Chapter 295: Dr. Zhou's Benevolence, Xingxiang Women and Children's Desire to Poach Someone_3
So, Director Tang's status was much higher than one might imagine.
This time, by receiving the specialists from Tuya Hospital and ensuring the success of the expert consultation event, helping Xinxiang Women and Children's Hospital through this crisis, he would be a major contributor.
With this achievement, his promotion to the hospital administration was almost a sure thing.
His future was extremely bright.
No wonder Director Tang was so dedicated in coordinating and communicating the reception work and the specialist consultations. Only with benefits would there be motivation and commitment.
"I just find being on duty at night to be boring, so I picked up a book to casually flip through."
Zhou Can said modestly.
Logically, the conversation should have ended here with a friendly goodbye.
But Director Tang showed no sign of leaving; instead, he brought over a stool and signaled Zhou Can to sit and talk.
"Dr. Zhou, your skills are already so formidable, and you're still just a resident trainee at Tuya Hospital?"
"Where am I formidable? Look, this is my work ID. I'm a legit resident trainee. I received my Medical Practitioner Certificate a few months ago, so now I guess I am a Medical Officer!"
Those with a certificate are called Medical Officers, those without are medical students or also called Medical Officers.
The difference is quite significant.
"I see that despite your youth, whether it's pathological diagnosis, surgical ability, or emergency response, you are extremely impressive. What do you think about a change of environment? Xinxiang Women and Children's Hospital is currently looking for talented individuals, and we really need young and promising doctors like you."
Director Tang came for this reason.
No wonder he was chitchatting here with him past nine o'clock at night without leaving work!
Tu Ya Hospital had sent a team of experts to support and restore the reputation of Xinxiang Women and Children's Hospital. Yet, this hospital was secretly trying to poach from Tu Ya and had set their sights on Zhou Can.
Wasn't this a real-life version of the story of The Farmer and the Viper?
The adult world indeed places interests above all else.
Justice and feelings, those are all empty talk.
"I'm doing pretty well at Tu Ya Hospital, and I haven't thought about leaving."
Zhou Can was not that kind of heartless and ungrateful person.
Tu Ya Hospital's training for him was very good, and many attending physicians had generously shared their knowledge with him. They were all looking forward to him maturing into someone who could lead Tu Ya Hospital to even greater glory.
If he turned around and ran off to Xinxiang Women and Children's Hospital, those attending physicians who had taught him would likely be extremely disappointed.
Even Dr. Xu would feel heartbroken.
How could Zhou Can possibly do such a thing?
For a person, the most important thing isn't necessarily wealth. The meaning of life is much more about having friendships, love, family. If a bit more advanced, it's about creating value for society.
"I know that you're highly valued at Tu Ya Hospital and your position is quite good. If you switch to Xinxiang Women and Children's Hospital, we can promise you a higher position. In terms of annual income, it would be many times that of Tu Ya Hospital. Right now, as a resident trainee, Tu Ya Hospital gives you at most two to three thousand a month. But we can guarantee that if you come over, you'll get thirty thousand a month. If you do well, there will be performance bonuses and rewards as well."
Director Tang was just the head of Publicity and United Front Work, he definitely didn't have the power to recruit people or offer high salaries.
So who was he representing?
Zhou Can thought about it for a moment and understood partially.
Director Tang was just the intermediary, the ones behind the plot to poach Zhou Can were surely Dean Tian and the management of Xinxiang Women and Children's Hospital.
However, poaching people was not a particularly glorious matter, and Dean Tian would definitely not show up personally.
She would only converse personally with Zhou Can if a deal was reached.
A monthly base salary of thirty thousand was indeed very tempting.
Even in such a first-tier city, that would be considered a high salary.
Adding on performance bonuses and rewards, the annual income wouldn't be less than five hundred thousand.
Unfortunately, Zhou Can wasn't short on money.
He had never practiced medicine for the money.
"Heh, offering such a high salary to poach a resident trainee like me, your hospital really holds me in high esteem. I thank your hospital for its generous offer, but I haven't thought of leaving Tu Ya Hospital."
Zhou Can didn't even blink as he declined directly.
Director Tang, watching this response, misinterpreted it as something else. He thought Zhou Can felt the salary was too low.
It made sense, after all, with Zhou Can's exceptional performance, in just a few years he would become a very famous doctor at Tu Ya Hospital, with a great future in terms of position, academics, status, and income.
To think that an offer of thirty thousand a month would be enough to sway such a superstar was indeed a bit low.
"What are we all working hard for? Isn't it to earn more money, to provide a better life for our families and ourselves? Dr. Zhou, if you think thirty thousand a month is too little, we can increase it further. As long as you work hard, we guarantee your monthly income won't be less than fifty thousand. How about that?"
Director Tang raised the offer.
But this fifty thousand had a clear difference from the previous thirty thousand base salary.
To get fifty thousand a month, there was a prerequisite: work hard.
"If I say I practice medicine not for money, would you believe me?" Zhou Can raised an eyebrow.
"This... I find it somewhat unbelievable. Who isn't in it for the money? I wonder what Dr. Zhou's ideal figure is in your mind?" Director Tang had limited authority and could not persuade Zhou Can with the offer given by his superiors, so he prepared to probe Zhou Can's expected salary.
After reporting back to his superiors, they would negotiate further.
