Xiao Tianhua left, leaving behind three stacks of money.

Quick and clean!

Chen Cang had two new things in his hand: thirty thousand yuan and Xiao Tianhua’s contact information in his phone, along with WeChat.

Zhang Zhixin took a deep breath!

It was already past six o’clock; the summer days were long, and even though it wasn’t dark yet, dusk had set in.

The day’s events left him feeling somewhat exhausted at heart.

Looking at the thirty thousand yuan in Chen Gang’s hand.

Zhang Zhixin smiled and said, “Making a fortune, huh?!”

Chen Cang smiled without saying a word. He could tell that, actually… the worry was apparent between Zhang Zhixin’s brows, and his smile clearly carried a hint of distress.

Chen Cang couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Zhang, what’s wrong?”

Zhang Zhixin took a deep breath, smacked his lips, and said, “Let’s go, let’s eat. We’ll talk over dinner.”

The two of them got ready and headed to the night market.

The weather in August was perfect for outdoor barbecue and beer.

But because of the serious air pollution in Anyang City, open-air barbecues were basically banned and had to be cooked indoors before being served.

It has to be said, this method was actually quite good!

Just like how farting inside your trousers wouldn’t let the smell disperse into the air, right?!?

Could it be that cooking indoors somehow made the smoke stay inside?

Of course, Chen Cang didn’t understand this aspect and was just voicing a complaint.

At seven o’clock, the night market wasn’t bustling yet and was still in the warm-up phase, with very few people around.

Zhang the boss had money, and he led Chen Cang straight to the seafood stall.

It was obvious that Zhang the boss was a regular, immediately ordering a pile of oysters, chives, lamb kidneys, and crawfish.

Chen Cang also picked up on some tricks!

Zhang the boss didn’t look at prices or types when ordering; he only cared about whether the food was potent in boosting virility and kidney health!

After two bottles of beer and seven or eight oysters, the two of them became more talkative.

Zhang Zhixin laughed and said, “Chen, I really didn’t expect you to have this skill!”

Chen Cang nodded: “Yeah, I didn’t expect it either.”

Zhang Zhixin immediately stiffened his smile and asked, “What do you mean?”

Chen Cang replied, “This is actually a talent, something you can’t learn. I feel like I was born with it.”

Zhang Zhixin immediately got heated, and Chen Cang ended up being poured another bottle.

Chen Cang rarely smoked and occasionally drank. He could handle five or six bottles of beer, or seven to eight ounces of liquor.

While he was studying, it was okay, but after graduating and starting work, Old Chen often dragged him to meetings where drinking was involved.

Surgeons generally drank; maybe it was because there were a lot of men, and it wasn’t lively without a bit of alcohol.

After a few drinks, Zhang Zhixin became more talkative.

Especially when it came to the troublesome matters in the department, Zhang Youfu was even more foul-mouthed.

Chen Cang became curious. Logically speaking, Zhang Zhixin wasn’t short of money, so why didn’t he resign?

“Teacher Zhang, why don’t you resign? With so much money to be made outside, why hang around in the hospital every day? It’s tiring and you don’t earn much!” Chen Cang asked curiously.

Zhang Zhixin suddenly looked at Chen Cang with a smile: “Little Chen, you are still too young.”

“Let me tell you why I don’t resign!”

“I obtained my medical doctorate while on the job, not full-time. That means I am recognized as having a doctorate by my current employer, but if I were to bring that part-time doctorate degree to another hospital, they might not acknowledge it.”

“The importance of a doctorate degree in a hospital is self-explanatory. I’m already at an associate senior title, while old Chen is still at an intermediate title. That’s the difference. I’m not boasting about how great I am, but I’m telling you, when you’re playing the system, you must follow the rules of the system.”

“In this world, there are several classes of people! Who are the first class? Those who can break old rules and set new ones. They are the first class!

And the second class are the controllers of the rules. They can use the rules to their advantage and even modify some of the minor rules.”

“As for the third class? They are the ones who can survive within the rules, adapt exceptionally well to them, and advance quickly. In this lifetime, I lack extraordinary talent and immense power, so the best I can do is to be a third- class person.”

After finishing, Zhang Zhixin didn’t continue but added, “That being said, without the Provincial Second Hospital, there would be no Zhixin Plastic Surgery Hospital. As a top to hospital in Dongyang Province, that’s my official background, which is trustworthy when spoken.”

“Those bosses, if they didn’t value my doctoral degree from the Provincial Second Hospital and my decent skills, would they invest in me? They are mainly interested in my official background. That’s one reason; what’s the second?”

“The second reason is I have used the Provincial Second Hospital’s platform to develop my own connections, channels, funds, etc. Without this platform, your social network would be very simplistic.”

“So, whatever you do, being a doctor is truly a great platform. For accumulating connections, expanding channels, and so on, it’s definitely a great profession. The Provincial Second Hospital, as a tier-three top-level hospital, is enough for you to build your resources until you’re 40!”

“However, while you have the ability, which is good, you shouldn’t aim too high, after all… the resources you can utilize are your real resources. Even if you went to Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou, those resources wouldn’t necessarily become yours!”

Chen Cang, who had only recently entered society, was not very familiar with many nuances of human relationships, but Zhang Zhixin’s words greatly broadened his perspective.

Latter on, after drinking four or five bottles between them and deciding not to drink anymore, they started to chat over the small crayfish.

After a while, Zhang Zhixin finally said, “Little Chen, I really owe you one this time, truly, I toast to you, brother!”

After clinking glasses, Zhang Zhixin continued, “But… this surgery is not so simple, which is why I didn’t immediately agree to help Xiao Tianhua.”

“Your plan is flawless, a fantastic plan, and likewise, your design is also a top­notch choice, nothing short of perfect.”

“But… the problem is exactly that, it’s too perfect, beyond my level… Not only can’t I meet it, but the doctors at our hospital can’t either. We need to bring in some experts to do it.”

Chen Cang was taken aback: “You’re calling in Wang Chen?”

Zhang Zhixin snorted: “That guy, I reckon it’s doubtful. Wang Chen… although he has a reputation, precisely because of this, he’s extremely cautious with his feathers, and won’t touch anything that might harm his reputation.”

“Besides, Wang Chen is 49 this year, getting older, and it’s time for him to rest on his laurels. At this point, undertaking a repair surgery for a botched operation that he is uncertain of is definitely a slap in the face; he wouldn’t come to do it, so… we need to invite a few specialists.”

Chen Cang nodded, as it was just as Zhang Zhixin had said; the older and more established doctors with a reputation were even less willing to attract controversy.

“So… what do we do?” Chen Cang asked.

Zhang Zhixin: “I want to try to recruit some local experts, but… I might not be able to persuade them, after all… colleagues can be competitors, and we’re a private entity, not a public hospital. There’s more exchange in public hospitals. In a place as small as Anyang City, with so many plastic surgery hospitals around, who would look for trouble without reason?”

Chen Cang responded with an ‘oh’, suddenly recalling the plastic surgery doctors he met last time at Zheng Guotan’s house, thoughtfully saying, “I do know a few people, but… I’m not sure how professional they are…”

Zhang Zhixin smiled without dampening Chen Gang’s spirit, knowing the kind of people he could meet: “Little Chen, don’t worry about it, I’ll personally go find them tomorrow.”

“Let me tell you, in Anyang City’s field of plastic surgery, there are several experts: Dongda First Hospital’s Qin Xiang, Xiya Plastic Surgery Hospital’s Yang Tao, and the sister duo from Annie Plastic Surgery, Annie and An Jing…” “If we can get help from these people… this task will be much easier!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Cang thought, hey, why do those names sound familiar?
