Chapter 929: Imposing Aura

“If any of you has a question, you can voice it out any time.” From the moment Yu Yuan picked up the mic, she had no intention of putting it down. She sounded excited, and she was in high spirits. It was her time to shine, and her expression kept changing. It did not matter that other people could not see her face. Every movement of hers was energetic, and her facial expression was lively.

“If you encounter a problem, you can talk to one of our staff members. You can ask questions whenever the mic is in your hands.” During the surgery, Yu Yuan deliberately paused her commentary with the intention of interacting with the audience.

In the original plan, interactions had to be managed very carefully. This was not an entertainment show, and even though it was a public surgery, there was an ill patient involved. Even though surgeons chatted all the time, they had to be careful when deliberately communicating and interacting with the audience.

The publicity specialists from Yunli Medical Company had even come up with a few plans for Yu Yuan, and there were staff members who were on standby to intervene with the live stream at any time.

However, none of the things people in Yunli Medical Company were worried about happened.

Not only were the interactions done carefully, but they were also rare.

The ones who asked questions were mostly less renowned doctors instead of the renowned and highly-skilled doctors who came to watch the surgery with the intention of shooting down Ling Ran.

Half an hour into the surgery, the audience did not think much about this situation yet. But when the surgery was almost ending, all of the more experienced doctors understood what was going on.

“This is Ling Ran’s might.” Huo Congjun had been keeping watch of things in Prosperous Fountain Hotel today. He exited the biggest conference room in the hotel and entered a small waiting room. He then rested both of his hands on his waist and laughed maniacally.

“What do you mean by authority?” Doctor Zhou decided to play along with Huo Congjun.

“The lion is the king of the jungle, and dragons are kings of the fantasy realm. As doctors, we should also have the kind of authority that could be used to silence and subdue other people in certain aspects.” Huo Congjun was pleased with himself. “You will know what I mean after watching the recording of the preoperative discussion we had today. There were a bunch of doctors who specialized in hepatectomy, and none of them dared to ask Ling Ran anything as they were worried that someone might spot their weaknesses. The doctors who asked questions were less renowned doctors, and all of them had a humble tone. They wanted to learn something from Ling Ran. It was a really satisfying sight…”

Doctor Zhou smiled. “It’s just like the way things are when you gave a speech during the seminar earlier.”

Huo Congjun flashed Doctor Zhou an approving smile, and he was so happy that he was smiling from ear to ear. “That’s a different story. Ling Ran is truly good at hepatectomy. A thousand five hundred cases of hepatectomy are no joke, you know. From what I know, many doctors can only achieve this after working all their lives. And their results are not even as good as that of Ling Ran. This public surgery is basically going perfectly. It might be because of our adequate preparation, and it might also be because the patient is still young. Everyone would have nothing but praise for it. As for me, even though I often have the authority to silence and subdue other people…”

“Your name is known far and wide. Other people are scared of you, but they respect you at the same time.” Doctor Zhou played along with a smile.

Behind Doctor Zhou, a resident doctor who looked so ordinary that other people had trouble remembering his name had the urge to whip out his notebook and note down what Doctor Zhou had just said. He muttered, “He’s definitely a clever portrait artist.”

All the doctors around him nodded in unison. Take a portrait artist who was drawing the portrait of a king who was missing a leg and an eye for an example. Even if the portrait artist were to draw him as a king with two long and healthy legs, no matter how good the portrait looked, it would just be a lie. But if you were to draw a portrait of the king hunting with one leg propped on a stone and one eye hidden behind the gun, it would be perfect.

When it came to Huo Congjun, if you were to praise him and say that he was able to silent and subdue everyone with his skills, it would not hide the fact that he was missing an eye. It might even sound like mockery. All the resident doctors made up their minds to learn the craft of flattery from Doctor Zhou in the future. Ling Ran’s skills were too hard to learn, after all, and Doctor Zhou’s skills seemed like a more practical choice…

Huo Congjun was in a pretty good mood. He satisfied his desire to boast in front of Doctor Zhou and the other doctors for a bit more. When he was in the massive conference room just now, he had no choice but to sound humble so that he could make Ling Ran look better. He had suppressed his desire to boast for a long while.

After boasting for a few minutes, Huo Congjun turned and looked at Doctor Zhou. “Why are you still in the waiting room? Aren’t there a lot of work in the hospital today?”

“I have given the emergency hotline a call. I told them to send the patients who are not seriously ill to other hospitals such as Yun Hua Provincial Hospital. Doctors from one and a half treatment groups are in the emergency room, and that’s enough.” Doctor Zhou paused for a moment and laughed. “I asked them to transfer more patients to other departments, so even though all of them have things to do, they aren’t too busy. They’re in a very good mood now.”

“Hmm, this is a good thing too. We no longer need to take in so many headache and fever patients either. Since we’re an Emergency Medical Center, we must make it a point to act like a ‘center’.” Huo Congjun agreed. However, he looked at Doctor Zhou again and said, “But we have to try our best to treat all the patients that we’re capable of treating. Don’t just simply transfer patients to other departments. What should we do in the future if everyone gets too used to transferring patients to other departments?”

“Yes, you’re right.” When Doctor Zhou saw that Huo Congjun was no longer focusing on the fact that he was slacking instead of working in the hospital, he could not help but flash a smile.

In the operating theater, Ling Ran answered the questions that rang out from the intercom every now and then.

Ma Yanlin and Lu Wenbin who were acting as assistants could not help smiling. They were pleased with themselves.

Many of the questions were what they have asked before. Now, they already know the answers.

Since both of them were busy acting as assistants, they had no time to think about why only less renowned and junior doctors were asking questions. But when they heard these doctors asking questions that they already knew the answers to, they felt happy because of various reasons.

“Hmm, let me check on things for a moment.” Ling Ran asked for a pair of scissors and snipped off the last surgical thread. He then checked on everything from beginning to end.

The assistants immediately suppressed their feelings of happiness and checked on things along with Ling Ran.

As for Yu Yuan, who was giving an explanatory commentary in the visitation room, she stopped the question and answer session. As she held the mic, she lowered her voice naturally. “Doctor Ling is very careful when operating on patients, and after he completes the surgery, he has high standards when checking on things. All the assistants would be anxious at this time…”

“What would Doctor Ling do if you guys fail to carry out the checking process well?” a doctor in the visitation room suddenly asked out of curiosity.

Aside from the junior doctors, many doctors whose eyelids were heavy from sleepiness also looked at her in curiosity.

Even though all surgeons scolded other people in the operating theater, everyone wanted to know how other surgeons did it.

Yu Yuan was also at a loss of words when she heard this question. She thought carefully about it for a long while and said, “Usually, when we fail to spot a problem, Doctor Ling will jump in and assist.”

“How about punishment?” An elderly man could not stop himself from smiling from ear to ear. “Does he spank his assistants’ buttocks?”

Yu Yuan shook his head a little. “From what I can remember, Doctor Ling almost never punished anyone. If someone does something wrong, he would point out the mistake. And then, I guess the person who made the mistake would feel guilty and ashamed.”

“What on earth does this mean?” The elderly man did not understand what Yu Yuan was saying at all.

Yu Yuan looked at the person who spoke and could not help but smile. “I guess it means that Doctor Ling just has this imposing aura about him that would make his subordinate take the initiative to work hard.”

The elderly man laughed out loud. “I think all this talk about imposing auras is bullsh*t. Let me tell you, it’s more normal for surgeons to have a hardened heart and speak vicious words.”

As he spoke, the elderly man rose and pressed the intercom button. He said with a smile, “Doctor Ling.”

“Yes?” Ling Ran’s voice was steady. He raised his head to look at the visitation room.

The elderly man saw Ling Ran’s sharp gaze as he looked downward, and the words he intended to say were immediately stuck in his throat. “What was I trying to say again?”

Ling Ran was already done with the surgery. He furrowed his eyebrows and reprimanded the elderly man. “Those who are not involved in the field of medicine, don’t press the intercom button.”

The elderly man squirmed uneasily, and he just had to say, “I’m sorry, erm…”

Ling Ran gestured, and with a beep, the circulating nurse in the operating theater ended the conversation.
