My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 1458 - 583: The Era of Digital Surgery Arrives, the Flawless Bride

It’s just that Zhou Can’s time and energy are limited. Fighting on three fronts at Pediatric, Cardiothoracic Surgery, and the Emergency Department has already left him physically and mentally exhausted. There’s really no way he can open up another new battlefield.

Unless in the future he can train up a mature surgical team, so he can pull himself out of routine emergency surgeries and focus specially on tackling all kinds of difficult and complicated cases.

By then, let alone fighting on four fronts, even having the whole department in action wouldn’t be a problem.

This is also one of the ideals Zhou Can has set for himself.

The group went to the cafeteria to eat.

Ma Xiaolan was holding her phone, seemingly chatting with someone by text.

Seeing the blissful smile all over her face, you could guess it with your toes—she was definitely whispering sweet nothings with her lover.

It really is amazing when you think about it: everything in this world has its counter.

The playboy Du Leng actually got completely held in check by her.

At least given Du Leng’s habit of "play and dump," the fact that he has kept this relationship with Ma Xiaolan going for so long is already very unbelievable. What unique trick Ma Xiaolan used to keep him, nobody knows.

Some women are good at serving a man, some can resonate with their boyfriend on a soul level, some are virtuous and good at running a household... In short, if a woman can hold on to a man’s heart, she must have at least one trait that truly moves him.

In terms of looks, Ma Xiaolan is pretty decent, but she’s far from those peerless beauties like Su Qianqian and Yang Chan.

As for temperament, she’s also far inferior to people like Jiang Wei and Su Qianqian.

That mix of competence, confidence, erudition, and other qualities that naturally radiates from Jiang Wei as a strong career woman really adds a lot of points to her. In Zhou Can’s eyes, Jiang Wei is definitely one of those outstanding girls with high looks and top-notch temperament.

A person’s temperament actually depends on many aspects.

For example, a street vendor will, eight or nine times out of ten, carry a stink of money about him. The impression he gives is shrewd and crafty.

A teacher, especially a primary, middle, or high school teacher, is often full of scholarly air, looking refined and almost sacred.

From this it’s not hard to see that a person’s temperament is mainly cultivated bit by bit through their daily lifestyle. In addition, it’s also closely related to their financial resources, knowledge, way of thinking, and personality.

Ma Xiaolan has relatively good looks and average temperament, yet it’s precisely this kind of woman who has firmly tied Du Leng down.

They were in the middle of eating when a figure quickly walked over from the entrance on the second floor of the cafeteria.

He walked straight to their table and greeted them with a smile, "Hi, everyone!"

The newcomer was no one else but Du Leng.

After not seeing him for quite a while, Du Leng’s mental outlook had changed a lot.

His whole person radiated a powerful confidence, and his eyes were full of light.

"Hello!"

As the leader, even though Zhou Can and Du Leng had clashed in the past, at this moment he still had to show some respect for Buddha if not for the monk. For Ma Xiaolan’s sake, he was fairly polite to Du Leng.

"I know you’re all Xiaolan’s closest colleagues. Xiaolan and I are planning to get married on the 9th of next month. We chose that day because it has the meaning of lasting long and forever. I’m rudely dropping in to invite you to our wedding. Would that be okay?"

Du Leng wasn’t familiar with the people on Zhou Can’s team.

Inviting them to the wedding was indeed rather presumptuous.

Because attending a wedding definitely means giving a gift of cash; even if it’s just two hundred yuan, that’s already a favor.

Normally, a meal costs between fifteen and thirty yuan.

Two hundred yuan is enough for seven or eight meals.

And on top of that, attending their wedding would mean taking time out to go there.

If you’re not relatives or close friends, most people really wouldn’t go ask for that kind of trouble.

"You’re holding the wedding so soon! Xiaolan, congratulations!"

Qiao Yu was the first to offer her blessings to Ma Xiaolan after hearing the news.

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

The others also chimed in with their blessings.

That message Ma Xiaolan had just sent to Du Leng was probably asking him to come personally and invite everyone to the wedding. That would seem more sincere.

She definitely knew that there had been bad blood between Du Leng and Zhou Can.

It was only over the last two or three years, as they each developed on their own paths, that the tension between them eased.

Of course, with Zhou Can’s current strength and powerful network, even if Du Leng weren’t just a PhD but a postdoc, he still wouldn’t be able to act high and mighty in front of Zhou Can.

Academic degrees are important, but ability and connections are even more important.

Within the hospital, Du Leng’s network is probably quite average; he’s only relatively close to Director Xie of General Surgery. In the past, a few hospital leaders were quite fond of him.

Later they discovered that Du Leng had eyes higher than his skills, his clinical level was very mediocre, and he liked to put on airs with his overseas doctorate, constantly showing off and flaunting his superiority. The leaders never said anything out loud, but in their hearts they’d already slapped a cold label on him.

One by one they became utterly disappointed in him and quickly pushed him to the margins.

"The 9th of next month, right? Where will the wedding be held?"

Zhou Can asked.

He had already stopped eating.

Talking to someone while chewing food is a very impolite behavior. It only makes you look uncultured and makes it easy for others to look down on you.

Especially for people spoiled by their parents since childhood, who like to make weird "smacking" noises when they eat. The person themselves might not feel anything is wrong. At home, out of tolerance and love, parents also don’t see a problem.

But when eating with colleagues, leaders, or friends, making strange noises while eating is very likely to cause disgust.

"Xiaolan and I know you’re all very busy, so in order to better welcome you, we deliberately chose the Vienna Hotel not far from the hospital as the wedding venue. Xiaolan told me she sees you as her most important friends and hopes to receive your blessings on the wedding day. If possible, we hope you’ll all do us the honor of coming over then for a glass of wedding wine."
