My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 1413 - 563: Let Your Kindness Have an Edge—Something Happened

From Zhou Can’s perspective, his acquaintance’s family was truly undeserving of the title ‘family,’ as they relentlessly exploited their daughter to an outrageous degree.

Fully aware that she already had a mortgage on her home, they proceeded to take out a 700,000 high-interest loan under her name, giving no thought to the consequences she would face.

They apparently operated under the assumption that she held a PhD and must be earning a substantial income.

This act effectively compelled her to utilize her finances for loan repayment.

In reality, her situation had deteriorated to such an extent that selling her sole residence became necessary to settle the debt.

Therefore, the notion of her possessing hidden savings was utterly implausible.

"Alright, I should be heading off. Remember, don’t go out drinking alone next time. It’s very dangerous for a girl!"

Zhou Can initiated his departure.

"Boss, if next time my mom cries and begs me to lend money to my brother, and I agree, will you be disappointed?"

She posed the question.

"You’re an adult, with your own considerations and thoughts. I certainly won’t interfere in your family matters. Also, I won’t be disappointed; I’ll just think it’s a pity. You can actually handle this unequal, distorted family affection correctly to normalize your life. Do you have paper and pen?"

Zhou Can inquired.

"Yes!"

She retrieved paper and a pen from her shoulder bag.

"Here you go!"

She presented them to Zhou Can.

"I’ll give you a phrase that can help you properly handle your parents’ and brother’s extreme exploitation and demands. If you can achieve this, I can assure you that not only will you not lose familial affection, but it will also teach them to respect you in the future."

With that said, Zhou Can swiftly penned a line on the paper.

She narrowed her eyes to read the inscription.

Then, she recited aloud, "People can be kind; let your kindness be a little bit sharp!"

This was the maxim Zhou Can bestowed upon her.

It was intended to aid her in navigating her familial entanglements.

"I got it. Thank you for trying your best to help me."

She stood up to escort Zhou Can out.

No romantic undercurrents flowed between them; their interaction was purely amicable.

It was precisely this platonic nature that deepened her gratitude towards Zhou Can.

Had Zhou Can harbored ulterior motives, perhaps concerning her physically, his assistance, no matter how profound, would have merely been a calculated transaction.

"The mastermind behind the scenes will likely be urgently trying to contact you to testify these days. Stay calm, remember what I told you, and collect the money before doing anything."

Zhou Can reiterated his advice before departing, still harboring a trace of apprehension.

"Got it! Understood!"

She affirmed with a serious nod.

As he left, Zhou Can instructed her not to see him off and even thoughtfully secured the security door for her.

Such considerate gestures were ample reason for her trust in Zhou Can to deepen further.

...

In the ensuing days, Zhou Can dedicated his post-work hours to tirelessly performing surgeries within the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department, adeptly resolving one complex case after another. His remarkable success even prompted Director Xue Yan to engage the hospital’s publicity department for widespread public advertising.

The singular objective was to subtly unsettle the Third Hospital.

The greater the prominence and achievements of the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department at Tuya Hospital, the more agitated the Third Hospital would inevitably become.

"Xiao Zhou, the graduate entrance exam results are out, check your scores."

In the customary rhythm of his workday, Zhou Can emerged from the operating room just as Director Lou informed him to verify his examination results.

Zhou Can had long anticipated enhancing his academic credentials.

Upon checking his score with palpable excitement, he was astonished to discover he had achieved a remarkable 427 points. In his estimation, merely surpassing 350 points would have constituted a significant triumph.

With such an exceptional score, his admission was virtually guaranteed.

Even should the subsequent interview prove unsuccessful, the hospital would likely devise a means to accommodate him. The interview itself was not even a cause for concern.

"It seems my abilities have truly improved significantly!"

After regaining his composure, he undertook a self-assessment.

Over the preceding years, he had diligently immersed himself in theoretical studies and relentlessly honed his practical skills. While a single day or two might not yield noticeable progress, the cumulative impact of sustained effort across years was undeniably substantial.

Numerous knowledge gaps had previously existed.

Now, each of them had been effectively addressed.

Furthermore, his practical proficiencies had ascended to the level of an attending physician, which, in turn, facilitated a more profound comprehension of theoretical knowledge.

Consequently, achieving a score exceeding four hundred was entirely understandable.

After conveying his score to Director Lou, the latter exhibited even greater elation than Zhou Can himself. After all, Zhou Can had become an indispensable asset to the Emergency Department, long regarded as its representative figure in their training endeavors.

Possessing only a bachelor’s degree in this era where qualifications reigned supreme, it was somewhat insufficient.

While many of Tuya’s deans and vice-deans might seem to possess only bachelor’s degrees, this is largely due to their advanced age, often exceeding fifty years. As a young man, Zhou Can naturally cannot measure up to their years of experience.

At present, the hospital’s recruitment of young doctors almost universally demands a master’s degree as the absolute minimum qualification.

It’s plausible that these requirements will be elevated even further in the times to come.

After all, a significant number of individuals embark on graduate studies annually, with many succeeding in their pursuits. A mere two to three decades ago, individuals with university degrees were considered rare treasures. Today, they are commonplace, found in abundance everywhere you look.

It might well be that in another ten or twenty years, those holding master’s degrees will be perceived as ordinarily as present-day university graduates.

For Zhou Can to attain higher achievements, adapting to the prevailing norms of society becomes essential.

He currently lacks the power to shift the entire societal tide.

Admittedly, the medical field is witnessing a growing advocacy to move beyond a strict focus on credentials alone. In the future, it’s conceivable that individuals demonstrating potent abilities, even without formal degrees, might find opportunities for equitable competition.

However, this remains merely a potential development, not a certainty.
