Chapter 247 - A Legend to be Told Over Drinks and Written in Books (Part 1 of 5) (1/2)

Dr. Zheng had come to Imperial Capital and was involved in emergency rescue for the knife attack?

He had managed to restore the vision of someone who had been blinded by hyaluronic acid deposition?

He had outdone top interventional surgeons from all across the entire nation?

And tomorrow, he was going to attempt to surpa.s.s a surgery that a German professor had performed in Sorcery Capital?

In the minds of the news team, each soundbite transformed into another sharp, eye-catching headline.

Every story was newsworthy; relinquis.h.i.+ng even one of them would be something they would regret for the rest of their lives.

The food was forgotten, left to be absent-mindedly picked at.

The two doctors were unaware of Tang Xiu’s and her team’s expressions as they continued to enthusiastically chat for almost two hours, mostly about gossip surrounding Zheng Ren after his arrival in Imperial Capital. Some of it was truth, some of it speculation.

Such stories would become legends to be brought up over drinks in a few years.

The more they spoke, the more excited Tang Xiu became. Suddenly, an absurd but bold idea popped into her mind.

She took out a pen and paper to make notes while the two doctors continued chatting.

To her, typing on a laptop lacked soul.

She wrote down her scattered thoughts on the blank paper, her pen flying across it.

The two other reporters had also put aside their initial misgivings about Zheng Ren, alternating between checking on Tang Xiu’s notes and telling the two doctors about the emergency rescue that Zheng Ren had performed in Sea City.

Ma.s.s nitrite poisoning on such a ma.s.sive scale was very rare and the story had been embellished over time, gaining an apocryphal nature of its own. Their eyes as wide as saucers, the two doctors from Imperial Capital downed two shots of alcohol in one motion.

Soon, Tang Xiu’s thoughts began to take shape.

She was thrilled by it all. It would be the perfect interview, the pinnacle of her career.

She felt elated.

When she raised her head to look at the two doctors, they were both a little tipsy; even though they had already strayed from the original interview subject, it was obvious that they could not proceed in their current state.

Also, she still needed to brainstorm her ideas with her two subordinates.

If all went according to plan, it would be huge. They could not rush it and waste such a rich resource.

Tang Xiu asked for a few more details, including the possibility of an interview with the doctors involved.

In the end, they exchanged contacts with the two doctors and arranged for an interview tomorrow.

After sending the doctors home, the photojournalist asked, “Editor Tang, are you onto something?”

“Yes, I’m thinking of filming a promotional video with a positive message. If done well, it could end up being the main theme of our city’s latest social media outreach.”

The other two reporters were fully aware of what that meant and nodded eagerly.

Zheng Ren’s eyes were half-shut as he pinched the Changfeng Microinvasive Surgery micro guide wire between his fingers, perceiving its minuscule differences in rigidity and texture.

The replica from the System was exactly the same as the real deal. There was little to no disparity between them.

After attaining Prime level, Zheng Ren had discovered that he was more discerning towards surgical supplies. In order to ensure the success of the surgery, he did not want to miss out on any aspect that could improve the procedure, no matter how trivial.

Feng Xuhui, along with Chairman Ma and the others, wasted no time commencing with the c.u.mbersome procedure of procuring surgical tools. In the afternoon, Zheng Ren had a simple lunch and returned to his hostel, where he continued to manipulate the wire alone.

While toying the micro guide wire in his hand, Zheng Ren mentally outlined the 3D-image reconstruction of the 64-slice CT scan of his upcoming patient, picturing the route of entry, degree of insertion and the exact moments to be radiographed… he replayed the entire process in his mind over and over again.

Zheng Ren calmly imagined the surgical process, trying to optimise it even further.

The micro-guidewire felt smoother and more flexible the longer he held it in his hand.

If Su Yun was present, there would be no shortage of mockery to be had.

Some people had the habit of toying with b.u.t.terscotch amber pendants, while some preferred play beads. Zheng Ren’s choice of plaything was truly one of a kind.
