When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chen Cang really enjoyed spending time with Old Ma.

It wasn't because Old Ma was rich, but simply because being with him brought endless joy!

Of course, life can't be without some bumps!

But even if there were any bumps, or some unhappiness, they would always happen to Old Ma, making Chen Cang smile knowingly.

In this moment, Chen Cang finally understood why his sister-in-law liked Old Ma.

Perhaps this was Old Ma's personal charm.

Chen Cang had been the deputy leader of the Central Health Committee expert group for a while now.

He finally faced his first health examination.

When he received the call, Chen Cang was slightly taken aback, almost forgetting this was his main job.

The call was from the secretary of Old Master Qin.

In less than 30 minutes, the car was already parked at the hospital entrance.

Chen Cang didn't take anything with him, because nothing he took would be allowed in anyway.

The driver was a silent middle-aged man with sharp features, who respectfully called him "Chief" when Chen Cang got in the car.

Once he arrived at the residence, the room was large and spacious, but it was obvious this wasn't a home.

This was a military district sanatorium, lacking large examination equipment, but for a sanatorium, it was pretty well equipped.

"Xiao Chen is here!" Old Master Qin stood up to greet Chen Cang as soon as he saw him.

Chen Cang smiled, "Hello, Old Master!"

Old Master Qin had recovered well and looked vibrant.

Recovering so well after pancreatic head cancer surgery was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Good! Haha, really good!"

"Please sit down, someone, pour Doctor Chen a cup of tea."

After sitting down, Old Master Qin smiled at Chen Cang, "Good! Really good! I heard about what happened in Baguo last time!"

"You made a great contribution to the country!"

Chen Cang couldn't help but smile, "It's all part of my duties. I believe everyone would do the same.

It just so happened that such an event occurred, and I was able to help. I believe anyone else could do it too."

Old Master Qin nodded, lifting the large porcelain mug to drink, "I can't get used to hot tea; I prefer big sips like this."

"Good! Neither arrogant nor impetuous."

"About the last event, the leaders also talked to me, asking what reward you wanted, and you hadn't made up your mind. Now, have you decided?" Old Master Qin asked seriously.

After saying this, he suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought about joining the military?"

"Come to the military hospital, be a director!"

"In a few years, I'll make you a brigadier general!"

"I can't guarantee anything else, but... while I'm alive, you're definitely fine, and before I go, I'll at least get you to major general level!"

"Plus, with your ability, you can win over the crowd, everyone agrees, what do you think?"

Old Master Qin's words were firm and powerful.

Every word seemed like a promise rather than a casual conversation.

Indeed!

Even though Old Master Qin is now just an advisor, this advisor is no ordinary one.

He is part of the leader's military think tank.

The guards nearby got slightly flustered hearing Old Master Qin's words.

Because even when Old Master Qin's own sons came, he never gave such promises!

But he made a significant promise to this young man.

For most people, this already changed their societal status.

What is a major general?

It's a general!

Something most people can't reach in a lifetime or two.

But here, it all depended on Chen Cang's response.

If he agreed, Chen Cang could reach that level.

This seemed like the simplest transaction!

However!

Chen Cang remained silent.

He didn't know when it started, but Chen Cang realized he had more and more choices.

And when faced with these choices, he had more and more to consider.

Should he agree?

Chen Cang shook his head and smiled, "Thank you for your kindness, Old Master."

"But... to be honest, I haven't considered it yet."

Rights and obligations come hand in hand.

Agreeing would mean facing all kinds of restrictions.

Moreover!

The key point is, Chen Cang feels that whether or not he becomes a major general, the societal status he has, even in the future, won't be inferior to entering that system.

The hospital's establishment is, after all, just a public institution.

This type of establishment means Chen Cang has more choices.

Such as founding a company, investing in overseas research projects, and Chen Cang's future development.

These are all things Chen Cang is unwilling to give up.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Cang still decided to refuse.

However, he didn't give a definitive answer.

He just said he hadn't considered it yet.

The Old Master waved his hand and smiled, "It's okay, it doesn't matter."

"Young people, more choices, more opportunities, it's a good thing."

"The times are different, but..."

At this point, Old Master Qin looked at Chen Cang and said seriously, "But... Xiao Chen, I sincerely hope that no matter when, you can stand on the side of the motherland."

"I know, healthcare knows no borders, and healing the sick is the responsibility of people worldwide, but... we doctors do have borders."

"I hope you remember this."

To be honest, Old Master Qin was really worried about certain issues.

This group of elders had a strong sense of crisis.

Chen Cang smiled, looked at the Old Master, and said seriously, "Don't worry, Old Master, I am Chinese."

"This has not changed, and it will not change."

Seeing Chen Cang like this, Old Master Qin couldn't help but smile widely.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Nowadays, it's common to see researchers leaving China.

Old Master Qin was also worried about this, "If you need anything, tell me, tell the country, and we'll do our best to meet it!"

Chen Cang nodded and smiled.

At noon, Chen Cang was invited to stay for lunch.

The two did not bring up this matter again.

Instead, they talked about amusing things and some domestic trivia.

The Old Master didn't treat Chen Cang as an outsider, and Chen Cang had a good impression of the Old Master.

Back then, it was this elder who pounded the table and said he'd be Chen Cang's backing!

Halfway through the meal.

An old man arrived.

Old Master Qin introduced him like a treasure, "Old Li, look, this is my health doctor!"

The elderly man, around the same age as Old Master Qin, saw Chen Cang and immediately laughed, "Hey, Professor Chen Cang, right?"

"I'm telling you, Old Qin, you're the lucky one; otherwise, how could you have snatched Professor Chen!"

Old Master Qin wasn't annoyed, "This is called strategic vision!"

"There is a kind of illness called: knowing how to get sick!"

Old Li chuckled, "Fine, you're lucky, I can't compare to you."

"Mind if I join you with chopsticks?"

Old Master Qin smiled, and the security personnel had already brought over bowls and chopsticks.

Old Li laughed as he pulled out a flask of liquor from his pocket, "Want to give it a try?"

Old Master Qin's expression changed, "You'd better ask the boss about that!"

The elderly man paused, "Boss? Who can control you, Old Qin?"

Old Master Qin glanced at Chen Cang, "Professor Chen here!"

"In matters of health, I must obey the boss!"

Everyone immediately burst into laughter.
