Chapter 219 - Fortune tellers (2/2)

Zhang Fan felt more reassured because his mother was more reliable than his father. He felt that it was likely to be safer since someone else had gone on this tour before.

“Be careful while you’re outside. Don’t be worried about saving money.”

“I know. My Little Rock has grown up and knows to dote on me now. Make sure to send my greetings to Shao Hua’s family. That fortune teller is really accurate. The Chen Family’s new wife became pregnant. It was all because of the fortune teller’s accurate readings!”

Zhang Fan helplessly hung up the call. No wonder why his hometown province had such a large test tube baby center with very poor business. There were too many fortune tellers!

“Director, please tell me what the task is. I won’t return home if there’s a task. You rarely ask for anything, so of course I must give you face,” Zhang Fan answered the hospital administration director with a pretend serious expression. Zhang Fan was slowly getting accustomed to putting his real feelings aside and wearing a mask. Was this evidence that he was maturing due to Chinese society? Heh!

“You youngster, you’re getting smarter every day. Still, your words do make me happy.” The hospital administration director was really delighted to hear Zhang Fan’s words. He even got up from his seat and walked over to the sofa that Zhang Fan was sitting on to pat the latter on the shoulder. “It’s like this. The proctology department director is getting married! He asked for a marriage leave. Since this is his second marriage, he’s not publicizing it, and is intending on secretly going on a honeymoon.”

The hospital administration director had a rather wicked smile as he said this! He was actually quite the gossipy type.

“Oh, I see. What do you need, then?” Zhang Fan asked. The proctology department director was in his early 40s. For some reason, he got a divorce from his first wife, and then got married to a much younger woman. Since he was a director, he was a bit too embarrassed to invite his coworkers to such a wedding, so instead he chose to go on a private honeymoon vacation.

“Since the proctology department was only recently established as separate department, the doctors in that department still aren’t capable of the difficult work by themselves. I was thinking that since you’re still a rotation doctor, how about you rotate to the proctology department next month and take on their most difficult work?”

“Director, how long will I be required to work there? Don’t permanently assign me to the proctology department afterwards!” Zhang Fan intentionally exaggerated when he said this.

“It’s impossible even if you want to permanently stay in the proctology department. Superintendent Ouyang would never agree. It should be only for about a month. How about it? Are you familiar with proctology? Don’t say that you can’t do it in front of a proctology patient. At that time, even I will lose face, not just you.”

“It’s not a problem. Then, about the other doctors in the proctology department…” Zhang Fan didn’t want the other doctors in the proctology department to resent him just for the sake of one month’s time working there.

“Sigh! Nobody wants to join the proctology department. There’re only a few resident doctors. It will take at least three years before any of them are experienced enough to get promoted to attending physician. Basically, with the proctology department director on vacation, this department will basically shut down if you don’t go there!”

“Alright, I’ll go since you value me so much, Director.” Zhang Fan no longer worried once he heard that there were only resident doctors. He wouldn’t need to pay so much attention to other things, since they would all be equal in rank. He would simply let his skills speak for himself.

“Okay then. Take two days off to rest. I’ll then give you a phone call and bring you to your next rotation. The youngest ever department director at our hospital is about to be born! Haha!” The hospital administration director found his own joke really funny.

“Ah!” Zhang Fan didn’t know how to respond to this joke.

Zhang Fan really was quite tired as he had had far too many patients recently. He still had several medical reports to finish. It was almost New Year’s, and home cleanup wasn’t done yet, so Zhang Fan offered to help. However, Shao Hua’s parents instantly refused. They knew quite well about the flu epidemic and how busy the hospital must have been.

Shao Hua was also now at a critical moment. She had been constantly studying for her accounting exam. She was also the prideful type as she wanted to conquer the accounting exam in just one year. This would require lots of hard work and studying late into the night on a daily basis.
