Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu
The weather suddenly got much colder. A storm of rain combined with snow made all the roads in Chasu City beco muddy. The tree leaves started turning yellow and falling from the trees. Autumn was now ending.
Previously, Zhang Fan paid very little attention to his clothing. Shao Hua now had one new hobby compared to before she started dating him: dressing up Zhang Fan!
Shao Hua no longer allowed him to wear much of his old clothing. Since Zhang Fan paid very little attention to clothing, very few of his clothing matched each other well. She would take him shopping where he felt like the stores were filled with way too many jackets of different colors. Winters in Chasu City were too cold. Zhang Fan often needed to go out in the middle of the night for ergency surgeries, so down-filled jackets wouldn’t be warm enough. He needed a thick leather jacket.
Zhang Fan looked at himself in the mirror. A brown leather jacket, jeans, and work shoes. This looked good on him. However, he didn’t really want to buy this. It was too expensive! This set of clothing would cost a bit more than 4,000 yuan, which was truly expensive.
Shao Hua was personally unwilling to wear clothes that were too expensive. However, she had much stricter requirents for Zhang Fan. “I’m just an ordinary bank employee. Every day, I have to wear the bank uniform, so it’s fine for to just wear a jacket on top. Besides, I don’t go out with others that much. However, it’s different for you. It’s really important for n to give off a sharp aura. If you wear just a random assortnt of clothes every day, you won’t look sharp at all. Besides, if you wear better clothing, it’ll also give face.”
“Then you should also buy so clothes for yourself to give face.” Zhang Fan had said sothing stupid! Shao Hua imdiately responded by trying to bite Zhang Fan. In the end, Zhang Fan felt warm in his heart when he exited the mall. He couldn’t explain it clearly or what bliss or love were supposed to be, but this was how he felt. It was a faint and warm feeling that was like a warm current running through his heart.
Compared to regular surgeons, Zhang Fan’s skills were far too all-encompassing. He was basically a surgeon who was vice director level in every single type of surgery. Zhang Fan now monopolized all the surgeries at smaller city hospitals in the nearby area. He was capable of performing all sorts of general and orthopedic surgeries. Although he had obtained so fa within Chasu City Hospital, he was still young. There were many things in the departnts that Zhang Fan couldn’t deal with just yet.
Zhang Fan’s na now appeared on the lists of all the major dical equipnt suppliers since he had monopolized all the surgeries in the nearby area. Although the smaller city hospitals couldn’t compare in number of surgeries to Chasu City Hospital, all of them added up together would still amount to a large number of surgeries. This would represent benefits. This was a market. The dical equipnt rchants ruled this market.
It would be impossible for a dical equipnt rchant to access any city level hospital without a governntal leader of so sort as backup and support. dical equipnt was also categorized between imported and Chinese, and the doctors would have to use the dical equipnt after it was brought to the hospital. How were the rchants supposed to convince the doctors to use their equipnt?
The boss of the dical equipnt supply company would be responsible for securing business with the hospital. The salesn would be in charge of negotiating with the departnt directors and doctors. An excellent salesman would be able to make it so that a departnt director viewed him or her as part of their family.
This type of job would take place over a long period of ti. Countless days would have to be spent maintaining a relationship. Once a doctor was promoted to attending physician, as long as the doctor had so skills in their field, dical equipnt suppliers’ representatives would try and contact the doctor and negotiate an agreent, gambling on the doctor’s future success.
dical equipnt suppliers would start contacting attending physicians and heavily invest in vice directors. As for departnt directors, especially when it ca to departnt directors of major departnts in larger hospitals, the competition for the director’s business could be quite cruel. Not only were the doctors themselves competing against each other for position of director, there were also many other factors involved here.
First of all, you would need to be one of the best in skill level in the departnt to be considered for director. Next would be the competition for who had more outside resources and power. Although Zhang Fan was only a resident doctor currently, not even promoted to attending physician yet, he was already showing his skills in the dical field. Li Qiong, who was Gao Shijun’s personal dical equipnt supplier, intended on contacting Zhang Fan even though he was only a resident doctor.
Li Qiong had many different brands under her managent. She had been in her business for more than ten years already and was now deeply involved with Chasu City Hospital’s internal workings. It would be incredibly simple for her to learn of Zhang Fan’s movents now that she was interested in him.
For instance, Zhang Fan needed to perform a bone fracture internal fixation surgery at Chark City Hospital tomorrow. He would give part of his surgery fee to the doctors there, which was why the local doctors would happily gather patients for him. For smaller city hospitals, they typically wouldn’t have enough dical equipnt on hand. Instead, the departnt director or doctor in charge of the patient would call the dical equipnt supplier one day before the scheduled surgery, and the supplier would deliver the dical equipnt so that it could be disinfected and used for the surgery on the following day.
Because of this, Li Qiong would learn one day ahead of ti where Zhang Fan was going whenever he had an orthopedic surgery. After Zhang Fan finished the surgery at Chark City Hospital, he saw Li Qiong when he walked over to his car.
“Doctor Zhang, are you returning to Chasu City? How about giving a ride?” Li Qiong smiled like a blooming flower. She was highly skilled at dressing herself up. She appeared mature yet also seductive. Even her body language and words seed like they could allure soone.
“Oh! President Li! Yeah, are you going back to Chasu City? Feel free to get on my car.” Zhang Fan had previously t Li Qiong through Gao Shijun.
She got on his car and they headed back to Chasu City. “Doctor Zhang, did you co here to perform a surgery?”
“Yeah.”
“You’re truly amazing. I’m really impressed with you, so young and highly skilled. You really are incredible! When I was younger, my dream was to beco a doctor, but I was too stupid! I didn’t have the chance.”
“It’s just a job. It’s also not as good as you think it is.”
“You save people from dying. It’s quite divine! Doctor Zhang, surely there must be many girls interested in you with how excellent you are.””
“Haha! I’m almost about to get married.” Zhang Fan felt that sothing was off. He sensed that Li Qiong’s tone contained sothing that sounded like she was intentionally trying to get close to him. She reminded him of himself back when he was a food seller, trying to get into all of his classmates’ good graces in order to improve his food sales. Zhang Fan started being on guard against Li Qiong. However, he had still underestimated her. For soone like her who was a highly successful dical equipnt supplier, she would have been crushed by her competition long ago if she didn’t have high intelligence as well as high emotional intelligence.
“Really now! It seems that Doctor Zhang must have caused many won’s hearts to suffer. Doctor Zhang, what district did you buy an apartnt in then?” Li Qiong asked with an expression of exaggerated surprise.
“Oh, Qinghua District.”
“Really? That’s wonderful. I also have an apartnt in Qinghua District. What a coincidence. Doctor Zhang, I think I’m only a few years older than you?”
“I suppose. You look quite young, President Li.”
“Doctor Zhang, you’re quite the flatterer. We’re friends from now on then, how about it?”
“Oh! Haha, sure! We’ll be friends!” Zhang Fan agreed to whatever she said without actually being serious about it.
“It’s settled then. Don’t be reserved with if you need anything in the future. For instance, if you need to buy sothing for your ho, or heavy work like installing so electronics or assembling furniture, let know. I’ll definitely have it taken care of excellently for you.”
“Thank you the, President Li.”
“Doctor Zhang, do you have other business in Chasu City today? Since we coincidentally t today, let’s eat dinner together? Could you please give face?” Li Qiong suddenly changed her tone to sound pitiful rather than generous. She was skilled at instantly changing her tone.
“Oh, I’m truly sorry. I already have plans to eat dinner with my girlfriend tonight. I’m so sorry.” Zhang Fan directly refused. He was quite clear that he was only an ordinary person and that this dinner would probably involve things above his level to handle. Right now, he already had a good inco, so he didn’t want to get involved in more things. His greatest goal was only to grind as many surgeries as he possibly could.
“Next ti then. It’s such a pity!” Li Qiong wasn’t in any hurry even though Zhang Fan was being difficult to establish a relationship with. She would have been more worried if she had been able to successfully conquer him on the very first ti. To her, the more difficult a person was to establish a relationship with, the safer that person would be. People who were able to resist temptation would be able to achieve greater things. This was why she wasn’t impatient!
Zhang Fan arrived in Chasu City. Li Qiong got off his car before he arrived at the hospital, because she knew that with her status, it wouldn’t be good for other doctors to see her together with Zhang Fan. She got off his car imdiately upon arriving in Chasu City. She was highly satisfied with Zhang Fan on her first ti trying to contact him. He seed to be the steady and cautious type!
