Chapter 346: Meeting a childhood friend, a patient with abdominal pain
"Go ahead! You must treat her well. The factory has been in such a mess these days, and the villa at home has been sealed off. It's really not treating her well. You must explain it to the girl. I will go to the bank later, pay back the loan, and ask the court to quickly unseal our villa."
Now with this nearly 50 million yuan in sales proceeds, all the family’s debts can be cleared.
The factory was able to resume operations quickly.
Moreover, due to the expansion of the factory and the purchase of new imported equipment, the production capacity will be even greater.
The competitiveness will also be stronger.
His family's business will definitely be bigger.
Business is like this, wealth and honor are sought in danger. This huge adventure almost bankrupted the Zhou family's factory. After making it through, the rewards were also beyond imagination.
What my mother cares most about is her daughter-in-law. As a parent, who doesn’t hope that their children will get married and start a family?
When she heard that her son was going to accompany his future daughter-in-law, she naturally agreed with both hands.
After Zhou Can came out of the factory, he first called Yiqin.
"Sister-in-law, Stephenson really couldn't escape your grasp. You still sent someone to seize this batch of food. He bought it at a price of 62,000 per ton. I really admire his courage."
"Haha, this guy is notoriously greedy and cunning, and has a very bad reputation in the foreign trade community. Many Chinese people have been cheated by him, and everyone hates him to death, but there is nothing they can do about him. This time, he probably never dreamed that I would have a connection with a food factory in a small county. And I dug a trap for him with the help of both insiders and outsiders."
Yichen felt particularly relieved when she heard that Stephen had fallen into the trap.
"You and Brother Cui are willing to damage the company's reputation in order to help my family get revenge. This is really a great favor." Zhou Can thanked her with great gratitude.
The 800,000 yuan penalty was nothing to Zhou Can or Mr. and Mrs. Cui.
But if Echen broke the contract with Stephenson right after signing it, it would have a very bad impact on the reputation of her company. A man cannot stand without trust, and the reputation of a large company is more important than life.
Yichen and Mr. Cui didn't say anything, but he couldn't pretend not to know.
It must be brought up.
"This is not as serious as you think. We are the one who screwed Stephen, and our compatriots in China will only applaud. As for Stephen's company, it doesn't matter if they don't do business with our company in the future. We didn't have much cooperation with his company in the first place. In addition, the reason I found for breach of contract is also legitimate, and the liquidated damages I paid are not less than a cent. I just followed the rules. Foreigners do business differently from us, they abide by the rules. Therefore, the impact on my company is very small."
Yichen didn't care about this at all.
"Although Stephen suffered a loss this time, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for him. It's far from enough to cause serious damage. It will be fine if a bigger corporate giant comes to deal with him in the future. My company's capabilities are limited, so I can only deal him a minor blow this time."
A lot of foreign capital has made a fortune in the country.
Bloody companies like Stevens made even more money. Although he bought the goods at a price of 62,000 per ton, the worst he could do was lose less than 20 million, which was completely affordable for him.
"It's good to be able to deal with him once. At least it will let him know that we Chinese are not easy to bully. It will at least make him restrain himself a little."
Zhou Can has been in the hospital for a long time and knows that he can only do his best in many things.
After talking to Yichen on the phone, he rushed to the hotel and took Su Qianqian to have a good time in his hometown in the county.
After playing until around five in the afternoon, Su Qianqian started to complain that she was tired.
Zhou Can took her back to the hotel to rest.
It was already past six o'clock by the time we finished dinner. The daylight hours are short in winter, and it was already completely dark outside.
After having a good meal and a few drinks, Zhou Can wanted to take her back to the room to improve their relationship.
After all, this return trip to their hometown further warmed their relationship.
The marriage is basically in sight.
His cell phone rang at this moment.
At first glance, it was my childhood friend Cheng Dazhuang calling.
It has been four days since Zhou Can returned to his hometown, and he still hasn't had time to meet up with his childhood friend. It seems that he is indeed putting his love life before his friendship.
However, he was busy with factory affairs and his family was in huge debt. Under such circumstances, he was unwilling to contact his classmates and friends in the county.
It would be easy for people to mistakenly think that he came to borrow money.
If I am coldly refused to meet you, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
Human nature is the thing that cannot stand the test.
"A-chan, I heard you're back in the county?"
"Yes, I'm back."
"If I hadn't seen a post on your Moments today, I wouldn't have known you were back. We haven't seen each other for a few years, let's get together!"
"If you don't mind me borrowing money from you, I'll go over there."
Zhou Can joked.
"You know my family's situation. We lost money in business a few years ago and have never been able to recover. But as long as you come over, fifty or sixty thousand won't be a problem."
Cheng Dazhuang should still be a trainee now, with a pitifully low income.
It may not be an easy task to raise 50,000 yuan to lend to Zhou Can.
"Haha, I'm really here then."
"Come on! I'm on night shift today, so you can keep me company. It's in the doctor's office on the third floor of the inpatient building of the County People's Hospital."
After Cheng Dazhuang hung up the phone, he sent him a coordinate location.
"Qianqian, my childhood friend asked me to come over for a get-together. You and Weifang should have a good rest in the hotel!"
"Yeah! Be safe!"
After Su Qianqian finished speaking, she took the car keys from Wei Fang and handed them to him.
"If you don't mind my BMW being low-end and embarrassing you, just drive it! It's inconvenient to take a taxi at night, and it's safer for you to drive yourself."
For ordinary people, a BMW worth hundreds of thousands of dollars is already a symbol of success.
You will have face wherever you drive.
However, Su Qianqian knew Zhou Can's financial strength very well. A car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars was really not worthy of Zhou Can's identity as an invisible rich man.
"Why should a BMW lose face? This car is already very flashy in my opinion."
These days, whenever they go out for fun, Wei Fang serves as their full-time driver.
Zhou Can drove a BMW to the county people's hospital.
Go straight to the doctor's office on the third floor of the inpatient department.
The county hospital seemed quite deserted at night, with only the dim corridor lights on.
Compared with Tuya, the County People's Hospital is quite shabby.
The inpatient building is a complete building.
Tuya is divided into several major departments. For example, the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology has an entire complex building.
The county hospital is limited by the small number of inpatients and can only manage all the patients admitted by all departments in this building. Even so, there are still many empty beds in the inpatient department.
"Who are you looking for?"
After Zhou Can went up to the third floor, he looked around , which immediately alerted the nurse on duty at the nurses station.
Facing the young nurse's scrutinizing eyes, Zhou Can really looked so innocent.
God knows, does he look like a criminal?
"I want to find a doctor named Cheng Dazhuang. I'm his friend."
Zhou Can quickly introduced himself.
"So he's Dr. Cheng's friend! He's in that office, just go find him."
The nurse's tone suddenly became friendlier.
The county hospital itself is not very big, and the number of doctors is probably only one or two hundred. In larger hospitals, the number of doctors generally does not exceed three hundred.
Compared with doctors like Tuya, Cheng Dazhuang may not be a big deal. But in the County People's Hospital, he is at least a doctor who has been in regular training for more than two years and will soon be transferred to a formal resident doctor.
There is some status.
Zhou Can is his friend, and it is normal for the nurse to change her attitude towards Zhou Can.
The light in the doctor's office was on and the door was not closed.
There were two male doctors sitting inside, one of them was Cheng Dazhuang.
"Da Zhuang!"
Zhou Can greeted.
"Haha, you're finally here! I haven't seen you in years. Please take a seat!" Cheng Dazhuang was extremely surprised to see Zhou Can.
He hurriedly stood up to greet him, pulled out a chair and asked him to sit down.
Another male doctor on duty looked up at Zhou Can.
Without saying anything, he quickly lowered his head to check the information.
"Your family has experienced this kind of thing, and I am limited in my ability, so I can't help much. I just collected 50,000 yuan, if you don't think it's too little, I will transfer it to you through Alipay ."
Cheng Dazhuang didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point.
"Brother, thank you for your kindness! I don't need the money."
Zhou Can quickly stopped Cheng Dazhuang from transferring the money.
"Do you think it's too little? This fifty thousand may not be enough for your family's predicament, but it can at least help a little! Don't worry, you can pay it back when you are able to. If you can't, just consider it a gift from me."
Cheng Dazhuang was quite generous because he remembered his childhood friend.
But these days, the one who lends money is the grandfather, and the one who collects the debt is the grandson.
When you lend money to others, you must be prepared to not get it back.
"How can you think it's too little? In times of hardship, even lending me one dollar is a timely help. My family's crisis has been resolved, so keep this money to get married!"
Zhou Can didn't hide it from him either.
The news that the Zhou family's processing plant has gotten out of trouble will spread soon, and Cheng Dazhuang will know about it by then.
"Is it true or false? I asked my friend in the court, and he said that the difficulties your family faced were very serious, but it was resolved in just a few days?" Cheng Dazhuang was a little unbelievable.
"Maybe my family is lucky! The customized food was sold, and the debt crisis was resolved."
Zhou Can is reluctant to talk too much about family business matters.
"How is your work here? You were yawning the other day, that's not good."
Zhou Can asked with concern.
"What else can I do? I just muddle through. If I don't pass the medical license exam, I can only take it again next year. I've heard from many seniors that if you don't pass the exam the first time, the second time will be even harder."
Cheng Dazhuang seemed to be in a particularly negative mood.
There is none of the young people's positive and enterprising spirit to strive for progress.
This made Zhou Can even more worried about him.
"You can't just slack off. Which part did you fail? I can help you."
Zhou Can’s current level is definitely not worse than Tuya’s attending physician.
He really has the ability to lead students.
He has great experience in both clinical practice and theoretical study.
"Alas! I am bad at everything. I am not good at theory, nor am I good at practical skills. According to the hospital's rules, after my regular training expires next year, I will either be transferred to an administrative position or leave."
Cheng Dazhuang said a little frustrated.
Even in the county people's hospital, the competition is quite fierce.
If you don't work hard, you can't blame this society for being too cruel.
The less motivated you are, the easier it is to fall.
Take Cheng Dazhuang and Zhou Can for example. Zhou Can is now making rapid progress and has a bright future, while Cheng Dazhuang is getting worse and worse, and eventually even lost his qualification to be a doctor in the county.
"What about you? You are so good, you should have passed the exam, right?" Cheng Dazhuang asked about Zhou Can's situation.
"I passed the exam by luck."
Zhou Can achieved such good results, and the word "lucky" was used purely to consider Cheng Dazhuang's feelings.
"Da Zhuang, don't give up. As long as you are willing to work hard, I am willing to do my best to help you get a medical license." Zhou Can advised him very sincerely.
"I also want to pass the exam, but it's too difficult, and my financial situation doesn't allow me to keep earning two or three thousand a month." He felt bitter in his heart.
"As long as you are willing to work hard, I can help you financially and technically. If the study conditions here are too poor, go to the provincial capital, and I will help you find a solution at Tuya Hospital."
Zhou Can said seriously.
It is unrealistic to get Cheng Dazhuang into Tuya Hospital, but it should be possible to get him the status of a trainee.
After all, Zhou Can’s current status allows him to directly seek help from the vice-president through the back door.
Hearing the word Tuya, the doctor, who was about thirty-six or thirty-seven years old, raised his head and looked over again.
In the province, the word "Tuya" is a golden signboard in the medical industry and carries great weight.
"Doctor Cheng, is your friend a doctor at Tuya Hospital?"
Zhou Can had been here for such a long time, but this person didn't even say hello. Now that he heard that Zhou Can was from Tuya Hospital, he immediately took the initiative to talk to him. Adults are so realistic.
"Yes! His name is Zhou Can, and he is a resident in Tuya Hospital. Isn't that awesome?" Cheng Dazhuang proudly introduced Zhou Can's identity. "Can, this is my colleague, Dr. Luo Jian, who is currently an attending physician and is quite outstanding in the field of general surgery in our hospital."
"Hello!"
Zhou Can nodded to Doctor Luo Jian.
It was only for Cheng Dazhuang's sake that he did this. Otherwise, Zhou Can would have ignored a chief physician from the county people's hospital, even if the dean came.
"Hello!"
Doctor Luo Jian was no longer arrogant and nodded in response.
"Dr. Zhou is really impressive for passing the Tuya residency exam. But as far as I know, the competition for Tuya's residency training is extremely fierce, and less than 20% of them can stay and become full-time doctors. It must be difficult for you, right?"
He was trying to find out Zhou Can's background.
"It's more than difficult! It's extremely difficult!" Zhou Can really agreed with what the other party said.
"Haha, every hospital is very competitive. But Dr. Zhou is so outstanding, he will definitely stay and become a full-time employee!"
Doctor Luo smiled and continued to test.
"That's not necessarily true. Tuya Hospital attracts the top medical talents in the country, and an undergraduate like me is really nothing." Zhou Can said something the other party liked to hear.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Dr. Luo's enthusiasm for him decreased significantly.
"A bachelor's degree is indeed a bit low for a provincial tertiary hospital, but Dr. Zhou is still very good. If he fails to obtain the qualification for regularization, working in a municipal first-level hospital should be a good choice."
Indeed, as long as you pass the recruitment examination of Tuya Hospital and undergo three years of regular training, even if you cannot stay in the hospital and become a full-time employee, your future is still much better than that of ordinary medical students.
Hospitals of all sizes in the province highly recognize the doctors trained by Tuya.
The certificate of completion of Tuya's regular training is extremely valuable. If you are engaged in the medical profession, it is even more valuable than a general bachelor's degree.
"Doctor Luo, don't you have a patient with stomachache? You can ask Zhou Can to help take a look. He is from Tuya, and maybe he can give you some useful advice!"
Cheng Dazhuang suggested enthusiastically.
"This... is not good! It's too much trouble!" Doctor Luo hesitated. According to his thinking, a resident intern hasn't even learned how to hold a scalpel or write a medical order. Even if he came from Tuya Hospital, it would be useless.
"It's okay, it's okay. Zhou Can is my brother. He has been enthusiastic since he was a child and often helped the elderly cross the road."
Cheng Dazhuang's words made Dr. Luo laugh.
Zhou Can also smiled embarrassedly.
"Doctor Luo, the patient is complaining of stomachache again and insists that a doctor come over to take a look." The nurse ran in and shouted.
The beds where patients are hospitalized are usually equipped with an alarm for help.
Just press a button and the nurse station will receive it and send someone to check it out immediately.
"I'll be there right away." Doctor Luo Jian closed the book, stood up and walked outside.
