“Boss Zheng, is the surgery done?” Su Yun asked casually, trying to be affable.

Hopefully, he could make it less awkward.

“Yes, the four arterial branches have been embolized,” Zheng Ren said. “Do you need help on that end?”

“No. I’m closing the abdomen up now. I thought you would get the uterine artery as well, you know, to cure the adenomyosis.”

“No, this is an emergency surgery. The patient’s injuries are severe and her body might not be able to handle another embolization. We don’t want the uterine artery to be the last straw on the camel’s back. She can come to us after she’s recovered and we’ll try it then.”

“Understood.” Su Yun found his explanation long-winded.

“You can be my scrub nurse. Yiren doesn’t need to come in,” Zheng Ren said.

“Chief Kong is here. Don’t you wanna go greet him?” Through the leaded gla.s.s, Su Yun could see Department Chief Kong with a Caucasian man by his side.

Already? Su Yun smirked. He wondered how long he would take to reach, let alone surpa.s.s, or even conquer, Zheng Ren.

Even after moving the goalposts repeatedly, he still could not find a credible answer.

Zheng Ren turned to the control room and saw Department Chief Kong waving at him. He mumbled something to Su Yun and went to remove his surgical gown.

“Boss Zheng, I see your hands have gotten faster,” Department Chief Kong said as a greeting when Zheng Ren entered the control room.

“Chief Kong, please don’t exaggerate; also, just call me Little Zheng,” Zheng Ren said with a smile. “What brings you here?”

“I heard that Professor Rudolph wanted to meet you, so I decided to tag along. There’s something I’d like to discuss with you in person,” Department Chief Kong said.

Professor Rudolph? Why did the name sound so familiar?

Zheng Ren was bad at facial recognition, but his memory was solid.

“Professor Rudolph Wagner?”

“Yes.” Department Chief Kong stepped aside to let Professor Rudolph introduce himself. The professor offered his hand and spoke in heavily-accented Mandarin: “Nice to meet you, Zheng. My name is Rudolph Wagner from Heidelberg University in Germany.”

Zheng Ren shook the hand obliviously.

“Chief Zheng, it’s the second general surgery department. They’re waiting on you,” Chu Yanran reminded him.

“Oh? They’re just starting now?” Zheng Ren asked.

“I’m not sure.” His words worried Chu Yanran and she pursed her lips.

“We should hurry, then.” Zheng Ren turned serious. “Chief Kong, my apologies, but I need to a.s.sist with a floating gallbladder case. I worry that too much time has been wasted.”

“Go on. We’ll talk once you’re done.” Department Chief Kong did not mind one bit. Zheng Ren’s total disregard for the German professor as he excused himself was admirable. Before leaving to change, Zheng Ren exchanged a few words with Old Chief Physician Pan.

Most young doctors would fawn over a foreign professor. China’s recent growth and development did not lessen the youths’ wors.h.i.+p of the West.

However, Zheng Ren did not pay much attention to Professor Rudolph, which pleased Department Chief Kong.

Su Yun was almost done with the st.i.tching despite operating without any a.s.sistance.

“Send the patient to the ICU once it’s done. Inform Chief Qian that the patient needs a ventilator,” Zheng Ren instructed Chu Yanran.

“Yes, my lord,” Chu Yanran whispered in a high-pitched voice.

Were it not for the presence of the hospital director, department chief and professor, Zheng Ren knew she would have shouted the words.
