My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Chapter 902: Chapter 358: Dr. Zhou Deserves the Most Credit—Such Relatives Are Better Left Behind

Twenty minutes later, Zhou Can and Dean Lu, along with others, finally emerged from the surgery.

The group was walking, with Dean Lu and Professor Wei chatting with Zhou Can in the middle. They seemed to be having a lively conversation, with Zhou Can, the resident doctor, at the center of it.

Such an unusual sight made Zhou Hai gain a new understanding of his cousin’s abilities and status.

Having true skill is indeed impressive; there’s no need to go to great lengths to forge connections with bigwigs. These powerful figures and renowned experts actively engage with you.

Aside from admiration, Zhou Hai felt envy.

"Dean Lu, Professor Wei, thank you for everything you’ve done to save my daughter, thank you! And to all the medical staff, thank you!"

Zhou Hai bowed in gratitude to them.

"Haha, don’t mention it! Dr. Zhou Can’s niece is like my niece; it’s only right to help within our capabilities. Besides, it was mainly Dr. Zhou and Professor Wei who were rescuing her, I didn’t make much of a contribution."

Dean Lu chuckled, and his words were all centered around Zhou Can.

"I can’t take credit for that; it was Dr. Zhou who actually removed the fish bone. The young are awe-inspiring; I truly witnessed how impressive Tuya’s young doctors are today! Dr. Zhou not only has solid skills but also a broad and flexible mindset, and his knowledge is extensive. It stands to reason that Tuya’s other doctors are equally excellent, no wonder Tuya Hospital’s strength continues to grow."

Professor Wei praised Zhou Can to the skies, out of genuine admiration and appreciation.

Being someone like him, there’s no reason to flatter others unduly.

Moreover, Zhou Can is currently just a resident without real power.

"I’m truly shocked by how remarkable my cousin is. No matter what, we must thank all the medical staff for their efforts in turning my daughter’s situation around."

Zhou Hai finished speaking and gave Zhou Can a deep look.

Zhou Can remained as low-key and introverted as before, not showing any signs of complacency. The more he did so, the deeper Zhou Hai’s admiration grew.

At this moment, Zhou Can’s phone rang.

He looked at it and saw it was his girlfriend calling.

"Sorry, let me take this call!"

Zhou Can stepped aside and answered the phone, "Qianqian, have you finished eating?" He had only tried a couple of dishes, as the family gathering was disrupted by unexpected events.

"I didn’t eat! Your uncle’s heart attack was pretty severe, so I brought Wei Fang and your aunt to take him to the hospital. You’re still at People’s Hospital, right?"

"I am! Where is Uncle now? I’ll be right over!"

"We’re in the outpatient hall!"

"Okay, I’ll come over with Cousin Zhou Hai."

Zhou Can hung up the phone and explained the situation to his cousin. Upon hearing this, Dean Lu wouldn’t let go of this chance to show goodwill!

Dean Lu immediately arranged for Director Wang from Cardiothoracic Surgery to personally receive and diagnose Zhou Can’s uncle.

Director Wang was overjoyed.

This opportunity to get closer to Zhou Can was naturally something he wanted to seize.

In the outpatient hall, Zhou Can saw his uncle, whose face was pale, body trembling, cold sweat on his forehead, and his facial expression showed obvious pain.

His breathing was unusually short.

After Director Wang received him, he ordered several necessary tests, providing Zhou Can’s uncle with a fast-track process for the examination, accompanied by his cousin and aunt.

Zhou Can did not immediately leave the hospital but instead quietly awaited his uncle’s test results with Qianqian.

Professor Wei is a very busy man, and this time he came with a task.

In the operating room, he chatted with Zhou Can for more than twenty minutes, seeking advice on the pathological mechanism and diagnostic approach of the boy who ate the live fish. He felt satisfied.

Before leaving, he exchanged phone numbers with Zhou Can, indicating he wanted to discuss and learn with him more in the future.

Dean Lu was also busy; after arranging the best medical resources for Zhou Can’s uncle, he hurriedly left for an important meeting at the Health Bureau.

"Qianqian, you seem a bit unhappy; is it because meeting my relatives for the first time and encountering these incidents made you upset?"

Zhou Can asked with concern.

"No!"

She shook her head.

"Did my parents say anything upset you after I left?"

"No! Uncle and aunt were very nice to me."

"Then I know, you’re reluctant to leave my hometown, wanting to stay here with me, get married, and live together!" Zhou Can playfully teased her.

"That’s not it! After you left, your cousin bought a bunch of clothes and notebooks for me to sign. And their parents did the same, later your other cousin came and bought a bunch of hats, and I was too embarrassed to refuse, so I signed them. They openly said right in front of me that they’re going to auction them online to make money."

Su Qianqian expressed her exasperation as she talked about this.

"My uncle’s family is just like that, all blinded by money. Next time, if any of my relatives, no matter who, make any unreasonable requests to you, feel free to refuse. Don’t worry about me. If I were there, I’d probably confront them."

Zhou Can’s impression of his uncle’s family wasn’t good to begin with.

Now, hearing that his girlfriend was wronged and taken as a means to make money by his uncle’s family, his disgust for them grew even stronger.

One can only say that his uncle’s family is short-sighted, narrowing their own path.

Such relatives are hard to deal with after just one encounter.

"No! Please don’t break ties with your relatives because of me! Next time, let me handle it gently." Su Qianqian wasn’t naïve; she had rich social experience and knew how to handle different situations.

At least, she had the ability to deal with the pestering of her uncle’s family.

She would rather suffer herself than refuse her uncle’s family’s rude demand, to satisfy their greed and shamelessness, all just for Zhou Can’s sake.

She feared damaging her uncle’s family’s reputation, affecting Zhou Can’s familial ties with them.

That’s all.

As they were talking, Zhou Can received a call from his cousin.

"Shang Mei, what’s up?"

Zhou Can asked, suppressing his anger.

"We’re done eating and planning to head back to the provincial city. Can we go with you? I just bought some more hats and T-shirts and wanted Qianqian to autograph them for me. I was surprised by her popularity; she signed a few hats for me before, and when I posted them online, they were quickly snatched up. For her, it’s just moving her hand, she has plenty of money, I offered her a fee but she wouldn’t accept."

The cousin was really greedy.

Still wanting Su Qianqian to sign for her.

Zhou Can took several deep breaths to suppress his fiery anger.

Next to him, Su Qianqian held his hand, signaling him not to act impulsively.

"Sorry, we have other plans and can’t travel with you."

With his wife by his side, Zhou Can managed to contain his anger.

"You and Qianqian are probably still at the hospital, right? Why not let us drive over to meet you? My brother also bought a lot of new clothes, shoes, and such."

The cousin must have made a lot of money selling those hats.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so tactless and persistent after Zhou Can refused.

"There’s no point in coming; Qianqian doesn’t have time."

After saying that, Zhou Can directly hung up the phone.

What a joke, he values family but that doesn’t mean he’s nice to everyone.

His uncle’s family doesn’t share deep feelings with him, and now they’re taking advantage without considering Zhou Can’s girlfriend’s feelings. To put it bluntly, luckily Qianqian is a gentle-natured girl.

Otherwise, she could have been provoked to break up with Zhou Can due to his uncle’s family’s shameless behavior.

Shortly after hanging up, the phone rang again.

This time it was his uncle calling.

How funny.

His cousin’s call was hung up, so the elder took over himself?

"Hello uncle, do you have something you want to talk about?"

Zhou Can still suppressed his anger and answered the call.

Maybe his uncle was calling to apologize?

"Xiao Can, your family is so rich, can’t you help your uncle’s family? Asking your girlfriend to sign a few names is not a loss for you, yet you’re unwilling to help with such a small favor?"

His uncle called, abruptly launching a barrage of accusations.

In his uncle’s view, it was only right for Qianqian to sign for them.

"No matter how wealthy our family is, it’s all the result of my parents’ hard work. No matter how rich my girlfriend is, it’s what she’s earned herself, and it has nothing to do with your family. Speaking of helping, when my family was in trouble, what help did your family offer us?"

Zhou Can finally erupted.

What nonsense, taking advantage of being an elder to suppress him with seniority and using family ties to coerce him.

Such relatives are better off without.
