Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 194 - 131: Community Leaders Visit, the Ace Is Back (3)

What do you want to do?

No matter how you look at it, it shouldn't be a bad thing.

You definitely want to highlight the positives and make your clinic seem more grand and bright.

Li Jingsheng roughly recounted what happened yesterday, and the woman recorded it seriously.

"Weren't you afraid while saving the person, Dr. Li?"

"I'm just an ordinary citizen, why wouldn't I be afraid? But I must live up to this white coat I'm wearing. As a doctor, when I encounter patients or victims who need emergency treatment, I have a duty to help."

"Do you think it's worth the risk of being attacked by a perpetrator to save someone?"

"Absolutely worth it! As long as I can save a life, what harm is there in taking some risks? We doctors have a special reverence for life."

"Did you receive any thanks from the family or others after saving the person?"

"No. We just did something trivial within our duties, no need for anyone's thanks. We just hope that the victim can turn from danger to safety; that's our greatest comfort."

Li Jingsheng felt a bit embarrassed saying this.

But in society, when it's necessary to maintain appearances, you must do it.

Otherwise, a good thing could easily turn into a bad thing.

"Next time if there's a similar situation needing rescue, would you do it again?"

"Of course! I must."

"Alright, thank you for cooperating with our investigation, we won't disturb you further today."

After the investigation, the two community leaders took their leave.

Li Jingsheng was puzzled, feeling like it was an interview with a reporter, wondering what the community committee was up to.

After seeing the two leaders off, Li Jingsheng returned to the consultation desk and saw it was almost noon, then looked at Tang Ping.

"Sister Tang, would you mind going out to buy some fast food today?"

It was a chance for her to go home and see her child.

It's Saturday, Niuniu must be home.

She doesn't live far, less than a ten-minute walk.

"How about we just call for takeaway? I enrolled Niuniu in a dance class and sent her off to learn dancing, I'll pick her up after work."

She naturally knew that Li Jingsheng looked after her and her daughter.

"Wow, that's great! Niuniu is definitely going to grow up to be a super beauty, learning dance will make her even more outstanding."

Li Jingsheng praised.

"Other kids are so talented, mastering all kinds of skills—music, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, and instruments. My Niuniu follows me, and honestly, it's quite hard for her. As a mother, I don't have much skill, and even though this month's salary is a bit higher, it's normally just enough for the two of us to eat. It's been a long time since I've promised her I'd buy shrimp and today I finally did..."

At this point, Tang Ping's eyes were slightly red.

If she kept talking, she would probably choke up.

"Life will gradually get better. As the boss, I'll work hard too. As long as the business at the Sunshine Clinic can remain stable, both you and Dr. Gao will get reasonably good salaries."

Li Jingsheng realized that the burden on his shoulders had grown heavier.

Previously, it was a struggle just to make ends meet, and his focus was on getting the money to pay the wages he owed her.

Now, with basic needs mostly met, Tang Ping, Dr. Gao, and even himself had higher aspirations.

He couldn't help but think of a poem.

Running around all day just for hunger's sake. Once full, then thoughts turn to attire.

Once both clothing and food are secured, then comes the desire for a beautiful wife.

After marrying a beautiful wife and having children, lamenting the lack of land and foundation.

Upon acquiring vast fields and lands, one laments the lack of boats and horses for travel...

Human desires are endless. Once a small goal is achieved, new goals quickly appear for us to strive toward.

This can also be understood as ambition.

Aiming for a better life through hard work.

As the boss, Li Jingsheng must find ways to strengthen the Sunshine Clinic, so his employees have a promising future to look forward to.

He called for fast food, and the three of them quickly ate while there were no customers around noon.

While they were eating, the glass door swung open, and the flashy guy who had been bothering Tang Ping came back.

"Looks like I came at the right time! Just in time for lunch!"

This time, the flashy guy seemed different, lost in thought.

He hadn't shown up yesterday either.

Li Jingsheng was rather pleased, thinking that Boss Zhao had finally dealt with this 'thick-skinned' person.

Unexpectedly, he came again.

"Is there something you need, Boss Chen?"

Li Jingsheng couldn't muster enthusiasm in his response to this man.

Tang Ping and Xiaogao now mostly ignored this person.

"Not much, just wanted to ask if Boss Zhao at Quick Recovery Clinic is really that skilled?"

The flashy guy surprisingly offered Li Jingsheng a cigarette.

"Thank you, I don't smoke, and it's not allowed here. Boss Zhao is an old veteran; he's been running the clinic for over twenty years, and people speak highly of him. What's Boss Chen inquiring about this for?"

Li Jingsheng feigned ignorance deliberately.

Old Zhao wasn't exactly a good character, and Li Jingsheng definitely wouldn't get involved with anything regarding him.

"Nothing really, just asking. Alright, I won't disturb your meal anymore; goodbye."

Surprisingly, the flashy guy didn't even greet Tang Ping and left directly.

Watching him leave, Li Jingsheng quietly speculated that it seemed Boss Zhao had successfully brainwashed the flashy guy.

It's unclear how Old Zhao plans to deal with this guy next.

It can only be said that beautiful women are a source of trouble.

This is a struggle between two men revolving around Tang Ping.

But Old Zhao is very cunning, pretending to be a friend to this flashy guy, while actually sabotaging him.

"This Boss Chen seems like a completely different person, how strange!"

Tang Ping said with a puzzled expression.

"I think it's great; he probably won't be coming to our clinic to annoy us anymore." Xiaogao, while you might call him dumb, is anything but.

He can be quite sharp about many things.

Especially seeing how Boss Zhao dealt with the flashy guy, from Xiaogao's tone, he clearly figured it out.

Although, when it comes to clinical medicine, his performance is sometimes disappointing.

"Really? How do you know, Dr. Gao?"

Tang Ping seemed particularly happy to hear that the flashy guy wouldn't bother her again.

"Well, I'm just guessing. If I'm wrong, you can't scold me!" Xiaogao said, burying his head into his meal without saying more.

He knew the boss was smarter than him.

The boss surely knew the inside story here as well.

...

At the Gastroenterology Department of the People's Hospital, the medical staff were all excited, as if celebrating a festival, each looking particularly happy.

Because Director Lian, who had gone abroad for further study, was back.

The Gastroenterology Department had been going through a turbulent time recently, first with a senior physician with rich clinical experience retiring. It seemed there was no agreement on the hospital's reemployment terms, so he didn't return.

Then, a highly skilled chief physician was caught in a marital affair scandal, causing his wife to make a scene at the hospital. It even reached online platforms, leading to real-name reports to the discipline inspection committee and health authorities.

The superior authorities took this matter seriously, suspending the chief physician for investigation.

Whether he could return remained a mystery.

Because this chief physician's affairs involved not only nurses but also pharmaceutical salespeople, it was found that there were kickback issues and power-for-sex exchanges.

This matter was extremely troublesome, and even if the hospital wanted to protect him, it might not be possible.

In the large Gastroenterology Department, there were plenty of talents, but only three or four were truly outstanding.

Moreover, each had their own areas of expertise.

Director Lian, who was returning from abroad, was a master in all aspects.

Now that he was back, he was like the ace card returning, giving everyone a backbone when facing difficult cases.
