Chapter 1411: Wang Chao’s "Preoperative Preparation

“That’s impressive, I thought we’d need a bit more time to finish.”

When Liu Banxia returned to the emergency center, Wang Chao came over.

“Seeing the expression on your face, it looks like there’s good news,” Liu Banxia said.

“Hehe, there’s a patient with a lump on the liver. We’ve decided to do surgery, how does the day after tomorrow sound?” Wang Chao asked.

“Sure, when the time comes, perform well and aim to complete it all at once,” Liu Banxia replied.

“I won’t say much else, but you’ve participated quite a lot, the only thing you’re lacking is this final step. You have to work hard, I’m rooting for you. How about we add an extra dish tomorrow?”

Listening to his words, Wang Chao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

The encouragement at the beginning felt perfunctory, but the suggestion of adding an extra dish seemed serious.

“Today’s achievements are quite good too. I’ll rest a bit and it’ll be time to clock off,” Liu Banxia stretched lazily.

“You’re really carefree, I’ll show you the patient’s data later. Then I’ll chat with you about the surgery, you help me keep an eye on things,” Wang Chao said.

Liu Banxia nodded, “Sure, want me to give Officer Ma a call? Have her come over the day after tomorrow too, it’s a genuinely happy occasion.”

“No way, please don’t, I’m not sure about it,” Wang Chao quickly said.

“No sense of adventure, I’ll drink some tea first, I’ve been sweating quite a bit,” Liu Banxia muttered.

Wang Chao pretended not to hear, this is not something to show off about.

Liu Banxia hadn’t even finished his tea when Chen Hongyang walked over with a smile.

“What’s up, can’t wait?” Liu Banxia asked with a smile.

“Not bad, really not bad, now I can truly rest assured. Who knew fulfilling dreams could be that simple,” Chen Hongyang teased.

“The difficulty level of these two surgeries isn’t particularly high yet, there are still many related congenital diseases. We must continue working hard and strive to do even better,” Liu Banxia said.

“If you’ve got the capability, go and persuade those at the medical school ahead of time. After all, your connections there are much stronger than mine; it’s not enough just relying on me,”

Chen Hongyang nodded, “I will work hard at that. But for now, we’ve truly achieved a breakthrough from scratch, that’s better than anything.”

“In the past, I only had average admiration for you, but now I really admire you. Doing surgery for adults isn’t true skill; being able to help children and newborns with surgery, that’s true skill.”

“Just now, I had a chat with Sister Huang, she feels confident now. Otherwise, when a problem was found during prenatal exams, the case would be transferred directly to the third hospital. Now it’s no longer necessary, we have the confidence.”

“When I came back, Sister Huang was still observing this little child. Our PICU has been somewhat underwhelming. But it’s okay, give me two months, I will make sure to tidy things up properly.”

“Hehe, shall we argue again when the time comes?” Liu Banxia asked with a grin.

Chen Hongyang rolled his eyes, “Honestly, your temper now is much better than before, back then it was really a mess.”

“Sigh…, back then it was a bit about not caring. I thought as a barefoot person, why should I care about you folks wearing shoes,” Liu Banxia sighed.

“Looking back now, regardless of the situation or conflict, it’s never solely one person’s responsibility. Back then, I did act like a mess somewhat. But not anymore, I’ve grown, and it’s significant growth.”

Even though they jokingly mentioned it, both intended to completely dissolve the minor rift between them.

At the time, Liu Banxia’s actions did leave Chen Hongyang in a difficult position. Even though they’ve been getting along well recently, nobody deliberately brought it up.

Now they’ve tightly collaborated, with Chen Hongyang managing all pediatric matters. In the future when newborns need surgery, it’ll be up to Liu Banxia to take charge.

If they want to strengthen pediatrics, they need Liu Banxia to train more pediatric surgery talents.

Anyway, he never imagined that Liu Banxia would become an asset to his career.

“Hey, do you know how Old Qin has been doing recently? If you see him, pass along a message: it was me being a bit naive back then,” Liu Banxia said.

“I visited him during the New Year, and he did bring you up,” Chen Hongyang said.

“He still feels grateful to you; if you hadn’t helped back then, he wouldn’t be enjoying a comfortable life now. Even though he lost some money, his reputation was saved.”

“Not to mention, you’ve been supportive of Qi’s work. Thinking of everything from the past, there’s a bit of an unpleasant feeling. What lingers more is regret, he nearly affected your growth.”

“Haha, I guess I benefited from misfortune too. Considering the situations back then, it was all just normal unspoken rules,” Liu Banxia said with a laugh.

“What’s done is done, whether we become friends or not, he’s still my senior. Alright, I’m done resting, I still need to go home and see my two big treasures.”

Chen Hongyang nodded with a smile, saying he’ll pass the message when he gets the chance.

They’re all sincere words from the heart; unspoken rules are present in every field.

Generally speaking, was what Qin Hai did back then excessive? It was indeed excessive, but such things are always happening.

It just happened that they encountered Liu Banxia, a troublemaker, which made it difficult to settle. Liu Banxia was also so promising, soaring high once given the opportunity.

Now, under Zhou Shuwen’s leadership and with the assistance of Liu Banxia and Chen Xuehai, such unwritten rules don’t occur as often here at the emergency center.

But to say there’s not a bit of it is impossible, after all, it’s people doing things, and people have emotions. Relationships still matter; even if you aim for fairness in thought, when it comes to actual handling, things can go astray.

Take Liu Banxia’s six underlings; he pays a bit more attention to Xu Yino and Liu Yiqing.

Of course, these unwritten rules are not the same as the ones understood as prejudices. It’s just that these two girls are slightly special cases; they’re Qiaoqiao’s friends too.

Liu Banxia, all set, couldn’t wait to rush home. Of course, before leaving, he contributed his meal card.

“Xu Yino, Liu Yiqing, come here, help me with some advice,” Wang Chao beckoned to the two girls who were contemplating what to eat for dinner.

“What’s up? Are you planning to give Officer Ma a gift? Flowers might be the best choice. Even if he says he doesn’t like it, a big bouquet will certainly make him happy,” Xu Yino said.

“Ah no, it’s not about giving flowers. The big boss will be supervising my surgery the day after tomorrow; is there anything I need to prepare for?” Wang Chao asked.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yino got excited and glanced around; with no patients at the moment, she called out, “Brothers, gather around, we have something important to discuss.”

“Oh my dear, could you please keep it down a little?” Wang Chao said helplessly.

“This is a big deal, truly significant. I’m afraid our brains might not be sufficient; we need them here to brainstorm,” Xu Yino replied.

Wang Chao thought she had a point.

The six underlings had been battling the big boss every day but never prevailed. Having more people means more preparation.

“Everyone can express their own thoughts; this is really how it is. The big boss loves to torment people; though we are peers, I’m still afraid of him, to be honest,” Wang Chao said.

“Teacher Wang, if you ask me, you should just let go of the burden and go up there with no expectations,” Li Hao suggested.

“Because truthfully, no matter how thoroughly you prepare, it’s hard to withstand the big boss’s torment. You’d have to prepare far too much, all the knowledge about general surgery procedures is required.

“That’s true, you never know what he might ask about, or how he might mess with you,” Liu Yiqing nodded in agreement.

“But at least we can make some predictions in terms of a general direction, right?” Wang Chao asked hopefully.

“In this aspect, we can consider it, but most of it will be like gambling on a lottery,” Huang Bo said.

“This surgery needs to be thoroughly understood; that’s fundamental. If it were us, we’d definitely use NOSES surgery to mess around. But for you, it’s hard to say,”

“Teacher Wang, we’re actually accustomed to being mocked by Teacher Liu. We don’t feel much about it anymore; we approach each surgery with a calm mind and aim to succeed,” Su Wenhao commented.

“You guys need to help me think about this, or else why did I call you over?” Wang Chao said with a wry smile.

“With such an unpredictable big boss, it’s really hard to assess,” Miao Rui remarked.

“Anyway, today Nuonuo and I fell into a pit. He’s anti-human, never playing by the rules. Maybe he’ll just stand there and watch, not utter a word, and wait till you finish everything, then crush you.”

“That situation can’t be ruled out; it seems our assessments follow this pattern now,” Xu Yino commented.

“But I think Teacher Wang has been an inpatient supervisor for quite some time; his emergency response skills should be pretty good. While he hasn’t been tormented on the operating table by the big boss, it should be fine,” Liu Yiqing replied.

“I understand now; you’re suggesting I grasp all aspects of this surgery and leave the rest to fate. Is that right?” Wang Chao asked.

The six underlings nodded simultaneously.

“You’ve already reached this state now?” Wang Chao asked curiously.

The six underlings still nodded in unison.

“You see, ever since starting the internship, only the first month was pleasant; the rest was either torment or on the path to it,” Li Hao said with a bitter smile.

“Anyway, now, when I go home, I’m not even afraid of my mom anymore. Compared to the big boss, it’s still a few magnitudes apart. I think it’s quite nice; at least we’ve gained something.”

“Agreed, agreed, now I realize I’ve become so strong. Issues like urging for marriage aren’t a problem at all,” Miao Rui added.

“I heard the next phase the big boss might be helping us solve personal issues; I’m actually kind of looking forward to it,” Xu Yino said with a smile.

“So, would you really need to find a police officer to be a boyfriend?” Liu Yiqing asked, wrinkling her nose.

“Not necessarily; according to the teacher’s wife, there’ll be selections from other industries too. IT industry, construction industry, anyway, Teacher Liu has many friends,” Xu Yino replied.

Listening to their chatter, Wang Chao felt quite distressed.

Talk is cheap, it’s all useless.
