Who?
Who else was there other than Zheng Ren?
They had only met a few times but through testimonies of others, Tang Xiu had a good idea of who Zheng Ren was.
Zheng Ren was a technical man.
This was due to the fact that he either lacked social skills or refused to engage in the mundane, everyday interactions.
To him, techniques and methods were far more interesting than casual conversations.
Tang Xiu brushed her hair aside and said with a smile, “Chief Zheng, I’m here to interview you about how you rescued Yang Lili.”
Zheng Ren’s expression hardened. His gaze s.h.i.+fted and he looked like a child who had to lie to his parents.
“This here is Professor Rudolf Wagner from Heidelberg University. We’re currently in the midst of a discussion. We have an important surgery tomorrow,” Zheng Ren introduced the professor who was engrossed in his study.
Tang Xiu could sense the reluctance in Zheng Ren’s words and actions.
“Alright, Chief Zheng. I’ll come over next time when you’re free?” she said with a smile.
“Sure, sure. Next time,” Zheng Ren said hurriedly.
Some doctors liked the attention that came with the media, but Zheng Ren was not one of them. He found interviews to be tedious and would rather spend the time on his patients, surgeries, or discussions with Professor Rudolf Wagner.
Fame was the last thing he wanted.
The smile on Tang Xiu’s face never faltered. She pulled out her phone. “Chief Zheng, let me add you on WeChat. It’ll be easier to contact you.”
Zheng Ren was hesitant but could not bring himself to reject Tang Xiu. The woman was nice and had helped him in the past.
They exchanged contacts. Tang Xiu’s smile widened.
They shook hands again when they parted. “Till next time,” the lead editor of Sea City Metropolis Daily said.
She did not wait for Zheng Ren’s response before turning to leave with her crew.
When the group exited the emergency ward, the cameraman sighed. “This Dr. Zheng is a good man but is a bit of an oddball. Isn’t that right, Lead Editor Tang? The interview would be for his benefit.”
This was the same cameraman who had traveled to Imperial Capital with Tang Xiu. He was involved in the doc.u.mentary’s making and knew of Zheng Ren’s good deeds.
While he did not know the full situation, he believed Chief Resident Zheng was a reliable doctor from Sea City General Hospital.
The man was a stellar doctor, but he was not a great interview subject.
He was quite a pain in the neck.
It was the first time the cameraman had encountered someone this adverse to having an interview.
Tang Xiu adjusted her gla.s.ses and smiled. “I think he’s alright. Do you want a doctor who is obsessed with his image and branding, or one who is wholly-focused on treating his patients?”
The question was a no-brainer.
If a doctor spent most of his time appearing on camera… What kind of doctor was that?
The logic was sound, but the cameraman still thought Zheng Ren was eccentric.
He let out a sigh and shook his head.

Zheng Ren and Professor Rudolf Wagner missed lunch. The discussion about using diffusion-weighted MRI to determine the site for the TIPS surgery was still ongoing.
Since the discovery of diffusion-weighted MRI, doctors had been using it for diagnosing and identifying strokes.
The diagnostic technique was important to determine if the stroke patient required thrombolysis treatment. Zheng Ren’s idea was to use the diffusion-weighted MRI for better positioning during the TIPS surgery.
Back in the System’s operating room, the trials Zheng Ren did had given him satisfactory results. He had been thinking of applying it in a real-life surgery.
However, the intellectual exchange with Professor Rudolf Wagner showed Zheng Ren the gaps in his idea. There were more things to consider.
The professor was a well of knowledge when it came to interventional radiology.
