My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Chapter 955: Chapter 378: Selection of Department Head, Bad News (Part 2)

This is the authority of the department leader.

Cardiothoracic Surgery is actually composed of two specialties: cardiac and thoracic. If cardiac surgery is separated out, thoracic surgery’s status is not much different from a minor role.

Director Hee’s status in Cardiothoracic Surgery is not as high as imagined.

At least the medical staff in the cardiac field do not really acknowledge Director Hee.

“Teacher, don’t be upset! If Vice Director Hee is not suitable, then what about Director Le? He has seniority over me and his medical skills are not inferior to mine!”

Xue Yan seems not interested in becoming the head of the department.

If it were someone else, they would have eagerly accepted such a good opportunity.

Who would pass it up!

“Director Le’s potential in medical skills is actually not as good as yours, and he lacks a strategic vision and foresight. He lacks the decisiveness needed to make tough decisions. Not only can he not serve as the head of the department, but he also cannot be the vice-director. In the future, when you select a deputy director for the department, you must consider comprehensively and not act based on personal feelings.”

Director Hu speaks with clarity and insight, indicating that he is very clear-headed as he talks to Zhou Can and Xue Yan.

These thoughts are likely choices he made after careful observation and deliberation over recent days.

Mercy cannot lead an army, and justice cannot run business.

The role of department head is not something that just anyone can take on.

Not only is excellent medical skill necessary, but one must also have outstanding management and coordination abilities and foresight.

This is also why many department heads are sometimes not chief physicians but might be attending physicians.

It’s not because those chief physicians only focus on academics, ignoring external matters, and have no time for management work.

Rather, many of those engaged in research and academia are only suitable as technical talents and cannot handle managerial roles.

“The most suitable person now for the position of head of Cardiothoracic Surgery is you! Handing Cardiothoracic Surgery over to you means even if I die one day, I would leave peacefully.”

Director Hu Kan looks at Xue Yan with a hint of a plea in his eyes.

This is an elder pleading to ensure the department’s stability and prosperity.

“I promise you! A bit of hardship and fatigue is nothing, I just fear failing your high expectations.”

Xue Yan agrees in the face of Director Hu’s pleading gaze.

She is a woman of kind heart.

Director Hu Kan is her mentor; facing his plea, she couldn’t refuse.

“Do well, I trust I haven’t misjudged you! For any major issues, you can consult with others. Especially with Xiao Zhou, you can listen to his opinions more often.”

Director Hu Kan’s approval of Zhou Can is beyond imagination.

It’s not just an acknowledgment of his medical skills, but of his character and his way of doing things.

“I will remember your advice!”

Xue Yan nods earnestly.

“You should all go home and rest early! Goodbye!”

Director Hu Kan waves at them, his car starts and slowly drives into the distance.

No one expected that such important matters would be arranged when sending Director Hu downstairs tonight.

“Sister Yan, just go ahead and be the department head without worries. Whenever there’s a need for my help, just call me anytime. In fact, even if you don’t call, I would consciously offer my help. It’s just you know, as I lead my surgery team in the Emergency Department, once I get busy, it’s difficult to get updates from Cardiothoracic Surgery in a timely manner.”

Zhou Can is very supportive of Xue Yan becoming the department head.

Whether for personal feelings or interests, Xue Yan becoming the department head is what Zhou Can wishes for.

“Hmm, I won’t be too polite with you.” She nods, their eyes meet, they exchange smiles, and everything is understood without words.

…

Zhou Can directly heads to the garage, as he now rarely returns to the dormitory, but instead goes back to live with Su Qianqian by Bajing Lake.

At home, Su Qianqian is sitting on the sofa in the living room waiting for him.

Now, under Zhou Can’s strong intervention, her work has become less busy.

Understandably, Zhou Can is her boss, so arranging this was not particularly difficult.

Li Lao also understands.

A mature entertainment company cannot rely on a single artist. As Su Qianqian gradually fades out, resources for promotion and packaging are then used for other artists, and new stars emerge.

At most, those newly created stars may not be as popular as Su Qianqian.

This world doesn’t stop running because of anyone.

People are the most important creatures in this world, yet also the most adaptable. If we observe closely, we find that without anyone, we can still live well.

Whether it is childhood sweethearts or our parents who gave birth and raised us.

At most, we feel sadness upon their immediate departure.

After some time, as sadness slowly fades, we gradually return to normal life.

“Darling, I saved some food for you! It’s kept warm in the thermal box!”

Seeing him return, Su Qianqian immediately puts down the lyrics and sheet music in her hand and runs to the door to welcome him.

Such a sweet welcome is generally more common in Japan.

Their deep affection, and the fact that her current job is less hectic, makes her especially happy every time she sees Zhou Can return.

The world of feeling between two people is essentially just like that.

Even if Zhou Can is busy until eleven or twelve every day, he still drives for more than forty minutes back to their home by Bajing Lake, all just to see her.

Because he knows she is at home waiting for him to return.

“Even though I’ve eaten at the hospital, I must have some of my wife’s home-cooked meals.”

He actually had some fried noodles before leaving work.

Su Qianqian’s thoughtful gesture, he couldn’t bear to refuse.

He takes the meal, eats a few bites.

Then, because the food she makes is so delicious, he can’t stop after a few bites.

“No, no, if I keep eating like this, I’ll get fatter and fatter. Qianqian, next time if I message you that I won’t be home to eat, don’t save me any food, okay?”

As he cleans up the dishes and places them in the dishwasher, he discusses with Su Qianqian.

“Hmm… I’ll see the situation! Actually, the meals I prepare are all healthy dishes that won’t cause weight gain. If you say you won’t be coming home to eat, I won’t have much interest in cooking. So, I really hope you can come home for dinner every day. In the future, when we have kids, it’ll be even more important to have a warm family environment.”

After treatment with traditional medical therapies, her health has shown signs of recovery.

So, she has started looking forward to their wedding and life with kids after marriage.

Their current savings are sufficient to buy a villa anywhere in the provincial city.

Yet people are peculiar like this.

Having money, she is no longer in a hurry to buy a villa. This apartment is their place of love, and it holds special meaning for her.

The apartment itself is also very nice, belonging to a high-end estate.

The community environment and the surrounding facilities are all excellent.

Therefore, she loves living here.

“I certainly hope to come home for dinner every day and cherish every minute with you. But you know, due to the nature of my job, sometimes while saving patients’ lives, I just can’t attend to anything else. Maybe if I keep at it for a few more years and my experience grows, when the surgery team is stable, I might achieve this simplest of wishes.”

Zhou Can has a clear plan for his life.

Now isn’t the time for leisure; it’s time to strive.

“Alright! You tirelessly coming over to accompany me every day at such a late hour already makes me very happy.”

She’s different from those women who make unreasonable demands; she has a very open perspective.

She is willing to compromise when needed, and when it’s time to be flexible, she never stubbornly sticks to her opinion.

“You have to be at the hospital by seven in the morning, so hurry and take a shower and go to bed!”

She has already found Zhou Can’s pajamas.

Having a girlfriend, for a man, is indeed a very happy thing.

…

In the middle of the night, Zhou Can was half-asleep when his phone kept ringing.

He fought off sleepiness, groped for it, and answered, “Hello, who is this?”

“Dr. Zhou, come to the hospital quickly, Director Hu Kan is in trouble.”

Zhou Can’s sleepiness instantly disappeared halfway.

“What happened to Director Hu?”

He recalled yesterday evening when Director Hu was still fine as he was seen off home.

“I’m not exactly sure, the family urgently brought him to the hospital for emergency treatment in the middle of the night, brought back by an ambulance. Maybe the heart disease has relapsed. He is currently being rescued in Cardiothoracic Surgery’s second operating room, please come quickly!”

“Okay, I’m coming over immediately. It’s just that my residence is a bit far, so it might take about an hour.”

Zhou Can hung up the phone and quickly got up to get dressed.
