Chapter 338: Chapter 339: The Deeply Hidden Mr. Qin

Chen Cang hesitated to leave, and suddenly, Chen Bingsheng called him into the on-call room and closed the door.

After gesturing for Chen Cang to sit down, he suddenly took out a cigarette and offered one to Chen Cang.

Chen Cang hesitated for a moment, then drew out one and put it in his mouth.

“I heard you hit Yan Ming,” Chen Bingsheng said in a flat tone, showing no sign of pleasure or anger.

Chen Cang nodded, took a drag of the cigarette, coughed on the smoke, which indeed was harsh to inhale.

Collecting himself after a moment, he nodded faintly in acknowledgment, “Mhm.”

Suddenly, Chen Bingsheng took a hard drag on his cigarette and slowly exhaled, “Ah…”

“Actually… Yan Ming is a pitiful person.”

Chen Cang was startled and somewhat puzzled, “Wasn’t he punished for a surgery mishap before? And then he came to the emergency department to ‘retire’?”

Chen Bingsheng shook his head, “You’re underestimating Yan Ming. The truth is… it was the hospital that wronged him back then, or rather, it was a flaw in the system, a historical leftover issue.”

“Yan Ming… back then, he was just as exceptional as you, hailed as the surgical prodigy of the provincial second hospital…”

Chen Bingsheng told Chen Cang a lot more and shared many stories from the past.

Chen Cang suddenly fell silent.

“But still… since he came to the emergency department, he should’ve taken on the responsibilities, even arriving late to a resuscitation.”

Chen Bingsheng shook his head, “Mhm, these past few years he has indeed been somewhat slack and I can’t stand it anymore; there’s no arguing with that.”

“But… who could predict a sudden myocardial infarction in the emergency department? And it happened in the bathroom.”

“Ah, forget it, I’m not blaming you—I just want to remind you to be more cautious in the future, not to make the same mistakes as Yan Ming.”

“Every signature that needs to be made cannot be missed, every procedure that needs to be applied for cannot be skipped, that’s to protect you.”

At this point, Chen Bingsheng’s expression became serious.

He didn’t come here to reprimand Chen Cang but rather to seize this incident as an opportunity to give him a heads-up!

Truth be told, last night’s incident was excusable.

After all, it was mainly due to the family members.

But!

Some things Chen Cang had been doing lately really made people uneasy!

Especially the emergency room surgery yesterday, Chen Bingsheng was petrified when he heard about it.

“I’ve heard quite a bit about your recent actions, surgeries in the emergency room without even notifying the chief, fortunately, nothing went wrong, but what if it had? Could you have handled it?”

“If it wasn’t for the chief covering for you! You’ve got to be careful!”

“Today I’m telling you about Yan Ming, not to scold you, nor to make you feel sorry for Yan Ming, but to tell you again: don’t try to be the hero. Whatever you encounter in the future, you must remember to follow the relevant regulations!”

“Regulations may indeed be troublesome, but remember, they are designed based on the experience of predecessors to protect doctors.”

Chen Bingsheng was somewhat anxious.

He understood Chen Cang’s personality as someone very opinionated, but this was no joking matter.

Yan Ming’s situation was exactly the right example to illustrate these points to Chen Cang.

Chen Cang nodded, though with less enthusiasm, “Thank you, boss, I got it. I’m heading back now.”

Seeing Chen Cang’s lackluster response, Chen Bingsheng shook his head, still too young, he thought, hoping the young man wouldn’t learn the hard way…

He would have to keep an eye on him from now on.

…

…

After leaving the emergency department, Chen Cang went nowhere, skipped eating, and went straight to sleep.

The person who rarely dreamed, dreamed a lot tonight.

When he woke up, it was nearly dark outside.

Had he slept that long?

Feeling the growl of hunger in his stomach, Chen Cang realized he had not eaten all day.

Just as he was about to go downstairs, his phone suddenly rang.

Pulling out his mobile phone to check, Chen Cang was momentarily taken aback; how come Qin Yue was calling him?

After answering, Chen Cang asked, “What’s up?”

Qin Yue’s voice was surprisingly gentler than usual, “Uh… have you eaten yet?”

Chen Cang shook his head, “Not yet, I was quite sleepy today, slept till now, and just got up. I was about to go downstairs for food, do you want to join?”

Qin Yue: “Sure!”

Eating alone is boring; having someone to compete with for food might make the meal more enjoyable.

They agreed on a time, and it was still a hot pot, set in a somewhat famous hot pot restaurant.

Qin Yue liked to come here, not because the flavor was particularly unique, but because there was an excellent milk tea shop at the entrance.

After work today, Qin Yue learned about the emergency office’s situation and was somewhat worried about Chen Cang.

After all, the incident had caused quite a stir, and the whole hospital knew that Yan Ming had resigned.

However, the news of Chen Cang hitting Yan Ming did not spread.

The old-timers at the Xiehe Hospital knew about Yan Ming, and most felt regret about his departure.

But the younger crowd really lacked a good impression of him.

Actually, no one becomes the way they are without reason; everyone has gone through a life, constantly changing within it.

After settling down in a familiar spot.

Chen Cang rubbed his hands together, “It’s rare for me to treat, so I might as well splurge a bit today.”

Qin Yue rolled her eyes at him, “Anyway, I only have 200 bucks. If it’s more, you can stay behind and work it off.”

The two bantered back and forth, and Chen Cang actually felt comfortable.

To be honest, Chen Cang couldn’t pinpoint when, but he had crazily fallen in love with… hot pots.

It was most likely Qin Yue who brought on this infatuation.

If he had to pick a few things Qin Yue liked, Chen Cang thought that hot pots and milk tea definitely topped her list.

With Qin Yue’s retorts, the meal was very joyful.

Originally, Qin Yue was worried that Chen Cang might be in a bad mood and encounter some problems, so she made a special effort to keep him company. Now, it seemed that there was nothing to worry about.

But no worries, that’s good!

After a while, Qin Yue suddenly said, “I might not be in the emergency department in a little while.”

The tripe he had just picked up suddenly lost its appeal.

Chen Cang looked up immediately, “Why is that?”

Qin Yue sighed, “My dad wants me to pursue a part-time Ph.D., but the emergency department is too busy, so it’s not suitable. He wants me to move to a more relaxed department.”

Chen Cang was slightly startled, “Oh… a Ph.D.! Where will you be going for it?”

Qin Yue thought for a moment, “Xiangya or Xiehe, I guess! The admission brochure won’t be out until the end of the year, but he just wanted to give me a heads-up to get prepared.”

Chen Cang put down his chopsticks and gave an “Oh,” suddenly finding today’s meal to taste quite ordinary.

“Which department will you go to?” Chen Cang asked curiously.

Qin Yue pondered for a while, “General surgery, under Director Zhang’s team.”

Qin Yue herself was originally from general surgery, so it was a fitting choice for her.

Chen Cang inevitably felt a little disappointed.

After all, with his little puppy dog gone, his days acting cool would be devoid of a beautiful woman to hype him with “666.” How dull that would be!

Thinking of this, Chen Cang couldn’t help but sigh.

Times change, and so do people!

Looks like I might have to strut over to general surgery from now on…

The most important thing is… I only just found out how deep-hidden Qin someone is.

Such a pity, such a pity!

If only I had known to take advantage sooner.

Alas…

ps: I’m really sorry, I’ve been too busy today with one thing after another, and only managed to write two chapters. I’m going crazy, going crazy. Tomorrow morning, I have to get up and start typing, aiming for three updates by noon!
