Zhang Fan finally finished his rotation in the depressing oncological department. Director Anar respectfully sent off Zhang Fan, since she would always think of Superintendent Ouyang whenever she saw him, and thus start to worry about her director position. Zhang Fan had felt far too suffocated in the oncological department as patients there were mostly resigned to death already.

Zhang Fan was then rotated to the endocrinology department. This department was far too difficult, and would make many medical students quit for an easier department. Those who weren’t good enough in their studies wouldn’t be able to handle this department at all. The basic concepts in this department weren’t very direct, which made things difficult for medical students who were poor at studies. Hormones would easily confuse medical students. The different types of hormones, their usages, hormonal systems, and so on were all very high level. Much knowledge would also be the unclear type in the laboratory.

Thus, you could imagine how difficult it would be to work in this department. However, this department did have its strengths. In comparison to other departments, this department would receive fewer emergency patients. The patients here would also progress more slowly in their illnesses.

Chasu City Hospital was still only a local Class A hospital, so endocrinology and metabolic diseases were classified together in the same department. There were only two male doctors in this entire department. All other doctors were female, and most of the female doctors were young and married already. The two male doctors were really pitiful! They would have to readjust their experience regarding women since they were working in an environment where young and married women were the majority.

The female doctors in the endocrinology department were also quite pretty. Maybe they had better knowledge on how to take good care of themselves!

Zhang Fan trembled when he received his rotation paperwork from the hospital administration director. Endocrinology was one of his weakest subjects in internal medicine. It was truly difficult. If you only tried to get only the basics, perhaps you would be able to understand those in just three months. However, truly understanding endocrinology theories would be far too difficult!

Growth factor, G protein-coupled receptors, secondary messenger, dephosphorylation, and so on would all be examples of vocabulary that you would need to study for quite a long period of time in the endocrinology department. Such vocabulary was only a tiny subsection of endocrinology.

There was a certain phrase in the medical field. Biochemistry was difficult, but internal chemistry was biochemistry’s daddy! No matter if it was in a large or small hospital, endocrinology almost always belonged to the realm of female geniuses. It would take a very long time for a doctor to become an experienced endocrinologist. Even in internal medicine, endocrinology was a department that required longer time than usual to gain sufficient experience.

The director of the endocrinology department was named Dilibaer. She was a beautiful and unmarried woman who had joined Chasu City Hospital in the same year as Superintendent Ouyang. It was said that her father was previously a high-ranking government official of Chasu City. It was unknown why she had remained single for all this time. She was the type who only cared about her work, although she only focused on developing her own endocrinology department and not the entire hospital.

Back in Dilibaer’s generation, there had been very few students who went to study abroad. However, she counted as half a foreign exchange student, since she had studied in the former Soviet Union. She then hurriedly returned to China when her studies there were only half complete. That was because the Soviet Union collapsed! Although she had only finished half her studies there, Dilibaer already counted as a top-level talent back in her generation.

She joined Chasu City Hospital after she returned. At any rate, that time was filled with things that couldn’t be said to be right or wrong. First, her father lost his position, and then he regained his government position and obtained even more. However, only a little less than two years after regaining power, he passed away due to a heart attack. Maybe she saw past life through all this as she hurriedly finished her romance and remained single ever since then.

She was focused on work as well as single, so she managed her department incredibly strictly. She would have to personally approve anyone who wanted to permanently join the endocrinology department. If a rotation doctor wanted to stay in the endocrinology department, the doctor would need to first have a solid foundation as well as a cautious attitude. The doctor would also need to have their own personal understanding when answering her random questions that she would ask them while checking up on the patients. Additionally, her questions wouldn’t only be about endocrinology. She would ask questions regarding all of internal medicine.

Most new intern male doctors weren’t the steady and reliable type. They would typically want to have some more fun in order to make up for their difficult years in medical school now that they were finally getting paid. However, Director Dilibaer really hated people who were frivolous, which was why this department had so few male doctors. Li Hui had felt really suffocated when temporarily rotated here before. The entire department’s atmosphere didn’t suit his personality at all!

Thus, the endocrinology department was one where women ruled. Also, Director Dilibaer had many childhood friends who were now government leaders. Several doctors in the endocrinology department were now the personal health consultants for these government leaders. This meant that the endocrinology department was able to send doctors out on study programs far more often than other departments. Typically, the doctor would make an agreement with the government leader, who would then mention it to Chasu City Hospital.

Director Dilibaer had previously fallen in love with someone she shouldn’t have. This was why she especially hated frivolous men. Li Hui had almost suffocated to death in this department. When he learned that Zhang Fan was being transferred to endocrinology, he called Zhang Fan and said, “Remember, don’t say a single word if you don’t need to in that department. And if you don’t know something, just directly say that you don’t know it. If you get anything wrong, that cold-blooded goddess of destruction running the department will make you feel so embarrassed. She won’t give you any face at all.”

Li Hui’s personality had changed greatly after he got married. He was now a classical example of a family man. The young man who used to do whatever he pleased had now matured! He had also been permanently assigned to the respiratory department, which had also been his final goal as a department.

Director Dilibaer had a very good relationship with Superintendent Ouyang. It was said that she was the one who’d set up the connections for Superintendent Ouyang to become Chasu City Leader Zhao’s personal doctor. However, this was only a rumor that the surgeons whispered about. Surgeons would be a bit disadvantaged when compared to internal medicine doctors for becoming personal health consultants for the government leaders. Maybe this was the surgeons’ way of expressing their envy!

Zhang Fan didn’t immediately go to the endocrinology department, because he needed to go to Chasu City’s award ceremony for the top 10 youths of Chasu City award this Friday. Superintendent Ouyang had already informed him that he had to appear in the best possible manner, since Zhang Fan was representing every young person in Chasu City’s medical field. This was a heavy responsibility!

This news had already spread throughout Chasu City Hospital as if a large stone had been tossed into a pond, causing countless ripples. Zhang Fan received endless congratulatory phone calls. For someone interested in career promotions, this award would be an excellent pedestal as it was a city-level honor. However, Zhang Fan didn’t have any interest in such things. He was really annoyed by all the congratulatory phone calls he was receiving.

Shao Hua was also really happy to learn about Zhang Fan receiving this award. Although she also didn’t know what this award would be useful for, she felt that it definitely wouldn’t be a bad thing for her boyfriend to be declared one of the top 10 youths of Chasu City.

Zhang Fan was the type who would normally spend only five yuan on getting a haircut. However, Shao Hua pressured him into spending 200 yuan on a haircut for the first time in his life. She had the barber give him a hairstyle design.

“The haircuts that cost 200 yuan and five yuan seem about the same to me!” Zhang Fan commented while looking at himself in the mirror after the haircut.

“How can they possibly be the same? Look at how spirited you look now. Instead of a skilled doctor, you now look more like an idol. How about I ask Jia Suyue to put some makeup on you?”

“Forget it. I’m a man, so why should I put on makeup?” Jia Suyue was coming over to see Shao Hua far less ever since Shao Hua and Zhang Fan started going steady. However, the friendship between the two girls was still as strong as ever.

Shao Hua forced Zhang Fan to wear a suit, tie, shiny leather shoes, hair wax, and even skin cream. Zhang Fan felt really awkward as he looked at himself in the mirror.

“What’s the matter?” Shao Hua noticed that Zhang Fan seemed to be somewhat off.

“I was in a bit of a daze just now. I suddenly saw myself from when I first gradated from college in the mirror!”

“Don’t feel any pressure. No matter what, you’re always the best man in my mind!” Shao Hua touched Zhang Fan’s cheek and gently kissed him!
