78: I can find another job, but my sister is the only relative left!
Chapter 078: Jobs can be found again, but family is only a sister!
Lin Yi also knew that treating Lu Chenxi so stubbornly was a bit cruel.
After all, she was only enforcing Hospital regulations, not deliberately making things difficult for him.
But as a doctor, Lin Yi knew even better.
How terrifying it would be if colleagues or the Hospital found out that he had a sister suffering from dilated cardiomyopathy, and that their family also had a family history of dilated cardiomyopathy...
According to medical common sense, both Lin Yi's father and sister had been diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy.
Then the probability of him inheriting this disease, if not one hundred percent, would be at least eighty to ninety percent.
A doctor who could have a dilated cardiomyopathy attack at any time would certainly be treated differently by the Hospital.
At least for some important surgeries, Lin Yi would inevitably lose the qualification to be the chief surgeon.
It would be perfectly normal to assign him to do odd jobs or even unimportant tasks...
If such a situation were to occur, how could Lin Yi's system upgrade, and the efficiency of saving money would also drop to its lowest.
If the system couldn't upgrade quickly, he wouldn't be able to find a cure for dilated cardiomyopathy.
Having a treatment plan but not enough financial support, that would be the most desperate situation.
No matter what, Lin Yi would not let this worst-case scenario happen.
This was also the real reason he couldn't explain to Lu Chenxi why he couldn't take night shifts...
What's more!
Jobs could be found again, but family was only a sister.
Having been reborn, how could Lin Yi allow regrets to reappear.
Especially his sister's illness; leaving her alone at home late at night, and so far from the Hospital.
If something unexpected really happened, Lin Yi wouldn't be able to rush over immediately...
"Why are you suddenly talking about resigning?"
"The Emergency Department is about to give you important responsibilities; you absolutely cannot just quit!"
As Director Zhong Xibei entered the office, he heard Lin Yi clamoring about resigning and quickly stopped him with a stern voice.
Even if the Emergency Department got ten more resident doctors, they might not be as efficient as Lin Yi alone.
If such a talent were allowed to leave, Director Zhong Xibei would surely regret it immensely...
"Director, I was just about to come to you to reason."
"This guy violates the basic rules of the department; he absolutely refuses to take night shifts."
"He keeps emphasizing that he has family matters and must return home immediately after getting off work in the evening."
Seeing that the Director had arrived, Lu Chenxi felt like she had found an organization and immediately poured out her grievances.
Lin Yi was also stubborn, constantly threatening her with resignation.
Could he not speak properly?
If he found a decent reason, giving both sides a way out, this matter would have passed.
If someone as talented as Lin Yi was really forced to leave, Director Zhong would surely come after her...
"Isn't it just about going home after work and not being able to take night shifts?"
"You two, really..." Director Zhong Xibei shook his head, exasperated.
From Lin Yi's various performances since he arrived, he could tell.
This guy was as stubborn as a mule, no better than Lu Chenxi.
When these two were on the operating table, their technical cooperation was absolutely impeccable.
But in reality, one wouldn't yield to the other, and they definitely wouldn't get along.
Sure enough, after only two days, they had already created a tense, head-to-head situation...
"Lin Yi, you go back first."
"After all, you've just joined the Hospital, and there's a period of adjustment."
"The matter of not taking night shifts for a short period, I, as the Director, approve it."
Director Zhong Xibei waved his hand without hesitation, telling Lin Yi to go home.
If everyone handled problems like Lu Chenxi, only recognizing rigid rules, then the entire Emergency Department would be filled with conflict...
"Director, you are just encouraging the bad habits of young people."
Seeing Lin Yi exit the office door, Lu Chenxi finally breathed a sigh of relief and pouted, complaining to the Director.
"Lu Chenxi, you also need to change this stubborn, inflexible habit of yours."
"How can you jump to conclusions before the matter has been thoroughly investigated!"
"He said he had family matters; must it be an excuse? Why can't you be more understanding of a colleague?"
Director Zhong Xibei's face darkened, and his voice was even louder than Lu Chenxi's.
He almost pushed his treasure doctor away, and she still dared to get angry at him, an old man!
"Furthermore, this is only Lin Yi's second day working at the Hospital."
"You have to give people some time to adapt."
"You wouldn't want your students to secretly say you're a stern-faced Bao Gong, would you?"
Seeing Lu Chenxi's mouth open, eager to argue, Director Zhong Xibei immediately put his foot down, bringing the matter to a close.
"Alright, Lin Yi's matter is settled."
"As for night shifts, let's talk about it in a month or so..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Director Zhong pretended to be very busy, muttering to himself as he hurriedly left the office.
"If you're so willing to spoil your subordinates, I wonder if you'll be able to control them in the future..."
Watching Director Zhong Xibei's retreating figure, Lu Chenxi shook her head, grumbled to herself, and then immediately shifted her attention to the documents at hand.
The Director had already agreed; why should she worry about it...
"Brother, you're back! Was your second day at work smooth?"
As Lin Yi entered the house, his sister Lin Qian immediately scurried over.
She busied herself with fetching slippers, putting away his bag, and pouring tea.
"With your brother personally in charge, how could it not be smooth!"
In front of his sister, Lin Yi always maintained a tall, radiant, positive image.
"Brother, you watch TV for a bit, dinner will be ready soon."
After settling Lin Yi, Lin Qian tied on a floral apron and hurried back to the kitchen.
"Braised hairtail..."
As the kitchen door opened and closed, a familiar aroma wafted into Lin Yi's nostrils.
"The taste of money is still the best!"
As he took a deep breath, Lin Yi secretly sighed with emotion.
For the past few years, due to their family's financial struggles, the siblings rarely saw meat apart from cabbage, tofu, and shredded potatoes.
These past two days, they were finally a bit more affluent; yesterday's steamed pork with preserved vegetables, today's braised hairtail.
The return of the long-lost aroma made Lin Yi realize how exquisite his sister's cooking was.
How fortunate it was to be able to eat a delicious meal every day after work...
Upholding the Lin family's tradition, whether rich or poor, not a single grain of food was ever wasted.
The siblings devoured the food like a whirlwind; in a short while, the three dishes and one soup on the table were completely gone.
Cleaning up, watching dramas together...
At 9:30 PM, after making sure his sister had entered her bedroom, Lin Yi returned to his small bed on the living room balcony to tally his gains for the day.
"Today, I received a total of 7800 yuan in monetary rewards, more than double yesterday's!"
Looking at the balance on his bank card, which had perfectly broken the ten-thousand mark, Lin Yi began to ponder.
After saving a few more days' worth of money, he could rent a larger, nicer apartment near the Hospital.
While improving their living environment, he could also take better care of his sister...
After all, working at the Hospital, Lin Yi didn't want to appear too special.
If he could live near the Hospital, even if he absolutely had to take night shifts, if his sister really had any problems, he could get there immediately...
"Master-level Suturing Technique is still 18% experience short, which means 18 more sutures to upgrade to Perfect-level."
"If I get one or two more surgeries tomorrow, I believe upgrading to Perfect-level shouldn't be a problem!"
Suturing Technique was the only medical skill Lin Yi possessed that was immediately approaching Perfect-level.
Master-level Suturing Technique was already terrifyingly good.
How much more exaggerated could Perfect-level be? Lin Yi was also very much looking forward to it.
"[Detected that the host has one Master-level blind box. Do you want to open it now?]"
"Open immediately!"
Lin Yi suddenly sat up from the bed, eagerly issuing the command to open it.
