Zheng Ren greeted them respectfully. "Chief Bao, Chief Kong, it's a pleasure to meet you all."
"Please have a seat," Chief Bao said jovially, "You're one of us; there's no need to be so formal."
After the customary refusals, both chiefs were seated on the sofa while Zheng Ren sat on a small stool beside the bed. Su Yun stood behind Zheng Ren with his head lowered.
Feng Xuhui was stuck in an awkward position, not knowing whether it was appropriate to leave the room.
"Let me introduce you both," Chief Bao said, filling the role of host. "This is Dr. Zheng Ren, as I'm sure you know. This is Dr. Zheng's assistant, Su Yun, also known as the rising star of cardiothoracic surgery."
"Hmm?" Chief Kong was taken aback at the mention of Su Yun's name. It felt familiar.
"You left Imperial Capital for almost two years. Do you remember at all?" Chief Bao looked at Chief Kong sardonically, as if quizzing him.
