The Surgeon's Studio

Chapter 533: Helping People

Because the distance between the Imperial City and Sea City was close enough, the plane had to land not long after it had soared up into the air. The trip usually averaged about an hour and a half.

Moreover, Sea City was a small place so the skies were empty. There were almost no planes, so flights being delayed were unheard of.

Not only would it not be late, but almost every flight from the Imperial City would arrive 20 to 30 minutes earlier.

Only small cities would receive such treatment of flights arriving earlier.

After washing up, Zheng Ren saw Feng Xuhui’s car waiting for him downstairs.

Zheng Ren called Old Chief Physician Pan and asked for leave to pick up Chief Kong.

After Feng Xuhui rejected Chairman Ma last time, he became more concerned about Zheng Ren.

Although he did not visit the department often, he would come over to the emergency ward almost every night. By chatting with the doctor on duty, delivering drinks, ordering dinner, and other things that made others feel good, he was able to find out Zheng Ren’s recent routine in detail.

He had to cling to Zheng Ren’s thigh. Feng Xuhui had to tell himself this a few times every day.

Look at that German professor’s attitude. He came all the way to Sea City and even learned how to speak in a Northeastern dialect. How had he mustered such spirit?

Even if he was not as good as the German professor, how could he make himself stand out in a highly competitive and highly-valued medical equipment market?

Zheng Ren came down a few minutes later and sat in the front passenger seat.

“Chief Zheng, who are you picking up?” Feng Xuhui asked as he changed gears and stepped lightly on the accelerator.

“It’s Chief Kong. You’d probably know him.”

Feng Xuhui tactfully did not continue asking.

It was not important what Chief Kong was here for. What was important was that he had actually come twice in a month!

Did the chief of a Class Three Grade-A hospital located in Imperial City have so much time on his hands?

Definitely not.

There must have been a reason for him to come this way. An ant like him could only just follow along.

Zheng Ren spent most of his time staring out the window at the snow-covered plains in a daze. Feng Xuhui was in a difficult position.

The atmosphere was made awkward by the two of them being so quiet.

However, if he spoke and interrupted Chief Zheng’s thoughts, would he be blamed?

It was not good for him to say anything, but it was not great for him to keep quiet either.

Feng Xuhui truly felt that Chief Zheng was a good person in every way, but the fact that he was unwilling to speak was too unbearable.

Fortunately, the journey to the airport was short. The BMW X5 was a decent car in terms of its performance. Feng Xuhui did not interrupt Zheng Ren’s thoughts. Instead, he tried to drive the car as fast and as steadily as possible.

Soon, they arrived at the airport and took a look at the flight times. They were exactly half an hour early.

At this time, the plane had already landed and was taxiing on the runway.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Chief Kong was the first to walk out of the door.

Once he had given him a warm handshake, Zheng Ren respectfully invited Chief Kong into the car.

This time, he did not sit in the front passenger seat. Instead, he sat in the backseat with Chief Kong.

“Boss Zheng, Professor Rudolph has been staying with you for so long. Did you guys have a good time together?” Chief Kong asked.

“I’m fine, but I guess he’s rich... Professor Rudolph is leaving soon,” Zheng Ren said.

“I heard that he found a patient with prostate hyperplasia? Did he perform the surgery?”

“Yes, he managed to pull it off. The urethral catheter has been removed. The patient’s urination was smooth and there seem to be no post-op side effects,” Zheng Ren said with a smile.

Chief Kong pondered.

Zheng Ren did not care. He simply asked, “Chief Kong, you came personally this time to...”

“I reported to the hospital that you want to be transferred to the Capital,” Chief Kong said. “How is it, Little Zheng? Do you have anything you want to voice out?”

Zheng Ren fell silent with a troubled expression on his face.

Feng Xuhui’s ears perked up. Chief Zheng was going to the Capital? How was he going to follow him there? This was a big deal!

Looking at Zheng Ren’s expression, Chief Kong did not make things difficult for him. If he were to reject him there and then, it would hurt his feelings. What a joke. A few seconds or a moment of hesitation was enough.

“I’m joking, Little Zheng,” Chief Kong said with a smile.

Zheng Ren heaved a sigh of relief.

“But Little Zheng, the Director and Deputy Director have entrusted me to seek your opinion this time.” When Chief Kong mentioned the two directors, he subconsciously straightened up his back.

“Oh? What opinion?”

“Our hospital with Sea City General Hospital have formed a mutual aid partnership. We will exchange people between the hospitals to learn from each other,” Chief Kong in an official manner.

Feng Xuhui’s brain suddenly short-circuited.

The Class Three Grade-A hospital in the Imperial City and Sea City General Hospital were helping each other? Were they trying to help the community? Currently, the number of available staff members in the Class Three Grade-A hospital was very scarce. Where would they have the spare manpower to help Sea City General Hospital?

Feng Xuhui did not understand but Zheng Ren did.

He hesitated for a moment and asked, “Should we send a few doctors from the emergency department to help our hospital?”

Chief Kong smiled and nodded.

Zheng Ren’s expression suddenly became a little strange.

“Little Zheng, it’s because of your abilities that this offer has been made. However, this is also the limit of my ability so I have to seize the opportunity while I can,” Chief Kong said bluntly, not shying away.

Zheng Ren’s heart was slightly moved as he looked at Chief Kong.

“Sea City is too small. It’s not big enough to accommodate a God like you.” Chief Kong stopped smiling as he said what was on his mind. “I know what you’re trying to do. You just want to wait for Old Chief Physician Pan to retire. However, we soldiers are sensitive to other’s enthusiasm. While it’s not much, this was the best idea that we could come up with.”

Zheng Ren was silent for a long time before he said, “Thank you.”

“You’re very polite, aren’t you?” Chief Kong heaved a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that Zheng Ren had gone mad and would not agree to such a good offer.

Regarding the transfer, he would have to drag Zheng Ren to the Imperial Capital first. When the time came, he would not be able to refuse.

In short, the old fox Chief Kong had put in a lot of effort in order to drag Zheng Ren to the Imperial Capital.

Feng Xuhui’s ears were constantly twitching. He could hear every word that Zheng Ren and Chief Kong were saying.

Chief Zheng was going to the Capital...

That was the only thought in Feng Xuhui’s mind.

What should he do? Should he hand over Zheng Ren’s relationship with him to his colleagues in the Capital? Or... Feng Xuhui wanted to cry but had no tears.

He had just turned down the managerial position in the company’s overseas department and Chief Zheng was going to leave.

How could he play with people like that!

Feng Xuhui had encountered the biggest crisis in his life.

Zheng Ren did not notice the change in Feng Xuhui’s mood at all. He chatted and laughed with Chief Kong all the way to Sea City General Hospital.

When they arrived at Sea City General Hospital, Chief Kong and Zheng Ren went to Old Chief Physician Pan’s office first.

They had to get straight to business first. Chief Kong was very clear about this.

When Old Chief Physician Pan heard Chief Kong’s official explanation, he was stunned for a moment before becoming overjoyed.

Looking at the thriving emergency ward of Sea City General Hospital, Old Chief Physician Pan knew this had all been thanks to Zheng Ren’s efforts alone.

He could not possibly hold back Zheng Ren’s future.

Even Zheng Ren could understand Chief Kong’s official explanation, unable to escape Old Chief Physician Pan’s discerning eye.

It just so happened that in the Imperial Capital, he was given a pillow when he was trying to force himself to fall asleep. Old Chief Physician Pan felt greatly comforted.
