Chapter 1104: Chapter 435: First Time Famous Nationwide, Departure (2)
Compared to the last appearance as a supporting role, this time he was definitely the main character.
That day, his phone was blowing up.
Busy in the operating room, he didn’t have time to answer the calls. Text messages bursting with blessings and greetings flooded in.
Even classmates and teachers he hadn’t contacted in ages sent him congratulations.
Even the principal of Tuya Medical College sent him an encouraging message.
This immense honor made Zhou Can feel a bit dizzy.
He felt light-footed, filled with endless joy and undeniable excitement.
Just as Director Lou said, many doctors wait a lifetime for such an opportunity for publicity.
After work in the evening, Zhou Can declined Qiao Yu and the others’ suggestion to celebrate for him. The brighter the moment, the more he needed to stay calm, to maintain his original intentions, and continue to forge ahead.
His mom called again.
Zhou Can quickly answered.
“Son, did you watch TV? Your cousin called saying he saw you on the news. At first, I didn’t believe it, but then I quickly checked the satellite TV replay online, and it turned out to be true. It made your dad and me happier than earning a billion.”
His mom sounded very excited on the other end of the phone.
The voice was full of joy and pride.
“Mom, it’s really nothing. The hospital just felt I did a good job and decided to give me some publicity. How are you and dad’s health?” As a son, not being able to be by his parents’ side to accompany them was a helplessness for Zhou Can.
Every child must venture out when they grow up.
Just like a fledgling eagle that will eventually soar into the sky.
“Our health is fine, but it’s awfully quiet when we return home. You’ve been in a relationship with Miss Qianqian for so long; it’s time to get married, right? Don’t worry about money. Your dad and I will borrow money to buy you a villa in the provincial capital, furnished for a grand wedding for you two.”
His mom would urge him to marry almost every time she called.
Perhaps parents everywhere are similar.
Sons at a certain age should marry, and daughters at a certain age should wed. It’s a complete life.
In the provincial capital, a typical villa costs around five million, in a slightly remote area, without decoration, even possibly three million. After overcoming the last crisis, his parents’ food processing factory should have some surplus.
Especially after the expansion and production increase, its profitability should be stronger.
Earning three to four million a year shouldn’t be a problem.
Mentioning borrowing to buy a wedding house surely points to buying a high-end villa priced over ten million.
Even today, good property remains one of the most value-retaining assets.
Perhaps she doesn’t know, her son is now much wealthier than they are.
“Mom, don’t worry about this! Qianqian and I are at a critical career stage, so let’s push back the marriage. As for buying a wedding house, you and dad don’t need to worry; we’ll earn the money ourselves.”
Zhou Can only had two strategies to deal with parents’ urging to marry.
Busy with work, in a critical career advancement phase.
“Son, there are some things I shouldn’t say and shouldn’t meddle in your young folks’ lives. But as a man, you shouldn’t spend a girl’s money. Especially in big matters like buying a house, you need to take responsibility, as it affects your future status at home, understand?”
His mom knows Su Qianqian is a famous female singer; she believes Zhou Can will need the woman to contribute for the wedding house.
To many, a star is a synonym for wealth.
“I understand, no need to worry, I have it figured out. Oh, our department head is calling, probably something urgent, let’s chat later!”
After speaking, Zhou Can hung up the phone.
What he feared most about talking to his mom was discussing these issues.
As he now has his own company, not telling his parents about having assets over a billion is correct. It’s a form of protection for them.
Just as they encountered a crisis last time, at a critical moment, Zhou Can was able to handle it.
Even the best card ceases to be a trump card once revealed.
Upon returning home, as soon as he entered, he saw Su Qianqian had prepared a table full of his favorite dishes.
Wei Fang was helping out in the kitchen.
“Darling, these are your favorite dishes, wash your hands, dinner is ready.”
Su Qianqian, donning an apron, welcomed him with a smile.
“Is it someone’s birthday today?”
Zhou Can asked, puzzled.
“Silly, it’s to celebrate you! My future husband was on TV, I must celebrate. Life’s career journey is about climbing step by step to the peak! Go wash your hands!”
This time’s news publicity seemed even stronger than last time.
Right away, almost all relatives and friends around knew about it.
With a virtuous wife at home, Zhou Can accepted this abundant love.
…
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed.
After Zhou Can was featured as the leading role on television news, he indeed felt the great benefits of fame.
Many patients flocked in, all wanting him to treat them by name.
The Emergency Department opened a personal emergency number for Zhou Can. Tentatively scheduled to sit in emergency every Friday during the day.
Moreover, a good news: the emergency application to establish a new operating room project finally passed approval and sped up implementation. According to reliable sources, construction will start next month.
Given the spike in diagnostic business volume in the emergency department, the hospital likewise supports strongly and allocates five doctors and ten nurses.
Even though among these fifteen slots were two intern doctors and five intern nurses.
For the Emergency Department, it’s still a remarkably significant infusion of fresh blood.
Zhou Can’s surgical team had been lacking a ‘capable’ surgical assistant.
After the emergency department added three formal doctors, Director Lou specially picked one with a certain surgical foundation.
Of course, don’t expect any high-quality surgical doctors.
They are all essentially cast-offs from the surgical specialty department.
Truly promising surgical doctors, even in a top provincial hospital like Tuya, are still scarce talents. No department would hand them over easily.
To obtain high-quality surgical doctors, internal medicine doctors, there’s only one way, which is to train them yourself.
For a department not considered strong, poaching talents is basically impossible.
Especially in such public hospitals, rules and regulations limit the scope of operation. High-salaried talent poaching would likely escalate to a strategic level for the hospital.
Originally, Director Lou planned to allocate this new doctor directly to Zhou Can as an assistant.
However, Zhou Can refused.
His suggestion was to let this new doctor replace Dr. Lu’s position. If he performs well, Zhou Can would consider bringing him into the surgical team.
Last time Ma Xiaolan joined the surgical team, it profoundly affected him. Bringing in someone unreliable would be troublesome.
Now the selection criterion is simply, rather lack than compromise.
If unable to find suitable talents, it’s better to wait.
During lunch, Zhou Can received a special WeChat message.
It was sent by Mu Qin.
“I’m leaving, thank heaven for letting me meet you. If possible, allow me to remain in your WeChat friends list, I promise not to disturb you.”
The message was sent around 9:50 AM.
But as Zhou Can was busy, playing on the phone in the operating room is impossible.
Only just now did he see the message, she must have already boarded the plane.
But even if he saw it then, what difference would it make?
He couldn’t possibly go to the airport to see her off.
Sometimes adults must restrain their emotions.
“Wishing you well!”
Only three words.
He hoped she would soon find her other half in life. For a woman to forget a man, it just requires the appearance of another man.
The only concern is her high standards for choosing a partner.
With Zhou Can’s understanding of Mu Qin, she’s somewhat like the ancient talented woman Wanqing, only a man who can resonate with her soul, match her talent, can win her heart.
At this moment, Zhou Can’s phone rang.
Recently, his phone frequently missed calls. If not particularly crucial, if missed, he can only offer apologies.
Especially calls from distant alumni or colleagues trying to consult medical issues or hoping to use connections to join Tuya and follow him.
Zhou Can doesn’t bother to answer such calls at all.
Purely a waste of words.
“Hello! Who am I speaking to?”
Zhou Can politely asked after answering.
This number had called him several times, but due to performing surgery, he hadn’t picked up.
“Dr. Zhou, I’m Old Qin, the photographer from the TV station.”
“Oh, it’s you! What’s up, Old Qin?”
Zhou Can had a good impression of Old Qin, quiet, reasonable-minded.
