Director Lou took them back to the emergency department. Along the way, Director Lou had a smile on his face all the time.
The atmosphere felt like Chinese New Year.
Only Doctor Lu kept his head down and said nothing.
In the conference room, he deeply experienced what it meant to be humiliated.
At that time, Team Leader Zhong publicly criticized the emergency department for the serious decline in the quality of surgeries, with many surgeries receiving extremely low scores. Dr. Lu did not take it seriously at all.
I really thought it was done by the two newcomers Zhou Can and Jin Mingxi.
After a thorough investigation, it turned out that Zhou Can had performed so many surgeries, and each of his surgeries scored above 9.5 points. Jin Mingxi was a little behind, but still scored above 8.5 points, which was considered excellent.
He never expected that both he and Dr. Lin's surgical scores would be so low.
In particular, he was singled out for criticism by Vice President Ye at the time.
Dr. Lu really wanted to crawl under the table at that time.
"Old Xu, you did a great job today! Director Xie is also a well-known figure . I don't think he will use the emergency department to snatch specialist outpatient surgeries in the short term. But it also reminds us that it's time to make up our minds to improve the quality of medical care."
No matter how ambitious Director Lou was, he had no one under him, so he could only endure and wait.
The recruitment of Zhou Can and Jin Mingxi unexpectedly opened up a new prospect in the surgical business.
Moreover, the emergency department stood firm both times in the face of Director Xie's suppression.
This made Director Lou realize that talent is the core foundation for the development of the department.
It also made him secretly determined to take ruthless action against those who were just idling around.
Any department or enterprise that wants to become strong must have a cruel competition mechanism.
Otherwise, a large number of old hands with mediocre business capabilities will occupy the positions, and the department will never become strong.
Doctor Xu turned his head and looked at Doctor Lu, who looked confused.
"Dr. Lu is talented and has become more diligent recently. I believe that once he realizes his own level, he will learn from his mistakes and work hard to improve his surgical skills and correct his attitude towards surgery."
This is already speaking well of Dr. Lu.
"Yes, yes, yes. I will definitely work harder. Please give me another chance, Director Lou."
Dr. Lu exuded a strong desire to survive.
He had realized that Director Lou might be thinking of eliminating him.
Although Dr. Xu was usually strict and ruthless when scolding people, he had a soft heart and was extremely tolerant towards his doctors and nurses.
Director Lou is different.
As the person at the helm of the emergency department, you have to be ruthless when necessary.
Just like when Tian Tian got into trouble yesterday, no matter how pitiful she pretended to be, Director Lou would never show any mercy to her.
Punish however you deserve.
"Xiao Lu, you are considered an old hand in the emergency department. I will not beat around the bush and will just say it straight. I have given you countless opportunities, but you never cherished them. You said one thing and did another. This should be your last chance, and I sincerely hope that you can become a qualified surgeon."
Director Lou said this in front of Zhou Can and Jin Mingxi.
While warning Dr. Lu, he also intended to warn the two newcomers .
Zhou Can had long witnessed the cruelty of the workplace.
He appeared very calm inside.
He has been working hard and never slacked off, so he is not afraid of competition.
At present, his position in the emergency department is becoming more and more stable. Competition has made him stand out.
…
After get off work, he walked out of the emergency building with Jin Mingxi.
"It's time for lunch, let's go to the cafeteria to get enough food and clothing!"
Jin Mingxi said with a smile.
"You are smiling so happily. I'm afraid you have calculated that Dr. Xu will restore your independent surgery qualification tomorrow!"
Zhou Can joked .
There are only a few people in the emergency department's operating room, and Dr. Lu's surgery score is so low that it will definitely be stopped.
Out of consideration for the interests of the emergency department, Jin Mingxi's independent surgical qualifications will most likely be restored.
"Hey, you guessed it all, awesome! I'll give you a chicken drumstick tonight!"
Jin Mingxi was in a very good mood.
He was almost depressed because his independent surgical qualification was suspended for more than two weeks.
Now that things have taken a turn for the better, how could he not be happy?
"You can have the chicken drumstick, but remember to treat me tomorrow. A recovered patient invited me to his house for dinner tonight, so I won't accompany you."
Zhou Can is a very honest person.
Mr. Cui made an appointment with him a few days in advance to have dinner at Mr. Cui's house tonight.
If I got off work early, I should have rushed there around five o'clock.
I was delayed today by something. I hope I didn't keep Mr. and Mrs. Cui waiting too long.
"You have such a good thing, why can't I have it? Go ahead, bring me some delicious food if you have any!"
Jin Mingxi looked envious.
He felt that Zhou Can was really lucky.
Good things often happen.
But he didn't think about it. It was not easy for Zhou Can to get this dinner. He saved the person at the risk of losing the qualification for the regular training examination.
Good deeds will be rewarded, this is probably what it means.
Taxis are the most abundant thing in front of the hospital. Even during the rush hour, those smart taxi drivers still come to pick up passengers.
Zhou Can stopped a car and got in.
"Master, go to the River Garden!"
"Oh, that's a famous wealthy area, and the security there is very strict! Outside vehicles can't enter without the guidance of the island's owners."
The taxi driver looked at Zhou Can and thought he looked like a rich young man.
But he was also a little unsure.
Because those who can live in Jiangxin Garden are either rich or noble, and they are all wealthy people with a net worth of at least hundreds of millions.
In this city, benefiting from the soaring housing prices, many of the city's original residents have earned two or three houses without doing anything during the demolition boom, plus a large amount of various compensations and resettlement fees.
There are a lot of millionaires worth tens of millions at random.
But there are very few billionaires with a net worth of over 100 million.
"It's okay, just take me to the door."
Zhou Can didn't care.
He had also heard that the security at Jiangxin Garden was very strict.
This is a good opportunity to experience the lifestyle of the super rich.
After the car started, he looked at the time and it was almost six o'clock, so he decided to call his ancestor Mr. Cui.
I heard that rich people have very regular schedules.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, you should finish your dinner around 5 o'clock and not eat again until the next morning.
There is something even more exaggerated, which is called not eating after noon.
Don't eat after noon until the next day. It is said that doing so is good for the cardiovascular system, but there is a lack of real research data, so no one dares to be sure whether it is true.
According to Zhou Can, many wealthy people would choose to have dinner around 4:30 pm when they do not need to discuss business, and then read a book quietly or enjoy life.
The phone rang twice and then was connected.
Generally speaking, people who answer the phone within three rings are very honest and polite.
"Doctor Zhou, are you off work?"
"Brother Cui, I'm so sorry today. Because there was a problem in the operating room, the meeting has not ended until now. I am on my way to your house, and the taxi driver told me that you can't enter Jiangxin Garden without the owner's guidance."
"I'll pick you up at the gate of the community. Do you remember what I look like?"
Mr. Cui said with a smile.
"Of course I remember, otherwise I wouldn't dare to come to your house for a free meal!"
Zhou Can did not feel any psychological pressure when facing this billionaire with a net worth of over 100 million.
On the one hand, he had some family background, and on the other hand, Mr. Cui was a very kind person, without any airs.
If he really had airs, he wouldn't have gone.
"Haha, Dr. Zhou is so humorous! I'm wearing a cooking apron and waiting for you at the gate of the community." Mr. Cui should be cooking at this moment.
It's really special to meet people while wearing an apron.
This shows that Mr. Cui is a bohemian person who can ignore worldly views.
It also shows that he is so casual because he regards Zhou Can as a true friend.
Otherwise, a prominent figure like him would definitely pay attention to his image when going out.
"It will take me at least half an hour to get there. I'd better call you when I get there!" Zhou Can didn't dare to let others stand at the door waiting for him for a long time.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm really glad you can come. The food is ready and my wife is cooking. I just wanted to go over and say hello to the security guard. It will be convenient for you to come over next time."
Mr. Cui was really enthusiastic about him.
36 minutes later, Zhou Can finally arrived at Jiangxin Garden.
At the entrance stands a landscape stone more than two meters high, on which are engraved four large characters: Jiangxin Garden.
In other aspects, it's ordinary.
It is an asphalt road leading to a small island in the middle of the river, with pedestrian trails built on both sides of the road.
Zhou Can paid the fare and got out of the car.
Mr. Cui, wearing a dark apron, walked quickly towards us from the security booth.
At this time, a black Audi stopped in front of the entrance railing.
"Mr. Cui, are you picking up a friend?"
A woman in her forties stuck her head out of the car window and greeted Mr. Cui with a smile.
Judging from her clothes, she is quite classy.
The temperament is also quite good.
"Yes, yes! This is a distinguished guest that I have invited with great difficulty." Mr. Cui showed great respect to Zhou Can in his words.
"Hello!"
The woman greeted Zhou Can with a smile.
"good!"
Zhou Can nodded politely in response.
"I'm leaving first. I have to go back and cook for Mrs. Huang!"
The woman smiled and waved, then drove into the community.
"This is a nanny hired by my next-door neighbor. My neighbor is an elderly person living alone, and her children are very busy at work, so she hired a nanny to take care of her."
Mr. Cui introduced the woman's identity to Zhou Can.
Zhou Can's eyes almost popped out.
Oh my god!
She drives an Audi and dresses better than ordinary white-collar workers, but she is just a nanny.
This really refreshed Zhou Can's cognition.
"Haha, don't be surprised. To be a nanny in this high-end community, the monthly salary is at least 30,000, 13 times a year. But the recruitment requirements are also very high." Mr. Cui explained to him with a smile.
"Wow, thirty thousand a month is higher than the salary of most attending physicians in our hospital. I really learned a lot today."
The attending physicians at Tuya Hospital generally have a regular income of around 20,000 yuan.
Who would have thought that a nanny's salary would be so high.
No wonder they drive Audis and wear high-end clothes.
"Haha, doctors don't seek to make money. And doctors with high incomes are usually deputy senior doctors or above. As far as I know, there are deputy chief physicians in large hospitals in southern coastal cities with annual incomes exceeding 1.2 million."
Mr. Cui laughed heartily.
Don’t be fooled by the keyboard warriors on the Internet, who earn millions or tens of millions a year. However, the overall income level in China, even in the top three first-tier cities, a monthly income of over 50,000 is considered a high income.
The real level of the general public is generally a monthly salary of several thousand yuan.
In some poor areas and remote mountainous areas, the average annual income per person is only a few hundred yuan.
The medical profession is a stable growth industry.
After being awarded the title of associate senior professional, the income will be nearly twice that of a chief physician.
Mr. Cui led Zhou Can into the security booth.
"This is my friend. Please help him enter the access control."
There are two security guards in the booth.
They all have straight backs, steady bodies and sharp eyes.
There is a faint shadow of a soldier on him.
Maybe a veteran or something.
"Mr. Zhou Can, please face the camera to collect your facial and iris data. To be on the safe side, if you agree, you can press your palm on it to leave your fingerprint data."
The security guard guided Zhou Can to enter the facial recognition information.
This type of high-end community generally does not require an access card, but instead relies on face or iris scanning. If verification is unsuccessful, fingerprint recognition can also be used.
The security guards were able to call out his name accurately, which meant that Mr. Cui had communicated with them.
"It's recorded! From now on, when you enter Jiangxin Garden Community, just let the camera take a picture of your face."
The security guard motioned to him.
"Thanks!"
Zhou Can didn't think it was necessary to record it, but Mr. Cui was so kind that he couldn't refuse.
It would be nice to come visit more often when you have time in the future.
He didn't have many friends to begin with. A high-quality friend like Mr. Cui is worth spending some time and energy to maintain.
"Mr. Cui has been waiting for you here for nearly half an hour. We have never seen him pay so much attention to any guest. I guess you and he must be good friends regardless of age difference, right?"
The security guard was particularly curious about Zhou Can's identity.
He couldn't think of many reasons why Mr. Cui paid so much attention to him even though he was so young.
"Haha, Brother Cui and I are indeed compatible."
Zhou Can did not deny this.
Especially knowing that Mr. Cui had been waiting for him here for more than half an hour, he felt that this friend was worth making.
A lot can be seen from the details.
Mr. Cui's sincerity towards him was reflected in every detail.
"I didn't drive here. It's not far anyway. Let's walk together!"
"OK!"
Zhou Can secretly guessed that Mr. Cui made this arrangement because he wanted to chat with him more on the way.
The two walked and talked along the way. The island had beautiful scenery, with waves rolling in the river. There were rows of exquisite villas lined up on the island, and you could see their own private gardens.
Many are well maintained.
Some villas may even have an underground swimming pool.
Being rich is really an ultimate enjoyment.
The two chatted along the way. At first, they both deliberately avoided touching on topics involving privacy.
The more we talked, the more we got along, and slowly we started talking about family, life, and so on.
"My house is just ahead."
Mr. Cui pointed to the house number on the doorpost.
"Just remember it's number 9. If you can't remember, just look at the dragon in front of my garage."
Zhou Can looked up and saw a long golden dragon lying on the entrance pavilion of the villa.
It is domineering and powerful, but also particularly ostentatious.
"This doesn't fit Brother Cui's character! Sister-in-law seems to be a very low-key person, so why would she want to get such a ostentatious golden dragon?" Zhou Can dared to say this only after chatting with him for such a long time and becoming familiar with him.
Otherwise, one would definitely say nice words of praise instead of saying that the dragon appears to be very ostentatious.
"When my son was born, I was still young and had achieved some success in business. I bought this villa that year. I was so happy that I got carried away and asked someone to make this golden dragon. Later, I got older and my personality was no longer so flamboyant. But after my son went abroad, he seldom came back. Whenever I see this dragon, I think of my son. So I have never been willing to change it."
Mr. Cui introduced the origin of this golden dragon.
Zhou Can could understand him very well.
Although he doesn't have a son yet, he has experienced the separation from family.
His parents live in a distant county town, and he is studying in the provincial capital. It is difficult for him to go home once a year. Only he can understand his longing for his parents.
Sometimes, when you miss home and your loved ones, looking at some gifts with special meanings can somewhat ease the longing in your heart.
"Qin, I've brought Dr. Zhou here."
Mr. Cui shouted into the house.
Hearing the sound, an elegant woman in an apron walked out quickly from the house. It was Yiqin, whom she had met once.
"Doctor Zhou, please come in quickly!"
Yiqin is really a woman who can both be a lady in the living room and cook in the kitchen, and she is dignified and generous.
A role model among women.
"No need to take off your shoes, just come in!"
The couple warmly welcomed Zhou Can into the house, allowing Zhou Can to experience the hospitality of being a distinguished guest.
The first thing you enter is a very large living room with a raised floor.
The interior decoration is classical and Chinese themed.
Jiadian is also Chinese mahogany furniture.
Cross-legged chairs, round chairs, six-page screens , long desks, and octagonal tables are all high-end old furniture that can only be seen in costume dramas.
"Doctor Zhou, what do you think of the interior decoration? You can point out that the golden dragon outside is too ostentatious, which shows that you have good taste. I would like to hear your opinion."
Mr. Cui obviously spent a lot of effort on the decoration of the house.
Yiqin makes tea for Zhou Can.
"Doctor Zhou, please have some tea!"
The tea leaves inside exude a refreshing fragrance, which must be precious and high-grade tea leaves.
"OK, thanks!"
Zhou Can took the tea with both hands and placed it on the coffee table.
He looked around the overall decoration style of the living room twice.
Yiqin didn't rush to the kitchen. She wiped her hands on her apron with a smile on her face. She also wanted to hear what kind of evaluation Zhou Can would give.
"Brother Cui, sister-in-law, I don't really understand aesthetics, so please don't mind if I'm wrong."
"No, no, I just want to hear your truth. Don't expect my business friends to tell the truth, they just keep praising me."
Mr. Cui waved his hand and said.
"Your brother Cui always says that the decoration lacks some taste, but he can't find the reason. He is really seeking advice!"
Yichen explained a few words at the right time.
"Then I'll be unbridled. When you first walk into the living room, you don't feel classical elegance, but rather luxury and nobility. Look, the floor tiles are beautiful, but they have too strong a modern feel. And then there's the big crystal chandelier, which complements the floor tiles and gives people a sense of grandeur. But look at the furniture, the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, the retro window frames, and the large pillars with dragon and phoenix carvings, all of which have a strong classical feel."
“The combination of the two is more like a hodgepodge.”
Zhou Can gave some of his own insights.
He has learned many skills since he was a child, including playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is proficient in almost everything.
He can still make a few comments on the general aesthetic.
"Go on."
Mr. Cui's expression is very interesting, showing nervousness but also like a student who is listening attentively.
"From these furnitures with a strong antique style, as well as the decoration style of the walls and pillars, I feel that you seem to want to create a classic, grand and luxurious atmosphere."
As soon as Zhou Can finished speaking, Mr. Cui nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, you said exactly what I was thinking. Doctor Zhou is indeed an expert."
Mr. Cui didn't have much hope in the first place.
It was not until Zhou Can made a series of comments and even expressed what he was thinking that he could not help but think highly of Zhou Can's aesthetic taste.
A little more expectation.
Yichen also looked at Zhou Can with some surprise.
She didn't expect that this young man not only had high medical ethics, but also had a very high level of aesthetic taste.
"If Brother Cui really wants to create such an environment, I'm afraid he'll have to do a major renovation. The floor tiles need to be paved with retro blue bricks, and the magnificent crystal chandelier needs to be replaced. For example, it should be replaced with an eight-scene lamp with a strong classical flavor. And the carvings should also be changed to low-end luxury style carvings. Dragons and phoenixes, if used too much, will appear too deliberate and vulgar. Perhaps carving flowers and plants will add a bit of scholarly flavor and elegance."
In ancient times, everything was inferior except reading.
What reflects noble status is not how much money one has, but fame, talent, and official rank.
"If you want me to sum it up, it's just two sentences! It's more about refinement than beauty, and it's more about novelty and elegance than delicacy and romance."
After Zhou Can’s comments, he gave a summary statement.
Bang bang bang!
There was a sound of high-fives outside the door.
A man in his forties, with a scruffy beard and dressed very casually.
It was just a pair of worn dark-colored sweatpants and a white vest.
The hair is messy and long.
His eyes revealed the confusion that is unique to young people.
Anyone who can enter Mr. Cui’s house at will is definitely not an ordinary person.
"Mr. Li!"
Mr. Cui and his wife were very friendly and enthusiastic towards the man. It was obvious that the two sides knew each other.
"I'm out of soy sauce, so I came to borrow some from you. I didn't expect to hear this young man's wonderful comments. I was so surprised that before I walked in, I thought Brother Cui had invited a master in his sixties or seventies to design and decorate the house."
Mr. Li gave high praise to Zhou Can’s comments just now.
When looking at Zhou Can, besides curiosity, there was more admiration.
The kind of appreciation that comes from meeting a soulmate when playing the piano or a close friend when drinking wine.
More like fellow travelers.
"You are so kind!"
Zhou Can didn't know the other person's identity and didn't dare to say anything, so he just said something polite and modest.
