Two days later.

3 PM.

North City High-speed Rail Station entrance.

Zhao Heng and Xu Man Ni stood side by side at the plaza at the high-speed rail station entrance, and there were ten minutes left until the train from their hometown arrived.

"Sis, actually, I can come to pick them up by myself."

Zhao Heng looked at Xu Man Ni standing next to him and said.

In the past two days, Xu Man Ni had arranged the matters concerning the guesthouse, so now, Zhao Heng just needed to pick them up and go straight to the guesthouse.

The guesthouse Xu Man Ni found was not far from the high-speed rail station, just need to find two cars, and they'll get there quickly.

"Being idle is also idle, it's nothing."

Xu Man Ni smiled and said.

She naturally wasn't idle and bored to accompany Zhao Heng; her main purpose was to meet Zhao Heng's parents and leave a good impression on the elders.

It could be said, Xu Man Ni was already comprehensively planning for the future life.

Zhao Heng felt a bit touched; Xu Man Ni really was unbelievably supportive to him.

"Uncle and Auntie haven't been to North City, right? You can take them around for a good tour in these two days."

Xu Man Ni suggested again.

Actually, during this period, Xu Man Ni's bestie, who was an instrument nurse in the operating room, had told her that if she chose Zhao Heng, there would be times when a whole bunch of relatives from the countryside comes seeking help.

However, Xu Man Ni didn't care about these things; thinking in others' shoes, if she came from a small place and settled down in North City, she would also occasionally have relatives seeking assistance.

What's wrong with a small place?

People like Zhao Heng still emerged from there.

Zhao Heng himself didn't care about these things either; his annoyance was only that he was unaccustomed to managing care for more than a dozen people, finding it a bit troublesome and strenuous.

"Hmm."

Zhao Heng nodded, thinking that his parents had worked hard for their whole lives, and now that conditions had improved, they should enjoy themselves properly.

Now that they had been allocated an apartment, his parents would have a place to stay, and Zhao Heng even thought he could persuade his parents to stay in North City to live together as a family.

His parents are great parents; he's also a great son.

It's just these relatives… hard to put it into words.

"By the way, have you got in touch with the orthopedics department?"

Xu Man Ni asked again.

"Yes, I've spoken with Bai Ming. Just like you said, Bai Ming wasn't impatient at all; in fact, he was quite pleased."

Zhao Heng once again felt that Xu Man Ni was much more adept at dealing with people than he was.

"He's happy because you owe him a favor; in the future, he'll find it easier to schedule anesthesia."

Xu Man Ni replied, unsurprised.

The hospital is also a micro-society where human interactions and relationships are everywhere.

In Xu Man Ni's view, Zhao Heng still didn't realize his own worth.

On the surface, Zhao Heng might just be an anesthesiologist, but his network and connections were already more formidable than many veteran doctors.

Speaking of arranging an orthopedic surgery, if Zhao Heng were not in the department of anesthesiology closely connected to surgery, combined with his high proficiency gaining everyone's approval, and having support from someone like Gao Jun, even a senior attending physician might not secure that bed.

Medical resources are very scarce now, especially in a high-end medical institution like Eastern Hospital.

"So, is this considered mutual benefit?"

Zhao Heng said thoughtfully.

"That's basically it; without any benefit, why would others treat you kindly and prepare a bed for your relatives?"

Xu Man Ni nodded and said.

In an adult world, it's all about interest and calculating, and naïve individuals don't last long.

Building a network is actually simple; as long as you have enough core value, a network will naturally form around you.

Trying to ingratiate oneself with others hoping for scraps is not networking, but begging.

"Does that mean I do have some face now?"

Zhao Heng smiled and joked.

"More than just some; when Lao Gao becomes the Director of the Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine Center, you may even find it troublesome with too many people trying to cozy up to you."

Xu Man Ni smiled back, adding.

"But that's still a long way off; the teacher is just a deputy director this time, isn't it many years before becoming a director?"

Zhao Heng asked with some doubt.

"You really underestimate the old man backing your teacher; being deputy director is merely transitional, and at most within a year, Lao Gao will take over as director."

Xu Man Ni knew much more than Zhao Heng.

"A year? Isn't that too short?"

Zhao Heng found it unbelievable, as in other departments, moving from deputy director to director without a decade or so is virtually impossible.

"Generally, yes, it would take many years, but the old man's influence is something you can't imagine. Take Eastern Hospital, which you see as prominent, but in the real administrative hierarchy, it's not significant. Turning a deputy director into a director is just a matter of the old man's word."

Xu Man Ni revealed more details.

Though Eastern Hospital appears large, it's just one unit under the City Health Bureau, while the old man was in the ministry; think about how many layers there are between the hospital and the old man.

"So it means even becoming the hospital director in the future would be easy for the teacher?"

Zhao Heng was shocked again that being born to the right parents was indeed critical.

"With the influence and capability of the old man, having his only child as a hospital director is just a usual thing, isn't it?"

Xu Man Ni stated.

Standing from different positions gives a different perspective and outlook. To the hospital staff, a director is akin to a towering mountain.

But from a higher stratum, a director is not that significant.

Moreover, having Gao Jun work on the front lines for so many years was actually a measure by the old man for grooming him.

"Turns out the teacher is such a significant figure..."

Zhao Heng murmured, initially thinking it was just an ordinary mentor but now realizing it was a towering giant.

Is this considered hitting the jackpot?

Zhao Heng couldn't help but think.

"You need not feel surprised; why do you think Lao Gao in the anesthesiology department, for so many years, particularly took a fancy to you? It's not just because of your own capabilities."

Xu Man Ni casually said.

There are many big shots in the world, but the question is whether you can latch on; if you try to latch on, why would they care about you?

"So, does this mean I'm now a connected person?"

Zhao Heng joked slightly with a smile.

"Not just connected, you've got the most significant connection there is."

Xu Man Ni smiled too and said.

Some understanding of Gao Jun's thoughts can be gathered by Xu Man Ni, who grew up with him.

After years of obscurity, there's definitely a future management path for Gao Jun.

However, in a hospital environment, solely managing without technical expertise won't work; highly skilled professionals are necessary.

Zhao Heng was the person Gao Jun chose.

Gao Jun for management, Zhao Heng for technology, complementing each other, responding from afar.
