Zhou Can is overwhelmed with his current surgical duties. Du Leng interrupts Zhou Can and his colleagues during lunch to personally invite them to his wedding with Ma Xiaolan, scheduled for the 9th of next month at the Vienna Hotel.

As they spoke, Du Leng took out a stack of beautifully prepared invitations from his pocket.

He only knew Zhou Can and Ma Xiaolan and wasn’t familiar with the other team members. To avoid sending the wrong invitation, he directly asked Ma Xiaolan to distribute them to everyone.

Each invitation had the name of the invited person written on it.

It was evident that Du Leng and Ma Xiaolan put a lot of thought into inviting everyone to the wedding.

"Is the wedding starting at eleven in the morning?"

"Yes!"

"Alright, I’ll make sure to ask for leave from the department in advance and come to congratulate you."

Zhou Can immediately expressed his intention to attend the banquet.

The main guests were also the leaders of his team. Du Leng personally came to deliver the invitation, showing a sincerity toward Zhou Can.

"Thank you, thank you!"

Du Leng repeatedly thanked Zhou Can.

It’s a huge gesture of tolerance that Zhou Can could forgive past grievances and attend his and Ma Xiaolan’s wedding.

Previously, Du Leng used quite a few underhanded tactics against Zhou Can, constantly suppressing him.

If it were someone narrow-minded, they definitely wouldn’t have any interaction with Du Leng.

With Zhou Can declaring his intention, others also expressed their willingness to come and celebrate if they could get leave.

"I heard Dr. Du is working on a digital surgery project. It’s developing quite nicely, isn’t it?"

Zhou Can was not solely focused on surgery and paid attention to outside matters.

With Director Xie’s support in the General Surgery Department, Du Leng established Tuya Hospital’s first digital operating room. It’s now said to be in the clinical trial phase.

Digital surgery itself is also a major development trend; the idea is very advanced.

With the rapid growth of artificial intelligence, digital surgery has made crucial progress from conception to clinical trials.

I’ve heard that if this project develops well, it could directly integrate top nationwide medical talents, conducting online surgeries, and online diagnoses in the future. For instance, Zhou Can, being a doctor at Tuya Hospital, could be sent to Provincial People’s Hospital or Xinxiang Hospital for consultations, which is easier due to the relatively short distance.

If he were to be sent outside the province, or even to the imperial capital or Shanghai for consultations, it would be nearly impossible.

Due to the long distances, even flying back and forth would take most of the day.

With digital surgery, if Renhe Hospital in the imperial capital or any hospital encounters a challenging case, especially one that Zhou Can is skilled at, they could invite him for online technical support.

Zhou Can could assist patients thousands of miles away from his office at Tuya Hospital.

Thus, digital surgery is regarded as a significant development trend.

Similarly, online diagnosis could be conducted by remotely reviewing images, examining the patient’s tests, providing a direct diagnosis.

Don’t underestimate the convenience brought by online diagnosis.

In the future, if patients have chronic illnesses, they could directly schedule an online consultation with a doctor.

Doctors could prescribe tests for the patient, who would complete the tests and upload them to the platform for review and diagnosis. If hospitalization is needed, they could proceed, or simply get prescribed medication for home use, with the option of mail service for delivery.

If surgery is needed, patients could choose a hospital with better hardware conditions nearby for the procedure online.

The prospects of digital surgery are extremely broad.

It goes beyond merely offering online surgeries and diagnoses.

Surgery could be fully digitized.

Even more precise than manual surgery.

In fact, if it’s a common ailment, a computer could directly diagnose, prescribe, or perform the surgery.

At that point, a wave of job losses among medical staff could ensue.

For example, the increasingly sophisticated technology of self-driving vehicles. Many believed that drivers were irreplaceable, and now? With the expanding implementation of automated driving, in the foreseeable future, driving might become a thing of the past.

People no longer need to know how to drive; they simply interact with the screen, set the destination, and the car delivers the owner safely.

It can even park automatically.

After finishing business or clocking out, the owner won’t need to navigate the dark parking garage; one-click calling will summon the car to them.

Digitization and artificial intelligence are major development trends of the era.

An invisible high-tech revolution is quietly taking place.

Previously, saving and withdrawing money required queues at the bank. Now? Mobile payments have revolutionized the banking industry, forcing banks to continuously enhance their services.

The era of unpleasant faces, difficult transactions, begging for any service at the bank is long gone.

"Dr. Zhou, are you also interested in this? The progress has been pretty smooth, and if all goes well, Tuya Hospital’s clinical work will soon thrive with digital and manual surgeries."

When Du Leng said this, he seemed extremely confident.

Compared to his previous arrogance, he seemed much more grounded this time.

"Did you know? Abroad, they’ve already initiated digital medical services, entering the final clinical trial stage. When that time comes, the era of prohibitive medical costs abroad will be over. Our country should seize this opportunity too and not fall behind."

For the first time, Du Leng showed patriotic sentiment.

Preventing our country from lagging in digital medical services is patriotism.

"I didn’t know that. If you really could establish the nation’s first digital medical room, it would be a tremendous contribution. Keep at it."

Zhou Can genuinely supported Du Leng.

Unrelated to personal grudges.

National interests should take precedence over personal feuds.

"Alright, I have things to do, so I won’t disturb you anymore. On the wedding day, Xiaolan and I will eagerly await your arrival."

After handing out the invitations, Du Leng bid farewell and left.

Before leaving, he didn’t forget to exchange greetings with Ma Xiaolan and agreed to meet after work.

It was apparent that the couple was very much in love.

...

Upon returning home from work, Zhou Can discussed Ma Xiaolan’s wedding with Su Qianqian. Hearing about it, her eyes revealed deep envy.

His wedding plans with her had been ongoing for a long time, with all preparations in place.

Now it’s just a matter of Zhou Can finding time to visit her hometown and propose.

Unfortunately, Zhou Can had been incredibly busy, and Su Qianqian had consistently been supportive and considerate, never pressuring him about this matter.

Knowing his colleague was getting married now, she certainly wanted to become Zhou Can’s wife sooner.

A girlfriend and a wife are definitely different.

Even going back to the ancient days when men could have multiple wives, the primary wife held an irreplaceable sacred status.

For women, the most desired thing is a sense of security.

Zhou Can recognized her feelings, felt guilty as the matter dragged on.

Holding her close, he gently said, "Qianqian, could you give me a little more time? Recently, Cardiothoracic Surgery has been overwhelmingly busy. Its newfound status can’t afford any mistakes. Many complex cases require my assistance in diagnosis and surgery. Dad Hu Kan entrusted the Cardiothoracic Surgery to me and Director Xue Yan; I must honor that commitment."

"Recently the Emergency Department’s operating room faced major issues, warranting restructuring and improvement of surgical quality. If I took a few days off, Dr. Xu would face immense pressure, and the department’s surgical operations would suffer. Give me another two or three months, and then I’ll take four days off to accompany you to your hometown and settle the wedding. Is that alright?"

Zhou Can consulted with her.

"I understand and am willing to wait. Focus on your work! If it becomes untenable, we’ll adapt. I’ll call my uncle and aunt to explain; I’m sure they’ll understand too."

Su Qianqian pressed her face to his chest, snuggling in closely.

Having found such an excellent girlfriend was Zhou Can’s fortune. However, he too had sacrificed a lot for Su Qianqian.

Back then, she suffered from kidney disease, a condition most men shy away from marrying into.
