Chapter 106: A Loyal Man, the Story of the Li Lao Couple
"This is my neighbor, Mr. Li Lao. He is a very devoted and loyal man." Mr. Cui quickly introduced the two. "This is Mr. Zhou Can, who works at Tuya Hospital and has high medical ethics."
It was particularly interesting when Mr. Cui introduced the two people to each other.
Each person introduced one advantage, which was in terms of character.
Perhaps when dealing with people at their level, the first thing they value is character.
Bring out the good qualities of both parties' personalities, and let them decide for themselves how to interact next.
"Hello, Mr. Li!"
Zhou Can did not look down on the other person just because he was poorly dressed or had a bad image.
On the contrary, after hearing that the other party was a devoted and loyal man, he felt a little admiration for Mr. Li.
Nowadays, there are many men who are able to be infatuated, but it is very hard to find a man who is both infatuated and loyal.
A woman's upper body is a temptation, and her lower body is a trap.
The upper part of a man's body is cultivation, and the lower part is instinct.
There are too few men who are not unfaithful.
This has nothing to do with character, it's purely driven by instinct.
"I know a little about you. I heard that you risked losing your qualification for the regular training exam and resolutely chose to save Brother Cui first. People who can make choices that are not in their own interests in the face of major interests are true gentlemen."
Mr. Li looked ragged, but his words were straight to the point and contained very profound insights.
This made Zhou Can a little more curious about him.
Who is this Mr. Li?
"I just listened to your comments on the decoration of this house, and I was impressed from the bottom of my heart. Only people who truly understand aesthetics can speak so insightfully. Brother Cui also asked me about this before, and although I also pointed out that the floor and crystal lamps did not match the overall style and made people feel very out of place, my opinion was not as unique as yours."
In his words, Mr. Li highly praised Zhou Can's aesthetic ability.
“Is Dr. Zhou’s review really that good?”
Mr. Cui's question was obviously directed at Mr. Li Lao.
"It's not good, it's very good. His aesthetic level is much better than that of several master teachers I have met. His comments just now not only have a deep understanding of the atmosphere you want to create in your heart, but also incorporate his unique insights into classical art. If Brother Cui makes the changes according to his plan, and even asks him to participate in some detailed designs, your living room will definitely have a real ancient charm in the end."
Mr. Li praised him so much that Zhou Can felt a little embarrassed.
In fact, he was just giving a relatively pertinent suggestion based on his own understanding of beauty and classical art.
"Mr. Li praised it so highly and was so confident. I think the plans proposed by Dr. Zhou are worth a try. Dr. Zhou, can I shamelessly ask you for an unreasonable favor?"
Mr. Cui looked at Zhou Can.
"you say!"
Zhou Can did not agree easily.
He would first listen to whether it could be done and what he would need to pay before he would consider whether to agree.
"I want to redecorate the living room according to the plan you just mentioned. Could you please give me some more advice, and it would be best if you could help me draw a construction drawing."
"That's easy. I can get the drawings ready in two or three days. But I have to be frank. If the decoration doesn't meet the tastes of Brother Cui and Sister-in-law, you can't blame me."
To Zhou Can, this was just a small matter.
It can be done by taking some time out.
"How can I blame you? I can't thank you enough!"
Mr. Cui's wife rushed to express her opinion first.
After Zhou Can's comments, she seemed to be moved. Now with Mr. Li's affirmation, she was more certain that Zhou Can's suggestions for improvement were correct.
"Doctor Zhou, do you agree?"
Mr. Cui was even too lazy to express his opinion again .
For him, the money spent on decoration is nothing.
"No problem! I'll send the blueprint to you once it's finished. It may take three to four days. Mainly because I'm too busy at work, so I can only do it after get off work."
There are so many medical skills that Zhou Can needs to improve.
I am busy at work and I am still busy after work.
"Haha, three or four days is no problem at all, it's settled!"
Mr. Cui was very happy when he saw Zhou Can agreed.
"I'm very curious, why did Brother Cui decorate the living room in an antique style?"
Zhou Can really couldn't understand.
Do all rich people like to make trouble?
"Don't we run a foreign trade company? We often need to negotiate with foreign businessmen. I found that the negotiation results in hotels are not good. If we can create a living room full of classical atmosphere at home, we can directly bring customers home for negotiation in the future. I believe that when foreign businessmen are in an environment full of classical atmosphere, their willingness to cooperate will be stronger. At the same time, it can also show the strength and heritage of our company, and save a lot of money on renting a business hotel conference room."
"With so many benefits, why not do it?"
A businessman's thinking always revolves around business.
Mr. Cui's brilliant idea is indeed feasible.
"Since Brother Cui wants to make it a place for business talks, I will do my best to design it."
Zhou Can agreed immediately.
At this time, a woman's voice came from outside.
"Li Lao, did you borrow the soy sauce?"
"My wife is here!"
Mr. Li ran out immediately.
"I just met a very unique guy, so I chatted with him for a while."
He was explaining to his wife.
Zhou Can looked outside following the sound.
I saw a gentle-looking woman sitting in a wheelchair.
Li Lao pushed the wheelchair and looked at the woman with pity.
It turned out that his wife had a physical illness and could not walk normally, so she needed the help of a wheelchair to travel.
No wonder he ran out immediately when he heard his wife’s voice just now.
Seeing how concerned he is about his wife, they must be very much in love.
Zhou Can has never been in a relationship before, and he is ignorant, curious and full of yearning for love. He has seen the "beautiful" appearance of love in the hospital, where a 23-year-old boy stayed by his girlfriend's side after she was severely burned.
The girl's family is very poor, and so is the boy's.
Then a charity platform and the media launched a fundraising campaign for the girl, and eventually raised a large sum of money. Even if it was not enough to support the subsequent plastic surgery, at least it was enough for the initial treatment.
Zhou Can often saw the boy guarding the girl's bedside.
When interviewed by media reporters, the boy said in a strong voice that he would treat the girl well and marry her when she was discharged from the hospital.
Then, one morning during ward rounds, Zhou Can found the girl curled up in bed crying.
After asking several nurses on duty, we found out that the boy had run away with the money. His cell phone number was no longer in service and we could no longer contact him.
That incident left a deep psychological trauma on Zhou Can.
Also wary of love.
He is very afraid that one day he will meet a female scammer who will cheat him of his money and feelings.
Seeing Mr. Li and his wife so affectionate at this moment, he seemed to believe that love is beautiful again.
"Qiu Jie, our family is inviting Dr. Zhou to dinner today . We haven't started eating yet. Just now, your husband and Dr. Zhou seemed to be getting along very well. If you don't mind, you can have a meal at my house. With two more people, it will be more lively."
Mr. Cui's wife enthusiastically invited Mr. Li and his wife.
"This... isn't good!" Qiu Jie, who was sitting in a wheelchair, glanced inside the room and her eyes fell on Zhou Can.
"There's nothing wrong with it. Don't Lao Cui and I often come to your house to eat and drink? If you don't agree, it will be too formal!" Mr. Cui's wife said this.
The Li Lao couple naturally no longer refused.
"Hello, Madam Li!"
Zhou Can took the initiative to step forward and say hello.
"Anyone who can be invited to dinner by Brother Cui must be extraordinary. My husband rarely praises others. I think Dr. Zhou must be a very special and outstanding young man."
She smiled and took the initiative to shake hands with Zhou Can.
He even praised Zhou Can a lot.
However, when Zhou Can shook hands with her, he found that her hands were a little cold.
This indicates that the blood circulation in her upper limbs is not very good.
Her legs were not amputated.
I don’t know what disease I have?
Since it was their first meeting, Zhou Can naturally wouldn't ask questions that shouldn't be asked.
It was just out of a doctor's instinct that I was somewhat curious about the cause of her illness.
"Mrs. Li, please stop praising me! It's Mr. Li and your love that makes people particularly envious! It makes me feel the beauty of love."
"Hehe! From what Dr. Zhou said, I guess you are not in love yet." After she finished laughing, she sighed. "Sometimes, love looks beautiful, but it can also bring pressure and burden to the other person. For example, if I wasn't sick, Li Lao wouldn't have given up all his career and come home to take care of me."
"Honey, why are you bringing this up again? Giving up all my career to be with you, I feel that this kind of life makes me feel at ease and comfortable. Compared is nothing."
Li Lao held his wife's hand and looked at her with a little reproach and some heartache.
"But... with your talent, if you didn't have to watch over me, I believe you would have been the president of Tianyu Interactive. Every time I see you sitting quietly by the window, I know you must be thinking about your career."
She didn't care about the presence of others and spoke directly from her heart.
In fact, these things should be secrets between them.
Now that she said it in front of Mr. and Mrs. Cui and Zhou Can, it shows that this woman prefers to be frank and sincere in front of her friends.
I won't play any tricks.
"No matter what you say, I have made up my mind. I will stay with you for the rest of my life, until we grow old." He refused to talk about it anymore.
The attitude is also extremely firm.
Zhou Can keenly detected a hint of guilt towards his wife from his tone and eyes.
There must have been some stories between them.
Li Lao had the potential to become the president of Tianyu Interactive, which made Zhou Can finally understand why Mr. and Mrs. Cui attached so much importance to Li Lao's opinions.
Tianyu Interactive seems to be one of the top entertainment companies in Mutu.
Many celebrities and singers are signed to Tianyu Interactive.
In the entertainment industry, this company is definitely an industry benchmark.
"Haha, you two are showing off your affection in front of so many people. Are you really trying to make us jealous? The food will be ready soon. Please take your seats!"
Mr. Cui's wife smiled and skillfully eased the dispute between the two.
"Yes, yes, yes, let's eat first! I was busy talking about the decoration of the living room, so sorry!"
Mr. Cui also greeted guests with his wife.
The restaurant is very spacious and can easily accommodate twenty people dining at the same time.
The floor-length curtains on the wall are opened, and the beautiful garden outside can be fully appreciated. There are lawns, cobblestone paths, and some trees and flowers of unknown species dotted in between.
They even built a rockery, flowing water and a fish pond to create a mountain atmosphere with mountains and flowing water.
Mr. and Mrs. Cui have really high demands for quality of life.
On the other side of the restaurant, there is a wine cabinet and a large cold drink refrigerator .
The compartments of the wine cabinet are filled with various red and white wines.
The wine in some grids may have been drunk and not replenished in time, so they are empty.
"What kind of wine does Dr. Zhou like to drink? You are my distinguished guest and savior, so I must take out the best wine in the wine cellar to entertain you." Many wealthy people will build wine cellars on the basement floor of their villas to specially collect various fine wines.
I believe Mr. Cui’s wine cellar must be rich in collections.
"I'm not particular, and I don't know much about wine! Brother Cui and his wife personally prepared a table of food to entertain me, which is the greatest sincerity. You should keep your good wine to entertain guests who know wine. Don't waste it!"
Zhou Can's words made several people smile.
"Then let's have a bottle of vintage red wine to liven things up."
He stood up and walked to the wine cabinet, taking out a bottle of red wine from the top shelf.
Then use a bottle opener to open it and pour half a glass for each person.
"Come, let's have a drink to celebrate our gathering together!" Mr. Cui, as the host, was the first to raise his glass to toast.
"It is fate that has brought us to the same table. Life is so wonderful. May our friendship be like this wine, becoming more mellow as it ages."
Li Lao is indeed an artist, and what he says is very literary.
“It is my honor to meet four of you among billions of people and drink from the same table with you.”
Zhou Can’s level is also not bad.
"cheers!"
The two women were more concise and said cheers in unison.
The five of them clinked their glasses together, and then started chatting while eating the delicious food on the table.
Mr. Cui, his wife Yin Qin, and Li Lao are all very knowledgeable.
Talking about many things always makes Zhou Can feel refreshed.
Especially chatting with Li Lao, it was as if he had opened a window and could see a different world. The two of them got along very well when chatting, and it was like heroes sympathizing with each other.
Li Lao's wife was more quiet, only saying a few words occasionally or laughing along.
She may have to sit in a wheelchair because her legs are disabled, and she must be under a lot of pressure.
It feels like she is not cheerful and lacks happiness.
Zhou Can seemed to understand why Li Lao wanted to stay with his wife.
When a person is in a very low mood, he or she tends to do stupid things.
While raising the glass, Zhou Can accidentally noticed two marks of injury on her left wrist.
Based on his medical experience, the two scars did not occur at the same time.
The span is at least half a year.
Others didn't understand the origin of the two marks, but Zhou Can deduced some of them.
If I'm not mistaken, those are the scars left by someone committing suicide by cutting their wrists.
