Chapter 239: Chapter 131: Dimensional Reduction Strike, The Woman with a Broken Bone
Director Xie had his eye on him strategically to prevent the Emergency Department from becoming too powerful. It’s likely that no specialty department sincerely wants to see the Emergency Department grow.
Because the Emergency Department is the first choice for registration for most patients.
If it’s powerful, many cases can be directly handled, effectively snatching patients from the specialty departments.
Transferring Zhou Can to surgery would not only curb the growth of the Emergency Department but also bring a super genius to the surgery team.
Killing two birds with one stone, the benefits are plentiful.
That’s why Director Xie didn’t hesitate to lower his stance and put in so much effort to headhunt him.
“I haven’t considered that at this time!”
Zhou Can tactfully declined Director Xie’s invitation.
A good horse doesn’t graze on a patch of grass twice.
Moreover, the variety of traits exhibited by Director Xie have made Zhou Can extremely distrustful. There’s even less possibility that he would entrust his future to such a person.
“What if I tell you that, considering your excellent performance, you could work in promising top surgical departments such as Neurosurgery or Cardiothoracic Surgery?”
His gaze was fixed on Zhou Can.
He believed the bait he cast would tempt any resident doctor.
The thresholds for these two departments are extremely high.
Even graduate and doctoral degrees may not guarantee entry.
“Thank you for your guidance and favor, but I still prefer working in the Emergency Department.”
Zhou Can’s refusal was more explicit this time.
Otherwise, even if Director Xie were to offer several more attractive conditions, he still wouldn’t be swayed, which could potentially lead to frustration and anger.
“Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?”
Director Xie’s tone became slightly colder.
“I’ve thought it through very clearly.”
Zhou Can once again resolutely declined Director Xie’s recruitment.
“Having talent and gifts is good. But without a favorable growth environment, your final achievements surely won’t be that significant. You must recognize your disadvantages – with a lower educational level, it is almost impossible to have great development in Internal Medicine. Surgery is your only chance and path for development. If you are determined to stay in the Emergency Department, then I will make sure that during your residency in surgery, you will receive training suited to Emergency Medicine.”
Director Xie, seeing that his recruitment was unsuccessful, started to threaten directly.
We’re all civilized people and won’t openly threaten.
Instead, we state the advantages and disadvantages, forcing the other party to make a choice.
Like those despicable male professors, with plenty of years behind them. If they fancy a female student, they wouldn’t resort to violence to get what they want.
Instead, they would deliberately fail her paper, or have her work on some dead-end research project.
In an indirect way, making the student agree to unreasonable demands.
Zhou Can was facing such unwritten rules at this moment.
If he doesn’t agree, he’ll be left out in the cold in all subsequent surgery residency programs.
There’s no need to doubt the power of a major director.
With just a message from Director Xie to the heads of the departments below, Zhou Can would find himself thrown into a cold cellar.
“A General’s belly can hold a boat. I believe, with your capability of potentially becoming a head of major surgery departments, you wouldn’t go after a small resident doctor like me over such a trivial matter.”
Zhou Can’s face showed a slight change.
Flipping the table and cursing definitely wouldn’t work; it’s equivalent to signing his own death warrant.
Unless he no longer wished to stay at Tu Ya.
The only hope was that Director Xie, with his status, wouldn’t stoop so low to hit someone beneath him.
“Heh, putting a tall hat on me won’t work. Even if you take this matter to Dean Zhu, my stance remains the same.” Director Xie also knew about Zhou Can’s connection with Dean Zhu.
But he dared to threaten Zhou Can because he wasn’t afraid of any fuss Zhou Can might cause.
On such a trivial matter, a big shot can indeed act on a whim.
Don’t be naive thinking of making appeals.
Bringing Dean Zhu into it would most likely result in Zhou Can being criticized.
Such phenomena are not unique to hospitals; they’re the same in other businesses and units too.
Leaders are leaders, and the lower ranks are the lower ranks.
For those at the bottom to challenge the leadership is a big taboo.
“Can’t you just spare a small resident doctor like me?”
Zhou Can made a last effort.
Was it because he talked back to Director Xie last time in the Emergency Department? And Director Xie held a grudge?
Now, taking this opportunity for suppression and revenge?
This was less likely. Because if Director Xie really bore such a grudge, he wouldn’t have waited until now to act.
From his first day in the surgery department, he could have already faced suppression from Director Xie.
“I’ll give you an example. If a mosquito is flying around you, would you reach out to swat it?”
Director Xie didn’t answer directly.
Instead, he used this analogy for Zhou Can to reflect on it.
In this situation, nine out of ten people would kill the mosquito.
Zhou Can bitterly smiled to himself.
He was being likened to a mosquito by Director Xie, that annoying?
After two seconds of thought, he tactfully responded, “Swatting mosquitos with your hands is not good, it’s easy to get infected with viruses and bacteria they carry. I usually shoo them away.”
This was a clever response.
Subtly hinting Director Xie that the ‘mosquito’ is poisonous, don’t hit it.
“Why do you shoo it away?”
Director Xie continued to question.
“Because I’m afraid of being bitten.”
Zhou Can was compelled to answer.
“Since you’re sensible, why then do you need to ask me? Young man, the workplace is as deep as the ocean, some truths you will eventually understand. Go on with your work, the doors of the surgery department will always be open for you. When you’ve thought it through, you can come and find me again.”
With these words, Director Xie effectively issued a dismissal.
Still, he left Zhou Can an out.
After leaving the director’s office, Zhou Can felt somewhat heavy-hearted.
