Chapter 1398 - 555: A Wise Wife Brings Fewer Troubles, the Overlooked True Director_2

This is a very interesting phenomenon.

It also sufficiently illustrates Zhou Can’s transcendent status in Cardiothoracic Surgery.

The live broadcast surgery last time made him a legend in one battle, becoming an admired doctor in many people’s hearts. Especially for the young doctors in the department, every time they come across a video related to that surgery, they feel an involuntary surge of enthusiasm and give it a like.

Zhou Can indeed brought great honor to Cardiothoracic Surgery.

"Director Zhong, could I ask a favor?"

"Please don’t use the word ’ask’. Whatever you need, just let me know, and I’ll do my best to help you without hesitation."

"When we go into surgery later, please try not to reveal your real identity. Just say you’re a colleague of mine, who heard about a particularly challenging surgery and wanted to tag along to learn a bit."

Zhou Can gave him a heads up in advance to avoid revealing the truth.

"Absolutely no problem. I actually intended to learn more surgical experience from you."

Zhong Ming agreed readily.

After the discussion, Zhou Can finished his meal and went on ward rounds, which will not be mentioned further.

Halfway through, Jiang Wei finished her meal and returned, accompanying him on the rounds. Her speed was quite fast.

Zhou Can relies heavily on her now for postoperative care and nutritional support.

With her assistance, many patients’ recovery times are significantly shortened, benefiting both the patients and the department greatly.

"All the beds have been checked. Now let’s hurry to First Hospital!"

Zhou Can said to her.

"Okay!"

Jiang Wei cheerfully nodded.

The two headed towards the emergency hall, and Zhou Can said timely, "While I was eating, a colleague heard I was going out for surgery and insisted on coming along to observe. Look, he’s been waiting there all along."

Jiang Wei was momentarily taken aback, glanced at Zhong Ming, and then smiled, "As long as you agree to let him join us, I’m fine with it. Having an extra person means extra power! This doctor looks so young, which department is he from?"

"Cardiothoracic Surgery."

"No wonder he wants to come along to learn; esophageal fistulas and Thoracic Surgery are in the same field."

They walked up to Zhong Ming, and Zhou Can introduced them.

"This is my surgical nurse Jiang Wei, a top talent from overseas elite schools with a PhD. And this is Zhong Ming, a colleague I met while working in Cardiothoracic Surgery."

Jiang Wei smiled and greeted proactively.

"Hello, Doctor Zhong!"

"Hello hello! I’m tagging along with you to learn, hope I won’t be a bother?"

Zhong Ming immediately realized his words were inappropriate once spoken.

Jiang Wei slightly blushed, lifted her fair wrist to smooth her flowing hair on both sides.

"Dr. Zhou is a family man, your words might cause misunderstandings!"

She discreetly cast a glance at Zhou Can.

However, Zhou Can remained calm, his expression clear. He harbored only admiration for Jiang Wei, without any romantic thoughts.

When one is true, they fear no shadow.

Besides, instinct suggests Jiang Wei has high standards and a proud spirit, most likely disdaining Zhou Can.

At least for now, it’s certain she is not impressed.

Although she resigned and joined Zhou Can, and at work, she shows admiration and cooperation, it’s purely for career purposes.

"Apologies if I wasn’t accurate in expressing myself. Luckily, Dr. Zhou’s wife isn’t present."

Zhong Ming’s response was quite awkward.

Many who delve deeply into specialized knowledge are like this. Despite their high expertise, they often lack in flattery and tend to demonstrate low emotional intelligence.

Because they focus all their mental capacity on learning professional knowledge.

"We don’t have much time; let’s hurry! Jiang Wei, are you driving yourself or riding with me?"

Zhou Can swiftly changed the topic.

The awkward atmosphere dissipated instantly.

"I... haven’t purchased a car! I’ll take a ride with you."

She has a considerable annual income, buying a car shouldn’t be a problem. But considering her age and short working tenure, she may have spent her earnings on buying a house.

Compared to a car for commuting, a house is a necessity.

Especially for women, they particularly value having a house. Owning a home gives them the confidence to face any pressure and serves as their sanctuary after tiring work.

"All right, let’s head to the underground parking together."

Zhou Can led them to the underground garage to retrieve the car.

"Wow, I didn’t expect you to be so wealthy, Boss! It’s a Benz!"

Jiang Wei showed a hint of envy in her eyes upon seeing Zhou Can’s Mercedes.

Eyes are the windows to the soul, and a person’s expression rarely deceives.

From her envious look, Zhou Can conjectured that her financial situation might not be as good as imagined.

But upon reflection, it makes sense; everyone here is simply an ordinary employee with limited annual income.

Even if she used to earn five hundred thousand a year, after working for three to four years, the total would be only around two million. After deducting personal income tax, the amount would be even lower.

After all, with an annual salary exceeding fifty thousand, the personal income tax is fairly high.

She would receive roughly thirty-five to thirty-six thousand.

If this money is further deducted for mortgage, daily expenses, what’s left would be even less.

Seeing her usual attention to quality clothing and cosmetics, these must be fairly pricey.

Therefore, Zhou Can guessed her financial situation was much worse than expected.

"Just a car for commuting. Get in!"

After Zhou Can finished speaking, he addressed Zhong Ming proactively.

"Gentlemen sit in the front; you take the passenger seat."

"OK!"

Zhong Ming opened the front passenger door and sat inside. Actually, Zhou Can simply preferred not having Jiang Wei in the passenger seat.

Generally, a man’s passenger seat is reserved for his wife.

...

First Hospital is quite a distance from Tu Ya, taking more than half an hour to drive there.

While in the car, Jiang Wei kept busy with her phone, apparently having contacted old classmates already.

When they just got out of the car, a young female in a white coat came to greet them.

The parking spot was specially allocated by her.

"It’s going to be a hard night! You must be Dr. Zhou, right? I’ve heard about you for a long time!"

Her appearance could be considered superior, and her demeanor is quite impressive.

She extended her fair right hand to shake Zhou Can’s.

Zhou Can merely held it for a moment, then released it.

Holding hands with a woman without letting go, or forcibly taking advantage, are typical actions of old seasoned players.

"My name is Song Qian, I’m glad to meet an exceptional young doctor like you."

Her reception heavily focused on Zhou Can, almost ignoring Zhong Ming following behind him.

It’s likely Jiang Wei informed her in advance about a doctor coming along to learn from the experience.

Understandably, someone tagging along with Zhou Can is viewed by her as just an ordinary young doctor. Naturally, she wouldn’t spend too much time and enthusiasm receiving him.

"Thank you for your trust, and thanks to your hospital for inviting us for this surgery. How is the patient’s condition now?"

Zhou Can didn’t bother with small talk.

After exchanging pleasantries, he went straight to the point.

"The patient has undergone all pre-surgery checks and preparations according to your requirements. Once you’ve reviewed them and found them satisfactory, the surgery can proceed immediately. This way, please!"

Song Qian led the way.

"The patient is considered a critical case in Digestive Surgery, with the hospital leadership placing the responsibility on my shoulders. The pressure from the clinical department is also very heavy. I had no choice but to seek external support. Fortunately, Weiwei knows you, otherwise, I know I couldn’t possibly persuade you."

She smiled gratefully at Jiang Wei.

"My boss indeed rarely steps out for a consultation, as it took much coaxing to finally get him to agree! Old classmate, you’d better treat me well, as a reward."

Jiang Wei smiled and claimed credit.

"No problem, just let me know when you’re available, and I’ll host."

Song Qian readily agreed with a smile.

The four promptly arrived at the operating room. During this time, no other hospital leaders or department heads appeared to receive them. The entire reception was solely handled by Song Qian.

In terms of formality, it was quite rudimentary.

But Zhou Can didn’t care about such things; after all, he was there to save someone.

He opened the door to the operating room and led the three of them inside.

After they changed into surgical attire, the four proceeded to the inner operating chamber.

There, seven or eight medical staff were gathered around the surgery table, waiting for Zhou Can’s arrival.
