My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Chapter 986: Chapter 390: The End of a Cycle, Set Up_2

Zhou Can couldn’t help but look embarrassed.

Dr. Xu glanced at Mu Qin, "You two chat, I’ll just take a taxi back."

After saying that, Dr. Xu was about to leave.

"Teacher, I’ll go back to the hospital with you. Why don’t you wait in the car for me for two minutes."

Zhou Can also knew that if he didn’t say a few nice words to this female journalist, she definitely wouldn’t let it go.

"Alright!"

Dr. Xu didn’t say anything more.

Zhou Can pressed the remote, unlocked the car, and then looked at Mu Qin.

"Dear lady, the favor I owed you last time has been paid off. Can’t you stop pestering me?"

"No way!"

She was quite unapologetic.

"Then what do you actually want?"

When dealing with thugs, Zhou Can would directly knock them out with a punch. But dealing with a pretty female journalist, he really had no good tactics.

No matter what, she did help him out a lot.

That time he made the news, which still benefits him today and will greatly help him in the future as well.

He really couldn’t do something like kick someone away after taking advantage.

Mu Qin also knew her limits and wouldn’t really affect his life or work.

At most, she would just throw a little tantrum and make a few threats.

"I used to think you were a poor doctor, but then I found out you’re one of the owners of Jinyu. Driving a Mercedes, you sure keep a low profile!"

Mu Qin answered in a roundabout way, with her eyes fixed on his Mercedes car.

"Are you short on money?"

Zhou Can asked.

"Don’t worry, I, a journalist, am not interested in your filthy money! I’m just angry that you’re so close to Director Hu, obviously knowing everything but refusing to tell me, and even lying that you don’t know. We can move past this, but you have to give some compensation."

Mu Qin’s eyes spun mischievously.

The conditions she was proposing weren’t small matters.

"Tell me, if it’s something I can do, I’ll try to satisfy it!"

Zhou Can just wanted to end the conversation with her quickly and drive away.

"Simple, you can definitely do it. I interviewed an orphan who’s living with his aged grandparents. But now the kid is sick, and after being checked at the county-level hospital, it was found out it might be aplastic anemia. You’re a doctor and a businessman; I’ve asked many people for this good deed, and none are willing to help. Can you help that child?"

She made a special request to Zhou Can.

This was quite a tricky thing.

"Send me the kid’s details later, and I’ll see how I can help." Zhou Can dared not make a firm promise, leaving himself some leeway.

"Hey, are you just brushing me off like that? I know it takes a lot of money to treat leukemia, and it’s certainly not easy to ask you alone to pay for it. I’ll initiate a donation..."

She obviously misunderstood Zhou Can.

"It’s not about the money but the child’s illness and other conditions. I need to understand everything first." Zhou Can directly interrupted her.

"The child’s condition is exactly as I told you! I can guarantee it’s all real. Boss Zhou, Dr. Zhou, can you be kind and be a savior?"

Mu Qin coaxed him sweetly and softly, making it hard to resist.

"This one time, I promise it’s just this once."

She raised her right hand over her head and promised Zhou Can.

"Alright, alright! I agree." Zhou Can really couldn’t handle her.

If every orphan and underprivileged group required Zhou Can’s help, he certainly wouldn’t agree.

But helping just one child, for a charitable cause, Zhou Can didn’t resist.

Any entrepreneur or wealthy person with a sense of social responsibility would be willing to do their part for charity.

"Pinky swear!"

She extended her white fingers.

Seeing this posture, if he didn’t pinky swear, she probably wouldn’t let Zhou Can leave.

"Pinky swear for a hundred years and never change!"

She recited the rhyme, completing the ’contract’ with Zhou Can.

"Remember to send me the child’s details, preferably including the hospital examination report!"

Zhou Can reminded her.

"Alright, kind-hearted man, take care!"

Mu Qin’s request was satisfied, and she seemed very happy. This time she happily moved aside, watching Zhou Can drive away.

Sitting in the car and calming down, Zhou Can faintly realized he might have been schemed by a little girl.

She definitely knew in advance that Zhou Can would attend Director Hu’s memorial service.

The parking lot was quite out of the way.

Why would a journalist not be at the memorial service side but staked out at the parking lot? How could it be such a coincidence?

The only possibility was she saw Zhou Can enter the memorial hall and then waited at the parking lot, waiting for him to come over. Then she could accuse him of not providing information on Director Hu Kan and take the chance to make additional requests.

Ultimately, she anticipated Zhou Can would not refuse.

Though being plotted against was uncomfortable, in light of her seeking help for that orphan, Zhou Can wasn’t too annoyed.

The matter had already been agreed upon, making it even more impossible to go back on.

A person without credibility cannot stand.

He wouldn’t be like those schemers who agree upfront but then reneges immediately.

"Xiao Zhou, in my impression, you’ve always been someone who understands things clearly. There are some things that I, as a teacher, shouldn’t meddle in too much, but you must remember: men can be frivolous and enjoy life, but must not forget integrity."

Dr. Xu subtly reminded him not to have indiscreet relationships.

"Understood."

Zhou Can was inherently clever, so he naturally understood his teacher was telling him not to fall for every pretty woman he encountered.

Be faithful in matters of the heart.

"No, you haven’t understood my meaning. Men being flirtatious is their nature. Looking at history, from ancient times to now, few men are indifferent to women. If any really exist, most are people without much capability, or are deeply connected with their wives. You’re young, accomplished, with a wealthy background, and not bad-looking either. These favorable conditions attract many young girls."

Dr. Xu’s expression turned serious.

Yet when describing Zhou Can’s appearance, he used "odd-shaped fruits and vegetables" instead of "handsome," leaving Zhou Can amused and exasperated.

"If you delve deeply into history, you’ll find that those capable and prosperous people often prefer to marry youthful and beautiful wives. It’s a man’s instinct. Take modern Kang Youwei for instance; even in his sixties, he married an eighteen-year-old girl, old enough to be her grandfather. Later, knowing his end was near, Kang Youwei wrote two thousand pieces of calligraphy for her, ensuring she would live a prosperous life. He instructed her that after his death, when needing money, she just had to sell a calligraphy piece, which would surely fetch enough silver coins to support her.

"That’s a man’s responsibility. Whoever you choose as your girlfriend or wife is your freedom, but you can’t just use someone and then discard them. Such irresponsible actions cross the line of conscience."

Dr. Xu ended his words there without elaborating.

He trusted that Zhou Can, being so smart, would surely know what to do.

"Rest assured, teacher, I won’t be someone without conscience."

Zhou Can didn’t explain that he and the female journalist were merely good friends. Better to maintain a proper attitude than to confuse things further.

"Yes, as long as you remember this, you’ll never capsize."

Dr. Xu nodded in satisfaction.

Zhou Can’s cheeks twitched; clearly, the teacher was quite worldly!

It seems, in his youth, Dr. Xu probably had his share of romantic exploits too.

The more capable, the stronger their attraction to the opposite sex. Zhou Can unknowingly already had many admiring young and beautiful girls around him.

Those young female doctors and nurses at the hospital needn’t be mentioned.

Just the ones closest to him — Nurse Qiao Yu, journalist Mu Qin, even class president Yang Chan — all seemed somewhat interested in him.

As for the actress Su Qianqian, she was more of a surprise.

In the future, as his reputation grew, it would likely attract even more pretty, excellent girls.

But he was confident in maintaining a dedication and purity towards love.
