Chapter 1438: Chapter 1073: Unexpected, That Works!_3 Chapter 1438: Chapter 1073: Unexpected, That Works!_3 He didn’t really have anything to do at the Surgical Research Institute, just sitting in the doctors’ office playing around. If a doctor had free time, he would chat with them; if not, he didn’t mind. He’d just take a chair and sit in a corner, or stand in front of the human skeleton model lost in thought. He never stayed too long, around half an hour, so he wouldn’t cause any trouble for everyone.

This time, Hermes was holding a tape measure, sizing up the human skeleton model in the doctors’ office, observing it from various angles, sometimes frowning, sometimes nodding, sometimes stroking his chin. He was also taking photos with his phone from different angles and jotting down notes every now and then. The doctors had no idea what he was up to.

Yang Ping came out of the ward and saw Hermes staring at the human skeleton model while holding a tape measure and couldn’t help asking, “Old Wang, are you planning to switch careers and study medicine?”

“Oh, Professor Yang, you’re back,” Hermes smiled. “I was thinking, can we make a 1.8-meter tall golden skeleton? It would look majestic in your doctors’ office. The Surgical Research Institute is a world-class medical research base after all, and it should have a few things that show off its grandeur, right? I figured, making a golden skeleton wouldn’t use too much gold. The only thing I was pondering was, pure gold is a bit soft, but anything else just wouldn’t look classy. Oh, and replace all those bronze plaques at your front entrance with gold ones, that would be really majestic.” Hermes said with such seriousness it didn’t sound like he was joking at all. In fact, when Hermes talked about gold, you really shouldn’t think he was joking or boasting–he was absolutely serious about gold.

“You were standing there earlier just mulling over this?” Yang Ping was rather stunned. Truly professional, carrying the thought of gold wherever he went.

Hermes stroked his chin, “Professor, just give me the nod, and I’ll get to work on it. I’ll make the skeleton 1.8 meters tall, and I’ll enlarge the entrance plaques a bit over their original size too.”

“Are you sure if we hang up pure gold plaques at our entrance, they’ll still be there the next day?” Yang Ping asked a serious question.

“That’s true, if we hang up dozens of pure gold plaques at the entrance, it will be a problem if people get wind of it. Thieves might steal them overnight; this indeed poses a challenge.” Hermes reflected for a moment.

“If you erect a golden skeleton here, would we have to assign a few security guards to take turns watching over it?” Yang Ping posed another serious question.

Hermes touched his chin again, “Right, we could also put together a security team to take turns guarding the entrance plaques. Doesn’t that solve the problem?”

Yang Ping was speechless at this point. Just then, a urology doctor came in for a consultation and immediately recognized Hermes: “President Wang?”

“Yes, you are?” Hermes couldn’t remember at the moment.

“You remember me, I’m from urology. I was with Director Lu during your equipment upgrade, remember?” the urology doctor said.

Hermes immediately remembered, “President Liao?”

“Ah, I’ve been promoted to attending physician now, not a president anymore,” the urologist laughed. “Are you satisfied with your upgraded equipment? Is it still functioning well?”

“Thank you all so much, really, I greatly appreciate it. It’s extremely useful,” Hermes expressed his satisfaction.

Since they were in the doctors’ office, the urologist momentarily forgot to be discreet and blurted out, “I seem to recall that your upgrade surgery was very successful, adding 6 centimeters. You originally had normal equipment, and with such a strong enhancement, it really became an enhanced version. When I tested it last time, it seemed to be reaching 18 centimeters in working condition, I even have photos saved here for writing a paper.”

The doctors in the office immediately turned around, and one of them, a doctor familiar with Hermes, said: “Old Wang, not bad at all, impressive!”
