When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chapter 214: Chapter 215: Little Benefactor, I Have Come to Repay Your Kindness!

When the topic of work came up, the mood became heavy.

Luo Zhou looked at Chen Cang, “Actually, what I’m thinking is to stay in Anyang City with Jiajia, and besides, Jiajia has not yet graduated. I’m hoping to find a job to start with, and keep an eye out for opportunities as we move along.”

Dong Jia comforted, “I think it’s also okay to go to the surrounding counties and cities. The salary is higher there, and the hospitals really value us after we arrive.”

“Unlike Anyang, as the capital of Dongyang Province, there’s a huge influx of graduates every year. Local hospitals don’t value us at all, and the selection process is not necessarily fair and just. It’s all about finding connections, pulling strings, paying for positions… a complete mess smothered in corruption.”

Chen Cang nodded, that was indeed the reality. As a central city in Dongyang Province, its development was already a bit behind.

This backwardness was not only in terms of slow economic development but also a lag in systems and mindsets.

Luo Zhou chuckled, “It’s also interesting when you think about it. Those impressive cities are all attracting talent, offering a bunch of incentives for undergraduates, even relocation allowances. But our great Anyang is so poor it’s almost last, without any worry. It really is domineering. It’s this late and still no news; does the city really not fear losing all its talent?”

Dong Jia rolled her eyes at Luo Zhou, “You’re the one obsessing over Anyang. Anyone with capability has already left. Who would stay in this dump? Your senior graduated last year and went to Anyang Central Hospital, a tier-three hospital, barely making six thousand a month. It’s okay if you’re not married, but what can you do with that if you are?”

Chen Cang nodded, “If there’s an opportunity, it’s better to go out. Graduates seeking higher education in coastal cities like Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Guangzhou, those are great places. Shenzhen doesn’t have a medical university, so their talent entirely depends on recruitment. I’ve heard some seniors who went there got pretty good benefits, with starting annual salaries over 200,000 right off the bat.”

Luo Zhou scratched his head, “Cang Er, you know me, I’m not one for great ambitions. A stable job, staying not far from home, being able to accompany Jiajia—that’s good enough for me.”

“Also, my parents and Jiajia’s are getting older, too. They’d feel more at ease with me in Anyang, and if something came up, like an illness, I could help out. If I were to leave, I wouldn’t be comfortable with their situation.”

Dong Jia glanced at Luo Zhou, cursing with her mouth, but her heart was sweet.

Luo Zhou continued, “This weekend, there’s a big recruitment fair at our school. Quite a few large tier-three hospitals from Anyang City are offering contract positions. I’m going to give it a try.”

Chen Cang nodded, “Yeah, even the provincial second hospital where I work has shifted to record-based employment. The treatment for contract workers is not bad. In our hospital’s general surgery department, a contract worker, after passing the probation period and getting prescription rights, can make seven or eight thousand a month including bonuses.”

Chen Cang was referring to Zhou Xiaodong. Wang Yong earned more than Zhou Xiaodong because the emergency surgeries were frequent; he managed patients for Chen Cang, and together they performed dozens of operations a month. If last month’s bonuses were counted, the figure could exceed ten thousand. However, knowing the hospital’s character, it would probably take months before any bonuses were handed out.

Luo Zhou smiled, “Provincial second hospital is still a provincial tier-three, after all. Among the dozens of tier-three hospitals big and small in Anyang City, to get into the top ten, the competition must be tough.”

Upon hearing this, Dong Jia became unreceptive, “Luo Zhou, I’ll come with you when the time comes. I’ll print out fifty copies of your resume. If you don’t give them all out, you’re not allowed to leave!”

Her words made everyone laugh.

After leaving the restaurant, Luo Zhou suddenly asked, “Cang Er, why don’t you come to my dorm and sit for a while? Let’s rest our feet; the afternoon is still young.”

Chen Cang nodded and asked, “Are there any people in the dorm?”

Luo Zhou, “Basically, everyone has moved out. I haven’t because Jiajia is still in her dorm, but they’re all around the campus. We can get together tonight.”

Chen Cang hummed a response.

Back when Chen Cang was in class, he got along well with everyone. After all, there weren’t many boys in the medical school, so they all got on pretty well, playing games and basketball together occasionally.

The dormitory supervisor, Auntie, had just finished her meal and was walking by the glass door of the dormitory building to aid her digestion when she noticed Luo Zhou bringing Chen Cang over.

She was suddenly stunned, “Eh? Aren’t you that boy? What’s your name again…?”

Chen Cang laughed, “Auntie, you still remember me?”

Auntie couldn’t help but smile, “How could I forget? You guys from that dorm often forgot your keys and came to borrow from me; I remember each and every one of you clearly.”

“But it’s been a few years since I’ve seen you, have you started working?”

Chen Cang nodded with a smile, “Yeah, I’ve started working.”

Auntie nodded with satisfaction, “Not bad, Auntie always thought highly of you.”

Luo Zhou sighed, “Auntie, in all these years you haven’t changed a bit, still judging people by their looks!”

The aunt burst into laughter, “I may not have any other skills, but I sure remember faces well! Are you planning to stay even after graduation, waiting for me to kick you out?”

The school dormitory didn’t allow just anyone in, and this dormitory caretaker aunt was like a pair of discerning eyes—seemingly inconspicuous, she could pick out anyone she hadn’t seen before.

Luo Zhou was supposed to move out of the dormitory after graduation, but he had asked Guan Wei to put in a good word for him, which delayed the move a bit.

After all, renting a place outside was quite expensive, so he figured he’d wait until he got a job.

When he returned to the dormitory, no one was there except for his bed which still had a quilt on it, and the rest of the place was quite tidy.

The weather was a bit hot, so Luo Zhou stripped off his T-shirt, bared his torso, and said, “Cang Er, you go sleep on my bed for a while.”

Chen Cang smiled, “No need, I’m not tired.”

Luo Zhou laughed, “Well then… how about we play a round? Are you still gaming?”

As he spoke, Luo Zhou immediately opened LoL and logged in, with the familiar ‘weng’ sound starting up.

Chen Cang smiled, “You go ahead, I’ll watch you play.”

The familiar college days, they were spent just like this.

…

…

In the afternoon, Chen Cang started with class assignments, according to the specialty training hospitals, since everyone was usually in the hospital for specialized training, this made class management more convenient.

There were quite a few specialty training hospitals for Dongyang Medical University’s graduates this year, and only about thirty trainees were assigned to the Second Provincial Hospital.

A small class of just over thirty people was indeed exquisite.

Twenty girls and ten boys.

However… Chen Cang suddenly noticed the chubby guy sitting beside him who was giving him a strange smile seemed familiar.

“Classmate… no grudges, no hatreds, why are you staring at me?” Chen Cang held back for a long time, but he couldn’t stand it anymore, stared at the plump head next to him, and said seriously.

Qian Lin was startled at first, then burst into laughter, “My benefactor, my name is Qian Lin. To be honest, I’m here to repay a kindness!”

Chen Cang was dumbfounded.

When others repay a kindness, they turn into a fair young lady—what kind of repayment is yours, more like a visit for vengeance, right?

If you’re here to repay a kindness with your dignified appearance, you’re definitely looking for a high-class lady.

But…

If he really was here to repay a kindness, I couldn’t afford to miss out, right?

Chen Cang racked his brain trying to remember, had he ever given a steamed bun to a homeless kid? Or saved a child with an intellectual disability in the hospital.

But he just couldn’t link himself with this 190-pound man.

Still, Chen Cang pondered for a while, perhaps he really did save him?

Looking at his current attire, he must have come into some money; he couldn’t waste any opportunities. What if it was a chance given by the heavens?

With this in mind, Chen Cang still said earnestly, “Just give me the cash value!”
