Chapter 158: The food of the rich comes from the bones of the poor

“Teacher Zhang, I’m fine! I’m just acting spoiled. Before, I didn’t have a medical license, so I had to suppress myself so much. I could only take it even if others bullied me. But now that I have a medical license, my body can’t keep up!” Although Chen Qifa said that he was fine, only he knew the bitterness in his heart. He knew that his golden age to perform surgeries had already passed.

Time would never wait for anyone. Chen Qifa was beginning to get old.

Zhang Fan couldn’t say anything. All he could do was accompany Chen Qifa in silence. This matter would require Chen Qifa to improve his mentality by himself. Others wouldn’t be of much help.

Although it was now past 11 p.m., Ma Wentao was still waiting in his office for Zhang Fan to finish the surgery. It wasn’t that he was worried, but rather that he needed to wait to discuss things with Zhang Fan. Ma Wentao wouldn’t be able to offer Zhang Fan the same amount of money as last time. Ma Wentao was charging 10,000 yuan for each surgery for one finger, which meant that the three finger surgeries for this patient would cost 30,000 yuan! The more money surgeries brought in, the more Ma Wentao valued Zhang Fan.

If Ma Wentao only gave Zhang Fan 1,000 yuan for this surgery, he figured that Zhang Fan would likely block his phone number. Ma Wentao drank some tea while wondering to himself how much money he should give Zhang Fan for this time. As Ma Wentao’s hospital’s business slowly improved, he kept feeling prouder and prouder of his original decision to open a hospital. He was confident that he had taken the correct path. He was also extremely proud of his own ability in judging others’ character and talent.

As long as he continued to run his hospital well in his own style, it would slowly develop, and he would one day rise to the top of the Chinese business field. Ma Wentao became more and more excited as he imagined all this!

Zhang Fan finally arrived at Ma Wentao’s office. Ma Wentao hurriedly had Zhang Fan take a seat and rest while pouring some tea for him.

“Right now, there’s still not enough surgeries here. You need to improve on attracting surgery patients. Once the number of surgeries increases, I’ll be able to teach Director Chen and Li Liang to be able to independently perform limb replantation surgeries!” Zhang Fan said while sipping on his tea. For this type of surgery, just one success would be enough for others to hear about the reputation of Ma Wentao’s hospital. This hospital would surely start receiving more and more limb replantation surgery patients in the future.

“Alright, I’ll make sure that my employees often visit the local hospitals to ask them for limb replantation surgery patients. Here’s your surgery fee for today. Also, you don’t need to give any portion of this money to Director Chen and Li Liang. I’ve already negotiated their portion of the surgery fee with them. This is just for you,” Ma Wentao said proudly to Zhang Fan.

“Oh! How did you know that I split my money with Director Chen last time?” Zhang Fan was rather confused.

“Look at the ceiling. I installed many security cameras inside my hospital. This is so that my security room employees can notify the doctors immediately if anything happens to any of the patients. This is the newest and most advanced technology!”

“Are you certain that it’s not in order to invade our privacy or spy on us doctors? Let me tell you, don’t do that. Everyone won’t like that.” Zhang Fan was speaking quite directly since he was now familiar with Ma Wentao.

“I’m not that dirty!” Ma Wentao said angrily.

“Alright, I won’t mention this anymore! I’m leaving now.” After Zhang Fan left Ma Wentao’s office, he checked and saw that he had received 3,000 yuan for the surgery. Although Ma Wentao had already given Chen Qifa and Li Liang their portions of the surgery fee, Zhang Fan still wanted to share his money with them. He went over to find the two, but this time, both absolutely refused to take any money from him.

“Teacher Zhang, President Ma has already given us our own portions of the surgery fee. There’s truly no need for you to give us anything!”

“That’s right, Brother Zhang. Please put your money away. This isn’t Kuake City. There’s no need to do this.”

“Alright then. I’ll be leaving now. Pay close attention to things here and call me if there’s anything.” Zhang Fan couldn’t help it.

Three days later, Dai Wengang was able to leave the intensive care unit and undergo transfer to a patient room in the neurosurgery department. He recovered quite well and showed constant improvement on a daily basis. However, he did have quite an obvious aftereffect from the brain damage. His mouth was now crooked, and the left side of his body was now paralyzed. Still, he had managed to survive, which was the fortunate part among all this misfortune.

Zhang Fan told Dai Wengang’s older brother that constant massages would be critically important because massages could help the patient’s blood circulation and aid in recovery. Dai Wengang’s older brother immediately hired two masseuses who would take turns in massaging Dai Wengang once every two hours. This was easy to afford because Dai Wengang was really rich.

Dai Wengang was also able to talk again now, although his words were a bit unclear due to his now crooked mouth. “Doctor Zang! Wunt to eet? Delishoos!” Dai Wengang was currently eating lobster when Zhang Fan checked up on him this morning. He was asking, “Doctor Zhang, want to eat? Delicious!”

Since Dai Wengang had high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, and high blood sugar, Zhang Fan had informed him that he couldn’t eat any red meat after the surgery, but Dai Wengang loved to eat meat, so his older brother had lots of fresh seafood flown directly to Chasu City instead!

Zhang Fan chuckled and shook his head before performing a regular checkup on Dai Wengang. Although Dai Wengang’s left side was still paralyzed, his muscles were slowly recovering as well. Ever since Dai Wengang recovered the ability to speak, Zhang Fan had never seen his wife or the brazen brother-in-law again. Dai Wengang had made them disappear forever!

Zhang Fan’s new apartment was now completely ready for moving in. It was on a high floor with good sunlight. The furniture that Shao Hua chose was all in burgundy color. Zhang Fan didn’t mind whatever color, and was fine with anything as long as her parents would be happy with it. Shao Hua’s mother had felt that this furniture was too expensive when buying it, but when she moved in, she no longer felt so, because the furniture really looked nice.

Although Zhang Fan was really busy, he always took the time to go to the sports school to perform checkups on the students once every two weeks. He had a busy life and a high-pressure job. Anyone who lived such a lifestyle would be in trouble without a hobby. Relaxing was something absolutely necessary in between work. Zhang Fan found it quite relaxing to watch the children of the sports school run around.

He would unconsciously smile foolishly at the sight. This was the best relaxation for him. He didn’t need to think about surgeries or mentally practice surgeries in his System. He could clear his mind. He didn’t need to think about a single thing. He could just idly watch the monkey-like children play around and train in sports.

Everyone would have their own method of relaxing. Zhang Fan’s method of relaxing was quite suitable for people like him who had to maintain high concentration for most of the time. While most people could achieve emptying their mind for a few minutes, very few people would be able to maintain an empty mind for half an hour. This process would be similar to how veteran monks would meditate.

Zhang Fan felt especially relaxed after this afternoon of checking up on the sports school students was finished. As he was leaving, the sports teacher Wu Yanchao came up to Zhang Fan. “Doctor Zhang, do you have any free time soon? One of my seniors would like you to treat his knee.”

“Sure thing. Call me when he comes. What’s the matter?”

“It’s an old injury. My senior was formerly a professional basketball player. It’s hard to find a professional sports medicine doctor here in the border province, however, Guli has recovered quite excellently since the time that you performed knee surgery on her. That’s why I recommended to my senior that he come find you.”

“Sure, no problem.”

Dai Wengang was discharged from Chasu City Hospital. He needed physical therapy in order to recover from his paralysis, but Chasu City Hospital’s medical equipment was too simple, and lacked the equipment for many physical therapy treatments. Zhang Fan also didn’t have the time to provide Dai Wengang with intensive one-on-one physical therapy. Dai Wengang was going to inland China to have physical therapy done. Physical therapy would take a long time. It was likely that it would take at least several years with his half-paralyzed condition.

After Dai Wengang was discharged, he tried to invite Zhang Fan to a meal, but the latter refused. Zhang Fan felt that there wouldn’t be any meaning to it. Dai Wengang had paid his medical fees properly, and Zhang Fan had treated him properly and successfully. Zhang Fan didn’t want to get involved too deeply with his patients.

Dai Wengang truly wanted to thank Zhang Fan even though he was unable to invite him to a meal. Dai Wengang’s older brother had seen how Zhang Fan acted. If it weren’t for how insistent Zhang Fan had been towards Dai Wengang’s wife, Dai Wengang would likely have died without receiving surgery in time. While Zhang Fan didn’t mind, Dai Wengang really minded.

In the end, he managed to invite Zhang Fan to a meal through Li Xiao. Zhang Fan had to give face to Li Xiao as this was a friendship he had established back when he was still an unknown doctor.

The meal took place at a high-class restaurant. Dai Wengang and his older brother acted as the hosts, while Li Xiao was also present. When Zhang Fan arrived, Dai Wengang’s older brother was at the restaurant entrance, waiting for him. Zhang Fan felt awkward about making a middle-aged man wait for him like this.

Zhang Fan hurriedly parked his car, greeted Dai Wengang’s brother, and entered the restaurant.

“Doctor Zang, tank you so moch for sawing my life! Dis is a smoll token of my tanks.” As the saying went, those who were crippled still enjoyed walking. Although Dai Wengang’s mouth was now crooked and his tongue didn’t work so well anymore, he really loved to talk a lot still. This was also because Zhang Fan had told him that he needed lots of practice to be able to talk normally again.

Li Xiao was also really happy. If Dai Wengang had really died, she would have likely lost a lot of money since she had just loaned 10 million yuan to Dai Wengang’s company. This time, Zhang Fan had indirectly helped her as well.

“Alright! Doctor Zhang is usually really busy. If it weren’t for the fact that I got acquainted with him a long time ago, I doubt that even I could have successfully invited him.”

Li Xiao explained this because she knew that people like Dai Wengang would really care about face, especially when the other party had lower social status. Li Xiao didn’t want Zhang Fan to antagonize someone without even realizing it, so she was protecting him.

“I truly am busy! Besides, I only did what I was supposed to. You’re being too polite. If my Superintendent Ouyang learned that I’m here at this meal today, I’ll get scolded again!”

“It’s fine. Doctor Zhang, rest assured, she won’t find out!” Dai Wengang’s older brother chuckled.

Since Zhang Fan had come already, he didn’t hold back with the eating. The restaurant’s food was quite good and included a lot of specialties from the border province. Zhang Fan wasn’t a drinker, and Dai Wengang couldn’t drink alcohol after his surgery, so the main topic of conversation during the meal was how Dai Wengang could improve his recovery.

After the meal was over, Dai Wengang’s older brother handed Zhang Fan a bank card. “Doctor Zhang, there’s some money in this card. Please accept it if you’re willing to give face to me and my brother!”

“Sigh! This really won’t do! It’s not an issue of giving face. This is something wrong. It makes me feel awkward. Last time, I only took two boxes of smokes, but my superintendent scolded me so severely. I truly can’t take this.” Zhang Fan adamantly refused.

Li Xiao saw that things were becoming awkward. Dai Wengang truly did want to repay Zhang Fan for saving his life, but Zhang Fan didn’t dare to take anything. She watched Zhang Fan and Dai Wengang’s older brother push the bank card around on the table for a while, and then suggested, “Forget about the bank card. Isn’t Doctor Zhang’s car getting old? How about you trade in his car and give him a new car? I recall that you have a brand-new Toyota FJ Cruiser?”

After saying that, Li Xiao then told Zhang Fan, “Just rest assured about driving that new car. If you don’t feel secure about it, I can have the car officially registered under my company’s ownership instead.”

Zhang Fan still didn’t really want to do this, but Li Xiao saw this, and declared, “Alright then, I’ll make the decision here. Register that new FJ Cruiser under my company’s ownership. You guys can take Zhang Fan’s car.”

Li Xiao understood Dai Wengang’s intentions as well as why Zhang Fan was having difficulty accepting it. This was just a car to her. She could deal with things this way so that neither side would feel so awkward, letting everyone be friends. Otherwise, it would definitely be difficult for Zhang Fan and Dai Wengang to see each other again!
