Seeing that Zhao Heng didn't seem very interested in talking to her, Ding Minjun felt somewhat frustrated. After all, she considered herself a pretty woman; it's not like she should be ignored like this.

Furthermore, in the operating room, didn't male doctors usually like joking around with nurses?

The surgery was quickly completed successfully, and once the patient was sent back to the ward, Wei Tong said to Zhao Heng, "Dr. Zhao, we really owe it to you that the surgery went so smoothly this time."

Wei Tong was sincerely speaking these words.

Wei Tong was actually quite anxious about this surgery because, after all, the patient was quite old and had several underlying conditions not suitable for surgical anesthesia.

But fortunately, Zhao Heng did an excellent job with the anesthesia, and the operation was completed smoothly without any incidents.

These kinds of anesthesia effects are sought after but rarely attained by all lead surgeons.

This strengthened Wei Tong's desire to establish a connection with Zhao Heng further, as such tricky situations were not uncommon at Eastern Hospital, where patients with cases unsolvable by other hospitals came for treatment.

"Mr. Wei, this is just part of my job; anyone else would do the same."

Zhao Heng said modestly.

If Zhao Heng truly believed such compliments might cause his ego to inflate, he would eventually suffer great losses in this regard.

"No, not the same. Apart from Lao Gao, it's just you who possesses such a level of skill."

Wei Tong replied earnestly.

Surgeons rarely have those who play mind games; basically, it's all about technical abilities.

Perhaps there are such people in the medical office or HR department, but in surgery, the ability becomes clear the moment they're on the operating table.

After a few more polite exchanges, Wei Tong left the operating room.

"Dr. Zhao, that Wei doctor from the gastrointestinal surgery department is known for his cold demeanor. For him to say such things to you is truly remarkable."

Ding Minjun said with some envy.

Ding Minjun had witnessed the interaction between Zhao Heng and Wei Tong.

In her eyes, every senior attending surgeon at Eastern Hospital was valuable for networking.

However, as an instrument nurse, although she knew many surgeons, their relationships were only as colleagues, hardly even friends.

Such relationships meant mere acquaintances, but when it came to crucial moments like asking for a bed or special care for a hospitalized patient, it remained challenging and difficult to open up.

"Isn't it quite normal, though..."

Zhao Heng looked at Ding Minjun with some strange expression. This Ding Minjun, so forward and familiar?

"Oh, Dr. Zhao, you didn't know? These networking relationships are really useful; you never know when you'll need them."

Seeing Zhao Heng's indifferent look, Ding Minjun couldn't help but say.

Hearing this, Zhao Heng shook his head slightly.

Yet another person revering the so-called networking relationships.

The essence of such so-called networking relationships was crystal clear to Zhao Heng.

Take Wei Tong, who had just walked out, for instance. How come Zhao Heng didn't see such a good attitude in him when he did a device management job previously?

So, the key here lies in the core value one possesses; as long as one has this core value, there's no need for the so-called networking or maintaining relationships. Naturally, you can build networking centered around yourself.

Just as Ding Minjun was about to chat with Zhao Heng further, he was almost done checking and tidying up the life monitoring equipment and was getting ready to leave.

"Dr. Zhao..."

Just as Ding Minjun opened her mouth, she stopped midway through her sentence.

Because she saw Xu Man Ni walk in from outside the operating room.

"Sister Xu..."

Seeing Xu Man Ni come in, Ding Minjun said awkwardly.

Xu Man Ni glanced at Ding Minjun, nodded slightly, and then looked at Zhao Heng, speaking gently, "Let's go for a meal."

When Zhao Heng heard Xu Man Ni's voice, he turned around and nodded.

Standing aside, feeling ignored, Ding Minjun witnessed the harmonious and perfectly complementary interaction between Zhao Heng and Xu Man Ni with a heart sour as if she had bitten into a lemon.

After exiting the operating room, Xu Man Ni suddenly laughed and casually asked Zhao Heng, "What was Ding Minjun talking to you about just now?"

"Talking about networking relationships, those sorts of things."

Zhao Heng said indifferently.

"She is quite pragmatic, with a strong sense of purpose in both character and actions."

Xu Man Ni said, frowning slightly.

People like Ding Minjun were not unique among the nurses in the operating room.

Now, with Zhao Heng's unexpected rise, everyone knew that his future was boundless. Adding to that, Zhao Heng was very handsome, with a good temperament and character. Naturally, it was hard to avoid some women having thoughts about him.

"That's quite normal."

Zhao Heng didn't feel much about Ding Minjun. As for her being pragmatic, he considered himself a very pragmatic person as well.

In a hospital environment, where there are generally more women, especially among the nurses, they are famously pragmatic.

Seeing Zhao Heng's indifference towards Ding Minjun, Xu Man Ni felt relieved. She was genuinely worried that with sudden success, Zhao Heng's mindset might become more complicated.

When a woman falls in love with someone, she tends to fret with uncertainty.

Besides, between her and Zhao Heng, there was still the most crucial layer unbroken.

"Was today's case challenging in terms of anesthesia?"

Xu Man Ni asked further.

"Yes, quite difficult due to the age factor and comorbidities like hypertension, coronary heart disease, and chronic atrial fibrillation."

Zhao Heng nodded in agreement.

The difficulty level of this anesthesia was indeed high, but with the solid foundation laid by Professor Huang and Gao Jun's rich experience, he completed it smoothly.

"Your reputation is well-established now, but in the future, you still have to be cautious. In situations like this, without absolute certainty, it's better not to take on the case if possible."

Xu Man Ni said earnestly.

Achieving success with high-risk anesthesia, establishing a reputation, gaining a foothold, and consolidating status were undoubtedly beneficial.

However, if things go wrong, the consequences can be significant. Medicine itself is filled with uncertain risks.

"I understand; after all, difficulty level is subjective. As long as thorough preparations are made, considering all the patient's conditions, the risk can significantly decrease."

Zhao Heng appreciated Xu Man Ni's sincere concern, but another saying comes to mind, 'Skill breeds boldness.'

Skill breeds boldness not in the sense of reckless action without preparation, but in having rich experience and thorough understanding beforehand — the confidence naturally surpasses the average person, appearing as bold actions to others.

"I'm relieved to hear you think like that."

Xu Man Ni felt reassured after hearing Zhao Heng's words.

In her years in the operating room, she had seen more than one doctor fail in minor procedures.

Sometimes, when dealing with the most critical and challenging patients, though the risk is high, incidents involving doctors are rare.

On one hand, when faced with critical and challenging patients, the patient's family is already mentally prepared. For the attending doctor, they are naturally giving their all, absolutely not taking things lightly, thus reducing the risk for the doctor substantially.

Conversely, it is often the less urgent, routine cases where errors occur during treatment.
