Chapter 107 - Corporate Outreach (2/2)
“Just talk to Manager Feng if you need anything,” said Old Chief Physician Pan with a smile.
Manager Feng finally regained his composure and recalled the purpose of his visit.
“Chief Physician Pan, Chief Zheng, the company is providing a large contribution.” Manager Feng smiled and added, “Due to the underdeveloped state of interventional radiology in Sea City, Professor Pei Yingjie from a hepatobiliary hospital in Sorcery Capital will personally visit to promote and handle the surgery.”
“Huh?” Zheng Ren was momentarily stunned. This was unforeseen; he had expected to receive free products in exchange for performing the surgery.
“Professor Pei Yingjie is a well-reputed expert in the country and one of the editors of the Interventional Radiology journal.” Manager Feng began reciting Professor Pei Yingjie’s biography in a disjointed manner, almost like a student presenting a case.
Zheng Ren smiled and pretended to attentively listen to Manager Feng’s introduction.
A professor from Sorcery Capital would be proficient in this domain, especially for what was merely a tier-three surgery, so the news that the professor was personally taking over the field did not perturb Zheng Ren.
As long as Zheng Yunxia’s tumor remained under control, whoever handled the surgery in the end made no difference.
Five minutes later, the nervous Manager Feng finished describing Professor Pei Yingjie’s personal biography from memory, calming his nerves almost instantaneously.
His hands were no longer trembling, as well.
“When will Professor Pei arrive?” asked Old Chief Physician Pan.
“If all preoperative preparations are complete, he will arrive the next day,” answered Manager Feng.
“Okay,” Zheng Ren stood and cheerfully shook Manager Feng’s hand again. “I’ll proceed with preoperative preparations now. Manager Feng, please give me your contact number and I’ll let you know as soon as everything is ready.”
Amazed at Zheng Ren’s unexpected enthusiasm, Manager Feng quickly took out his phone and they exchanged phone numbers and WeChat IDs.
Upon leaving Old Chief Physician Pan’s office, Su Yun sighed and said, “Our hospital is still small.”
“This is good enough. He wouldn’t even have bothered to come had we just been a towns.h.i.+p hospital.” Zheng Ren remained unconcerned and quickly walked to the emergency ward.
“You’re chief resident 24365, so what’s the rush?”
24365 was a hospital joke referring to chief residents having to stay in the hospital twenty-four hours a day, three hundred and sixty-five days a year.
Come to think of it, who would be in such a hurry in the comfort of their own home?
“I need to go back to my room to revise,” replied Zheng Ren coldly as he walked up the fire escape without looking back.
“No wonder you’re single. Nerds like you are the worst batch of students in school&h.e.l.lip; Well, you’re not exactly a nerd, since you’re very good at surgery.”
Zheng Ren could not be bothered to entertain the brat. Upon returning to his office, he saw Chang Yue doc.u.menting a case and said, “Admit Zheng Yunxia to the hospital and check if she has any contraindications for surgery. Professor Pei from a hepatobiliary hospital in Sorcery Capital will personally handle the case.”
“Yeah!” Chang Yu was visibly delighted, which was an unusual occasion, and asked, “Is it free?”
“Yes, thanks to Changfeng Microinvasive Surgery,” replied Zheng Ren. He proceeded to sit at his table and reopen the Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery book.
On the other hand, Su Yun once again sat behind him and started tapping away on his phone.
From it, Zheng Ren thought he could hear a thirty-second alert for encroaching enemies. Meanwhile, Chang Yue was on her phone contacting Yunxia to get her to the hospital.
On his device, Su Yun was actually replaying the video recording of Zheng Ren’s interventional radiology surgery earlier.
He held the phone in his left hand and constantly twisted his right as if simulating each motion.
