The Enhanced Doctor

Chapter 1226: Chapter 1226: An Extraordinary Persuader

"Yueyue, do you have some time? If so, let’s have a chat."

After chatting a bit more, Liu Banxia suddenly said.

Xiao Yue was taken aback, "Wow, Brother Liu, are you trying to be a lobbyist for my dad?"

Liu Banxia gave a thumbs up, "As expected, you’re such a bright kid. So, are you going to let me complete my task?"

"Hahaha, Yueyue, it looks like you can’t escape this time. I’ll go prepare some fruit platters for you." Qiu Mingyuan said with a cheeky grin.

Qiu Huaili also laughed, "Looks like Director Xiao is really anxious. We’ll give you both some time; we’ll go see the baby."

"Oh... well, I had no choice, he’s been talking to me for a long time, and I just haven’t found the time," Liu Banxia said helplessly.

"Whether you listen or not, I have to say it. It’s part of the process, a necessary step. Then tomorrow, I can report to Director Xiao with confidence that I’ve completed the task."

"As for the results, well, that’s not my concern, that’s up to fate. Yueyue, that’s how it is, right? You can’t make it difficult for me."

"Oh my god, Brother Liu, your words are killing me. I never said I wouldn’t let you persuade me; say whatever you want." Xiao Yue said, half-laughing and half-crying.

She also knew her dad would surely find someone to talk to her, but she thought it would be Qiu Mingyuan, not Liu Banxia.

"Yueyue, this is really no joke, he’s been talking to me for ages. But I’ve been too busy lately to catch up on it," said Liu Banxia.

"But I have no intention of interfering, I’m just completing my task. Otherwise, seeing Director Xiao, I’d have to avoid him because I’d be slacking."

"Brother Liu, I told you before, I actually really like cardiothoracic surgery," Xiao Yue reiterated her stance.

"I get that; otherwise, I wouldn’t have supported you back then," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"It’s also something I’ve realized during consultations. I’m just curious about one thing—does your preference have anything to do with Director Xiao?"

"Huh... what’s it got to do with my dad?" Xiao Yue asked, puzzled.

"Well, here’s the situation, sometimes children deliberately avoid the professions of their parents," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"You know Wang Chao from our emergency department, right? His mom originally wanted him to go into politics directly. He wanted to be a cop but couldn’t, so he ended up going to medical school."

"It’s his way of silently rebelling, but now he’s doing really well. Even though he doesn’t show off, his work is very solid, and he’s mastered surgery beautifully."

"So I’m curious if there are factors related to Director Xiao? Last time when we did the echinococcus removal surgery, I actually suggested that you go see Director Xiao’s operation."

"But I didn’t see you there that day. I’m guessing Director Xiao didn’t mention it, because as a medical student, it’s not against the rules to observe early."

Xiao Yue furrowed her eyebrows; she really didn’t know about this. Because, as it turns out, Liu Banxia’s words were something she’d never seriously considered.

Thinking about it now, there might actually be some consideration in that regard.

"My family is quite ordinary, so even a little achievement makes my parents very happy," Liu Banxia continued.

"But it’s different for you all—whether it’s you, Qiaoqiao, Wang Chao, or Ming Yuan, your family conditions are really good. Plus, you have role models ahead of you."

"Don’t you think that if you really study neurosurgery in the future, going home to see your dad, and then seeing him at work, can be quite dull?"

Xiao Yue grimaced, "I honestly don’t know, I never seriously thought about this issue. But now that you’ve mentioned it, my thoughts are starting to waver."

"Come on, you have to stand firm in your position; don’t change your mind just because I said a few things," Liu Banxia hurriedly said.

Xiao Yue was quite exasperated and didn’t even know what to say.

If little Tiggie were here, they’d know this is the familiar rhythm and routine.

Whether or not you agree with Liu Banxia’s opinion, you’ll patiently listen and won’t outright reject it.

"As the old saying goes, there’s something to be said for a son following in his father’s footsteps," Liu Banxia continued.

"It sounds cliché and even more cliché to hear it, but many times it makes sense. After all, being exposed to it from a young age means you’re kind of in this line of work."

"You won’t have any problems; no matter which specialty you choose, you’ll still be a doctor, which fulfills that saying. Cardiothoracic surgery, neurosurgery, general surgery—any surgery is similar."

"You’re quite a while away from officially choosing a specialty, and you have plenty of time to think it over. And regardless of what you choose, you’ll intern with me in the future. At the very least, I have to teach you some general surgical tasks."

"Let’s be clear, even though Brother Liu is acting as Director Xiao’s lobbyist, Brother Liu is also in the Cao camp with his heart still in Han, and will fully support any decision you make."

"We just need to make this decision in a way that ensures we won’t regret it later, which is a basic trait for us as surgeons, right?"

"Not long ago, I got a complaint, right? If I had any regrets, my choices could be affected the next time I encounter a similar patient."

"Alright, my task is complete. Next, you can think it over when you have time, and put it aside if you’re busy."

Xiao Yue wrinkled her nose, originally ready to retort, but now she couldn’t argue against Liu Banxia.

Thinking about it, she wasn’t sure if it was because her father was a renowned neurosurgeon, that she deliberately avoided it.

Maybe it was the fear of not achieving good results in this field, or maybe she just wasn’t interested in neurosurgery. She never considered it from this perspective, so there was no so-called answer.

But now with Liu Banxia’s reminder, she would have to pay more attention.

Just like Liu Banxia said, she should seriously think about it when she has time. Is her obsession with cardiac surgery a result of avoiding neurosurgery?

"Done talking so soon? Hasn’t it been fifteen minutes yet?"

Seeing them walking back, Qiu Mingyuan asked in surprise.

"I already said, I just take it as a task to complete. My task is just to say it, no specific criteria." Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"But I think Yueyue seems to be moved." Qiu Huaili said.

With his rich experience, he could guess approximately just by looking at Xiao Yue’s expression.

"Uncle, Brother Liu said that I might have chosen cardiac surgery because Dad is a neurosurgeon." Xiao Yue said.

"Oh, this matter, uncle doesn’t really have an opinion." Qiu Huaili said with a smile.

"This decision can only be made by yourself, and I believe that no matter which department you truly like, whether it’s neurosurgery or cardiac surgery, or even if you learn general surgery techniques from Banxia, Director Xiao will support you."

"I have a say in this because I’m also a father. As parents, we all hope our kids turn out successful."

"Just like when Mingyuan was little, I hoped he would get into Tsinghua or Peking University. As he grew older, my standards gradually lowered as long as he’s happy."

"There is enough money at home that even if he doesn’t apply himself, it would be enough for him to live his life, and he could take care of the grandchildren and look after Doudou."

"That’s enough, living life is already carrying many burdens. Why can’t we let the children live more freely?"

"You’re even more ambitious than Mingyuan, he’s still a bit playful. Whatever you choose to study, you’re destined to be a great doctor, that’s for sure."

"So just ask yourself which department you really want to choose. Don’t worry about other people’s opinions, don’t worry about what we think or suggest, don’t even ask."

"Thank you, uncle, I’ll think about it carefully." Xiao Yue nodded with a smile.

"Brother Liu is indeed impressive." Qiu Mingyuan said with emotion.

"How impressive, really, it’s just understanding some situations during emergency response." Liu Banxia said.

"It’s not a life-or-death matter, where something must be done a certain way. Choosing is inherently troublesome, there’s no right or wrong."

"Alright, my task is done, I need to go home, wash up, and sleep. There are three surgeries tomorrow, one is a right hemihepatectomy, it takes a long time."

"You really treat it like a task, I was going to ask you to help analyze for Yueyue." Qiu Huaili said.

"Haha, what’s there to analyze? Neurosurgery or cardiac surgery, it’s all about curing and saving lives. No matter which department Yueyue ends up in, she’ll be a great doctor." Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"In the early stages, I can help her lay the foundation; later on, she can specialize. This aspect can be taken care of, she can start special training early, though laying the foundation with me will be a bit tiring."

Hearing his words, Xiao Yue’s face became gloomy again.

Her relationship with Xu Yino and the others was pretty good, so naturally, she knew what Liu Banxia was like at work.

It wouldn’t be just a little tiring; it would be exhausting.

When it comes to this, Liu Banxia has never been secretive, whether in the high school presentation or the lectures at medical school, he repeats it often.

On their way out from the Qiu family, there was a little funny incident; the couple almost took Doudou home too.

The little one said she didn’t want to leave the two little babies, she played for a while and still didn’t have enough.

Truthfully, she didn’t have other playmates, laying down with the two little ones and the warm dogs, they were her companions. At home, there’s only Tiggie, she still thinks Liu Banxia’s home is more fun.

And Banxia? He also put down the burden in his heart.

Consider it completing the task assigned by Director Xiao, as for the outcome, as long as Xiao Yue is happy, that’s all that matters.
