Chapter 107 - Corporate Outreach (1/2)

They were in the emergency interventional radiology suite in Sea City General Hospital.

“Zheng Ren, save me a copy of the angiographic footage,” said Su Yun as he took off his lead ap.r.o.n; the patient, whose puncture wound had stopped bleeding, was being transferred to a stretcher trolley. A urological surgeon would take over the patient from here.

“Sure,” answered Zheng Ren without questioning the man’s motives.

Su Yun, who was not in a rush to change his attire, quietly stood behind Zheng Ren and watched him edit the surgery video and save every important clip.

Approximately ten minutes later, Zheng Ren completed his work and pa.s.sed a printed image to Deputy Chief Shen of the urology surgery department.

It was simply a typical imaging film. Despite his lack of knowledge in interventional radiology, Deputy Chief Shen could still explain the procedures behind the surgery and potential postoperative effects based on the film to the patient’s family members.

“There might be blood clots in the bladder--” Zheng Ren nagged.

Deputy Chief Shen interrupted him with a smile. “Chief Zheng, we can handle these things. Thank you for the trouble this time. Let’s go out for a meal together someday.”

“I’m a chief resident, I can’t.”

“You’re only the chief resident for one year, and we still have a long way ahead of us.” Deputy Chief Shen smiled and left the interventional radiology suite with the film.

Zheng Ren stretched lazily. It was always relaxing and comfortable after an emergency rescue.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

“Zheng Ren, come to my office,” said Old Chief Physician Pan bluntly.

“Okay,” Zheng Ren replied and quickly stood up as if Old Chief Physician Pan was standing before him in person.

The corners of Su Yun’s lips twitched slightly, as if fighting the urge to laugh.

They changed out of surgical attire and hurried to Old Chief Physician Pan’s office on the first floor of the emergency building.

After knocking and entering, they saw a young man in a suit and leather shoes sitting across from and chatting with Old Chief Physician Pan.

“Zheng Ren, this is Manager Feng, a sales manager from China Changfeng Microinvasive Surgery,” Old Chief Physician Pan said upon noticing Zheng Ren.

Manager Feng, who still looked baby-faced in his twenties, immediately stood up, extended both hands and greeted them politely with a slight nod, “h.e.l.lo, my name is Feng Xuhui, but you can just call me Little Feng.”

“h.e.l.lo, Manager Feng. I’m Zheng Ren, Old Chief Physician Pan’s ‘soldier’.”

“You must be Chief Zheng. I was just listening to Old Chief Physician Pan’s praise for you, but I didn’t expect you to be so young.” Manager Feng began eyeing him up.

“Let’s not stand on ceremony here. Please have a seat and we can speak.” Old Chief Physician Pan waved his hand and continued, “Little Zheng, didn’t Chang Yue mention that a patient required our help a few days ago? Manager Feng is currently working in Changfeng Microinvasive Surgery, a newly-established company specialising in minimally-invasive surgical supplies, and he is here to promote the technology his company develops.”

‘Oh, so that’s what it is.’ Zheng Ren began to understand the situation.

Medical device companies had vested interests in advertising their products, just like shopping malls.

However, medical equipment production required extremely high technical standards, which were why there were relatively few major medical device companies worldwide. In China, however, there had been a recent boom in large-scale imitations; companies were on the rise such as Tianjing Microinvasive Surgery and now, Changfeng Microinvasive Surgery.

“I have to thank Manager Feng first of all.” Zheng Ren smiled and said, “Domestic medical device companies can further reduce the cost of patient treatment, which is good news all around.”

“Chief Zheng, that’s too polite of you.” Manager Feng looked like a fresh graduate based on his nervousness when speaking.

From this, Zheng Ren concluded that Changfeng Microinvasive Surgery did not place a high value on Sea City’s market.

For potential large-scale business opportunities, the company would always send the smarter, more competent salespeople instead of fresh graduates to handle the product sales to relevant hospitals.

However, it would be inappropriate to criticise someone for simply being part of an outreach program, would it not?
