Wang Qian felt a tad awkward, so he tried to change the subject. “1 wonder how Cang Er did in the competition today?”

With that, the interest of the surrounding people was piqued.

After all, Chen Cang’s bid for a permanent position was no small matter in the emergency department, and everyone was somewhat concerned.

Chen Bingsheng dared not make a sound, feeling it was too early to say anything. Praise him now… and risk it turning into a jinx, put him down and have it come true; thinking of this, Chen Bingsheng’s head began to ache.

An Yanjun chuckled, “Little Chen’s basics are more solid than yours, no need for you to fret.”

Qin Yue nodded, “Exactly, Chen Cang is so handsome, he’s sure to pass.”

Wang Qian was stunned and somewhat convinced…

After all, what does being handsome have to do with surgery?

Does being handsome mean you can operate without an anesthetist?

Does being handsome make the appendix jump out on its own?

Besides, I think I’m quite handsome myself, at least more masculine than Chen Cang.

Moreover, upon closer thought, Wang Qian was surprised to discover a major issue: it seemed like he was always being rebutted?

When did I ever neglect to notice this?

Thinking this, Wang Qian decided he should learn from his teacher, An Yanjun, to be a quiet and lovable fool.

At this moment, those around had varying thoughts.

Although whether or not Chen Cang got the position had nothing to do with them, some couldn’t help but wish for Chen Cang not to win the competition…

Like Wang Yong, for instance. He didn’t quite want Chen Cang to win. He had always felt superior to Chen Cang and had even been favored by the department head since joining the hospital, enjoying smooth sailing ever since. Besides, Wang Yong often participated in various activities, so he felt he was much better than Chen Cang.

If Chen Cang were to secure a position, he’d feel a disheartening gap, which would be uncomfortable. So even though Wang Yong didn’t say it out loud, he truly didn’t want Chen Cang to outdo him.

At that moment, Shi Na said, “1 don’t know much about Li Shijian, but I do know a bit about Zhou Xiaodong. He has performed a few consultative operations, very shrewd, with solid surgical skills, trained under Professor Qian Liang, now a rising power in the general surgery department, heavily favored by Zhang Youfu.”

“So… setting other factors aside, 1 still feel that little Chen’s competitiveness is quite formidable. After all, he’s a three-year graduate student plus two years of clinical experience, so there are risks.”

Shi Na was being frank, which caused everyone to sigh.

Wang Qian, although careless with his words, truly hoped from the bottom of his heart that Chen Cang would make it. However, Zhou Xiaodong and Wang Qian were from the same cohort and university alumni, naturally knowing some about him. “During university, Zhou Xiaodong was highly regarded by Director Qian Liang. He indeed has talent.”

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the office grew sober.

Everyone felt a pang of regret.

After all, such an opportunity was hard to come by.

Wang Yong, however, felt a mix of emotions; wanting Chen Cang to get the position, yet also not wanting him to, his feelings were more tangled than during his own exams.

As Chen Cang walked into the office, Chen Bingsheng promptly got up and blurted out, “How did the competition go?”

Before Chen Cang could speak, everyone’s eyes were fixed on him!

Chen Bingsheng was anxious and about to speak, when the head nurse hurriedly rushed in!

“Great news, everyone, great news! 1 have good news to tell you all!”

ii

Eh? Little Chen, you’re here, perfect timing. I have good news. Chen Cang’s confirmation passed!”

Tian Xianglan was all smiles as she looked at Chen Cang, “Little Chen, congratulations, your position issue is resolved. The finance department just asked me to confirm your basic information; nothing has changed, right?”

The moment Tian Xianglan’s words rang out, the place fell silent!

Chen Cang’s confirmation was secured!

Then, the people around suddenly buzzed with excitement!

Wang Qian clamored, “Cang Er, you’ve got to treat us! This is a big life event!”

Qin Yue also stood up and said, “That’s right, Chen the miser! You’ve got to treat us, it’s a must.”

An Yanjun smiled and gave a thumbs-up to Chen Cang.

However, some couldn’t help but envy Chen Cang’s good fortune!

Like those emergency department doctors who were preparing to convert from temporary to contract workers.

They had started on the same starting line as Chen Cang, but in the blink of an eye, found that Chen Cang, who had once been their peer, had now transformed into an employee with a permanent position.

What did a permanent position mean to them?

A root!

With a root, they wouldn’t drift aimlessly, they wouldn’t wander, they could settle down and build a life.

The goal they had strived for so long had been achieved by someone else. And them?

For a moment, while smiles were on faces, people began to think about their own futures.

Wang Yong experienced a myriad of feelings.

This feeling, while happy for Chen Cang… I also felt quite despondent myself.

I clearly knew this was the result of Chen Cang’s hard work, and it had nothing to do with me, but Wang Yong just couldn’t feel happy, even though he wore a smile on his face, his heart harbored several envies.

But upon reflection, opportunities come to those who are prepared.

If Chen Cang hadn’t stepped forward during the chemical plant explosion, to save lives and perform meritoriously, perhaps this opportunity wouldn’t have come.

Moreover, in this surgical competition, Chen Cang was up against two graduate students, and he won.

This proves that he really has the strength!

At this time, Li Baosheng also returned to the office, looking at everyone being lively, he rarely smiled, “It seems everyone knows already, that’s great, congratulations Chen Cang on successfully becoming a regular staff member!”

“The other doctors preparing for the contract examination should really give it their all now, after all, you’ve suddenly got one less competitor, the opportunity is even greater now, everyone should learn from Chen Cang!

H

Upon hearing this, Wang Yong’s eyes suddenly lit up!

That’s right!

Since Chen Cang has become a regular staffer, he won’t be competing with us, isn’t that like having one less competitor?

At this moment, Chen Cang suddenly heard the system prompt:

[Ding! Li Baoshan’s expectation mission complete, considering you’ve successfully transitioned to a regular staff position, judged as task completion above and beyond, reward upgraded: you’ve gained one of Li Baoshan’s skills and it has been automatically advanced by one level.]

[Ding! Draw successful, you’ve acquired Li Baoshan’s skill: Poison Recognition (Passive Skill) Advanced.]

[Ding! Promoted to Master level!]

[Poison Recognition (Passive Skill): Master level, special effects: 1. Precise identification; 2. Treatment planning.]

Chen Cang was momentarily stunned, then his eyes gleamed.

Poison Recognition!

This is some good stuff!

In the emergency department, the most common type of cases are trauma, heart diseases, and then poison cases!

Poisoning is not just about food poisoning, but also includes drug poisoning, chemical poisoning, even oxygen can cause poisoning, so… it’s a vast field of knowledge!

Having completed the mission above expectations, and obtaining such an explosive skill, Chen Cang was sincerely excited.

No!

I should say pumped!

Having such a skill would at least ensure that I won’t panic during the night shift…

That’s right.

Chen Cang had been on night shift for more than two years, and what he feared most wasn’t being unable to sleep at night or dealing with difficult patients; it was encountering patients and not knowing what to do!

For a doctor, this is a fearsome situation.

After all, doctors are essentially the last line of defense in human life; if our line of defense isn’t strong enough, how can we talk about treating diseases and saving lives!

Thinking of this, Chen Cang got a wave of excitement.

Emergency poison cases are inherently critical, and if one doesn’t have such capability, it’s truly dangerous.

Moreover, as a surgeon, you shouldn’t only know how to perform surgery. Surgery is one of the treatment plans, but you must also have excellent diagnostic abilities.

Happy!

When double happiness comes, naturally it calls for a celebration!

Recently, Chen Cang’s financial situation had eased a bit. Of course, the main source was still from fleecing the rich; after getting the tens of thousands from Zheng Guotan, Zheng’s president, Chen Cang’s wallet had gradually fattened.

Also, with some rewards after completing the tasks these past few days, continuously monetizing through the stock market.

So in the evening, Chen Cang took those who were not on duty out for a small get-together at a nearby restaurant.

Except for Shi Na who was on duty and Qin Yue who accompanied her, virtually all the male doctors from the department were there.

It was generally an occasion when no wine meant no joy.

Li Baoshan didn’t drink, in his words, as the person in charge of the emergency department, he couldn’t drink, if he’s on duty that day, then he won’t drink.

However… that was indeed the case; Chen Cang had never seen the director drink.

No matter the hospital activity, any dinner party, any kind of ceremony, Li Baoshan never drank.

However, just because Li Baoshan didn’t drink didn’t mean he prevented everyone else from drinking, An Yanjun also had a few drinks, and Chen Bingsheng drank even more merrily, extremely joyous.

After quite the lively time, everyone dispersed around twelve o’clock.

When Chen Cang went to pay the bill, the waiter said, “Someone has already paid.”

Chen Cang was startled, “Who was it?”

The waiter pondered for a moment, “The one that looks like Zhang Yi… that… the bald man.”

It was the director!
