When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chen Cang, full of joy, inspected the green item he’d gained. After all, this was what he’d been most looking forward to!

[KIM Suture Thread: Green quality, Attributes: 1. Tensile Strength +1; 2. Anti-infection ₊i; Once equipped, any suture threads you use in the future will inherently have these attributes.]

Chen Cang was delighted!

Tensile strength is easy to understand!

It means it’s strong and flexible, not easy to break. This attribute is very important for many types of threads, but it’s especially crucial for certain special functional threads, such as tendon sutures. These threads need to be quite tough, which is currently a difficult point in tendon suturing, hence why wires are used instead. However, wires are not as easy to manipulate or use as threads and are more likely to cause secondary tendon damage, leading to aggravated adhesion!

So just this one attribute of Tensile Strength *i is quite powerful!

The second attribute is the same, anti-infection, just as its name suggests, straightforward and dominant! After suturing, the primary concern is infection, and with the presence of this anti-infection property, the probability of infection is directly reduced, making it a great choice.

And the last reward, the final mission prompt!

Chen Cang eagerly looked toward Zheng Guotan, but… After a long while, he still didn’t see a question mark appear above his head.

What’s going on?

On closer inspection of the prompt, was it to talk privately with Zheng Guotan?

Was that the condition to trigger the mission?

With that in mind, Chen Cang decided to give it a try later.

Zheng Guotan was very happy right now and quickly said, “Everybody, please wait for a moment in the hall. I’ve asked the chef to prepare a meal. Let’s eat before heading back, you’ve all worked hard.”

After calling everyone out, Zheng Guotan lowered his head to look at Xu Ruoyun, “Baby, be good, don’t cry, your husband promises to sort this out for you!”

As the group came out chatting and laughing, the few people inside the room were stunned!

Especially An Jing!

She had rubbed her palms warm and was ready to step into action. Are you really coming out to tell me this?

Isn’t that a bit much?

With that, An Jing was rather incredulous.

The suturing’s done????

How is that possible?

That’s absolutely impossible!

Yet, she didn’t dare to go and check; this wasn’t her place, this was property tycoon Zheng’s, and the patient wasn’t just anyone, but the famous actress Xu Ruoyun. No matter how angry she was, she had to hold it in.

An Jing had initially thought this was an opportunity for her!

If she could gain Zheng’s endorsement, or satisfy both him and Xu Ruoyun, that would be a huge favor done for her.

Even the plans for Annie’s cosmetic surgery center to grow and expand were no longer an issue!

This was a big deal for Annie’s cosmetic surgery center, but not so much for Zheng Guotan.

In time, if they could get Xu Ruoyun to be an endorser, who knows, maybe Annie’s cosmetic surgery center could go beyond Dongyang Province and onto the national stage.

The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, and upon seeing Yang Tao coming out, An Jing approached him.

“Director Yang, what exactly happened?” An Jing asked quietly.

Yang Tao calmly said, “This young man is truly talented! No, a genius. You didn’t see the suturing just now, every stitch was a work of art, tsk tsk, the repair was done beautifully. No ordinary person could achieve this, at least I can’t find a second one in Anyang City!”

Yang Tao was a physician at the hospital, but later, like Zhang Zhixin, he entered the plastic surgery field. Over the years, he had become a notable figure in Anyang City, quite famous, now flourishing in both his primary and side businesses.

An Jing, upon hearing this, found it hard to believe!

She had seen Xu Ruoyun’s wound with her own eyes and knew enough about it to understand that achieving such a result purely through stitching was practically impossible. At least in the short term, it was unrealistic to find someone capable of that in the entire Anyang City!

Realizing this, An Jing wore an expression of disbelief, her eyes filled with doubt and dissatisfaction!

Yang Tao, of course, understood An Jing’s thoughts. It wasn’t just An Jing he was eyeing; Yang Tao was also watching Zheng Guotan’s pockets. In this society, favors were nothing more than transactional affection.

They were merely “helping” each other, each with their own agenda. Otherwise, why would they eagerly assist the wealthy if not for convenience?

After all, those who flatter are often those who wish to ride.

Moreover, Yang Tao and An Jing were somewhat colleagues. It’s said that professionals in the same field can be rivals, a sentiment of ‘May the ways of the Tao not die with me.’

Yang Tao was far more experienced than An Jing. His ability to assist Chen Cang revealed that this middle-aged, bald man had a capacity and a mindset the young girl could not match.

Yang Tao had no plans to show An Jing the photos, and he even had a slight urge to see An Jing and Chen Cang on opposing sides.

After all… with Anyang City being so small, with Annie’s cosmetic surgery business all set up, how should he proceed?

If An Jing was skilled, then Yang Tao was worldly-wise. He knew An Jing was proud, so he purposely praised Chen Cang.

Because the more he praised Chen Cang, the more An Jing would naturally dislike him.

No one could predict the future, but at the very least, Chen Cang wouldn’t end up on the same path as An Jing.

Sure enough, An Jing was fuming inside. Despite her doubts, there was nothing she could do.

She even felt her presence there was redundant and stood up to speak to Zheng Guotan, “Mr. Zheng, I’m sorry I couldn’t be of help today. I’ll be heading back now. Call me if you need anything; I’m at your disposal.”

Zheng Guotan nodded with a smile, “You’ve worked hard, you have been quite helpful already. Old Chang, see her out, please. Let’s keep in touch. ”

After the pleasantries and seeing off An Jing,

The other guests also started taking their leave.

Zheng Guotan nodded and had the butler take care of the farewells. The butler had been with him for over twenty years and knew exactly what to do.

Chen Cang actually wanted to leave too, but he couldn’t. What was he aiming for after putting in so much effort?

It was during this time that Qin Xiang approached with a chuckle, “Old Zheng, I’m heading out too.”

Zheng Guotan rose to see him off, “Let me walk you out. Chen, please have a seat for a moment, I have something to discuss with you.”

Qin Xiang greeted Chen Cang, “Dr. Chen, right? Let me introduce myself, my name is Qin Xiang, head of the dermatology department at Dongda Affiliated Hospital. I’ll invite you to give a lecture at our place sometime. You can teach those young doctors about the essence of skin suturing. Today was an eye-opening experience. By the way, where are you currently employed?”

Chen Cang was suddenly stunned!

Dongda Affiliated Hospital? Could it be this coincidental… It was less than a kilometer away from our hospital. So he was the head of dermatology there, no wonder his technique was so proficient…

But then, Chen Cang suddenly remembered something.

He had just… criticized, no, no, no, rather ‘advised’ Qin Xiang, urn, and he did so with the attitude of a senior, mixed with a ‘tough love’ tone.

At that thought, Chen Cang felt a wave of guilt. The two hospitals were not far apart, and if Qin Xiang decided to look for him at his hospital…

Chen Cang took a deep breath, calming himself.

Work? Oh, right now L… haven’t found a formal position yet. I’m doing temp work in the ER at the Provincial Second Hospital.” Chen Cang said with an awkward smile, sticking to the truth.

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiang assumed Chen Cang had just returned to the country and warmly replied, “What? Second Hospital treats talent like this? Would you consider coming to us?”

Chen Cang gave a smile, “I’ll think about it.”

Qin Xiang beamed upon hearing this, “Take your time to think it over! Let’s exchange contact information; I’ll invite you to give a lecture at our place someday!”
