“Xiao Lin, what’s wrong?” Department Chief Kong looked at the number and answered the call.

“I heard Boss Zheng is back. If you want me to treat you to a meal, now is the perfect time.”

“Okay, I’ll ask Boss Zheng for his opinion.”

After saying that, Department Chief Kong hung up the phone.

“Boss Zheng, Lin Jiaojiao called. She said she wants to treat you to a meal.” Department Chief Kong asked him, “Are you tired?”

Zheng Ren wanted to refuse but when he thought of the box of limited-edition carrot lipsticks that Lin Jiaojiao gave him, the words could not come out of his mouth.

Not only did she buy it, but she also rushed to Sea City. She had done him a big favor.

Taking a look at Xie Yiren, she could do nothing about it.

“Okay, Department Chief Kong. I’ll have to trouble you, Sister Lin.” Zheng Ren forced a smile.

Department Chief Kong was very curious since he did not expect Zheng Ren to agree.

Although Zheng Ren had opened up Lin Jiaojiao’s gaze at the Imperial Capital last time, they could be considered acquaintances. However, that was because Zheng Ren had helped Lin Jiaojiao a great deal. With Zheng Ren’s temper, it did not make sense for him to reluctantly agree.

However, he did not ask. He gave Lin Jiaojiao a call, arranged a place, and drove there right away.

This time, Lin Jiaojiao chose a place that was not in the city center, but a guildhall next to the Shangzhuang Reservoir.

Anyway, rather than dealing with the jam on the First and Second Ring Road, it would be faster to drive out of the city.

Furthermore, Shangzhuang was not far, much closer than the thirteen tombs reservoir and so on. It was convenient.

Driving all the way to Shangzhuang Reservoir, Department Chief Kong asked about the journey to Stockholm.

Zheng Ren said a few words before Su Yun took over the conversation.

The process of rescuing Dr. Mehar was already extremely dangerous, not to mention the fact that the world’s top hospitals and interventional cardiologists were helpless. Zheng Ren actually solved the problem, which made Department Chief Kong feel even more amazed.

This Little Zheng could even perform a circulatory intervention? Moreover, it looked like he was at the top of the world. Department Chief Kong refreshed his impression of Zheng Ren once again in his heart.

Department Chief Kong had long expected that Dr. Mehar would require at least 3,000 surgeries before he would approve. He instructed Zheng Ren to keep all the information about the cases he had performed in Sea City and Provincial Capital, as well as the cases Gao Shaojie would perform in the Provincial Capital in the future.

Not only did he have to keep them, but he also had to keep all kinds of data according to the requirements of the awards for the judges.

The professor had a corresponding request. He said that he would send it to Gao Shaojie tomorrow and ask him to sort out the information of the patients who underwent the TIPS surgery in the Provincial Capital.

The car went through the loop line so there was no traffic.

It was past four o’clock when they arrived at Shangzhuang Reservoir.

It was the middle of March. Spring was warm and the flowers were in bloom with a faint hint of green in the scenery.

During this time of year, there was nothing special about the Imperial Capital. Lin Jiaojiao probably knew that Zheng Ren was very quiet, so she chose a secluded area.

The car made many turns. Soon, a courtyard house appeared in front of them.

Lin Jiaojiao stood at the door, followed by the a.s.sistant that had followed her to Sea City the last time. She had been waiting for a long time.

Lin Jiaojiao was very warm when she saw Zheng Ren. However, when she saw Xie Yiren, she guessed that she was the little girlfriend that Zheng Ren had gifted the lipsticks to. Therefore, Lin Jiaojiao acted more enthusiastically to Xie Yiren.

After a simple greeting, they entered the courtyard house.

It was late spring in the courtyard, a different kind of feeling. Although the courtyard was not big, it was exceptionally exquisite. It did not take the usual Northern region style, but it had a bit of the Suzhou and Hangzhou flavor.

Zheng Ren was let in, and the professor followed behind. Everything was new to him.

Lin Jiaojiao knew that he was a world-famous professor, so she patiently explained the origins of all kinds of buildings to the professor.

Her words were gentle, but her experience and knowledge could not be underestimated. Zheng Ren thought that the building looked ordinary. Lin Jiaojiao told them countless facts, with all kinds of official and unofficial history. She was able to recall all of these facts with ease, stunning the professor.

Zheng Ren also sighed. Lin Jiaojiao had resigned from the hospital. As expected, she was able to build such a large family business. She was well-versed in all aspects and knew how to cater to others but he was unable to do the same.

It was spring. Lin Jiaojiao prepared river fish for them and invited the master from the Fu Xiu restaurant to cook it. The meal looked like nothing much, but it was done with care.

There were no accompanying guests, just them and Lin Jiaojiao. Su Yun and Chang Yue accompanied Department Chief Kong to drink some wine.

Seeing that Zheng Ren was almost done eating, Lin Jiaojiao smiled and said, “Boss Zheng, there’s something I would like to trouble you with.”

“Sister Lin, please tell me what it is.” Zheng Ren also learned to talk like the people from the Imperial Capital.

Just like the j.a.panese, bowing and apologizing was just a habit. It did not mean that they were actually being respectful.

When people in the Imperial Capital scolded others, most of them also habitually said things like ‘you’.

Lin Jiaojiao sighed. “This matter is especially laughable. The daughter of a friend of mine put on a little weight, so she been taking care to lose weight.”

Zheng Ren was silent and listened quietly.

“We tried all kinds of methods but the results weren’t good. She was especially gluttonous and could not lose weight no matter how hard she tried.” Lin Jiaojiao sighed again before she continued, “Later, she came to me. Although I’m a beautician, I’m still someone who worked in the medical industry. I don’t lie to my customers.”

Zheng Ren nodded. He did not know about the beauty world.

“The child asked for my opinion. I don’t have any good ideas here. We’ve all been told that to lose weight, all you need to do is to control your eating habits and be active. If you can’t stop eating, then what else can you do?”

That was indeed the case. Zheng Ren nodded.

He could feel that she was getting closer to the point.

“Later on, the child heard from someone that the surgery department had a surgical method to treat obesity, so she asked me to contact a doctor to do the surgery for her. I rejected her. Doesn’t that sound like nonsense?” Lin Jiaojiao was a little angry but she controlled her emotions very well.

“That’s true.” Zheng Ren knew that obesity could be treated with surgery. There were only a few surgical methods. The simplest was gastric band surgery, which was to tie a band around the stomach so that one could not eat.

However, this type of surgery had many shortcomings and was gradually being phased out.

Then there was gastric bypa.s.s surgery, sleeve gastrectomy, and bile-pancreatic shunt duodenal switch surgery.

The last surgery was different but the principle was the same. It was to make the stomach shrink so that you could not eat so much even if you wanted to.

Zheng Ren’s heart moved. He looked at Lin Jiaojiao and waited for her to continue.

“I rejected the child so she looked for a few doctors but no one did it for her. Tell me, a 18 or 19-year-old girl wants to cut two-thirds of her stomach. Isn’t that just a foolish thing to do?”

“What happened after that?”

“After that, she went to an underground clinic in Xiangjiang for gastric bypa.s.s surgery.” When she said that, Lin Jiaojiao sighed again.

Zheng Ren was also speechless.

Gastric bypa.s.s surgery simply meant that the stomach was divided into two parts, one big and one small. The small stomach was used to hold food, and most of the stomach and small intestine were left empty.

By doing this, not only would they eat less… They would not be able to eat more even if they wanted to. Moreover, most of the small intestine was left empty, resulting in a problem with nutrient absorption.

It was impossible not to lose weight like that.

However, the harm done to the human body was also very huge.
