"Banxia, well done! Today’s speech was very unique and successful. Shi Lei also did well, who knew he had such skills."

After the speech ended, Zhou Zhiyong said with a smile.

"Principal Zhou, I just say what comes to mind. This was done according to your request." Liu Banxia said.

"That’s right, no matter the profession, you shouldn’t only see the glamorous side; you also need to be aware of the unique aspects of the job." Zhou Zhiyong said.

"The earlier these kids understand this, the sooner they can set their own goals. Let’s go to the cafeteria, we need to have a good meal."

"Haha, I won’t be polite, and I can eat a lot. I must say, the food at the medical school is quite distinctive." Liu Banxia said.

"Teacher Shi, how are you so amazing?" Xu Yino leaned next to Shi Lei.

"I can’t compete with you guys, just say what you want directly." Shi Lei said helplessly.

"Hahaha, do you have any martial arts secrets left? Share some with us." Xu Yino said with a grin.

"Do you think with Banxia’s personality, he would leave me any?" Shi Lei retorted.

Everyone laughed; there wouldn’t be any leftovers unless Shi Lei hid them away.

"I’ll bring them out later for you guys to circulate privately, just don’t let others learn them all." Liu Banxia said.

"Many surgeries have his insights, you don’t have to accept them all, as everyone has their own style. But you can absorb the essence, as they’re all part of his accumulated experience."

Actually, today Liu Banxia didn’t fully tell the truth in his revelation.

In the past, he used to go to Shi Lei more for the free food and to build connections.

Without resources or connections, how else could you learn things? You just have to shamelessly latch on. Fortunately, Shi Lei had a good temperament, so they eventually got to know each other well.

What really made Liu Banxia take Shi Lei seriously was when he received the "Chrysanthemum Secret Manual" from him, and only then did he realize how deeply Shi Lei had hidden his skills, truly remarkable.

Then he slowly but surely emptied Shi Lei’s private stash like an ant moving its nest.

Early on, his Glory Points were spent on surgical training and reading these books. Although reading in the dream space felt like a bit of a waste, it helped him save time.

There was a slight mistake in sequence, but it didn’t affect the overall results. Only he knows what really went on, even Shi Lei, the person involved, doesn’t know.

At the cafeteria, ordering was naturally the responsibility of Zhou Zhiyong, the one treating and the highest-ranked there.

"In my opinion, we should invite more doctors working on the front lines to come to our school and speak to the students." Director Xia said.

"Today’s students are different from before, changing every year. Management is becoming increasingly difficult, and sometimes I feel like I’m falling behind the times."

"Director Xia, I think that’s normal. Information is so advanced now, kids are exposed to so much information from a young age." Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"Honestly, even my family is a bit worried now about how to raise a child when they are born. I mean, my wife’s family is quite well-off, but having money doesn’t mean you shouldn’t cultivate your kids."

"It’s easy to learn bad habits but hard to learn good ones. Spending money is quick, and squandering doesn’t need to be taught. There’s a lot of pressure on children’s education; coming home, I still have to appease my wife. I should worry, not both of us."

"You’re overthinking it. Proper guidance is enough, you can spoil but not spoil too much." Zhou Zhiyong said with a smile.

"The other day, when I was dining with Shu Wen, he was talking about how he feels very reassured now. With you all in the emergency center, it can be fully supported."

"He hasn’t given you detailed surgery guidance, and you brothers have been in a free-range state. And hasn’t everything turned out well? Whether it’s you two by his side or those in other cities, everyone is doing great."

"We can grasp the basics in the classroom. For advanced techniques, we need to explore them ourselves on the job."

"Exploring doesn’t mean blundering around like a headless fly because during the exploration, you find your shortcomings, and then you can study that area."

"The master leads the way, but cultivation depends on the individual. It’s the same in all industries, waiting for others to teach you everything won’t work. A teacher’s role is more of a guide."

"Just like your future children, parents are the first teachers. If you give them the right guidance when they are young, those children usually turn out well."

"As for the six of them, I doubt you taught them hand-in-hand every time, right? That would be time-consuming and labor-intensive without good results."

Liu Banxia nodded, "They’re growing quite freely, and their current achievements are beyond my expectations."

"Hehe, if it weren’t for doing so many liver surgeries with Teacher Liu, and personally getting involved in some of them, I wouldn’t have believed I could pull it off," Xu Yino said.

"That’s absolutely right. We even talked about it among ourselves. The conclusion is that the main reason we succeeded was because Teacher Liu gave us so many opportunities during surgeries," Su Wenhao chimed in.

"Look at that, they’re praising me again," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"So, it comes back to the question Director Xia raised earlier. Today’s kids are indeed not easy to manage, each with a distinct personality."

"Although I’m not a formal teacher now, I help the director with some educational training at the hospital. These new interns and resident doctors have been here for a while, and they’ve already shown different levels of performance."

"Those who love to learn, those willing to learn, and those who just muddle through—the differences are very clear. Sometimes, I don’t even know how to guide these kids. Such a valuable learning opportunity, and if they don’t seize it, where will they find time in the future?"

"When I perform operations, I dare to give them more involvement because I know they have the skills to handle it. They were carefully selected by the Chief Director to be nurtured as pillars of the emergency center."

"Honestly, in our profession, especially as surgeons, what’s worrying is those who want to learn but hate hardships—the ones who don’t want to learn at all are hopeless; they’ve truly wasted away."

"You’ve hit the nail on the head," Zhou Zhiyong nodded.

"For children who can get into medical school, intelligence is not a problem. Even if some have weaker practical skills, they can switch from surgery to internal medicine."

"However, we still weed out some graduates every year. Among those who smoothly transition to work, some will also be eliminated. The proportion of people who can grow to your level is very small."

"Some of it is due to objective reasons. The current situation in hospitals is like this—the competition pressure is huge. Not just in hospitals, isn’t it like this in all industries?"

"I don’t believe any top-tier company recruits without first looking internally. Only for high-level executives would they seek help from headhunters."

"And the more economically developed a city is, the fiercer the competition becomes. Banxia’s right: working is for making money. It’s a very real and direct reason."

"Alright, the dishes are here. You three don’t be shy; there are no outsiders at this table. I actually want to visit the hospital, but the work isn’t sorted out yet—way too busy."

"Principal Zhou, these three don’t even know what it means to be reserved. Last time Chief Director Chen treated us to dinner, and boy, they enjoyed it more than I did," Liu Banxia joked.

"In this regard, we’ve inherited it from Teacher Liu," Xu Yino said seriously.

Liu Banxia felt a bit helpless and thought about getting back at the girl at some point.

"Director Liu, how are the students from our medical school doing at Hospital No. 2?" Director Xia inquired.

"Their overall performance is alright, but as I just mentioned, some students aren’t hard enough on themselves," Liu Banxia replied.

"Director Xia, to put it this way, if those few don’t adjust their attitudes and study properly in time, within just a few years, they’ll be surpassed by the resident doctors from our hospital."

"Don’t think just because resident doctors are undergraduates and have less schooling time, their standards during training are the same."

"Especially now, as we’re focusing on basic skills training, the gap between active learning and passive feeding becomes very clear. This isn’t because I come from an undergraduate background; it’s just a clear observation."

"Sigh... it’s still a matter of mindset not having shifted," Director Xia sighed.

"Some kids think getting into med school is the end goal, and others feel that a combined bachelor’s-master’s degree gives them an edge."

"There is an advantage, but it’s not as significant as they think. Medical students, aren’t they all more or less the same? Many just go through the motions during their internship phase in grad school."

"We still need to work together to ensure these kids have a proper attitude, so they don’t end up with regrets in the future."

"Don’t worry, Director Xia, consider this an experience exchange. Over at our place, whether you want to learn or not, you have to learn what you should," Liu Banxia said.

"Even if jobs are secure in the future and they want to slack off, it’s not going to be that easy. Back when Principal Zhou was in the hospital, the educational training plans were pretty good. But honestly, Principal Zhou was too softhearted, while I’m quite tough."

"Hey, kid, no need to praise me. Back then, we just followed the standards when creating those," Zhou Zhiyong remarked.

The current standards are definitely much higher than the ones back then, which he oversaw. In truth, it was more about making a big spectacle.

Liu Banxia hesitated, but he didn’t care.
