Chapter 491: Chapter 447: Thirty Years in East of the River, Thirty Years in West of the River

Professor Qin left Sanbo Hospital with Nurse Xiao Qin.

Nurse Xiao Qin said she would be back soon to study with Xiao Su.

During these days at Sanbo, Professor Qin discovered that Yang Ping’s talent was far beyond his imagination. Now, bringing Yang Ping into 301 wasn’t only an upper-level instruction; it had also become Professor Qin’s personal ambition, and the aspiration was very intense.

In short, Professor Qin had taken a liking to this young man.

Whether out of self-interest or public interest, he was in favor of him.

Professor Liang informed the laboratory in Guilin, Guangxi, to make time for Yang Ping’s animal experiment on spinal external fixations.

Yang Ping planned to take a trip to Guilin, Guangxi, to examine the experimental conditions there as there were many instruments in the future that would require animal tests. Upon receiving the news, Professor Liang immediately notified the people there to prepare for Yang Ping’s visit.

After the inauguration of the Surgical Research Institute, Yang Ping’s work didn’t change much. He was still tirelessly operating every day, but the scope of the surgeries had expanded. Now he didn’t have to worry about surgical privileges and could exercise his skills freely.

Weekends were for resting; no surgeries were performed.

On Saturday mornings, all the doctors in the department gathered to review the previous week’s surgeries, discuss the surgeries for the next week, and took the opportunity to further their studies.

Sundays were for pure rest, allowing everyone to relax from their constant state of tension, which could easily snap if extended for too long.

Yu Shuilian opened a bakery on the first floor of the Tri-Bo Hotel.

The pastry chef from Hong Kong kept his promise and often came to teach baking skills to the couple.

The first floor of the Tri-Bo Hotel was bustling with a lot of shops. All the hospital’s shops were concentrated here, and the customers were patients and their families.

Aside from convenience stores, fruit shops, and catering shops, there were also pharmacies and medical equipment stores such as eyewear shops, hearing aid stores, and prosthetics shops. Essentially, they were businesses revolving around the hospital scene. Some stores were owned by the hospital, some were opened by outsiders.

The inspiring story of the "half-man" helped the bakery do very well. Out of curiosity or compassion, some people would patronize their business.

In the beginning, Yu Shuilian was ill at ease with the strange looks from passersby, but gradually, she completely adapted. It was just another lifestyle.

Hermes hadn’t appeared on the overhead bridge for a few months and he didn’t show up for follow-up treatment either.

As the spirit of the Wanderers band, Hermes’s departure dealt them a gigantic blow; the new lead singer was clearly unable to hold the stage.

At some point, the band disbanded, and the bridge returned to its previous humdrum. What remained were stallholders, people selling protective film for mobile phones, secret recipes, antiques, and ticket touts.

Now Hermes reappeared in the ward, with his modish wife in tow.

He came for a check-up, considering having the external fixator on his right lower leg removed.

Seeing the doctor, Hermes was like a big shot returning home, nonstop handshaking, expressing gratitude to the doctors for preserving his leg.

Everywhere he went, he pointed out places, indicating how familiar he was with the place.

In fact, it hadn’t been long since he left Sanbo Hospital, only a few months. But Hermes felt as if he had been away for years.

The Hermes belt that had been missing from his waist for a long period was back, and it was new.

Hermes didn’t use a wheelchair, aided by crutches, he walked very nimbly.

Little Five pulled up a chair for him. When Hermes was previously hospitalized, Little Five had been his doctor in charge and had followed up on his case since his discharge.

"Sasha, you sit, rest a while."

Hermes was exceedingly tender towards his wife.

"Sit down, everyone!"

Little Five pulled up another chair.

Hermes sat down, looking around: "The sign outside has changed, but the doctor’s office hasn’t. That skeleton model is still placed there."

"You were due for a check-up last month, and according to the schedule, we were supposed to remove the external fixators. But we couldn’t get a hold of you; your phone was unreachable too." Little Five criticized Hermes for his phone always being switched off.

"I was in Africa for a few months." Hermes hastily explained.

Since he went to Africa, he had been using a different phone, that’s why this one was unreachable.

Little Five looked at him: "Old Wang, you’re now rich, making a fortune in Africa?"

"Getting rich is an overstatement. I got my African mines back, thanks to the country. The gold mine I invested in Africa, regained after it was lost, and my dividend was accurately calculated, a mere ten billion. Small money, not worth mentioning." Hermes chuckled, his shirt shining like silk, he flicked a speck of dust off his sleeve.

I had previously heard about his investment in a gold mine in Africa, but then the country went to war, and the gold mine was taken over by anti-government forces and confiscated, directly leading to the loss of a share bonus of over 10 billion, causing a chain reaction and the company went bankrupt. Now that he’s regained control of the mine, it’s like a resurrection.

Thirty years on one side of the river, thirty years on the other, don’t belittle Old Wang because he’s broke!

Thinking about the time when the company went bankrupt and debt collectors came to the hospital, Hermes, who was forced by life to sing on the overpass, was filled with mixed feelings.

Only by experiencing ups and downs can people understand what’s real from what’s fake.

Hermes had been in Africa for a few months this time. Not only did he regain the mine, but he also obtained the mining rights to several other mines. It could be said that he found good fortune after a great disaster.

His life has begun a second spring.

Little Five was left in wonder after hearing Hermes’ story. This material could be used to make a TV series with a little bit of modification.

"Dr. Yang has gone to the radiology department. There’s a difficult case there and they want him to review the scans together. I’ll help you with the registration for your scans first. When he comes back, he’ll help you review the films to determine the time for your external fixator removal. Where is your consultation card?" Little Five asked him to take out his previous medical card.

His wife was looking through her bag for the card, there were too many cards and she couldn’t find it for a while.

"Don’t rush, Sasha, take your time!" Hermes said gently.

Once the card was found, Little Five helped him to order a review of his X-ray films.

"Africa is hot, and the medical conditions there are poor. I was worried that this needle hole would get infected. My wife would disinfect it every day with alcohol. Luckily, it was fine."

"I even doubted whether the alcohol there had enough concentration."

"There was no smell of alcohol."

Hermes pulled up his pants to let Little Five check the needle hole. Fortunately, the hole was sealed by a scab, very dry, without any obvious redness or swelling around it, no exudation, no signs of infection, the alcohol in Africa was pretty good.

After Hermes reviewed his X-ray films, Yang Ping came back from the radiology department.

Seeing Yang Ping, Hermes was very excited. In fact, during his darkest period of life, Hermes felt warmest in the hospital.

At that time, without money, Yang Ping asked him not to worry and let him stay in the suite. For several check-ups, Yang Ping helped him save money. When he was singing on the overpass, Yang Ping even talked to the security guard so as not to put him in a difficult situation. Hermes remembered all these.

Yang Ping looked at the X-ray film on the lightbox. The newly grown bone tissue of the right tibia not only connected well after the elongation but also had a good shape. The reconstruction of the trabeculae was also good. He advised that the rehabilitation specialist guide Hermes for three to four weeks of training, and then the frame could be removed.

"Dr. Yang, let’s find a time to have a gathering, with me as the host. You choose the place."

Hermes still spoke as a tycoon.

"Okay, coordinate with Little Five." Yang Ping did not reject.

"I heard that our hospital has recently set up a foundation. This foundation mainly raises funds for Dr. Yang’s research?"

Hermes was confident and spirited when he called Sanbo Hospital "our hospital," which showed his deep affection for Sanbo.

"Yes, the demand for research funds is huge. Attracting social donations is one way. Whether you are planning to be admitted or getting outpatient treatment, all are possible." Yang Ping turned off the lightbox.

"Hospitalization, hospitalization. Is the suite still vacant? If it is, can I stay there? How do I contact this foundation? I want to donate some small money to show support." Hermes rubbed his head, sporting a unique greasy middle-aged hairstyle where the sides are shaved and the top is left long.

"The office of the foundation is located in the Administration Building. You can find out by asking there." Little Five guided him.

The foundation had an office in the hospital, which was located in the administration building, but it was independent and had no management connection with the hospital. They only borrowed the hospital’s premises for an office.

Hermes said he would do it. So he hobbled on his crutch to the Foundation’s office for a look, and by the time he came back, Yang Ping hadn’t finished work yet.

"I just went to understand the donation procedure. I originally wanted to be the first to donate, but someone beat me to it. Anning Group donated one billion, and I heard the money is already in the account." Hermes looked a bit disappointed.

Being beaten to the first by President Ning from Anning Group, Hermes admitted defeat. What kind of enterprise was that group, a monstrous behemoth!

"Anning Group? Ning Qi’s Anning Group?" Yang Ping was surprised. It was so quick, the foundation wasn’t open for long.

"Apart from the Ning Family, is there a second Anning Group?" Hermes laughed.

"This young female president is a formidable role in the business world. Now, under her leadership, Anning Group is undergoing drastic reforms and the business is steadily rising." As a businessman, Hermes admired Anning Group extensively.

After talking with Yang Ping, Hermes went to see the little girl, Sisi.

She was such a well-behaved girl. When he was singing on the overpass, she even brought two thousand yuan to donate to him. He was curious about her condition and felt sorry for her.
