Chapter 340: Uneasy, protecting parents from the storm
Pediatrics is Director Tang Fei's territory, and she is well-informed.
She knew it just because Zhou Can came over for a visit.
"Are you a graduate student or an intern?" Zhou Can asked as he followed her to Director Tang's office.
"Internship! The postgraduate entrance exam is too difficult. I plan to go directly to work after graduation." The female intern seemed a little shy and introverted, with her head down.
"It's very difficult for an undergraduate to become a doctor! If possible, it is recommended that you take a postgraduate entrance examination before working in a hospital." Zhou Can warned her as a person with experience.
Because of his low educational level, Zhou Can suffered a lot of losses and was wronged a lot.
Even now, he is already very impressive, but compared with overseas PhD students like Du Leng, he is still at a great disadvantage.
Du Leng is now an attending physician, while Zhou Can is still at the level of resident doctor in training. This is the gap caused by academic qualifications.
For some things, you can make up for the gap in academic qualifications by redoubled efforts. But for some things, no matter how hard you try, it will be useless.
"I just can't pass the exam! Besides, Brother Zhou has set an example for all of us undergraduates. Many of our juniors and seniors in the school take you as their role model! We believe that as long as we work hard, we will definitely be able to excel and be no worse than those graduate students."
This time she looked up at Zhou Can bravely.
The admiration in his eyes made Zhou Can feel embarrassed.
"You are also a student of Tuya College?" Zhou Can looked at her in surprise.
He was estimated to be about 1.58 meters tall, with short shoulder-length hair and a pair of brown glasses. His eyes were quite lively.
"Yes, I am two years younger than you. I am a senior this year and your junior and schoolmate." She smiled brightly.
Zhou Can was in a daze for a moment. Unknowingly, it had been two years since he graduated from school.
He had become an idol admired by his junior classmates, which was unexpected.
Most people are like him. After graduation, they are too busy with work to pay attention to their alma mater.
"Looking at your youthful smile, I seem to see my old self. Since you call me senior, I must tell you seriously as a teacher that academic qualifications are not everything, but they are very important. As long as you can take the postgraduate entrance examination, I strongly recommend that you do so. Even for me, once my work becomes more stable and I have more time and energy, I will definitely embark on the road of taking the postgraduate entrance examination while working."
Because of his special status, he has many chief doctors from hospitals to protect him. By then, it will be much easier for him to pass the postgraduate entrance examination than ordinary people.
When he was a senior in college, he really couldn't pass the exam.
Just because he has this opportunity after working doesn’t mean others have the same.
This junior schoolmate did not take the postgraduate entrance examination when she was studying, and it will be even more difficult for her to take the examination after she starts working.
"Okay then! I will consider this matter carefully." She nodded seriously.
However, taking the postgraduate entrance examination is not only difficult, but also financially stressful. She definitely needs to consider this matter carefully.
Zhou Can had already arrived at the department director's office.
Knock politely.
Boom boom boom!
"Come in!"
Director Tang was looking down at the documents. As the head of the department and the leader of the discipline, she had too many things to take care of.
"Director Tang, you're looking for me?"
"Doctor Zhou, please take a seat!" She was extremely polite to Zhou Can. "I heard that Doctor Zhou received a banner from the family, right?"
“The last patient who was infected with the new Bunyavirus insisted on giving me a banner after he recovered and was discharged from the hospital.” Zhou Can waved the rolled banner in his hand.
"This is a good thing! I asked you to come here to discuss this matter. You are still in the training stage and need to rotate in multiple departments. I suggest you hang the banner directly in the No. 17 clinic. Anyway, you will be in that clinic every Wednesday. Hanging a banner can increase the trust of family members and patients in you."
She gave Zhou Can a good suggestion.
At present, Zhou Can has seen patients in the pediatric department twice, and the results were quite good.
The number of patients who specifically make an appointment with him basically remains above ten per day.
"Your suggestion is good, but will hanging the banner there affect other doctors?" Zhou Can is well aware of the ugliness of human nature.
Some people just can't stand seeing others do better than them.
His banner was specially hung in outpatient room No. 17 for fear that someone would get conjunctivitis.
"Not only will it have no impact on other doctors, but it will only benefit them. Give the banner to me and I will arrange someone to hang it up later." Director Tang Fei made the decision in a domineering manner, relieving Zhou Can's worries.
The department director personally ordered the execution, so who would dare to do anything tricky?
Outpatient Clinic No. 17 is just an ordinary consulting room, and the doctors who see patients are basically at the attending physician level.
I believe that no blind doctor would dare to put eye drops in Director Tang Fei's eyes.
At this time, Zhou Can's cell phone rang.
I took it out and looked down, it was my mother calling.
"Director Tang, if there is nothing else, I won't bother you anymore!"
"Haha, this is a call from your girlfriend, right? Go answer it. Remember to make daily rounds on the patients you are responsible for, and report any problems in a timely manner." She reminded with a smile.
"OK!"
Zhou Can didn't explain much, walked out of the office and closed the door for her.
Answer the phone.
"Mom, why are you calling me at this time?" He was worried that something unexpected might have happened at home.
"Everything is fine at home, don't worry! I just transferred 50,000 yuan to you, spend it frugally. Recently, my family needs funds to turn around a big business, and may not be able to give you pocket money for a long time. Take good care of yourself outside, and take good care of the girl named Qianqian."
Zhou Can listened to what his mother said and felt something was wrong.
Normally, his mother would nag him endlessly when she called him, but today it sounded strange.
"Mom, the New Year is coming soon. I should be able to take a few days of annual leave and bring Qianqian back to see you and dad." Zhou Can said tentatively.
His mother has been urging him to bring his girlfriend home for the New Year. This time Zhou Can has been assigned to the endocrinology department, so he should be able to take a few days off.
"Well...your father and I have been very busy lately, and I'm afraid we won't be able to spare the time for the New Year. Why don't we wait until we are less busy and bring Miss Qianqian back?"
After all, she still didn't learn to lie in front of her son.
The excuse was too perfunctory. With Zhou Can's intelligence, he knew something must have happened at home as soon as he heard it.
What could possibly happen to a perfectly good food processing factory?
In the past two years, he often heard his mother bragging to him that she had expanded her business overseas.
Logically speaking, the business should be expanded.
"Mom, did something happen at home?"
"Nonsense! Your father and I are busy at the factory every day. What could possibly happen at home?"
My mother pretended to be calm and scolded him.
"Oh, I'm glad you're safe. I'll bring your future daughter-in-law home in a few days. No matter how busy you and dad are, we can go to the factory to help you!"
Zhou Can deliberately tested again.
"The factory is so dirty, don't scare the girls. If you go home, remember to call me in advance so I can pick you up."
This time, my mother didn't refuse him from going home.
However, Zhou Can could hear the far-fetchedness in it.
"Mom, I'm at work right now, so I won't tell you for now. Remember to take good care of yourself, and I'll go home to see you and Dad when I'm free."
"OK!"
Mom hung up the phone.
Zhou Can looked through the records and found that he had not contacted his family for more than three months. He suddenly felt a little sorry for his parents. Usually, it was his mother who took the initiative to contact him, but he rarely took the initiative to contact his family.
He seemed to have long been accustomed to his parents' care and the pocket money they gave him on time.
Only now did I realize that I cared too little about my parents.
Whether it is family affection or love, it should never be one-way, but two-way.
Zhou Can was almost certain that something must have happened at home.
Even if mom didn't tell him, she would find out by herself.
Zhou Can directly called his childhood friend Cheng Dazhuang.
"A-chan, it's not easy to receive a call from you! I thought you were so successful now that you forgot about me, your former brother!"
As soon as the call was connected, Cheng Dazhuang complained to him.
"Haha, how is that possible! Am I that kind of person?" Zhou Can is really not the kind of powerful person who despises the poor and loves the rich.
He didn't even despise Da Zhuang for not being able to do well.
"Da Zhuang, I want to ask you something!"
"Ask me! As long as I know, even if you ask me what color my pants are, I will tell you."
Cheng Dazhuang is still as humorous as ever.
"Doctor Cheng Dazhuang, please pay attention to your image. Be careful that patients or their families may complain about you." Zhou Can warned him with a dark face. When the two were children, they had always quarreled with each other and grew up playing together.
"Do you think our county people's hospital is as crowded as your Tuya Hospital? We only see a few patients a day. The department I work in is an unpopular department. I sit in the office and yawn every day."
As Cheng Dazhuang spoke, he actually started yawning.
Zhou Can frowned, imagining what Cheng Dazhuang's working state would be like.
He couldn't help but think of the children who didn't get into high school, and who went to vocational schools and studied happily. And the children who got into high school, who studied hard day and night to prepare for the college entrance examination.
Cheng Dazhuang dozed off in the office every day, but Zhou Can often practiced medicine or read books until one or two in the morning.
During the day, Zhou Can was busy like a top.
The gap between the two of them now is probably huge.
With Zhou Can's current ability, if he goes to the county people's hospital in his hometown, he can probably defeat an ordinary chief physician in seconds.
"Da Zhuang, you are not in good condition. When you have nothing to do, you can read medical books and study cases. Over time, you will become much stronger than other doctors."
Zhou Can advised him not to waste his time.
For adults over 35 years old, it will be difficult to make progress if they do not have a certain level of strength.
"What's the point of learning it? There are only a few patients, and most of them have some common minor illnesses. Ah Chan, you should tell me what you want to know!"
Cheng Dazhuang didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore.
"I want to ask, do you know what happened in my family?" Zhou Can sighed secretly. In fact, his destiny is in his own hands. If he doesn't work hard and make progress, he can't blame the cruelty of the society.
"I haven't heard what happened in your family! What happened?" Cheng Dazhuang asked back.
"My mom just called me and she felt something was wrong. Can you go find out about my family's situation after you get off work tonight? Don't alarm my parents, just tell me the truth when the time comes."
Zhou Can can rest assured that he can leave this matter to his childhood friend.
Although Cheng Dazhuang has many flaws, he is a very loyal and considerate person.
"Okay, I'll be there in a minute, don't worry too much! I don't think it's anything serious, it's probably just that you're overthinking it."
…
At around five o'clock in the evening, Zhou Can received a call from Cheng Dazhuang.
"A-chan, you're not operating on any patients right now, right?"
"What do you mean? Didn't I ask you to find out about my family's situation?"
Zhou Can was extremely depressed.
Did this child’s head get wet from too much rain?
"I'm afraid that after hearing about your family's situation, you would become too emotional and a medical accident might occur, which would harm you, right?" Cheng Dazhuang explained.
"Oh! So it's about this. Just tell me, I'm following my teaching teacher to see patients. I just received a call and he's already outside." Zhou Can's heart sank.
It seems that something really big has happened at home.
As long as my parents are safe, it doesn't matter if I lose some money.
Anyway, Zhou Can now has a net worth of nearly 100 million yuan, which is more than enough to provide for his family.
If he can defeat the capital tycoon Hu Haikun, his and Su Qianqian's careers should be able to flourish for many years, and their wealth will continue to increase.
"You can follow the teacher to see patients and still go out to answer calls at will, you are awesome!"
Cheng Dazhuang just wouldn't talk about the main business, which made Zhou Can so anxious that he wanted to strangle him.
For Zhou Can, let alone going out to answer a phone call, even if something really happened, it would not be a big deal to just ask for leave and leave work early.
His status is so high.
The Department of Endocrinology was only a small department in Tuya, and the department director was warm and friendly towards him.
"I asked someone and it seems that your villa in the county town has been sealed by the court. The factory seems to be surrounded by a large number of cargo owners who are demanding debts. The situation is very bad."
This news was like a bolt from the blue, shocking Zhou Can greatly.
He never imagined that his family's prosperous business would suddenly become so bad.
"Da Zhuang, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
"It should be correct. Although my medical skills are not very good, I have established some connections in the county. I also asked my classmates who work in the court for the specific situation. It seems that your family produced a large number of foreign trade foods according to the requirements of foreign customers. The other party only paid a small deposit and then disappeared. Your parents bought the raw materials from the owner at a high price, processed them, but couldn't sell them, and the capital chain was broken, so the accident happened."
Cheng Dazhuang recounted what had happened.
"Are my parents okay now?"
Zhou Can only has a superficial understanding of business matters.
Because that's not his interest.
What I am most concerned about now is the safety of my parents.
"Your parents are trying to find ways to borrow money. The bank got the news and first applied for property preservation and sealed your villa. Then there's the payment from the cargo owners. The workers seem to be worried about not getting their wages and have started to demand their wages."
When a wall falls, everyone pushes it.
Zhou Can's family's business was in trouble. The managers were worried about not being able to collect payments for the goods, the workers were worried about their wages, and the bank was worried about not being able to collect loans. With all of them involved, you can imagine how much pressure his parents would be under.
But even in such a difficult situation, his mother still gave him 50,000 yuan in pocket money.
Suddenly, he realized that his mother had already predicted that the factory would go bankrupt and the family's savings from years of hard work would all be gone. As a mother, she wanted to help her son one last time.
This is the great maternal love.
"Mom and Dad, your son has grown up now. You have always taken care of me, protected me, and provided for me. This time, let your son withstand the storm for you!"
Zhou Can didn’t know how much money his family owed, but he estimated that his savings of tens of millions should be able to help his parents tide over the difficulties.
However, some of his money was invested in stocks, some was used to buy funds, and even some private equity funds recommended by Li Lao. It is probably not an easy thing to turn it into cash in a short period of time.
Zhou Can didn't understand such business matters. Mr. and Mrs. Cui happened to be in the foreign trade business. Maybe he could get some advice from them.
