Chapter 463 - 221: Never Offend a Nurse—Fate Decided Over Drinks (Part 2)
After all, the Sunshine Clinic is quite big now.
"Let’s clock out at six sharp today; I’m treating everyone to a feast at Jidong Restaurant."
Li Jingsheng said to the four employees.
"Yes, yes!"
Siying and Tang Ping, the two beauties, clapped their hands in excitement.
"Boss, this seems like the first time we’re having a feast with you!"
Xiaogao’s eyes lit up upon hearing about the feast.
"Since we’re also inviting others from this street, none of us should bring any family, but Sister Tang can bring Niuniu."
Li Jingsheng was quite considerate of the veteran employees.
Fortunately, the private room at Jidong Restaurant was big enough to seat twenty people at one table with no problem.
Li Jingsheng couldn’t predict whether the guests would bring family or not.
He definitely needed to control the number of people on their side.
"Niuniu is at home doing her homework. I’ll just bring back something delicious for her later."
Tang Ping said.
"That’s fine, pick a bit more of what she likes later."
Li Jingsheng showed evident care for the mother and daughter duo.
"So, how was the clinic work and medicine sales today—not a big drop, I hope?"
He was genuinely a bit worried about this.
Yesterday’s new clinic opening was pretty good, but today was uncertain.
"Everything was fine! There was a surgical patient, with an elbow cut open, but since you weren’t here, we referred him to the community health station."
Tang Ping spoke with regret about the surgical patient.
For a small clinic like theirs, getting a surgical patient was quite rare.
But if it was just a surface suture on the elbow, there wasn’t much money to be made.
You need a bigger case to earn more.
"Siying and Dr. Wang should practice suturing well; once you have the chance, you can gain hands-on experience."
Li Jingsheng said to the two.
"I’ve been practicing all along, just that my suturing is quite terrible, nowhere close to Master."
Siying had gotten used to calling him Master.
No matter the occasion, she would always call him Master.
This felt like how Li Jingsheng used to persistently ask Doctor Xu to be his mentor.
He quite liked this female apprentice—smart, hard-working, and ambitious.
She would grasp a lot of clinical diagnosis knowledge as soon as it was taught.
"I’ve always worked in internal medicine; during my internship and regular training, I did practice basic surgical skills like suturing and knotting. But I’m a bit rusty now, though I will work hard to practice."
Dr. Wang expressed.
By now, he had lost all arrogance.
After coming to the clinic, he realized the little he knew, and the clinical experience he had accumulated, couldn’t even handle most of the patients at a small clinic.
His attitude being correct was good.
But being a bit older, it’s still uncertain if he can master it.
Learning skills and knowledge should be done when you’re young; otherwise, wanting to learn when you’re older might not even be possible.
The older you get, the worse your memory and learning ability become.
The few of them tidied up, locked the door, and walked together to Jidong Restaurant. None of the five people from the clinic, including Li Jingsheng the boss, owned a car.
Doing poorly is just like this.
Not to mention buying a car, even buying a regular electric bike was difficult.
However, the business at Sunshine Clinic was improving now, and everyone’s income was rising with it. As long as they develop steadily for a few years, houses and cars would not be a problem.
Arriving at Jidong Restaurant, Li Jingsheng had already reserved a private room and let the four of them sit inside first.
When guests came, they could chat with them and pour some water.
Li Jingsheng stood at the door to greet them.
Time slowly passed, but not a single guest had arrived.
Li Jingsheng occasionally checked his phone, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Station Chief Qiao had agreed to come, but with numerous matters on his hands, he might be late.
As for the other colleagues, Boss Zhao was responsible for inviting them.
Whether they would come was really uncertain.
Near six-thirty, Station Chief Qiao arrived first, with Boss Zhao by his side. Boss Ye, Fatty Zhang, and others followed.
These folks came together.
Li Jingsheng warmly welcomed them inside.
"Today, if Brother Li is treating us, we won’t hold back!"
Calling Li Jingsheng "Brother Li" was Station Chief Qiao’s public stance.
He also brought along a nurse and two doctors.
One of them was Ding Shouwang.
This person was the leader of the surgery department at the health station and was highly valued by Station Chief Qiao.
The other doctor was Doctor Zha from internal medicine.
When this old woman first met Li Jingsheng, she was quite arrogant. At this moment, seeing him, her face was filled with so many wrinkles from smiling, like aged tree bark.
It’s only fair to say that times change for people.
Now, Li Jingsheng was someone she had to look up to.
The head nurse was quite beautiful and seemed close to Station Chief Qiao.
Those who understand, understand.
For men, once they have power and money, they inherently know how to enjoy life.
With everyone welcomed in, the dishes were served, and the banquet began.
"Brother Li certainly knows how to hide beauties in golden houses! Two stunning ladies, tsk tsk, you’re a model for us all!"
After a few drinks, Station Chief Qiao was flushed and more open with his words.
"Station Chief Qiao, a toast to you! Please don’t make such jokes again, or if my girlfriend hears this, won’t she give me trouble?"
Li Jingsheng raised his glass to him.
Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this.
"I heard Brother Li found a girlfriend more beautiful than a movie star, what good fortune! Alas, the flowers bloom again, but we never get younger; Old Zhao and I are just aging."
Station Chief Qiao shook his head repeatedly in lamentation.
