Chapter 1363: Chapter 540: Monsters of Super Talent, If Only We Could Keep Them_2

In the end, although Zhou Can now holds a decent position, he lacks seniority and title.

The power in his hands is also pitifully small.

All these require time, various accumulations, and opportunities for promotion.

The factor hindering his rapid advancement now is his education.

If he could elevate his education to a master’s degree, he wouldn’t be so passive.

Fortunately, the preliminary results of the postgraduate entrance examination are about to be announced.

As long as he passes the preliminary, he’s almost guaranteed to be admitted for graduate studies.

“I’ve been waiting outside the operating room for you since a bit past ten this morning. I haven’t eaten yet! So, I won’t be polite!”

She laughed, patting her stomach.

“Haha, I like straightforward people like you. Come on, let’s go to the cafeteria.”

Zhou Can took her to the cafeteria together.

Qiao Yu had already prepared a meal for Zhou Can. Upon learning that this pretty lady was here to apply as a surgical nurse and would be joining Zhou Can’s team, Ma Xiaolan quickly stood up to get her meal.

After two years of training, Ma Xiaolan had made considerable progress compared to her initial impetuousness and arrogance.

Who knows how things are going between her and Du Leng?

Seeing her rosy complexion and genuine smile every day, she must be doing well. A woman nourished by love is indeed different.

Soon, Ma Xiaolan returned with the meal.

“Here! According to our leader’s rule, when treating someone to a meal, you add a drumstick. The cafeteria food isn’t spectacular, so please bear with it.”

She placed the meal in front of Jiang Wei.

“Thank you!”

Jiang Wei was slightly shy.

After nodding her gratitude, she gracefully started eating. She ate quickly and wasn’t picky, not showing any spoiled behavior.

Zhou Can observed quietly, feeling more optimistic about this female nurse.

After eating, Zhou Can asked Qiao Yu and Ma Xiaolan to chat with Jiang Wei for a while. He went to report this matter to Director Lou.

Director Lou was in the office, sipping tea, humming a tune, and reviewing some departmental statistics.

The most leisurely person in the Emergency Department would probably be him.

After all, he is the department’s top leader, many matters require his decision-making, appearance for coordination, or applications.

Plus, there are countless meetings he needs to attend.

So it’s impossible to expect him to be as busy as frontline doctors and nurses on clinical duty.

“Xiao Zhou, I haven’t seen you around for a few days. I got a new pack of good tea, brewed some for you to taste!” Director Lou was extremely pleased to see Zhou Can visiting.

Personally getting up to brew him tea.

He even reluctantly took out a pack of good tea from a locked drawer.

Zhou Can doesn’t particularly enjoy tea culture; he isn’t too interested in drinking various fine teas. But social interactions are such that leaders, to show importance, often generously bring out the best tea leaves to entertain him.

Then, he would cooperate by showing a delighted, flattered expression, carefully savoring, and expressing some ‘insight.’

It’s nothing more than praising how rare and expensive the tea is.

“Director Lou, I came to you today with good news. Just now, a nurse from another hospital quit her job to find me and wants to join my team, this lady is particularly impressive…”

Zhou Can recounted the key highlights of Jiang Wei.

“Wow, a Ph.D. from a top overseas university, preparing to pursue a postdoc, and with extensive experience in a big hospital. We’ve really struck gold this time! Honestly, I almost can’t believe such a top-tier talent would come to our Emergency Department. Her credentials aren’t fake, right?”

Director Lou, amidst his excitement, was a bit suspicious.

Because such a top-tier talent doesn’t really need to work at Tu Ya hospital.

To say she decided just from watching a surgery live broadcast by Zhou Can seems unusual. But then again, the more exceptional the talent, the more peculiar their philosophies.

Sometimes, it might just be for a belief.

“Whether the credentials are real or not, the HR department can check. I told her she needs to report to department leaders first, and once it’s approved, she can come for an interview tomorrow. By then, I can see her professional skills in the operating room to determine if she’s a mere ornament or truly talented.”

Zhou Can didn’t dismiss the suspicion.

But through his quiet observation, from Jiang Wei’s conversation and some details she showed, he felt she wasn’t lying.

“Alright, I’ll personally notify the HR department; ask her to send her resume over. Let the HR department check first. If the education is genuine, even if she’s just an ornament, have her stay. Our Emergency Department really needs such high-educated top talents.”

Director Lou placed great importance on this matter.

The Emergency Department rarely recruits high-end talents, not to mention Ph.D. graduates from top overseas universities; even Ph.D. graduates from domestic prestigious schools wouldn’t consider the Emergency Department.

Everyone scrambles to get into those influential departments, promising extensive development opportunities.

The Emergency Department is exhausting and prone to criticism; during manpower shortages, night shifts are extremely frequent. Everyone tends to avoid it.

Moreover, at such a large hospital like Tu Ya, the Emergency Department is simply divided into internal and external medicine, which is quite rudimentary.

Anyone with some experience can see the Emergency Department’s status is very low.

Some hospitals’ Emergency Departments develop so well they’re almost like small general hospitals. Their divisions are very detailed and can directly admit patients, handling various treatments. Including some non-emergency surgeries or those needing specialists, the emergency can handle them.

The sudden arrival of such a top-tier talent makes it understandable why Director Lou is so excited.

…

By the time Zhou Can came out of the operating room in the evening, Director Lou had already left him a voice message on WeChat.

Informing him that Jiang Wei’s education is real, and all verifiable credentials are authentic. Those overseas credentials difficult to verify are likely genuine too.

This means a golden opportunity really fell into Zhou Can’s lap.

This top-tier talent is genuinely willing to resign and join Zhou Can.

It inevitably made Zhou Can feel elated.

It’s unclear what exactly she appreciated about him? Character? Charisma? Surgical skills?

Regardless, recruiting such a high-level talent is a good thing.

Director Lou personally called Jiang Wei, notifying her to come for an interview at the Emergency Department with Zhou Can tomorrow.

The so-called interview, in fact, takes many forms.

Not all interviews involve setting up a table where several interviewers ask some questions to the candidate, then score based on responses.

Many companies have very flexible interviews.

For instance, companies emphasizing employee responsibility might deliberately leave a slightly open faucet in the corridor candidates walk through. Or drop trash on the ground, spill water on a slick floor to create hazards, or use the old trick of letting a broom fall over.

Though placing brooms on the ground is such a cliché, interviewers now rarely use this trick.

The next day, as soon as Zhou Can arrived at the Emergency Department, he saw Jiang Wei with her hair in a bun, exuding youthful energy. Today, she looked especially radiant.

A white shirt with rolled-up sleeves made her look efficient.

“Good morning, Dr. Zhou!”

“So early! I have to check on the wards first, come along with me!”

Zhou Can was very pleased with her work attitude.

“I heard from Qiao Yu and them that besides surgery, you personally check the wards morning and evening. I guessed you’d arrive early, so I came earlier. If I’m later than the interviewer, I was afraid you’d pass me over outright.”

She said half-jokingly.

“Haha, you’re quite observant. By the way, I wanted to ask, are your demands for salary and benefits very high? My team is just starting out, and it may be difficult to meet your expectations.”

Zhou Can wanted to probe her expectations in advance.

Recruiting such an impressive surgical nurse was something he eagerly anticipated.

Even if Qiao Yu goes abroad for further studies, the surgical team won’t lack a main nurse.

While other surgeons mostly need instrument nurses with good appearance and acceptable professional standards, they hold much higher standards for circulating nurses.

In reality, the success of surgery greatly depends on circulating nurses.

Having an experienced, highly skilled circulating nurse can provide the best possible assistance to the surgeon and anesthetist in case of surgical emergencies.

For instance, prepping all emergency drugs ahead of time, contacting the blood bank, inviting relevant specialists to assist, she can manage all this impeccably.
