Chapter 130: How to get along with others!

Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu

The doctors and nurses of the urology had completely accepted Zhang Fan now. Everyone in the department learned about what had happened during the nephrectomy by the next day. The operating room nurse told the other urology department nurses, and then the urology department nurses told the urology department doctors. It didn’t take long for everyone in the department to learn all the details.

The operating room nurse described in great detail how Dr. Heimduller, Director Li, and Zhang Fan had acted during the surgery. Lu Shuyan became even more impressed with Zhang Fan. The latter didn’t even need to ask her to do anything, as Lu Shuyan would take care of all the menial work related to patients on her own volition now.

The renovations on Zhang Fan’s apartment home reached the main stages. Zhang Fan felt that it was useless to simply have Shao Hua’s money sitting around doing nothing in his bank account, so he discussed it with Shao Hua and used the money to pay for the remaining renovations. Shao Hua didn’t have high requirements for the renovations. As long as things were clean and orderly, she didn’t have any particular preference about the style.

Zhang Fan didn’t have the time to watch over the renovation, so this became Shao Hua’s father’s job. Her father went over to watch the renovation process every day as if this was his new work.

Shao Hua and Zhang Fan’s relationship was now set in stone. All that was needed was to wait for Zhang Fan’s and Shao Hua’s parents to meet each other. Both sides’ parents were quite satisfied with their child’s partner. Shao Hua’s mother kept ordering her daughter to bring food to Zhang Fan at work. Although Zhang Fan wasn’t usually a picky eater, Shao Hua’s mother could already tell that he would eat more of the foods he really liked and eat less of foods he didn’t like. Shao Hua’s mother also noticed that Zhang Fan didn’t like to eat out at restaurants that much.

Shao Hua and Jingshu had a lot of fun playing together. They took countless pictures of their fun times. Their relationship also improved even more. Shao Hua really doted on this future sister-in-law of hers. Jingshu was such a nice and considerate girl who was so easy to spoil!

Ever since Shao Hua and Zhang Fan had discussed their future together, Shao Hua started working even harder. Her life in the border province had been too peaceful and relaxed. The housing prices weren’t high here, and she didn’t have much pressure. Shao Hua had relaxed herself a bit ever since starting her job at the bank.

But, Shao Hua was a strong-willed girl who always strove to improve. She vowed not to become a burden on Zhang Fan after learning what he thought of their future. Nowadays, when Shao Hua got off from work, she would also study. Shao Hua wanted to take the licensing examination to become an accountant. No matter what happened in the future, she definitely wanted to have her own job which could support herself. She wasn’t the type to just let Zhang Fan pay for everything. In her opinion, both of them should fight hard together for the sake of the family!

Now that the urology department had accepted Zhang Fan, he started acting quite shamelessly. He addressed all the doctors as “Brother”, and asked them all for any surgeries possible when they had too many for them to handle.

Zhang Fan had figured things out. He felt that he should perform as many surgeries as possible while still being a rotation doctor. Once he was permanently assigned to a department, it would become far more difficult for him to obtain different types of surgeries from other departments.

The urology surgeons really felt helpless about this Zhang Fan! All he wanted was to perform surgeries. He didn’t ask for any of the associated benefits. He would even record every surgery he did under the other doctors instead. He never asked to record the surgeries as his own, which meant that he was basically working for free.

Since Zhang Fan didn’t want anything apart from doing the surgeries, this meant that the others owed him favors! Zhang Fan basically performed every single emergency surgery that the urology department received. Lu Shuyan was incredibly impressed with Zhang Fan. She now felt like she understood why Zhang Fan was so incredibly skilled—it was because he was so hardworking! Even she was becoming quite knowledgeable in the basics of urology due to working under him, although she was from the gynecology major!

Not only was Zhang Fan hardworking at performing surgeries, he went through his medical textbooks so much that they became quite worn. His textbooks were also filled with his personal notes. Just the notes alone would be more than enough to create another full textbook. Zhang Fan used red pen for his personal understanding, and circled important points in black while using a blue pen for points of caution. He really spent a lot of effort on his notes.

“It’s really such a pity that you don’t have a master’s degree with how amazing you are,” Lu Shuyan said as she chatted with him as they wrote medical reports together.

“There’s no rush. Although academics are really important, practical clinical experience is also really important. Additionally, there’s not much income to be had from studying to be a graduate student, which is why I’m not in a hurry now.”

“Hey! You really are a fine example of the classical phrase, men of noble character are keen on wealth.”

“Oh! I’m not quite like that!” Zhang Hua’s face instantly reddened from embarrassment. To tell the truth, if it weren’t for the lesson that he’d learned from the W Province southerner, he probably would have been less ethical about his desire for money.

The W Province southerner reporting Zhu Qianqian for corruption and Superintendent Ouyang’s scolding afterwards had helped Zhang Fan to learn the standards by which he should act. Although there was nothing wrong with loving money, he had to obtain it properly. There was no need for him to get angrily cursed at by others for the sake of a tiny bit more money. It wasn’t like he couldn’t survive without that extra little amount of money!

The doctors in the urology department became really envious of Zhang Fan because his status kept improving within the department. The more veteran nurses would often order around the rotation doctors, but they kept addressing Zhang Fan “Teacher Zhang”!

Zhang Fan almost never had to do any menial work such as changing patients’ medicine or filling out paperwork. Lu Shuyan did everything for him and listened to everything he said even though she had higher academic qualification with a master’s degree.

The head nurse of the urology department treated him extremely good as well. She treated him like he was a veteran doctor of the department. Whenever there was something heavy such as some medical equipment to move, she would never ask for Zhang Fan’s help. Even if nobody but Zhang Fan was around, she still wouldn’t ask for Zhang Fan’s help.

The head prison warden patient had recovered fully, and was about to leave the hospital. He no longer needed to stand and pee for half an hour, waiting for his urine to slowly trickle out! His mood improved greatly now that he no longer had such a problem. Zhang Fan tried to give the old patient his medical advice, such as what to watch out for after leaving the hospital, but the old man refused to listen. “Just tell the medical advice to my wife. If there’s any problem, I’m going to come find you!”

Zhang Fan felt rather helpless—the old patient was quite the domineering type. Later that day, when Zhang Fan got off work, the old man’s eldest son absolutely insisted on dragging Zhang Fan and Lu Shuyan to a dinner for them. He wasn’t allowed to refuse. The medical imaging director was also going, so Zhang Fan was forced into joining this dinner.

The head prison warden’s children all also worked as police or in the courts. The eldest son had previously been a police officer, but he resigned, and now instead focused on renovations and construction for police departments. Although the old man’s children weren’t extremely rich, they were still quite well off, living significantly better than the Chinese national average.

Today’s dinner was organized by the head prison warden’s eldest son. Director Zhao of the medical imaging department would also be there. The dinner was a relatively expensive one, with good smokes, good wine, and expensive dishes.

“Doctor Zhang, Doctor Lu, we really want to thank the two of you. We know that our father’s temper is bad. You must have suffered over the past few days.”

“Treating him is what we should do. Your father is quite direct, saying everything he thinks. I really like people like him. He’s still young in spirit! Besides, since he’s an elder, we youngsters should do our best to understand him. There’s truly no need for you to do all this for us,” Zhang Fan said.

“Haha, look! This is an elite doctor from our hospital. What did I say? I told you that Doctor Zhang and Doctor Lu are truly excellent. Now do you feel reassured?” Director Zhao chuckled.

“Sigh! My father really has made me worry so much over the years. His temper has antagonized so many people. Last year, he was hospitalized in the cardiology department. He cursed at his female doctor and nurse so much that they broke out in tears. This time, I suppose he liked Doctor Zhang, so he didn’t get too angry.”

Sigh! Zhang Fan actually did have his difficulties with the old man’s temper, but just couldn’t say them out loud. The old man’s tone was far too harsh. Due to his former job as head prison warden, he spoke to everyone as if they were prisoners facing interrogation. This time, it was likely that he didn’t dare to get too angry, because he still wanted help with being able to pee.

Zhang Fan wasn’t a drinker, so the dinner didn’t last very long. Since the guest of honor didn’t drink, it wasn’t like the others could drink as much as they wanted. As Zhang Fan was leaving, the old man’s eldest son tried to give Zhang Fan a gift card to a shopping mall. Zhang Fan absolutely refused to take it. Lu Shuyan had wanted to take a gift card which was also offered to her, but she was unable to take it since Zhang Fan was refusing so adamantly.

The restaurant they ate at was rather close to the hospital, so Zhang Fan and Lu Shuyan walked back to the hospital together. “With how adamantly you refuse to take anything, others working with you might have objections. It doesn’t matter to me that much, but have you considered it? If you keep behaving like this, who will be willing to be your assistant or work with you? This is just how our medical society is. Sometimes, it might actually be better for you not to be so upstanding.”

Zhang Fan was rendered speechless for quite a long period of time. He remained silent all the way to the hospital entrance, where he finally said, “Thank you. I will consider what you said. I understand that if I want to succeed in life, I must first succeed in how to get along with others!”
