Chapter 405: Lao Jin's embarrassing situation, found the right person
Director Xueyan now only reports good news to Zhou Can and never reports bad news.
Many difficulties were not told to Zhou Can.
I can understand her thoughts, she just doesn't want to affect Zhou Can's work in the emergency department too much. And many things, even if I tell Zhou Can, are useless.
Unless it was something particularly important, she would seek Zhou Can's help or discuss it with him.
For example, when she was competing for the position of director of the cardiothoracic surgery department, she took the initiative to seek help from Zhou Can.
The fact that the Third Hospital had brought in Japanese cardiac surgery experts and equipment also made her panic. She took the initiative to send a message to Zhou Can to inform him of the situation.
As for the recent management situation, diagnosis and treatment business status, and operating room conditions of the cardiothoracic surgery department, she had never told Zhou Can about them.
Carrying Cordyceps, Zhou Can came to the apartment where Jin Mingxi lived and knocked on the door.
"Who, who?"
Jin Mingxi seemed to be sleeping, but the light inside was on.
"It's me!"
Zhou Can answered while standing outside the door.
In fact, he has the access key to the dormitory, but he seldom lives here now, so it is polite to knock on the door before entering.
"Is it Zhou Can?"
Jin Mingxi asked.
"You can still recognize my voice! Are you sleeping? I'll swipe my access card and come in!"
As Zhou Can spoke, he began to search for the access key.
This key is only as big as a mineral water bottle cap, button-shaped, and blue. Just lean it against the door lock, and with a beep, the magnetic lock of the door will open automatically.
Convenient and safe.
But there is also a disadvantage. In case of a power outage, the door may not be able to open.
Later, due to the potential fire escape risks, the hospital installed a backup power supply.
After all, doctors who can live in luxury apartments are basically the future pillars of the hospital. If something really happens, the hospital will suffer heavy losses.
"Wait a minute, I'll be right over to open the door!"
There was a hint of panic in Jin Mingxi's voice.
Zhou Can was puzzled. What was this guy doing in there?
After waiting patiently for more than three minutes, the door finally opened from the inside.
"Old Jin, you took so long to open the door, are you hiding a mistress?"
Zhou Can saw that Jin Mingxi's clothes were very messy, and her shirt was even worn backwards. It was obvious that she had put it on in a hurry.
"Well... I really didn't expect you to stay here today. My classmates are coming over."
Jin Mingxi's face was full of embarrassment.
Zhou Can looked into the room, and then saw Jin Mingxi's female classmate named Ye Zi, whose face was blushing, her clothes were also a little messy, and her hair was draped over her shoulders, looking very charming.
"Haha, it's really a classmate who's here! It's okay, I bought a large batch of Chinese medicinal herbs, including a lot of Cordyceps. I heard that this stuff nourishes the kidneys and can enhance immunity. You can use it just right, take it and soak it in water to drink."
Zhou Can saw Jin Mingxi bringing his female classmate back to sleep, so he didn't go in.
Just stand at the door and say it.
In the past, when Su Qianqian came to date Zhou Can, Jin Mingxi often gave him an easy way out. He either made excuses to go back to the hospital to work overtime, or said he had something to do and left.
At this moment, Zhou Can felt that it was a bit immoral for Jin Mingxi, a married man, to cross the line with his female classmate.
But he won't interfere.
On the contrary, since the other party had finally brought the female classmate here, he would not be the evil person who broke up the couple.
"Um...you guys continue. I have something else to do so I'll leave first. I won't be here for a long time. Next time I come, I'll send a message to Old Jin in advance."
After Zhou Can finished speaking, he glanced at Jin Mingxi with a wicked smile.
“Let’s go!”
After giving the Cordyceps to Jin Mingxi, he turned and left.
Ye Zi in the house looked very shy and didn't even dare to look up at Zhou Can.
"Thank you!"
Jin Mingxi thanked him from behind.
"Go in and get busy!"
Zhou Can waved his hand without even turning his head. Ye Zi blushed again after hearing this.
After Jin Mingxi entered the room, he smiled and comforted Ye Zi, "It's okay, Zhou Can is just like that. He is my best buddy."
"I told you to come to my place a long time ago, but you didn't listen. Now your colleagues saw us. How embarrassing..."
Leaf's complaints were heard.
Dating is risky. It’s not enough to guard against fire, theft and your wife, you also have to guard against your colleagues.
Zhou Can walked downstairs and just shook his head.
He had long thought that there would be problems between Jin Mingxi and his female classmate Ye Zi, and now it really happened . When men and women get together, it is easy for problems to arise.
This made him think of himself and Qiao Yu. Because of work, they were actually quite close.
She has always been like a good wife, helping Zhou Can take care of everything at work.
Some things are nothing more than self-deception.
It’s just that she plays a very important role in Zhou Can’s surgical team, and she is completely responsible for the team’s operations.
The team can still move without her, but it moves slowly and is prone to making mistakes in some details.
As for the emergency surgery during the rescue process, only Qiao Yu could achieve perfect cooperation with Zhou Can in all aspects. It was unlikely that Qiao Yu would be replaced.
To put it bluntly, Zhou Can was reluctant to let go psychologically and emotionally. From the perspective of team development, Qiao Yu was also needed.
His surgical team had just started, and the fact that they were able to make rapid progress and complete so many surgeries in a month was definitely not just Zhou Can's credit. Qiao Yu's credit accounted for at least 40%.
After walking out of the dormitory, Zhou Can was thinking about buying some gifts before visiting Cao Zhengguo.
I looked at my watch and it was almost eight o'clock.
If we delay any longer, it will become a late night visit, which is extremely impolite.
Many people have the habit of going to bed early.
Especially some retired senior officials pay great attention to health care. They don't have much to do every day, just grow flowers, walk birds, have dinner with comrades, retired friends or good friends, and maintain a good circle of friends in their later years.
After many senior officials retire, their influence is still huge, and they are not overshadowed by the public.
This is because they are good at maintaining a circle of friends in their later years after retirement.
There are ready-made ones on the gift cart.
Some tonic medicines in Chinese herbal medicine are suitable for both young and old, and are a good choice as gifts .
It is purely wild and has a special feel.
Sitting in the car, he simply dialed the number that he hadn't dialed in three years.
In order to cure his girlfriend, he used almost all the strength he could.
After a few rings, the call was connected.
"Who?"
An old and powerful voice was heard, and the invisible majesty of the superior could be felt even through the phone.
"Are you Mr. Cao Zhengguo? I'm Zhou Can, a doctor at Tuya Hospital!"
Zhou Can seemed quite nervous, his palms were sweating.
"Oh, it's you! How have you been lately, young man?"
Cao Zhengguo obviously always remembered Zhou Can.
After all, he was the savior of his daughter and grandson.
"Thank you for your concern. Everything is fine. But my girlfriend has a very difficult disease and needs two main medicines that have long been extinct on the market. I found some clues about one of the main medicines, but unfortunately, after trying many methods, I still couldn't get in touch with the other party. I thought you should have a wide network of contacts in the health system and maybe you can get to know her."
Zhou Can briefly recounted what had happened.
"Well, you have an open mind, young man. Tell me, who is the person you want to meet?"
After listening to this, Cao Zhengguo asked calmly.
"If it's convenient, I would like to visit you first."
Asking for favors may be done over the phone, but when it comes to maintaining important personal connections, Zhou Can hopes there will be a next time.
Visiting is just an excuse. His real purpose is to give gifts, build closer relationships, return the favor, and make the network relationship last longer.
"It's convenient. I'm retired and at home, so any time is convenient. I'm very happy that you can come over and chat. You're welcome anytime."
Cao Zhengguo's attitude towards him was quite friendly and enthusiastic.
After all, he is a benefactor.
Moreover, he probably knew about Zhou Can's performance in the hospital, and he liked Zhou Can even more for his potential.
If he is simply a lifesaver, it has some weight, but it is limited.
For someone like Zhou Can, who has the dual identities of a savior and a potential stock, his weight and value must be much higher in Cao Zhengguo's eyes.
Just imagine, if a passing beggar saved our life, most people would give him some money as a thank you.
To be kinder and more grateful, at most we should pay attention to the beggar's whereabouts and provide some help within our ability, such as helping him go home or finding a job to end his begging life.
As for becoming true friends with beggars and treating them equally, it is almost impossible.
Because the identities of both parties are not equal.
The relationship between Zhou Can and Cao Zhengguo is similar.
If Zhou Can was just an ordinary doctor with limited potential, he would actually be of little value in the eyes of high-ranking officials like Cao Zhengguo.
Zhou Can was very hardworking. In just three years, he had already entered the reserve army of the famous doctor hall and became one of Tuya's core talents. His future was bright, and at the very least, he had the potential to become a leader in a certain discipline of Tuya.
With this value, his level can be greatly improved.
Even though there is a gap between him and Cao Zhengguo, at least he is not a 'beggar'.
Moreover, Cao Zhengguo is already a retired person, and his value is constantly decreasing. His status level will also decrease accordingly.
Zhou Can, however, was like the rising sun, rising continuously. As one rose while the other fell, the two of them sat together and had the opportunity to have an equal dialogue.
"Then I'll come to you now, okay?"
"No problem! I live at No. 27 Gutian Road."
Cao Zhengguo readily gave him the address.
"Okay, I'll be right there. See you later."
As soon as Zhou Can heard the address, he knew it was probably a detached villa.
When you know a person's address, if it is the residential area, building number, floor number, then it is definitely an ordinary high-rise residential building. If it is number in a certain residential area, or number on a certain street, then it is most likely a villa or a single-family house.
It is a symbol of status and financial strength.
Zhou Can actually didn't know much about Cao Zhengguo. When he received his business card, there was no position on it, so he tried to search online. The only person who matched his position was a retired senior official in the health department.
Someone who can influence the selection of the president of a hospital of Tuya's size cannot be of low status.
Gutian Road is not far away, near Nanjiao Park.
There are relatively few high-rise buildings and residential buildings in that area, but there are many public buildings. The Nanjiao Park and the Wildlife Park alone already cover a very large area.
If you want to retire, living in that area would be a very good idea.
More than half an hour later, he successfully arrived at No. 27 Gutian Road.
As expected, it was an independent villa.
The car had just stopped at the door and he was about to get out and ring the doorbell, but unexpectedly the door opened automatically.
There is a camera on the door, so people inside can easily know when guests come outside.
From this point, it can also be seen that Cao Zhengguo attaches great importance to his visit.
"Is it Xiao Zhou?"
An energetic old man walked out of the house quickly, his gait was as vigorous as the wind, his body was straight, without any hunchback or stoop due to old age.
"Yes, it's me!"
"Drive the car in and park it there."
The front yard of the villa is not particularly large, but the layout is simple yet grand.
Many high-ranking officials’ residences pursue a balance between low-keyness and luxury.
The four words "a different world" are their favorites.
It looks ordinary from the outside, but once you go inside, it is magnificent or unique. The developer has identified the needs of this group of high-end consumers and designed the villa with a relatively small and simple garden in front.
The back garden is bigger than you can imagine.
There is no problem building a swimming pool or a basketball court.
After getting off the car, Zhou Can carried two wild medicinal herbs that he had prepared long ago and walked quickly towards Cao Zhengguo who came out to greet him.
"Mr. Cao, I haven't seen you for three years. You are still as healthy and graceful as ever! I am sorry to bother you so late at night."
Zhou Can shook hands with the other party.
By the way, this old man Cao Zhengguo is at least in his sixties, maybe even over seventy years old.
Not only is his body strong, but his wrists are also particularly powerful.
Fortunately, Zhou Can is a martial artist, otherwise most people would probably cry out in pain if they shook hands with him.
"Hey, young man, you have quite a strong hand!"
When Cao Zhengguo shook hands with him, he was also tentative. After finding that Zhou Can's hand was very strong, he gradually increased his strength.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Can remained calm and composed with a natural look.
"Haha, I usually have the habit of exercising, so I am slightly better than the pretty boy."
Zhou Can answered modestly.
"I bought a lot of wild Chinese herbs to find two medicinal herbs for my girlfriend. I picked two that are suitable for you at random. You can soak them in water and drink them like tea!"
Zhou Can handed over two carefully selected Chinese medicinal herbs.
"Just come over to chat, why bring a gift? You're so thoughtful, young man!"
Cao Zhengguo took the bag without refusing.
"Come inside and have some tea!"
He was led all the way and welcomed into the tea room in the living room.
This tea room is decorated quite elegantly.
Zhou Can immediately saw the group photos hanging on the wall, which included many high-ranking officials, politicians, and comrades-in-arms. This also shows how wide Cao Zhengguo's network of contacts is.
The water on the table has boiled and is steaming.
If Cao Zhengguo hadn't been drinking tea before Zhou Can came, then he would have had some intention.
It means that he knew Zhou Can was coming, so he boiled water and was ready to entertain the guest at any time.
"Tell me, who is the person you want to meet?"
After Cao Zhengguo sat down, he asked straight to the point.
This old man's personality is more straightforward than I thought!
"I want to meet the person in charge of Rui's Enterprise. I need to buy a medicinal herb called Purple-backed Octagonal Lotus from this company. This medicinal herb is very special. Rui's Enterprise is currently in the stage of artificial cultivation and has not yet put it on the market for sale."
Zhou Can explained the whole story.
"The little girl from the Rui family has indeed been promoting some research projects on extinct Chinese herbal medicines in recent years. I'm not sure whether the herb you mentioned exists. It's no problem for me to give you a connection. But as agreed beforehand, I can only give you a connection. Qingning is stubborn and opinionated, and I can't influence her ideas. I can't guarantee whether I can get the herb you want from her."
From Cao Zhengguo's words, it seemed that he was very familiar with the person in charge of Rui's Enterprise.
It seems that I have found the right person tonight.
"It's already a huge favor that you can help me with this. I won't ask for anything else."
Zhou Can made a solemn statement.
"Okay, I'll call you now."
Cao Zhengguo picked up his phone and started looking through numbers. In front of Zhou Can, he called the person in charge of Rui's Enterprise.
