  • by Christopher Thompson After the plane came to a halt, Zheng Ren switched his phone back on and sent a private message to Xie Yiren to notify her that he had landed safely. Then, he checked the group chat and saw a hefty discussion by the girls about the location of Zheng Ren and Su Yun’s welcome party. There was a long list of restaurants included that he did not even know existed in Sea City. However, the discussion had ended an hour ago. It was likely the girls had already met up and were awaiting their arrival at the…
  • by Christopher Thompson Zheng Ren was at a loss. Although he knew that boarding the same plane he had taken here was a possibility, he had no recollection of the person in front of him. Her identity, whether she had spoken to him previously, or even the things she had done were lost to him. Still, he pretended to recognize her and offered a polite, elegant smile. “Dr. Zheng, right? I remember you!” the flight attendant said cheerfully. Since first-class passengers were allowed to board in advance, and they were both…
  • by Christopher Thompson Tang Xiu had been extremely busy lately. She had flown from Sea City to Imperial Capital after obtaining approval from the chief editor for her interview proposal, then dedicated all her time and effort into collecting the necessary information. However, before she could finish gathering intel, the news broke that Zheng Ren had successfully completed the surgery; livestreamed, no less. Tang Xiu was not sure how major his achievement was, but knew that she would only get busier. Her work…
  • by Christopher Thompson The recruitment process of Straits Hospital was much more detailed than Su Yun’s description. Publishing papers was just one of many other criteria. Even though Straits Hospital was entirely owned and funded by Americans, it was still run by the top medical manager in China. Journals that were popular among local PhD graduates such as PLOS ONE and Scientific Reports were excluded from the list. No amount of papers published on them would earn any extra credit. Why? The reviewing criteria of…
  • by Christopher Thompson “Brother Yun, you’ve arrived.” Chief Resident Wang from the general surgery department stood to give his greetings. “Eh? How did you get out here?” Su Yun picked out Zhao Yunlong sitting beside Li Xiaochen, the executive deputy director that he and Zheng Ren were just talking about. Next to Zhao Yunlong was an empty seat, which seemed to be reserved for him. There were also a few doctors of middling seniority from the hospital. “Despite being a chief resident, I still have the basic…
  • by Christopher Thompson “Sir, the breakfast time is over,” the waiter whispered into Professor Rudolf Wagner’s ear. Ah... the reminder finally snapped him out of his thoughts. Looking at his cold, untouched food on the table, he shook his head helplessly and stood to leave. What an elegant surgery. With his understanding of prostate interventional surgery, the operation he just saw could be considered a miracle! Each step was extremely precise. Each choice made was on point. There were a total of six…
  • by Christopher Thompson Contrary to Li Xiaochen’s expectations, Zheng Ren’s expression remained stoic. The young doctor repeated, “1.5 million.” Li Xiaochen’s pulse quickened. Was he too late? Had the doctor received a better offer from another company? He ground his teeth and said, “Net pay after taxes” Under the renewed tax system, a net annual salary of 1.5 million meant that the hospital would be shouldering a tax value in the hundreds of thousands. “Hm.” Zheng Ren’s expression remained neutral…
  • by Christopher Thompson Due to his late-stage face blindness, Zheng Ren was used to greeting people despite not knowing them. As the stranger had offered a handshake, he forced a smile and accepted it. The lunch session had taken a greater toll on his energy than any surgery ever could. “Boss Zheng, nice to meet you. My name is Li Xiaochen and I’m the executive deputy director of the private Straits Hospital, mainly in human resources and talent scouting,” the stranger said cheerfully. Straits Hospital? What was…
  • by Christopher Thompson Hua Yingying stood by the river, a desolate expression on her face. The cold winds blew by mercilessly. The monotonous dial tone on her phone mocked her. She had gotten the news from a client regarding the prostate interventional embolization surgery in Imperial Capital. They had completed the surgery in the morning and the execution was rumored to be perfect. Another insider told her Changfeng Microinvasive Surgery’s interventional surgery materials were being adopted throughout hospitals in…
  • by Christopher Thompson As the surgery ended, numerous calls came in for Department Chief Kong. The patient was still lying on the operating table. Many of the professors and experts had left the room, but Li Haitao remained. He had not expected a junior doctor like Zheng Ren to put up such an impressive performance. The live surgery recording had 10000 downloads within the hour. As the recording was not hosted on a social media platform, the numbers far exceeded their expectations. A smile blossomed on Li Haitao’s…
