Chapter 273: Chapter 274: You’re here to poach someone, aren’t you? (Extra for Pianover!)
Tomorrow is October 1st, and everyone is peacefully awaiting the arrival of the National Day holiday, silently planning where to flaunt themselves during the holiday.
After all, we’re too busy on regular days, wanting to rest and go out to play, but having no time at all.
Finally, the National Day holiday is upon us, and even though places are crowded, everyone still wants to go out and stroll around, after all, we really can’t take care of our families due to work on regular days.
Qin Yue sat there, “Miss Shi, have you bought your plane tickets?”
With the holiday approaching, Shi Na’s mood has been especially good these days, her eyes smiling, “I bought them ahead of time, by the way, I brought you a gift when I came.”
Qin Yue giggled, squinting her eyes, “Miss Shi is the best! Once your brother-in-law graduates, you guys can enjoy the good life…”
Shi Na planned to go abroad for the National Day to see her husband who was at a postdoctoral station overseas, and take the opportunity to show their child around and have some fun. She had been waiting for this day for a long time, and it wasn’t easy to finally wait for the holiday. She had even swapped shifts in advance to take off for a good five or six days of rest.
In fact, these teaching doctors are not very old, only in their thirties, not yet forty. Although accustomed to calling them teachers, they’re actually more like older brothers and sisters, and so Qin Yue calls Shi Na’s husband “brother-in-law,” and Chen Cang calls Chen Bingsheng’s wife “sister-in-law,” which is actually the same rationale.
After all, calling someone “teacher’s wife” wouldn’t be quite right, would it?
It’s better to call her “sister-in-law.”
It’s more cordial to call her “sister-in-law.”
Chen Cang looked at Old Chen and flashed a flattering smile, “Boss, take a look, the teacher is buying gifts for her students when she goes abroad; what do you plan to buy for me?”
Chen Bingsheng glanced at Chen Cang, “You kid now earn more than I do, and you never consider showing some filial piety to your elder during the holidays, yet you want me to buy you things, you ungrateful rascal.”
As soon as everyone heard this, they burst into hearty laughter.
Chen Cang really does earn quite a bit now, but the key is that it’s tiring. With so many surgeries every day, there was a period when there were a lot of Tendon Suture Surgery patients, up to more than a dozen a day, and he performed three to four hundred tendon surgeries in a month.
Each surgery, without talking too much, brings in a couple of hundred bucks. That’s already thirty or forty thousand.
But it’s genuinely exhausting!
The average doctor does at most a few dozen surgeries a month, and three to five a day is the most.
Having more than a dozen Tendon Suture Surgeries a year basically leaves no other time. Each day is filled with a life and work of constant patching up, with getting off work after nine o’clock, the workload could not be considered light.
Thinking of this, Chen Bingsheng looked at Chen Cang and sighed, whispering to him, “You shouldn’t push yourself too hard, either. It’s good to be young, but you can’t keep going like this.”
“Doing over a dozen surgeries a day, nobody can withstand that! If the money’s not enough, take your time.”
Chen Cang nodded and smiled.
During this period, with the hand surgery department just getting underway, Chen Cang was fully invested in support of Director An, and though it was tiring, the rewards were substantial.
At that moment, Chen Bingsheng took out several tickets from his pocket and handed them to Chen Cang, “Here are five tickets to Yueyang Hot Spring Villa. You’re stable now, so bring your parents out with you, go and have a rest, and take your brother as well.”
Chen Cang looked at the tickets to Yueyang Hot Spring Villa in his hand, which read VIP three-day pass, and was instantly stunned.
Yueyang Villa is located in the northwest corner of Anyang City, where there are natural hot springs. Throughout history, royal estates were built there, and after the founding of the country, developers transformed the interiors into a hot spring resort, maintaining the ancient architectural style, and it became a five-star hotel integrating leisure, entertainment, dining, and accommodation.
These five three-day passes included accommodation, dining, and leisure entertainment.
Chen Cang gave a bashful smile, “This is so valuable…is it appropriate?”
Chen Bingsheng shook his head and said with a smile, “They were given by a pharmaceutical company, I don’t have time to go. I’m taking the kids hiking, and it’s a waste not to go, so you should take your family along.”
Chen Cang didn’t doubt it, because pharmaceutical companies, in order to maintain good relations with hospital doctors, would often give out travel vouchers and the like during the holidays.
After all, those pharmaceutical companies are wealthier and have agreements with hotels, resorts, and even tourism companies, able to purchase at an internal price, akin to a group purchase.
Chen Cang’s face lit up, “That’s so embarrassing!”
Chen Bingsheng extended his hand, “If you don’t want them, I’ll take them back, huh?”
Chen Cang quickly stuffed the tickets into his pocket and got up to walk away, “Boss, since when do gifts given out have a saying that they can be taken back? That’s taking it too far!”
Seeing this, the whole room burst into laughter again, with Big Chen and Little Chen always being the two jokers of the office.
Wang Qian looked on enviously at An Yanjun, “Teacher~~~~Director~~~~~”
An Yanjun spoke indifferently, “Yeah, and Wang, we have shifts during the National Day holiday. You’ve got to work hard.”
Wang Qian’s face instantly fell.
The tranquility in the emergency room was short-lived, and patients arrived soon enough, plunging into the hectic work.
Recently, there haven’t been many patients, so An Yanjun didn’t need to split surgeries with Chen Cang. Chen Cang was the one operating, with An Yanjun watching, and occasionally An Yanjun would operate with Chen Cang giving guidance.
At this pace, in no more than two days, he would be able to complete 500 Tendon Suture Surgeries himself.
During a surgery, suddenly a figure slipped in. Chen Cang didn’t look up, but An Yanjun happened to see, “Director Tan?”
Tan Zhonglin nodded with a smile, “Mhm, yeah, you guys carry on, I just came to watch.”
A seemingly ordinary remark suddenly made An Yanjun feel threatened!
This guy might be coming to snatch the assistant role!
Indeed, after one surgery was over and before the second surgery began, during the time the three took to wash their hands.
Tan Zhonglin suddenly said, “Director An, feeling tired? How about you take a break? I can assist?”
The moment An Yanjun heard this, his heart tightened instantly—sure enough, they came to snatch the position.
Could he let it happen?
He could not!
An Yanjun casually shook his head, “It’s fine, it’s fine, not tired. Director Tan, you’ve traveled far to be our guest, just watch will do.”
Tan Zhonglin: …
Chen Cang was also curious and glanced at Tan Zhonglin, “Director Tan, isn’t it busy at your place?”
Tan Zhonglin smiled, “Not busy, not busy at all.”
At this moment, Li Baoshan suddenly entered the operating room and saw Tan Zhonglin there—he blinked!
Why was he here?
Could it be…
Li Baoshan looked up at Chen Cang and muttered to himself: disaster!
This weasel is paying New Year’s respects to the chicken—it’s up to no good!
They’ve come to poach right into the operating room.
This can’t be allowed!
Chen Cang is the department’s treasure, how can he simply be snatched away?
He had heard from the head nurse that Tan Zhonglin had been to the department several times these days…
With this in mind, Li Baoshan took a deep breath, determined to have it out with this old weasel!
After walking over, Li Baoshan pretended to be curious and said, “Director Tan!?”
Tan Zhonglin suddenly heard someone speaking, turned around and saw it was Li Baoshan, “Director Li! What a coincidence.”
Li Baoshan snorted with a laugh. A coincidence? You come to our operating room and call it a coincidence?
Li Baoshan nodded, “Yeah! Quite a coincidence, bumping into you here in our operating room.”
Tan Zhonglin’s face reddened, “I came to exchange and learn!”
Li Baoshan was straightforward and upon hearing this, he directly said, “Director Tan is probably thinking about pulling our young Chen over to your Provincial People’s for an exchange!”
A few young nurses, seeing the directors talking about something secretive, instantly pricked up their ears.
When they heard Li Baoshan’s words, the nurses suddenly looked at Tan Zhonglin with hostility!
“He’s trying to poach our Doctor Young Chen!”
“What do you mean ‘our’? Clearly, he’s from my department!”
“Alright, alright, now is not the time for infighting; Young Dr. Chen is about to be poached to the Provincial People’s! This is when we must unite and fight the common foe together!”
“We can’t let those meddlesome people from Provincial People’s have their way!”
“Exactly!”
“The villain! That can’t happen! Drive them off!”
“Right, we can’t let those people from… Provincial People’s have their way…”
A group of young nurses buzzed with chatter, and their gaze towards Tan Zhonglin was filled with resentment, as if mourning a husband stolen away!
…
Upon hearing Li Baoshan’s words, Tan Zhonglin’s face turned red, “Director Li, you’re misunderstanding me. If I were to poach young Chen, I wouldn’t come to the operating room to do it!”
Li Baoshan sighed, “Ah… that’s uncertain! Now that you’ve come to the operating room… there’s nothing you wouldn’t do.”
Seeing how things stood, Tan Zhonglin realized that being unforthcoming was not working—Li Baoshan was guarding Chen Cang closely, fearful of him being snatched away!
With this thought in mind, Tan Zhonglin directly declared, “Director Li, I really came to learn! I came to study young Chen’s Tendon Suture Surgery method!”
At these words, Li Baoshan was half doubtful, “Really?”
Tan Zhonglin, “Would I joke about this?”
Li Baoshan still harbored some suspicions, “Are you sure you’re not here to undermine us?”
Tan Zhonglin couldn’t help but mutter to himself, if only he could take him away!
