After making a round around the inpatient department, Liu Banxia is now somewhat acquainted with everyone from different departments.

Currently, he is at least a deputy director. Even though he can't quite compare with deputy directors from major departments, there's not much difference.

This is also a very practical issue, with the badge of deputy director of the emergency center, you deserve to be given the appropriate respect.

Of course, when he arrived at orthopedics and saw Director Xu Peichen, he was just at a school kid level. Not to mention him, even Zhou Shuwen has to behave properly.

Respecting teachers and valuing traditions is not just empty talk; respecting hierarchy can't be overturned all at once.

Xu Peichen has the medical skills and seniority; he should be respected.

"How's the deputy director doing? You're a leader now," Xu Peichen joked.

"Director Xu, what kind of deputy director am I? I'm just here to improve the logistics for everyone," Liu Banxia said with some embarrassment.

"Then you should make more time to learn surgical knowledge in orthopedics. Ming Yu said you haven't been watching him perform surgeries recently," Xu Peichen said.

"Lately, I've been a bit annoyed by the deputy director role. Once I sort out my tasks, I'll study seriously," Liu Banxia quickly replied.

"But I've watched some orthopedic surgeries and they seem quite challenging, almost made me want to back out. I need to take it slow; otherwise, it'll be too much to chew."

Xu Peichen nodded, "Having such a mindset is great. Whatever you do, it should be done gradually. Your experience in bone-setting will yield twice the result with half the effort in orthopedic surgeries."

"Especially in some joint replacement surgeries, your adjustment will be more precise, leading to better patient outcomes. Don't let your skills go to waste."

"I wonder why you're doing that bothersome deputy director work? Come join our orthopedics; I'll give you a deputy director position. Just focus on surgeries."

Despite sounding dismissive, Xu Peichen's words were highly affirming for Liu Banxia.

He has high standards, and if he didn't think Liu Banxia had potential, he wouldn't have bothered with him. However, those in orthopedics covet not Liu Banxia's deputy director title, but the attention from Xu Peichen.

Actually, many people knew that it wasn't just Xu Peichen who valued Liu Banxia; even Chief Director Li from cardiology saw potential in him, and that said a lot.

The visit was mainly for greetings and a bit of networking. After chatting with Xu Peichen for a while, the mission was a success. As it was mealtime, they happily went to eat.

"Director Liu, Director Liu, you finally came. What's wrong? Are you worried our chopsticks aren't sanitary? We take care of them; don't worry," Zhou Qiang stopped him anxiously as soon as he entered the dining hall.

"No, why would I think your place isn't sanitary? Have you seen them using tiny chopsticks?" Liu Banxia smiled and asked.

Zhou Qiang nodded, feeling more at ease, realizing he misunderstood.

"That's to train their hand strength and control. Don't worry, just serve me like usual; I'll also eat with tiny chopsticks," Liu Banxia said.

"You really don't find our chopsticks unsanitary?" Zhou Qiang asked again.

"Of course not. If I did, I'd think the food isn't clean either," Liu Banxia said helplessly.

Now Zhou Qiang felt truly relieved; the brothers and sisters of the emergency center definitely support the dining hall wholeheartedly. Under Liu Banxia's lead, everyone is dedicated to chomping down meals.

When Liu Banxia finished collecting his meal, he saw Xu Yino and others gathered at a table, and he confidently joined them.

Usually, Xu Yino would greet him enthusiastically, but she was in a bit of a mood today. Using the tiny chopsticks wasn't much trouble, but Liu Banxia added conditions – no dropping food.

Even with normal chopsticks, you'd still drop food, and now eating felt almost torturous. You had to be cautious about gripping, and couldn't grab too much.

"No need to be so careful, be bold. Peanuts are freshly fried today, very fragrant and appetizing," Liu Banxia said smiling.

"Teacher Liu, can you stop teasing us?" Xu Yino protested earnestly.

"This is for your benefit, and I'm not tormenting you; I'm also using tiny chopsticks," Liu Banxia said.

"Soon enough, I'll get even smaller chopsticks. Once you master them, we'll switch to toothpicks. That'll be something!"

"Imagine being able to eat with toothpicks; it would mean your hands are incredibly steady and your fingers extremely agile. Whatever you do, it'll be great!"

"Teacher Liu, can we take it one step at a time?" Xu Yino sighed with a laugh.

Thinking and jumping to the wrong conclusions, don't think Liu Banxia is joking; he truly might attempt such things. He's known as the great demon king; you can't even think of what he dares not to do.

The interns nearby felt it too, sensing their internship in the emergency center might not be as "delightful" as imagined.

They needed to ponder how to learn medical skills while also being wary of Teacher Liu, making daily life seem quite challenging.

Today, this new training wasn't limited to the general surgery team, but other departments too.

As they were eating, the interns from neurology and cardiology also came to eat. After getting their meals, each of them took out a pair of small chopsticks and sat at the dining table "slowly" eating, creating quite a charming scene.

It was really eye-catching. One person, two people might not have been much. But now? Several tables had this setup.

"Goodness, I don't think I brought so many small chopsticks?" Liu Banxia said after taking a look.

"Teacher Qi just sent Li Hao out to buy some." Xu Yino said weakly.

She felt somewhat regretful; today she forgot and shouldn't have chosen stir-fried shredded potatoes. She usually likes it, but today it seemed to be working against her.

"It's great, a nationwide workout, very nice." Liu Banxia said with a smile.

However, perhaps his smugness was too much, as the peanut he had just picked up fell down. Seeing this, Xu Yino was delighted, feeling it was a chance, an opportunity for a little revenge.

But what she didn't expect was that just before the peanut fell onto the dish, Liu Banxia managed to catch it accurately again.

This left not only Xu Yino but even Liu Banxia himself stunned.

Was his eye-hand coordination really so precise? Impossible!

"Teacher Liu, do you have to crush us like this? How are we supposed to live?" Xu Yino erupted.

Bullying people shouldn't be like this; it was definitely intentional. Showing off again, no one else could do this, but for the 'Demon King' Liu, it's just routine.

"I was unjustly accused; I just caught it as a reflex, not sure if I could do it again." Liu Banxia said after eating the peanut.

This was his honest truth; he was somewhat surprised too. But his honesty really had no one believing him.

"Why are you all looking at me like that? The difficulty level is too high, I truly caught it unintentionally." Liu Banxia said helplessly.

Xu Yino pouted, and the other interns were all full of disbelief.

"What's up? Even eating is so lively?" At this time, Wang Chao also came over with his tray.

The table was already crowded, he couldn't just take someone else's spot.

"Teacher Wang, can you catch a falling peanut?" Xu Yino asked.

Wang Chao paused, looked at Liu Banxia, and said, "I definitely can't, that's not something people can do."

"Troublemaker." Liu Banxia helplessly glared at him.

This was said for him, this was being a troublemaker.

He really was innocent, it was truly an unintentional act.

But now he couldn't prove his innocence.

How could you prove it? Try again, and if you catch it, it would be affirmed, if you don't catch it, they'll say you did it deliberately.

This might be the feeling of jumping into the Yellow River and still being unable to wash clean, leaving Liu Banxia troubled.

"Actually, not only should you control your fingers well, but you should also speed up the eating pace. Otherwise, taking an hour for a meal, where's the time to rest?" Wang Chao leaned in again and said.

"Exactly, the food is getting cold." Liu Yiqing couldn't help but complain.

"Hahaha, take it slow, you can't become fat in one bite, don't set such high standards for yourselves." Liu Banxia said happily.

The old saying isn't wrong, happiness is built upon the pain of others. Anyway, he feels that using chopsticks now isn't much affected; he eats as he usually does.

Maybe it's the psychological pressure on this group that's too much, wanting to get it right on the first try, which is counterproductive.

The atmosphere at the table changed too, with Xu Yino and her group practically eating a bite while watching Liu Banxia, almost seeing him drop some food.

As for Liu Banxia? He was very cautious and wouldn't pick too much food. He didn't want to stumble and had to maintain his moment of glory.

"It looks easy, but when actually used, it's not so smooth." Liu Yiqing said.

"Don't worry, everyone is practicing with you; you'll get it." Liu Banxia said with great conviction.

The other interns, helpless as they were, didn't even know they were caught up in it, really having nothing to do with them.

But that doesn't matter anymore; the result now is they have to practice.

It could be said to be a bit absurd; originally just a prank-like little game, now it's being promoted in the entire surgical emergency center, which becomes quite interesting.
