Chapter 975: Chapter 386: Assigned Seats, The Emergency Department’s Path to Strength Begins

"Really? Where did Journalist Mu get this news from?"

Zhou Can pretended to be clueless.

How could he possibly leak such things? If the hospital found out, no matter how promising he was, he would be sidelined.

One must have a sense of measure when behaving, and moderation in action.

Just having skills without knowing how to interact with others won’t get you far.

"Hahaha... don’t pretend you don’t know! I’ve already learned about this from insiders at your hospital; you are one of Director Hu’s successors, so you can’t possibly be unaware."

Mu Qin really had her finger on the pulse, even knowing that Zhou Can was one of Director Hu’s successors.

"Journalist Mu also said that I’m just one of Director Hu’s successors, why assume I’m certain about this matter? I’ve returned to work in the Emergency Department, I haven’t been in Cardiothoracic Surgery for a long time. So, you dialed the wrong number."

After saying so, Zhou Can prepared to hang up the phone.

It’s usually wise to avoid female reporters.

Last time at Xinxiang Women and Children’s Hospital, he formed a brief connection with her. She didn’t harass Zhou Can, just occasionally called him or sent him a few messages to chat.

It’s about maintaining relations.

This is understandable.

To be a journalist, one needs a wide circle of friends and diverse channels to stay informed.

The adult world is usually very pragmatic.

If you don’t keep in touch over a long period, relationships can easily grow distant. When something comes up, it’s not effective to suddenly seek help.

Professions like salespeople, journalists, hotel managers, etc., especially need to maintain their networks; keeping good customer relations is very important.

People with deposits or high-quality assets exceeding millions are typically on banks’ key contact lists.

Officials with a bit of power have even more people targeting them.

"Hey, if you dare hang up on me, I’ll come to your door today, believe it or not?"

Mu Qin got anxious on the other end of the phone.

Zhou Can hanging up on her wasn’t a new occurrence.

"Dear lady, what exactly do you want to ask? I’m driving right now, really can’t chat for long."

Zhou Can said, feeling helpless.

Her beauty and charm might work on others, but had no effect on Zhou Can.

To put it bluntly, even if she invited Zhou Can to a hotel now, he would feel nothing.

"Just tell me Director Hu’s address; I promise not to reveal a word to anyone." She made her request.

"I’m really sorry, I would like to tell you where Director Hu lives, but unfortunately, I really don’t know. Don’t you have contacts at Tuya Hospital? Ask them... ah, that was close, almost had an accident, let’s not chat!"

After speaking, Zhou Can hung up.

If Mu Qin really did come to block his doorway, there would be nothing he could do. The prerequisite is, she has to know where Zhou Can lives first.

Of course, after hanging up, he would certainly not be spared from her criticism.

Anyway, Zhou Can would not disclose any information about his mentor’s death or related news to a reporter.

...

The next day, Zhou Can arrived at the Emergency Department at seven thirty sharp in the morning.

The reason was that the department had notified him by text message to attend a brief meeting in the doctor’s office at seven thirty.

Many people think the place where Emergency Department doctors sit is called the doctor’s office, but that’s actually the consultation room. It’s specifically for diagnosing patients.

The real office is at the back!

All official doctors in the Emergency Department have a spot here. Director Lou has his own separate small office.

The deputy director of the department, Han Changqing, doesn’t have this privilege.

In other departments with more clout, senior specialists might have their own small office. This depends on resource allocation.

Resources in the Emergency Department are almost always tight, so being able to allocate a small room for Director Lou to have a separate office is decent.

It’s also needed for work purposes.

If the department director worked alongside everyone, it would not only make everyone extremely uncomfortable, like having an invisible mountain over their heads, but also hinder the director’s work.

Imagine if the director had conversations while everyone heard them, what would result from that?

If discussing confidential matters, the conversation could quickly spread throughout the department.

If criticizing a colleague, that colleague might feel extremely demoralized.

If the hospital leaders or leaders from other departments came to discuss things with Director Lou, it would be even more inappropriate.

After Zhou Can entered the doctor’s office, he noticed most of the department’s official doctors were present.

The resident doctors and interns were nowhere to be seen.

It’s not that they didn’t come, but they weren’t invited or were kicked out of the office.

"Xiao Zhou, from now on, you’ll sit in the seat next to Dr. Xu!"

Director Lou spoke.

This position was the seat of Dr. Cui from the operating room. It’s heard that Dr. Cui had passed the attending physician exam and was just waiting for the hospital to issue the appointment letter. But since the department has limited openings for attending positions, he needs to queue and wait.

"I..." Zhou Can was about to decline, taking someone else’s seat easily breeds resentment.

Dr. Xu signaled him to stop talking further.

"The first day Xiao Zhou returns to our Emergency Department, he creates an outstanding performance in the operating room. He is also a backup for Tuya’s Famous Doctor Hall. Having him sit next to me shows Director Lou’s appreciation for key talents. I fully support it."

Dr. Xu’s motives were well-intentioned.

Zhou Can’s experience was still shallow, just back to Emergency Department, although he held a special status, his explicit position wasn’t yet established.

Now, he’s about to become a formal resident doctor; once the residency training results are out and he gets the certificate, the hospital’s employment contract will immediately be given to him.
