Chapter 331 Demonstrative Surgery (Requesting Monthly Tickets, Subscriptions)

Chen Yu really wanted to enjoy a quiet dinner with Jounouchi Hiromi, but the call from Zhu Yiting disrupted his plans.

"Mr. Chen Yu, what's wrong? Whose call has made you look so upset?" Seeing Chen Yu's complexion worsen after he took the call, Jounouchi Hiromi, who had been looking at the menu deciding what to order, immediately asked with concern.@@@@

"It was Zhu Ting's call. She's coming over with their hospital's surgical director, the head of surgery at the Japanese Hospital, to talk about her husband's surgery," Chen Yu explained the situation to Jounouchi Hiromi based on what Zhu Yiting had told him over the phone.

Upon hearing Chen Yu's words, Jounouchi Hiromi couldn't hide her surprise: "Eh? Is there a problem with her husband's surgery? Didn't you, Mr. Chen Yu, cleanly remove his tumor before? Could there be a complication? I remember she called you yesterday morning, right after we got home. It wasn't about this, was it?"

"Yes, it is about this, but it's not that her husband's condition has recurred, it's something more troublesome," Chen Yu nodded, then shook his head with a wry smile. "Her husband has multiple primary cancers. He has both ulcerative gastric cancer and cancer in the bile duct at the hepatic hilum."

"Really? That's shocking!" Jounouchi Hiromi's eyes widened in astonishment. The likelihood of having multiple primary cancers was already low, and to be afflicted with two types of malignant tumors was akin to winning the jackpot in a lottery, leaving one unsure whether to call it lucky or unfortunate.

However, alongside her astonishment, Jounouchi Hiromi also grew worried: "Cancer in the bile duct at the hepatic hilum should be very difficult to operate on, right? If I recall, back when I was just an anesthesiologist, someone performed that surgery, and it lasted 12 hours. I was exhausted just sitting there; it's not an easy surgery!"

"12 hours? If it were me, I should be able to keep it within 8 hours," Chen Yu laughed upon hearing Jounouchi Hiromi mention the surgery lasting 12 hours and joked, "If it was Daimon-san, she could probably finish the surgery in six hours, right?"

Zhu Yiting and the senior director arrived quite promptly, and considering the short travel time from the city hospital, their timing was not surprising.

"Chen Yu, this is Director Liu from our hospital's surgery department." It was naturally up to Zhu Yiting to introduce everyone at such occasions, "Director, this is Professor Chen Yu from the University of Tokyo Medical Department, the surgeon who operated on my husband before."

"Professor Chen Yu! I've long admired your work! I've read your paper published in 'The Lancet' about surgery on cancer at the hepatic hilum, and I found your insights into the various problems encountered during surgery extremely enlightening!" Although he appeared to be much older than Chen Yu, the senior director reached out and eagerly shook hands with him, lavishing him with compliments.

While shaking hands with Director Liu, Chen Yu had to force a smile to respond to his compliments: "Not at all, I've never been particularly good with papers. That article was written during my PhD studies at The University of Tokyo. If it weren't for the guidance of the professors there, it wouldn't have been publishable. You flatter me too much, Director Liu."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they finally sat down.

"Professor Chen, I am a man who doesn't beat around the bush, so I'll get straight to the point," Director Liu might not be adept at networking, so after a brief introduction, he directly made his request to Chen Yu: "I would like to ask you to perform this surgery for Xiao Zhu's loved one. After all, you were the one who performed his previous gastric tumor surgery, and now, this..."

"It's not just as simple as wanting me to operate, is it? You also want me to make this surgery a demonstrative one, providing live teaching, don't you?" Chen Yu voiced the unspoken part of Director Liu's request.
