Qin Liren was fidgeting like a cat on hot bricks. He was supposed to have surgery today, but the PhD student assigned to it by that professor had just informed him this morning that the surgery was postponed before simply running off without another word. He had walked around for the whole morning looking for someone with which to clarify the situation, but could not find any doctors in the ward. How absurd! He had briefly considered asking the nurses, but they were all stretched to their…

Zheng Ren and Su Yun reached the interventional operating theater at 8.18 a.m. Feng Xuhui stopped at the door as he did not have permission to enter operating rooms in Imperial Capital General. However, right before Su Yun closed the door, Feng Xuhui openly conveyed his intentions: he would be waiting for Zheng Ren and Su Yun to finish their surgery and then go out for lunch together. “This guy is still too green,” Su Yun commented when he shut the door. Zheng Ren did not pay Feng Xuhui much…

As Zheng Ren and Su Yun left the inpatient department, the temperature outside began to plummet as the night wore on, with icy winds so cold that it chilled everyone it touched to the bone. They both hastened back to their hostel and headed to their own rooms right away without exchanging a word. When he reached his room, Zheng Ren removed his coat and hung it up carefully. It had fit him perfectly thanks to Xie Yiren’s skillful shopping. A smile involuntarily graced his lips as he stared at…

Zheng Ren and Su Yun walked out of the interventional operating theater. As the door opened, a slim figure immediately charged towards them. “Doctor, how’s my mother?” the girl who had accompanied Lin Jiaojiao asked worriedly. “She should be fine.” Zheng Ren’s answer was calm. “Oh, that’s great, that’s great.” The girl was obviously still in shock. This was the only good news she had received after waiting for several hours. “Don’t worry.” Zheng Ren did not stay…

“Sister Lin, please keep your eyes closed. Don’t rush to open them,” Zheng Ren muttered in the operating theater. Lin Jiaojiao was a senior nurse in the Interventional Radiology Department and knew how interventional surgeries worked. The moment she saw the blank region on the radiograph of her eye, she knew her fate was sealed. However, this young doctor had carried on with the usual protocol. He was determined even when she had given up hope. After hearing what Zheng Ren said, Lin Jiaojiao…

When Dr Shen returned to the operating table, Su Yun had taken over his position. “Pardon me, but the subsequent procedures are rather challenging. I’ll be more comfortable with the help of my assistant,” Zheng Ren said politely, but that was all he provided before he dove right back into the operation. The phrase, “my assistant”, left Dr. Shen in a daze. Even Department Chief Kong did not have an assigned assistant. How had this young doctor gotten one of his own? Dr. Shen left the…

Zheng Ren put on his lead apron and scrubbed in. When the surgical drapes were in place, Dr. Shen took a step back. He was surprised when it was not Department Chief Kong who entered the operating room. “Little Shen, assist Boss Zheng. Time is of the essence,” Department Chief Kong’s voice echoed through the speaker. Dr. Shen did not argue. His boss had spoken. Nodding in response, he left to wash his hands and put on a surgical gown. Lin Jiaojiao laid on the operating table. Without a…

Research Graduate Liang drove the group back to the hospital. Once they arrived, Zheng Ren, Su Yun and Department Chief Kong headed straight for the ophthalmology department. Zheng Ren felt confident with a Master-rank skill book still in his reserves. However, as a general surgeon with no expertise in ophthalmology, he knew that a Master-rank skill book would not set him apart from the doctors in Imperial Capital. After some thought, he decided it was unlikely that he could solve such a rare…

“The ophthalmic artery? What’s that got to do with your department?” Chief Chu asked, perplexed. “This is Lin Jiaojiao. I have to go take a look regardless.” Frustration was evident in Chief Kong’s tone. “Lin Jiaojiao, the one who was attacked years ago?” Su Yun piped up. “Yes. She was once a nurse in my department but was poached by pediatrics. Just two days in her new post, she was stitching a wound on a kid and was punched in the face. There was bleeding in her brain.…

Even a man as simple as Zheng Ren could not believe Song Ying’s answer. “Grilled sausage?” A restaurant owner liking grilled sausage? Was it a joke? The room simmered down. The air cooled. Faces filled with disbelief. Song Ying let out a bitter smile. He propped his hands on the table and took a moment to steady himself before speaking, “So here’s the story: “I come from a poor family, like the proverbial frog at the bottom of the well. I spent many years working and trying…
