Peking Union Medical College Hospital.
Dean Zhang Yuyang was chatting with Qin Zoqin when Zhang De barged in with Meldie.
“Second Brother, take an X-ray for me,” Zhang De said with a smile.
“You’re getting ruder and ruder.
Don’t you know how to knock?” Zhang Yuyang said, pretending to be displeased.
“Hurry up.
Stop talking nonsense.” Zhang De made as if to pull him along.
“All right, all right.
Where does it hurt?” Zhang Yuyang asked with a smile.
“I don’t know either,” Zhang De said, somewhat bewildered.
“My daughter-in-law and I went to the steel mill for a massage, and the doctor there told me to come to the hospital for an X-ray.
He specifically asked for an X-ray of my lungs.” To Leon’s surprise, Meldie had betrayed him the moment she stepped out of the infirmary.
It was not that she had intentionally betrayed him; she simply felt her little tricks could not be hidden from her father-in-law, so she decided to tell the truth.
“The steel mill?
What’s the doctor’s surname?” Zoqin, who had not spoken until now, finally asked.
“His surname is Cole.
He’s a very young doctor,” Zhang De said with a smile.
“It’s him.” Zhang Yuyang and Zoqin spoke in unison.
“You two know him?” Zhang De asked curiously.
“He is my student,” Zoqin said with a smile.
“He almost became my student.” Zhang Yuyang sighed.
“All right, hold out your hand.
I’ll take your pulse.” Zhang De obediently extended his hand.
After a while.
“There is indeed a problem with your lungs, but it doesn’t seem serious enough to require an X-ray, does it?” Zhang Yuyang frowned.
Zoqin shrugged indifferently.
He admired Leon’s choice, but he also felt it was a pity.
After hearing that the steel rolling mill only had Leon as its doctor, they became even more disheartened.
“Since you’re already here, let’s take the X-ray first,” Zhang Yuyang decided.
Half an hour later.
“This…” Looking at Zhang De’s medical records, Zhang Yuyang turned to Zoqin and said, “Old Qin, is there any way to get him into Peking Union Medical College Hospital?
I’ll send four doctors to take turns working at the steel mill.” “What’s going on?” Zoqin curiously took the film and gasped in surprise.
“No, you have to tell me what’s going on,” Zhang De said anxiously.
“Lung cancer,” Zhang Yuyang said.
“!!” Zhang De and Meldie lost their balance and both fell to the ground.
Soon after, the two of them began crying.
“Why are you crying?
It isn’t that bad yet.” Zhang Yuyang said in a deep voice, “Fortunately, it was discovered early, so it can still be treated.” “Really?” Zhang De asked, his eyes brimming with tears.
“Fine, don’t believe me then.” Zhang Yuyang was too lazy to argue with him.
They were brothers, and he had known Zhang De’s character since childhood.
If he did not scare him, Zhang De definitely would not cooperate with treatment.
“Second Brother, you have to save me.” Zhang De wiped away his tears.
“Send a gift to Dr.
Cole before you’re admitted.
If it weren’t for him, you would have died sooner or later.” Zhang Yuyang sighed.
“Even if you had come back next month, it might already have been too late.” … Steel Rolling Mill.
Leon was disinfecting a worker’s finger.
The worker had cut it on a machine, but it was not a serious problem.
“Eat less spicy food and rest more recently.
There shouldn’t be any major issues.” “Thank you, Dr.
Cole,” the worker said gratefully.
“Go on.” Just as Leon was about to dismiss him, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the door.
Then it sounded as though a large group of people was walking toward the infirmary.
“Dr.
Cole, my father-in-law brought you a banner!” Meldie was the first to enter the infirmary.
“What the hell?” Leon looked flustered.
A banner?
Was she joking?
“Dr.
Cole, well done!
You’ve brought honor to our steel mill!” Factory Director Yang walked in, his face beaming.
Zhang De was no ordinary person.
He might not be a top-tier big shot, but he was definitely an important mid-level figure.
Many people gathered around, ready to watch the excitement.
“Dr.
Cole, thank you so much.” Zhang De held the banner, still looking frightened.
“No, no, it really wasn’t that serious…” Leon hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but Zhang De had already unfurled the banner.
“A doctor of noble character and superb skill.” Several large, gilded characters appeared before everyone.
“No, Mr.
Zhang, you’re far too kind.” Leon was genuinely at a loss for words.
“Not at all, not at all.” Zhang De hurriedly said, “If it weren’t for Dr.
Cole, I might have lost my life.” Having already learned the situation, Factory Director Yang immediately said to his secretary, “Dr.
Cole’s medical skills are superb.
We should raise his salary…” “He just started working at the factory,” someone objected.
“So what if he just joined?” Zhang De said coldly.
“If you don’t treat Dr.
Cole well, Peking Union Medical College Hospital will poach him sooner or later.
I know Dean Zhang of Peking Union is willing to exchange four doctors stationed at the steel mill for Dr.
Cole…” “Dad!” Meldie immediately shouted.
No wonder her second uncle had treated him so casually.
Once Zhang De said that, the steel mill would become wary, and there would be no chance of transferring him away.
“Is that true?” Director Yang immediately became nervous.
“Promote Dr.
Cole to level five… no, level six, with the same subsidy!” The leaders who had initially expressed some reservations immediately fell silent when they heard that Peking Union Medical College Hospital wanted to poach their doctor.
They did not care much themselves, since they had access to top-notch medical resources.
But if the workers found out that the factory had let such a doctor leave, they would definitely cause trouble.
A short while later, the factory loudspeaker came on.
“Dr.
Cole Leon of the infirmary is upright, virtuous, and possesses the highest medical ethics…” After several words of praise, the main point came.
“The factory has decided to grant Dr.
Cole level-six treatment.
We hope he will continue his efforts and create a better future for the steel rolling mill.” … Workshop One.
“Level-six treatment, and he’s only in his early twenties,” Yi Zhonghai muttered to himself.
“What makes him so special?” Jia Dongxu was almost driven mad with jealousy.
He had worked for four years and was still only a first-level worker.
That kid had only been at the factory for a few days, yet he was already receiving level-six treatment!?
The level-six salary was 77.85 yuan, almost three times his regular salary!
When Liu Haizhong heard this news, he almost pinched his own hand off.
The highest-paid worker in the courtyard was Yi Zhonghai, an eighth-grade worker earning ninety-nine yuan a month.
Next was Liu Haizhong, a seventh-grade fitter earning eighty-five yuan.
As for Old Yan… he earned a little over thirty yuan a month, barely enough to support his family.
In the kitchen, Sha Zhu was also dumbfounded.
He had not paid much attention to Leon before and had thought he was just an intern.
He had never expected Leon to start with level-four treatment, then jump two levels to level six.
All of a sudden, Sha Zhu felt that his monthly salary of 37.5 yuan was not so appealing anymore.
Infirmary.
After a while, everyone left except Director Yang.
“Factory Director, is there something else?” Leon asked in surprise.
“I heard you’re very good at massage.
My shoulder has been hurting badly lately.
Could you give me a massage?” Director Yang said with a smile.
“I’m almost off work,” Leon said, pretending to be reluctant.
“Don’t worry.
I won’t let you work for nothing.” Factory Director Yang took a coupon out of his pocket and stuffed it into Leon’s hand.
“A sewing machine coupon?
No, Factory Director, I don’t know how to use that thing either,” Leon said, pretending innocence after receiving the benefit.
“Then give it back to me…” “Fine, I’ll accept it reluctantly.” “Screw you.” The two joked around.
But once Leon actually began working, his expression immediately became serious.
“Hiss!” Factory Director Yang sucked in a breath, and his mind was instantly made up.
This kid could not be traded away for anything.
No one was changing his mind!
