Chapter 1413 - 563: Let Your Kindness Have an Edge—Something Happened
From Zhou Can’s perspective as an observer, her family really doesn’t deserve to be called a family, exploiting their daughter to an outrageous extent.
Knowing full well she has a mortgage on her house, they still took out a 700,000 high-interest loan in her name, never considering what would happen to her?
They just assumed she had a PhD and must be making a lot of money.
This essentially forced her to use her money to repay the loan.
In fact, she’s already in such a dire situation that she needs to sell her only home to repay the loan.
How could it be possible for her to have hidden savings?
"Alright, I should be heading off. Remember, don’t go out drinking alone next time. It’s very dangerous for a girl!"
Zhou Can got up to say goodbye.
"Boss, if next time my mom cries and begs me to lend money to my brother and I agree, will you be disappointed?"
She asked.
"You’re an adult, with your own considerations and thoughts. I certainly won’t interfere in your family matters. Also, I won’t be disappointed, I’ll just think it’s a pity. You can actually handle this unequal, distorted family affection correctly to normalize your life. Do you have paper and pen?"
Zhou Can asked her.
"Yes!"
She took out paper and pen from her shoulder bag.
"Here you go!"
She handed them to Zhou Can.
"I’ll give you a phrase that can help you properly handle your parents’ and brother’s extreme exploitation and demands. If you can achieve this, I can assure you that not only will you not lose familial affection, but it will also teach them to respect you in the future."
After saying that, Zhou Can quickly wrote a line on the paper.
She squinted her eyes to read.
She then read aloud, "People can be kind; let your kindness be a little bit sharp!"
This was the phrase Zhou Can gave her.
It can help her manage her family affairs.
"I got it. Thank you for trying your best to help me."
She stood up to see Zhou Can off.
There was no romantic feeling between the two, just normal friendly interactions.
It was because of this that she felt more grateful to Zhou Can.
If Zhou Can were only interested in her body, no matter how hard he tried to help her, it would just be a transaction.
"The mastermind behind the scenes will likely be urgently trying to contact you to testify these days. Stay calm, remember what I told you, and collect the money before doing anything."
Zhou Can reminded her again before leaving, still a bit uneasy.
"Got it! Understood!"
She nodded earnestly.
When leaving, Zhou Can told her not to see him off and even thoughtfully closed the security door for her.
Such warm little details were enough to make her trust Zhou Can even more.
...
In the following days, Zhou Can began to use his after-work time to tirelessly perform surgeries for the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department, solving one difficult case after another. He even remarkably had Director Xue Yan contact the hospital’s publicity department to advertise widely to the public.
The sole purpose was to deeply distress the Third Hospital.
The stronger the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department at Tuya Hospital became and the better their achievements were, the more restless the Third Hospital would become.
"Xiao Zhou, the graduate entrance exam results are out, check your scores."
Like any other day at work, Zhou Can had just come out of the operating room when Director Lou informed him to check his exam scores.
Zhou Can had been eagerly looking forward to enhancing his academic qualifications for a long time.
After checking his score with excitement, he was stunned to find he had scored a remarkable 427 points. In his mind, scoring above 350 would have been a miracle.
With such a high score, he’s basically secured.
Even if the next interview fails, the hospital will find a way to help him adjust. As for the interview, that’s not even a concern.
"It seems my abilities have truly improved significantly!"
After calming down, he re-evaluated himself.
Over the past few years, he’s been diligently studying theoretical knowledge and tirelessly improving practical skills. One or two days might not show significant results, but with consistent effort over the years, the cumulative effect is remarkable.
There used to be many gaps in his knowledge.
Now, each one has been filled.
Moreover, his practical skills have all elevated to the attending physician level, which in turn helps him understand theoretical knowledge better.
So, it’s no surprise that he could score over four hundred this time.
After reporting his score to Director Lou, Lou seemed even happier than he was. After all, Zhou Can is now the backbone of the Emergency Department, long considered the face of the department in their training.
With only a bachelor’s degree, in this credential-oriented era, it’s somewhat lacking.
Don’t be misled by the fact that many of Tuya’s deans and vice-deans hold bachelor’s degrees. That’s because they’re over fifty years old; Zhou Can, as a young man, naturally can’t compare to them.
Currently, almost all young doctors the hospital recruits are required to have a master’s degree as a minimum qualification.
In the future, the requirements may even become higher.
After all, every year a large number of people take the graduate exams, with many successfully passing. Two or three decades ago, university graduates were rare commodities. But now, you can find them in abundance everywhere.
Perhaps in another ten or twenty years, master’s graduates will become as common as university graduates.
For Zhou Can to achieve greater success, he must adapt to society’s rules.
He doesn’t yet have the capability to change the whole societal trend.
Of course, there’s an increasing call in the medical field to break the credential-centric thinking. In the future, there might be a fair competition opportunity for those without degrees but with strong abilities.
But this is merely a possibility.
