Chapter 123 - Red Packets From The Fickle-Minded (2/2)

Nor was he willing to think about it. It was better not to let these trivial matters disturb such a quiet and warm moment.

A smile gradually formed on Zheng Ren’s face as he stared into the little fox statue’s eyes.

He was truly having a good time.

…

…

Not knowing how much time had pa.s.sed, Zheng Ren suddenly detected a presence in the on-call room. He quickly summoned himself back to reality and opened his eyes.

The person who had returned was Su Yun. Zheng Ren, who was in a good mood, greeted him enthusiastically, “Done with dinner?”

“Yes.” Su Yun was still reluctant to speak to Zheng Ren. “Professor Pei wanted you to replace him as a fly-in, fly-out surgeon in case he can’t attend surgeries, and Old Chief Physician Pan promised you to him after a couple of drinks.”

A fly-in, fly-out surgeon?

It never occured to Zheng Ren that he would have taken such a t.i.tle one day.

Come to think of it, he had already achieved the Master rank in interventional radiology, so it was within reason that he would be a fly-in, fly-out surgeon once in a while.

“Bullsh*t,” Su Yun said angrily, “Professor Pei doesn’t understand the situation, but what about Old Chief Physician Pan? What is the scope of practice registered on your medical license? A fly-in, fly-out surgeon? Any registered hospital will require a copy of your license, so are you going to perform interventional radiology as a general surgeon?”

Zheng Ren thought about it and realized that Su Yun’s words made sense.

However, that was just a minor and insignificant detail.

He truly had no desire to fly around as well. There was a lot on his plate already; was that not enough? Although he could secure a large income by being a fly-in, fly-out surgeon, why would he, a chief resident, even need so much money for?

He was just a bachelor who had no courage to find a girlfriend.

“Where are they?” Zheng Ren changed the topic.

“Chu Yanran, Chu Yanzhi and Xie Yiren returned home together because Xie Yiren’s house is nearer and more convenient for them if there are any emergency cases tonight.”

“How convenient?” Zheng Ren could not grasp the scope of the matter. Xie Yiren had once mentioned that she had a house nearby with its own garage.

However, poverty had limited his imagination, and he was unable to form a picture that was even close to the actual situation.

“Somewhere near the hospital within a five-minute walking distance,” answered Su Yun bluntly as he changed out of his clothes, took out a clean sheet from a cabinet and put it on the bed.

Sea City General Hospital was located in the city center, and every area reachable with a five-minute walk was a high-end community area.

A five-minute walk was equivalent to a one- to two-minute drive. She could drive directly from her house to the hospital’s underground parking lot, take the elevator to the operating theater, and still arrive at the same time as he did with the patient.

‘Tut-tut… It’s nice to be wealthy,’ Zheng Ren thought.

“By the way, I performed another interventional radiological treatment for postpartum hemorrhaging while you were out having a meal. Take a look at the patient when you’re free,” said Zheng Ren, recalling it.

“Got it,” replied Su Yun plainly, unsurprised.

The night went on uneventfully. There was no drunk driving, drunken brawl, drug overdose or hemorrhaging. The world had seemed to quiet down.

How good it would be if there was no disease in the world.

Zheng Ren had a dream where everyone was prosperous and lived a healthy life, which greatly satisfied him.

However, it was just a dream.

At half-past three in the morning, Zheng Ren was awoken by a phone call. “Chief Zheng, something has happened!”
