Liu Jingze said, "They're different. Ah Yang was specially trained by my godfather, and he's very capable and adaptable. Ah An was my father's assistant because of our relationship with the Guo family. In reality, he asked me to mentor him for a while so he could work well. He's not with me anymore. His salary is actually paid by Grandpa Guo, and he even said he'd give me a share, but I refused. In fact, sometimes I feel like I'm his assistant. Ah Hui is someone I brought up myself. She's very determined and dedicated, but she can be quite irritating at times. Neither Ah An nor Ah Hui have had much contact with my godfather, but given their personalities, they'd definitely be scolded by him."
Su Tiantian said, "You and Dad both hired male secretaries. That Lan Quancong next to Godfather is called an assistant, so he can also be considered a secretary, right?"
Liu Jingze said, "About the same. He has a female secretary who stays at the company in Province C to handle work."
Li Yunling said, "Auntie is here."
Sang Yimei didn't come alone; Ma Yuguang and Ma Yiqian were also there. Sang Yimei left in a hurry, and as soon as she arrived, she complained to Su Zhihao, "Your father was already in the operating room, so you only informed me."
Su Zhihao looked at Su Tiantian for help. Su Tiantian said, "It's all my fault. I was too anxious and forgot to call Mom." Then she lowered her voice and said to Sang Yimei, "Don't worry too much, Mom. Brother Jing knows the vice president here. He said it's a minor operation and he's arranged to have the doctor who's best at this type of surgery."
After hearing this, Sang Yimei finally felt less worried. Liu Jingze said, "Mother-in-law, please sit down first. The operation will probably be completed in more than half an hour."
Ma Yuguang said, "Yes, Yimei, don't worry too much. Just be patient. Appendicitis surgery is not a major operation. If it were a major operation, they would have been transferred to a hospital in the city."
Su Tiantian said: "Thank you, uncle and second cousin, for bringing my mother here. Why don't you go back first?"
Ma Yuguang said, "I came here specifically. I won't go back until Jinyuan leaves the operating room."
Liu Jingze said: "My father also said he wanted to come over, but I persuaded him not to."
Ma Yiqian said, "We're family, so let's not be polite. Let's wait together. I'm worried at home too."
Seven people were waiting outside the operating room. Just before ten o'clock, the door opened and a nurse came out with a tray. She held something with tweezers and said, "This is the patient's appendix. Family, please take a look. We need to send it to the pathology department for testing."
Su Tiantian said: "How is the patient now?"
The nurse said, "The patient will be wheeled out after half an hour of observation and sent to the operating room. Please be patient and wait."
Everyone had to continue waiting. About half an hour later, the bed was pushed out. Director Xiao said, "Send him back to the ward first. I will tell him the precautions later." While pushing the bed, Su Tiantian and Su Zhihao called out to their father. Su Jinyuan was awake, and they felt relieved. Everyone was very concerned about Su Jinyuan and followed him to the ward.
After the patient passed the bed, the nurse removed the pillows from the bed and hung up the IV. Director Xiao said, "The patient's operation was successful, but you need to pay attention to postoperative care and someone will be there to accompany you. You must lie flat on your back for 8 hours. Lying flat on your back means you can't sleep with a pillow, just like you are sleeping now. In addition, you must fast for these 8 hours and can only drink water after 8 hours. If you pass gas, you can eat liquid food. It is best to eat semi-liquid food for the next two or three days. You can try to get out of bed and move around 12 hours after the operation to promote the recovery of intestinal peristalsis and prevent intestinal adhesions. However, when getting out of bed, someone must hold you steady to prevent you from falling. If there is anything, press the call bell at the bedside and the nurse will come."
Su Tiantian said, "Director Xiao, does liquid food refer to porridge?"
Director Xiao said: "When you first start eating, it's best to eat porridge water, which is the layer on top of the porridge. It's easy to digest. Lean meat soup is also OK, but it shouldn't be too greasy."
Everyone said, "Thank you, Director Xiao."
Director Xiao looked at Liu Jingze and said, "Mr. Liu, if you have anything, you can call me. I'm off work now and will be back at work tomorrow morning."
Liu Jingze said: "I am so grateful to Director Xiao. He even came back to perform the surgery during his rest period at night."
Director Xiao said: "This is my responsibility."
When it came to choosing a bedside companion, Su Zhihao was the obvious choice. Sang Yimei said, "You stay here tonight. I'll take over tomorrow morning. You can look after A Ling at the factory first."
Su Tiantian stood at the head of the bed, watching the dripping speed of the IV drip, and said, "What about me?"
Sang Yimei said, "You are someone else's daughter-in-law. Your husband's birthday is tomorrow. He stayed with him all night and even helped find a doctor. Go back and rest quickly. Spend his birthday with him tomorrow. We won't go to dinner."
Liu Jingze said: "Doesn't my mother-in-law consider me one of her own? Birthdays come every year, but they are nothing compared to my father-in-law's health."
Su Jinyuan spoke in a low voice, so Su Zhihao quickly leaned over to listen, and Su Tiantian did the same. It turned out that Su Jinyuan asked everyone to go back and rest, and Zhihao was enough to stay here.
Ma Yuguang, Ma Yiqian, Sang Yimei, and Li Yunling took a car back. Su Tiantian and Liu Jingze also went back to rest. Liu Jingze said, "Zhihao, I'll have someone bring you breakfast tomorrow morning. You don't have to buy it. When your father-in-law sees when he can eat, let me know and I'll have someone bring it over."
Su Zhihao was not polite: "Thank you, brother-in-law."
Liu Jingze stood at the head of the bed, bent down and said to Su Jinyuan: "Father-in-law, you should have a good rest. Dad will come to see you tomorrow."
Su Jinyuan said no, and Liu Jingze said, "You know his temper. If he says he'll come, he'll definitely come. Just rest assured and don't worry too much. We are all here."
It was already past eleven o'clock when Su Tiantian and Liu Jingze got home, and Liu Liangjie was actually waiting in the living room.
Liu Jingze said, "Dad, you haven't slept yet?"
Liu Liangjie said, "How can I sleep if you guys aren't back yet? You must be hungry. I asked Sister Lan to make some lean meat porridge and steamed buns. You guys should eat something before you go to sleep."
They didn't feel hungry at first, but after hearing what Liu Liangjie said, they both felt hungry. Sister Lan served the porridge and put the buns on the coffee table.
Su Tiantian said: "Thank you, Dad."
Liu Liangjie said, "Tiantian, don't worry too much. Your father had a minor operation and will recover soon. I will accompany you to the hospital to see him tomorrow morning."
Su Tiantian said, "This is too much trouble for Dad, is it not necessary?"
Liu Liangjie said, "How close is your father to me? Needless to say, the doctor will be doing rounds around 8 o'clock, so it's perfect for us to go then."
Liu Jingze picked up a bun, took a bite, and said, "Tiantian, are you still going to work tomorrow morning?"
Su Tiantian hesitated a bit. "I've already asked for leave tomorrow afternoon, so I can just work three hours at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, but I'm a little worried about Dad."
Liu Liangjie said, "I'll go to the hospital with you at 8 o'clock tomorrow. After that, you can go to work. I'll ask Ah Xi to take you to work. Your mother or brother will be at the hospital. Don't worry, we'll be there if anything happens. The hospital is only a 10-minute drive away."
Liu Jingze said, "Last night we were at the hotel, which is a bit far from the hospital. It's indeed closer to the hospital at home. Tiantian, you can go back to work without worry. The day after tomorrow, you can take over and accompany your father-in-law."
Su Tiantian said, "Then I'd better go to work. Mom will accompany Dad tomorrow morning."
