Zheng Ren rushed back to the emergency department and saw Old Chief Physician Pan chatting with someone in the hall. Both of them seemed to be in a good mood as they laughed heartily from time to time.
That person looked familiar. Who was it?
For a late-stage face blindness patient like Zheng Ren, it was difficult to remember people who he did not meet every day.
Even if he had a 150 + IQ and a photographic memory.
It was undoubtedly an SS-level difficulty for a face-blind patient to recognize a stranger from the back.
"Chief Physician Pan, I'm back," Zheng Ren said as he approached them.
"Old San is looking for you to thank you. Hurry up and go home for dinner," Old Chief Physician Pan said.
Zheng Ren finally saw who it was. Old Chief Physician Pan's words reminded him that this was the butler of the richest man in Sea City — Elder San.
He did not know the relationship between Old Chief Physician Pan and Elder San and why Chief Physician Pan addressed Elder San as Old San.
"Elder San, we meet again." Zheng Ren smiled gently and elegantly.
"Doctor Zheng, you're young and promising," Elder San said.
"Let's not stand here and exchange pleasantries." Old Chief Physician Pan waved his hand and stopped the two men from exchanging pleasantries. "We're almost at the end of the corridor, so I won't let you sit in my office. I heard that Zheng Ren was in a coma due to hypoglycemia. Old San, hurry up and take him to dinner. I'm warning you, if anyone dares to force him to drink, I'll give you a hard time tomorrow. "
Elder San smiled and waved his hand, indicating that the situation Old Chief Physician Pan mentioned would not happen.
"Chief Physician Pan, the patient …" Zheng Ren was still worried about the hundreds of patients with nitrite poisoning, afraid that an accident would occur.
This was how the medical industry was. Accidents could not be avoided no matter how capable one was.
Even if they were saved, who could guarantee that they would not suffer from liver and kidney failure? Who could guarantee that a transient toxic shock would not lead to other diseases?
"The hospital will stop operating without you?" Old Chief Physician Pan scolded, his eyes full of love as if he was looking at his youngest and most beloved son. "I approve you to turn off your phone and sleep tonight. I won't look for you even if the sky falls."
Zheng Ren nodded.
Young doctors, senior attending physicians, chief residents living in hospitals with nowhere to return to, deputy chief physicians, and chief physicians all had a habit — their phones were on 24 hours a day.
If the phone rang in the middle of the night, if it was a call from the hospital, the adrenaline would soar immediately before the call was answered. There was no such thing as a horse being lazy in bed or a horse being grumpy after waking up.
For this major rescue, Sea City General Hospital had mobilized the entire hospital's resources. There were hundreds of patients, so they needed a lot of medical staff to work together.
If they were relying on Zheng Ren alone … most of the patients would probably be dead by now.
Zheng Ren smiled and nodded.
"Doctor Zheng, this way please." San Ye was warm and amiable. His words and mannerisms made people feel happy.
After saying goodbye to Old Chief Physician Pan, Zheng Ren and Elder San left the emergency building.
A black limousine was parked in front of the door. Zheng Ren had never studied luxury cars before, so he had no idea what brand it was and how luxurious it was.
An honest-looking chauffeur in a suit and bow tie opened the door and bowed to invite the two of them in.
Zheng Ren noticed that the car's doors opened in opposite directions, unlike ordinary family cars and SUVs that opened in the same direction.
After chatting with Elder San for a while, Zheng Ren felt a wave of exhaustion wash over him.
People are not made of iron.
During the rescue, his body automatically secreted adrenaline, which made him forget his fatigue and hunger. Now that everything had been fed back to him, Zheng Ren just wanted to lie in bed and have a good night's sleep.
Even the most luxurious car could not move fast in the early evening.
Nearly half an hour later, the black limousine arrived at the entrance of a plain, ordinary courtyard.
There was a black signboard on the lintel with four ancient words written in flamboyant calligraphy — Red Clay Pavilion.
Two waiters stood at the entrance. They opened the car door and quietly and professionally escorted Elder San and Zheng Ren inside.
The courtyard was not big, with a rockery and flowing water. It created a sense of paradise in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the city.
However, Zheng Ren did not have a single elegant bone in his body and was not interested in such ingenious designs.
What a joke. Those who could afford such things were not short of money. What had Zheng Ren not suffered in order to support himself? He did not have the leisure to think about such things.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, a woman in a red trench coat with black hair draped over her shoulders came out to welcome them.
"Doctor Zheng, I finally meet you," said the woman … probably a girl, politely and gently.
She was extremely beautiful with snow-white skin that glowed with a layer of luster. She looked like a fairy carved from a large piece of raw jade.
Her eyebrows were picturesque and her hair was like the wind. Her bright eyes were like stars that could see straight into Zheng Ren's heart.
However, he could not tell the woman's age.
Based on her free and easy judgment, she had the temperament of a successful woman in her thirties or forties who had been in the business world for more than a decade.
Moreover, there was a hint of childishness in her eyes, suggesting that she was in her twenties.
Zheng Ren was stunned for a moment, but immediately responded with a gentle smile. He stepped forward and extended his hand.
Her cold fingers brushed past Zheng Ren's hand like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water.
"I'm Bu Li, the daughter of Bu Yunge. Doctor Zheng, please come in. "The woman called Bu Li politely gestured for Zheng Ren to enter.
Zheng Ren had an impression of the richest man in Sea City. His surname was indeed Bu. Moreover, Bu Yunge had performed at least ten full-hospital consultations before the surgery, so Zheng Ren still remembered his name clearly.
However, Bu Yunge's daughter was called Bu Li. The name was too simple.
After entering the house and taking a seat, a chef with a white hat that almost reached the ceiling was cooking various delicacies on the table.
Zheng Ren had never seen such a scene before and was not interested in it. It was not enough to make him feel amazed and lick the food.
In his opinion, it was just vegetables, snails, and undercooked steak.
Seeing Zheng Ren's calm expression and lack of surprise, Master San's interest was piqued. As they chatted and laughed, all sorts of strange and unusual things came to Zheng Ren's mind, which was to Zheng Ren's liking.
Bu Li would occasionally say a few words, comment on the dishes, and give advice. Although she did not say much, it made Master San's conversation more interesting.
The food was bland and the beef was undercooked. Zheng Ren was not full and missed the skewer shop in front of his house.
Eating a few skewers and drinking a bottle of cold Coke was what life was like.
Both Old Master San and Bu Li were astute people. They exchanged a glance and said, "Doctor Zheng, I have to thank you for helping me with my father's surgery."
"You're welcome. It's what a doctor should do." Zheng Ren smiled.
"There's no such thing as' should 'or' shouldn't '. From what I understand, no matter how much you do, you'll still be the scapegoat." Bu Li understood.
The world was more or less the same.
Zheng Ren smiled and did not say anything.
"Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise. Doctor Zheng, Old Pan has taken a liking to you in the emergency department. Your future is limitless, "Master San said.
"Hehe, I'm used to it," Zheng Ren said lightly. "In the hospital, you can see all kinds of people in the world, so many things have gradually become indifferent to them.
For example, most vegetative patients' caregivers are mothers.
For example, spouses would rather give up treatment.
For example, children who take care of their parents in old age are usually not the most favored ones in the family.
For example, if a girl comes for ectopic pregnancy, the first thing to do is to catch the man who brought her here and not let him run away. Otherwise, no one will pay for the medical expenses. "
Zheng Ren's voice was calm, like an old man who had seen through the world sitting in front of the fire. The cold wind outside the house was biting cold, but it was quiet inside. With a blanket on his knees, he was warming himself by the fire and reminiscing about the past.
A vicissitude of life greeted him.
Master San nodded. As an old man, he had long seen through these trivial matters.
Bu Li's eyes dimmed and said, "Doctor Zheng understands. Every family's situation is different, but the things in the world are similar. It's really not worth it. "
