Chapter 351: A fight for rice to feed the enemy, refusal is in your best interest
Director Wang pushed the door open and looked inside, only to see Cheng Dazhuang and Doctor Luo Jian, but not Zhou Can, whom he was looking for.
"Hey, where's Doctor Zhou?"
Director Wang felt something was wrong when he found out Zhou Can was gone.
The dean also specifically told him to keep Zhou Can and come over to meet Zhou Can immediately!
“Let’s go!”
Cheng Dazhuang replied.
"Why did you leave so soon? Did you just leave?"
"He has been gone for more than ten minutes! Is there anything you want to talk to him about?" Cheng Dazhuang didn't understand why Director Wang came to see Zhou Can at this time?
"Oh, it's nothing important. I thought Dr. Zhou was a talent from our hometown, so I mentioned this to the dean, and he immediately said he would come over to meet Dr. Zhou."
Director Wang is a chief physician after all, and he would never say anything like clinging to Zhou Can.
But as adults, we understand many things without having to explain them explicitly.
Cheng Dazhuang was not stupid. As soon as he saw Director Wang’s embarrassed expression, he immediately understood what was going on.
"Um...you guys go ahead and do your work. I'll tell the dean."
Director Wang walked out of the office and quickly called the dean.
The Dean was of noble status. If he arrived and found that Zhou Can had already left, he would definitely be unhappy. He would blame him for not being able to keep him.
"Director, I just went to the office to ask, and Dr. Zhou has already gone back. You see..."
"Leaving so soon? That's such a pity. You said he and a resident in our hospital were childhood friends and had a very good relationship, right?"
The dean sounded just slightly disappointed.
There was no anger.
"Yes, yes, yes! Resident doctor Cheng Dazhuang is his childhood friend. He just came over specifically to chat with Cheng Dazhuang." Director Wang breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't want a good thing to turn into a bad thing and leave a bad impression on the dean.
"It's a bit late today . I'll go to the hospital tomorrow to talk to Cheng Dazhuang about this in person! Thank you for your hard work, Director Wang. Go home and rest early."
"Okay! You should go to bed early too!"
Director Wang waited until the dean hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.
In his mind, he was thinking about how to get close to Zhou Can tomorrow. This kind of thing must be done with some technical content, not too obvious, but also must be enthusiastic enough.
If you miss this village, there will be no next store.
After thinking it over, he felt that as long as he had a good relationship with Cheng Dazhuang, he would basically be invincible.
He immediately walked into the doctor's office again.
"Xiao Cheng, it must be hard to be on duty at night!"
Director Wang is just making small talk.
However, asking about the well-being of the staff is the most common way for the leaders to get close to the junior doctors. Whether the leaders want to take advantage of the female employees or want to win over a certain employee, this is almost the most common routine.
"Thank you Director Wang for your concern. I've been working the night shift so many times that I'm used to it." Cheng Dazhuang was somewhat flattered by Director Wang's sudden concern.
"Haha, young man, you are really hardworking! Our hospital needs hardworking and down-to-earth people like you. But after training for so long, it's almost time. Tomorrow I will say hello to your department director and I will assign you fewer night shifts in the future."
Look, the word "official" means two things. If the leader says you are capable, then you are capable. If he says you are not capable, no matter how capable you are, it is all useless.
Cheng Dazhuang usually works so many night shifts, and he gets nothing but scolding and rarely gets praised by his superiors.
Director Wang, the chief physician of cardiothoracic surgery, suddenly showed him a lot of kindness. No matter how dumb he was, he understood what was going on.
After all, it’s because he and Zhou Can are childhood friends.
Director Wang may want to get to know Zhou Can through him.
This kind of thing can only be understood, not expressed in words.
It must not be shown on your face.
Just pretend you know nothing and enjoy the care from your leader. After all, it is a real benefit, so it is definitely worth it to accept it.
"Thank you, thank you! My waist hurts a little when I get cold at night. It would be great if I could adjust and work less night shifts in the future."
Cheng Dazhuang climbed up the pole and gladly accepted the benefits given by Director Wang.
"What are you thanking me for? From now on, if you have any problems, you can come to me directly. I will definitely find a way to help you solve them. Just work hard, and I will leave."
Director Wang patted Cheng Dazhuang on the shoulder, turned and walked out of the office.
Doctor Luo Jian felt a little jealous. He was also on the night shift, so why was Director Wang so partial and only cared about Cheng Dazhuang and not him?
In terms of age, he is much older than Cheng Dazhuang.
The one who should be taken care of more is him, the old comrade.
When a man reaches the age of 36 or 37, he has a wife, children and elders to take care of at home. If he works the night shift, he certainly cannot be with his wife.
How many married women have been taken advantage of by their neighbor's husband because their husbands are not around at night.
Doctor Luo sighed secretly, it was a pity that he didn’t have a childhood friend as awesome as Zhou Can!
…
The next day, Zhou Can's family received multiple good news.
After paying off the bank loan yesterday afternoon, the court promptly submitted an application for unblocking to the land and housing department, and it will take about a week to complete the unblocking procedures.
However, due to practical considerations and the fact that Zhou Can's parents secretly used some connections, court staff came and tore off the seal on the villa before nine o'clock in the morning.
This also means that they can finally move back into the villa.
In addition, the Zhou family paid off the suppliers and workers' wages. Thanks to the efforts of Director Zhou, the factory has resumed production. But it will take some time.
There is no way to resume factory operations immediately.
Resuming production after suspension requires preparation in many aspects.
After paying off the loan and bank loan and settling all the wages, Director Zhou still had a lot of cash flow left, which was enough for him to resume the operation of the factory.
"Dad, Mom, I've asked for a total of five days off from the hospital, and today is the fifth day. I plan to go back to the provincial capital with Qianqian after lunch."
This time Zhou Can returned home to help resolve the crisis at home. Seeing everything at home return to normal, he no longer had anything to worry about.
This time also made him realize that it is very important to continue to be a good doctor.
Because the network of contacts that helped him resolve the crisis at home was accumulated through his work as a doctor.
"You're leaving so soon! We're hiring a cleaning lady to clean up the house. I think we'll be able to bring Qianqian home around ten o'clock. Our family is in crisis this time, and your dad and I have seen the true colors of many relatives and friends. But your uncle has been trying his best to help our family. He knows that you've brought your girlfriend back to meet your parents, and he wants to meet you, too."
Zhou Can's father has three brothers and sisters. His uncle's family conditions are pretty good, but they are far from comparable to Zhou Can's family.
Not every family can own a fortune of tens of millions.
Only a very small number of lucky people can become rich through hard work or by relying on their parents' connections in official circles.
My uncle would occasionally visit their family, and at least they would have New Year’s Eve dinner together every year.
The relationship between the brothers is pretty good.
Zhou Can's impression of her third aunt, who married into the provincial capital, was always sarcastic and competitive. Since Zhou Can's grandparents passed away, she had less contact with her two brothers.
When Zhou Can's family encountered a crisis this time, the third aunt had originally agreed to lend them 300,000 yuan.
Later, my uncle disagreed, and finally the three hundred thousand yuan became three thousand yuan.
I heard that it was the third aunt who secretly transferred 3,000 yuan to Director Zhou. Of course, Director Zhou did not accept the money.
Three thousand yuan was of almost no use to the Zhou family, which was burdened with a debt of 37 million yuan at the time.
Moreover, the reduction from 300,000 to 3,000 yuan has a bit of almsgiving feel.
In addition, Director Zhou was a tough guy like Zhou Can, so he did not accept the three thousand yuan transferred by the third aunt.
In fact, when the third aunt got married, Zhou Can's family was not particularly rich.
Zhou Can's father directly gave his sister a big red envelope of 100,000 yuan.
Later, my third aunt's family was short of money when buying a house, so my father gave them another 400,000 yuan.
Unfortunately, not everyone knows how to be grateful.
I heard that once, my third aunt asked my father to borrow 2 million to open a restaurant, but my father refused. It was from that time that my third aunt's father hated their family.
This is the evil of human nature.
Even if you helped him ninety-nine times, if he doesn't agree to help you the hundredth time, you may turn from a benefactor to an enemy.
The ancients said a long time ago that carrying a load of rice will earn you gratitude, but a bucket of rice will earn you hatred.
When my third aunt opened a restaurant, she should have thanked Director Zhou for not agreeing to lend her money.
Because my third uncle's father instigated my third aunt to borrow money from them but failed, she later found a way to collect 200,000 yuan and opened a restaurant with others. In the end, it didn't even last two months and lost everything.
If I had borrowed two million at that time, the loss would have been even greater.
In many industries, you may see others making money, but if you, a layman, dive in headfirst, you will lose all the money you have.
But most people see others making a lot of money, get excited, and blindly follow suit, regardless of whether they understand it or not. In the end, they lose a lot of money.
"I'll go tell Qianqian, and I'll take her back to the villa later."
Zhou Can thought there was absolutely no problem with having a meal together as a family.
Uncle helped their family this time, so they should raise a glass to express their gratitude.
Besides, the uncle has always cared about his nephew, and if he finds a girlfriend, he should let him meet her.
Zhou Can's cell phone rang as he was on his way to the hotel.
I saw it was Cheng Dazhuang calling.
"Da Zhuang, what's the matter?"
We just got together yesterday, and Cheng Dazhuang called me so early. It must be not to reminisce about the past, but because he has something to do.
"Wasn't I on night shift yesterday? I just woke up!"
Cheng Dazhuang was yawning on the other end of the phone.
"You haven't found a wife yet, so you want to chat with your childhood friend, right?" Zhou Can was speechless.
Cheng Dazhuang is a few months older than him, so he is also quite old.
You can definitely have a girlfriend.
"Hey, do you think everyone is like you? You have a good family background and good personal conditions, so it's not difficult to find a girlfriend. I haven't passed the medical license exam yet, and I've been doing regular training at work and can't get a permanent job. Which girl would be interested in someone like me?"
Cheng Dazhuang complained to him bitterly.
Girls these days are very realistic, and it is extremely difficult for boys with poor conditions to find a wife.
"Didn't I tell you yesterday that I would do my best to help you with the medical license exam?" Zhou Can thought that this guy was still asleep, so he had to reiterate what he had said yesterday.
"I know. Let's put this aside for now. There is something I need your help with right now. Just now, Director Lu from our hospital called me. I was really scared when the director called me personally. Guess what happened?"
At this time, Cheng Dazhuang actually kept the secret.
"What else can I do? I'll just scold you!"
Zhou Can deliberately angered him.
He has known Cheng Dazhuang since childhood and knows Cheng Dazhuang's character very well.
If you ask him why, he can keep you in suspense for a long time.
But if you prod him a few words, he will definitely tell you the truth.
"Pfft! A dog can't spit out ivory. Am I that bad? Let me tell you, the dean just called me in person, and his tone was surprisingly amiable. He first asked me if I had disturbed my rest! Then he tactfully said that he wanted me to introduce you to him and invite you to dinner. I was thinking that even Dean Lu took the initiative to invite you to dinner, which shows that you are really awesome in Tuya Hospital. It's just that these people are a little too realistic, and they are all rushing to pounce on you."
Cheng Dazhuang told the story again.
"You promised?"
Zhou Can asked.
"How could I dare to agree without asking for your opinion? If I agreed and then you said you didn't want to see him, the dean would definitely cook me!" Cheng Dazhuang still had some sense of propriety.
He didn't dare to make decisions on behalf of Zhou Can.
"That's good that she didn't agree. I'm going back to the provincial capital with my girlfriend after lunch. As for your Dean Lu, tell him that I'm really sorry and don't have time this time. You can have dinner with him next time."
Zhou Can naturally knew what Dean Lu was planning.
To be honest, he doesn't really like expanding such personal connections.
Those who associate for profit will disperse when the profit is gone. Those who associate for power will fall when the power is gone.
Dean Lu eagerly used Cheng Dazhuang's connections to invite him to dinner, simply because he saw that he was doing well at Tuya Hospital and wanted to get to know him. In the future, when the County People's Hospital encounters a case that it cannot handle, it can ask Zhou Can for help at a critical moment.
In Zhou Can's eyes, this kind of personal connection is no different from drinking buddies.
Now, Zhou Can is doing well in Tuya Hospital and doesn't need any help from Dean Lu. On the contrary, Dean Lu will probably have to trouble Zhou Can with many things in the future.
If Zhou Can has trouble doing well in Tuya Hospital and returns to his hometown to seek help from Dean Lu, there is a high probability that Dean Lu will turn against him faster than turning the pages of a book.
The only people who help you in times of need are your true friends and relatives.
This kind of "drinking and eating friends" treats you as a brother when they need you, but when they don't need you anymore, they will throw you away like a handful of snot.
"A-chan, can't you just bear with it and agree to have this meal? Look, our dean has already asked me for help in person."
Cheng Dazhuang said to Zhou Can.
Obviously, his understanding of human nature is not as profound as Zhou Can's.
"Da Zhuang, just tell him what I said. I promise you won't be unwelcome. And as long as we have this childhood relationship, and as long as I continue to do well in Tuya Hospital, your status in the County People's Hospital will get higher and higher."
Zhou Can saw it much more clearly than he did.
It doesn’t really matter whether you eat this meal or not.
Not agreeing to have this meal would actually be good for Cheng Dazhuang.
"Even if he doesn't say it, he will definitely scold me in his heart for not being able to handle such a small matter." Cheng Dazhuang said aggrievedly.
"Why don't you understand? If I agree to this meal, I will be in direct contact with your Dean Lu. If he asks me for help in the future, will he still need you? On the contrary, if I don't have this meal with him today, I won't know him. If your hospital wants to ask me for something in the future, it must go through you as a middleman! Wouldn't your status and importance be raised?"
Zhou Can gave him some advice.
Compared with him, Cheng Dazhuang was still far inferior. Not only was there a gap in medical skills, but Cheng Dazhuang also needed to think carefully about the understanding of human nature, the interests in interpersonal communication, and the relationship of interests involved.
"Yes, that makes sense . Okay, I'll refuse then."
After getting the hint, Cheng Dazhuang couldn't help but smile happily.
