My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Chapter 1370 543: Motives Unclear, the Gradual Retirement of the Veteran (Part 2)

This is also a way of respecting his girlfriend.

Jiang Wei quietly inquired with Qiao Yu and the others.

"Is Boss Zhou already married? His wife is so beautiful!"

"Not married yet, but I've heard they're getting married soon. Their love is truly enviable," Qiao Yu said in a slightly wistful tone.

"Our boss is so excellent, the wife he found must be equally outstanding!"

Yang Zhi chimed in from the side.

"Does she bring food to Boss Zhou every day?"

Jiang Wei's gaze turned toward Zhou Can.

"Pretty much every day! Many colleagues in the department envy their love and it's been talked about as a beautiful story."

Ma Xiaolan answered.

She's also in a relationship now, with an equally excellent boyfriend, who is at least a Ph.D. from abroad. Therefore, in the team, Ma Xiaolan is probably the least envious of Zhou Can and Su Qianqian.

When one has something themselves, they naturally won't envy others anymore.

Jiang Wei quickly walked over to Zhou Can and Su Qianqian.

"Hello, I'm a new surgical nurse on Dr. Zhou's team. My name is Jiang Wei. I just heard about your beautiful love story with Boss Zhou, and I was very touched and envious. May I get to know you?"

Jiang Wei smiled as she greeted Su Qianqian.

"Hello! Nice to meet you!"

Su Qianqian confidently offered her hand for a shake.

In terms of charisma, looks, and demeanor, no one can really outshine Su Qianqian. Even someone as strong as Jiang Wei seems a bit dim in her presence.

"I'm inviting team colleagues to dinner tonight, would it be convenient for you to join us? I can tell you're not only a successful woman but also very skilled at managing a household. I'd like to learn from you to hopefully find an ideal soulmate myself soon."

Jiang Wei started showering Su Qianqian with compliments.

But unlike others, she didn't praise Su Qianqian's beauty, instead, she praised her as a successful woman and her ability to manage a family.

These compliments were clearly more likely to make Su Qianqian happy.

A woman as beautiful as Su Qianqian must have heard compliments about her looks countless times growing up.

At this point, she actually cares less about her looks. She's more concerned about not being seen as just a pretty face.

Jiang Wei's praise of her success and skill in managing a family are exactly the areas Su Qianqian wants to show off but which outsiders rarely notice.

Jiang Wei's compliments undeniably hit the right spot in Su Qianqian's heart.

They instantly increased her fondness for Jiang Wei, and her first impression turned particularly favorable.

"Is it appropriate for me to join your team dinner as a family member?"

Su Qianqian hardly ever joined such colleague dinners, but this time she unusually agreed.

Jiang Wei really is something.

"Not only is it appropriate, but it would also satisfy everyone's curiosity about you a little! It just depends on whether you're available."

Jiang Wei cheerfully addressed her as "sister-in-law."

"Alright, I won't be polite then!"

Su Qianqian nodded in agreement.

"Zhou Can, do I have your consent to go?"

She was always so shy and reserved in front of outsiders. At home, she sweetly called him "dear," but in public, she called him by his full name.

"You make all the big and small decisions at home, so you don't need to ask me at all."

Zhou Can was already devouring his meal.

The dishes his girlfriend made were tailored to his taste, so they were particularly enjoyable.

"Haha, it seems sister-in-law holds a stable position in the family! I must learn this skill well."

Jiang Wei softly laughed with her hand over her mouth.

She quickly got along with Su Qianqian, and they chatted happily.

Zhou Can just focused on eating and listening on the side.

Sometimes, getting along with someone doesn't necessarily mean their interests or personalities align. It could be because one of them has a higher level of insight and capacity to accommodate the other.

It's what is often referred to as downward compatibility.

Jiang Wei was clearly a particularly impressive woman with a high level of insight.

Her knowledge, vision, understanding of people, and composure all surpassed those of Su Qianqian. And even Zhou Can.

Such an outstanding woman specifically came to work with Zhou Can, making him wonder if he really had that much charisma.

If Jiang Wei had ulterior motives, what could she be after?

A salary of three hundred thousand a year? She could easily get that at another hospital, perhaps even more.

"I'm done eating. Jiang Wei, why don't you and Qiao Yu go ahead and order, and Qianqian and I will join you later." Zhou Can handed the thermos to Su Qianqian.

"Alright!"

Jiang Wei nodded in agreement and looked over at Su Qianqian.

"Sister-in-law, why don't you come with us? Meeting you feels like old friends at first sight, and I would love to chat with you more if possible!"

"No problem!"

Su Qianqian agreed readily.

At this point, Zhou Can couldn't really object anymore.

Su Qianqian didn't have particularly close girlfriends or the like. Letting her connect with the outside world more is nice.

However, in Zhou Can's heart, his girlfriend is kind and innocent, and they still don't know much about where Jiang Wei came from. Her enthusiasm from their first meeting makes her intentions a bit suspicious.

Of course, it might also be just as she said, that they hit it off immediately.

Zhou Can went to check on the ward, but that's another story.

The patient in bed 21, after trying Jiang Wei's diet therapy, showed noticeably faster recovery.

Their spirits improved significantly, and they even showed a bit of color in their complexion.

Moreover, the family noted that the patient's intestinal gas increased significantly.

This is also a positive development.

Increased intestinal motility helps expel gases, aiding intestinal recovery and function.

This is particularly important for patients who had intestinal repair surgery.

Based on Zhou Can's clinical experience, if a gastrointestinal surgery patient fasts for over two days, special attention should be paid to the gradual loss of intestinal function. It's like an adult lying flat for too long; it wears down their will and decreases their physical ability.

The intestines are similar. The secretion of intestinal fluids will gradually reduce, villi will atrophy, and intestinal motility will slow down.

These will all lead to weakened post-operative digestive function.

Creating certain obstacles to the patient's post-operative recovery.

If it's an ICU patient who can't eat for prolonged periods and relies on nutritional fluids to survive, protecting intestinal function is even more crucial.

Noticing the tangible effect on the patient in bed 21, Zhou Can couldn't help but esteem Jiang Wei's nursing skills even more.

Having such a highly skilled nurse in the team is a blessing for patients.

After checking the wards, Zhou Can hurriedly headed to the location sent by Qiao Yu.

It was a restaurant less than 200 meters from the hospital, with a table full of dishes, quite sumptuous.

Moreover, the nutritional balance was well-considered.

One could tell it was Jiang Wei's handiwork at first glance.

Su Qianqian and Jiang Wei sat together, and Wei Fang was also invited to join. Additionally, Qiao Yu, Ma Xiaolan, and the others shared a favorable impression of Jiang Wei and enjoyed their conversations.

Jiang Wei had evidently become the focus and core of the gathering.

This ability to subtly dominate a gathering is not something just anyone can possess.

"Boss Zhou is the leader of our surgical team and should sit in the most honorable position. Everyone saved this seat just for you! Please have a seat! Since sister-in-law manages household matters well, Boss Zhou is free to fully dedicate himself to work, so she's also indispensable. I toast to both of you. Due to the nature of our work, let's use soft drinks instead of wine."

Right from the start, Jiang Wei toasted Zhou Can and Su Qianqian.

The atmosphere was lively and harmonious.

If circumstances permitted, Zhou Can would love to get this Jiang Wei drunk to figure out her background.

"Dr. Zhou, our surgical team now has an exceptionally excellent surgical nurse. I have a request to make of you."

Qiao Yu looked at Zhou Can.

"Go ahead!"

Zhou Can's heart skipped a beat, worried that Qiao Yu was about to resign.

"Before, I didn't dare to take time off because if I didn't work, I feared it would affect your surgical efficiency. But now, with someone to replace me, I'd like to take some time to pursue my dreams. Can I have at least two days off a week?"

Qiao Yu had been studying advanced nursing knowledge and English to prepare for studying abroad.

But her previous work schedule was very tight, so she could only squeeze in study time after work.
