Chapter 517 - Anxiety Caused By The Red Packet (1/2)

“Who are you asking?” Zheng Ren was curious as well. He did not feel embarra.s.sed and asked with a smile.

“Isn’t this a hospital in the Capital?” The patient’s family was a little embarra.s.sed. He scratched his head and said, “They say that it’s a difficult disease to treat, but we don’t dare to get it done in Sea City… If we delay it, we’ll regret it for the rest of our lives.”

Zheng Ren understood. He smiled and nodded.

“My family contacted Chief w.a.n.g of the General Surgery Department in the first-aid department. Chief w.a.n.g said that when you were partic.i.p.ating in scientific research in the Capital, you helped him solve a big problem,” the patient’s family member said. “Chief w.a.n.g said that he didn’t understand this disease. With you around, there’s no need to consult him again. With you around, things should definitely not go wrong.”

Chief w.a.n.g? Zheng Ren tried hard to recall, but he could not remember what the General Surgery Department’s Chief w.a.n.g looked like.

He only remembered that he happened to meet a patient with PJS at that time. He went on stage and helped him perform the surgery.

A basin of intestinal polyps. That was Zheng Ren’s impression of Chief w.a.n.g.

Since that was the case, he would need to prepare for surgery.

Zheng Ren smiled and comforted the old man with a few more words. After that, he received a call. The operation room was ready. Su Yun had also rushed back.

Just as Zheng Ren was about to leave the room, a patient’s family member hurriedly called out to Zheng Ren.

“Chief Zheng, please wait a moment.”

“Yes?” Zheng Ren turned his head.

“This is a small gift from my family. Please accept it.” The patient’s family member stuffed a red packet into Zheng Ren’s white pocket before holding his hand tightly so that he could not reject it.

Zheng Ren felt helpless. He took a glance and saw that there were other patients in the room. Causing a commotion here would not do any of them good.

Zheng Ren smiled and made sure not to make a fuss about it.

Seeing that Zheng Ren had accepted the red packet, the family was relieved.

The patient had already been sent up. Zheng Ren did not have time to deal with the money. He felt the thickness of the red packet. It probably had about 2,000 yuan.

For general surgery, it was already a lot. However, for someone of Zheng Ren’s status… If the family knew about it, then they would know that the money they had given him was far too little.

“Zhong Min, there’s a red packet here. I need to go on stage. I don’t have time to deal with this. Help me make a trip to pay the hospital fees.” Zheng Ren threw the red packet toward Zhong Min.

Zhong Min was stunned for a moment, slightly puzzled.

“Chief Zheng, are you not confident about the surgery?” Zhong Min asked worriedly.

“The surgery? I’ve no issues with it. It’s just removing a section of the intestine and then anastomosing it. It’s very simple,” Zheng Ren said.

“Then…”

“I’m not short on cash. I just don’t like taking money from others since it gives me unnecessary pressure. Hurry up. If you’re late, the family will definitely think that there’s something wrong with the surgery,” Zheng Ren urged as the thought suddenly crossed his mind.

Although Zhong Min did not understand, she did what Zheng Ren instructed her to do.

Su Yun sent the patient away as Zheng Ren slowly went up to change his clothes.

When Zheng Ren changed his clothes and entered the operating theater, Chu Yanzhi had already finished administering the anesthesia. Su Yun had also already begun to disinfect all the necessary tools.

Zheng Ren brushed his hands and went up to the stage. He helped Su Yun finish laying out the sheet and the surgery began.

..

..

After the patient entered the operating theater, the patient’s family members waited anxiously outside the operating theater.

Within a few minutes, Zhong Min arrived at the waiting area of the operating theater.

“Who paid the patient’s hospital deposit?” Zhong Min asked.

“Wait, did I not have enough money?” an elderly man stood up and asked.

“This is the red packet you gave Chief Zheng just now. Chief Zheng asked me to pay the hospital deposit with it.” Zhong Min smiled, “This is the deposit ticket. You have to bring all the deposit tickets with you when you exit the hospital. Otherwise, you won’t be able to go through the discharge procedures. That’s all. I’ll go down first.”

After saying that, Zhong Min handed the deposit ticket to the patient’s family and turned around to leave.
