The Surgeon's Studio

Chapter 596: Box of Lipstick Tubes

Just as Zheng Ren had expected, the patient in the gastrointestinal department did not choose to undergo surgery. Instead, after Chief Xia explained his condition, he was immediately discharged from the hospital.

The choice had nothing to do with the patient or their family.

After all, the patient’s self-prescribed symptoms had already disappeared and there was also the double gallbladder disease... It gave one the impression that it was a particularly serious disease so as long as the situation allowed for it, the patient’s family would still want them to go to the Provincial Capital or Imperial Capital to have it checked out.

Returning to the office, Zheng Ren continued to read.

The matter of Chief Xia looking for him for a consultation was like throwing a pebble into a pond, causing multiple ripples on its surface. After that, it gradually calmed down and disappeared without a trace.

He was not busy for the rest of the day. There were two patients with acute appendicitis and one patient with acute cholecystitis.

All the surgeries were carried out by Zheng Ren and Yang Lei. Su Yun was busy but Zheng Ren did not know what he was busy with.

Zheng Ren did not expect to go to the Imperial Capital so soon. His original plan was to work at Sea City General Hospital for at least another year. He would only leave after Old Chief Physician Pan had completely retired.

Yang Lei and Zheng Ren had requested to learn surgery. If he had another year, they could at least make Yang Lei into a competent chief resident.

However, Yang Lei was different from Su Yun. In terms of his intelligence... Well, it was not something worth discussing as it would make Yang Lei feel sad.

After watching a few radiographic films, Yang Lei had a clearer understanding on the type of monster he was to be able to determine the puncture point for TIPS surgery just by using an MRI scan. Even Gao Shaojie could not compare to him, let alone Yang Lei.

The biggest difference was that Yang Lei could not stay all days of the week.

Perhaps it was because everyone’s mood was bad, or perhaps Yang Lei could not endure such great hardship, or maybe even... Therefore, Yang Lei saw that his achievements would be limited.

Zheng Ren guessed that even if Yang Lei had the System’s help, he would not be able to endure a few days and nights of endless surgical training in the System’s operating room.

That being said, he still had to teach him surgery.

Whether he could learn it or not depended on his own luck.

Zheng Ren already had some experience in teaching surgery. These experiences were summed up when he used the hemostatic forceps to beat Professor Rudolf Wagner and Gao Shaojie.

To be honest, Zheng Ren seemed to like using the particular method.

Both the professor and Gao Shaojie were upgraded after being knocked by it a few times.

Especially Gao Shaojie, whose foundation was worse than the professor’s. However, he had still managed to obtain the Grandmaster level...

Zheng Ren sometimes wondered if he could also advance if someone who was better in surgery smacked him a few times.

However, the matter...was very regrettable. In terms of interventional surgery, he was considered the best then.

During the surgery, Zheng Ren did not use the hemostatic forceps to beat Yang Lei up. Instead, he tirelessly nagged at him about some small surgical techniques.

During the surgery and even afterward, he even began to draw pictures for Yang Lei. He drew certain locations and pointed out the problems with his technique and the amount of force he was using.

How much Yang Lei could master about his methods depended on how well he understood what he was saying.

Those who climbed the skill tree would eventually reach the middle and upper positions of those who were talented and willing to work hard.

A day had passed. When he got off work, Zheng Ren walked home slowly.

He enjoyed this kind of life very much. It was actually quite good that everything could be slowed down.

Unlike when he was in the emergency department, he was in a crazed state of excitement. His entire body stank with the smell of dopamine and epinephrine.

Xie Yiren was not at home. She, Chang Yue, and Su Yun were all busy.

The professor also went to join in the fun while Zheng Ren stayed behind like an old man. He stayed behind at Sea City General Hospital to settle everyone’s worries.

When he returned home, he ordered takeout. After a simple meal, Zheng Ren entered the System’s library to read.

At nine in the evening, he sent Xie Yiren a WeChat message.

After a long time, Xie Yiren replied and told him that they were ‘rehearsing’.

Zheng Ren was helpless. If that was the case, would Xie Yiren be angry when she found out that they were preparing everything for his sake?

In short, the originally simple birthday party had spiralled out of control after Chang Yue, Su Yun, and the Chu sisters had joined in.

However, Zheng Ren could feel a trace of excitement and joy in the WeChat message Xie Yiren had sent.

As children, having fun was the most important thing.

‘I’ll pay attention to the process,’ Zheng Ren thought to himself.

He washed up and went to sleep.

The night shift god did not add any more trouble and the night passed by quietly.

After that, it was a routine shift change and his ward rounds before he went to go visit his patients.

During noon, Zheng Ren went to the cafeteria for a meal. He wanted to go back to the emergency ward to take a half-hour nap to replenish his energy.

Just as he walked to the emergency ward’s entrance, he noticed a familiar figure standing there.

“Little Zheng, I’m not late, am I?” Lin Jiaojiao greeted him with a smile. The female assistant behind her was carrying an exquisite box in her hand.

“Sister Lin, you came at the right time.” Zheng Ren was not pretentious. He shook hands with Lin Jiaojiao and brought her over to the office.

Although it was a slight snub, Lin Jiaojiao was also a medical nurse so she did not mind.

It was their lunch break. Lu Tianran, who was on duty today, had already gone to the duty room to rest. The office was very quiet.

After sitting down, Lin Jiaojiao took the box from her assistant and smiled and as she said to Zheng Ren, “Little Zheng, I don’t know what color lipstick you wanted, My girl just happened to go abroad a while ago. She was there during Mr. Christian Louboutin’s new product launch, so she bought a whole limited edition set.”

Zheng Ren felt that it was probably expensive when he heard the words ‘limited edition’.

His mouth moved but before he could say anything, Lin Jiaojiao continued, “Three materials and thirty-six colors. It’s the whole set. Little Zheng, please take a look.”

As she said that, she opened the exquisite box toward Zheng Ren.

Zheng Ren was blinded by the light reflecting off of them. However, how could a straight-faced man like Zheng Ren be able to judge lipsticks when he had no preferences?

He looked at the dozens of tubes of lipstick in confusion. The lining of the box was also very exquisite but Zheng Ren could not tell what was good about it.

The assistant standing behind Lin Jiaojiao kept a constant professional smile on her face.

However, when Lin Jiaojiao opened the box, she was slightly absent-minded and revealed an envious and eager look.

Seeing Zheng Ren’s confused look, Lin Jiaojiao smiled.

Zheng Ren’s skills were well-known in the hospital.

When he faced bloody organs, his eyes were glowing. By putting limited edition lipsticks in front of him, he actually had a confused expression on his face. His emotions were standard for this sort of situation.

“Little Zheng, please accept these.” Lin Jiaojiao closed the box and said with a smile, “Don’t refuse them first. I’ll help analyze them for you.”

Before Zheng Ren could finish his sentence, Lin Jiaojiao gently rebuked him back.

He was also very curious about what Lin Jiaojiao wanted to say to him.

“I asked Brother Yun,” Lin Jiaojiao said. “Your girlfriend is young and mature. She has the aura of a queen. Since she likes this brand, she probably still has the mentality of a child who yearns to grow up.”

Zheng Ren was surprised. He was surprised that Lin Jiaojiao also called Su Yun ‘Brother Yun’.

After that, he did not understand a single word Lin Jiaojiao uttered afterward.
