The Enhanced Doctor

Chapter 1137: Chapter 1137: Shocking to the Core

"They were looking for you; four wards are ready, and two more are on standby."

Liu Banxia had just finished chatting with Qiaoqiao when Zhou Li walked in.

"Just talk to Old Chen. Tonight, I’ll join the fun. Honestly, my mind’s at home; I miss the kids," Liu Banxia said.

"If there’s nothing around ten or so, you can head back. By then, most of the patients should have arrived," Zhou Li replied.

"Ah... not worth the hassle. By the time I get home, wash up, it’ll be past midnight. Won’t sleep much before rushing back here; better to tough it out overnight," Liu Banxia said.

"Don’t just talk about me; how are things with Old Wang? Shouldn’t you two be thinking about having one too? I feel our nurse team is quite strong right now."

"Ah... we’re considering it. But with all the surgeries lately, Old Wang is super busy every day," Zhou Li said helplessly.

"Just let it happen naturally, no need to rush. By the time we’ve trained people enough, even my maternity leave will be long after."

"Has the director talked to you about separating the departments? He mentioned it to me, suggesting I prepare people. It’s likely to happen around New Year’s," Zhou Li asked.

"That soon? I haven’t asked the director; maybe he forgot to mention it," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"Pretty much. Recently, more patients have been asking for your surgeries. Plus, there are more trauma cases here at the emergency center, so general surgery patients are quite high in proportion."

"Ah... the past few days, those little six were all troubled by this matter," Liu Banxia sighed.

"We’ll have to divide them up properly; they all want to learn NOSES surgery. I need to arrange the internship opportunities well. They must be trained properly so I can relax more."

"Sister Li, are the staff and wards all adjusted?" Chen Xuehai walked in at this moment.

"All set up, I was just discussing it with Banxia. Seeing you talking with the leaders, I didn’t go over," Zhou Li replied.

"Ah... this guy’s shirking responsibility, tying me down here," Chen Xuehai said.

"You’re the business deputy director; this is directly under your charge," Liu Banxia said.

"If you notice the situation, shouldn’t you take responsibility?" Chen Xuehai retorted bluntly.

"I’ve informed ICU, so if critically ill patients are transferred, send them directly there. Grab a quick bite first, eat fast and come back quickly to last a bit longer," Chen Xuehai said.

"Sister Li, see that? That’s the business deputy director; his words are certainly effective," Liu Banxia joked.

"You two, always causing a fuss. Director Chen, I think you’ve spent too much time with Banxia," Zhou Li said earnestly.

"Ah... Who’s saying it’s not true? That’s what I feel too," Chen Xuehai nodded seriously.

"Alright, let’s not stay in the room. Don’t put everything on the director," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"It’s about time, I’ll take some folks for lunch first. I need to find Liu Yiqing; she snatched my meal card. We can’t just rely on connections; it’s embarrassing."

"Hurry up and come back quickly, don’t waste too much time," Chen Xuehai reminded.

"I ate quickly at noon, both Brother Wei and I are swamped," Liu Banxia complained.

No one took his words seriously. Working here, there’s truly no fixed meal time.

It’s understandable to grab lunch earlier; soon it would be peak admission time, everyone’s coming to check for peace of mind regardless of symptoms or not.

"Haha, Teacher Liu, what do you want to eat? My treat," Liu Yiqing, running ahead, said lavishly.

"Why are you using my meal card for a treat?" Liu Banxia said helplessly.

"Treating and whose meal card doesn’t conflict," Liu Yiqing replied.

"Was it you or Xu Yino who informed Qiaoqiao?" Liu Banxia asked.

"Of course it’s me, such an important thing, gotta let the teacher’s wife know first," Liu Yiqing said.

"See that? A real little spy," Liu Banxia said to Wang Chao.

"This time, I’ve got to speak for Liu Yiqing; it’s her way of showing concern for you," Wang Chao said seriously.

"Traitor, you’re just eyeing the meal card in her hand," Liu Banxia said.

"What’s the estimated number of patients coming today?" Wei Yuan asked curiously.

"Probably won’t be few; some may go to nearby hospitals, but most will likely come to our emergency center and city hospital," Liu Banxia replied.

"This will also involve compensation issues. Guess Dahua Barbecue is pretty much finished this time. Overcharging is one thing, but food safety is a major incident," Wei Yuan said.

"It’s not much really; they can just keep opening under a different name," Wei Yuan said.

"They have plenty of tricks, not intending to create a long-established brand. Though they’ll lose some and pay, they can still earn in the future," Liu Banxia said.

"Anyway, just watch, as long as the staff below are willing to take the blame, the boss will be fine. If they dare to do such a thing, they must be fully prepared."

"Hmm, maybe Brother Wei is right." Liu Banxia nodded.

The power of money is great; it can tempt people to commit crimes, or have them take the fall. This kind of thing is sometimes really unclear, just depends on how much money is given.

There are even people daring to take the blame for crimes like drunk driving that cause fatalities, so today’s incident really doesn’t seem like much in comparison.

"Look quickly, the news is out, it’s so fast, Reporter Qu is really quick." Just arriving at the cafeteria, Liu Yiqing shouted at the TV screen.

Everyone looked over, and sure enough, this appeared to be an emergency bulletin, not even waiting for the evening news time.

They’ve likely entered the preparation room of the barbecue restaurant by now, but oh my, there’s "discolored" meat in there. No need for testing, it’s definitely spoiled.

Though it doesn’t matter, once heavy seasoning is added, no one can tell.

"My god, this is so heartless!" Wang Chao couldn’t help but say.

"Sigh... there’s nothing they can’t pull off that we can’t imagine. What’s soaking in that basin over there? It must be the fabled mutton oil duck meat, right?" Liu Banxia said.

"It might really be, I’m puzzled, how can they do this in such a big store? How come no employee has reported it?" Wei Yuan said.

"Look at that grill, although grills are usually dirty, theirs is a bit too much, right? Sigh... can we still enjoy barbecues happily in the future?"

You really don’t know until you see it, once you do, it’s shocking, truly described as horrifying.

The back kitchen of this barbecue city is beyond just dirty and messy, anyway, it caused Liu Banxia’s appetite to drop significantly.

This is a famous online store with many people checking in. That so-called barbecue oil, probably not good oil either. Seeing staff putting seals on this place, Liu Banxia felt a great sense of satisfaction.

"Director Liu, no question, what do you want to eat tonight, I’ll treat."

They were still watching when Zhou Qiang cheerfully said.

"What’s up with you? Do you have a grudge against this barbecue city or something?" Liu Banxia asked curiously.

"These scoundrels make us fellow catering people angry just by watching." Zhou Qiang said.

"Just look at our ingredients, seasonings, oil, anything, we can guarantee quality. Just eat with peace of mind."

"Been in this line for over twenty years, joined young. The thing I hate most is this kind of behavior, ruins our reputation."

"You know all about this place, know what it’s like. Other stores? Customers would surely have doubts, not to expect the whole barbecue industry to recover in just a couple of months."

Liu Banxia nodded, "That’s indeed about right, Brother Wei just said there’s no joy in having barbecues anymore. Now, when I want barbecues, I either go to a friend’s store or have it at home."

"It’ll continue this way, really dare not go to unfamiliar places, don’t know what might be served. Get me some braised meat chunks, pickled cabbage noodles, stir-fried liver tips, and a cauliflower salad."

He was straightforward and accepted Zhou Qiang’s treat without hesitation.

This is considered a favor exchange; when Qiaoqiao was hospitalized, they ordered meals from Zhou Qiang, lavishly.

As for Zhou Qiang? He was honestly annoyed today, and a bit provoked too. Anyway, others benefited with Liu Banxia, each gifted a meat dish.

Of course, it’s also a way to build relationships.

The star department in the hospital now is the emergency center, and these are all key players, keeping good relations is right.

"Sigh... thinking about it now, there really are a lot of safety issues in the catering industry." After a while, Wang Chao said.

"Remember the other time when there was an awake cardiac bridge surgery? That patient was extremely disgusted with this." Liu Banxia said.

"Even reported places randomly doing takeaways; full of righteousness. Probably enough issues with this store now, facing hefty fines."

"I remember, you were chatting with them then, right?" Wang Chao said with a laugh.

"According to that patient, the boss should be sentenced. Just fines aren’t harsh enough. With the kitchen exposed like this, no one would dare take the blame now."

"This matter seems serious, if the boss claims having no involvement, they probably wouldn’t even believe it themselves." Liu Banxia said.

"Absolutely, this makes the perfect side dish, let’s eat quickly and change shifts later. We’re the main team for admissions, I’ll handle the late-night meal."

"Definitely, you’re the hero today." Wang Chao said.

"There’s no mistake, plus this incident, your outstanding young person accolade is surely secured. Have to add dishes for us then, can’t be less."

"Such a headache, you’ve turned me into your meal card." Liu Banxia said helplessly.

Everyone laughed, today’s appetite was indeed good. For such stores, stringent penalties are a must.
