appeared in Su Yun’s mind.

However, it was indeed like what Zheng Ren said. It would be really cool.

To be cool was essentially to use the contrast to increase one’s charm. But it was best to be really good at it because everyone was watching. The operating table was both a place for one to be cool or make a fool of oneself.

The key was that the boss was really f*cking good at it.

This guy… Su Yun shook his head. The black hair on his forehead fluttered in the wind.



Zheng Ren returned to the emergency ward’s office. The professor had already left. He was not waiting for Zheng Ren like Su Yun had said.

Gao Shaojie was sitting at the desk in the corner with a notebook in his hand. He was working so hard that he forgot to eat and sleep. Wang Qiang sat behind Gao Shaojie with a dumbfounded look on his face. He was already tired.

“Teacher Gao, are you busy? If you have any problems, let’s talk quickly. You’ve been waiting for me to go on duty.” Zheng Ren entered the room and greeted him first.

He was extremely busy today and could not be bothered to be reserved. He rarely played around but he was usually not as direct as today.

Gao Shaojie was studying the magnetic resonance imaging. He was so engrossed that he forgot where he was.

When he heard someone call him, he did not have time to listen to the rest of the words before he raised his head with an unhappy expression.

However, the moment he saw Zheng Ren, he was in a trance for a moment before immediately standing up.

The movement was so intense that Gao Shaojie did not even realize his chair had bumped into Wang Qiang behind him.

“Chief Zheng, you are back.” Gao Shaojie’s words were filled with endless surprise.

“Yes.” Zheng Ren nodded and walked over to the other computer. He turned on the screen and then opened the video workstation to find Lin Peisen’s liver diffusion-weighted MRI.

“What do you not understand? Tell me,” Zheng Ren said.

Wang Qiang stood in the corner behind him and gently rubbed his wrist that had been hit. His expression showed the pain he felt.

Wang Qiang knew that Gao Shaojie was studying diffusion-weighted MRI.

Wang Qiang was also a trained student. How could he not understand diffusion-weighted MRI. However, he had no idea how to use the diffuser image to determine the relationship between the liver and portal vein.

He was a little dissatisfied with Zheng Ren’s attitude but could not complain.

No matter how young he was, he was only a Chief Resident. He was still a young man who knew how to perform TIPS surgery. He was also a Chief Resident who knew how to perform TIPS surgery.

In a thousand words, it did not matter how he acted as long as he knew how to perform TIPS surgery…

Wang Qiang sighed in his heart. Looking at Teacher Gao being so humble, he had an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

Teacher Gao was very proud. Normally, one would not be able to tell when they first met him.

But after a long time, one would know that it was not arrogance, it was pride.

And now, his iron-like bones had turned into soft silk.

Gao Shaojie bent down and stood beside Zheng Ren. He stared at the screen. In his right hand, he held a piece of paper. The paper was filled with things that he needed to consult Zheng Ren about.

Wang Qiang was highly suspicious. Given Gao Shaojie’s age, if this posture continued for an hour, he would be hospitalized with a protruding disc.

He wanted to listen carefully to what Zheng Ren and Teacher Gao were talking about, but it was full of professional terms in the field of nuclear magnetism. Wang Qiang even suspected that even Philips’ engineers could not understand what Zheng Ren and Teacher Gao were talking about.

It was just an operation. Was there a need to study it so deeply?

He silently looked at Gao Shaojie. From this angle, he could only see half of his face. The image on the screen kept changing, and the light reflected on Gao Shaojie’s face kept changing.

So serious, so determined.

He had to grit his teeth and persevere. He must not give up such a good opportunity like Cheng Lixue, that coward.

Wang Qiang encouraged himself in his heart.

Even if he did not understand, he had to serve him tea and water. Teacher Gao had learned how to do so, so he had to teach him a little bit more. Wang Qiang believed that Gao Shaojie would not hide anything from him.

It was not because he was special, but because he had accompanied him throughout the entire process of learning TIPS.

Thinking of this, Wang Qiang’s expression softened.

What stupid annual meeting? Even teacher Gao’s attitude was so humble. He was like a student, earnestly seeking advice. Why did he have to hold on?

Time passed bit by bit. The confusion on Gao Shaojie’s face became less and less as his excitement continued to grow.

Half an hour passed…

Followed by another hour…

“That’s it.” Finally, Zheng Ren spoke up. “Teacher Gao, you can refer to Lin Peisen’s film. The surgical approach tomorrow will be using it as a reference.”

“Yes, yes,” Gao Shaojie repeatedly acknowledged.

“Then I’ll go to the emergency department since I’m on duty. You should go back and rest early. The surgery will start early tomorrow,” Zheng Ren said.

It was only then that Gao Shaojie straightened his back, and the sound of his lumbar vertebrae cracking could be heard.

Shit… How could he forget about his old waist.

Wang Qiang hurriedly supported Gao Shaojie so that he would not fall.

“Director Zheng, I’ll think about it when I get back. I think I’ll have to trouble you with something I don’t understand tomorrow,” Gao Shaojie said respectfully with one hand on his waist.

“There’s no trouble at all.” Zheng Ren glanced at Gao Shaojie and asked, “Are there many patients who need TIPS surgery in the Provincial Capital?”

Gao Shaojie was still thinking about how to invite Zheng Ren.

He did not expect Zheng Ren to ask him about this.

He could not miss this opportunity. Gao Shaojie endured the pain in his back and quickly said, “Chief Zheng, there are about three hundred cases a year. There will definitely be some more at times. But…”

“Huh?” Zheng Ren stared at Gao Shaojie. “But what?”

Unknowingly, Zheng Ren’s tone and aura had already taken on the air of an old-school big shot.

Gao Shaojie quickly said, “Chief Zheng, I really hope to invite you to the Provincial Capital to conduct TIPS surgery. However, there might be a small problem with the fees.”

Zheng Ren was already well off and had no concept of money. All he thought about was how to complete the task given by the System.

Seeing Zheng Ren looking at him expressionlessly, Gao Shaojie felt a little guilty.

“Chief Zheng, as you know, if I were to tell the patients in the Provincial Capital to ask the professors from Haicheng to perform the surgery… I don’t think there would be anyone left,” Gao Shaojie told the truth. “But regarding the fees, all surgical fees will be handed to you. I can also make sure that all the equipment within the hospital is top-notch.”

“There’s no need.” Zheng Ren shook his head and smiled. “There’s no need for money. You just need to prepare the patients. Prepare ten at a time. I’ll be there immediately. However, the sooner the better.”

With that, Zheng Ren turned around and left. “Teacher Gao, go back and rest well. I’m on duty in the emergency department.”

Gao Shaojie was stunned.

What else could he ask for besides money to do freelance surgeries?

Chief Zheng even asked for a time. Could it be that he wanted to do some huge scientific research and was lacking patients?

Gao Shaojie instantly understood what was going on.
