Chapter 538: Specialized In Treating All Kinds Of Illnesses
One pot was stewing catfish and eggplant, while the other had mushrooms and chicken.
When they entered the room, the aroma itself was enough to make anyone salivate in hunger.
Professor Rudolf Wagner was particularly interested in this idea of taking off one’s shows and eating while sitting on the floor. He simply sat there and looked around, curious about everything.
Charcoal and iron pots were just one of the shop’s characteristics. Old newspaper clippings covered the wall. Their dark yellow color seed to be evidence of their passage of ti. The vats used for drinking water were made from enal used decades ago. They had already flaked in so many parts, weathered to a point that it made rich kids who were used to drinking from goblets feel like this was a new novelty.
Old Chief Physician Pan and Departnt Chief Kong sat down and began to chat. Since they had both started out in the army, they referred to each other by their number during their ti in service. Although one now worked in the Capital’s Tertiary Grade-A hospitals and the other was simply a military doctor from a basic general hospital, they still communicated at ease with each other.
With their interests in their conversation high, one vat of white wine was quickly consud.
Su Yun did not have any intention of stealing the lilight. He just followed suit and took small sips. As such, no one paid attention to him.
The taste of stewed catfish and eggplant was completely different from the taste of normal Cantonese cuisine. It was heavy in oil and taste but was still especially fragrant. The food was delicious.
After three rounds of drinking, Old Chief Physician Pan and Departnt Chief Kong were both slightly tipsy. They stopped drinking and began to talk about serious business.
The so-called serious business was the Capital’s first-aid departnt sending in people to replace Zheng Ren in the na of supporting the local community.
Things like these were done with a sort of tacit understanding as saying it directly would leave a bad taste in everyone’s mouths.
Departnt Chief Kong was a good person but once he got down to business, his conviction was like a long speech that would never end.
First of all, he understood the significance of supporting the local community for soone like Old Chief Physician Pan who had retired from the army. Zheng Ren only heard that small bit before he started to feel sleepy.
In Zheng Ren’s opinion... Well, forget it. Departnt Chief Kong’s drunk self was simply bragging, but he was still a decent guy when he was sober.
On the other hand, Professor Rudolf Wagner was very curious about everything. He looked across the room and was not drinking then. In fact, no matter how much Old Chief Physician Pan tried to get him to drink, he shook his head like a rattle-drum and refused.
It was probably because of how drunk he had gotten drinking with Chang Yue the last ti.
Zheng Ren felt very bored. After eating for almost twenty minutes, he ate a few large pancakes stuck to the side of the pot at the end and beca very full.
He listened to the two old chiefs reminiscing about their bittersweet mories together, talking about the army’s glorious traditions... Although Zheng Ren respected Old Chief Physician Pan from the bottom of his heart, even he could not bother to listen to Departnt Chief Kong’s flattery of Old Chief Physician Pan.
Zheng Ren did not know what Little Yiren was doing at that mont. In front of the two chiefs, Zheng Ren was too embarrassed to take out his phone and chat with her.
On the other side, Su Yun was like a fish in the water. He took every opportunity to make the two departnt chiefs very happy. He even took the ti to teach Professor Rudolf Wagner how to eat a big pancake stuck to the side of the pot.
Zheng Ren was in a daze. While waiting for the party to end, Old Chief Physician Pan and Departnt Chief Kong suddenly spoke louder.
It was about...
He listened carefully. It turned out that Old Chief Physician Pan thought that the ergency departnt was very busy and needed more than the number of people Departnt Chief Kong was going to provide. Departnt Chief Kong assud that since Sea City General Hospital was only a small local hospital, there would not be so many ergency cases.
They were discussing their bargaining chip and Zheng Ren knew that it was him.
However, he did not have the right to say anything. Both Departnt Chief Kong and Old Chief Physician Pan were sincerely doing all of this for his own good.
Everything was a favor for him. Zheng Ren leaned his cheek against his palm and started daydreaming again.
“I’ll observe Boss Zheng’s TIPS surgery in the next two days and also check the volu of ergency cases that go through. I don’t believe that there’d be so many ergency cases in Sea City when it has such a small population!” Departnt Chief Kong downed his drink and said straightforwardly.
When Zheng Ren heard the first half of the sentence, goosebumps appeared all over his back. He wanted to stop Departnt Chief Kong but was lost in thought then. Before he could speak up, Departnt Chief Kong had already made such bold remarks.
“Don’t...” Zheng Ren swallowed the rest of his words as it was already too late.
An ominous premonition enveloped Zheng Ren’s heart.
“Huh?” Departnt Chief Kong did not know what Zheng Ren was going to say. He looked at him in surprise.
Su Yun smiled bitterly. He put down his chopsticks and whispered, “I’m afraid I’ll be busy tonight.”
In the clinic, they were most afraid of such headstrong personalities. The night shift god specialized in treating all kinds of incurable diseases and was filled with divine wisdom.
It could probably be guessed that Departnt Chief Kong had not been the one to receive ergency cases over the last few years. Even if ergency surgery was needed, his chief resident would probably be able to handle it. Every year, he would be brought outstation and the task was primarily handled by the healthcare team there. Furthermore, there were also very few ergency treatnts needed in most major hospitals.
After being away from the ergency departnt for so long, he had lost his respect for the night shift god.
Zheng Ren and Su Yun looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
“Boss Zheng, what’s wrong?” Departnt Chief Kong asked, puzzled.
To be honest, the few glasses of wine that Old Chief Physician Pan and Departnt Chief Kong had between them was not much as Old Pan himself was old and Departnt Chief Kong did not want him to drink too much.
He was not drunk at all and knew the fact very well. Therefore, Departnt Chief Kong did not understand Zheng Ren’s expression. Had he said sothing wrong just then?
“It’s nothing.” Zheng Ren stretched his legs and was ready to return to the hospital.
He was afraid that things would be non-stop tonight.
Zheng Ren’s cellphone suddenly rang, breaking the awkwardness at the table.
Because he was ntally prepared, Zheng Ren’s blood pressure and heart rate did not suddenly increase. He took a glance and saw that it was the ergency departnt calling.
“Chief Zheng, there’s a ti-sensitive case that needs to be looked at and all nearby first-aid ambulances are out,” said soone from the other end of the call.
“Got it. I’ll be back right away.” After Zheng Ren said that, he hung up the phone.
Zheng Ren raised his head helplessly and looked at Departnt Chief Kong with a hint of bitterness.
Departnt Chief Kong laughed and said, “Old Chief Physician Pan, thank you for your hospitality. I’ll go and check on the situation at Sea City General Hospital. If there are more ergency cases, I’ll apply with the hospital to send over more people. ”
Zheng Ren called a cab and rushed straight back to Sea City General Hospital with Su Yun and Departnt Chief Kong in tow.
Su Yun drank so wine. Although he was not of old age, he did not want to show himself in such a state in front of the patient. Because of that, he went straight to the operating theatre and asked Zheng Ren to call him if there was anything.
Zheng Ren and Chief Kong went straight to the ergency room.
The patient had not arrived yet so the ergency departnt was still quiet for the ti being. Zheng Ren took the ti to change his clothes and waited at the ergency room’s entrance.
“Boss Zheng, are there many ergency rooms here?” Departnt Chief Kong asked this while in his casual wear.
“Departnt Chief Kong, if you didn’t say anything then everything would have been alright.” Zheng Ren was still in a bad mood. He had been eating well when Departnt Chief Kong had insisted on making that comnt. Well, now he was going to see it for himself.
The shrill sound of the first-aid ambulance ca from afar. Zheng Ren was prepared like a soldier ready for battle.
Since he did not receive a call from the first-aid ambulance, Zheng Ren knew that it probably was not that big of a deal but still, he did not relax. Instead, he waited attentively.
The paradic had already pushed the stretcher trolley to the door to wait, but Zheng Ren saw him quickly push the empty stretcher trolley away as a group of middle-aged n in disheveled clothes imdiately exited the ambulance.
What the hell was going on? If there were blood and screams, Zheng Ren would have been used to it.
However, when such a quiet group of people walked in, Zheng Ren was sowhat unsure of how to proceed.
