Chapter 360 - 173: Visible Growth, Ubiquitous Worldly Wisdom

To entice them to come and bid farewell to Zhou Can, it would be foolish to believe that it was purely out of colleague camaraderie. The main reason surely lay in Zhou Can's astonishing potential, which made him valuable to forge connections with.

Of course, friendship also played a part.

After all, human relationships are fundamentally a blend of both friendship and benefit.

Friendship fosters trust, whereas benefits are crucial bonds that maintain interactions and mutual assistance.

Without a foundation of trust, even presenting gifts is impossible.

No leader, no matter how needy, would accept gifts from a stranger. There must be a trusted middleman to bridge and guide the process for the gift to be successfully given.

The doctors from the Intensive Care Medicine Department, like Doctor Hu and Deputy Director Yu, did not have a deep relationship with Zhou Can.

It is presumed they also wished to use this farewell to deepen their ties with Zhou Can.

So they would have a base to ask for favors in the future.

After saying goodbye to them one by one, Zhou Can went home after work.

Dr. Shi caught up to him.

"Dr. Zhou, since you're moving to another department, will we continue to write the paper together?" Dr. Shi asked. "Even if you're not participating, I'll still include your name when I submit it."

He added the comment.

Dr. Shi, a silent and reliable man, could not hide his true feelings.

Although polite in speech, his eyes and expressions clearly showed he did not want Zhou Can to back out of the collaboration.

Alone, he certainly could complete the remainder of the paper.

But it would definitely not be as effective as the collaboration of two.

"Of course, I'll participate. It's a joy to learn and progress with Dr. Shi." Opportunities like these to mix with senior doctors were seldom available to Zhou Can.

Working with Dr. Shi on the paper was immensely beneficial to him.

They had collaborated for nearly three months, and had already formed a high level of tacit understanding during their re

For this reason, because Zhou Can was crucial to completing the paper, Dr. Shi had come to talk to him privately.

With Zhou Can's response, Dr. Shi also quietly relieved.

"Stay in touch!"

Dr. Shi shook his phone he was holding, turned around, and left.

...

The next day, Zhou Can arrived early at the Cardiothoracic Surgery department to register.

To avoid any nit-picking.

Director Xie of General Surgery had never been friendly to him, always harboring intentions to suppress him.

Just like America's unending schemes to suppress China, always acting maliciously and oppressively.

As long as Zhou Can did not align himself with General Surgery, Director Xie would feel uneasy, always fearing that Zhou Can would bring great threats to General Surgery in the future. His suppression of Zhou Can would not cease.

Cardiothoracic Surgery was reputed as one of the strongest four departments in surgery, not without merit.

A single heart bypass surgery could generate revenue of seventy to eighty thousand.

As for various surgeries involving the heart, lungs, and the main arteries, they were essentially all major surgeries involving high costs and technical difficulty.

This was the source of confidence where the doctors from Cardiothoracic Surgery could afford their arrogance.

In technical terms, Cardiothoracic Surgery was one of the few that could challenge neurosurgery within the surgical field.

However, in recent years, with the increasing subdivision in major hospitals,

Cardiac and major vascular surgery gradually began being listed as a separate department.

Effectively dismembering Cardiothoracic Surgery.

This division hit Thoracic Surgery quite hard.

Tu Ya's Cardiothoracic Surgery had not yet split, hence its strong capabilities.

In the doctor's office, Zhou Can noticed including himself, there were only five new standardized trainees in Cardiothoracic Surgery.
