Chapter 256: Becoming a Living Bodhisattva in the Department of Gastroenterology, Brotherly Love
Zhou Can has strong surgical skills and is very popular in the Department of Gastroenterology.
After the senior doctors in the group recognized his surgical skills, they would now take the initiative to bring him along for help whenever they perform an operation.
In most cases, Zhou Can would directly perform the surgery for them.
The operation was done quickly and efficiently.
The satisfaction of patients and their families is also very high, so senior doctors are naturally more willing to ask him to help with surgery.
…
His days in the Department of Gastroenterology were fulfilling and intense. In addition to being busy with endless patients every day, his time after get off work was also filled with reading, practicing basic knife skills, and various medical techniques.
The experience points of various medical skills are increasing steadily.
The two medical skills of pharmacological differentiation and pathological diagnosis grew the fastest. If he was lucky, he could even get 100 points of pharmacological differentiation experience points four times a day.
This medical skill is rapidly advancing towards the intermediate level of attending physicians.
At this rate, perhaps within one or two months, both pharmacological differentiation and pathological diagnosis can be elevated to the intermediate level of treatment.
As his reputation in gastroenterology grew, more and more doctors came to him for help.
At the beginning, only interns, residents, and a few residents came to him for help in dealing with emergencies of their patients, or asked him to diagnose the causes of difficult-to-diagnose diseases.
Later, these people tasted the sweetness and spread the word everywhere.
It’s amazing that no matter whether the resident doctors in the department are familiar with Zhou Can or not, whenever they encounter problems, they will not go to their superiors, but will think of Zhou Can for help first.
Because Zhou Can is not arrogant and there are very few things that he cannot solve.
It seems to be more effective than seeing a senior doctor.
There is no need to worry about being scolded. People who go to him only get benefits and there is no pressure, so they will naturally go to him again next time.
Zhou Can also enjoys this.
As long as he is busy, he will almost always respond to requests.
Unexpectedly, it was his approachable attitude, coupled with his strong problem-solving ability, that made the attending physicians in the department gradually begin to shamelessly ask him for help.
Especially the three attending doctors, Dr. Chi, Dr. Xia Ping, and Dr. Huang Xinggui, who had known for a long time that Zhou Can had a very high level of medical skills and were familiar with Zhou Can, "shamelessly" took the lead in seeking Zhou Can's help.
As a result, Zhou Can helped every one of them accurately.
When the other attending physicians saw this, they were surprised that this young intern was indeed a man of real talent and knowledge, and his level was extremely high.
Then there is no need to be polite. It would be better to wait to be scolded by the senior doctor if something goes wrong.
It would be better to shamelessly ask Zhou Can for help and see if the problem can be solved.
In this way, Zhou Can became a veritable "living Bodhisattva" in the Department of Gastroenterology, responding to every request.
When faced with some dangerous cases that were difficult to diagnose, other doctors would avoid them, but he was stubborn and kept going forward.
All his actions were noticed by the deputy director and chief physician of the department.
Gradually, whenever the department discussed difficult cases, they would always specially invite him, the intern, to join the discussion.
For no other reason than this guy can really solve problems.
…
That day, after Zhou Can got off work, Li Lao called him.
If I remember correctly, the two of them had only spoken on the phone a few times in the past two months. The number of times they sent messages to each other to chat had also dropped to a record low.
Using being busy as an excuse is definitely not an acceptable excuse.
Ever since Su Qianqian reminded Zhou Can that time, it didn't take long for Li Lao's attitude towards Zhou Can to change subtly.
Zhou Can knew it very well, but never pointed it out.
He had already prepared for the worst, to go their separate ways and end their collaboration which was more harmonious than that of brothers.
As for money, it’s enough as long as it’s enough.
Zhou Can is a very contented person. He opened an entertainment company with Li Lao. Not only did he help his girlfriend Su Qianqian reach the pinnacle of her career and become extremely famous, but he also earned tens of millions in dividends.
The remaining 50% of the shares can be sold for at least tens of millions, right?
By this calculation, he alone can make a profit of more than 100 million yuan by investing in this entertainment company.
From being a quasi-multi-millionaire to becoming a bona fide billionaire, this is a goal that countless people want to achieve in their lifetime but can never achieve.
"Brother Lao, what do you want from me?"
Zhou Can's attitude towards Li Lao remains the same.
"I've been busy with the expansion and development of the company recently, and I've encountered several bottlenecks and two troubles. I haven't had a drink with you for a long time. If you don't have to work overtime tonight, how about coming to my house for a drink?"
Li Lao was the first to explain to Zhou Can the reason for the lack of contact during this period.
Zhou Can actually had some doubts about his explanation.
"Okay! I haven't visited my sister-in-law for a while. Is she doing well recently?"
Zhou Can readily agreed.
What is coming will eventually come, and maybe what we are having tonight is a farewell dinner.
I hope that even if the deal fails, the friendship can be preserved.
"Your sister-in-law's health is still the same. This disease will be difficult to cure unless a new special medicine is developed. But compared with the past, her current condition is very good. By the way, can you come to dinner alone tonight? There are some things I want to talk to you about. It's best not to have Qianqian present. After all, she is also an insider."
Whenever Li Lao invited Zhou Can to dinner in the past, he would always take the initiative to ask Zhou Can to bring his girlfriend.
Su Qianqian was not allowed to attend today, which meant that it was just as Zhou Can thought, and the dinner was indeed a farewell dinner.
"Okay! I see she's so busy at work, I really don't want to disturb her. What time can you go home in the evening?"
Zhou Can asked.
When Li Lao was not at home, only his sister-in-law was at home, and she had difficulty moving around, so it was not convenient for Zhou Can to visit her alone late at night.
"I'm already at home, I've bought the food and I'm preparing to cook. It all depends on when you, a busy man, can come over so I can calculate the cooking time of the dishes in advance. Many fresh ingredients are best cooked and eaten right after they're cooked."
Li Lao’s cooking skills are actually quite good.
He is a versatile man with strong career capabilities and his cooking skills are comparable to the hotel's top chefs.
In addition, Li Lao plays the guzheng and the flute very well.
His chess playing level is on par with Zhou Can's.
You know, Zhou Can has participated in international Go and chess competitions.
This shows how evil Li Lao is.
Zhou Can is also multi-talented, having dabbled in many fields including painting, piano, martial arts...
Perhaps this is the reason why the two of them hit it off right away and became good friends closer than brothers!
"I just got off work and will leave right away. It will take about 40 minutes to reach Jiangxin Island."
Even though Zhou Can is very rich, he still hasn't bought a car.
Mainly because there is no such demand.
It only takes a few minutes to drive from the hospital to his apartment every day. He would waste a lot of time just parking his car when he drives to and from work.
I took a taxi and headed straight to the Jiangxin Island Villa.
Nearly an hour later, he successfully arrived at Li Lao's house.
Because he has been to the island so many times, the security guards already know him. It is quite convenient to enter and exit.
Li Lao knew he was coming, so the door of the villa was open.
Zhou Can walked straight in.
Because he came here today to discuss something with Li Lao, he did not go over to say hello to Mr. and Mrs. Cui.
As soon as Zhou Can entered the door of Li Lao's house, he smelled the aroma of delicious food.
Zhou Can walked into the villa's entrance carrying some gifts he had bought.
"Hello, sister-in-law!"
As soon as Zhou Can saw Qiu Jie sitting in the living room, he hurriedly greeted her with a smile.
She looks well.
"Dr. Zhou is here! I haven't seen you for a while. You doctors have such hard work and are so busy!"
Qiu Jie stood up with the help of a chair to greet Zhou Can.
Seeing her preparing to come over with a cane, Zhou Can hurried forward.
"Sister-in-law, please take a seat. I often go to your house and Brother Cui's house for free meals. I'm not a guest, so please don't be too polite. Otherwise, I won't dare to come next time."
Zhou Can said with a smile.
"This is some nutritional supplement I bought for my sister-in-law. It is purely for strengthening the Qi and nourishing the essence. You can eat it without worry."
It is a big taboo to go to someone's home empty-handed.
Anyone who knows a little bit about socializing knows that you should bring some gifts when you visit someone’s home.
"Thank you for your trouble! You always buy me gifts every time you come here. That's so kind of you!"
Qiu Jie thanked him gratefully.
"But you know what, the nutritional supplements you doctors choose are different. After I took them, I didn't feel anything at first. But after a while, I found that my spirits had obviously improved, my body was lighter, and my breathing was smoother."
She smiled and praised.
He praised Zhou Can for his professionalism in the medical field and also praised the gifts he bought for being very useful.
"Brother Zhou, please sit down for a while. The food will be ready soon. There is no one else here, just the three of us. I have made six simple dishes. Please don't think it's shabby."
Li Lao poked his head out of the kitchen to greet him.
Looking at him wearing an apron and rolling up his sleeves, he really looks like that.
"Six dishes aren't enough? I only eat two dishes for every meal in the hospital cafeteria. The problem is that the big pot dishes in the cafeteria taste terrible. The dishes cooked by Lao Ge are even more delicious than those cooked by the hotel chef."
Zhou Can and Li Lao looked at each other, and Li Lao's eyes remained the same as before.
This made Zhou Can feel a little confused.
What we should talk about today should be kicking Zhou Can out of Jinyu Interactive, and then cooperating with capital tycoon Hu Haikun to allow Jinyu Interactive to quickly reach a new level and become an entertainment giant company that can compete with Tianyu Interactive.
Logically speaking, what Li Lao did was somewhat unkind.
I am sorry for Zhou Can’s trust.
Then he should feel guilty. Why didn't his eyes change at all?
"Let me help you! Otherwise, I will be a freeloader!"
Zhou Can made fun of himself and made the two of them laugh, then went over to help.
Soon, the delicious food was served, and the three of them sat together to eat. Li Lao toasted Zhou Can as usual and chatted with him.
Seeing that the meal was almost over, Li Lao just refused to talk about business.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Qiu Jie stood up and said, "My favorite Korean drama is about to start. You two continue chatting while I go watch TV." She is a very smart woman.
He must know that Li Lao has something to discuss with Zhou Can, and staying here would only cause inconvenience.
So I found a reasonable excuse to leave and leave the space for the two of them.
After Qiu Jie left, Li Lao raised his glass and clinked it with Zhou Can.
"Brother Zhou, since we started Jinyu Interactive, you have never asked about the company's affairs. You have always taken whatever dividends I gave you, and you have never doubted me. You have also unconditionally supported me in the development and management of the company. Every time I proposed additional investment, you have always trusted and supported me unconditionally. I am lucky to have a close friend like you in this life."
Li Lao, still a little drunk, talked about their pleasant cooperation.
"Before we became partners, I said that I don't understand the management of an entertainment company, and I don't like doing those things. I just like to study medicine and save lives. As for trust, that's what should be done. If I don't trust you, why would I cooperate with you?"
Zhou Can said lightly.
"There is one thing I didn't intend to tell you, but it concerns the life and death of the company, so I must tell you about it. In case the company suddenly disappears one day, you will be mentally prepared."
There was a trace of deep sadness between Li Lao's brows.
Are you planning to play the sympathy card?
Zhou Can thought to himself.
He asked in a slightly surprised tone, "Hasn't the company's business been booming and the situation is good? How come it has suddenly become so serious that it may go bankrupt at any time?"
Li Lao took a sip of wine and sighed, "There are too many people with red eye disease these days. Seeing that our company is developing well, they want to get a piece of the pie. I can handle ordinary people. But the person I offended this time was Hu Haikun, a capital tycoon in this province. You may not know his background. He made his fortune by monopolizing the agricultural wholesale market. In the early days, he was very close to those gangsters."
"After making his first fortune, he targeted the real estate market and used various means to make countless illegal money in the real estate industry. He then began to clean up his money, but his connections between the black and white worlds were still extremely strong."
When talking about Hu Haikun, Li Lao's tone was very serious.
"Isn't real estate a legal business? How come the money you make is illegal?"
Zhou Can asked in confusion.
He understood what black gold meant, which was that the money earned was not clean.
"The houses built by other regular real estate companies are of qualified quality, but the houses built by him are all shoddy. After the owners found the problems, they used various threats and intimidation to force the owners to sign for the houses. What's worse, they set up shell companies and sold the same house to multiple buyers. Many owners emptied the six wallets of their parents, grandparents and the couple to buy the houses. In the end, they could not get the houses and were burdened with huge debts."
"He made countless illicit profits through these illegal means. Later, he realized that if he did too much illegal work, he would be easily imprisoned if he was caught, so he started to think of various ways to clean up his money. In recent years, he specifically targeted companies like ours with strong development potential and made formal investments through equity dividends and other means."
Li Lao told Zhou Can about Hu Haikun's various evil and dark history, which made Zhou Can so angry that his teeth itched.
This kind of scumbag, don't ask him to treat you when you are sick one day, otherwise, Zhou Can will use all his life's knowledge to make Hu Haikun spend the rest of his life lying in bed. He will uphold justice in his own way.
"Last month, Hu Haikun set his sights on our company and came to me with extremely tempting conditions. However, I rejected them. He was unwilling to give up and came to me many times afterwards, but was rejected each time. At the beginning, I also knew that this person was extremely powerful and could not be offended. So I tried my best to mediate. Until half a month ago, he lost his patience and gave me an ultimatum. I had no way out and rejected him again. The two sides tore their faces apart, and he made a harsh statement that if he couldn't get it, no one else could get it, so he would destroy it."
Although Li Lao's tone was calm when talking about these things, Zhou Can could imagine how much pressure Li Lao was under when facing the threat from Hu Haikun.
"Why don't you agree to cooperate with him? Haven't you always wanted to develop Jinyu Interactive into a top entertainment company like Tianyu Company?"
Zhou Can looked into Li Lao's eyes and asked.
"Humph! The conditions proposed by Hu Haikun are indeed tempting. Cooperating with him will surely help Golden Entertainment Interactive soar to the sky, but the price is to kick you out. Do you think I can agree to it?"
Li Lao sneered.
Scholars are naturally rugged. They value friendship the most and hate officialdom the most.
At this moment, Li Lao actually gave people a feeling of unyielding pride, scholarly spirit, and a courage and heroism that was indestructible to everything.
This reminded Zhou Can of a poem by Qu Yuan: My heart is good, so even if I die nine times, I will not regret it.
For the sake of this brotherhood, even if Jinyu Interactive was suppressed to bankruptcy by Hu Haikun, he would never regret it and would never waver in his original intention.
"It's actually not unacceptable for me to be out. I've made enough money in the past year. I can't really help you in any way, so my exit can help you realize your dream quickly, so why not?"
After Zhou Can knew Li Lao's attitude, he was more willing to give up the 50% stake.
Friendship is about mutual giving.
True friendship is even stronger than love.
"Zhou Can, you underestimate me!"
Li Lao seemed very angry.
I almost slammed the table.
"Although we have known each other for less than two years, I have always regarded you as a brother and the best friend of my life. Let alone a few fortunes, even if you give me all the money in the world, it can't compare to one ten-thousandth of our friendship. Friendship is stronger than gold, and it is one of the most precious things in the world."
Zhou Can's words obviously made Li Lao very angry. He thought Zhou Can underestimated him.
"Don't get excited, don't get excited. I just think that if I can help you realize your dream sooner, it doesn't matter if I quit. Since you don't want to, I won't mention it again. And I'm very happy to see that you value our friendship so much. In this life, I can make a friend like you, which means that my life is not in vain."
Zhou Can was really happy from the bottom of his heart.
I believe no one wants to be betrayed by a friend.
If you want to see a person's character, just look at his attitude towards money.
Li Lao was willing to make an enemy of capital giants like Hu Haikun, rather than do anything to let Zhou Can down, which really touched Zhou Can.
"I don't have many friends, and there are only two or three of them who I can truly confide in. I can have a clear conscience and be sincere to each of you." Li Lao looked into Zhou Can's eyes with a sincere tone.
Under the stimulation of alcohol, people can become more emotional and more likely to say things that they are usually reluctant to say.
In fact, in life, what matters is not how many important people you know, but having one or two close friends.
"Thank you! Brother Lao, I toast you with this glass of wine!"
Zhou Can knew that he had misunderstood Li Lao and felt guilty, so he filled his glass with wine and toasted him.
