Dean Li took out a paper bag from a folder and handed it to Su Mian, “Please accept this 2,000 yuan as my token of regard. The hospital’s business has doubled in the past two months, thanks to the surgery you performed on Teacher Wang, which has made the hospital famous. Now, there are several times more patients than before.”
Obviously, Su Mian had not expected that she would bring such good benefits to the hospital when she used Dean Li’s hospital for the surgery. She did not refuse, for it had indeed been unintentional.
She was about to graduate from senior high school and she had to have her own source of income when she entered university. She could no longer keep asking her family for money. The 2,000 yuan was her first bucket of gold and she would be able to use it when the time came.
“Then thank you Dean Li, I will accept it.” Su Mian took the paper bag. It was quite heavy, since at this time, the maximum value of a coin was ten yuan, so 2,000 yuan was quite a big bag.
Dean Li had been afraid that Su Mian would refuse. Seeing her accept it so readily, he felt very gratified, “The hospital was already on the verge of bankruptcy so this is all credited to you. As long as you are in the hospital for a day, I will pay you dividends every month from now on.”
Thinking of how Su Mian would go to university in September, Dean Li looked melancholic, “You will be leaving after September. I don’t know how long the hospital will last.”
This was what Dean Li was the most worried about. Su Mian was here right now and was still helping Rui Rui treat her illness, so it was a given that business was good. He was afraid that as soon as Su Mian left, the hospital would return to its former deserted state.
Su Mian would definitely leave to study in September and she would definitely not be able to come to the county hospital again. “Let’s think of a way together. Maybe I will open a hospital when the time comes. Dean Li, how about you take care of it for me?”
Su Mian had thought of this idea for a long time. She certainly would not have much time to operate it when she was studying. Dean Li was a good candidate. The most important thing was that he had a good character, was open-minded, and studious.
He was especially clever. Not just anyone would have thought to pay her dividends and only such a person would be able to manage a hospital well.
It would be great if he could come and help her. When the time came, she could set up a research institute to study various kinds of difficult diseases. Then there would be a good place for those people who went around seeking medical advice despite not being ill.
When Dean Li heard this, his eyes brightened instantly, “Su Mian, is what you’re saying true? If it’s true, as long as you need it, I will sell this hospital immediately.” Dean Li was speaking the truth. He had nothing that he was reluctant to part with. His parents had died early and he only had one brother. His wife and children would just follow him.
Moreover, this Su Mian was more important. Dean Li thought that in a few years, Su Mian would definitely achieve success in the medical field and he was also willing to learn medicine from her.
In the past two years of reform and opening up, he had also felt restless. He wanted to leave this small Bai County and take a look outside it.
Su Mian had spoken casually and had not expected Dean Li to agree, “Dean Li, I will contact you when I have settled in. Treating illnesses and saving people is my ideal life.”
Su Mian was not lying. She had been a military doctor in her previous life and had witnessed the lives of soldiers taken by war with her own eyes. She had also witnessed with her own eyes how many people had been terminally ill.
In this life, since she had the medical tower space, she would abide by the agreement with the grandmaster to study medical skills and take on the responsibility of treating diseases and saving others.
Moreover, she sincerely liked the profession of being a doctor. She had been ill before and in the last few years of her previous life in prison, she had been tortured by illness. The prison doctor had looked at her and said that it was incurable. That was undoubtedly announcing her death sentence. She understood the fear, the deep helplessness, and the despair that everyday might be the last.
She understood!
