Chapter 390: The End of a Reincarnation, Calculated
"After so many years, I have been able to calm down about this matter. If a person does something wrong, he should take responsibility. It's just that I need to spend my whole life to atone for what I did wrong. The price is too high!"
Dr. Xu's tone seemed calm, but there was resentment deep in his eyes.
If that accident hadn't happened, his life would have been completely different.
One wrong step can ruin a life, and it will take a lifetime to redeem it. Making two families live in pain at the same time, fate punishment for him was too severe.
We are all just mortals, and when faced with such misfortune, all we can do is endure it silently.
Over the years, Dr. Xu has been able to donate most of his salary to the victim's family.
This is not easy at all.
Legally, he is not required to do so.
But he has always been helping that family in his own way, which is very touching and admirable.
"Teacher has always been a good person. I believe God will give you a chance to turn things around. Maybe the time has not come yet, and he is deliberately testing your patience!"
Zhou Can comforted Dr. Xu.
But he was thinking that when his medical skills were promoted to level six, which is the director level, he might be able to help Dr. Xu solve this problem.
We still need to be patient for now.
As the car sped along the road, the master and the disciple gradually fell silent, each thinking about their own things.
The memorial service for Director Hu Kan was held in the No. 2 memorial hall of the Xiangui Funeral Home in the north of the city.
At this moment, Director Hu's children, daughter-in-law, and son-in-law were dressed in mourning clothes, all white, and with sad expressions they greeted and saw off relatives, friends, and people from the society who came to mourn.
It is said that the funeral should be simple.
In fact, for someone at Director Hu's level, no matter how simple the operation is, it will still be on a certain scale.
Because his social influence is there.
Although people are forgotten when they are gone, but after giving so much in their lives, they will eventually leave some marks in the hearts of many people.
Those who had benefited from Director Hu, as well as Director Hu's relatives and friends, and leaders of the unit, etc., would come to send wreaths or something to mourn. Otherwise, it would be too inhumane.
Zhou Can and Dr. Xu walked into the memorial hall together.
At the door, Director Hu's only son, dressed in mourning, was receiving guests.
Zhou Can handed the prepared wreath to the on-site reception staff, and Director Hu’s son bowed deeply to him to express his gratitude.
"Please save your life!"
Zhou Can shook hands with the other party and patted him on the shoulder.
Dr. Xu simply nodded, then took the incense stick, stood in front of the coffin, and bowed three times.
When he bowed for the last time, Dr. Xu bent over his knees and was reluctant to straighten up.
You can see that his expression is extremely sad.
"Teacher, I believe that Director Hu will be very happy to see you in the afterlife. Please don't be too sad."
Zhou Can supported Dr. Xu.
While he was trying to persuade them, he felt waves of sadness in his heart.
The staff arranged by the Hu family saw how sad Dr. Xu was and came over to support and persuade him.
Doctor Xu walked slowly to the coffin and inserted the incense sticks properly.
Looking at Director Hu Kan sleeping in the ice coffin, his cheeks were shaking, then slowly spreading to his lips, but he didn't know when his eyes were filled with tears.
"Have a safe journey, Lao Hu! I will urge Xiao Zhou to do his best to fulfill your wish."
Dr. Xu finally spoke up.
This is my final farewell to Director Hu Kan.
After taking care of Dr. Xu and burning incense, Zhou Can took the incense sticks, stood in front of the coffin, and bowed deeply.
"I am so lucky to have your teachings and training in my life. I don't have enough time to express my gratitude to you. I promise in front of your spirit that I will carry forward your medical skills and pass on your steady knife method from generation to generation. Director Xueyan has taken over the cardiothoracic surgery department. Rest in peace!"
When Zhou Can stood up, his eyes were red.
After offering incense, Zhou Can stared at Director Hu in the ice coffin, and a deep sense of sadness surged into his heart like a tide. After saying his final goodbye, he walked out of the memorial hall.
Director Hu’s son knew that Zhou Can was one of his father’s closest students during his lifetime, so he was particularly close to Zhou Can.
"Dr. Zhou, thank you for coming to mourn my father. We followed my father's will and cremated his body and scattered it in the river, so that his soul can return to the earth."
"That's fine! Returning to nature in the most simple way and ending a cycle of reincarnation is the destination that teachers most yearn for."
As soon as Zhou Can opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was a little hoarse.
But everyone can understand.
"After the memorial service this morning, the body will be cremated and the ashes will be scattered into the river. No monument or grave will be built, and you will not be notified when the time comes."
Director Hu’s son said to him.
"Okay! Although Director Hu is no longer with us, I am his apprentice. Let's keep in touch in the future and don't let this master-apprentice relationship end here, okay?"
Zhou Can looked at the other person sincerely.
"Of course! It is my father's fortune and our family's fortune to have a student like you who loves him so much."
Director Hu Kan’s son readily agreed.
We added each other’s WeChat contact information on the spot, and our phone numbers had already been saved.
After Zhou Can left the memorial hall, he walked towards the parking lot.
"Ha! You're a big liar. You even said you didn't know about Director Hu Kan's death. You prevented me from getting first-hand news information." Female reporter Mu Ming ran over angrily from not far away.
Zhou Can couldn't help but look embarrassed.
Doctor Xu glanced at Mu Ming and said, "You guys can chat. I can take a taxi back by myself."
After saying this, Dr. Xu was about to leave.
"Teacher, I'll go back to the hospital with you. Otherwise, you can wait for me in the car for two minutes."
Zhou Can also knew that if he didn't say a few nice words to this female reporter, she would definitely not let it go.
"OK!"
Dr. Xu said nothing more.
Zhou Can pressed the remote control to unlock the car, then looked at Mu Ming.
"Auntie, I've already paid off the favor I owed you last time, can you please stop pestering me?"
"no!"
She was quite confident.
"So what do you want?"
Zhou Can dealt with the gangster by knocking him down with one punch. There was really no good way to deal with such a beautiful female reporter.
After all, they had helped him a lot.
Zhou Can still benefits from that news report, and it will also be of great help to him in the future.
He really couldn't do something like taking the benefits and then kicking someone away.
Mu Ming is quite sensible in doing things, and it doesn't really affect his life or work.
At most, I would just show off my girlish temper and make a few threats.
"I used to think you were a poor doctor, but then I found out you were one of the owners of Jinyu. You drive a Mercedes-Benz, you're pretty low-key!"
Mu Ming answered the question irrelevantly and stared at his Mercedes-Benz.
"Are you short of money?"
Zhou Can asked.
"Don't worry, this reporter doesn't care about your dirty money! I'm just angry that you have such a close relationship with Director Hu. You obviously know everything, but you refuse to tell me and even lied to me that you don't know. I can let this go, but you have to give me some compensation."
Mu Ming's eyes rolled around.
The conditions proposed are probably not trivial matters.
"Tell me what you want, I can do it, and I'll try my best to satisfy you!"
Zhou Can just wanted to end the conversation with her quickly and drive away.
"It's simple. You can definitely do it. An orphan I interviewed lives with his elderly grandfather and grandmother. But now the child is sick. After a checkup at the county hospital, it was found that he might have regenerative leukemia. You are both a doctor and an entrepreneur. I have asked many people for help, but none of them are willing to help. Can you help the child?"
She made a special request to Zhou Can.
This is a rather tricky thing.
"Send me the child's detailed information later, and then I'll see how to help him." Zhou Can didn't dare to be too firm and left himself some wiggle room.
"Hey, are you so perfunctory? I know that treating leukemia requires a lot of money. It's really not easy for you to pay for it alone. I will launch a fundraising campaign when the time comes..."
She obviously misunderstood Zhou Can.
"It's not about the money, but the child's condition and other situations. I need to understand them clearly first." Zhou Can interrupted her directly.
"The child's condition is exactly as I told you! I can guarantee that it is all true. Boss Zhou, Doctor Zhou, can you please be kind and be a savior for once?"
Mu Ming acted coquettishly towards him, speaking softly and in a gentle voice that was hard to resist.
"Just this once, I promise."
She raised her right hand above her head and assured Zhou Can.
"Okay, okay! I promise."
Zhou Can really couldn't do anything about her.
If Zhou Can were asked to rescue all the orphans and vulnerable groups in the world, he would definitely not agree.
Just to save a child, as a charity, Zhou Can did not object.
Any entrepreneur or wealthy person with a little sense of social responsibility is willing to do their part and do some charity work.
“Hook!”
She stretched out her fingers, which were as white as green onions.
Judging from the situation , she probably wouldn't agree to let Zhou Can leave unless he made a pinky promise with her.
"We'll make a promise to each other for a hundred years and never change!"
She recited the song and completed the "contract" with Zhou Can.
"Remember to send me your child's detailed information, preferably including the examination information taken at the hospital!"
Zhou Can warned her.
"Okay, good man, take care!"
Mu Ming was very happy that her request was met. This time she readily gave way and watched Zhou Can drive away.
Sitting in the car and calming down, Zhou Can vaguely realized that he seemed to have been tricked by a little girl.
She must have known that Zhou Can would come to Director Hu's memorial service.
The parking lot is quite remote.
She is a reporter. Why was she not interviewing at the memorial service but waiting in the parking lot? How could it be such a coincidence?
There was only one possibility: after she saw Zhou Can enter the memorial hall, she squatted in the parking lot in advance, waiting for Zhou Can to come over. Then she accused Zhou Can of not wanting to provide information about Director Hu Kan, and took the opportunity to make additional demands.
In the end, it was expected that Zhou Can would not refuse.
Although being plotted against was somewhat uncomfortable, Zhou Can did not feel too disgusted because she was asking for help for the orphan.
The thing has already been agreed upon, so there is no way to go back on it.
A man without faith cannot stand.
He would not be like those tyrants who promised something in person and then changed their minds.
"Xiao Zhou, in my impression, you have always been a clear-headed person. As a teacher, I can't be too involved in some things, but you must remember that men can be romantic and enjoy life, but they must not forget the word conscience."
Dr. Xu was implicitly reminding him not to have casual relationships between men and women.
"clear."
Zhou Can was smart, so he naturally understood that the teacher was telling him that he should not just keep chasing after beautiful women.
Be loyal in your relationships.
"No, you don't understand what I mean. Men are romantic, it's their nature. Throughout history, there are very few men who are not interested in women. If there are any, most of them are not very capable. Or they have a life-long relationship with their first wife. You are young and promising, your family is wealthy, and you are not ugly. These favorable conditions are enough to attract many young girls."
Doctor Xu's expression was serious.
But when he described Zhou Can's appearance, he could have clearly used the word handsome, but he used the word ugly instead.
This made Zhou Can laugh and cry.
"If you study history in depth, you will find that those who are capable, talented, and have a wealthy family all like to marry young and beautiful wives. This is a man's instinct. Take Kang Youwei in modern times. He was over 60 years old and still married an 18-year-old girl. He was old enough to be the girl's grandfather. Later, Kang Youwei knew that his time was coming. In order to ensure that his youngest wife could live the rest of her life without worries about food and clothing, he wrote 2,000 calligraphy and paintings for her. He told her that after his death, these properties would definitely not be kept. If she needed money, she only needed to sell a painting, which would definitely be enough for her to live on."
"This is a man's responsibility. No matter who you choose as your girlfriend or wife, it is your freedom. But you can't just throw her away after playing with her. This irresponsible behavior is a bit conscienceless."
Doctor Xu just said this and didn't go into details.
He believed that Zhou Can was so smart that he would definitely know what to do.
"Teacher, don't worry. I won't be that kind of unscrupulous person."
Zhou Can did not explain that he and the female reporter were just ordinary friends. It would be better to correct his attitude instead of exaggerating.
"Well, as long as you remember this, you will never capsize."
Doctor Xu nodded with satisfaction.
Zhou Can's cheeks twitched. The teacher was indeed an experienced person!
It seems that Dr. Xu was probably also a romantic young man when he was young.
The more capable a person is, the more attractive he is to the opposite sex when he is young. Zhou Can has many beautiful young girls who admire him.
Not to mention the young female doctors and nurses in the hospital.
Just talking about the ones who are closest to him, nurse Qiao Yu, female reporter Mu Ying, and even squad leader Yang Chan, all of them have some interest in him.
As for the actress Su Qianqian, it was a surprise.
In the future, as his fame grows, I'm afraid he will attract more beautiful and outstanding girls.
But he is confident that he can remain loyal and pure in love.
