Chapter 21 Humiliation

"Hello, now that we know each other, is there anything else you need?"

Yang Chan smiled and blinked.

Polite and enthusiastic on the surface, but actually keeping people at arm's length.

Zhou Can couldn't help but suppress his laughter.

Back then, he had been fed the same gentle rejection by Yang Chan.

Now, watching her use the same tactic on Du Leng, why does it feel so satisfying?

"Hehe... I noticed your surgical skills are particularly impressive, and I really admire them. Over the years, I've mainly focused on academia and fell a bit behind in surgery. Could you give me your email, so I can consult you on surgical techniques later?"

Du Leng really has thick skin.

The girl had already subtly rejected him, but he pretended not to notice and kept pestering her.

And his method of asking for contact information was pretty clever.

Directly asking for a phone number or WeChat is easy to reject.

Asking for an email address, on one hand, shows sophistication – after all, in developed countries, especially the United States, people prefer to use emails. On the other hand, it makes it seem like he genuinely wants it for work-related communication.

Phone numbers, WeChat, or QQ numbers are more likely to be associated with a clear intention to make friends.

"Email? I don't really check it much! Dr. Du, if you want to learn about surgical techniques, I think it would be better to consult Dr. Zhou Can, who ranked first!"

This time, she directly uses her old classmate Zhou Can as a shield.

Du Leng, under the guise of wanting to learn surgical techniques, was actually seeking more interaction with this top beauty.

Now being directed to consult a male instead, he wasn't eager at all.

He also realized this knowledgeable and elegant beauty was hard to approach, but didn't want to make a bad impression on her. He decided to stop while he was ahead and find another opportunity later.

He then chuckled awkwardly, "Never mind, I'm not very familiar with Dr. Zhou, I'll consult him some other time then! Goodbye!"

Du Leng left with his tail between his legs, making a quick exit.

"I could introduce you to Dr. Zhou, you know? Zhou Can and I are classmates!"

Yang Chan is too sly.

Even though she had already sent him packing, she still wanted to leave a deeper impression.

She wanted to make sure Du Leng was discouraged enough from casually approaching her again.

"I wouldn't want to trouble you, Dr. Yang. I'll meet Dr. Zhou on my own in the future! Thank you!" Du Leng said, wiping sweat from his forehead as he walked away.

Worried that Yang Chan might bring up introducing him to Zhou Can again, he hurriedly kept his distance.

"He's leaving already? Introducing you two is really no trouble at all since Zhou Can is my classmate!"

Du Leng pretended not to hear.

He dared not respond again.

He just sat far away, quickly fiddling with his phone to ease his inner embarrassment and nervousness.

Zhou Can almost burst out laughing.

It's just as well that this Mr. Du knew his place, otherwise, Zhou Can wouldn't mind walking over and introducing himself.

Trying to hit on the beauty of class 512, he'd have to ask the male classmates of 512 if they agree.

After nearly half an hour, the directors of various departments and the head nurse finally came to pick people.

The first to arrive was the director of the medical technology department, who took away all 8 medical technology residents.

The specific arrangements would be made within the department.

Then, many heads of the nursing department came to pick people.

They each belonged to different major departments.

They generally prefer to pick personnel that match their own departments.

Though nurses rank below doctors in hospitals, their importance is extremely high.

Other than assisting doctors in administering medication and injections to patients, nurses handle most of the patient care after surgery and during hospital stays. Sometimes when doctors make mistakes in their medical orders, competent nurses immediately point them out and have the doctors correct them.

As for operating room instrument nurses, scrub nurses, and circulating nurses, it's because of their professional assistance that surgeries can be completed smoothly and efficiently.

It's worth mentioning that with the changing perceptions and the actual needs of the hospital, the nursing team has gradually included men.

However, the number of male nurses is still very scarce.

Nursing and medical technology residents were all selected.

That left twenty general practice residents.

In any hospital, the core talent is always doctors.

These twenty individuals would be divided among the emergency department, obstetrics and gynecology, internal medicine, various surgical departments, and pediatrics.

Anesthesia and pharmaceutical departments do not participate.

The anesthesia department is quite special, being an interdisciplinary field encompassing a broad range of knowledge, not just meeting the needs of surgery but also involved in the resuscitation efforts of various departments, painless childbirth, and abortion procedures in gynecology.

Recruitment is generally targeted, or the hospital's clinical departments cultivate their own.

Sometimes, if the hospital lacks an anesthesiologist and can't recruit suitable candidates soon enough, the hospital leaders turn their attention to the internal medicine department. They talk to one or two newcomers, saying that they've performed well recently and there's an opportunity for advanced training. Would they like to seize it?

Typical workplace newcomers can hardly resist such temptation.

They immediately agree, as eager as chickens pecking for food.

Then they're told to study anesthesiology and subsequently work in the anesthesia department, saying it has less work and more money, with more opportunities for promotion than other departments.

All just smooth talk.

Most newcomers happily agree, thinking they've been recognized by their leaders and have snagged a good promotional opportunity.

Once they actually join the anesthesia department, they realize they've been thoroughly duped.

…

Not long after, directors of the major departments arrived.

"Yang Chan has always been groomed by my obstetrics department, so you other directors better not compete with me for her!"
