Chapter 164 The Old Principal (Third Update, Please Subscribe, Request Monthly Tickets)

```

In the VIP ward, Zhang Zhao and his sister Zhao Min were helping to tidy up, placing their brought items into the cabinet.

Meanwhile, Xu Xiaohong stood by the bed while a nurse was tucking in the patient lying on the bed and checking the IV drip beside him.

"Really, the old man is of such an age and you still had him travel abroad! This counts as a taste of Western luxury, this Japanese hospital ward feels even more luxurious than the cadre sanatorium I visited back in the day! How much does this cost per day?" The patient lying in bed was none other than Chen Yu's old school principal.

After a series of ordeals, the principal had finally taken a flight to Japan and settled into the Eastern University Affiliated Hospital.

"Principal, just stay here with peace of mind, no matter the cost! As long as we can cure your illness, no amount of money is too much," Xu Xiaohong comforted the principal. She knew that what the principal truly cared about wasn't the money but felt that there was no need for all this trouble: "And rest assured, I've already asked Ah-Yu.

He said that with a surgery to remove the tumor, your illness can be cured without any issues."

"Ah, I really have to thank student Chen Yu this time. Who could have imagined that in my old age, I would still be troubling my own student!" The principal said with a helpless smile and shook his head.

Hearing the principal say this, Xu Xiaohong quickly comforted him, "Principal, what are you talking about? You should be happy that a student you taught is able to cure your illness, how can you call that trouble! Moreover, this is hands-on teaching, giving Ah-Yu the opportunity to demonstrate his skills. It is he who should be thanking you!

I've heard from Ah-Yu that your condition is enough for him to write a world-first case report and paper!"

I'm already in my eighties, my body's regenerative abilities aren't what they used to be. Have you taken this into account?"

"Of course, I have considered this very point. Just using the traditional portal vein embolization might not guarantee that the liver regeneration will meet surgical requirements in the short term.

Therefore, I've chosen to ligate the portal vein, separating the right liver lobe while preserving the Right Hepatic Vein and Right Hepatic Artery," Chen Yu responded to the principal's question as if he was answering in a classroom, though he was no longer the principal's student, but rather his chief physician.

Upon hearing Chen Yu's explanation, the principal understood the method being used and nodded in agreement, "Using the inflammatory response following liver segmentation to promote the regeneration of the left liver lobe is a very good idea. If it goes as you plan, the left liver lobe should be able to grow large enough in one week to meet the needs for the second surgery, am I correct?"

"The Principal is truly wise, never losing your sharpness!" praised Chen Yu. He then gestured to a nearby nurse, motioning her to come forward, and explained to the principal, "Due to Japanese hospital rules, family members are not allowed to stay with patients beyond visiting hours. As this is a VIP room, it comes with a dedicated nurse, which in this case is Miss Yousen.

She is the exclusive nurse for this room, and you can communicate your needs directly to her, as she understands Chinese."

"Hello, I am Yousen Yangna, the exclusive nurse for this room. Please take good care of me," the nurse greeted the principal in Chinese with a slight bow after Chen Yu finished the introduction.

"I appreciate your assistance, Miss Yousen," said the principal, still somewhat unaccustomed to the Japanese etiquette and politeness.

"Principal, please rest well. I have other patients to attend to, so I'll take my leave now," said Chen Yu before exiting the room.

"Ah-Yu!" Just as Chen Yu had barely stepped out of the room, Xu Xiaohong hurried after him: "Ah-Yu, when is the principal's surgery scheduled? You've only talked about the surgical plan but not the timing. I'd like to confirm that with you."

"If the tests show no issues, the surgery is scheduled for five days from now. Although VIP patients can usually get an earlier date, if the operating room isn't available, I'm not able to move it up any further," Chen Yu said with an apologetic expression, explaining to his Third Aunt before heading to the next patient room.
