"President Liu, you guys are damn impressive! Just like that, you handled such a difficult major surgery?"

Early the next morning, no sooner had Wang Chao arrived at work than he rushed to Liu Banxia.

"What does it have to do with me? Old Chen is the badass one. You should also work hard; the director is quite interested in the use of fecal transplantation in Auto-brewery syndrome," Liu Banxia said.

"Heh heh, really? Then I have to work hard," Wang Chao said with a smile.

"The announcement will be posted today. Congrats in advance! Aren't you going to arrange an extra meal at noon or something?" Liu Banxia also said with a smile.

"Definitely, it has to be done! Setting everything else aside, just look at our Old GrandMaster; I've never seen her so happy," Wang Chao said.

"I always thought she had reservations about me staying in the emergency center, but it seems like there's nothing to worry about now. So I have to work even harder to make our Old GrandMaster happy."

"Actually, I should have pushed for your promotion a few months ago; it would have saved me some worry," Liu Banxia said.

"I'm already very satisfied with this. I need to go change my clothes now." With that, Wang Chao ran towards the locker room.

Liu Banxia was also very happy, as it was a big day for Wang Chao. Although the work of the chief resident was harder and more tiring, the rewards were indeed much greater. Of course, the pressure also naturally became much greater.

For Wang Chao, what he actually lacked was that kind of pressure. The usual pressures he felt were mostly self-imposed, a jumble of random, unnecessary worries. Rather than let him be like that, it's better to put him under real pressure. Once he's genuinely busy, he won't have time for such distracting thoughts.

Wang Chao was his steadfast friend. The more Wang Chao excelled, the happier Liu Banxia felt. That was true friendship, free of unnecessary complications.

Before Liu Banxia had a chance to check the number of pediatric patients for the day, a young couple rushed over from the entrance.

"Dr. Liu, Dr. Liu, it's swollen again! I'm swollen again," the anxious girl said as she reached Liu Banxia.

Liu Banxia paused for a moment. "Ah, I remember. Hereditary Angioedema, right? What happened this time? There's indeed some swelling on your face, but it doesn't look too serious at the moment."

"Dr. Liu, it's different from last time; it just swelled up on its own this time. Do I need intubation?" the girl asked hurriedly.

"Does your throat feel strange in any way?" Liu Banxia asked.

The girl shook her head.

"Then you don't need intubation for now. The onset of this condition also involves a certain process and takes time. We can consider airway protection only when your facial swelling becomes severe, or if your throat starts to feel uncomfortable," Liu Banxia said.

"First, sit down over there for a bit and try to relax. Then tell me what you've been up to these past few days. Even with medication, the effects on your condition are generally average, and if it's not serious, it can also subside on its own."

"Doctor, I really haven't done anything this time. I've just been busy looking for a job these days," the girl said after sitting on the examination bed.

Her boyfriend, standing beside her, glanced at Liu Banxia with some embarrassment. After all, the trigger for the previous episode was somewhat awkward to discuss.

"Your diet has probably been irregular again recently, hasn't it? Have you been having many farewell meals with your classmates?" Liu Banxia asked.

The girl nodded. "They're classmates I've lived with for several years, after all. They don't want to stay in Binhai City, so we just hung out together for a few days."

"I told you last time, your condition is mainly related to your own immune system," Liu Banxia said.

"Eating and drinking out with classmates probably means you've been getting fewer vitamins. And alcohol, well, it's really not good for you. Once you start working, try to cut down on social drinking as much as possible."

"Another factor is likely the stress of parting with your classmates and the difficulty of finding a job you like. This has made you rather stressed and put you under a fair bit of pressure. So, all these triggers combined, and you've had another flare-up."

"Have your boyfriend go register you, and then you can stay here for observation. Try to maintain a positive mood, and eat more vegetables for lunch."

"Don't worry. You need to keep calm and try to relax. Nothing happened for so long, and now that something has, it indicates your body's resistance has weakened."

"Actually, it's a good thing in a way. At least when other people aren't feeling well, they might just muddle through and keep pushing themselves. You, on the other hand, will head straight to the hospital at the first sign of trouble, so you're less likely to overexert yourself."

"Dr. Liu, do you think future employers might reject me because of this condition?" the girl asked with a frown.

"That shouldn't happen. There are labor laws that cover such things, I believe," Liu Banxia said.

"Besides, your condition isn't that severe. As long as you maintain a balanced diet, stay in good spirits, and avoid catching colds easily, you should be fine."

In truth, Liu Banxia was just spouting comforting nonsense; this issue involved many complexities. But with the girl in her current state, if he were to directly tell her that many companies with high-intensity workloads would genuinely find it difficult to hire her... That would really do it. It was quite possible that the girl's anxiety would worsen her symptoms significantly.

"Banxia, busy?"

At that moment, Lin Chenglin, who had just walked into the waiting hall, called out.

"Brother Lin, you're here! For a check-up?" Liu Banxia asked.

"Yeah, this should be the last follow-up. Everything should be fine now. I've been feeling completely normal lately, no issues at all," Lin Chenglin said with a smile.

"Isn't your Tang Dou due soon? I've noticed during her morning walks now, she doesn't run anymore, just ambles along with Qiaoqiao."

"Exactly, it's any day now. Qiaoqiao is incredibly worried," Liu Banxia replied.

"You should go see Director Xiao first. He has many patients, and if you miss your appointment time, who knows when you'll get squeezed in for the next round."

"Alright, I'll head over then. Don't forget to call me when you have a break! We still need to have that meal; you've owed me that for ages!" Lin Chenglin said.

"Okay. I can't make promises for other things, but after July, I should have a lot more free time," Liu Banxia chuckled.

Ever since their late-night chat, they hadn't found a chance to eat together. Although he did have some time off, he'd spent it all with Qiaoqiao and Tang Dou, the two expectant mothers at home who needed his care.

"Dr. Liu, you seem very close to President Lin?" the girl's boyfriend asked curiously.

"We're quite close. We used to live in the same residential complex. Now that he and his wife have remarried, they've moved back to their old place. He occasionally brings his child back to visit his parents," Liu Banxia said.

"What a coincidence! He passed his interview at President Lin's company yesterday. He's starting work next week," the girl said cheerfully.

"I remember his company is some kind of internet business, or something like that? Are you also in the tech field?" This time, it was Liu Banxia's turn to be curious.

"I studied programming," the girl's boyfriend replied.

Liu Banxia nodded. "Work hard. When I have dinner with him sometime, I'll mention you. I'm not saying he'll give you special treatment, but at least he'll know who you are."

"Wow, thank you, Dr. Liu! This is truly a blessing in disguise, all thanks to my illness acting up again!" the girl said, overjoyed.

She had never imagined such a remarkable coincidence. It truly lifted her spirits.

"Don't worry. Although helping him find a job took some effort, he passed the interview. I can still put in a word or two for him in the future, no problem," Liu Banxia said.

"As long as you work hard, opportunities for advancement will come, whether you have connections or not. It just might come a bit later without them, but that's not a big deal. What about your job? Is it settled yet?"

The girl nodded. "I studied hotel management. I've actually been considering studying abroad, but I can't bear to leave him. Plus, with my current health, I'd be worried if something happened while I was overseas."

"Don't limit yourself so much. Who says you have to find a job in your specific field of study? At the very least, your English is solid, and that's a big advantage in the job market," Liu Banxia said.

"I'm just worried about my health. I applied to a few companies before, but I found out their overtime culture was really intense, so I didn't dare to go," the girl's mood sank.

"Nowadays, the '996' work schedule is quite common. I'm even considering starting a live stream from home; I hear you can make money that way. Otherwise, at other companies, I can't just run home while everyone else is working overtime."

"Then just work from home. I'll earn a bit less at the beginning, I suppose, but it will gradually increase," her boyfriend said.

"Alright, I can't stay around you two lovebirds any longer. Always showing off your affection like this, it's so sickeningly sweet, who can stand it?" Liu Banxia said with a laugh. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"If anything happens, call for help immediately. Most of the doctors in our emergency center are capable of intubation. But don't get alarmed over nothing. It's only necessary if the swelling on your face becomes severe and your throat feels uncomfortable."

"Thank you, Dr. Liu. Please go on with your work," the girl said.

Today's gains were already significant. Leaving a good impression on the big boss, as long as her performance wasn't subpar, could lead to promotion opportunities.

Liu Banxia didn't dwell on this matter. When Lin Chenglin hired someone, he would definitely assess if they were the right fit for the job.

At this time, the notice of Wang Chao's promotion to Chief Resident was circulated, making Wang Chao absolutely ecstatic.

"Keep up the good work. Get through this year, and you'll be all set for the future," Liu Banxia said.

"Don't worry! With me around, you'll be able to sleep soundly at night," Wang Chao said, patting his chest.

He was, however, a little lacking in confidence. "But you'll have to guide me for these first few days. I'm afraid that if I rush, I'll make a mistake in treatment. I don't mind being criticized, but I don't want to mess things up for the patients."

"Don't worry. We'll keep a close eye on critical patients and prepare contingency plans for potential complications. Just stay calm and handle things as you normally would," Liu Banxia reassured him.

He understood this feeling well, as he too had felt that same mix of excitement and nervousness when he first took on the role. Then, by slogging through it, he eventually adapted to the pressure. In hindsight, it wasn't such a big deal.
