My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Chapter 1021: Chapter 403: Cognition Determines Achievement, Clues to Wild Medicinal Herbs (Part 2)

At the last sentence, Qiao Yu was evidently asking Zhou Can.

"Our Beauty Qiao has such high ideological awareness. You should all learn from her. It’s okay if you don’t understand it now, but remember my words: work shouldn’t only be about making money. If you want to achieve something in the professions of doctors or nurses, you absolutely cannot focus solely on earning money."

Zhou Can couldn’t help but admire Qiao Yu even more.

She was the most conscientious nurse Zhou Can had ever met.

There were other nurses more ambitious than Qiao Yu, but their direction of striving wasn’t as clear as Qiao Yu’s. They were focused on attaining higher positions, honorific titles, and income, whereas Qiao Yu consistently adhered to her lofty ideals and goals, wholeheartedly wanting to make achievements in nursing science.

Thus, it was only natural for her to consider going abroad for further studies.

The only thing that can turn something out of nothing is a dream.

Many children’s dreams eventually become a reality when they grow up. The same applies to adults: as long as you have a dream in your heart, the outcome is usually not bad.

By the time they arrived at General Cheng’s Sichuan Restaurant, lights were already twinkling in the early evening.

This was because they had got off work rather late today.

The restaurant was still bustling, crowded with diners. With so many patrons, the taste and service of this Sichuan restaurant must be excellent.

"Welcome! Table for four, please come in!"

A female server in a short jacket was greeting guests at the door.

"There’s an empty table over there, is that okay?"

The server warmly guided the four of them.

"Sure!"

Zhou Can was the type who went with the flow, not being picky about food, drink, or accommodation.

He could stay in a large villa or in a hospital dormitory.

However, now that he had a girlfriend, staying in the hospital dormitory might prove inconvenient. He rarely stayed in the apartment anymore.

He had even moved all the medical practice equipment to the place he shared with Su Qianqian.

After all, which man doesn’t enjoy the comfort of a warm bed with a woman’s company?

That apartment had basically become Jin Mingxi’s single residence now.

"Here’s the menu. What would you like to order?"

"Qiao Yu, you order!"

Zhou Can thought she had dined here a few times and was familiar with the dishes, so it’d be more reliable for her to order.

"Don’t worry about saving money for me. Order whatever you want to eat. Ma Xiaolan and Dr. Luo, you both do the same. If you see anything on the menu you like, feel free to order it."

Zhou Can was never stingy when treating his subordinates to meals.

This included treating colleagues to late-night snacks or milk tea; he was willing to spend the money.

People who eat or take free things often feel obliged to reciprocate.

After enjoying his hospitality, colleagues were more likely to offer passionate support during work or when he needed something.

Qiao Yu ordered four dishes, balancing meat and vegetables, showing extreme sensibility in terms of price.

Luo Shishen took a look at the menu and ordered a specialty meat pie, fifteen yuan for five pieces, offering high value for the price. It was almost like they were half-selling and half-giving it away.

Ma Xiaolan pointed at a dish priced at 158 yuan for spicy beef and asked,

"Dr. Zhou, may I order this?"

How could Zhou Can refuse when she asked like that?

"Order it, of course, you can. But let’s stick to one principle: no extravagant waste."

Zhou Can didn’t care about a couple of hundred yuan.

He just felt Ma Xiaolan’s manners were far inferior to those of Qiao Yu and Luo Shishen.

Upon seeing Zhou Can driving a BMW, she immediately moved to claim the front passenger seat. Don’t think she didn’t know its significance; she understood. Her subconscious thought was to seize the co-pilot’s seat just to get ahead.

At this moment, when it came to ordering, Qiao Yu demonstrated admirable thriftiness and rational character, choosing reasonably priced and nutritionally balanced dishes, which would likely taste great as well.

Yet, Ma Xiaolan assumed Zhou Can drove a luxury car so he must be wealthy, and she approached the meal with a "let’s eat rich" mentality.

She directly ordered an expensive dish that wasn’t much cheaper than the total bill. These subtle actions would only worsen her impression and make others think less of her.

"Then get us that dish, please!"

Ma Xiaolan said to the server.

"Alright! Please enjoy some starters first, we’ll serve the main dishes as soon as they’re ready. Since we cook everything fresh, there might be a slight wait."

The server attended to the four of them and headed to the kitchen with the menu.

"Thank you, Dr. Zhou!"

Ma Xiaolan took the initiative to pour water for Zhou Can, serving him attentively.

"No need to be so formal, just enjoy the meal,"

Zhou Can naturally wouldn’t form an opinion about her over such a minor matter.

"Look over there, it seems like there are two people from a minority ethnic group!"

Qiao Yu pointed to a table in the corner.

Seeing people from ethnic minorities isn’t uncommon, as they’ve long integrated into Han society. They generally dress like Han people unless it’s a significant festival when they wear elaborate traditional clothing.

They dress in their unique traditional clothing to signify celebration.

Japan might have copied our tradition in this aspect. Most people associate kimono with being Japanese. However, a kimono is quite expensive, costing at least a few thousand yuan even for the cheapest ones.

They only splurge on a kimono for their children during coming-of-age ceremonies, and it’s only worn during major festivals, not daily.

Zhou Can looked in the direction Qiao Yu pointed, seeing two middle-aged men drinking and eating, one tall and one short, both somewhat plump. They wore bandanas and their attire was distinctive.

"They must be Tibetan!"

Zhou Can’s knowledge and experience were far beyond ordinary people’s. This is one of the advantages of being from a wealthy family—broad exposure and knowledge.
