Surgery Godfather-Chapter 575 - 523 Clever Boss Lady

The hot pot meal was almost over.

The Mayor of Jeddah actually came to the restaurant to meet and greet Yang Ping and Robert, raising their glasses of juice in a toast.

The owners of Jixin Garden were very pleased, today’s distinguished guest certainly added prestige to their establishment.

The couple were savvy, they gathered some intelligence from the sidelines; this esteemed guest was a young professor from China who had been invited to perform surgery at IMC Hospital.

Watching the crowd of people fawning over the young Yang Ping, each one more respectful than the last, the Chinese owners felt an immense sense of pride.

Thus, they took the opportunity to propose a toast to Yang Ping using tea instead of alcohol, then handed him their business cards: "Professor Yang, your presence graced our establishment, whenever you visit Jeddah, consider this as your private kitchen, we are at your beck and call."

"We are always ready to welcome you, Professor. You can watch the Spring Festival Gala here tonight, and there will be a lion dance performance tomorrow morning. I wonder what kind of tea you like, West Lake Longjing, Anxi Tieguanyin, Dongting Biluochun, or Yunnan Pu’er. Although they aren’t top-notch, we have some stocked up."

The lady boss, who was quite experienced in managing the scene, listed all the types of valuable teas they had in store, deciding to bring out her finest reserves.

Running a restaurant involved a lot of socializing, the lady boss who was originally from Yunnan, planned to brew the tea in person.

Originally, they had planned to treat the whole table to a free meal in order to establish a relationship, but then the lady boss thought, considering their guests’ status, it would be improper to have their meal waived. So, they refrained from mentioning it.

"There’s no need for formalities, just bring a pot of Longjing!"

Yang Ping was quite straightforward.

Robert slowly fanned himself, "Indeed, bring a pot of Longjing for the professor."

"I originally planned to watch the Spring Festival Gala here, but last-minute emergencies have arisen, so I have to leave shortly."

Yang Ping was waiting for a call, once the arrival time of the wounded was confirmed, he might have to leave right away and wouldn’t have time to wait for the start of the Spring Festival Gala.

The lady boss had already instructed two waiters to eavesdrop on their conversation, noting everything in their minds.

These two waiters were not ordinary waitstaff, they were her star employees, highly observant, tactful, and exceptionally good at seizing opportunities.

So, the lady boss was already aware that a Chinese patient from Yemen was to be airlifted to IMC Hospital for emergency treatment, and that Yang Ping was about to perform the surgery.

The lady boss had secretly ordered the preparation of a late-night meal, to be served after the surgery. This meal would be on them.

The cost of a meal was insignificant, but it served as a gesture of goodwill.

In dealing with people, particularly those of such prominence, the emphasis was on sincerity.

The lady boss, a master of this strategy, had taken it upon herself to personally serve the table.

She had also planned to prepare a traditional Chinese breakfast the next morning to ensure Yang Ping started the New Year on a high note.

Finally, Yang Ping’s phone rang.

He picked up immediately, a man with a hoarse, urgent voice answered: "Hello, are you Professor Yang Ping from Nandu Province? I’m Qiu Zhiqiang, the Yemeni manager of Hua’an Gold Shield Security. My superior instructed me to contact you. The patient is en route to the airport and should arrive in Jeddah in about two and a half hours."

"How is the patient now?"

Yang Ping asked eagerly.

"Male, 32 years old, bomb blast injuries to head, chest, abdomen, and limbs with bleeding for 3 hours, currently in a coma, blood pressure 82/54mmHg, heart rate 118 beats/min, respiration 25 times/min, oxygen saturation 93%, under low-flow oxygen condition---, is receiving a blood transfusion and rehydration therapy!"

"Do you have any other examination results? Add me on WeChat, and send them over."

Those oral descriptions of the patient’s history and examination were far from enough. Yang wanted him to send over the imaging data as soon as possible.

"The local Red Cross Hospital is limited in resources but has managed to conduct chest scans and surface ultrasounds, as well as a whole-body CT scan. However, the CT machine is outdated, and the image quality is very poor. We’ll send them over right away." Qiu Zhiqiang struggled to maintain his calming voice.

Yemen has always been unstable with ongoing wars. They were the security personnel left behind, whose main task was to protect the property of Chinese-funded enterprises.

If the situation continued to worsen, they might also need to evacuate, but they would definitely be the last ones to leave.

Previously, Chinese companies operating overseas primarily hired security companies from Europe and America. However, in recent years, China’s own security companies have emerged and thrived.

Foreign security companies can be very costly and unreliable during critical times.

Because of this, Chinese-owned private security companies emerged, and the security tasks of Chinese enterprises gradually shifted to these companies within the country.

The employees of these companies are mostly ex-military personnel. For instance, Hua’an Gold Shield recruits security personnel with at least five year of service in Special Forces, Reconnaissance, and Marine Corps, and who have been retired for no more than two years. Thus, these security personnel are all elite soldiers, carrying out their missions in a different way after their retirement.

Chinese security companies do not carry guns overseas. Instead, they "command" the local subcontracting units and can "borrow" weapons from them in case of emergencies.

The other party did not have a mobile network and used the wired network of the hospital to send pictures, but the network speed was extremely slow, so it took Yang Ping a long time to receive the pictures.

Yang Ping had no choice but to read the textual report first, to roughly understand the extent of the injuries.

There was a shard lodged in the patient’s skull, shrapnel spread throughout the chest, abdomen, and limbs, and many large blood vessels were damaged by the shrapnel. There was also a piece near the heart in the mediastinum. The injuries were very severe.

"How is it, Professor?"

Robert had just heard the landlady call him Professor Yang Ping, and he followed suit.

When he was in China, he heard a Japanese person often call him Professor Yang Ping, and Robert didn’t think it was appropriate. Now it sounded completely natural.

The key point of using the title "professor" was to imply his student-teacher relationship with Yang Ping. freewebnøvel.com

Yang Ping told him: "The injuries are severe. I haven’t received the images yet. After three hours or so, the patient will be transferred to Jeddah airport. Have the IMC Hospital dispatch a helicopter to pick him up and prepare for his arrival at the Trauma Emergency Center. I will be the chief surgeon. I don’t know if there will be an issue with my temporary medical license."

Li Zehui confidently said: "There will be no issue. The temporary medical license covers emergency surgeries in trauma surgery as well as heart surgery."

Even if there was an issue, it wouldn’t matter too much, as it was possible to simply have a doctor from the IMC Hospital accompany him on stage.

It was clear that he wouldn’t be able to watch the Spring Festival Gala tonight, but at least he had gotten a few hours of sleep in the afternoon.

After confirming the news, everyone didn’t dare to delay. Robert and Li Zehui started making calls to coordinate the medical resources of the IMC Hospital and organize the emergency surgery.

The Chinese community’s New Year’s Eve party was still in progress in the hall, with some people in red scarves, presumably leaders, going around the tables to toast everyone.

Of course, due to Saudi Arabia’s laws, they were toasting with non-alcoholic beverages.

The landlady pulled Robert aside: "Mr. Robert, performing emergency surgery is a tough task. To express our utmost respect for you, our hotel has prepared complimentary midnight snacks for you. After the surgery, call this number and we will deliver them to your specified location."

The landlord then gave Robert a card.

The astute landlady had noticed that among the table of people, this foreigner who could speak Chinese had the closest relationship with Yang Ping and that there seemed to be a hierarchical relationship between them.

Robert accepted the card and readily agreed, which was exactly what he had in mind.

"Mr. Robert, I assume that after the surgery, you’ll need some rest. If it’s convenient, I can arrange for Chinese breakfast to be delivered to your hotel. I promise you, it will be the most authentic Chinese New Year breakfast." The landlady seized the opportunity.

Robert tapped his fan in his hands: "That’s convenient, very convenient. In order to keep the food fresh, I will inform you in advance of the specific time for the midnight snack and breakfast, and the delivery location."

"Thank you! Don’t forget to include Professor’s favorite West Lake Longjing tea, in China, it’s like coffee, it can revive spirits." The landlady immediately asked someone to fetch the tea.

Robert didn’t expect that the landlady would solve all the problems he had been thinking about.

"You are a very smart woman, I believe we will become friends with this hotel."

The landlady was very modest: "No, we sincerely want to do something for the doctors. While others are celebrating the holiday night, you have to work throughout the night."

"We didn’t tell you that we’re going to perform an emergency operation, yet you knew?" Robert thought this Chinese woman was extraordinary.

The landlady smiled slightly: "You may not be familiar with us Chinese people. When we do something for friends, we always try to be as thoughtful as possible."

"The midnight snacks and breakfast are settled." Robert made an ’OK’ gesture.

The landlady was very satisfied. She seized the opportunity, controlled the situation, built a relationship, and didn’t make anyone feel uncomfortable.
