Chapter 728: Father and Daughter Have a Heart-to-Heart Talk
Hearing this, Xu Shuyun couldn't help but tear up. For a moment, she was choked with emotions, unable to speak. She could only remain silent.
How could she not want to be with Zheng Qian? If it weren't for that unpleasant trip to Shanghu, perhaps they would already have children by now. It was just a pity that she hadn't expected Zheng Qian to have so many women around him, to the point where she couldn't accept it at the time.
But now, after what happened last night, she seemed to have figured some things out. Yet, it also seemed she hadn't fully understood everything.
The conversation between father and daughter was brief, but it was sincere, and that was enough. Some things didn't need to be explained too thoroughly. After all, when it came to the matters of young people, only the two of them knew the truth best.
While Zheng Qian was sleeping, the doctors happened to come for their rounds. But as soon as the door opened, Chairman Xu Chengye was stunned.
He had a good sense of self-awareness. Although his family had some savings—several hundred million—it really wasn't anything impressive in the talented and culturally rich Yebai. He didn't even know the hospital director.
But today, this display made him feel like he had seen something truly eye-opening!
Walking at the very front was Director Wei Haicheng, followed by the directors of the Emergency Department, Cardiology, Cardiothoracic Surgery, Anorectal Surgery, Ophthalmology... and damn it, even the director of Obstetrics and Gynecology was there. With people surrounding them, there were easily twenty or thirty of them.
Chairman Xu Chengye was dumbfounded, and his heart skipped a beat.
"This... what is this..."
"Dad, let me introduce you. This is Director Wei, and that is Director Tao..." Xu Shuyun had an excellent memory, and just like that, she began introducing them to Chairman Xu Chengye.
Chairman Xu Chengye suddenly felt a bit panicked. Yebai People's Hospital was the largest hospital in the area. Because of its outstanding capabilities, it even undertook emergency tasks for several surrounding counties and cities, with a very wide range of influence. Its medical capabilities were second only to the provincial capital within the province.
"Hello, Director Wei. Why did you all come here..." Chairman Xu Chengye quickly sat up from the bed, preparing to shake hands.
"Lie down! Lie down! Old Xu, you just finished surgery yesterday, you need to rest now!" Wei Haicheng quickly pressed Chairman Xu Chengye down and said with a smile, "We doctors do rounds on patients every day to give medical orders and such. Don't be nervous."
Damn it, how could he not be nervous? So many department heads, and even the people from Obstetrics and Gynecology had come.
Chairman Xu Chengye was panicking inside, briefly thinking he was dying. With such a big display, he guessed it might be some kind of special service from the hospital, or perhaps some "local-style hospice care" business, making his heart pound.
"Um, is Professor Zheng still resting?" Wei Haicheng spotted Zheng Qian, who was sleeping sprawled out, at a glance.
Xu Shuyun nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, do you have any instructions? Do you want me to wake him up?"
"No, no! Thanks to Professor Zheng for turning the tide yesterday and saving the day during the critical moment of life and death, he must be very tired. Let's not wake him up! How about this, we'll leave first, and you two rest well! Everyone, keep your voices down!"
Wei Haicheng said this and prepared to take everyone away. Chairman Xu Chengye was confused: ??? What's going on? Didn't you just say you were coming to check on me? This... this is it?
"Old Wei, you haven't checked on the patient's condition yet!" Director Tao quickly pulled Wei Haicheng aside quietly.
"Oh... hahaha, I almost forgot the main business!" Wei Haicheng laughed awkwardly and quickly tapped two people beside him, "Go on, check on Old Xu and see how his post-operative recovery is going."
The several directors were now looking at Zheng Qian with great curiosity. No matter how they looked at him, he was just a young lad. If they hadn't collectively watched the video of yesterday's surgery before coming, they really wouldn't have believed that all of this was led by Zheng Qian. Especially the "blind" stent placement performed in conjunction with the Hua Tuo Model—it was simply miraculous.
They didn't come together today to butter anyone up. They genuinely wanted to learn how to use the Hua Tuo Model. The video of Tiantian's life-saving surgery hadn't been leaked, so apart from those present that day, others had no idea how dangerous the situation had been. These doctors in Yebai were even less aware, and even held a skeptical attitude toward this model. As a result, the dozens of devices placed in the hospital had never actually been used by anyone. It wasn't until they saw yesterday's recording that they felt very guilty. They thought that since it was a rare opportunity before Zheng Qian returned to Shanghu, they would collectively organize a study session.
The rounds, which should have taken just over ten minutes, dragged on for 45 minutes. It was mainly because the doctors were all very busy; some had surgeries, some had clinics to attend. They had hoped to learn a bit in the morning, but since Zheng Qian was still sleeping, they had to choose another time. They had almost asked Chairman Xu Chengye until he was delirious; he had even told the doctors about wetting his bed at the age of three.
Wei Haicheng saw that they had delayed for a long time and could only give up for now. Just as they were about to leave, he saw Zheng Qian stretching and waking up.
"Sigh... Little Yunyun, I just had a dream, guess what it was? Hehe, in the dream I..."
Seeing Zheng Qian getting more and more outrageous, Xu Shuyun blushed furiously. She quickly rushed forward and cut off Zheng Qian's chatter. She reached out her fair hand to cover his mouth and said with a fake smile, "Darling, you're awake?"
Huh? What kind of look was that? Seeing the daggers in Xu Shuyun's eyes, Zheng Qian's sleepiness faded by more than half.
He quickly turned around and saw twenty or thirty doctors standing in the room, and other junior doctors and nurses at the door. Everyone was looking at him with extremely strange expressions. Zheng Qian's old face turned red, and he felt uncharacteristically shy.
He had never slept in a hospital before and thought he was having a sweet dream holding Xu Shuyun at home.
"Ahem... everyone's here? Huh? I remember clearly that I was sleeping in the car yesterday, how did I get to the hospital room?"
"I must have sleepwalked! You guys go ahead and get busy, I won't disturb you. I'm going to go check if there's a fire downstairs..." Zheng Qian pretended to be dumbfounded and was about to leave.
How could Wei Haicheng let him go? He quickly blocked his path and said nervously, "Um... Professor Zheng, it's like this. These directors just watched the surgery video from last night and are very interested in the Hua Tuo Model. They were previously struggling because they didn't know how to operate it, so... um..."
After hearing this, Zheng Qian understood what was going on. This was indeed a very important issue. Even if they developed something advanced, if everyone didn't know how to use it or had resistance to it, it was all useless. It was just that he really wasn't good at lecturing, so he had already sent a message to the people at the research institute last night.
"They should arrive in a few hours. They are more professional at lecturing than I am." Looking at the time, Zheng Qian said with a smile.
More importantly, his own medical knowledge was pitifully lacking. Last night, he had just temporarily dealt with the surgery by buying a stent placement-related procedure from the Mysterious Shop. Once he really started discussing the details with these doctors, he wouldn't be able to answer ninety percent of the questions, so it was better to leave it to the professionals.
Wei Haicheng nodded, "That's fine. Everyone, go get busy first, and we'll work a little overtime tonight."
"Okay, goodbye Professor Zheng!" "Professor Zheng, stay in Yebai for a few more days!"
"Yebai is a place of outstanding people, Professor Zheng, don't rush to leave. We'll treat you to Yebai roast beef in the next two days!"
"Damn, Professor Zheng is from Yebai!" Listening to everyone's greetings, Zheng Qian smiled bitterly, knowing they all meant well.
Chairman Xu Chengye was becoming more and more satisfied with Zheng Qian. This future son-in-law was simply too outstanding. He hadn't expected that he was not only a businessman but also a professor, and he had even saved his life last night. A life-saving grace could not be repaid, so he could only offer his daughter to marry him.
"Dad, the doctor said you need to eat more fresh fruits and beans in the next two days, which will help with vascular recovery. Wait a moment, I'll go buy some for you..." Seeing that Xu Shuyun was about to continue taking care of him, Chairman Xu Chengye immediately widened his eyes.
He waved his hand impatiently, "You two hurry up and leave. This special care ward has several nurses taking care of me; I don't need you! Alright, I'm a bit sleepy now and want to sleep. I don't want to see you for the next few days."
"But Dad, let me take care of you..."
"Alright, Yunyun, since the old man said so, let him have some peace and quiet! Uncle, we'll leave first. If you need anything, just look for the young man at the door wearing the [Qianlu Security] armband. We won't disturb you anymore!"
