Chapter 381 - Health Agency (1/2)
Lin Jiaojiao and Zhou Da had many years of business experience. They could sense the lack of interest under Zheng Ren’s enthusiastic pretense.
However, Lin Jiaojiao was not bothered by it. She smiled and said, “Chief Zheng, tonight…”
“I’m sorry, Sister Lin, I have a prior engagement tonight,” Zheng Ren rejected without any hesitation.
“It’s fine.” Lin Jiaojiao was very well-mannered. She was unaffected by Zheng Ren’s blatant rejection and asked with a laugh, “What about tomorrow?”
“I’ll be performing TIPS surgery on six to eight patients at Secondary Hospital tomorrow. I don’t think I have time.” Zheng Ren shrugged.
Lin Jiaojiao was surprised. She knew the difficulty of the TIPS procedure since she was a nurse in the interventional department in Imperial Capital’s Cla.s.s Three Grade A Hospital: one of the earliest places where TIPS surgery was first established in this country.
No wonder Chief Kong highly recommended this young man.
Was he even human to be able to perform six to eight TIPS procedures in a day?
If a doctor at his age could complete a TIPS procedure in eight hours, they would be the rising star of interventional surgery.
She suppressed her astonishment and asked with a smile, “Oh, that’s too bad. I’ll not bother you any further. I heard from Chief Zhang that you’re going to Imperial Capital to operate a few days later; you have to let me treat you then.”
“Sure, sure.” Zheng Ren nodded, his impression on Sister Lin got better.
After seeing the three of them enter the emergency ward, Zhou Da snickered.
“Chairman Lin, you came all the way here just to be rejected?”
Lin Jiaojiao chuckled and turned to leave.
“Let’s talk about something else. Do you know who the foreigner behind him was?” Lin Jiaojiao asked.
“No.”
“Professor Rudolf Wagner from Heidelberg University, the world’s pioneer in interventional surgery. If you can’t find anything about Chief Zheng, follow Professor Rudolf’s footsteps. Then, you’ll know why I’m trying to save your *ss,” Lin Jiaojiao said.
Zhou Da followed behind Lin Jiaojiao at the same pace, but his breath became heavier.
Zhou Da’s phone started ringing; his a.s.sistant brought it to him with both hands.
“h.e.l.lo.” Zhou Da halted his footsteps and lowered his voice. He frowned when he saw Lin Jiaojiao continue walking with no intention of waiting for him.
“President Zhou, there’s an update on the thing you asked for.”
“Go on.”
“Dr. Zheng Ren partic.i.p.ated in prostate interventional surgery research in Imperial Capital and became a candidate for main surgeon.”
‘Prostate?’ Zhou Da hummed lowly.
“I heard that his patients are recovering very well.”
The person on the other end paused for a moment, suppressed his voice to a minimal volume, and continued.
“President Zhou, I have inside news that this Dr. Zheng will be appointed to the National Central Health Agency soon.”
Erm…
He started to piece things together. Lin Jiaojiao’s constant reminder not to dig his own grave kept replaying in his ears like morning bells.
Health Agency…
His mind went blank and his body went limp. He held to the wall when he was about to fall.
“President Zhou, are you okay?” His a.s.sistant rushed over and helped him up.
Zhou Da shook the a.s.sistant’s hand away in disgust. He then leaned against the wall and tried to think things through.
He was not stupid. He would not be running such a huge business if he was.
Everything fell into place now that he had the key information.
After a few minutes of silence, Zhou Da stood up with a serious expression.
“President Zhou, Lawyer w.a.n.g called and said that the Young Master has something to discuss with you.” The a.s.sistant held the phone in front of Zhou Da.
