Two days later.

Surgery Office.

"How is your relative's arrangement going?"

Xu Man Ni asked Zhao Heng.

"Arranged for hospitalization."

Zhao Heng replied.

He didn't really want to talk much about relatives.

"Hmm, that's good. Now that you're an official doctor, many people have their eyes on you. You can't slack off in your work. Also, in the surgery department, connections are very important, and you need to manage them well."

Xu Man Ni looked at Zhao Heng and said.

She had watched Zhao Heng rise through the ranks. In the entire Eastern Hospital, young doctors like Zhao Heng, who rose so quickly, were extremely rare.

Moreover, Zhao Heng had an unblemished character and personality. More importantly, Song Chen, who had a previous ambiguous relationship with Zhao Heng, had gone abroad, so Xu Man Ni knew she had to seize the opportunity with Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng's career was just taking off, and now was the time when he needed someone to help him. Xu Man Ni was confident she could provide that support.

"Hmm."

Hearing Xu Man Ni's words, Zhao Heng nodded seriously. This was indeed an area where he was lacking.

In a place like a hospital, where human relationships were complex, having solid technical skills wasn't enough; good networking was also essential.

At present, the anesthesiology knowledge and skills he had obtained from Gao Jun were mostly assimilated by Zhao Heng.

But to truly become a leading figure, having just the level of an experienced anesthesiologist wasn't enough.

Anesthesiology was a discipline that had only developed in recent years, so there were some shortcomings in training doctors.

Take Eastern Hospital for example, anesthesiologists were still managed under the surgery department, so experienced anesthesiologists like Gao Jun were the ones carrying the load.

With the establishment of the Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine Center at Eastern Hospital, there was bound to be a need for real deputy chief physicians and even chief physicians, but at Eastern Hospital, simply having the level of skills and experience from Gao Jun wouldn't be enough to reach such heights.

In fact, while Gao Jun had solid technical skills, he wasn't truly gifted in medicine. In the future, even if Gao Jun became the head of the anesthesiology department, it might just be a transitional role.

But where could one continue to improve anesthesiology skills?

This was a question Zhao Heng had been pondering. Although Professor Huang was a person of Mount Tai status in the national field of anesthesiology, his contributions were mostly foundational.

Although his knowledge level was top-tier, at the international level, there were still many advanced methods and techniques that remained unexplored.

"What do you think of my skills? I mean in anesthesiology."

After some thought, Zhao Heng asked Xu Man Ni.

"Skills? While you may still lack experience, I think your professional competency is on par with Lao Gao."

Even though she didn't know why Zhao Heng asked that, Xu Man Ni thought seriously before answering.

The speed of Zhao Heng's advancement was unprecedented in Xu Man Ni's career. Because of this, her attitude towards Zhao Heng changed rapidly from initial disregard to now being fully focused on him.

"Don't think too much. Right now, the most important thing is to lay a solid foundation in anesthesiology. Look at other departments; even resident doctors with PhDs don't perform surgeries alone. Plus, the current salary in anesthesiology is no worse than those of attending physicians in surgical departments."

Perhaps understanding what Zhao Heng was thinking, Xu Man Ni advised him further.

"Hmm, you're right, sis."

Zhao Heng pondered for a moment; it made sense.

Whether professionally or in terms of status, he had risen quickly and now needed to take some time to digest it all.

Just then, a nurse from the surgery room came in, first casting an envious glance at Xu Man Ni before saying to Zhao Heng, "Dr. Zhao, the digestive surgery department wants you to come over and take a look."

In the surgery room, all the nurses envied Xu Man Ni.

Originally, everyone just envied Xu Man Ni for her family background and appearance, but now, finding a promising candidate like Zhao Heng made her the envy of all the surgery nurses.

Even though Zhao Heng and Xu Man Ni hadn't clarified their relationship, everyone in the surgery room considered them a pair.

"Alright, I'm going."

Zhao Heng nodded. In the surgery department, pre-surgery communication with the anesthesiologist about the patient was essential.

It should be known that not all patients could undergo anesthesia.

The ability to anesthetize directly impacted the ability to operate.

"Go ahead."

Xu Man Ni also nodded to Zhao Heng.

After Zhao Heng left, the nurse who had come to call him looked enviously at Xu Man Ni and said, "Sister Xu, Dr. Zhao is really great."

"Great? How do you know he's great?"

Xu Man Ni retorted dismissively.

She had noticed the way the nurse looked at Zhao Heng just now.

She knew these nurses too well; they wouldn't make a move unless they were sure of the outcome. They usually played coy, but once they found someone good or suitable, they would pounce.

"...Sis, everyone can see how great Dr. Zhao is."

Recoiling from Xu Man Ni's remark, the nurse replied sheepishly.

Having established herself in the surgery room for a long time, Xu Man Ni was a figure everyone wanted to please. Besides, it was rumored that the current head nurse was looking to retire to another department, making Xu Man Ni the most likely successor as the head nurse of the surgery room.

It's well known that the authority of a head nurse in the surgery room is far more significant than in any other department.

In the surgery room, not just the head nurse, even some seasoned instrument and circulating nurses dared to confront doctors.

"Keep your eyes on your own work."

Seeing the nurse's awkward expression, Xu Man Ni said indifferently.

"Okay... hmm."

The nurse replied, somewhat embarrassed.

This was a classic case of flattery going awry. She meant to praise Zhao Heng to win Xu Man Ni's favor, but it had backfired.

"Sister Xu, I heard there's a new women's SPA opened in the city. How about we go together this weekend?"

The nurse quickly adjusted her attempt at flattery and warmly suggested.

Surgery room nurses were well-paid. At Eastern Hospital, more experienced surgery room nurses could earn over 100,000 yuan a year.

Moreover, surgery room nurses were inherently busy and spent most of their time working, saving more money.

Women naturally spent their money on maintaining themselves.

"We'll see."

Xu Man Ni replied in her usual calm tone.

She received several such invites from colleagues daily, and she was well aware of their ulterior motives.

But seeing through it without exposing it was a tacit understanding in interpersonal relations and workplace dynamics.
