Chapter 1264: Chapter 1239: You Actually Know Him

Hearing the name Zhou Tao, a surprised look appeared on Director Liu’s face.

"You know Zhou Tao?" He looked at Ye Chen and asked.

"Yeah." Ye Chen replied lightly.

You had to know, Zhou Tao was a very famous cardiology expert. He had studied abroad before, and originally had the chance to stay overseas, but he was very patriotic and resolutely brought his family back to Huaxia.

"How do you know him? Can you introduce us sometime?" Director Liu asked with a pleading look.

"That’s no problem." Ye Chen said with a smile.

As he spoke, he took out his phone and dialed Zhou Tao’s number.

Zhou Tao was sitting in his office, studying a patient’s case file when his phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the screen and saw it was Ye Chen calling, so he hurriedly picked up.

"Mr. Ye, hello, please just tell me what you need." Zhou Tao said respectfully.

"Director Zhou, here’s the situation: I have a patient here who needs a cardiology operation. I’m wondering if you have time?" Ye Chen asked with a smile.

Director Liu knew Zhou Tao, and he knew even better that Zhou Tao was leaving the Country tomorrow. There was absolutely no way he’d do surgery for anyone now.

The reason he said all that was just to slap Ye Chen in the face. He felt this young guy was way too arrogant.

So young and he dared to say he knew Zhou Tao. You had to know Zhou Tao wasn’t someone just anyone could know, let alone ask for a surgery.

Even though Ye Chen’s clothes made him look like a rich man, money alone might not be enough to get Zhou Tao to move.

Director Liu stood to the side, waiting to watch Ye Chen make a fool of himself. He just wanted Ye Chen to understand the consequence of bragging.

"Of course I have time. Anything of yours is more important than anything else. Even if I have to squeeze, I’ll squeeze out the time." Zhou Tao said with a laugh.

Then he continued, "But before the surgery I need to understand the patient’s condition and then work out a treatment plan."

"Seeing the patient is no problem, but you’ll have to come to the hospital in person. Do you have time right now?" Ye Chen asked.

"No problem, I’ll head over right now. Please send me the address." Although Zhou Tao was unwilling in his heart, he still spoke with a smile.

Ye Chen sent the address to Zhou Tao and then hung up.

Director Liu had just heard the conversation between the Two People and couldn’t help looking at Ye Chen in front of him with even more shock.

He had originally thought Ye Chen was just bragging, but he hadn’t expected it to all be true.

The way Zhou Tao spoke to Ye Chen was so respectful. Someone who could make Zhou Tao treat him like that was definitely not an ordinary person—might even be some kind of super big shot.

Although Director Liu’s attitude toward Ye Chen just now had been decent, Ye Chen knew he still had his doubts and simply didn’t believe Ye Chen could really know the famous Director Zhou Tao.

"Director Liu, I’ve asked Director Zhou to come to your hospital. You don’t mind, do you?" Ye Chen looked at the man in the white coat in front of him and asked.

"Mind? Of course not. Director Zhou’s arrival will bring great honor to our hospital. We couldn’t invite him even if we wanted to." Director Liu waved his hand and said.

Just thinking that he was about to meet Director Zhou Tao, someone he didn’t even dare dream of seeing, Director Liu felt inwardly excited beyond words.

"Oh, that’s good then." Ye Chen nodded and said. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The middle-aged man and his mother were a bit dazed as well.

Although they didn’t really know who Zhou Tao was, from Ye Chen’s conversation with Director Liu, it was clear Zhou Tao was a very famous heart specialist.

"Looks like Mom is saved." The middle‑aged man’s face lit up with excitement.

From Director Liu’s earlier explanation of his mother’s condition, he had thought there was no way she could ever recover, but now a very famous director was about to come see her and operate on her.

This was really the clouds parting to reveal the moon.

The old lady was also very happy when she heard this. She had been feeling utterly hopeless before, but now it was like she saw a ray of hope.

The four of them waited in the room as time ticked by, second by second.

After a while, there was a knock at the door.

The door opened, and they saw a middle‑aged man in a suit and gold‑rimmed glasses standing outside.

Ye Chen and Director Liu both knew this middle‑aged man was none other than Director Zhou Tao, that very famous expert.

Seeing the person coming in, Director Liu hurried forward very respectfully and said with a smile, "Director Zhou, I’ve long heard of your great name. It’s truly my honor to see you today."

Zhou Tao merely smiled and nodded at the man in front of him.

Then he walked past him and went straight to Ye Chen, who was standing by the hospital bed, and said respectfully, "Mr. Ye, I’m here."

"Mm, thank you for the trouble, Director Zhou, making you come over so late." Ye Chen said politely.

"Mr. Ye, please don’t be so polite with me. Being able to help you is my honor." Zhou Tao quickly said.

He really didn’t dare let Ye Chen keep thanking him like that.

Zhou Tao knew very clearly that Ye Chen was a big‑shot Level figure. Even the hospital dean treated him with utmost respect, let alone him, a mere department director.

Hearing this, Ye Chen didn’t say anything more.

After the Two People exchanged a few polite words, Zhou Tao got down to business.

He knew the old lady next to Ye Chen was the patient, so he quickly asked, "Ma’am, what are you feeling uncomfortable with?"

"Hello, Director Zhou. My chest feels so tight, like I can’t catch my breath at all." The old lady said with a pained expression.

Actually, Zhou Tao didn’t really need to talk to the old lady personally to get her history, but since Ye Chen was standing right there, he had to show that he was taking it seriously.

Seeing Zhou Tao’s attitude, Ye Chen was quite satisfied in his heart.

He felt Zhou Tao really was a good doctor and a good expert, with a very good attitude toward his patients.

On this point, Ye Chen knew Zhou Tao wasn’t putting on an act; it was genuine.

After asking about the old lady’s condition, Zhou Tao looked over at Director Liu and asked with a smile, "You’re the old lady’s attending physician, right?"

"Yes, Director Zhou." Director Liu walked over, his face full of excitement.

Being able to talk directly with Zhou Tao like this, as fellow doctors, was such a huge boost to his reputation. Everyone would be insanely jealous.

"Mm, I’d like to see the old lady’s medical records. Could you please take me to have a look?" Zhou Tao said politely.

Hearing how courteous Zhou Tao was, Director Liu felt flattered.

He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Director Zhou, I know your time is very precious. How about you wait here, I’ll go to the office and get them for you so you don’t have to make another trip."

Director Liu felt that being able to run errands and do things for Zhou Tao was really a blessing accumulated from his previous life.

The circle of doctors is like this: if you have the skills, everyone will respect and value you.

Seeing Director Liu so enthusiastic, Zhou Tao could only nod and agree, "Then I’ll trouble you."
