Chapter 838: Chapter 335: Director Hu’s Request, Jin Mingxi’s Great Opportunity

“Old Jin, I’m introducing you to a golden opportunity, quickly come to the office of the director of Cardiothoracic Surgery.”

“I’m working overtime here!”

Jin Mingxi had no idea what opportunity Zhou Can was referring to.

He is still in his training period, working overtime non-stop every day. He’s rotating through various surgical departments, and both Anesthesiology and Radiology are mandatory departments.

Surgeons typically choose to enter the Radiology department in the fourth-last month of their training, study there for a month, and then return to their selected department to complete the last three months of training, paving the way for becoming a Resident Doctor officially.

Compared to the excellent benefits Zhou Can receives, Jin Mingxi’s benefits are quite lacking.

Night shifts are a common occurrence.

“Can’t you take a leave? Hurry up, don’t dawdle, this kind of opportunity won’t come again once missed.”

Zhou Can was truly at a loss with Jin Mingxi. This was a chance to be Director Hu Kan’s successor! Not to mention, many outstanding doctors were vying for this opportunity.

“Being all mysterious, what exactly is this opportunity? Alright, alright, I’ll be there right away!”

After hanging up the phone, Jin Mingxi hurried over, short of breath, not long after.

He knocked on the door and found that the person opening it was actually Zhou Can.

Sitting inside was the Hu Director, whom he admired the most.

“Hello, Director Hu!”

Jin Mingxi was extremely nervous, stuttering in his speech. He didn’t know where to place his hands.

“Is it him?”

Director Hu Kan frowned intensely at Jin Mingxi.

Not only was he a bit on the older side, but his psychological resilience couldn’t compare to Zhou Can’s calm and poised demeanor.

“Yes, it’s him! Perhaps because he’s never been in much of a big scene, and added that he’s always regarded you as his idol, so his emotions are a bit excited.”

Zhou Can hurriedly spoke well of Jin Mingxi.

After explaining to Director Hu Kan, he turned his head to look at Jin Mingxi.

“What are you nervous for!”

While giving Jin Mingxi a look, he quietly cursed at him.

“Perform well; once you pass Director Hu’s test, you can achieve your ultimate dream!”

At almost thirty-seven, Jin Mingxi heard the deeper meaning in Zhou Can’s words. He pinched himself hard twice, using the pain to alleviate his inner nervousness.

“Director Hu, sorry to make a fool of myself! Ever since I saw your style at a morning meeting once, I’ve always regarded you as my idol, so I couldn’t help but get a bit excited and nervous when I didn’t expect to see you after coming in just now.”

After coming back to his senses, Jin Mingxi’s performance gradually returned to normal standards.

Not to mention, his explanation was quite good.

He was sincere in his tone, and his gaze was calm.

“Everyone has two nostrils, two eyes, and a mouth, there’s no need to be nervous. Have a seat!”

Director Hu Kan’s expression softened a bit, indicating for Jin Mingxi to sit down and talk.

This was a good start.

At least it showed that his impression of Jin Mingxi had greatly changed. When Jin Mingxi first walked in, from Director Hu Kan’s tone and expression, it was entirely a sign of getting ready to kick someone out directly.

“Xiao Zhou recommended you to me, saying your skills in steadiness are quite good.”

“I don’t dare to claim the words ‘quite good’, I just really enjoy practicing your steadiness skills.” Jin Mingxi replied honestly.

“Oh! You’ve been practicing steadiness?” Director Hu Kan’s eyes lit up slightly.

“Practicing for almost two years. Initially, after seeing your display of steadiness skills at that morning meeting, I later pleaded with Dr. Xu to teach me, and gradually I started practicing.”

Back then, Jin Mingxi originally wanted to take the quick knife route, but unfortunately, he didn’t have the talent for it.

After switching to steadiness practice, it seemed like he found the right path.

It must be said, everyone has their own opportunities and fortune.

If the east window doesn’t shine, the west window will; there is always a development path suitable for oneself.

“Come over here and trace this line I’ve drawn exactly as it is.”

Director Hu Kan took a pen and randomly drew a wavy long line on a piece of white paper.

His hand naturally trembled, and the line drawn was practically a natural wave shape.

Trying to imitate and draw an identical line had quite the difficulty level.

This imitation method of drawing lines is commonly used by art students to practice their foundation skills.

At this moment, Director Hu Kan used it to test whether Jin Mingxi indeed had steady hands.

Jin Mingxi walked to the desk, picked up a pen, took a deep breath, and began to mimic Director Hu Kan’s stroke to draw an identical line.

Although there were some discrepancies, his hand was very steady.

Professionals can tell right away.

Director Hu Kan has practiced steadiness skills for a lifetime and could immediately see that Jin Mingxi’s steadiness had reached a certain level of expertise.

“Not bad! With your hand skill, you couldn’t have achieved this in just one or two years. It must be at least seven or eight years of skill.” Director Hu Kan’s face rarely showed a hint of a smile.
