Chapter 313: Chapter 313 Seriously Consider
Before he could speak, Liu Zheng probably guessed what he wanted to say.
So he quickly figured out how he should respond.
But seeing the Dean hesitate and stumble over his words for so long without expressing his thoughts, Liu Zheng decided to speak up.
"Dean, are you asking me to work at your hospital?" Liu Zheng asked.
Originally, the Dean was considering how to best phrase his request, not expecting Liu Zheng to be so direct.
This genuinely surprised him.
But he quickly recovered, nodding fervently and eagerly.
"Yes, we really are in need of someone with your talents, and we truly hope you will join us. You can name your own salary and terms; I am likely to agree to anything. A talent like you is exactly what everyone is vying for," the Dean said.
It was clear he was excited.
But Liu Zheng had his own thoughts.
With all these directors around, for the Dean to speak to him in such terms showed just how much he valued him.
But Liu Zheng really didn’t want to work in a hospital.
So at that moment, he immediately spoke up.
"I am very grateful for your high regard, Dean, but I have been running my little clinic for quite some time now, and I’m not willing to leave it just like that. I hope you can understand," Liu Zheng said.
Liu Zheng had made himself very clear.
Although he knew that working at the hospital might offer better benefits, more money, and more opportunities for advancement,
he still had his own ideas.
Especially in such a situation, he hoped to stay close to his neighbors, so they could find him if they needed anything.
If money and fame were really what he valued most, he could have easily sold one of his medicines for an endless amount of wealth and recognition.
But he truly didn’t want those things.
Everyone has their own pursuits, their own ideas.
And his idea was to stay right here. To tell the truth, he was quite content with his life as it was.
Seeing Liu Zheng’s response, the Dean naturally couldn’t insist further.
Honestly, it was apparent from the very beginning how much he loved it here.
The Dean had only thought to give it a try.
But now that he had his answer, he couldn’t force someone to make a certain choice.
He nodded gently before speaking.
"Alright then, since you have made your choice, I won’t say much more. But if you ever change your mind about this matter, you can always find me. The doors of our hospital are always open to you," the Dean said.
Honestly, the other directors were quite surprised to hear this.
Because the Dean was usually very stoic in front of them, very strict and meticulous with everyone.
They had never seen the Dean like this before.
But they also felt that it was perfectly understandable for the Dean to act this way.
If they were in the Dean’s shoes, they would surely show the same attitude.
As doctors, how could they not understand how rare a talent like Liu Zheng was?
A person like him wouldn’t just have a place in the county; even in the big cities, he would have his own niche.
It was just that everyone could see he didn’t seem to care much for such things, as if he just went with the flow.
"Okay, no problem, I’ve got it, thank you for your fondness,"
Liu Zheng said with a slight smile.
It had to be said that the cooperation throughout the day had indeed been very pleasant, and the medical staff would obediently follow Liu Zheng’s directions.
Whatever Liu Zheng asked them to do, they did.
Even the dean and directors were bustling around.
Primarily because there was an endless stream of patients coming in.
Everyone, whether dealing with patients from inside the hospital or the newly arrived ones, treated them all with equal care.
The medical staff also helped out, attending to those who had been in the clinic from the beginning.
It wasn’t until it was almost dark that they finally prepared to head back.
These last two days, Liu Zheng had indeed been very busy.
Before taking in the patients from the hospital, he could get a good night’s sleep, but now their conditions were quite serious, necessitating shifts to keep watch.
And he was an essential link in this chain.
So whenever something came up, he had to get up immediately to see to them properly.
Liu Zheng had indeed been very busy these past two days.
But to tell the truth, he also felt quite happy.
Because he had indeed saved many lives.
And the staff were exceedingly cooperative.
It was precisely for this reason that many people recovered in just a few short days.
Even those patients who were seriously ill and transferred from the hospital had improved a lot.
Upon witnessing this scene, everyone was even more amazed and found it all the more incredible.
They truly realized just how remarkable Liu Zheng was.
And his skill was completely beyond their imagination.
"My goodness, I never imagined he could achieve this."
"Yes, to improve their condition so much in such a short period, it’s practically like bringing them back from the dead!"
"Doctor Liu is really amazing, I’ve never seen anyone so capable!"
During this time, everyone was full of admiration day after day.
In moments of downtime,
a few directors approached the dean.
They then went outside the clinic to chat.
"Dean, why don’t you ask him to share the recipe for this medicine with us? I think his medication is really effective, and if something similar happens in the future, we would have a good way to deal with it," one of the directors said, and the others around him nodded in agreement.
"Yes, I think his prescriptions are incredibly powerful. We could learn from his experience, and of course, we’d be willing to pay for those medical recipes. We wouldn’t expect him to give them away for nothing,"
"Exactly, if the hospital faces a similar situation again in the future, we might be able to make good use of it,"
Seeing everyone agreeing, the dean just shook his head gently.
He had also entertained such thoughts,
but he had indeed considered it seriously.
