Chapter 277: 278: Actually... I was bluffing, Chen Cang was the chief surgeon!



Chen Cang shook his head, “I don’t even have a partner yet, how could I be getting married? But I am planning to look at a house, after all, my job is stable now, and I’m thinking of finding a place to settle down.”

When the topic of dating came up, Chen Cang changed the subject, “Are you also looking at houses?”

Geng Yan was originally from Anyang City, and her family was comfortably well-off. When she went out to eat with Chen Cang during their school days, she often took the initiative to pay the bill, and when ordering, she rarely chose the expensive dishes, to take Chen Cang’s feelings into account.

After breaking up, it was for all kinds of reasons. After all, everyone has their own aspirations; it’s not right to say that a breakup is necessarily because somebody did something bad.

It’s just that everyone has their own pursuits!

Geng Yan shook her head, “Yeah, this place isn’t far from the First Hospital of Dongda, so I came over to look at houses.”

Chen Cang was taken aback and couldn’t help saying, “Didn’t the hospital give Jing Ran a house after he came back?”

Geng Yan nodded her head, “They originally said they would give us a house, but it’s all old houses and the square footage is quite small. We’re planning to have kids after we get married, so we thought about getting a bigger house. Hence, the hospital simply gave us a settlement fee, which happens to be just right for house hunting.”

Geng Yan couldn’t help saying, “It seems like your decision not to go to grad school was right. Now, even after grad school, it’s tough to find a job. Our classmates are all worrying about it now.”

Chen Cang laughed awkwardly, “I’ve gone back to study, haven’t I? Now you are all my seniors.”

Geng Yan couldn’t help laughing, “Looks like the three years in the emergency department didn’t hit you too hard. Still that cheeky, huh?”

Chen Cang just smiled without saying a word.

Yang Jiahui, pulling Chen Luo and Chen Dahai, was bustling with excitement as she looked at the real estate, discussing with the saleslady like an expert, not at all like someone from the countryside. Actually, even from the village, it was an urban village, the kind with several houses in hand.

Now she didn’t have the time to spend on Chen Cang.

Chen Cang asked, “By the way, did you come alone?”

Geng Yan shook her head, “I came with Jing Ran. Oh! That’s right, Jing Ran is my husband. We’re getting married soon, remember to come to the wedding.”

Chen Cang couldn’t help laughing, “Ex-boyfriend’s table?”

Geng Yan almost burst out laughing, cursing with a laugh, “Scram, you’re going to have a whole table to yourself!”

Chen Cang laughed heartily.

The two of them really had a good relationship. In college, it wasn’t love at first sight; Chen Cang was the class monitor and Geng Yan was the study committee member. First, they were very good friends, and then their relationship developed from there.

Therefore, due to their personalities, the two were able to connect and talk to each other.

But Geng Yan was an ambitious person.

Chen Cang said with a smile, “I thought you were going to study for a doctorate. Graduating from a master’s program and then getting married is quite different from the vow you made before!”

Geng Yan sneered, “You also said you would never go to grad school, and now here you are enrolled, right?”

After saying this, Geng Yan sighed, “We were just too naive back then! Life isn’t something you can plan on your own. Instead of saying we choose our life, it would be better to say life chooses us.

Actually, your choice wasn’t wrong either, just like me coming back to get married and go to work isn’t wrong. Everyone has different circumstances, and life never follows a script. There’s always a gap between imagination and reality.”

“People should do what’s right for them at the right time, based on their own situation!”

Chen Cang smiled and did not speak. Geng Yan understood this point, which was a big change compared to her strong-willed self from the past.

Upon reaching this point, Geng Yan hesitated but then, looking at Chen Cang, sincerely advised him, “But still, when you have the choice, I still think you should choose the best. I believe that going back to grad school is a good choice for you, after all, you’re so capable… You really could achieve something significant.”

“Moreover, after having been in the hospital for so long, you should know that the hospital has high demands for education. With just an undergraduate degree, you’re only a resident doctor, while Jing Ran is already the deputy head of the department.”

“I’m not saying Jing Ran is all that great or boasting about it, you know me.”

“I just think that sometimes, educational qualifications are really important, especially in our field of medicine, it saves a lot of time.”

Chen Cang did not deny it; this was the truth.

In the hospital, there are mandatory requirements for career advancement: with an undergraduate degree, you can take the intermediate title exam, which is an attending physician, after five years, and then work towards the deputy chief physician after another five years, and chief physician after another five years.

For masters’ graduates, it’s two years to become an attending physician, three years for deputy chief, and five years for chief!

PhD holders are even more impressive; they’re attending physicians upon graduation and can attempt the deputy chief physician exam after two years, followed by chief physician exam after three years.

When you calculate it, can you see how many years that saves?

After Dr. Jing Ran returned, he was appointed directly as the associate chief physician and deputy director of the department. He was just over thirty and had already achieved what others might not manage even at forty-five or fifty-six.

Why say the threshold to enter a hospital is high?

Because of this!

Geng Yan sighed and continued, “Besides, an education isn’t just a piece of paper—it’s a time when you can really learn a lot and master many techniques.”

“Why can Jing Ran make demands to the hospital, getting a house and arranging my job? It’s because Dongda First Hospital doesn’t have Jing Ran’s skills, and they need such a talent.”

“You didn’t attend the school’s new student ceremony last time. A freshman fainted and was subsequently diagnosed with echinococcosis, a disease that we in Dongyang simply couldn’t handle. If it hadn’t been for Jing Ran and a Chen brother who came for the school celebration, that patient would’ve been gone!”

“Plainly speaking, it’s all about the skills! If you don’t go out and see the world, there are many surgeries and diseases you’ll never come across.”

Chen Cang was taken aback—echinococcosis? Wasn’t that what he and Jing Ran had done together?

I…

Geng Yan kept speaking, “Furthermore, look at Jing Ran. The hospital gave him a house, or rather a settling-in allowance of a million yuan. How much could you earn in six years at the hospital? A junior doctor makes three to five thousand a month, which isn’t bad, and it takes years to make a name for oneself.”

Chen Cang looked at Geng Yan.

I…

At this moment, suddenly someone called out, “Geng Yan!”

Geng Yan quickly responded, “Coming, coming, Chen Cang, let me introduce to you my husband.”

As she spoke, Geng Yan turned around and pulled Jing Ran over, just about to make the introduction, “Let me introduce—this is…”

Jing Ran was surprised, “Dr. Chen?”

Chen Cang offered an awkward smile, “Dr. Jing, hello!”

In the midst of speaking, Geng Yan became somewhat dumbfounded.

What’s going on here?

“You know each other?”

Seeing Chen Cang, Jing Ran was somewhat excited; after all, their cooperation that time had left a lasting impression.

“Of course I know him; this is Dr. Chen who worked with me at the Provincial People’s Hospital to save a patient with echinococcal cysts!”

“Let me tell you, Dr. Chen has extremely high surgical skills, very skilled. I can’t compare! If it weren’t for him, I simply couldn’t have done it.”

Saying this, Jing Ran smiled sheepishly, “Actually, I boasted a bit to you… The surgery was actually led by Dr. Chen that time, and I just helped out. Dr. Chen’s level and talent are far above mine!”

With that, Geng Yan was dumbstruck, at a loss for words!

She looked at Jing Ran with a bewildered expression as if to say, “I just finished bigging you up, and now you… You letdown!”

Seeing Geng Yan’s changing expressions, Jing Ran thought she remembered the parasite eggs from the echinococcosis case and his own expression changed abruptly, “Geng Yan, about sending that photo… I thought… Dr. Chen had already shown her…”

Geng Yan’s face shifted again!

She shot Chen Cang a furious glance, filled with the message: You did that on purpose, didn’t you?

Chen Cang also couldn’t help but step back, looking at Jing Ran, thinking, man, don’t drag me into this!

Jing Ran hurriedly said, “Actually, Dr. Chen advised me not to send you the photo!”

[Ding! Geng Yan’s favorability -5!]

Chen Cang’s expression changed, “This… Let’s get together another day, I’ve suddenly got something here…”

Just then, suddenly a cry for help rang out, “Help! Someone help! Somebody has fallen from the building!”

Chen Cang and Jing Ran’s expressions shifted, and without concerning themselves with anything else, they rushed towards the commotion.

ps: For tonight, this is the third update, and there’ll be another at noon.

Thank you to Boss Ling and Boss Mo Ru Guo for their generous rewards, thank you!
