When Qin Liren returned to the Provincial Capital, he immediately contacted Bu Ruotian and said that he was looking for Zheng Ren.
Curing the cancer was great. However, Qin Liren did not know Zheng Ren’s phone number. Bu Ruotian still had his own thoughts on the other side.
Thus, after going around back and forth seven to eight times, it became what it was now.
Regarding what Bu Ruotian thought, Zheng Ren did not really care. From Zheng Ren’s point of view, he did not really want to interact with Bu Ruotian.
That person’s thoughts were too deep and it was tiring to talk to him.
If it was an ordinary doctor, he would definitely rush to become Bu Ruotian’s healthcare doctor due to the abundance of benefits he would get in the future.
However, did Zheng Ren…really need it? He did not need it at all.
There was still something he needed to do in the Imperial City, and he did not know when a call would be sent. Bu Ruotian did not have the ability to treat members of the healthcare team as his personal doctors.
As they ate their skewers, Lian Xiaoliu drank beer while Zheng Ren and Xie Yiren drank coke. They chatted leisurely and it was quite pleasant.
From Zheng Ren’s point of view, the invitation on the other side was just a formality. Zheng Ren had rejected it twice before. In the end, he told Lian Xiaoliu that he might be going to the Capital to set up an operation center in the near future. If Qin Liren were to have a follow-up check in the future, he could just look for him directly instead.
Lian Xiaoliu knew how his pride worked. He had pretended to be arrogant in the past to appear friendly.
He saw that Zheng Ren was rejecting him very firmly, so he did not mention it anymore. Anyway, with Zheng Ren’s phone number, their relationship would be good. Would it not be better to go to the Capital for a follow-up check in the future than to come over to Sea City instead?
Moreover, he was also very impressed with Zheng Ren’s speedy promotion.
It seemed that he was still looking at the young doctor who was filled with fear but stubbornly stood in front of him when he asked for a loan shark’s help a few months ago.
During that time, Lian Xiaoliu could feel the panic in Zheng Ren’s heart.
A few months later, he went to the capital to set up an operation center.
Even Lian Xiaoliu did not know what an operation center was exactly but as long as he knew it was a promotion for Zheng Ren, it would be fine. It was quite a big step to go from Sea City to the Capital.
Although the matter was not stated explicitly, everyone knew what it meant.
After that, the topic changed. Lian Xiaoliu drank his beer in high spirits and shared a cigarette with Zheng Ren.
Zheng Ren suddenly thought of something and asked, “Brother Liu, is the security guard at the First Affiliated Hospital of Provincial City Medical University your man?”
Lian Xiaoliu was stunned. He did not expect Zheng Ren to ask about that.
That sort of thing had nothing to do with medical treatment. Even an old doctor might not be able to understand the specific procedures of the hospital’s security work.
Chief Zheng was so busy every day. How did he know about that? Also, did he know that he was the one who had planned things that way?
Lian Xiaoliu pondered and did not answer immediately.
“Wasn’t there a medical disturbance that I saw when I went to the Medical University yesterday? He seemed to be very afraid of me. I reckon that he should be one of your people.” Zheng Ren smiled as he picked up the coke can. “In Sea City, Brother Liu took good care of me. I remember all these things.”
Lian Xiaoliu grinned.
Zheng Ren’s words set the tone for the matter. He had nothing to hide.
“Isn’t it time to clean up the underworld? Third Master said that we can’t always do this sort of business. I began to think about what new business we should do.” Lian Xiaoliu said, “That group was making a scene. They wanted me to help them find a living.”
As he said that, Lian Xiaoliu glanced at Zheng Ren.
Zheng Ren knew that Lian Xiaoliu was asking him for a favor. He was smart and his EQ was not low, but he was usually too lazy to care about these things.
“Recently, there was a chance at the Provincial Capital but we let them pass. I didn’t expect them to be so good and take it down.”
“Oh.” Zheng Ren nodded.
“Did they cross the line? ” Lian Xiaoliu saw that Zheng Ren’s expression did not show any clues, so he questioned him about it.
Zheng Ren told him about his experience in the Provincial Capital and said, “There is no such thing in our Sea City. The bigger the hospital, the more such things happen.”
Lian Xiaoliu’s face turned serious and he began to scold, “I told those bastards to earn a little money to support their families but they went straight to the chief?”
“Pfft.” Zheng Ren was amused.
In fact, these were all shady businesses. No one cared if they earned a little bit of money.
However, if they earned too much, they might offend someone one day.
Even in the Capital, there were people who earned that kind of money even at the First Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University. That was the case with the big black umbrella incident with Professor Gu.
Zheng Ren knew that he could not care so much. He was only a doctor. He could treat patients and save people. That was within his realm of expertise. As for the outcome, there was nothing he could do about it.
They needed to eat their food while it was hot. As time went on, the skewers would not taste good once they got cold.
After more than an hour, Zheng Ren and Xie Yiren had eaten their fill. Even Lian Xiaoliu wanted to drive them back. However, Zheng Ren firmly refused and even told him not to drive.
Drunk driving, getting caught, fined, and being detained for fifteen days were all trivial matters. If there was a car accident, it would not be fun.
Zheng Ren called a cab and took a taxi home with Xie Yiren.
In the car, Zheng Ren called Su Yun and asked if he needed to go back and take a look at anything.
After all, he had been out for more than a day, and Zheng Ren was still a little worried.
His roles were changing far too quickly? Zheng Ren was still used to the young doctor’s diligent daily ward rounds, waiting in the hospital, and having his cell phone turned on 24 hours a day.
In the end, over the phone, Zheng Ren was rebuked by Su Yun.
Su Yun seemed to be busy with something and his tone was very impatient. He told Zheng Ren that as long as he was not around, the hospital would not be so busy.
Zheng Ren was happy to be free. He was not angry at being rebuked by Su Yun. Instead, he happily turned off his phone.
Su Yun’s mouth was a little irritating but he knew how to prioritize things.
He still remembered the time when he and Xie Yiren were on a date but Su Yun had forcefully dragged him back when he made a decision to do a thoracotomy.
He had a plan in mind then. When he was shameless, he would definitely not care about saving face.
Zheng Ren was very relieved.
When he got home, Zheng Ren first sent Xie Yiren back. He wanted to go in and chill for a bit, but Xie Yiren pushed him out with a smile.
When he returned to his residence, Zheng Ren took a bath and went to bed early.
The day had been quite torturous and Zheng Ren was still a little tired.
Just as Su Yun had said, the night passed smoothly and steadily.
When Zheng Ren woke up early in the morning, he received a WeChat message from Xie Yiren asking him to go over for breakfast.
It was a very extravagant thing to be able to sleep until he woke up naturally, especially as emergency department doctors.
He did not know when Department Chief Kong would receive the message. Zheng Ren thought about what he would be doing for the day and began to wash up. After that, he went to Xie Yiren’s place for breakfast and they went to the hospital together.
The Chu sisters were staying at Xie Yiren’s place. Their eyes were a little dark and they looked a little tired. It was said that they had come back very late last night.
Zheng Ren did not want to gossip. He asked if there was an emergency at the hospital and stopped caring afterward.
It made sense. It was normal for girls in their twenties to go out and play. Otherwise, how could she just stay at the hospital every day?
