The Enhanced Doctor

Chapter 1089: Chapter 1089: Power Should Be Used

(Thank you to Yang Zhong for the monthly ticket encouragement)

The Second Hospital once again became the topic of people’s discussions. In the eyes of Chen Zhenxing and Zhou Shuwen, Liu Banxia is a lucky charm.

Ever since they employed Liu Banxia, you don’t have to worry about what antics this guy will get up to; he just has this good fortune and always manages to push the Second Hospital into the public view.

You could even say that the exposure the Second Hospital got in the past year has surpassed that of many past years. They can’t even remember the last time the Second Hospital was in the spotlight like this, if ever at all.

Previously, when people mentioned affiliated hospitals, they immediately thought of the First and Third Hospital. Later, it got a little better, and people finally realized that the Second Hospital’s standards were also quite good.

But it was limited to the evaluation of "quite good", not as excellent as people know it now.

After a few days of clamor, discussions about "bringing emergency knowledge to campuses" in society have also come to a temporary halt.

After all, people still have to live, fighting daily for food, clothing, housing, and transportation. When a hot topic emerges, they discuss it a little to prove they’re not ignorant.

Today, Liu Banxia also slightly delayed his work start time because, for him, today is quite an important day.

Comrade Qiaoqiao will rush to the VIP ward of the emergency center of the Second Hospital for delivery. Never mind that only Qiaoqiao carries two babies in her belly; the various items to be taken to the ward filled the trunks of three cars.

"Tang Dou, you need to stay home and take good care of the kids." Before getting in the car, Qiaoqiao seriously advised Tang Dou.

"Don’t worry; Tang Dou is a good kid and will definitely take good care of them. If you nag once more, it’ll have a meltdown." Liu Banxia said.

"Oh dear, I’m not nagging that much, I’m just not at ease, you know?" Qiaoqiao glared at him.

"No way, I have to send Tang Dou off first. Otherwise, if it sees me getting into the car, it will keep waiting for me to come home. Tang Dou is not like yours; it knows to care for people."

After saying that, Qiaoqiao, with her big belly and five dog leashes in hand, took Tang Dou’s family to Qiu Huaili’s house.

Everyone exchanged glances, what else could they do?

Nothing trumps the needs of a pregnant woman, no matter what Qiaoqiao wants to do now, she gets her way.

It’s also because the due date is near that Qiaoqiao has become very nervous.

Even though during previous discussions she could chat and joke, comfort Xu Yino and Liu Yiqing, when the actual event looms, who wouldn’t be anxious?

"Banxia, aren’t you going to accompany Qiaoqiao to drop them off?" Liu Qingdong asked with some concern.

"Dad, it’s okay. She’ll send Tang Dou and the others over and will cry there for a while. If I go, it’ll be all the more chaotic." Liu Banxia said with a wry smile.

"Last night she was discussing with me whether we could find a way, pull some strings or something, to bring Tang Dou and the children over too. She wants Tang Dou to be the first to see the baby when it’s born."

"Hang in there, just a few more days to go." Qiu Huaili, as someone who has been through this, offered a word of comfort.

"Yanzi, you guys actually don’t need to go. Qiaoqiao is just moving in for now, not giving birth today." Liu Banxia then turned to Wang Xiaoyan and her girlfriends.

If the various small items filled three trunks, then the number of people going today is truly not small.

Anyway, Qiaoqiao is very happy and has already instructed Jinbao to set up two tables directly. Once everything is settled, they’ll go there for lunch.

"Hehe, just looking for some excitement, even Jiaojiao took leave to come over." Wang Xiaoyan said with a smile.

"When you get to the hospital, you really have to go along with Qiaoqiao, two kids in there and yet her belly’s so big, I genuinely feel distressed. Make sure to take good care of her, we’ll come over anytime to keep an eye on things."

Liu Banxia could only nod vigorously.

Because he’s busy, opportunities to meet Qiaoqiao’s girlfriends aren’t many. Yet they come over anytime during the day to keep Qiaoqiao company, and that’s their kindness too.

They waited for a full half-hour longer before Qiaoqiao came back.

Just as Liu Banxia predicted, her eyes were red.

"Tang Dou is just heartless, playing with the kids and Tiggie, doesn’t miss me at all." Standing before Liu Banxia, Qiaoqiao complained.

"No worries, I’ll take the time to go back and see it and give it a lesson on ideological and political education. Shall we get in the car now?" Liu Banxia suggested.

"How could Tang Dou be to blame? It doesn’t know why I’m leaving and thinks I’ll be back tonight." Qiaoqiao gave him a sidelong glance.

"Don’t worry, whenever I get a chance, I’ll open the video on my phone so you can watch them play." Wang Jingxian said with a smile.

"Thanks, Sister Xian. Anyone is better than you, you’re just a heartless little guy." Qiaoqiao thanked her merrily, then gave Liu Banxia another glare and pinched him.

Her group of girlfriends laughed uproariously, they hadn’t expected the couple to be so amusing in their interactions.

Finally, Qiaoqiao got in the car. To make her more comfortable, they didn’t use any of their usual cars. Qiu Huaili’s large minivan had been requisitioned by Qiaoqiao for the time being.

The whole group set off, and the scale of their procession was indeed quite substantial. Anyone in the know understood that they’re sending Qiaoqiao to the hospital for delivery; those who don’t might think they’re going to fetch the bride!

"Hehe, for me, I’m actually quite happy inside." Qiaoqiao said cheerfully as the car started moving.

"Before, when I went out and came back, I always drove alone and didn’t know anyone here. At most, I just came back to sleep. But now it’s great, I have so many people with me."

"Jingxian, when you’re at home and have nothing to do, bring Doudou to see me. I’m really fond of kids now, and our Doudou is so well-behaved. I’m gonna be Doudou’s grandma one day."

"Sure. And don’t always bully Banxia; the hospital work is already demanding, and now his surgeries are fully booked. Let him relax a bit at home without worrying too much." Wang Jingxian said with a smile.

"Sis Jingxian, Mom, I don’t even know what’s going on. When I look at him now, I don’t know why, but I just always feel angry and want to give him a hard time." Qiaoqiao said a bit sheepishly.

"But after I bully him, I feel a bit sorry. I know he’s more famous now and everyone wants him to do their surgeries. He should get some peace at home, but I just feel angry."

"Who else would you bully if not him? It’s fine, bully him as you should." Peng Xiuqin chimed in to mediate.

"Actually, it’s just because you love each other this way, which shows Banxia is spoiling you." Wang Jingxian also laughed and added.

"But will it always be like this? Won’t we really start fighting after a while?" Qiaoqiao worriedly asked again.

"Don’t worry. You’re pregnant now; once you have the baby, you won’t even have the time to think about him. Your world will revolve around the child every day." Wang Jingxian said.

"Don’t overthink it, just wait peacefully to have the baby. There are many in our community who care about you and asked me to let them know when the baby arrives."

"Hehe, it’s actually good for him to be busy every day. Otherwise, we wouldn’t know so many people." Qiaoqiao said cheerfully again.

Her previous worries disappeared, leaving her mood-driven and thinking what she thought.

The motorcade arrived at the second hospital, giving those there a scare, thinking something major had happened or a fight was about to break out.

The VIP ward is actually quite spacious, but it couldn’t handle such a crowd. The influx of so many people made the room a bit crowded.

Normally, not even a VIP would have such an arrangement. This was Liu Banxia using some of his privileges.

He didn’t care what others thought; this was his wife, after all, and she deserved the best care. As long as she was happy, that was all that mattered.

"Alright, ladies, you can relax a bit now. Go straight to Jinbao for a meal, then to Langtaosha. I’ve told them everything; you must have a good time." Qiaoqiao said.

"And then, in the next couple of days, if you think of it, come and see me. I’m afraid I’ll get bored here, right?"

"Don’t worry. If Director Liu doesn’t have time for you, we have plenty of time." Chu Wanting said with a smile.

"Hehe, Tingting, Yanzi, take good care of everyone for me." Qiaoqiao said with a big smile.

This whole crowd leaving with a bang really made the room more spacious.

"Qiaoqiao’s friends are all quite nice, very genuine." Liu Qingdong said.

"They’re all young. Qiaoqiao is the first to have a baby among them. In the future, our little one will have a lot of people cherishing them." Liu Banxia said.

"Madam Teacher, Madam Teacher, we’re here!"

Just after Liu Banxia finished speaking, Liu Yiqing and Xu Yino’s voices were heard coming in from outside.

"So rowdy. Have all the pre-op checks for the patients been done? I got delayed this morning; doing three surgeries in the afternoon will surely keep me late." Liu Banxia said.

"Madam Teacher, look, is this even livable? Keeping on rushing us, I’m practically kicking myself in the back, you have to help us!" Xu Yino started to complain.

"That’s not possible; these small things are his own responsibility. Tell you what, come to my place for lunch, I have lots of delicious foods here." Qiaoqiao said.

"See? That’s my beloved wife." Liu Banxia said proudly.

"Later, a batch of goods will come in, fruits bought for all the departments, lead someone to help distribute when they arrive. All arranged by Qiaoqiao, I’m not sure what there is."

"Hehe, no problem, consider it done." Xu Yino replied cheerfully.

"Since you’re here anyway, you two help carry these to the OB/GYN. I’ll come over with Qiaoqiao once you’re done." Liu Banxia continued.

"Oh dear, why do you keep asking them to do stuff." Qiaoqiao spoke up.

"Leave it for now, young girls don’t do heavy lifting. Call Su Wenhao and the others to help later. Everyone will eat lunch at my place; there’s a lot of delicious food."

For Qiaoqiao, the worst thing was being alone; otherwise, she wouldn’t have chosen the second hospital’s emergency center to wait for the birth.

There was really no choice, but this was Liu Banxia’s place, it allowed more leeway.

Her mood was great now, even though the ward was chaotic, she was happy.

Since her mood was uplifted, Liu Banxia was at ease too. This phase, Qiaoqiao wasn’t easy to coax otherwise.
