Chapter 680: The Man Without a Flaw

"Xiao Ji, is it just submitted? It should be publishable, right?" Xu Leyu began to fret.

"It should be no problem. I contacted the reviewing editor, and after they watched Neymar's recovery video, they were very interested in the article," Ji Xiang replied.

"That's good, that's good, that's good." Xu Leyu clenched his fists, muttering to himself.

"Chief Xu, if there's nothing else, I'll get back to work." Ji Xiang smiled.

"Don't be like that, come on, let's go have a smoke." Xu Leyu grabbed Ji Xiang and, without allowing for refusal, pulled him into his Duty Room.

Xu Leyu truly didn't know how to express his gratitude; he chuckled while smoking, nearly turning into Fan Jin after passing the imperial examination.

"Chief Xu, what else do you need on your end?" Ji Xiang also took a cigarette, chatting up the Chief while smoking.

This was all taught by the system NPC; Ji Xiang didn't mind, adding a name made things convenient for others and himself.

"I've been keeping an eye on it, I still need a research project." Xu Leyu knew this was likely his most important moment, so he didn't hide anything and spoke directly to Ji Xiang.

"I already have a lead on a provincial-level natural science project; if I can get a few more, it will naturally be more impressive during the review."

"You know, everyone's level is about the same; a single weight can tip the scales." Xu Leyu's saliva was already flowing out.

"Alright, I'll keep an eye out." Ji Xiang smiled and agreed to the matter.

"Xiao Ji, how should I thank you for this?" Xu Leyu began to feel distressed.

"No need, we work together all the time, no need to be so polite."

Thinking of gratitude, Xu Leyu froze for a moment, then began to pull out his hair strand by strand.

Such a big favor, plus the potential future favors, there had to be some way to repay it.

But what did Ji Xiang lack?

Hearing from Professor Deng, the bicycle Ji Xiang rode was a very expensive one; his family shouldn't be short on money.

After appearing on the show this time, he had great fame; if he weren't stubborn, he would have gone into the entertainment industry like Mao Mao and never come back.

The reason he came back was something everyone found strange when chatting, but in the end, they reached a conclusion that no one believed but had to accept—Xiao Ji was a man with convictions.

That was why Xu Leyu was fretting.

Surgery?

Ji Xiang's surgical volume was immense; a normal medical team in Orthopedics or Urology could barely match the surgical volume of the three of them.

Papers?

Research?

Xu Leyu was left in a daze; Ji Xiang seemed to lack nothing.

Truly a man without a single flaw.

"By the way, Xiao Ji." Xu Leyu had a sudden inspiration. "Do you have a girlfriend?"

"No, not interested," Ji Xiang said.

"Uh... you're in the prime of your youth, it's a pity not to find a girlfriend and properly experience love," Xu Leyu said, rubbing his hands.

"When I was an intern, one day I was changing clothes in the operating room. A professor from the neighboring department was smoking, holding his phone, and it was all explicit."

Xu Leyu frowned; was Ji Xiang telling him a story?

Shouldn't it be the older person telling the younger one a story? How did it end up reversed with Ji Xiang?

"I came out of an internship in their department, we knew each other, so I smiled and asked, 'Teacher Yang, are you watching adult movies even while smoking?'"

"Ha! That impressive? That body, truly great!" Xu Leyu laughed.

"Teacher Yang said, that was his home surveillance."

"..."

"I was stunned for a moment, my mind went blank, I had no idea what to say, and I subconsciously said—'Your wife is quite fair.'"

"..."

Xu Leyu listened to Ji Xiang tell his own embarrassing story and was also left speechless.

So awkward; even just hearing Ji Xiang recount it, Xu Leyu felt like scratching the wall.

"That incident left me with psychological trauma. Before, I would occasionally go to P-site or something like Six Rooms. But after that, I never went again."

"No need for that, no need for that," Xu Leyu shook his head.

"I know there's no need, but I truly have no interest in watching anything." Ji Xiang smiled. "No need to introduce a girlfriend; my mom nags me all day to find one. Before, they wouldn't let me, now they say find one, but it's not that easy to find someone suitable."

Xu Leyu looked at Ji Xiang with distress.

With Ji Xiang's looks, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he could change girlfriends twice a week if he were even slightly a scumbag.

"Sigh, as doctors, it's best not to date before finishing as a Resident Chief." Xu Leyu sighed. "The Resident Chief of the Neurology Department committed suicide a few days ago, did you know?"

Ji Xiang shook his head.

"Committed suicide by eating Colchicine, really wanted to die," Xu Leyu said. "As for why, it's just those same old trivial matters."

"As a Resident Chief, you only get one day off a month; their boyfriend cheated on them."

"That's still no reason to eat Colchicine," Ji Xiang didn't understand.

"Resident Chief Wei had been a Resident Chief for half a year, and I saw that their spirit was a bit abnormal," Chief Xu said. "The Resident Chief position is a damn hurdle; if you can't get over it, you go crazy. Otherwise, why do so many people refuse to be a Resident Chief, preferring to resign rather than do it?"

"Our Orthopedics is a bit better, not many emergency surgeries, we can do them fast or slow as we please," Ji Xiang said.

Xu Leyu took a deep breath and nodded.

What Ji Xiang said was the truth; with the door closed, there was nothing to avoid saying.

Although there is centralized procurement, Orthopedics is still considered a good department, ten thousand times better than departments like Neurology that work you to death.

"Did that Resident Chief get resuscitated?"

"They did," Xu Leyu said. "Resident Chief Wei had some mental issues; the director saw it, and actually, everyone in the department knew. The Nurse knocked on the door, saying the Patient had an issue, but there was no movement inside, so they immediately found someone to break the door down."

"And in the hospital, 10,000 milliliters of warm Saline were pumped in; Resident Chief Wei vomited so much, it's said they vomited until their stomach was turned inside out to be washed."

"And then they gave Methylprednisolone?" Ji Xiang asked.

"Ha, you even know this?"

"Methylprednisolone 240mg/day to reduce the inflammatory response, massive fluid resuscitation, Pantoprazole Sodium for Injection 40mg, twice a day for acid suppression therapy, Creatine Phosphate Sodium to nourish the myocardium, intravenous nutrition, and supportive treatment such as correcting Electrolyte Imbalance and supplementing albumin."

Ji Xiang recited the treatment plan.

Xu Leyu nodded repeatedly.

Everything Ji Xiang said was completely correct, without a single error.

"The person is currently... expected to be incapacitated for a while. It's not just the matter of the boyfriend cheating; work stress leading to Spirit disorders is also very common."

"That still shouldn't lead to suicide." Ji Xiang was somewhat unable to understand.

"I don't understand it either, but a few years ago there was a Nurse in the department who said she had Depression, and it was quite severe. She did things differently from others, and every time I felt something was wrong... how should I put it, I would quickly report her to get her away from Clinical work."

"At the time, I was truly afraid that in a moment of impulse, she might swap a Patient's antihypertensive medication for a vasopressor, or a vasopressor for an antihypertensive. This feeling, you understand, right?"

Do I understand?

Ji Xiang silently pondered.

His heart stirred, and he arrived at the System Operating Room.
