499 Professor Feng (2/2)

Even highly renowned professors like Feng Zhixiang carried out freelance surgeries every now and then. He could not just survive on his monthly salary which was about 10,000 RMB as well as the profit he made from the drugs he administered which totalled up to about another 10,000 RMB.

Both of them talked about the case for a while on the plane, and that was considered their preoperative consultation.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

As Feng Zhixiang was already of advanced age, he fell asleep shortly after he covered himself with a blanket. Guo Mingcheng who was the chief surgeon looked at the information at hand for a bit more before taking a short nap. Soon, the plane landed.

Neither of them bought any luggage. The moment they arrived at the arrival hall, they saw a placard with ”Professor Feng Zhixiang” written on it.

”Those are probably Ding Fan's family members.” Feng Zhixiang, who had already washed his face and tidied himself up, looked extremely elegant. No sign of the sluggishness of old age could be seen on him at all.

”Yes, my name is Ding Zhong. Professor Feng, we have met in Beijing before. Director Li from Heavenly Goodness of the Century was the one who introduced you to me.” The second son of the Ding family made use of his connections.

Feng Zhixiang nodded with a smile.

With his position, there were often people seeking treatment from him through connections. This was especially true when it came to hepatectomy, which was a matter of life and death. It was only par for the course that all of the patients' family members would try all means and use all connections to get the best doctor possible. Feng Zhixiang understood this very well.

Besides, he did kind of remember the Director Li from Heavenly Goodness of the Century whom the second son of the Ding family was talking about. This was why he still flashed the middle-aged man before him a smile even though he did not really remember him.

”Nice to meet you, Mister Ding.” Feng Zhixing shook Ding Zhong's hand lightly and said, ”Why don't we head to the hospital first and talk while we are on the way?”

”Sure.” When Ding Zhong saw that Feng Zhixiang seemed quite amiable, he heaved an internal sigh of relief. He then started utilizing the interpersonal communication skills he had garnered from being a businessman to chat with Feng zhixiang.

By the time Feng Zhixiang entered the car, he was already in a very good mood.

It was always a joyous thing to be flattered.

Ding Zhong rented a Toyota Coaster, while the families of Ding Fan's three other children were waiting in three other cars so that they could meet the doctors who would be operating on their father as soon as possible. At the same time, Department Director He Yuanzheng was also here to welcome Professor Feng together with another doctor from his department. They were totally showing Professor Feng a lot of respect.

Feng Zhixiang had seen a lot of the world and had met all kinds of family members of patients. After he gauged how Ding Fan's family members were like, he first spoke some words of consolation and made a bit of small talk. He then continued, ”I have carried out many similar surgeries. Your father's condition is relatively complicated, and this is exactly why we're ready to take on the challenge. Of course, the surgery is very risky. You guys must me mentally prepared.”

If Guo Mingcheng, who was beside Feng Zhixiang, were to say all this, the patient's family members definitely would not buy it.

However, the patient's family members felt a lot more at ease when they heard these words from Feng Zhixiang, who looked experienced and level-headed.

After Feng Zhixiang was done with the pleasantries, Guo Mingcheng came forward and talked about the risk of the surgery as well as the patient's critical condition.

Feng Zhixiang then spoke more pleasant words, and by the time he finished speaking, they had almost arrived at Yun Hua Hospital.

”We feel at ease that you're treating our father, Professor Feng.” Ding Zhong glanced at the other people in the car and continued. ”I've searched up some information online, and according to all of them, you the best general surgeon in our country…”

”I wouldn't dare to say that.” Feng Zhixiang chuckled and cut Ding Zhong off.

Guo Mingcheng furrowed his eyebrows a little. Doctors of his generation would get vexed whenever they hear about patients searching for information online.

Many of the things that were posted online were not actually true even though they sounded legitimate, and it was way too much of a hassle for doctors to explain things to those patients. The worst thing was that sometimes, doctors were not even able to come out with words to refute the information posted online. However, they knew very well that those were false information, and this was truly infuriating.

Ding Zhong continued wearing a big smile on his face. ”Professor Feng, you're so humble. As the patient's family members, seeing a doctor like you really puts our minds at ease. We'll be entrusting our father to your care.”

”Yes, please take good care of our father.” His siblings immediately joined him in flattering Professor Feng.

Feng Zhixiang continued to console them before entering the building of Yun Hua Hospital.

All the doctors from the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery as well as some curious doctors had gathered at the lobby to wait for Professor Feng's arrival.

”I'll get the job done first. We'll chat later,” Feng Zhixiang said this with a smile on his face, but in reality, he did not feel like chatting at all. He walked straight into the operating theater and headed to the changing room. He then started panting loudly.

”Professor, how do you feel?” Guo Mingcheng stood beside Feng Zhixiang and asked carefully.

”I'm okay, just a little tired.” Feng Zhixiang smiled and took a deep breath. ”After watching all of you graduate, it will be time for me to retire.”

”Teacher, you've really done a lot for us.” Guo Mingcheng wore a guilty expression. He knew that his professor was actually talking about watching all of them becoming department directors, even though he said that he wanted to watch them graduate. Department directors were doctors who got to spread their wings the most with the least restrictions.

However, not all departments are the same. A department in a large hospital in Beijing and a department in a local tertiary Grade A hospital were two entirely different things. For Guo Mingcheng, the best case scenario would be to stay in the hospital he was in and inherit Feng Zhixian's legacy after he retired.

As he thought of this, Guo Mingcheng felt calmer and calmer.

He was already in the zone to carry out a surgery.
