Chapter 29: A Completely New Version Never Seen Before?

Jiang Yuan looked puzzled. "Didn't we already have a patient come in with ping-pong balls stuffed in their nether regions? Why is there another one?"

"Do these young people nowadays really have such twisted hobbies?"

Li Qin briefly explained the situation.

"Ah, I see. A pure-hearted college student met a scumbag," Jiang Yuan remarked with a sudden realization.

"How about it? Interested in going to take a look later?" Li Qin asked with a smile.

"Sure, it’ll be a good chance to broaden my horizons," Jiang Yuan replied, his interest piqued.

Lin Nan said to Xiao Li with a faint smile, "Tell that patient to wait. We need to take a shower and then grab something to eat. After that, I have to stop by Director Bai's office before I can see him."

"We’ll head over first after we eat, and you can join us later," Li Qin said, waving his hand.

Lin Nan nodded.

"Fine, I'll go soothe him for now. He seems to be in quite a hurry," Xiao Li said helplessly.

"No matter how urgent it is, he'll just have to wait," Lin Nan shrugged.

Xiao Li then hurried away.

"By the way, Lin Nan, who exactly was that woman? She didn't seem very friendly toward you," Jiang Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"We grew up together. Our families arranged a marriage contract for us a long time ago," Lin Nan said with a shrug.

"A marriage contract?" Li Qin exclaimed. "Does that mean she’s your fiancée?"

After saying this, he looked at Lin Nan with sympathy. Having a fiancée like that would surely make for a miserable married life.

Jiang Yuan looked at Lin Nan with similar pity.

"She used to be, but not anymore. I called off the engagement yesterday, and the contract is officially cancelled," Lin Nan said with a light smile.

"You broke it off? And you were the one to propose it?" Li Qin was stunned for a moment before giving him a thumbs-up. "Well done! A woman who is constantly pointing fingers and blaming others is not worth marrying. You’d definitely be cursed if you brought her home."

Jiang Yuan nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly.

Lin Nan scoffed inwardly. If one were to bring a woman as self-righteous and arrogant as Xu Weiwei home, "cursed" would be an understatement; it would be the ultimate misfortune.

After showering and changing into his white coat, Lin Nan grabbed a quick bite at the cafeteria and headed to Bai Yunxiao's office.

Inside the office, Bai Yunxiao, Yuan Gang, and Xia Minghui were all still present.

The three, who had been chatting idly, immediately turned their gaze toward Lin Nan as he entered.

"Director Bai, I didn't let you down. I've finished the surgery," Lin Nan said with a smile.

"You did an excellent job," Bai Yunxiao said, making no effort to hide his praise. "We watched your performance in the operating room from start to finish. Not just me, but Director Xia and Director Yuan are also full of admiration for you."

Lin Nan looked at the other two and said modestly, "You are both too kind."

Yuan Gang waved his hand and laughed. "We aren't just being polite; we are truly impressed."

"Indeed. Our eyes were clouded before, failing to realize that the Emergency Department had a talent like you. You’ve truly opened our eyes," Xia Minghui said cheerfully.

"But I am curious—you are so young, how did you master so many complex techniques?"

Lin Nan had anticipated this question and had his response ready. He replied seriously, "I enjoy watching surgical videos in my spare time to learn advanced medical techniques."

Bai Yunxiao nodded inwardly. This was exactly what he had expected.

"You can master these techniques just by watching videos?" Yuan Gang asked with surprise.

"That’s not enough, of course," Lin Nan shook his head. "After watching, I memorize the movements, techniques, and precautions, and then I practice repeatedly in private using pork or beef."

"With time, I naturally became proficient."

He wasn't lying. This was precisely the method he had used in his past life to refine the skills that granted him his current level of ability. Whether it was technique or experience, both required time to accumulate.

The three directors exchanged glances, inwardly moved. It was no wonder Lin Nan possessed such skill; not only did he have the innate talent to learn from videos, but he was also incredibly hardworking, practicing constantly in private. With both talent and diligence, if Lin Nan wasn't capable, who was?

Yuan Gang looked at Lin Nan with increasing satisfaction.

He rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "Lin Nan, from the surgery you just performed, I can see that you have exceptional talent in neurology. I feel that keeping you in the Emergency Department is a waste of your gifts. If you are willing, I can bring you into our Neurology Department to specialize in neurological work."

"Specialization is key. If you focus your time and energy here, I believe you will achieve great things in the field of neurology in the future."

Lin Nan was stunned. Is Director Yuan trying to poach me?

Yuan Gang looked at him with expectation, waiting for a response. In his view, the Emergency Department was a grueling place, especially for residents and doctors at lower levels. Many fresh medical graduates dreaded the Emergency Department, and very few were willing to work there voluntarily.

So, he assumed that given the chance, Lin Nan would definitely want to leave the Emergency Department for a more comfortable environment, like his Neurology Department.

"Your Director Bai has already said that as long as you are willing to come, he will not stand in your way," Yuan Gang added with a smile.

Lin Nan glanced at Bai Yunxiao and shook his head without hesitation. "Thank you for the kind offer, Director Yuan, but I feel the Emergency Department is more suitable for me."

Yuan Gang was dumbfounded by the rejection.

"Lin Nan, I said it before—if you are willing to join us in Neurology, Director Bai won't object. You don't have to worry about him," Yuan Gang reminded him quickly. He assumed Lin Nan was refusing out of respect for Bai Yunxiao.

Lin Nan said solemnly, "Director Yuan, this has nothing to do with Director Bai. I simply believe the environment of the Emergency Department is more conducive to my growth. I like the busy and fulfilling atmosphere—something I wouldn't feel in any other department."

Yuan Gang was stunned for a long moment. Finally, he sighed and said, "Very well, if that's the case, I won't force you."

Seeing Yuan Gang go from confident to disappointed, Bai Yunxiao smiled. "Director Yuan, since Lin Nan isn't willing, I'm afraid I can't help you."

He looked at Lin Nan with great satisfaction. This kid was becoming more and more likable. It seemed he needed to accelerate Lin Nan's promotion to attending physician.

Yuan Gang waved his hand with a bitter smile.

"Directors, I have another patient to see, so I'll take my leave now," Lin Nan said, exiting the office.

He headed straight to an examination room. When he pushed the door open, he saw Li Qin and Jiang Yuan already there. Lying on the bed was a young man with dyed yellow hair. His face was flushed, and he looked extremely uncomfortable.

"Lin, you're just in time," Li Qin said with a grave expression as soon as he saw Lin Nan. "This is a brand-new version we've never seen before. It’s a massive challenge."

Lin Nan glanced at the yellow-haired youth, his heart skipping a beat. A brand-new version they'd never seen before? How exaggerated could it be for Li Qin to say something like that?
