Zhou Can successfully requested three days of leave to finalize his marriage plans with his girlfriend. He then discussed a major departmental expansion with Director Lou, which would involve subdividing the Emergency Department and creating new specialized units. This plan, however, would inevitably encroach upon the interests of other departments, putting Zhou Can in a difficult position regarding leveraging his connections to push the initiative forward.

Dean Zhu is the helmsman of Tuya Hospital, always striving for excellence. Whether in terms of foresight or the boldness to push hospital reform, he’s very impressive. A couple of years ago, if not for the incidents involving the security chief, hospital assistant, vice dean of general affairs, and others, which implicated him, he would have been promoted long ago.

Later, although he kept his position as dean, he lost his last chance for a higher promotion in his life.

When the age comes, he can only retire from the dean position.

A new era brings new officials.

If a new dean takes office, no one knows which direction Tuya Hospital will head towards.

"Oh, right, there’s another matter. Our Emergency Department is preparing to choose two deputy department directors to meet the needs of the department. Old Han and Dr. Xu unanimously believe you can take on this great responsibility, and I personally also favor you. Now, let me hear your opinion."

At this moment, Director Lou proposing to have Zhou Can serve as the deputy director seems like an attempt at deep binding.

He wants to achieve deep binding, making Zhou Can and the Emergency Department a united interest.

Currently, due to Zhou Can’s exceptional abilities, he has many opportunities to choose from.

He can almost freely enter those powerful departments.

Moreover, since Zhou Can has developed well in multiple medical fields, whether in Cardiothoracic Surgery, Pediatrics, or any department in Internal Medicine, or General Surgery, he can develop extremely well.

This advantage is not something other outstanding doctors possess.

Humans, with many choices, sometimes naturally are unwilling to exhaust their efforts.

Just like Lü Bu in the Three Kingdoms era, with mighty martial power, if a lord doesn’t treat him well, he immediately switches to another.

"Thank you for your trust, along with Director Han and Dr. Xu. However, my current work is already very busy, and I’m afraid I don’t have the time to assist you in managing more department affairs, which would delay your major matters and fail to meet the expectations you and Director Han have for me!"

Zhou Can’s meaning in this statement is essentially advising Director Lou to choose someone else.

"Xiao Zhou, appointing you as the deputy director of this department doesn’t involve any interest entanglement, so you need not worry. Whether it’s me, Old Han, or your mentor Dr. Xu, we all hope that one day you’ll lead the Emergency Department to glory. Being a deputy director does indeed bring many miscellaneous tasks, but it will greatly enhance your personal leadership, management skills, and experience in handling major department affairs."

Director Lou has always been candid in speaking with Zhou Can.

He himself is straightforward and hasty, saying whatever is on his mind.

"If you wish to strive towards the dean position in the future, the deputy director is an unavoidable hurdle. Any hospital dean would require training from basic leadership roles. You can check the resume of past deans, except for a few external appointees, all locally selected deans, without exception, have risen from deputy department directors, department directors, major department directors, or deputy positions in administrative departments, to top positions like this."

"You are in a technical position, so competing for the dean’s role would have advantages over ordinary administrative roles. But there are also disadvantages, as technical personnel often focus solely on medical research, are not adept at handling hospital affairs, and tend to be rigid in management. Thus, when selecting key leadership positions, hospitals require technical personnel to have certain management experience."

This secret about selecting important hospital positions is difficult to understand without guidance.

Many veteran experts and professors have numerous titles, but even until retirement, they struggle to reach high positions. This is because such individuals are only suited for research, medical work, and teaching.

"Alright then! Since you’ve said so, it would seem pretentious to refuse further. I am willing to give my all to take on the role of deputy department director."

After listening to Director Lou’s analysis, Zhou Can immediately agreed and accepted Director Lou’s suggestion.

If not burdened with heavy responsibilities, who would risk their life for the future?

Zhou Can aims to accomplish great things in the medical field, and without hard work and striving, it is difficult to succeed.

Dr. Xu is the best example.

Even though he achieved great accomplishments in the medical field, a single medical accident dragged him into the abyss.

Zhou Can has grand ambitions; not only does he want to go further and reach the pinnacle in his medical journey, but he also wishes to improve the domestic medical standards and reduce the gap with developed countries.

Merely burying oneself in treating patients or researching medicine surely won’t suffice.

...

After leaving Director Lou’s office, Zhou Can called Director Xue Yan and Director Tang Fei to inform them about his leave. He then discussed the matter with Dr. Xu and properly handled the work handover.

The key thing was to clearly communicate how to treat some important patients he had at hand.

After finishing all this, he rarely got to leave work early.

He went home to accompany Su Qianqian for a trip to the mall. Since they planned to visit her family to propose, they couldn’t go empty-handed and needed to prepare some gifts.

Since learning that Zhou Can successfully got the leave and would accompany her back home tomorrow, she was ecstatic.

During the shopping trip, a constant smile appeared on her face.

Back home, she and Zhou Can cooked dinner together, rare as it was, and sat down to eat in harmony.

"Wei Fang, how is your grandmother’s health?"

"Thank you, boss and madam, for your care over the years, allowing me to own a home in the city and live comfortably with my grandmother. My grandmother’s health is still quite robust."
