Chapter 1503 - 606: Team Unity and Out-of-Town Patients
I believe that when Du Leng got accepted into a prestigious foreign university back in the day, he must have been high-spirited and full of ambition. Moreover, his family being able to support his overseas studies suggests they weren’t lacking in financial capability.A pride of heaven like him, after returning from studies, finding his pay and ideal income worlds apart, would definitely exacerbate Du Leng’s feelings of inferiority.
Class reunions in the past were truly about reminiscing and renewing friendships.
Today’s class reunions have long changed their nature, becoming all about competition among classmates and personal showcases.
Classmates who fare well are undoubtedly the core, even teachers strive to curry favor with these thriving students.
People are very realistic.
Curry favor with these successful people, and you can receive care and help when necessary.
"Why do you have to overdo it? Spend within your means! If you’re asking for leave due to miscarriage, I won’t approve it. If there’s nothing, head home early!"
Zhou Can rejected Ma Xiaolan’s request.
It could be said with certainty that if this leave were approved, Ma Xiaolan would definitely regret it in the future.
Seeing Zhou Can’s icy attitude, Ma Xiaolan turned pale, biting her lip as she left. As she departed, her gaze towards Zhou Can was filled with incomprehension and disappointment, and a sense of being heart-stricken.
Having followed Zhou Can for years, she never thought that after becoming pregnant, Zhou Can became no different from other leaders, with no kindness, not even approving a small seven-day leave.
Recalling how she got in through Ye Tingting’s connection when Zhou Can first formed the surgical team, working hard alongside him, making countless contributions. Yet now, she ended up like this.
She could not help but feel even more desolate.
"Why not approve Xiaolan’s leave?"
Qiao Yu quickly came in from outside, stopping Zhou Can with her inquiry.
She was also a veteran member of the team, holding a special status in Zhou Can’s eyes.
In this matter, Zhou Can’s lack of empathy evidently left Qiao Yu puzzled, even slightly angry.
A team’s cohesion core, besides interests, also heavily relies on the leader’s charisma. If a leader lacks care for their subordinates and is cool and heartless, it’s challenging to earn everyone’s loyalty.
"I don’t want her to regret it in the future."
Zhou Can merely explained in a flat tone.
It was only because it was Qiao Yu asking that he offered this much explanation. If it had been someone else, he wouldn’t have bothered.
Qiao Yu was quite familiar with Zhou Can’s character and conduct.
Upon hearing his words, she was momentarily stunned, deliberating for several seconds before a gleam of understanding appeared in her eyes. However, by the time she looked up again, Zhou Can had already walked away, leaving only a tall and upright silhouette.
She couldn’t help but smile slightly, realizing he was still the same unique individual, as deep as a still pond, unfathomable.
...
Zhou Can was making his rounds when Du Leng stormed into the Emergency Department’s patient area, glaring at Zhou Can with fierce eyes and angrily questioning, "Zhou, don’t bully others too much, what exactly did you do to my wife?"
Zhou Can bewilderedly countered, "What did I do to your wife? After the surgery, I directly told her to go home from work."
"Then why was she crying non-stop as soon as she got into my car? If you didn’t bully her, who did?" Du Leng was usually known for his gentlemanly demeanor in the workshop.
At this moment, he resembled an enraged lion, clearly showing his deep love for Ma Xiaolan.
Seeing his wife cry so sorrowfully, he naturally assumed Zhou Can had bullied Ma Xiaolan.
That’s why he hastily ran over to confront Zhou Can.
"She was crying very sadly?"
Zhou Can furrowed his brows slightly; arguing with Du Leng in the ward was definitely not an option, as the impact would be terribly negative.
"Wait for me in the duty room in the Emergency Department, and we can discuss this after I finish my rounds."
Du Leng’s eyes were blazing, and his cheeks stood out sharply as he gritted his teeth.
In the end, he decided to go to the duty room to wait for Zhou Can.
"Don’t think of running away. If you don’t give me an explanation today, I’ll take it all the way to the Health Bureau and make sure you pay for it. Bastard, already having so many women, yet you still make a move on my wife, you’re simply a beast."
Enraged, Du Leng walked out.
This statement left Zhou Can extremely embarrassed. Those patients and family members also gave Zhou Can odd looks.
"Jiang Wei, check the remaining two beds for me. I need to quickly finish the rounds and go explain to Du Leng. Otherwise, who knows what that lunatic might do."
Zhou Can really had no face left to face the strange looks of the ward’s patients and family members.
"Okay! Dr. Du is really something, scolding without knowing anything. You and Ma Xiaolan just have a normal colleague relationship, nothing’s going on, and both Qiao Yu and I can attest to that. If explaining doesn’t work, we can go together to testify."
Jiang Wei’s emotional intelligence and IQ were somewhat higher than Qiao Yu’s, and she had more worldly experience.
Facing such a sudden incident, she seamlessly offered an explanation to the patients and family members on Zhou Can’s behalf.
It also neutralized their strange and doubtful glances, restoring their normalcy when looking at Zhou Can.
Zhou Can appreciatively nodded at her before leaving the ward.
After finishing all the ward rounds, Zhou Can then headed to the duty room.
Du Leng was still sitting there with a stern face.
Someone had poured him a cup of water, but it sat untouched on the table.
"Zhou, I thought you were too guilty to show up! Why did you bully my wife? Explain clearly."
Seeing Zhou Can come in, Du Leng itched to rush forward and take action.
"Ridiculous, what’s there to feel guilty about? And nothing needs explaining to you. However, I do have a request for you."
