Chapter 517: Anxiety Caused By The Red Packet

Who are you asking? Zheng Ren was curious as well. He did not feel embarra.s.sed and asked with a smile.

Isnt this a hospital in the Capital? The patients family was a little embarra.s.sed. He scratched his head and said, They say that its a difficult disease to treat, but we dont dare to get it done in Sea City If we delay it, well regret it for the rest of our lives.

Zheng Ren understood. He smiled and nodded.

My family contacted Chief w.a.n.g of the General Surgery Department in the first-aid department. Chief w.a.n.g said that when you were partic.i.p.ating in scientific research in the Capital, you helped him solve a big problem, the patients family member said. Chief w.a.n.g said that he didnt understand this disease. With you around, theres no need to consult him again. With you around, things should definitely not go wrong.

Chief w.a.n.g? Zheng Ren tried hard to recall, but he could not remember what the General Surgery Departments Chief w.a.n.g looked like.

He only remembered that he happened to meet a patient with PJS at that time. He went on stage and helped him perform the surgery.

A basin of intestinal polyps. That was Zheng Rens impression of Chief w.a.n.g.

Since that was the case, he would need to prepare for surgery.

Zheng Ren smiled and comforted the old man with a few more words. After that, he received a call. The operation room was ready. Su Yun had also rushed back.

Just as Zheng Ren was about to leave the room, a patients family member hurriedly called out to Zheng Ren.

Chief Zheng, please wait a moment.

Yes? Zheng Ren turned his head.

This is a small gift from my family. Please accept it. The patients family member stuffed a red packet into Zheng Rens white pocket before holding his hand tightly so that he could not reject it.

Zheng Ren felt helpless. He took a glance and saw that there were other patients in the room. Causing a commotion here would not do any of them good.

Zheng Ren smiled and made sure not to make a fuss about it.

Seeing that Zheng Ren had accepted the red packet, the family was relieved.

The patient had already been sent up. Zheng Ren did not have time to deal with the money. He felt the thickness of the red packet. It probably had about 2,000 yuan.

For general surgery, it was already a lot. However, for someone of Zheng Rens status If the family knew about it, then they would know that the money they had given him was far too little.

Zhong Min, theres a red packet here. I need to go on stage. I dont have time to deal with this. Help me make a trip to pay the hospital fees. Zheng Ren threw the red packet toward Zhong Min.

Zhong Min was stunned for a moment, slightly puzzled.

Chief Zheng, are you not confident about the surgery? Zhong Min asked worriedly.

The surgery? Ive no issues with it. Its just removing a section of the intestine and then anastomosing it. Its very simple, Zheng Ren said.

Then

Im not short on cash. I just dont like taking money from others since it gives me unnecessary pressure. Hurry up. If youre late, the family will definitely think that theres something wrong with the surgery, Zheng Ren urged as the thought suddenly crossed his mind.

Although Zhong Min did not understand, she did what Zheng Ren instructed her to do.

Su Yun sent the patient away as Zheng Ren slowly went up to change his clothes.

When Zheng Ren changed his clothes and entered the operating theater, Chu Yanzhi had already finished administering the anesthesia. Su Yun had also already begun to disinfect all the necessary tools.

Zheng Ren brushed his hands and went up to the stage. He helped Su Yun finish laying out the sheet and the surgery began.

..

..

After the patient entered the operating theater, the patients family members waited anxiously outside the operating theater.

Within a few minutes, Zhong Min arrived at the waiting area of the operating theater.

Who paid the patients hospital deposit? Zhong Min asked.

Wait, did I not have enough money? an elderly man stood up and asked.

This is the red packet you gave Chief Zheng just now. Chief Zheng asked me to pay the hospital deposit with it. Zhong Min smiled, This is the deposit ticket. You have to bring all the deposit tickets with you when you exit the hospital. Otherwise, you wont be able to go through the discharge procedures. Thats all. Ill go down first.

After saying that, Zhong Min handed the deposit ticket to the patients family and turned around to leave.

The red packet was not accepted The family immediately began to panic.

What the h.e.l.l was going on? This surgeon did not understand their superst.i.tious beliefs at all!

If he knew the surgery could be done successfully, why would he not accept the red packet? Why did he pay the hospital deposit with it before he went on stage?

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Chief Zheng looks very young. Is the surgery going to go smoothly?

The doctors in the Imperial City all said it would be okay. I think itll be fine.

Dont tell me you got the wrong person. Although he looks quite honest and reliable, hes still too young. I think he only just graduated a few years ago.

Yeah, I also feel like Ive gotten the wrong person. Otherwise, why wouldnt they accept the red packet?

The more they talked about it, the more nervous the family became. Finally, one of them said, I know someone here. Hes the best friend of the General Surgery Departments Chief. Why dont we get him to take a look for us?

Will that bealright?

Its okay to take a look. If we cant then we still have a helper on our side. Dad is old. If he doesnt get through the surgery, then finding a helper afterward will be too late.

With that said, it was decided.

After a few twists and turns, he got someone to help him. He had made nearly ten calls before he finally got in touch with Department Chief Sun.

The family member who contacted him had an ugly expression on his face. When he finally got a hold of Department Chief Sun, he did not say anything over the phone and was simply redirected to head to the General Surgery Department itself.

Despite bragging about how close they were, he had needed to call Department Chief Sun so many times when he actually needed help.

He definitely did not have much pride left. He was prepared to give Chief Sun a red packet so that he would not lose any more of his ego.

When Chief Sun heard that Zheng Ren was performing the surgery and the family wanted him to go and take a look, he shook his head like it was a rattle.

What a joke. Was he not done being slapped in the face by Zheng Ren?

Go to the viewing platform? Zheng Ren was still alright. Just as long as he did not provoke him, Zheng Ren would leave him alone. However, his a.s.sistant beside him

d.a.m.n it, how could there be such a person in the world.

At the thought of Su Yun, Chief Sun shook his head even more fiercely.

He was not afraid of raising his blood pressure and causing a cerebral hemorrhage from shaking his head so hard.

Chief Sun, look The patients family members were also dumbfounded. They had said so much, but they did not expect Chief Sun to not even budge on the matter.

Its Chief Zheng so would you even need to take a look at the surgery? You should hurry back. At around this time, the surgery would most probably be wrapped up already. Director Sun firmly rejected their request.

Care about his ego? He was not very close to the person who had come to him. He refused to be put into such an embarra.s.sing situation. Chief Sun would not do such a thing.

Chief Sun, our father is old. Were worried as his children. The patients family member took out a red packet from his pocket. Judging from its thickness, it would probably contain around a thousand yuan.

This red packet had been bought at a small supermarket in the courtyard that they had pa.s.sed by along the way.

What are you doing! Chief Sun glared at him, feeling prideful.

This is a small token of our familys goodwill. The patients family knew how these things worked. They did not care about Chief Suns pride.

They tried to push it his way but he refused.

In any case, in the end, the two of them were simply pa.s.sing the packet back and forth. They both pretended they did not know where it came from.

Fine, Ill go take a look since I have something I need to settle with Chief Zheng anyway, Chief Sun said as he stood up proudly and smoothed out his white coat.

Thank you, Chief Sun. The patients family finally felt relieved. They looked at the time and saw that it was only 35 minutes since the patient had entered the operating room.

Taking into account the time for the anesthetic to take effect, the surgery was most probably about to start.

They still had time.
