293 Arrogan (1/2)

Pharmaceutical sales representatives were the doctors' little wadded jackets. They basically took very good care of the doctors. Some good pharmaceutical sales representatives could act as cotton armors, job-transferring comforters, provided small towels, and could even be torn into cotton swabs…

Strictly speaking, it was not that pharmaceutical sales representatives could not leave the doctors, but the doctors could not leave the pharmaceutical sales representatives.

A thoughtful and capable pharmaceutical sales representative was like a full-time secretary for a doctor. Even if he left the doctor, he could still have a bright future ahead of him. Even if he no longer worked as a pharmaceutical sales representative, he could still be outstanding in every other service industry.

Meanwhile, doctors could not work without their wadded jackets. It was precisely because the doctors needed pharmaceutical sales representatives that medical companies kept recruiting pharmaceutical sales representatives in order to fulfill the doctors' needs.

The more capable the doctor was, the better a pharmaceutical sales representative the doctor needed. Some doctors could not even make an order for food when they left their pharmaceutical sales representative's side. They were like people who had sat on the wheelchair for too long. If they did not go for rehabilitation consistently, they would suffer from muscle atrophy on their legs.

Pharmaceutical sales representatives were the people who stood behind medical authority (Amberson Bird Welch, n.d.).

*Bang.*

Huang Maoshi closed the hardback edition of [Self-Cultivation of A Pharmaceutical Sales Representative]. He felt very energetic, and he even felt that he was filled with positive energy.

He stretched his arm to wind down the window of the taxi, and he looked out at the busy world at night. A heroic spirit suddenly rose in him, and he started to sing a song quietly. ”Endless waves come and go, endless water flows for ten thousand miles…”

This was the first time he went for a business trip, and he even went out to an international metropolis.

In Huang Maoshi's heart was an urge to prove himself in this international metropolis. He wanted to go back to Yun Hua City along with a proof of his capabilities in this international metropolis so that everyone in Changxi Medical Company could look up to him.

Even it was just a thought, Huang Maoshi could not help laughing.

”We've arrived at your destination. 146 RMB.” The taxi driver cast a glance at Huang Maoshi from the rearview mirror.

”Please round it up.” Huang Maoshi showed his smile. His smile was very powerful, and normally, he would not show it.

The taxi driver was quiet for a few seconds before he said, ”Then, 145 RMB.”

..…

As he watched the tail lights on the retreating taxi, Huang Maoshi turned around in scorn, and he silently repeated Amberson Bird Welch's quote, ”I am who I am, but I am no longer the me of yesterday.”

He repeated this three times silently, Huang Maoshi then reopened his phone messages and smiled while he looked at the latest five-digit salary that had been banked into his account.

Becoming a gold-collar worker who earned more than ten thousand a month affected Huang Maoshi hugely. It made Huang Maoshi perform a self-reflection every day. 'Do I feel proud of my rising wages? Have I become arrogant after my income has increased tremendously? Should I be allowed… to have my ego swell up so much that it becomes the size of a football field?'

”Hi, please register in the entry-exit registration system,” the guard at the door shouted at Huang Maoshi before he asked again, ”Which organization are you from? Did you bring along the invitation card?”

”I am a pharmaceutical sales representative from Changxi Medical Company.” Huang Maoshi's ego immediately shrank. He had not paid back all his credit card debts, so he could not have his ego swell up too much right now.

”Changxi Medical Company… Oh, I found it,” replied the guard before he turned the book to Huang Maoshi and said, ”Sign here, and you will get a pass.”

”Alright.” Huang Maoshi was quite familiar with this kind of situation.

After putting on the entry pass and smoothing out his outfit, Huang Maoshi entered the hall like a model.

In the spacious plenary session, there were… tens of doctors scattered around the seats. A doctor gave a speech using an unknown language as he spoke to the camera.

Huang Maoshi had been to several conferences. He knew that this meant the conference had progressed on the right track, and the main conference hall was the place that did not need him the most.

Huang Maoshi continued to move forward, and in a short while, he found a few small conference halls. He carefully took a few photos for the filing purposes for his work today.

Subsequently, Huang Maoshi started to find his mission target today—Ling Ran.

Huang Maoshi felt that this mission was a little unfair to him.

On one hand, he must listen to the orders given by his immediate superior, Xie Yihe. Yet, he could not ignore the orders given by Huo Congjun, who was the important customer of his company.

On the other hand, Huang Maoshi was slightly angry.

'Why?! I earn more than ten thousand now. My pockets are full, and my ego is the size of a football field now, and I still have to serve a young doctor?'

In Huang Maoshi's memories, the same kind of treatment could only be given to doctors who were at least associate chief physicians.

Some associate chief physicians did not even have people serving them when they went out.

For a young doctor like Ling Ran, his salary should only be in four digits, right?

Huang Maoshi's lips went up, and he was unable to help him but show a smug smile of a person who moved from one social class to another.

”You over there, come come come…” A doctor immediately waved and called when he saw the tall and strong Hua Maoshi.
