The Surgeon's Studio

After the surgery, Zheng Ren felt extremely comfortable. All his pores were exuding a pleasant atmosphere. He lowered his head and finished the last stitch, roaring, “Down…”

As soon as he said that, Zheng Ren immediately sensed a sharp gaze on him.

A strong desire to live arose from the bottom of his heart. Zheng Ren swallowed the last few words.

He raised his head and saw Xie Yiren looking at him with a serious gaze that he had never seen before. Zheng Ren immediately smiled apologetically.

Wearing a hat and a mask, he could only use his eyes to express his intentions.

“When was the last time you slept?” Xie Yiren asked in a low and stern voice.

“Around 22 hours ago. The Boss slept all the way here from the hospital in Pengxi Village. He hasn’t slept since then.” Zheng Ren didn’t say anything but Su Yun reported everything straightforwardly.

“When was the last time you ate?” Xie Yiren’s voice was countless times colder. Zheng Ren felt that her usually gentle eyes had become cold and stern.

“I ate a bite before I went to sleep. The Boss ate a bowl of rice in Pengxi Village. It’s been more than 55 hours.” Su Yun was proud. Finally, he could hang Zheng Ren to dry outside.

“And you still want to continue on with surgery? Do you want to die?” Xie Yiren whispered, “Rest for three hours. I’ll go out and buy you food.”

Zheng Ren felt that he had unlimited energy now. Just as he was about to say something, he felt that cold gaze suddenly become sharp, like a knife stabbing his body.

“Uh… Okay…” Zheng Ren hesitated for a moment and replied.

It was also good to rest for a while. He had not eaten for two days and could not endure it just by relying on the energy drinks. This time, when he suddenly saw Xie Yiren, it made his spirit jolt but still could not bring about a fundamental change.

“Pick up the patient!” Su Yun roared. Then, he raised his head to look at Zheng Ren and asked, “Boss, are you going to say it or should I?”

“I’ll go. Don’t let the operating table be occupied three hours later,” Zheng Ren said.

Xie Yiren lowered her head to pack up the surgical supplies. Zheng Ren gave her a deep look before he turned around and walked out of the operating theater.

Two doctors were in the operating theater looking at Zheng Ren’s thrombectomy image. When they saw Zheng Ren walk out, they stood up immediately. Because they were too anxious, the chair slid backward and hit the wall with a bang.

Because they got up too quickly, the person who was sitting almost fell down.

Uh… What happened?

Zheng Ren looked at the two doctors in confusion. The older one among them asked politely, “Doctor Zheng, what do you need?”

Zheng Ren had not left the operating theater all this time. He thought that the doctors from Chengdu Provincial Hospital were really polite, so he smiled and said, “I need to arrange a table in the operating theater. Who should I look for?”

“Arrange a table?” The young doctor was stunned. An older doctor in his forties next to him immediately realized something and asked, “Doctor Zheng, you must be tired.”

“Yes, I’ve been running around for five to six days so I need a place to sleep for three hours,” Zheng Ren said. “I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to stand up after waking up, so I thought of informing you in advance.”

“Oh, leave this to me. I’ll talk to the chief nurse,” the older doctor immediately said. “Is three hours enough? Just now, Chief Chen said that you didn’t seem to have much rest in Pengxi Village. Why don’t you sleep a little longer?”

“No, that’s alright. Thank you.” Zheng Ren let out a long sigh. The doctors from Chengdu Provincial Hospital were indeed very polite, but he was unable to save his words with them.

The older doctor did not deliberately say anything. He only arranged for the young doctor to go and report to the head nurse of the operating theater. He said that it was an appointment under Doctor Zheng and that he would be back in another three hours.

Zheng Ren did not even know when he had become famous.

The operating theater’s chief nurse was such a terrifying existence.

Usually, the younger chief physicians would not dare to talk to the operating theater’s chief nurse. Was this really a good idea?

Zheng Ren wanted to say that it was better to ask the department chief himself. After all, this was a special period and the operating theater’s operating tables were in short supply. The old doctor extended his hand and said politely, “Doctor Zheng, let me introduce myself. I’m Huang Dazhi from the interventional department of Chengdu Provincial Hospital. I hold the department chief position.”

“Hello, Professor Huang,” Zheng Ren said gently as he extended his hand and.

“I wouldn’t dare to be called as such,” Professor Huang quickly said. “With your surgical skills, you don’t have to be so polite with me.”

Zheng Ren did not think much of it and smiled slightly.

“Doctor Zheng, there are too many people in the operating theatre’s duty room. Our chief said that as long as you want to rest, you can just go straight to his office,” Professor Huang said.

“That…isn’t good.” Zheng Ren hesitated for a moment.

“What’s not good about it!” Professor Huang became serious as he said, “The number of surgeries you’ve done alone is equivalent to the amount done by three to four people. It’s our duty to help you a little. If you insist on being so polite, we will really be embarrassed.”

“I still have my assistant…” Zheng Ren looked through the lead-lined glass and saw that Xie Yiren was swiftly packing up the surgical instruments.

The hospitals in the country were almost the same. The only difference was the details. Xie Yiren had received the care of some people. She did not even need to wash the surgical instruments and just needed to tidy them up.

Su Yun had just carried the patient onto the stretcher trolley and was about to come out.

“It’s okay. There’s still a quiet place,” Professor Huang said.

That’s good. Zheng Ren nodded and did not say anything.

“Boss, go to the duty room and sleep. Don’t sleep on the floor in the corridor.” Su Yun was afraid that Zheng Ren would reject his offer. Although Xie Yiren was watching over him, he was still afraid that this guy’s head would be filled with water, so he quickly walked out and went to intervene.

“Go to the intervention department and sleep for three hours… It’s now 10.15pm. We’ll start the show at 1.30am sharp,” Zheng Ren said as he looked at the time on the machine.

Su Yun didn’t care. As long as he could lie down on a bed and sleep quietly for a while, it would be fine. After coming out of the Imperial Capital, he didn’t sleep much nor have a good meal. He was on the verge of collapse.

Zheng Ren saw Xie Yiren handing over the things to the circulating nurse, so he said, “Wait for me.”

“Yes, I’ll wait for you.” Professor Huang was already so old so how could he not be grateful that the additional help Zheng Ren gave? Since he had the time, he treasured it very much. He pulled out an image and asked, “Doctor Zheng, how did your guide wire pass through this position?”

Zheng Ren looked at Xie Yiren’s back. His face was filled with a smile that came from the bottom of his heart. He was already in a daze.

After Professor Huang finished speaking, he was stunned for a full three seconds. It was not until Su Yun bumped into him with his shoulder that he asked in shock, “What’s wrong?”

“He’s asking you how you did the operation.” Su Yun knew that Zheng Ren was partly distracted because of Xie Yiren’s arrival and partly because he was really tired. He did not rebuke him and simply reminded him in a low voice.

Zheng Ren took off his mask and took two deep breaths.

He had been wearing the mask the whole time, so his breathing was not smooth.

“Here, it’s like this.” Zheng Ren glanced at the screen and knew what Professor Huang meant. He immediately began to explain.
