"What do you want to eat? Just order whatever, and I’ll get the Chief Director to reimburse it."

Following everyone to the cafeteria, Liu Banxia said.

"Hehe, Teacher Liu, I heard that, so I won’t hold back. I must eat well today, some delicious food." Liu Yiqing said with a smile.

"No problem at all, have a good meal, we still have to work in the afternoon." Liu Banxia said.

"Didn’t hear of any major accidents today, why are you guys coming so late?" Zhou Qiang asked.

"A surgery was added temporarily, so it delayed the time." Liu Banxia said.

"But it wasn’t easy, Director Liu set a new record for his own surgeries." Li Zhiwei said.

"Wow, that’s good news! Send a plate of sweet and sour pork." Zhou Qiang said.

"Wow, Manager Zhou, do you have to be so generous? Actually, I was just about to order that." Liu Yiqing said with a laugh.

"See, I know you’re going to perform NOSES surgery tomorrow too. No questions asked, whatever dishes you want for lunch, tell Brother Zhou, it must be arranged." Zhou Qiang said.

"Impressive, you’ve got such news?" Liu Banxia asked.

"It’s essential, Xu Yino mentioned it during lunch. It’s remarkable, don’t mind that I can’t treat illnesses, but I know NOSES is quite awesome." Zhou Qiang said.

"After all, I work in the medical field too, being influenced by you guys every day, I’m not clueless. I understand quite a bit, Dr. Liu, keep it up."

"Manager Zhou, thanks for your good words, I must keep it up." Liu Yiqing said happily.

In her heart, she was genuinely delighted; Zhou Qiang’s encouragement was truly precious to her.

Even if Zhou Qiang was merely being polite, it was very meaningful to her.

Her happiness was mainly shared with Xu Yino, and if she had the chance, she could share with Qiaoqiao. Beyond that, there was not much else.

Because her current reality is like this; if she encounters difficulties, she could seek help from Liu Banxia, her informal mentor. But now, she’s focused solely on medical skills, without any other issues.

Everyone chatted happily for a bit but didn’t order any dishes, just let Zhou Qiang arrange it.

Sometimes, the dishes Zhou Qiang arranges match everyone’s taste better. If they choose themselves, they often face decision fatigue.

While they were eating, Chen Zhenxing wandered over.

"Chief Director, have you eaten?" Liu Banxia quickly asked.

"Already ate, you guys always surprise me. Thought you’d take longer with the surgery, but it was done so quickly." Chen Zhenxing said with a smile.

"Added surgery, can’t keep Director Chen waiting too long. Besides, this might even delay his leaving work tonight." Liu Banxia said.

"So, you need to work even harder. Perform surgeries faster while ensuring teaching quality so we can make the best use of our resources." Chen Zhenxing nodded.

"Heard from Xuehai, my old friend’s daughter felt wronged by you guys. This is not good, very bad. I forgot to consider this, hence didn’t return promptly."

"Chief Director, it’s actually not a big deal. Been in this field long enough, seen all kinds of patients’ families. How about you help settle the meal bill later?" Liu Banxia asked jokingly.

"You always have my meal card in mind. Manager Zhou, put it on my tab for now, I’ll settle with my card later." Chen Zhenxing said.

"Alright." Zhou Qiang replied with a smile.

"Chief Director, doesn’t this count as treating patients’ relatives?" Liu Banxia added.

"Get out of here, so annoying. I’ll check the ward again." Chen Zhenxing said helplessly.

Throughout the second hospital, only this guy keeps thinking about free meals. Can’t he propose something constructive? It’s frustrating.

Though he’s pleased, this surgery was just like drinking water or eating for Liu Banxia, he handled it directly. Which was unexpected, thought it would be done tomorrow.

Such execution capability, he’s genuinely happy.

After getting full, Liu Banxia and the others leisurely walked back to the emergency center.

"Su Wenhao, come over, we’re at the moment to decide your fate." Xu Yino beckoned.

"Haha, I have to witness it, either way, I’m resigned to my fate." Liu Yiqing said cheerfully.

With this bunch being so cheeky, Liu Banxia felt helpless.

Let them be, this is a way to relax. Getting on to NOSES so quickly, the pressure is indeed quite high for them.

"Oh... they have buddies to help relieve stress. What about me? Just all by myself." Wang Chao came over.

"I’m here with you, aren’t I? Don’t be scared." Liu Banxia said.

Wang Chao rolled his eyes, "Isn’t this like coaxing a child?"

"Just work hard. In one’s life, there’s always a time when you need to strive yourself," Liu Banxia said.

"That’s true, but I just feel like I’m being too hard on myself, it’s frustrating," Wang Chao said with a frown.

"Why not just give the opportunity to the Six Little Ones next time?" Liu Banxia asked with a smile.

"No way, absolutely not. Anyway, I’ve already informed Doctor Xu and Doctor Wang, if their internal department gets a liver disease patient, they need to call me first," Wang Chao said.

"Then give it your all. Worst case, if you can’t handle it, I’ll help you finish up. Anyway, I’ve come to terms with it; whether I face it or not, it’s just one knife either way. That’s just how it is."

"See, you’ve figured it out pretty well. You play around for a while on your own; the family of that VIP patient is here today," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

Wang Chao nodded and slipped away to the side.

"Director Liu, I’m really sorry about my sister’s attitude today," the patient’s son said.

"Don’t overthink it; everyone is just worried about the old man’s condition. If there were no illness, who would want to come to the hospital?" Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"The surgery went smoothly, and from what we observed during the surgery, there doesn’t seem to be any metastasis inside the intestines. There are no incisions, so there’s nothing visible on the outside, which is also better for the old man’s mental state."

"Yes, we heard that this could be done here, so we came to Uncle Chen," the patient’s son said.

"After my dad retired, he stayed in the countryside. In recent years, he’s been a bit lax with check-ups. Luckily, he’s vigilant enough himself, otherwise things could have gotten worse."

"Exactly, if the condition had advanced in that location, it would really be hard to preserve the anus. I don’t know if you understand the scans, but it’s about one centimeter from the anus. If it were any closer, I wouldn’t be so confident."

The patient’s son nodded, "We were terrified after the check-ups, but the old man was calmer than any of us. Director Liu, I must apologize again, thinking back on my sister’s temperament, I get quite a headache."

"It’s really not an issue; he must have been uncomfortable at the time, or I wouldn’t have spoken that way. Once it’s said, let’s move on. The old man’s health is nothing to worry about," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"Tomorrow morning, he can get out of bed and walk a bit, but not for too long. Take it slow; according to our records, everything should be fine in six or seven days."

"From what I’ve seen, the old man’s body is still quite good, and he must usually do some exercise. There’s no need to worry too much, removing part of the rectum won’t significantly affect anal function."

"There might be some initial issues, but with some Kegel exercises, recovery should be possible. It’s also a normal phenomenon, so don’t worry if you notice it."

"Okay, thank you, Director Liu, we won’t disturb you further," the patient’s son said.

"You’re welcome," Liu Banxia said, nodding his head with a smile.

The patient’s son had a good attitude the whole time, and he couldn’t just keep being confrontational. Any slight unpleasantness was over after the surgery was done.

Just like what he said, he was really angry at the time. But now that it’s over, it’s just whatever. There wasn’t much interaction before anyway, so it’s all in the past now.

"Teacher Liu, I’m going to do the second surgery tomorrow," Huang Bo walked over, looking determined.

"Congratulations, I heard they’re going to arrange a dinner for you; that’s quite fitting," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"I just feel a bit nervous," Huang Bo said with a worried expression.

"Young man, there’s no other way; you have to bear it yourself. Wow, Wang Chao’s pretty lucky, is there really a liver disease patient?" Liu Banxia asked, surprised.

Huang Bo followed Liu Banxia’s gaze to see Wang Chao waving at Liu Banxia from the entrance of the internal medicine clinic.

"Ah... Teacher Wang doesn’t have it easy either," Huang Bo said, sighing.

His words amused Liu Banxia, "Studying medicine is no easy feat. It’s okay to be nervous now, but you can’t be nervous tomorrow when you’re on stage. Liu Yiqing plans to do it all in one go, and I don’t even know if she can succeed."

"Teacher Liu, don’t worry, I’ll work hard," Huang Bo said, nodding firmly.

Liu Banxia let him be and went straight to the internal medicine clinic.

"A patient has symptoms of jaundice, and a slightly high temperature. On hand examination, the spleen is somewhat enlarged, with swollen submandibular lymph nodes, but there’s no tenderness or abdominal pain," Wang Chao said.

"Isn’t that just coincidental? This really might be a matching disease; are the examination results out yet?" Liu Banxia asked.

"Not yet, we just finished the initial examination, took some blood, and we’ll see what it looks like later. We’ve also arranged for a CT to look at the liver," Wang Huan said.

"Wang Chao said if he needs to perform surgery, he’d personally manage it? That’s also quite significant. Are we aiming for consecutive breakthroughs at our emergency center or what?"

"Pretty much, why should I be the only fool working hard? Everyone should have some load," Liu Banxia said.

"I’m forced into it," Wang Chao said.

"Even if you’re forced, you still have to set a small goal for yourself," Liu Banxia said.

"Later, even the big boss Shi has to oversee the first department, thoracic surgery and orthopedics can ease up a bit. But once new people come, there won’t be many good days left."

Wang Chao felt a bit helpless, guessing that even after stepping down from being the inpatient manager, he’d still be really busy.
