Chapter 3 A Difficult Patient

• Zhao Qichen traveled abroad to discuss cooperation and connect with international celebrities.
• Naturally, he garnered significant attention in the financial and economic pages.
• As a scion of a prestigious family, he had a solid background, capability, and an outstanding appearance. Every move he made exuded extraordinary charm.
• He was the type of man that almost all women liked and wanted to conquer.
• With such a man, it was only natural that he would be surrounded by women.
• Whenever an opportunity arose, various women would immediately emerge, vying to be in his presence.
• They all wanted to win his favor.
• In just three months, he had enough women around him to change several times.
• During lunchtime, Cheng Cheng opened her Weibo and saw that there were rumors trending about Zhao Qichen and an international model.
• She couldn't help but curl her lips, completely unsurprised.
• Wherever Zhao Qichen went, he was always in high demand.
• He truly stood out from the rest.
• "Sister Cheng?"
• Someone knocked on the door.
• Cheng Cheng raised her eyes and saw Tan Ziran pushing the door open.
• "Come in and have a seat."
• Cheng Cheng closed Weibo, put her phone aside, and discussed matters with him.
• Tan Ziran had come for a multi-disciplinary consultation in the afternoon. The patient admitted this time was a big shot and had a somewhat peculiar temperament, making him difficult to handle.
• Difficult patients were common, occurring every year and every month.
• However, the specific difficulties varied.
• "The hospital director said that this patient is a bit strange."
• "What's so strange about him?" Cheng Cheng took a sip of water.
• Tan Ziran awkwardly spoke up, "He has a preference for attractive women."
• Cheng Cheng furrowed her eyebrows.
• Tan Ziran's gaze lingered on her for a moment, then he blushed and averted his eyes. "And they have to have a good figure."
• Cheng Cheng smiled. "Did the patient make this request?"
• "No," Tan Ziran touched his forehead and honestly replied, "It's just that male doctors and female doctors and nurses who are attractive but don't have a good figure have all been dismissed."
• "So, you guys think he prefers to be treated by attractive female doctors with a curvaceous figure?"
• "And...," Tan Ziran's face turned almost completely red, "a slim waist."
• Cheng Cheng put down her water cup, her eyes flickering slightly as she smiled. "It seems that all the female doctors in our hospital who meet his criteria have already seen him, otherwise, they wouldn't have sent you to find me."
• Tan Ziran felt extremely embarrassed.
• He didn't want his senior sister to come into contact with such a peculiar patient, but the hospital director insisted that he invite Cheng Cheng.
• Cheng Cheng was a calm and composed person, and she had a way with dealing with patients.
• Over the years in the hospital, no matter how irritable the patients were, they would instantly calm down in front of her, as if they had been doused with cold water.
• The hospital director had high hopes for her.
• And now, seeing everyone in the hospital at a loss, Cheng Cheng decided to take matters into her own hands and said, "Where is Deng Yu Jiao? Let her come with me."
• Deng Yu Jiao was also a stunning beauty.
• Little did they know, Tan Ziran spoke first, "Dr. Deng was the first one to be dismissed."
• Thinking about Deng Yu Jiao's personality, Cheng Cheng guessed that she was probably looking at herself in the mirror, doubting her own appearance. Cheng Cheng waved her hand and said, "Never mind, I'll go by myself."
• She arrived at the ward building.
• And went straight to the ninth floor.
• As soon as she got off the elevator, she saw a young nurse crying, with someone comforting her.
• Cheng Cheng glanced at them and asked, "What happened?"
• The nurse who was comforting immediately explained, "The patient in bed 35 called Xiao Jian an ugly freak."
• Cheng Cheng glanced at the nurse, Xiao Jian, and casually comforted her, "Stop crying, go back to work."
• Xiao Jian nodded, her nose still red.
• Xiao Jian was a new nurse in the hospital, only 22 years old, and was recognized as a beauty in the hospital.
• Her temperament and figure were perfect.
• She met Tan Ziran's requirements of having a curvaceous figure, a slim waist, and a high level of attractiveness.
• If such a beautiful girl couldn't take care of the patient in bed 35, then what exactly did he want?
• Cheng Cheng knocked on the door but didn't get a response, so she pushed the door open.
• As soon as the door opened, a water cup grazed her ear and smashed into the wall.
• The floor was covered in broken porcelain shards.
• There was only one high-end hospital bed in this ward.
• Sitting on the bed was a young man with white bandages wrapped around his wrists and neck.
• He looked to be in his early twenties, but had a strong hostility.
• He was quite good-looking, but his eyes were like those of a paranoid lunatic.
• When he saw Cheng Cheng, his previous gloomy and eccentric temperament hadn't dissipated yet.
• Unexpectedly, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
• But then, it was covered up by his paranoid gaze.
• "I am the last doctor in our hospital that you haven't seen. If I still can't satisfy you, I suggest you transfer to another hospital."
• The young man stared at her as if he wanted to pierce through her indifferent appearance.
• But he spoke, "I'm not transferring."
• "So, can I understand that you are satisfied with my diagnosis for you?"
• The young man remained silent.
• Cheng Cheng didn't mind and turned around to open the door and walk out. "I'll go prepare the IV for you."
• "I want you to do it personally," the male student coldly demanded.
• Cheng Cheng's footsteps paused for a moment. She turned back, looked deeply into his eyes, and didn't say whether she agreed or not before turning and leaving.
• As soon as she stepped out, she saw the anxious-looking Dean Chen Ping An not far away in the corridor.
• There were also the Vice Dean and the department director, as well as the displeased-looking Tan Zi Ran.
• When the Dean saw her come out unharmed, he asked excitedly, "How is it?"
• "I'm ready to give him the IV, and he didn't refuse."
• Upon hearing her words, the Vice Dean and the department director happily chimed in, "We knew that Cheng Cheng would be able to handle it!"
• "Dr. Cheng is still the magic bullet of our hospital. She can handle even the most difficult patients."
• The leaders praised Cheng Cheng continuously, but Tan Zi Ran, with a gloomy expression, looked as if he had fallen seriously ill.
• Cheng Cheng glanced at him.
• Tan Zi Ran felt her gaze on him, but he didn't dare to meet her eyes.
• Cheng Cheng didn't say much and calmly walked away from him.
• Tan Zi Ran clenched his fists tightly by his side.
• That day, Liang Yan Yan stormed out of the hospital in tears after arguing with Tan Zi Ran.
• Within a single night, news of the incident had spread to all the medical staff in the hospital.
• Liang Yan Yan, still angry, refused to answer her phone. The next morning, Deng Yu Jiao handed her the breakfast she had bought and began discussing the events of the previous night.
• "Liang Yan Yan posted three Weibo updates and Moments posts last night, calling Tan Zi Ran a scumbag."
• "They had another fight?"
• "Yes," Deng Yu Jiao took a bite of the pancake she had bought on her way to work and said, "It's actually quite strange. Tan Zi Ran has been completely devoted to Liang Yan Yan for so many years, but they always end up fighting. I really don't understand why."
• Cheng Cheng wasn't one to gossip, so she remained silent and took her breakfast to the consultation room.
• After finishing her meal, she prepared to start her consultations.
• However, to her surprise, as soon as she reached the door of the consultation room, a nurse was already waiting for her. "Dr. Cheng."
• "What's the matter?"
• Cheng Cheng had a feeling that someone waiting for her so early in the morning was probably not a good sign.
• Sure enough, the nurse spoke up, "The patient in bed 35 is refusing to cooperate with the nurse during the IV infusion and has injured her."
• Cheng Cheng furrowed her brow.
• Without even having time to finish her breakfast, she handed it to the nurse and hurried towards the ninth floor ward.
• When she arrived, the cleaning lady had just finished sweeping away some broken glass shards.
• Cheng Cheng pushed open the door and entered, still able to see the blood stains on the floor that hadn't been cleaned yet.
• "Mr. Jiang."
• "Jiang Gu." He sat on the hospital bed, his beautiful and delicate face devoid of expression.
• "Mr. Jiang," Cheng Cheng asked him, "Why did you harm the nurse?"
• Jiang Gu tilted his head slightly, his glassy black eyes fixed on her. "I asked her to give me an IV."
• Cheng Cheng furrowed her brow.
• Jiang Gu continued, "Those people are clumsy, I don't like them."
• Cheng Cheng believed he should see a psychiatrist.
• After calming him down, she planned to go to the psychiatric department.
• Jiang Gu stared at her, slowly leaning back against the stack of pillows behind him, and reached out his hand towards her.
• "Come and give me the IV, quickly."
• He extended his hand towards her, revealing his small arm wrapped in bandages.
• Cheng Cheng noticed that the IV drip and everything she needed were already there, so she approached him and began the infusion.
• Jiang Gu closed his eyes, seemingly falling asleep, completely still.
• Cheng Cheng found a vein on the back of his hand and swiftly and almost painlessly inserted the needle for the IV.
• Once it was done, she adjusted the IV drip and prepared to leave quietly.
• But as she turned around, she heard Jiang Gu say from behind, "It's swollen."
• Cheng Cheng turned to look at his hand.
• Indeed, the previously fine IV needle had caused swelling, forming a lump on his hand.
• Cheng Cheng glanced at him. "I'll do it again."
• Jiang Gu still kept his eyes closed.
• However, the same thing happened again.
• She adjusted the IV drip, and just as she was about to leave, his hand swelled once more.
• When Cheng Cheng administered the IV for the third time, she pulled up a chair and sat by his hospital bed.
• Jiang Gu knew what she had done without opening his eyes and asked her, "Aren't you busy?"
• Cheng Cheng's eyes remained calm and devoid of emotion as she looked at him and calmly said, "I'll wait for you to finish the IV before I leave."
• Jiang Gu opened his eyes and glanced at the IV bottle. "How many bottles in total?"
• "Three bottles."
• "How long will it take to finish?"
• "Over four hours."
• He didn't say anything, closed his eyes again, as if falling asleep.
• Cheng Cheng looked at the back of his hand.
• There were several noticeable needle marks, all from today's IV infusion.
• Jiang Gu, the only son of the Jiang family, was not as well-behaved and obedient as rumored.
• On the contrary, he exhibited abnormal insanity.
