Although Zhang Fan was becoming impatient, Nie Shasha didn’t mind it at all. She had met far too many medical geniuses before. Zhang Fan’s impatience counted as nothing compared to some of their tempers. She had even seen expert doctors slamming their fist on the table in front of her father before. That was why her expression didn’t flicker at all as she continued to maintain a polite smile. “Oh my, it seems that I must have been impolite somewhere to make Doctor Zhang angry. Please don’t mind. Let me know immediately, and I’ll pay more attention next time. Allow me to drink this tea in place of wine to apologize to you!”
Zhang Fan felt awkward because of how polite and nice she was being. “Oh, it’s nothing. I really don’t drink much tea. Please do as you like. No need to mind me.” Since she was being so polite and sounded so sincere, this really helped to calm down Zhang Fan’s impatience. This was because Nie Shasha was highly skilled at dealing with others!
“Let’s have some Tie Guanyin tea, then!” Ma Wentao hurriedly took over. Since Zhang Fan wasn’t a tea drinker, Nie Shasha decided against performing any sort of tea ceremony. Instead, a server arrived to poured the tea for them, and then left the room.
Qin Rongyu then said, “This new hospital in Chasu City will have construction start next spring. President Nie, what are your plans regarding becoming a stockholder?”
Due to her father, Nie Shasha had already given part of the market in northeast China over to Qin Rongyu. The two women had different goals and philosophies. Although Nie Shasha also highly valued the basic medical market, she was still more interested in the medical equipment business. However, researching medical equipment turned out to be more difficult than she had thought, which was why she was still searching for new opportunities. Meanwhile, Qin Rongyu and Ma Wentao had more compatible goals. Qin Rongyu wanted to gain more power and influence through establishing a powerful hospital chain in all of China, while Ma Wentao wanted to have his hospitals become the #1 hospital business chain in China.
No matter if it was research or a hospital business, there would be something in common for both of them—highly skilled medical personnel.
“I would like to become a 20% shareholder. In the future, if you open up additional hospitals, I reserve the right to become one of the first shareholders as well,” Nie Shasha stated while putting down her teacup.
Something like this was a pure exchange of benefits. This would be unavoidable for development.
“Let me say that since I’ve already confirmed my partnership with Doctor Zhang beforehand, Doctor Zhang will be in charge of all medical decisions in the future.” Ma Wentao truly hoped that Nie Shasha wouldn’t want to get involved.
“That’s only natural. Professional decisions require professionals to make. However, I do have a small request! Could Doctor Zhang use only my company’s medical equipment in the future?”
“No. I would need to first determine the patient’s condition before making such a decision. I truly can’t do this.” Zhang Fan immediately objected because he knew that agreeing to this would be quite troublesome in the future. No matter what the patient’s situation was, if he was forced to use Nie Shasha’s medical equipment, he would become a surgical merchant, not a doctor.
“Haha, then in that case, if the conditions are appropriate, could Doctor Zhang use my company’s medical equipment then?”
“As long as the conditions are appropriate and the patient agrees, then yes.”
“Alright then. Thank you, Doctor Zhang. I’ll have Manager Yang contact you regarding the details.”
Although Zhang Fan currently seemed to be quite excellent and perhaps a genius, there was still a long time left in the future. Nie Shasha didn’t feel that it was time yet to gamble heavily on him. She was in no hurry at the moment. She wanted to observe Zhang Fan’s future development potential.
The rest of the details didn’t need to be discussed here at this meal. The lower-level managers would take care of that for them.
Zhang Fan was about to finish his rotation in the ICU department. During this month, Zhang Fan had witnessed just about every type of organ failure there was. The human body was just like a dam. Once a leak appeared in the dam, it would cost a tremendous amount in order to stop the leak and prevent it from growing.
Zhang Fan finished his final shift, and was about to leave. Tong Lili also finished her rotation in the ICU department at the same time. Due to her apparent connection with Zhang Fan, Chen Qi gave Zhang Fan a lot of face by requesting the hospital administration department that Tong Lili be assigned to his orthopedic department #3. As for whether or not Tong Lili would be able to stay in orthopedic department #3? That would depend on her own hard work.
After finishing this night shift, Zhang Fan and Tong Lili had one day off to rest before they would need to receive their next assignment from the hospital administration department.
“Zhang Fan, let me treat you to breakfast! I know a restaurant that has amazing breakfast!” Tong Lili offered as she waited at the department entrance, having finished changing already.
“I’m sorry, I really can’t today. We just moved, and haven’t finished cleaning up. I need to go back and help out.”
“It’s just breakfast. It won’t take too much of your time. Are you worried that Shao Hua will be jealous?” Tong Lili began to use her little schemes. She wanted to taunt Zhang Fan into going to breakfast with her.
“Yes, you’re so smart! You even realize this already!”
“Oh!” Tong Lili was rendered speechless. She could try to taunt him into going with her, but she wouldn’t be able to make fun of him for not going. This was a matter of trying not to be overly rude.
“Alright, you should hurry and go rest at home. There are dark circles under your eyes already. We’ve been busy all night,” Zhang Fan told Tong Lili.
“No! I…” Tong Lili was about to act spoiled, but Zhang Fan’s cell phone suddenly rang at this time. Tong Lili lost all her courage that she’d just managed to work up!
“Teacher Zhang, we’re about to receive a patient who accidentally cut off his entire hand! I can’t do this surgery!” The phone call was from Chen Qifa.
“Alright, I’ll soon be over there.” Zhang Fan then hung up, and told Tong Lili, “See, it’s good that I didn’t agree to go to breakfast with you. Otherwise, I’d have to break my promise to eat with you!” Zhang Fan immediately started leaving.
“Teacher Zhang, could you please take me? I want to go see as well!” Tong Lili acted pitiful and helpless as she looked right at Zhang Fan.
It was often that the best weapon to deal with a man would be a woman’s weakness. But if even acting weak and using tears couldn’t move the man, then everything else would likely be useless as well.
“Hey! If you’re not tired, you should just go home! Don’t cry if you see what it’s like when you come with me!” Zhang Fan told Tong Lili.
“Don’t underestimate me! I’m really amazing!” Tong Lili, who had almost been about to cry now, waved her fist and laughed at Zhang Fan.
He could only mentally shake his head. ‘Could it be that women are all born actresses?’ he wondered to himself.
Zhang Fan needed to get to Ma Wentao’s hospital as quickly as he possibly could. Time would be of the essence for a patient who had accidentally cut off their own hand. Just a few minutes would exponentially increase the danger and risk of failure.
Zhang Fan drove his car at top speed. The hospital guard on duty today at Chasu City Hospital saw that he was driving a luxury car and had a beautiful woman accompanying him. He jealously exclaimed, “Damn it! All the good ones are already taken by pigs!”
The Soviet Union had been the first to develop limb replantation surgery. The Soviet Union was also the best at performing limb replantation surgery, yet the Soviet Union had split up into many different countries in the end. The Soviet Union’s former glorious medical system had collapsed as well, falling from the peak down to the very bottom. This was good evidence that a medical system would be useless without a powerful country to back it up!
China had truly carried on with the Soviet Union’s limb replantation surgery techniques. However, the strange part was that limb replantation surgery was quite underdeveloped at regular public hospitals, yet China was world-class in performing limb replantation surgery.
This was all because of personal benefits. Limb replantation surgeries were extremely time-consuming and required a lot of personnel. Even surgery to reattach a single finger would take over an hour under a microscope, not to mention it would be far longer for bigger parts of the body. As for the medical equipment such a surgery would use up? It would only require a few threads and one or two Kirschner wires. At a public hospital, the doctor would only receive 30 yuan for performing this surgery which might take two or three hours. Not only that, more than 90% of limb replantation surgeries were emergency surgeries. That was why very few doctors at public hospitals in China were willing to study this surgical technique—the doctors would need to worry about making a living!
