Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital Chapter 550 - 424: The Real Doctor (Part 2)
Zhao Heng saw Ren Cong looking sowhat excited and was deeply moved. It seems that no matter the circle or profession, without recognition, even if one has great abilities, they can’t be effectively utilized.
Honestly, he also hoped from the bottom of his heart that Luo Ji’s drama would be well-produced, showcasing the grace of doctors, and putting an end to their stigmatization, considering how prominent doctor-patient conflicts have beco.
Shortly after, the morning work ended, and Luo Ji waved his hand, finding a decent restaurant near the hospital to have lunch together.
Being the first day of filming, Luo Ji, as the director, naturally had to make an effort; whereas for regular filming later, due to tight schedules, als were usually box lunches.
One o’clock PM.
Inside the restaurant’s private room.
Luo Ji, along with the lead actors and so staff, and Zhao Heng, gathered around the dining table.
The table was already laden with dishes, and Zhao Heng noticed they were all quite substantial, indicating that Luo Ji wasn’t stingy with money, and being their first gathering, it had to be sowhat upscale.
"We have work in the afternoon, so let’s just eat casually. Everyone relax."
Luo Ji didn’t have the habit of saying, "Everyone, pause, I have sothing to say," followed by thirty minutes of monologue. Instead, he simply ntioned it and began eating.
This straightforward style is precisely why Luo Ji was so well-liked in the circle.
"Xiao Zhao, I heard you bought a house at North City No.1 Courtyard from Yang Mi? Have you moved in?"
Seated next to Zhao Heng, Luo Ji suddenly asked.
On hearing this, Ren Cong, sitting beside Luo Ji, and Zhang Li, seated beside Zhao Heng, were both very curious.
People in the circle knew Yang Mi had a house at North City No.1 Courtyard. It’s not that Yang Mi had beco a hot topic due to her house purchase.
It’s just that when Yang Mi was with her ex-husband, they were extrely high-profile, making buying a house part of the showcase.
Now, however, their paths have split, leaving watchers sighing sowhat.
"Yeah, after so renovations, I’ve moved in."
Zhao Heng nodded and took a sip of corn juice as he spoke.
"Do doctors earn that much? Yang Mi’s house at North City No.1 Courtyard is worth at least several tens of millions."
Luo Ji asked with genuine curiosity.
Hearing this, Zhang Li and Ren Cong were equally curious. Neither were natives of North City, even though they have formal training and graduated quite a few years back, having acted in several plays, but still haven’t bought their own houses in North City.
Yet here Zhao Heng, young as he is, has bought a house worth several tens of millions in North City?
"Previously partnered up to develop a software, made a little money, and bought it."
Zhao Heng responded casually.
"That’s not just a little money. At your age, managing to buy a house in North City based on your own ability is exceedingly difficult."
Luo Ji said with so sentint.
In one’s twenties, being able to buy a house in North City by sheer ability is indeed possible in the entertainnt industry, where overnight success and fa are common. For top-tier stars, acquiring a North City house might take just a few years, or even one to two years.
However, in the dical profession, earning money isn’t nearly that fast.
"Yeah, I’m still renting."
Zhang Li smiled, speaking candidly. Several close friends of hers within the circle were also renting in North City, and there was no embarrassnt in saying so.
Money cos quickly in the entertainnt business, but very few people truly enjoy high returns, making this a circle where 1% get 99% of the money, perhaps even more exaggerated.
Just think about it: so top-tier celebrities earn millions a day, yet their assistants receive only a normal monthly salary of one to two thousand. Working together, this inco gap is boundless.
"There’s nothing wrong with renting. In the current environnt, buying a ho is too difficult for young people and being tied to a house isn’t the lifestyle young people should have in a new age."
Luo Ji remarked with feeling.
Although buying a house is the ultimate dream for those who drift into North City, few manage to achieve it.
"Xiao Zhao, I heard from an old friend that you’re now a consultant for Huaxia Life Insurance’s high-end dical departnt?"
After a pause, Luo Ji asked again.
"It’s more like a part-ti job to supplent household expenses."
Zhao Heng nodded.
With Huaxia Life Insurance, their contracts only contain confidentiality clauses for client privacy, so being a consultant isn’t a secret. Therefore, since Luo Ji asked, there was no harm in divulging.
"In ancient terms, this consultancy is almost equivalent to being an Imperial Physician."
Luo Ji said slowly.
"It’s all about treating and saving people, not much difference."
Zhao Heng replied indifferently.
"Xiao Zhao, aren’t you curious where I got this information from?"
Luo Ji smiled and asked.
"A while back, you healed the daughter of one of our company’s directors. Ring a bell?
After pausing, Luo Ji revealed directly without keeping it secret.
"Wang Lei? This world really is small. But he’s a real estate mogul, investing in the film industry too?"
Zhao Heng asked, sowhat surprised. In his mind, Wang Lei was a giant in the real estate business; he hadn’t heard much about him investing in the film industry.
"Not keeping all eggs in one basket, diversifying investnt risks is standard."
Luo Ji explained.
"Old Luo, I feel like there’s a huge circle, and the people coming and going are the sa ones."
Zhao Heng asked, puzzled.
It wasn’t strange for him to ask this. Consider Wang Lei, a real estate tycoon, beca a major client of Huaxia Life Insurance’s high-end dical departnt, then ca to Zhao Heng for treatnt.
anwhile with Luo Ji, a director who’s unexpectedly acquainted with Zhao Heng, Wang Lei is a board mber of the film company. This connection surely indicates the circle constantly involves the sa people.
"That’s normal; mixing in North City, who doesn’t have friends? Wang Lei is quite good, uncommon, he told you can find him if you truly need help; he’d never refuse."
Luo Ji gave Zhao Heng a slight hint.
Indeed, Wang Lei had ntioned this in front of Zhao Heng, but Zhao Heng didn’t pay much attention.
After witnessing Zhao Heng’s superb dical skills, Wang Lei wanted to forge a good relationship, for aging himself, while his parents were already advanced in age.
"I don’t think I have anything worth finding him for..."
Zhao Heng contemplated; economically, he earned enough; he wasn’t in business, didn’t need money for investnts; as for other areas, in the hospital, as a departnt head, he didn’t trouble others.
Hence, thinking carefully, there really wasn’t anything he needed Wang Lei for, plus Ma Jianteng had said similar things to Zhao Heng.
"Knowing more people is never bad; you might need it soday."
Luo Ji remarked slowly.
In his view, Zhao Heng was still young; in today’s society, everyone finds themselves needing others.
Sitting next to Zhao Heng, Zhang Li listened to Luo Ji and Zhao Heng’s dialogue, secretly clicking her tongue in astonishnt. Without so much as a word, young Departnt Head Zhao Heng had gained connections like Wang Lei, a real estate mogul.
This truly elite doctor had surprisingly complex networking!
Upon considering this, Zhang Li cast a different gaze towards Zhao Heng.
This was a person worth befriending.
Thought Zhang Li.
After eating, the crew and Zhao Heng returned to the hospital; naturally, Zhao Heng beca busy with work again. The morning ti had to be squeezed from his schedule, and there was plenty to do in the afternoon, especially outpatient clinics, where many patients had booked well in advance, so Zhao Heng was rather occupied.
