The surgery’s complete.
Ling Ran cut the last thread and threw away the scissors.
 

A round of applause naturally rose in the operating theater.
 

Ling Ran smiled faintly and treated it as a normal surgical procedure.
 

Department Director Kang also clapped with a dark expression on his face. If he did not clap when everyone was clapping, he would be described as arrogant.
 

However, Department Director Kang’s reluctance was not very strong as well.


 

He was a doctor and a surgeon. Although he was prejudiced when he observed Ling Ran’s operation with his own judgment, he could still feel a pleasant sensation run up his spine while he watched it. This was just like how a mechanic would feel when he saw the logistics group at an F1 racetrack changing tires, refilling petrol, and servicing the race car at high speed.
 

The characteristics of their maneuvers were the same, but Ling Ran’s were better, causing Department Director Kang to feel happy when he looked at Ling Ran’s operation.
 

He clapped twice, and that was it.
 

He Liang clapped for even longer.
 

He had practically performed half of the surgery with Department Director Kang and the other half with Ling Ran. There was no need for him to even mention which doctor had allowed him to feel better.
 

Even if He Liang was treated as a bootlicker, he would still do the things he did.
 

He could tell that Department Director Kang could hardly catch up with Ling Ran’s skills. Perhaps the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery’s destiny now lay in Ling Ran’s hands.
 

Huo Congjun suddenly had a feeling in his heart when he heard the applause.
 

Unlike Ling Ran, who had grown up listening to applause, Huo Congjun did not find that applause could be easily obtained.
 

When he thought carefully, there were at least four reasons why Ling Ran received the applause.


 

First, his skills were really good. Second, he had a strong background. Thirdly, he was not annoying, and fourthly, he was handsome.
 

It was not easy to have all those four attributes together.
 

Huo Congjun felt that he should not let the applause go to waste.
 


Department Director Kang, do you have other surgeries after this?
Huo Congjun suddenly asked.
 

Department Director Kang frowned. ‘As the saying goes, do not reveal others’ shortcomings when you’re attacking them. Old Huo, isn’t your ego a little too big now?’
 


No, do you have any advice for me, Department Director Huo?
Department Director Kang did not speak in a good tone. It was true that he was only the department director of a small department, but he was still a department director, right? Furthermore, he was not just somebody who came from outside with no support. He would not be like He Yuanzheng, who allowed himself to be bullied by Huo Congjun.
 

Huo Congjun smiled gently.
What I mean is, since it’s not easy for us to gather together, why don’t we have a meal together? Associate Hospital Director Zhou, what do you say?

 


Okay.
Associate Hospital Director Zhou did not know what Huo Congjun was up to, but he agreed.
 

Department Director Kang was stunned and felt a little embarrassed. He hesitated for a few seconds before he laughed.
Let’s have a meal together, then.

 

Even if it was a banquet full of traps, it was still a banquet.


 

At that moment, Department Director Kang felt respected.
 


In that case, I’ll book a hotel. Let’s fix it at Prosperous Fountain Restaurant.
Department Director Huo took out his phone and called them.
Xiao Fei, you recently ordered those extra-large Australian spiny lobsters, right? Yes, give me three lobsters… The weight shouldn’t be less than 6.6 pounds…
he shouted.
 

Department Director Kang’s expression became friendlier as he listened to Huo Congjun speak through the phone.
 

Even though he was sure that Huo Congjun would not be the one treating him, a 6.6-pound Australian spiny lobster was enough to show his sincerity.
 

Huo Congjun did indeed want to show his respect and sincerity.
 

He had already thought things through by then. He could not be too crude if he wanted to form a connection with the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery. Besides, Department Director Kang was not as weak as He Yuanzheng. Also, despite Ling Ran’s good skills, he was still alone, and the difficulty level of cardiac surgery was high…
 

Yun Hua Hospital’s Department of Cardiovascular Surgery may have seemed weak, but it was always convenient to have friends to help. There were still doctors like Zhang Anmin who could help Ling Ran in the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery. Yet, the situation was still unknown when it came to the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery.
 

Huo Congjun felt that they could still talk about it.
 

The group left the operating theater together in tacit agreement, and Ling Ran was summoned by Huo Congjun.
 


If you want to continue to perform cardiac surgery, let’s go and have a meal.
Huo Congjun’s words made Ling Ran stay.


 


An hour?
Ling Ran was not opposed to having a meal, but he was pretty stringent with time.
 


Two to three hours, maybe? There are three Australian spiny lobsters. We shouldn’t waste it.
Huo Congjun chuckled.
 

Ling Ran thought about it and agreed.
 

Huo Congjun was excited and made two more calls to settle departmental matters before he called for a car.
 

When Department Director Kang saw the situation, he did not delay matters. In a show of shrewdness, he managed his own departmental matters through the phone.
 

At the same time, a new system mission popped up in front of Ling Ran.
 

[Mission: Show Your Skills]
 

[Mission Details: You can also show your skills outside the operating theater. Make Kang Jian and He Liang provide you with Peers’ Admiration Basic Treasure Chests by using your skills outside the operating theater. Then, from this, you can obtain more surgeries along with more freedom to choose your surgeries.]
 

[Reward: Intermediate Treasure Chest]
 

Ling Ran carefully read through the mission details twice and immediately came up with a suitable scenario in his mind. ‘Kang Jian and He Liang will both suffer cardiac arrests at the dining table… Hmm, it’s not suitable for both of them to have cardiac arrests together. Their cardiac arrests should happen concurrently, and I would save both of their lives through my skills with CPR…’


 

If he had to simulate the scenario in greater detail, then He Liang would suffer a cardiac arrest first, and Department Director Kang would perform CPR for He Liang. The burden on his heart would then be too great, resulting in him having a cardiac arrest as well…
 

When Ling Ran thought about that, he kept shaking his head and felt like he should not be thinking in such a manner. If a young person like He Liang suddenly suffered a cardiac arrest next to him, he could still save him without Department Director Kang’s help. If he did not make it, He Liang would not have the chance to give him a Peer’s Admiration Basic Treasure Chest…
 

What if only one of them had a cardiac arrest?
 

It would be difficult for him to obtain a Peers’ Admiration Basic Treasure Chest through CPR alone.
 

What about prolonged CPR?
 

…No, there was nothing worth admiring when a person suffered through a cardiac arrest with a group of doctors around and was eventually resuscitated through prolonged CPR.
 

For the same reason, skills such as tracheal intubation would not get him any admiration too.
 

Hepatectomy and the Achilles tendon repair technique would not be suitable to be performed outside the operating theater either…
 


What are you thinking?
After Huo Congjun finished his call, he called out for Ling Ran again. He was worried that if he was careless, Ling Ran would slip away into the operating theater.
 

Ling Ran certainly could not reveal anything about the system, and he only said,
I was thinking about bringing Zuo Cidian and Lu Wenbin.

 

Both of them were members of the CPR group. If the scenario Ling Ran thought about really happened, it would be more convenient with help from both of them.
 

Huo Congjun became even happier when he saw Ling Ran’s expression.
Of course. That’s the correct train of thought for you to have. Old Zuo has a glib tongue, and Lu Wenbin can talk to Doctor He. It’s also appropriate for him to serve others.

 

Out of the three people on his side, Ling Ran was the youngest, but he did not know about the unspoken rules of a feast. So, it would be better if he brought two other people to make up some numbers.
 

Ling Ran did not want to correct Huo Congjun because he just wanted to achieve his goal. It would be too difficult to correct other people’s opinions.
 

If he were to ask others to change, others would want to change his opinion as well. If that were the case, Ling Ran would not have been bothered by how he had to destroy the love letters he received when he was studying.
 


I’ll ask them to get ready at Prosperous Fountain Restaurant.
Ling Ran sent a WeChat message and gave Zuo Cidian a special reminder.
 

[When you come over, please remember to bring my tracheotomy pack.]
