Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 975: Chapter 975 Emergency

Zhang Huan froze for a moment. His junior sister always had some ideas up her sleeve; who knows what she was planning now.

"Director Xu works in Emergency Surgery. As his student, you’ll need to intern in the emergency department, which has no connection with our operating room. You might not get to touch a surgical scalpel for the whole year. Are you willing to spend an entire year in the emergency department?"

He couldn’t bear to let Bai Xiao’s talents go to waste.

Bai Xiao shook her head. "Director Zhang, it’s precisely because it’s the emergency department that I want to go. My surgical techniques still lack in many areas. I don’t want to be a surgeon who only knows how to hold a scalpel but is clueless about everything else. What I want out of this year’s internship is to rotate through all the departments in Ruiyin, and I hope to achieve that."

As soon as she spoke, Zhang Huan and all the doctors burst into laughter.

Even He Xin chuckled.

Such bragging!

It didn’t even occur to her that learning across all departments wasn’t practical. She was a surgeon, and when she rotated to Internal Medicine, her starting point would be different from the interns there. Even with a year, she couldn’t possibly cover all departments.

"Bai Xiao, your idea is admirable, but a year simply isn’t enough for you to learn across all departments. Doctors need to specialize rather than spread themselves thin. To master a single field to its fullest is already considered remarkable. Human energy is finite, and no one can truly excel in every medical discipline."

Bai Xiao, I’m not trying to discourage you; I’m just offering you realistic advice."

This junior sister was still too young.

"That’s precisely why, Director Zhang, I want to go to the emergency department. There, it’s possible to work across disciplines. Whether it’s consulting with doctors from other specialties, I can gain rich experience. Please forgive my ignorance and grant me this opportunity." Of course, Bai Xiao wasn’t truly ignorant. It was because she understood this fact that she insisted on going to the emergency department.

The scope for advancement in Surgery lies mostly in refining surgical techniques.

But the dreams others yearn for are mere conveniences for her.

The issue was she was no longer satisfied with excelling solely in surgical operations. In the field of Surgery, as long as her special ability came into play, any complex procedure ceased to hold any mystery for her.

With her special ability, every surgical scalpel seemed to carry extraordinary capabilities. Whatever microscopes or the naked eye could discern was trivial in her presence. Under her special ability, any minor detail would unfold before her like a vivid, detailed blueprint.

Now, she wanted to touch upon more areas, to use her special ability in practical applications and explore new possibilities.

If she wanted to be a doctor, to heal and save lives, to embody the benevolence of a healer—

She aimed to use her limited time to accomplish what others could not. That was her true self.

Zhang Huan was stunned. He hadn’t expected his junior sister’s perspective to be utterly different from his own.

The Bai Xiao standing before him was nothing like him.

Once, he too had been full of passion, dreaming of becoming a renowned doctor. But after stepping into Surgery and delving deeply into operations, his horizon and aspirations narrowed to a single field. To excel, one had to aim for the pinnacle in that discipline, and reaching the top demanded relentless focus and effort.

But Bai Xiao was entirely different. Her talent was such that she could master a complex specialty within a year, perhaps even half a year.

If Bai Xiao truly possessed such remarkable talents, restricting her to Surgery would indeed be a waste.

Perhaps Bai Xiao wasn’t like the rest of them. Perhaps a truly versatile doctor could emerge after all.

In that case, why not give Bai Xiao a chance?

"Alright, I approve of Dr. Bai’s internship under Director Xu in the emergency department. However, Bai Xiao, Surgery is still your home base. Don’t forget about the surgical department. I hope that whenever you have the time, you’ll continue to assist with patients and operations here in Surgery."

He resolved to make things as convenient as possible for his junior sister.

"Understood. Thank you, Director Zhang!"

Director Xu was thrilled. He’d heard plenty about Bai Xiao, a reputed genius. Yet here she was, willing to take on emergency work—a duty few were eager for.

It was exhausting, and hardly a place to gain deep expertise. Sure, there were plenty of opportunities for suturing and wound dressing, but that was about it.

"Alright, Dr. Bai. I think highly of you. As your mentor, I’ll make sure to teach you properly. But to be honest, with Dr. Xue as your tutor, where does that leave me as a teacher?"

"Director Xu, don’t be so modest. I’ve heard you’re an expert in emergency surgery, unmatched in skill and authority to this day. Your expertise in emergency procedures and critical care makes you a unique figure in the emergency department. Learning under you will greatly accelerate my progress. You more than deserve the title of ’Teacher Xu.’"

Everyone chuckled.

Bai Xiao’s humility instantly bridged the gap between her and the interns. Previously, many had assumed she relied on connections to secure her position. Now it was clear she’d voluntarily chosen this path, even relinquishing the coveted spot in Surgery under Zhang Yidao’s mentorship. What kind of move was this?

A supposed "connection" who displayed no arrogance over it, contrasting sharply with He Xin’s audacious demeanor.

It felt like He Xin couldn’t hold a candle to Bai Xiao.

Even He Xin’s face grew flushed with embarrassment. noveldrama

She had always regarded Bai Xiao as her rival. Her snarky comments were meant to undermine Bai Xiao, even if she couldn’t earn Zhang Huan’s mentorship herself. At least she could throw Bai Xiao off balance, making things uncomfortable for her.

After all, she wouldn’t lose anything. Surely Bai Xiao had landed a spot under Zhang Huan through connections; otherwise, how could she outrank He Xin in the rotation?

She didn’t think it was bullying.

The result was far beyond her expectations. Bai Xiao showed no arrogance whatsoever, and her motives were entirely different.

She simply wanted to learn more medical skills.

Faced with this, shame overcame He Xin.

"Director Zhang, I also wish to train under Director Xu. I want to, like Bai Xiao, become a competent and versatile doctor."

This time, her words were sincere, without any trace of spite.

If others could achieve it, what reason did she have not to? They were all interns. Why should she lag behind?

Zhang Huan laughed, "Well! I didn’t expect this year’s interns to have such ambition. Good, I hope all of you stick to your goals. The emergency department is unlike any other—it’s gruelling, heavy on workload, and requires rapid responses, not to mention its distinct emergency protocols. The intensity of labor is brutal. I hope none of you end up crying and demanding to leave the emergency department one day."

He truly hoped the interns wouldn’t mistake their expectations for reality, as the reality was far less glamorous.

"Understood! We’re ready," He Xin and Bai Xiao responded in unison.
