The Surgeon’s Studio

Chapter 729: The Difference Depended On His Mood

Su Yun was observing whether there were bubbles in the warm saline water. When he heard the voice speak up, he knew who it was.

Without raising his head, he asked, “Old Lu?”

Uh… The person who came in was stunned. He did not expect to know who he was without raising his head after meeting him a few years ago.

If Zheng Ren was here, he would definitely be ashamed.

Zheng Ren would definitely not know who he was face to face, but Su Yun could tell just by listening to his voice.

“You don’t even call me ‘Brother Yun’? Why are you still calling me Su Yun?” Su Yun’s eyes were staring at the water’s surface, trying to determine whether the bubbles were coming from his lungs or from the air accumulated in his chest.

This was a test of skill but for Su Yun, it was not difficult at all.

The person who had just rushed over was a doctor there, Lu Zewei. He was a doctor from Huaxi’s cardiosurgery department. After graduating, he had come to Chengdu Provincial Hospital a few years ago and was about to lead the team.

“Brother Yun, why are you here?” Lu Zewei did not get angry when he heard Su Yun’s sarcastic tone. Instead, he smiled apologetically.

“I went to the front and just came down,” Su Yun said as he used a pair of lung forceps to pinch the left lung’s lower lobe. He accurately found two missing wounds on the back and began to suture.

Lu Zewei was not surprised. He was used to it and said, “If I had known that Brother Yun was here, I would have stayed down and slept for a while longer. These past few days have been exhausting.”

“I just came up to help. I have other surgeries to do later.” As he spoke, the needle and thread had already sewn up the two wounds. The scissors appeared in Su Yun’s hand like magic and cut the thread. It was a brilliant technique.

Zheng Ren also used this technique but it was usually much simpler. He was not as flashy as Su Yun but his speed was slightly faster.

“Huh?” Lu Zewei was stunned.

He thought to himself, ‘You’re a chest doctor. What are you going to do if you don’t perform a chest surgery?’

Although he thought so, Lu Zewei did not say it out loud.

Brother Yun in front of him had a high standard, but his temper was not very good. His sharp and unkind mouth was famous amongst all the young doctors.

After not seeing him for a few years, his words were still as sharp and unkind as before. Lu Zewei fell silent.

His lungs swelled again. Su Yun then said, “Close the chest and change positions.”

“There seem to be air bubbles…” Chief Shao was halfway through his sentence when he felt someone pushing him from behind.

It was Professor Lu? What did he mean?

Shao Hua could not make a good judgment of the specific situation, so he fell silent.

After all, Lu Zewei was already leading a team. He belonged to the category of a senior doctor. On the operating table, he had the final say.

“Alright, I’ll close the chest when you come up. The Boss’s surgery should have been done long ago.” Su Yun began to close his chest with the needle and thread.

“Oh? Brother Yun, did you come with the boss? I heard that you went back to your hometown?”

“Yes, I didn’t want to be a doctor at that time. The whole situation was boring. It was a good place to just retire and wait for death. However, I met my boss and now I’m going back to my hometown, the Imperial Capital,” Su Yun closed his chest and chatted idly.

Lu Zewei sighed in his heart as he looked at Su Yun. He was a postgraduate student and all the top three hospitals in the Imperial Capital were like his own backyard. He could come and go as he pleased.

A long time ago, he heard from his classmates in the Imperial Capital that Su Yun did not stay in the Imperial Capital and rejected all offers to stay back in his hometown. At that time, he was quite sad. Was the future star of the cardiosurgery department going to ‘die’ just like that?

However, he did not expect that Lu Zewei would come back just like that. Unlike him, who could not even leave Huaxi behind, he could only come to Chengdu Provincial Hospital to be a leading professor.

However, Sea City… Was there any famous cardio department professor in that small city?

Lu Zewei was a little puzzled.

After five to six minutes, the chest was closed. Su Yun let the anesthesiologist expand the patient’s lungs. He took a look at the chest bottle, then took off his gloves and walked off the stage.

“Old Lu, I’ll find you later for a drink after this.” Su Yun patted Lu Zewei’s shoulder and walked out of the operating theater.

Lu Zewei smiled bitterly and did not dare to reply.

He changed his position from the left chest to the right chest before opening the stage again.

It was not until the chest was opened that Chief Shao had the time to ask, “Professor Lu, that person just now looked very young. Who was he?”

“Hmm?” Lu Zewei chuckled and fell silent.

Speechless, Chief Shao felt that something was not right but he could not ask further.

It was not until his chest was opened that Lu Zewei said, “He’s a postgraduate student from Concorde and is known as the cardiosurgery department’s rising star at the Imperial Capital. A few years ago, I was doing a project in Huaxi and met him.”

“Rising star? The people at the Imperial Capital really dare to brag.”

“They don’t dare to speak such nonsense.” Lu Zewei turned his head cautiously. He glanced at Su Yun who still had his back turned and then said seriously, “You can’t afford to offend this person. Keep your voice down.”

“Huh? Does he have some sort of powerful backer?”

“No, it’s because he performs surgery very well. It’s so good that you can’t imagine it.” Lu Zewei sighed and continued, “Don’t think that he’s just a postgraduate student. When he was about to leave the Imperial Capital back then, many teachers wanted him to become a PhD graduate without taking any exams. However, he didn’t want it. He left just like that.”

That was not a big deal. There were plenty of PhD students who didn’t take any exams, right? Shao Hua nagged in his heart.

“You won’t believe me even if I tell you everything. You followed him in the surgery just now. How much difference do you think there is between the two of you?” Lu Zewei asked.

“His level is indeed higher than mine…”

“If you come into contact with him in the future, you will realize that no matter what kind of surgery it is, his level is higher than yours. Sometimes, it’s just a little higher, sometimes it’s a lot. How much higher depends on his mood. But no matter how much higher it is, you just can’t catch up.” Lu Zewei acted as if he were telling a sad story.

“Hurry up and finish the surgery. Don’t get distracted,” Lu Zewei urged. “Later, I’ll go and see which boss he came with. I’m really curious. Do you think there is any famous expert and professor in Sea City?”

“Where is Sea City?” Shao Hua was stunned.

Lu Zewei shook his head and sped up his pace.

Curiosity overcame fatigue. He braced himself and performed the surgery cleanly and efficiently, displaying almost 120% of his strength.

However, judging from the time spent on the surgery, there was still a gap between him and Su Yun.

After the surgery, Lu Zewei took the opportunity to take off his gloves, sterile surgical gown, and went to the operating theaters one by one.

No… No… Still no…

There were only two hybrid operating rooms left. Lu Zewei was a little confused. Usually, the people who used the hybrid operating room were from either the orthopedics department or the vascular surgery department. Could it be that Brother Yun had changed professions?

He was very confused. He thought about it again and did not feel that he had missed anything.

If he said that he had come with his boss, he would definitely be the assistant. If he looked from the outside, he could see the back of the surgeon and the front of the assistant.

Not to mention, even if Su Yun was wearing a hat and a mask, he could easily recognize his face. In other words, he was extremely recognizable.

When he walked out of the hybrid operating room, Lu Zewei absent-mindedly glanced at him but just so happened to see Su Yun lowering his head to perform surgery.

Uh… Was it really a hybrid surgery?

He saw that the scrub nurse was also inside, so he knew that she was not stepping on the line. Because of this, he quickly walked in through the operating theater’s door.
