Chapter 743: Chapter 302: The Boldness of a Newborn Calf and the Importance of Reputation for Doctors_3
Today is the most hurtful day Zhou Can has ever had.
Although he possesses great skills, his lack of fame, academic credentials, and dazzling achievements means he is obscure and not trusted by patients and their families. Not recognized.
During dinner, Ji You diligently served him his meal.
"Dr. Zhou, I’m not sure whether it suits your taste?"
"As long as you personally served it, even plain rice would taste fragrant. I like all these dishes! Thank you!" Feeling embarrassingly over-catered to, Zhou Can was actually quite unaccustomed to being treated like an emperor.
"Hehe, glad you like it. I didn’t realize Dr. Zhou, who’s usually so serious at work, could say things that make girls happy!" She glanced at Zhou Can, slightly abashed, and quickly bowed her head to eat the food on her plate.
It took Zhou Can a moment to react.
But, as someone who had been in a relationship, he was an old hand at this.
The look Ji You gave him just now clearly had a tinge of her heart being touched.
Reflecting on what he had just said, he pinched himself.
Seems like he inadvertently said something without thinking, leading to her misunderstanding.
"Ha-ha, I suppose being able to say things girls like to hear is something I was forced to learn. I had to practice a lot when I was pursuing my current girlfriend," Zhou Can certainly didn’t want this misunderstanding to fester.
The best way was to clarify and dispel any misunderstanding.
By letting Ji You know he has a girlfriend would be the best approach.
The sad expression and the lonely look in Qiao Yu’s eyes when she first found out he had a girlfriend left a deep impression on him.
So, he has now learned to be smart about it, sensing even a hint of interest, he quickly makes clear that he’s already taken, to cut off any budding thoughts the girl might have.
"Giggle giggle giggle!"
Her laughter was somewhat exaggerated, covering her mouth, her body shaking with mirth.
Upon learning Zhou Can had a girlfriend, a trace of disappointment was clearly visible deep in her eyes.
However, her fondness for Zhou Can was just beginning, far from the love stage, so there was no real harm done. At most, it was just a touch of disappointment.
"For a guy as outstanding as you are, I just knew you must already have a girlfriend! They say love makes you mature, and your talent from dating is making girls happy!"
She teased Zhou Can.
"If I didn’t hone this skill, I’d be afraid that other men would take my girlfriend away." Zhou Can touched his nose, responding.
"You’re so outstanding, other men are no match for you! But it’s good to practice your sweet talk, makes you more competitive. All creatures on Earth are striving to evolve, and we humans are the species evolving the fastest. Our evolution lies not in our bodies, but in our brains and thoughts, our consciousness."
She held Zhou Can in very high esteem.
"Never thought Miss Ji would speak so philosophically, beautiful and intelligent, with inner substance, you’re truly outstanding."
After chatting with her for a bit, Zhou Can’s mood, soured by the day’s unfruitful clinic, began to improve.
The two of them ate and talked.
"I noticed you seemed down when leaving work, do you feel better now?" Ji You asked softly towards the end of the meal.
"With a great beauty like you cheering me up, I’ve long stopped feeling depressed. You’re quite observant," Zhou Can was slightly touched. Being cared for by others is a form of happiness.
"I’ve been with you in the clinic the whole time, I empathize deeply! I believe that gold will eventually shine. Your strength is strong, what you’re lacking is just opportunity and fame. As long as you accumulate slowly, more and more people will come to you for treatment. Your reputation will also gradually rise."
She tenderly counseled Zhou Can.
Giving him encouragement.
