Chapter 266: Money can do so much!

Oftentimes, there were many people out there who wanted to accomplish so many things in life. However, the business of daily life and hardship of work would slowly grind away at their passionate hearts. Such people would gradually become those who would only go with the flow. If Superintendent Ouyang had to describe such people, she would say that they were really spoiled!

People from Superintendent Ouyang and general surgery Director Zhao’s generation were able to achieve success despite all their difficulties because of the era they lived through, giving them an adamant heart that had been tempered by the times.

Not all people from their generation were successful. In fact, many of them had been ground down into blood by the difficulties of life. Still, in comparison, there really was a high success rate for those from their generation. Their generation was one that would create heroes. It really wouldn’t be easy to be this generation’s superiors or subordinates!

The surgery was now over. Normally, for a surgery of this level, the patient wouldn’t need to go to the ICU department for treatment. However, the Hong Kong businessman personally requested to be put into the ICU department. Regulations weren’t as strict at smaller hospitals, so of course the hospital would be happy if the patient wanted to spend more money for better care! Thus, the patient was sent to the ICU department. Although money couldn’t do everything, it really could do a lot. All the other patients in the ICU department were hoping to get out as soon as possible and return to a normal patient room so that they could have fewer expenses. Yet, to the Hong Kong businessman, spending 10,000 yuan per day in medical fees for the ICU department was nothing at all!

Zhang Fan was in no hurry to go to his next rotation assignment, the rheumatology department. Since his work on the surgery today counted as overtime, he would be able to take one more day off for vacation. Right now, he was busy with renovating his new apartment. It wasn’t like he could let Shao Hua’s parents busily deal with all the work.

Three days after the surgery, Zhang Fan was busy choosing some ceramic tiles when he was summoned back to the hospital. The Hong Kong businessman’s family had arrived at Chasu City Hospital. When the border province businessman learned of Zhang Fan’s skill level, he was so delighted that he burst into tears! The local businessman led the Hong Kong businessman’s wife to Superintendent Ouyang’s office.

Normally, with Superintendent Ouyang’s personality, she wouldn’t meet with any businessman’s wife or even father. Someone like her would only care about politics! However, the Hong Kong businessman and his wife were quite skilled at getting into her good graces.

The Hong Kong businessman and his wife directly donated a large sum of money to Chasu City Hospital! They donated 50,000,000 yuan! Of course Superintendent Ouyang would accept this money! Her smile was as sweet as a baby’s. Although donating such a large sum of money wouldn’t be something so simple, and it would need to go through the government, since the Hong Kong businessman and his wife were willing to donate so much money, of course Superintendent Ouyang would treat them as VIP guests!

“You would like to meet the primary surgeon? Not a problem! I’ll call him over right now!” Superintendent Ouyang immediately had the hospital administration director summon Zhang Fan over.

“This is Doctor Zhang from our hospital. He’s the most skilled doctor from his generation! His surgeries are known for high precision and low damage!” Superintendent Ouyang introduced Zhang Fan to the Hong Kong businessman’s wife, who was known as President Lin.

“Thank you, Doctor Zhang!” President Lin had a team of assistants with her. They were all wearing suits, ties, and really shiny leather shoes. All of them bowed to Zhang Fan in unison!

“No need for this, there really is no need. It’s what we should have done.” Zhang Fan really hadn’t expected such a formal thanks like this right after being summoned here.

“No need to be so polite with us. We’re a public hospital here to serve the people, so of course we would serve you. It’s what we should be doing.” Superintendent Ouyang hurriedly tried to convince President Lin to sit down.

“I understand that Communist Party regulations can be quite strict. Just money alone won’t be able to express how grateful I am. Here is an invitation to study at England’s royal hospital for Doctor Zhang Fan. This slot is only available for him alone. This invitation will be effective for three years! Please accept this!” President Lin handed a document to Zhang Fan, holding it with both her hands.

Zhang Fan was really surprised by this! He glanced at Superintendent Ouyang, not knowing if he should take it or not! Although China’s medical system was developing quite rapidly, and almost catching up to the extent of medical systems in developed countries, China’s best medical schools and hospitals still weren’t receiving recognition in Europe and America.

There would be far too many restrictions and limitations on someone who wanted to develop themselves in another country in the medical field, especially clinical medicine. These types of invitations were a type of small benefit that rich and powerful families in China had gained after making donations to major hospitals in the developed countries!

“Since President Lin is being so generous, why are you just standing there? Hurry and take it!” Superintendent Ouyang seemed as if she was worried that President Lin would change her mind, so she hurriedly took the invitation from President Lin’s hands and gave it over to Zhang Fan. Superintendent Ouyang was delighted, truly delighted! Even her eyes sparkled with delight.Read latest chapters at

After the patient’s family and retinue left, Superintendent Ouyang relaxed herself on a large sofa in her office as she slowly sipped on some tea. “When do you intend to go to England?” she asked Zhang Fan.

“This invitation is effective for three years. I’m not in any hurry!”

“How come?”

“I don’t feel that going right now will be that useful to me. I still haven’t finished learning everything from the doctors here, so I won’t improve that much if I go over to England. I want to wait until my foundations are more solid before I go to England. That way, I’ll be able to improve even more!”

“Alright. It’s good that you think this way. Learning medicine is like trying to row upstream. Anyone who’s not making progress will only backtrack. The prerequisite for improvement is to have an incredible foundation. You can’t just focus on tiny benefits before you. Choose a higher location to stand so that you can gaze farther into the distance. I also want to see just how much you can achieve.” Superintendent Ouyang lectured Zhang Fan a little. She was still really dissatisfied with how Zhang Fan was now running his own private hospital. She didn’t feel that private hospitals even deserved to be called hospitals! That was what she truly believed!

“Yes, thank you, Superintendent. I’ll definitely pay attention.”

At Chasu City Hospital, all of the department directors now treated Zhang Fan really respectfully, apart from Director Gao Shijun, who took the attitude of being Zhang Fan’s teacher. Although Director Gao hadn’t actually taught Zhang Fan that much, Zhang Fan had learned some basics of medical treatment from him, so Zhang Fan also recognized Director Gao as his teacher.

Meanwhile, Superintendent Ouyang was another type entirely. She could focus on work when it was necessary, and protect her own when it was necessary, but when it came time to scold you, she could scold you as if you were her own grandson. After the scolding, you would even be grateful to her. This was all evidence that Superintendent Ouyang was a highly skilled leader.

“Alright then. I’ve heard that you’re already beginning to renovate the apartment that you received from the hospital?” After discussing official business, it was now time for gossip!

“Yeah. I’m planning on getting married after the renovations are complete!” Zhang Fan told her rather awkwardly.

“That’s good. Getting married early will help to steady the heart. Only by having responsibility will you be a man. Otherwise, no matter how old you are, you’ll still only be a boy. When are you going to choose a department to be permanently assigned to?”

“There’s still a few departments that I haven’t been rotated to yet. I’d like to choose after I finish rotating through them all.”

“Which department do you want to go to? General surgery, orthopedic surgery, or maybe cardiothoracic surgery?”

“Superintendent, when will the new emergency treatment center be open?” Since Superintendent Ouyang was in a good mood today, Zhang Fan took advantage of this to ask something that only the higher-ups of the hospital would know.

“What, you have some idea about that? It doesn’t matter even if you have plans for it. You’re only a resident doctor. It’s not like I can give you the director position for the new emergency treatment center!” Superintendent Ouyang always judged others by her own way of thinking. She was under the impression that Zhang Fan was interested in the director position for the new emergency treatment center!

“No! I’m really not!” Zhang Fan was slightly anxious. He was still young and easily embarrassed. He didn’t want the superintendent to mistake him for someone addicted to gaining higher status within the hospital! He was still too young!

“Why not? You should be interested in the director position! It’s only normal! Stop thinking ridiculous things every day. This emergency center that’s worth several hundred million yuan still can’t compare to your flea hospital?” Superintendent Ouyang put down her teacup and sat up straight. She was prepared to scold Zhang Fan for daring not to develop down the path that she expected!

“It’s not that. I’m too young, so I understand that the new director won’t possibly be me. I was just wondering if all emergency surgeries would be performed at this emergency center in the future, and if the surgical departments would no longer receive any emergency surgeries,” Zhang Fan hurriedly told her. He felt that Superintendent Ouyang was far too scary when she had her back straightened like this. She seemed ready to go to war!

“Yes, that’s the plan!”

“I can’t be the director, but could I go to the emergency center and be the chief resident doctor there?” Zhang Fan asked rather expectantly.

“Don’t even think about it. Even if the emergency center will be performing emergency surgeries, they’ll mostly be just the standard emergency surgeries. That won’t help to raise your level at all. Hurry and finish your rotations so that you can be permanently assigned to a department! Improving your reputation should be done as early as possible. Right now, you need to improve your skill level rather than trying to be a jack of all trades!”

Zhang Fan really felt like he wanted to cry. The amount of general surgery experience that his System required of him to level up was truly tremendous. The new emergency center would have been his best possible place to grind surgical experience at, but Superintendent Ouyang wouldn’t agree! Zhang Fan wanted to try some more to convince her, but Superintendent Ouyang became impatient and glared at him! Zhang Fan immediately shut up and got up. “Superintendent, I’m sure you’re busy, so I’ll be leaving now!”

“Take good care of that invitation and don’t lose it! Make sure to keep it in a safe spot at home!” Superintendent Ouyang smiled in relief to see how hurried Zhang Fan was to leave! She viewed him like her own child. No matter what, he was still respectful and obedient towards her!
