Chapter 74, Gratitude and Busyness

At 1:30 in the afternoon, Zhao Mancang could finally take a break.

"Three people died. If we had arrived at the scene earlier, I'm afraid they wouldn't have died."

"Xiao Zhao, you don't have to blame yourself. You're already very capable. You saved the eight most seriously injured people and saved their lives. If it were me, I would probably only be able to save two people at most."

Hearing Zhao Mancang's self-blaming words, Peng Wenxian couldn't help but comfort him, with a very complicated expression on his face.

He was also a very skilled doctor in Union Hospital, but when compared with Zhao Mancang, he was instantly outdone.

Zhao Mancang seemed to have a natural sensitivity in dealing with casualties in these emergencies, and the cross-body bag he carried with him seemed like a treasure chest, containing everything.

Eight patients with extremely serious injuries were all rescued thanks to Zhao Mancang's rapid wound treatment.

First-class efficiency.

"Xiao Zhao, have you taken care of everything? Let's go eat first."

Before Zhao Mancang could continue speaking, Yang Shourong came over.

The group arrived at the chemical plant canteen, where food had already been prepared.

During the meal, Gao Chongxi's face was full of gratitude, and he kept toasting Zhao Mancang with water instead of wine.

In the past hour or so, he saw everything Zhao Mancang did.

According to Peng Wenxian, if it weren't for Zhao Mancang, there would be more people dying at the scene today.

The cause of the laboratory explosion is still under investigation, but if more scientific researchers can be rescued, it will be a good thing for the chemical plant leaders.

Gao Chongxi was originally a chemical reagent expert, but after merging with Yixin Chemical Factory and other units, he became a pure scientific researcher.

Although he is said to be the leader of the chemical plant, he actually has almost no business doing anything and is more of a figurehead.

However, even so, Gao Chongxi was more worried than anyone else when something happened at the chemical plant.

There are very few chemical plants in the entire capital, and even in the whole country. Apart from those in the Northeast, there are only chemical plants in the capital.

Now the chemical plant has suffered heavy losses due to this explosion.

It would take at least half a year or a year to recover.

Talent is rare!
Fortunately, Zhao Mancang took action and rescued eight capable but seriously injured scientific researchers, so no matter what, Gao Chongxi was very grateful to the former.

"Comrade Gao, you are too polite. I am just doing my best."

Zhao Mancang was polite and modest. It was his first time dealing with these scientific researchers, and he thought that they were not as arrogant and cold as he had imagined.

Still quite enthusiastic!

Since we had something to do later, we ate lunch very quickly and it was over in less than twenty minutes.

If Gao Chongxi hadn't kept thanking them, Zhao Mancang and the others would have been able to finish their lunch even faster.

After lunch, Zhao Mancang, Peng Wenxian and others checked all the injured again before arranging cars to take them all to Union Hospital.

At this point, Zhao Mancang no longer needs to follow up on the rest of the matters.

However, since he had come to Union Hospital, he might as well follow up on the five injured patients he had seen before, so that he could have a beginning and an end.

Union Hospital is extremely busy today.

No one came to help Zhao Mancang with his assessment. When Zhao Mancang was about to leave Union Hospital, he happened to run into Qu Guochun, the vice president.

The latter was quite surprised when he saw him. After a brief chat, he said to Zhao Mancang:
"I'm sorry, Comrade Zhao Mancang, your assessment may have to be postponed. But don't worry, I'll talk to Xiao Peng about your assistance at the chemical plant today."

"Thank you, Dean Qu. My business is not urgent. You should go ahead and do your work."

Zhao Mancang cannot force it, nor will he force these things.

The assessment for a level 10 attending physician is not easy to begin with, not to mention that he started his career late, instead of taking it step by step, he went straight to a level 10 attending physician.

Therefore, he could understand the ups and downs of the assessment process.

On the way back to the steel mill, Yang Shourong suddenly said:
"Xiao Zhao, in my opinion, you are already a qualified doctor. Judging from your performance today, I believe Secretary Xing and Director Shen will definitely give you a thumbs up."

"Our steel plant really needs people like you to guard it. Only in this way can we avoid similar incidents where workers have to watch helplessly because they cannot get timely treatment."

In response to Director Yang's praise, Zhao Mancang naturally made a few humble and polite remarks.

He was happy to stay in the steel mill because it was not that busy.

If it were at Union Hospital, being as busy as today would definitely be the norm.

Although at this time in 1958, there was no such thing as an emergency room and many departments in the hospital were not well-established.

But it is definitely true that it is busy, especially for an institution like Union Hospital. If it were not busy, the hospital's reputation would probably plummet.

After returning to the steel plant, Zhao Mancang had nothing to do.

In fact, if it weren't for the chemical plant incident, he would probably have been fine this afternoon.

Just stare blankly for a while now, and then you can go home after get off work.

However, not long after, Jiang Dayong came over.

"I say, Lao Zhao, you were so mean yesterday. You actually left me alone and left first, and you didn't even know it."

Jiang Dayong's face was full of resentment and he looked a little tired. It was obvious that he had not fully recovered yet.

The night before yesterday, Zhao Mancang was forced to drink a lot of old wine, even Jiang Dayong didn’t have that much.

However, Zhao Mancang has fully recovered and even drank more than a bottle of Fenjiu with his future father-in-law Lin Guohua last night. As a result, he looks energetic today and does not look tired at all.

Therefore, Jiang Dayong's body should be weak.

Although he came to this conclusion, Zhao Mancang did not tell the other party about it. He would not say such low EQ words.

He pleaded for mercy and said a few humble words before sending Jiang Dayong away.

At this time, the bell for the end of get off work rang. Zhao Mancang looked up at the big clock on the wall of the office. It was really time.

Ride the 28-inch bicycle and go home.

However, before going home, he had to go to Heizhima Hutong in Nanluoguxiang, not only to meet Lin Wan and fulfill the agreement with Lin Huijun, but also to communicate with his father-in-law and others about arranging his brother-in-law as a temporary worker in the steel plant.

On the way back to the city, two net bags filled with a lot of gifts appeared on the empty handlebars of the bicycle.

When he arrived at the alley of Heizhima Hutong, Lin Huijun had been waiting at the door with her aunt Lin Shuxian for a while.
