Chapter 2837 Old and helpless (2)
Zhou chunyong saw that elder Peng was wearing a hazmat suit and following beside the Gurney. He was smiling from ear to ear, and it seemed like the surgery was a success. It’s done? ‘It seems like I’m a little late,’ Zhou chunyong thought to himself.
He had said that the injury to the patient would be acceptable if the surgery was completed within an hour, but it had already been more than two hours. Why was elder Peng still smiling?
Elder Peng was like a child. He was half-bent, holding his lover’s hand with one hand and stroking his white hair with the other. He was saying something, probably to comfort his lover.
Zhou chunyong was puzzled, but he did not dare to go up directly. He took a look and saw that Gao Shaojie went back after taking him to the door of the operating room. He didn’t hesitate and directly called him.
“Old Gao, how was the surgery?”
“Uh … Good? How long did you take to finish it?”
“Then why did you come out so late?”
After listening to Gao Shaojie’s explanation, Zhou chunyong let out a long sigh of relief. Perhaps the illness was ever-changing, but boss Zheng was boss Zheng, and he would never disappoint.
The surgery was completed within forty-five minutes, and an hour after the surgery, he went against “common sense” and performed an upper gastrointestinal angiography.
Zhou chunyong was also amazed by this.
As long as the surgery was successful, it was all good. He thought about it and went to the door of the changing room upstairs to wait.
After more than ten minutes, many big shots walked out with smiles on their faces. This time, Zhou chunyong was even more at ease. He saw boss Zheng among the crowd, his simple and honest face brimming with a calm and gentle smile, just like before.
Zhou chunyong understood that he could not read anything from boss Zheng’s face. Boss Zheng had always maintained a gentle and polite appearance, but in reality, he had a smile that kept people at arm’s length.
After the surgery, he could just say goodbye and leave.
However, even though he was the director of the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery in Beijing, Zhou chunyong found that he could not get close to boss Zheng.
He was a little distressed and followed behind like a little follower. He only greeted boss Zheng from a distance when boss Zheng came out of the VIP Ward after seeing the patient.
“Old Zhou, when did you arrive?” Zheng Ren bade farewell to director Yan and the others, then walked directly to Zhou chunyong’s side and asked.
“I came early in the morning. I can’t be there for this kind of thing.” Zhou chunyong laughed.
“If I had known that you would come, I would have asked old Gao to perform the surgery.” Zheng Ren smiled.”I was delayed for a while. Oh right, are you interested?”
Zhou chunyong was stunned. Boss Zheng was asking him if he was interested? What was the meaning of this? Is he inviting me to watch the surgery? It should be.
“Alright!” Zhou chunyong immediately replied.
“Director Zhou, you don’t have any surgeries in your family?” Su Yun asked with a smile.
“There’s a team of professors performing the surgery later. Isn’t elder Peng’s wife performing the surgery today? I had to come no matter what. ” Zhou chunyong laughed.”Even if we can’t squeeze in, we’ll still have to go to the ward to take a look.”
This was human nature. Zheng Ren didn’t like it, but he had to agree with this rule. He thought that if he were Zhou chunyong, he would have just received a favor from elder Peng … This matter was too complicated, and Zheng Ren did not like to think about it, so he dismissed the thought.
“Director Zhou, we’ll install the machines in the afternoon. Is everything ready on your side?” Su Yun asked.
“Everything’s ready at home, but I’m still worried. I’ll go back in the afternoon to take a look.” Zhou chunyong was finally happy to hear that.”Professor su, can I bring the 3D printed human simulator with me when I leave later?”
“Please don ‘t.” Su Yun said,”you have two mannequins in your broken car. If you get sued, the police will come to your door. It’ll be a big scene.”
Zhou chunyong knew that Su Yun had made a fool of herself once. He thought about how he would be in an awkward situation if he were to meet the people of Chaoyang City while driving the 3D-printed virtual human back.
“Feng found a truck and will send it over with the machine in the afternoon.” Su Yun was very thoughtful. She had already made all the arrangements for this side.”Just prepare the warehouse for your side. Remember to destroy it when you’re done.”
“Yes, yes. Don’t worry.” Zhou chunyong nodded his head. Just as he was about to ask about the 5g network, his phone suddenly rang.
“Oh, okay.”
“Sorry to trouble you. I’m busy with my noodles. I’ll find you for dinner another day.”
Zhou chunyong hung up the phone after saying a few simple words. Before he could say anything, Zheng Ren asked,”patient?”
“Uh …” Zhou chunyong was stunned for a moment, then he told the truth,”an old friend of my mother ‘S. He ate rat poison and was sent to the hospital of the medical University for gastric lavage. My mom wants me to ask about the situation. She just got a message. “
“Well, it’s fine as long as your old lady didn’t go.” Su Yun said,”you’re old. Don’t be anxious.”
Zhou chunyong laughed bitterly.”My mother went with them early in the morning. She called me when she was doing the gastric lavage. She’s worried that the doctor won’t tell her what happened, so she came to ask me about it. “
“Then hurry up and get to work.” Zheng Ren said in a deep voice, but he did not stop walking toward the operating theater.
“There’s nothing to be busy about. It’ll be even messier if I go. ” Zhou chunyong laughed bitterly.”The patient … Aunt Liu’s children are all overseas. It’s already good enough for them to come back once or twice a year. They’re considered empty nesters, and the kind that’s especially empty.”
“Why didn’t you bring her out too?” Su Yun asked.
“I’ve already taken care of it. It seemed to have been a few years ago. But after half a year, aunt Liu couldn’t stand it and came back. She wasn’t used to living there. ” Zhou chunyong explained,”in her words, the house is big, but it’s too lifeless. She can’t understand what the people around her are saying, and she can only find a Chinese supermarket far away when she goes out to buy groceries. “
“Yes, that’s indeed a problem. The children are all at work, and it’s boring to be at home.” Zheng Ren said.
“Yes, my grandson is a Banana Man. He doesn’t have the same values. When he’s in a hurry, he speaks in English. There’s no way to communicate at all, so he came back after staying for half a year.” Zhou chunyong said,”nowadays, I practice Tai Chi with my mom in the morning, go grocery shopping in the morning, and go to school with my mom to see my grandson in the afternoon.”
“Uh … Your mom’s going to school?”
“Looking through the fence to satisfy my craving.” Zhou chunyong felt helpless too.”I don’t dare to leave my child with the elderly for too long. He tried to kill himself at the beginning of this year because my mother spoiled him.”
“Director Zhou, this is where you’re wrong. You’re the one who can’t manage the child properly because you lack time to communicate. How can you put the blame on the child?” Su Yun said with a rarely seen serious expression,”Speaking of which, the boss helped you scare him once last time. What happened after that?”
Zhou chunyong laughed and said,”after that time, the child became more obedient. I sent him to the school dormitory so that he wouldn’t be with grandma. Don’t meet with Grandpa and Grandma so that you won’t be spoiled. “
“Tsk tsk, aren’t you worried about school violence and bullying?” Su Yun chuckled and asked.
