Chapter 806: 806
Winter was around the corner .

People felt cold when they entered the operating theater, and they suffered a heatstroke when they came out .
Even Fragrance Yard would start to stink in such heat . But the doctors in Ling Ran’s treatment group were basically constantly frozen .
Due to Zhang Anmin’s consultation service, the number of Ling Ran’s surgeries had greatly increased .
Ling Ran’s patients in the past were mainly from several departments, which were the Emergency Department, Department Director Huo, the Outpatient Department, and most of all, references from other doctors .
Among them, the flow of patients from Department Director Huo was based on his needs . When Ling Ran needed specific patients, Department Director Huo would find more of those patients, but there would be none at other times . The other three came at a relatively steady stream . Over a long period of time, the number of patients from these channels was basically constant and would not fluctuate too much .
Zhang Anmin’s consultation was basically adding to Ling Ran’s number of patients . He provided two and a half days of specialist consultations every week, and he could take in thirty or forty patients . Hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeries were rather special . Usually, when people felt that their livers or gallbladders had problems, and their bodies showed obvious symptoms, it was basically set in stone that they were sick .
Therefore, the patients who came for consultation from the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery would often be questioned a little before being referred to another hospital or hospitalized . There were very few who would come out of their consultation and the entirety of their treatment with their liver or gallbladder still intact .
Recently, the newly-added online consultation feature also brought in a lot of patients . Although most of them had mild symptoms, they kept Ling Ran’s treatment group busy .
For instance, a chief resident like Yu Yuan would basically have no chance of going out to get a heatstroke .
The junior doctors would have definitely loved to be in her shoes .
A hospital was a place where the extent of seniority deciding a person’s rank reached an extreme level . Being one step ahead often allowed someone to constantly do better than others . That was not just a saying in the hospital, but reality . An example was the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, where He Yuanzheng was in . It ended up being divided because of arguments between senior doctors, who tried to seize the position of the department director . In the end, the assistant chief physicians who had been there for twenty years were all purged by He Yuanzheng, an outsider .
The reason why he performed the purge was due to how seniority decided one’s rank in the hospital . Otherwise, He Yuanzheng would not have been able to secure the position of department director in the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery .
The hospital also knew the rules of survival in a department, so the higher-ups agreed to his actions tacitly and watched as He Yuanzheng took over the office . They also watched idly by when He Yuanzheng ostracized the other associate chief physicians .
It was also due to the same reason that the hospital watched how Ling Ran bullied He Yuanzheng and watched how Zhang Anmin acted as a traitor . After all, Ling Ran’s qualifications had risen, and his seniority had become higher than He Yuanzheng’s, though the second fact was still not stated in black and white .

However, nothing in the world should be taken for granted . Zhang Anmin also made countless efforts to keep his position . In order to avoid being gossiped about, he did not accept any bonus from the Emergency Medical Center recently, and he only focused on working . In order to do more, he also suspended freelance surgeries to the Bazhaixiang hospital branch . Even though his bonus from the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery was cut off, Zhang Anmin accepted this fact silently to minimize criticism .
After persisting for about a month, Zhang Anmin started giving off the natural scent of a doctor .
He would just eat in the hospital and wear scrubs as well as his white coat . There was no need for transportation, and he could sleep in the hospital because the temperature was just right . He could also gain favor from the doctors in the night shift and save money, which he then used to treat others so that he can be scolded less .
Zhang Anmin survived on his own way until the day he was finally officially hired by the hospital .
On that day, there was neither the deafening sound of gongs and drums nor banners flying around to talk about his achievements!
Zhang Anmin received a red book from the hospital director’s office and silently returned to the office belonging to Ling Ran’s treatment group in the Emergency Medical Center . When he noticed there was no one around, he locked the red book in his desk drawer and headed to the Operating Area .
The Operating Area in the Emergency Medical Center had always been bustling with activity .
Ever since the visitation room was built, it reached the points where there was a constant commotion there .
Zhang Anmin felt inexplicably lonely . In essence, he was still the associate chief physician of the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery . Although the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery had already cut out his bonus and commission, Zhang Anmin was still not part of the Emergency Medical Center .
Since he was not from the Emergency Medical Center, he felt embarrassed to receive the bonus from the Emergency Medical Center, but that was only secondary; even when he received the letter of appointment for the associate chief physician, there was no one there to celebrate it with him, and it made Zhang Anmin feel a little uncomfortable .
“Doctor Zhang, you’re here . ” Ma Yanlin saw Zhang Anmin and greeted him .
“Doctor Ma . ” Zhang Anmin hummed, and he walked past Ma Yanlin after greeting him somewhat politely .
Ma Yanlin gave Zhang Anmin a strange look, then wiggled his nose before he said to Yu Yuan, who was next to him . “Old Zhang did not go back home again . The smell of the hospital is too strong on him . ”
“Didn’t you also not return home?” Yu Yuan’s reaction was calm .

Ma Yanlin pouted . “We don’t have the same reasons for not going home, you know?”
“What’s the difference?”
“He’s afraid of his wife, so he doesn’t dare go home . ”
“How about you?”
“For me…” Ma Yanlin hesitated for a few seconds and shook his head vigorously . “The two of us are different . His wife only asks him for one thing: bring money home, and it’s not the same as mine . ”
Yu Yuan glanced at Ma Yanlin with a strange look . “Does your wife demand a lot from you?”
Ma Yanlin was in shock again .
*Swoosh*
Zhang Anmin opened the door to Operating Theater 3 and saw Lu Wenbin sitting on a chair as he carefully performed tendon repair .
“Is that the M-Tang technique?” Zhang Anmin asked .
“Oh, Associate Chief Physician Zhang, you’re here . ” Lu Wenbin looked up with a semi-teasing tone and smiled . “It’s the M-Tang technique, and I’m doing it so slowly that I’m causing anxiety to others . ”
But even though he said this, Lu Wenbin’s face was full of smiles .
He was now able to be the chief surgeon for M-Tang surgeries . Although his skill level was only average, this was still a unique and great skill . Actually, no, it was not that unique or great, but it was rather unique and great . At the very least, it was at the level of the qi cultivation technique for the Five Tigers Door Breaker Saber Technique .
Lu Wenbin was still very proud of this . With this skill alone, even if he was fired today, he could still find a job in other hospitals in Yun Hua City tomorrow . At that time, he would still be able to sing, sell pork trotters, dance around, and still be able to buy two houses a year . He was a winner in life, he had nothing to be afraid of .
Zhang Anmin felt pleased when Lu Wenbin called him by his title as associate chief physician . He wanted to boast, but he held back .
Lu Wenbin was Ling Ran’s eldest disciple, and Zhang Anmin could not help but feel a little guilty, so he complimented him out of habit . “You’re already very good to be able to perform M-Tang technique . If you concentrate on doing this technique for another seven to eight years, you will definitely have an endless supply of surgeries in Changxi Province alone, much less the country . ”
“We’ll see . M-Tang technique is not a major surgery, after all,” Lu Wenbin spoke modestly but still managed to show off a little .
“There are levels in major surgeries as well . ” Zhang Anmin also wanted to show off .
Lu Wenbin just smiled . “I won’t worry about these things, Department Director Huo will help me deal with it . ”
“True…” Zhang Anmin once again exited from Operating Theater 3 disgruntledly .
Zhang Anmin felt resigned because he did not have sufficient qualifications for him to boast .
*Swoosh*
The door to Operating Theater 2 was opened . Ling Ran came out with bloody hands .
“Doctor Ling,” Zhang Anmin immediately greeted him .
“Oh, Doctor Zhang . Do you want to perform surgery?” Ling Ran asked as he washed his hands .
Zhang Anmin did not expect that . He then asked, “What kind of surgery?”
“Choledochoduodenostomy of the common bile duct . ” Ling Ran had previously acquired this skill and began consciously accepting patients who fit the indications .
Zhang Anmin habitually accepted it .
“It’s in Operating Theater 1,” Ling Ran said before he urged him to move, “Wash your hands . ”
“Oh… yes…” Zhang Anmin stepped forward in a flurry of motion and started washing his hands with the seven-step hand washing technique .
When running water hit his skin, Zhang Anmin’s mood gradually became stable .
“Doctor Ling, I got my letter of appointment as the associate chief physician,” Zhang Anmin whispered .
“Congratulations,” Ling Ran revealed a bright, charming smile . It cheered up Zhang Anmin .
“Thank you, Doctor Ling . ” Zhang Anmin was energized .
Ling Ran nodded slightly . A bright blue light appeared in front of him .
