Ignoring the girls in the WeChat group who were discussing what to have for dinner, Zheng Ren started reading Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery.
He only needed 100 skill points to reach the Master rank. This was more tempting than a sumptuous dinner.
Soon, the WeChat group went silent.
A few minutes later, Chu Yanran, Chu Yanzhi, and Xie Yiren changed and went to the emergency ward to look for Zheng Ren and Chang Yue.
"Chief Zheng, we've decided. You're treating tonight. We're going out for dinner and we'll bring you takeout," Chu Yanzhi informed Zheng Ren.
"…" Zheng Ren was speechless. "Me again?"
"Hey, you're a clinical doctor. Do you have to be so stingy?" Chu Yanzhi laughed. "Look at his face. I told you he'd have a heart attack if you let him treat us to dinner, but you didn't believe me."
"…"
"I'm just kidding. We're going out for dinner and then we'll bring it back," Chu Yanran explained to Zheng Ren.
Oh, I see. Zheng Ren was relieved after listening to Chu Yanran's explanation.
Anything was fine as long as he did not have to spend money.
"What doctor? I'm just a poor chief resident." He still had to explain.
"Let's go to the ICU to find Su Yun. He said the patient's condition has stabilized. Go take a look and tell him we'll wait for him for dinner. We'll probably leave after changing," Chu Yanzhi said.
Since when did this guy respect his superiors so much?
Zheng Ren thought. He had planned to check on the postoperative patient in an hour anyway, so there was nothing wrong with doing it earlier.
Zheng Ren put on his white coat and went to the ICU with the four girls.
It was a unique combination. The four girls had their own strengths and they talked and laughed behind Zheng Ren, causing passersby to turn their heads.
There was a corridor leading from the emergency building to the inpatient department, so they did not have to walk outside. Otherwise, it would be rude to push the patient back from the snowy ground after surgery.
The ICU was located on the sixteenth floor of the first inpatient building. There were four elevators. Apart from the special elevator for transporting patients, the other three elevators led to specific floors.
After a few minutes, the elevator to the fifteenth floor opened. They did not hesitate and got in.
Although it was not the sixteenth floor, it was not a big deal to climb one floor. They did not know how long it would take for the elevator to reach the sixteenth floor.
Ding dong ~ ~ ~ The elevator had reached the fifteenth floor, which sounded like the System's mission announcement. Zheng Ren was a little dazed.
After getting off the elevator, they walked toward the fire escape.
Suddenly, Chang Yue, who was walking in front, slowed down. She tilted her head to the side and swung her ponytail.
Hmm? Zheng Ren suddenly had a premonition, a bad premonition.
Sure enough, following Chang Yue's gaze, she saw a black figure sitting on the fifteenth floor's windowsill. The chilly wind blew his sparse black hair into the air, twirling the snowflakes around him. He looked lifeless.
Chang Yue did not say anything to the three of them. She turned around and approached the person sitting on the windowsill as gently as a cat.
Xie Yiren was about to speak in a daze when Zheng Ren pulled her over and covered her mouth with his hand. Xie Yiren was shocked. Just as she was about to break free, she heard Zheng Ren whisper in her ear, "Don't make a sound."
She hesitated, but did not move.
"This side." Zheng Ren said in a mosquito-like voice. Then, he let go of her hand and made a gesture. He turned the corner and walked to the fire escape, hiding in a dark corner.
Xie Yiren, Chu Yanran, and Chu Yanzhi followed him quietly, afraid that they would make any noise and provoke the person sitting on the windowsill.
This was suicide … Zheng Ren panicked.
Every year in the hospital, people would commit suicide by jumping off buildings. Once, a patient diagnosed with cancer came to the hospital's outpatient clinic in the afternoon and jumped from the top floor without hesitation. The family members on the first floor videotaped the whole process and eventually wanted to extort hundreds of thousands of yuan from the hospital.
However, the chief of the medical administration division was very tough at the time. He fought the family for three years until they lost interest.
Of course, this was an exception. Most of them found out that they had cancer and had no intention of continuing to live, so they jumped off a building to commit suicide.
However … Even if they had cancer, there was still a possibility of survival. The medical staff definitely did not want to see this scene in front of them.
There was no one in the corridor. The lights were bright, and it was dark outside.
A few people hid in a dark corner and watched as Chang Yue walked five meters behind the person and coughed softly.
This was the most dangerous moment. If the person sensed someone approaching and jumped, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, everything was calm. The person did not do anything drastic.
Obviously, Chang Yue's actions did not arouse the person's hostility. She slowly approached until she reached the windowsill.
Unexpectedly, Chang Yue remained silent until she sat on the windowsill, hugging her legs. It was as if she was spending a lazy and monotonous afternoon basking in the warm sun on the windowsill on a warm winter's afternoon.
Zheng Ren was impressed by his junior doctor.
Was she going to talk to that person again?
Because they were seven or eight meters apart, he could only see Chang Yue's lips moving slightly. He could not hear what she said.
"What is Sister Yue doing?" Xie Yiren asked softly.
"She's trying to persuade the person not to jump off the building." Zheng Ren kept his voice low, afraid that the slightest movement would affect Chang Yue's mental state. "Just watch and don't say anything."
A few minutes later, Chang Yue suddenly tilted her head and made a smoking gesture with her hand.
Zheng Ren understood and took out the packet of Ziyun cigarettes from the pocket of his white coat. He then stuffed the lighter into the half-empty pack of cigarettes, placed it on the ground, and tossed it over.
As expected of a surgeon, the strength of her hand was just right. The pack of cigarettes silently landed under the windowsill beside Chang Yue.
She reached out and picked up the Ziyun cigarette. She deftly shook it out, lit it, and sent it out of the window.
The person caught the cigarette and Zheng Ren breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that Chang Yue's communication with her was quite good. Zheng Ren was especially impressed by Chang Yue. As expected of someone who could converse well with the man in the green hat who had lost his mind with murderous intent, persuading him to give up resistance and go straight to prison.
That was f * cking amazing!
Zheng Ren admitted that he was good at communicating with patients, but it depended on who he was compared to.
If compared to other doctors in the general surgery department, Zheng Ren would be considered outstanding. Yes, it was just a comparison. There was definitely not a huge difference.
However, if compared to Chang Yue, the distance between him and Chang Yue was like the distance between a bird and a fish. They were not even in the same world.
Zheng Ren was the kind of person who knew his limits. He did not think that he could chat with a murderer and persuade him to turn himself in.
Today, Chang Yue's skills were on full display.
The dark night, the cold wind, the falling snow, the house lamp, and the determination to die.
The gloomy and cold atmosphere disappeared in a few minutes under Chang Yue's influence. As she sat on the windowsill, a languid and warm smile appeared on her face. Zheng Ren felt as if flowers had bloomed.
Chang Yue, whose appearance could only be considered above average, was now glowing with a gentle and delicate luster that made people feel happy.
Soon, a hearty laugh was heard. Zheng Ren and the others were relieved. It seemed that everything was fine.
Occasionally, patients or family members passed by and looked at Chang Yue, who was sitting on the windowsill and chatting with the person outside, strangely.
A few minutes later, Chang Yue held the woman's hand and helped her down. The two of them were like best friends for many years.
Zheng Ren was full of admiration.
