Chapter 1102: Chapter 434: Good Things Come One After Another, You’re Drunk (2)
It’s really risky to let an intern sit in the emergency room. If something goes wrong, no one can take that responsibility.
Director Lou preferred sacrificing Zhou Can’s surgery time for a day to put him in the emergency room, probably due to strategic considerations.
Sitting in the emergency room is actually a very good training opportunity.
Because the volume in the emergency room is terrifyingly high, requiring the attending doctor to deal with matters quickly. Moreover, the emergency room is also known as the "little general department."
What does that mean?
It means you have the chance to see patients from all departments.
And you have the authority to handle them.
They hadn’t even finished their rounds before Mu Qin’s call came through.
"Greetings, Journalist Mu! Is it because the rumors have been cleared that you’re reminding me about the meal I owe you?"
Zhou Can knew that she must be well-informed.
She probably already knew the court trial results.
"I thought that with so much time passing by, you, a billionaire, might try to renege! I’ve sent you the address — see you there regardless."
"Hey, hey..."
Before Zhou Can could speak, she had already hung up.
He originally had a surgery scheduled in the cardiothoracic surgery department today, but now he had to hurry.
"If you’re hungry, buy a little snack to tide you over. I still have a surgery on this end; I might be a bit late to arrive."
Zhou Can sent her a message.
He took a glance at the coordinates sent by her and couldn’t help but frown slightly.
It’s not a five-star hotel, but a Western restaurant.
He casually checked the reviews on the navigation map about this place.
A place for couples to check-in.
Is she up to something?
Having just cleared up the rumors, Zhou Can didn’t want to jump from a wolf pack into a tiger’s den.
But having agreed to meet, it’s impossible not to go.
Going solo, it’s likely a ’Hongmen Banquet.’
After pondering, Zhou Can had a bright idea. He directly called Su Qianqian, asking her to get ready for a banquet together in the evening.
...
Forty minutes later, Zhou Can left the hospital; the most critical part of the cardiothoracic surgery had already been completed.
With Director Xue Yan, Director Le, and others present, the remaining part of the surgery would be completed smoothly.
Actually, during this period, the surgical skills of Director Xue Yan and others advanced rapidly.
Especially Director Xue Yan, who, during a previous surgery, under Zhou Can’s guidance, achieved a significant breakthrough in her steady-hand technique. After some time of consolidation and further refinement, her surgical ability is now on another level.
Gradually, she began to showcase her astonishing steady-hand talent.
Director Hu Kan was not wrong to choose her as the department director back then.
It’s worth mentioning that Jin Mingxi’s surgical abilities are also remarkably progressing. However, since his starting point was lower, he’s currently working diligently to catch up and has only started to make a mark in the short term.
Years from now, he will undoubtedly become a key talent in the cardiothoracic surgery department.
Watching his friends make significant progress one by one, Zhou Can genuinely felt happy for them.
He drove home, picked up Su Qianqian and Wei Fang, and headed straight to the restaurant.
Inside the restaurant, couples were enjoying a romantic candlelit dinner.
Handsome and beautiful faces were in abundance.
Mu Qin had put on exquisite makeup today, reserved a booth, and was sipping tea alone.
Seeing Zhou Can enter the restaurant, she happily waved over.
But upon seeing Su Qianqian next to Zhou Can, her smile slightly stiffened.
Su Qianqian, a former top-tier actress, had seen all kinds of grand occasions.
Before coming, Zhou Can hadn’t mentioned who he would be dining with.
He only mentioned a banquet.
Initially, she was puzzled, thinking it might be a colleague or class reunion.
Seeing the ambiance and the woman enthusiastically waving at Zhou Can, she immediately understood everything.
She calmly walked over to Mu Qin’s booth, smiled, and said, "I remember you. You came to our company for an interview that time at Golden Entertainment Interactive. I shamelessly tagged along when I heard about the Western cuisine tonight. You wouldn’t mind, would you?"
The confrontation between the two women was completed instantaneously.
Mu Qin realized she couldn’t compete with Su Qianqian’s aura or poise. The two were equally stunning.
Both were top-tier beauties.
"Why would I mind! It’s a pleasure to dine with a current popular singer and share a table. Please, Miss Su, take a seat!"
Mu Qin’s quick reaction was equally impressive.
In less than three seconds, she adjusted herself.
She naturally invited Su Qianqian to sit with her.
The booth could accommodate four people, suitable for opposite seating.
If it were a couple’s date, they could sit opposite each other if meeting for the first time. Lovers in a passionate relationship could sit on the same side.
Now, including Wei Fang, there were four people, making the seating arrangement a matter of subtle consideration.
If Su Qianqian and Wei Fang sat on one side, Zhou Can would inevitably end up sitting with Mu Qin.
Even if the meal went smoothly, he’d probably be in trouble at home afterward.
Zhou Can, emotionally and intellectually sharp, quickly said to Su Qianqian, "Qianqian, you and Journalist Mu seem like kindred spirits, why don’t you sit with her!"
Wei Fang was merely a driver, while Mu Qin was the honored guest of the night.
Seating the guest of honor with the driver would surely make her uncomfortable.
By bringing a girlfriend to the dinner unannounced, Zhou Can had practically put Mu Qin on the spot.
Everyone tacitly understood the situation, and she could also accept it.
As long as Zhou Can was courteous and warm to her during the dinner, she wouldn’t feel wronged.
After all, she picked such a venue for a reason, and she had less than pure intentions.
"Sure! I heard every journalist is broad-knowledgeable, with a wealth of experience. I should seize this opportunity to learn from Journalist Mu."
Su Qianqian lavished praise on Mu Qin.
"My little bit of learning pales in comparison to Miss Su’s talents. It’s like a faint glimmer compared to the bright moon. Now that the host is here, can we finally start eating? I’ve been waiting so long, I’m really a bit hungry now."
Realizing nothing could be achieved today, Mu Qin resigned to enjoy eating and drinking instead.
Soon a table full of dishes was served; out of displeasure with Zhou Can, she ordered two bottles of very expensive wine.
When toasting, Su Qianqian, who had kidney issues, couldn’t drink.
Zhou Can drank in her stead.
This led Zhou Can to grow slightly tipsy soon.
But Mu Qin drank silently, and she also got drunk fast, with her cheeks already flushed.
Looking exceptionally charming.
"Qianqian, I’m really envious of you, Dr. Zhou... is a good man. Watching him carefully nurture you, consider your feelings, it’s clear that he’s a loving husband. Nowadays, there are many scumbags with two legs, just a stretch of a finger can summon loads. But men like Dr. Zhou, who make money, are upright, especially faithful and loving spouses, are really rare!"
Mu Qin spoke with a slight lisp, indicating her intoxication.
Zhou Can worried she might say something sensitive, upsetting Su Qianqian.
Hurriedly, he put down his fork, "Mu Qin, you’re drunk. Where do you live? Should we take you home, or notify your family to come pick you up?"
"No, I’m not drunk. I like you, did you know? I’ve liked you for a long time!"
Mu Qin’s words sent a chill running down Zhou Can’s spine.
Su Qianqian’s expression visibly shifted.
"You’re drunk, stop drinking! You need to go home now!"
Zhou Can held the wine bottle, preventing her from pouring more.
"Qianqian, rest assured, witnessing Dr. Zhou’s devotion towards you today, I won’t bother him ever again. After I finish my job here, I’ll leave." Mu Qin said, then looked at Zhou Can diagonally opposite her.
"Out of the eighty thousand characters in the world, the word ’emotion’ is the most hurtful. From the day I started liking you, I knew there’d be no result. But, I just can’t help liking you, wanting to see you. Do you think I’m being cheap?"
She revealed a pained smile.
"No, I’ve never thought that. On the contrary, you’re a very kind, justice-loving good girl."
Zhou Can said sincerely.
Mu Qin wasn’t just beautiful and talented but also kind and extremely just.
However, love is a thing that no one can figure out.
