Chapter 781 - 364: Fighting and Fragile Intestines

Chapter 781: Chapter 364: Fighting and Fragile Intestines

This kid usually acts like a second-generation heir, wild and uninhibited. Listening to him now, it seems he’s fond of Ye Hui.

Li Jingsheng never interferes in the personal feelings of his doctors.

Unless someone behaves so poorly that he can’t ignore it, then he might speak up.

"To be clear, you’re not my type!"

Ye Hui glanced sideways at him and her words left Jin Yanyu quite choked.

Luckily, Jin Yanyu has thick skin, so he just laughed awkwardly and wasn’t angry.

Yang Luqing had a barely noticeable sly smile on his face.

This big guy seems silly and clueless about romance, but could he also have a crush on Ye Hui?

Indeed, both men and women are similar; those who are attractive and perform well tend to be more popular.

Ye Hui, looking like a tomboy, was the only female doctor in the bone setting clinic, and her excellent performance and straightforward personality made her very popular.

Yang Luqing, Jin Yanyu, and others were all bachelors.

Having some interest in her was quite normal.

"I didn’t say I wanted to date you! I just asked out of curiosity."

Jin Yanyu argued shamelessly.

"What do you mean? Think I act like a tomboy and won’t be able to marry?"

Ye Hui’s face fell upon hearing this.

Everyone has sensitive topics; ugly people are sensitive to comments about their looks, while poor people dislike being mocked for their poverty.

Ye Hui’s dressing and personality resembled a boy, and she certainly got teased by family and elders that she might not marry.

"I didn’t mean that."

Jin Yanyu quickly waved his hand and shook his head.

"With how excellent Dr. Ye is, how could she not marry? It’s just that your standards are high. If I could marry such an outstanding girl, I’d wake up laughing even in my sleep."

Yang Luqing, in his excitement, uttered his thoughts without filter.

Straightforward people are typically like this.

Ye Hui’s expression improved significantly.

"I’m not as good as Dr. Yang said!"

Though modest with her words, she was likely pleased inside.

She even stole a glance at Yang Luqing with an expression full of affection.

This sight instantly made Jin Yanyu anxious.

"Yang Luqing, don’t stab me in the back like this! Don’t think I fear you because you’re a senior. If you dare to do this again, let’s spar."

"Anyway, I just think Dr. Ye is great. If it weren’t for the teacher not wanting us to fight, I wouldn’t be afraid of you."

The two appeared like male animals vying for a mate, their glances at each other now laden with hostility.

"Shut up, get to work!"

Li Jingsheng held absolute authority in the bone setting clinic. His words instantly calmed the two who were ready for a showdown.

It was clear to anyone with eyes that both were interested in Ye Hui.

Who will win her over? It depends on their skills.

...

They stayed busy until the end of the workday. Yang Luqing and Jin Yanyu didn’t have another confrontation.

But the situation was quite unfavorable for Jin Yanyu.

Because Ye Hui seemed displeased with him, disliking his young master demeanor.

"Yang Luqing and Jin Yanyu, follow me!"

Li Jingsheng led the two into an empty bone setting clinic room next door.

This was where Doctor Xu used to work, now at home recuperating and unable to come to work.

The hospital knew of the deep bond between Li Jingsheng and Doctor Xu.

Moreover, given Doctor Xu’s excellent bone setting skills, he could return anytime once recovered, so the hospital didn’t dare touch this room lightly. They preferred it vacant.

The two followed Li Jingsheng inside.

"I’m an experienced adult, and speaking plainly is necessary. If you wish to pursue Ye Hui, I won’t oppose it, but who can win her over depends on merit, not by wild animalistic duels. Our human society is advanced; obtaining a mate no longer involves defeating another competitor. Whoever wins the girl’s heart laughs last.

You can compete, but I absolutely do not want to see workplace fights resembling wild animal duels.

My doctors and nurses must be united.

Otherwise, you’ll be deemed to have ’left the group’ voluntarily. Got it?"

Li Jingsheng looked at the two with a serious face.

"Understood!"

Yang Luqing, fairly respectful of Li Jingsheng, nodded in agreement.

"Can’t challenge him after work either?"

Jin Yanyu obviously still felt defiant.

"Are you a blockhead? Why fixate on challenging Yang Luqing?"

"He’s the one who stabbed me in the back, and I can’t stand such action. Now Ye Hui has a major issue with me, and he’s taken full advantage."

Jin Yanyu showed clear defiance.

"How did he stab you in the back? You mocked Ye Hui as a tomboy; I spoke up for her, which is my freedom."

Yang Luqing displayed equal anger.

"Let me just say a few words. Yang Luqing, as a senior brother, it’s fine to stand up for others, but your timing was off. Jin Yanyu was just joking with Ye Hui, and you jumped in immediately, which naturally made it look like you were stabbing him in the back. If it were you, would you feel good?"

Hearing this from Li Jingsheng, Yang Luqing realized his mistake and lowered his head in silence.

Li Jingsheng then turned to Jin Yanyu, "Although Yang Luqing’s timing to stand up for others was a bit off, you’re more to blame. Just because Ye Hui had a short haircut, your comment made it easy for her to think you were mocking her for being a tomboy. When trying to woo a girl, don’t just rely on brute force all day; you need some emotional intelligence and IQ."

"I didn’t mean it that way. She misunderstood me. I was just trying to find out if she didn’t have a boyfriend, then I could pursue her. But she snapped at me like that, and that’s how things ended up. Sigh... forget it. Yang Luqing, I’m not mad at you either. But don’t think I’ll give up on Ye Hui. We’re both men here; let’s compete fairly, no more attacks on each other."

Jin Yanyu finally came to terms with it.

"Agreed!"

Yang Luqing nodded in agreement.

"Hey, we’ve got plenty of single female doctors and nurses in our hospital. Why are you two dead set on this one girl?"

"You don’t get it, teacher!"

The two of them said in unison.

Li Jingsheng suddenly had a vein popping on his forehead.

"Get lost! Don’t start fighting like a bunch of animals anymore! Go back and practice your bone setting skills properly. You’ve been learning from me for so long, and your progress is slow as hell!"

Li Jingsheng glared at them, and the two left in dismay.

...

After work, Li Jingsheng had to go home alone today, since Ou Qinglan had to work overtime again.

Riding his bicycle to and from work, he was quite the spectacle in the hospital.

People can be really strange sometimes.

Back when he didn’t have money, even riding a motorcycle worth over twenty thousand didn’t give him confidence.

Now that he’s got money and status, riding a hundred-dollar bicycle makes him feel confident and grounded instead.

As he cycled home, his mind was still pondering the reason behind that senior official’s diarrhea. All the tests came back fine, and a colonoscopy was performed too, but the patient kept having diarrhea. Where on earth was the problem?

Li Jingsheng kept thinking but couldn’t come up with an answer, so he decided to consult Lian Tao.

Back at the clinic, he immediately sent over the old official’s examination results and consultation records.

"Brother Tao, have you ever encountered this kind of problem before?"

After more than half an hour, by the time Li Jingsheng finished checking the clinic’s accounts, Lian Tao finally replied.

"Just finished a colonoscopy; the patient’s bowel condition wasn’t ideal. I was worried about perforating his intestines, so I had to forgo it. This patient might have an intestinal hernia, and we’re currently asking our colleagues in the anesthesia department to assess the surgical risks and plan to transfer him to gastrointestinal surgery."

He explained why he was late replying to Li Jingsheng.

As a doctor at a public hospital, being busy every day is normal.

Overtime is the norm.

"How bad was the bowel condition? I did a colonoscopy on that old official yesterday too, and it wasn’t much better."

"Are you even doing colonoscopies now?"

Lian Tao asked in surprise.

"Heh, that’s just your lack of knowledge. It’s not like colonoscopies are some rare phenomenon."

He really didn’t find colonoscopies particularly difficult.

After all, his interventional surgery skills are quite advanced now, and there are very few colonoscopies he can’t handle.

"This old official had intestinal anastomosis surgery before, so his bowel condition is certainly poor. The fact that you managed to perform a colonoscopy on such a patient means your skills aren’t bad at all!"

Lian Tao was already reviewing the old official’s examination records.

As an expert in the gastroenterology field, he could tell that this old official’s colonoscopy would be challenging.

"In front of Director Lian, I wouldn’t dare to use the words ’not bad.’ My skills are just barely passable."

Li Jingsheng replied with a smile.

"Do you have some time now? Can you come over and help me out? There’s a patient whose intestines are in a state like vermicelli, but after our diagnosis and evaluation, it’s suspected that there are polyps inside her intestines, which have already caused her difficulty in defecation. Based on my clinical experience, if there are indeed polyps inside her intestines, in three to five years, there’s a high chance they might turn malignant.

Could you come over and test your colonoscopy skills?"

Lian Tao rarely asked him for help.

Most of the time, they just discussed complex cases online.

"What do you mean by vermicelli state?"

Li Jingsheng asked back.

"It means the patient’s intestines are like mush, easy to break upon contact, so it requires extremely high colonoscopy skills to complete the procedure."

He thought it was the commonly mentioned kind of vermicelli state.

Li Jingsheng had seen patients with very thin intestinal linings and those whose intestines are prone to breaking.

Some people’s intestines have poor resilience, with thin walls, making them extremely fragile.

But like what Lian Tao described, intestines like mush, he had never encountered before.

Could such a patient even live?

Wouldn’t intestinal perforation occur?

"You’re asking me to perform a colonoscopy on such a high-risk patient with my half-baked skills? Brother Tao, could it be that you’ve been earning a bit too much recently and are looking for a unique way to spend it?"

Li Jingsheng joked with him.

"Scram!"

Lian Tao swore angrily.

"I wasn’t suggesting you come over to experiment on a patient; we have specialized testing equipment here to gauge your colonoscopy proficiency. Based on what I know about you, any technique you know is unlikely to be too shabby. Come over and lend a hand."

Lian Tao was insistent that he come over to help.
