In the office, Zhou Chen, who was wearing a white coat, met Xiang Nanfang, who looked nervous.
"Zhou Chen, my father has followed your instructions and pushed into the operating room. You..."
Xiang Nanfang wanted to say something, but he was afraid of putting pressure on Zhou Chen.
Instead, Zhou Chen smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, Nanfang, didn't you say you had confidence in me before? Why did you lose confidence when things came to a close?"
Xiang Nanfang rolled his eyes: "I'm not afraid of putting pressure on you."
Zhou Chen said: "If I can't bear this little pressure, why should I be a doctor? I have already done a detailed examination on Uncle Xiang. I already know his condition very well, and nothing unexpected will happen."
"That……"
Xiang Nannan was about to thank him, but the door to the office was suddenly pushed open, and then he saw a sturdy middle-aged man walking in, followed by several people.
When Xiang Nanfang saw the person, his face suddenly turned ugly: "Brother, who asked you to come in? Didn't I ask you to wait at the door of the operating room?"
Xiang Beifang asked dissatisfiedly: "Dad is going to have an operation. How can I, a son, not ask about the situation?"
After saying that, he looked at Zhou Chen and said coldly: "I don't know how you convinced my sister, and I don't know what you want from our family, but if you can't cure my dad, or
Whatever my father’s fault is, I will never make it easy for you.”
Xiang Nanfang's face instantly became even more ugly, and she said angrily: "Xiang Beiji, are you still a child? Get out of here right now."
Xiang Beifang said: "Nanfang, I don't understand what's so good about this boy. You haven't gotten married yet because of him. I have already invited experts from the capital. If you insist on letting this boy operate on Dad, what will happen to him?"
What kind of ecstasy soup was poured into you so that you didn’t even care about our father’s life?”
Xiang Nanfang's whole body trembled with anger, and he pointed at Xiang Beiyi and cursed: "Xiang Beiyi, you are already forty years old, can you be more mature and use your brain? My parents agreed to let Zhou Chen have the operation.
Zhou Chen also agreed to help Dad perform the surgery because we know each other well. Do you really think our family is proud of it?"
She really couldn't figure out what was wrong with her eldest brother. He was already forty years old, but the dandy in him still hadn't diminished. He always looked domineering to everyone. Where did he get his confidence from?
She is the one with the highest position in the Xiang family, but she is only the director of the Propaganda Department. As for Xiang Beifang, she is just a small leader of a government agency. She managed to reach the rank of a full-time official with the help of her father's influence.
Her father used to be a very powerful person, but after all, he has been retired for several years, so how much favor does he still have?
The whole family is already like this, but her eldest brother still doesn't know how to restrain himself. Now that her father is seriously ill, he is still like this, which really makes her unable to bear it.
Although Zhou Chen has not entered politics, he has been given the title of academician. Even if an academician in his thirties has no real power, he is still a national treasure, much better than a department-level cadre in Xiang Bei.
There is no need to curry favor with the Xiang family.
Xiang Beifang was speechless by Xiang Nanfang. He really didn't dare to offend his sister, but he was still very unhappy with Zhou Chen.
"But he is so young and has so much experience. Aren't I afraid that he will harm our father?"
Zhou Chen said calmly: "Mr. Xiang, if you really don't believe me and don't want me to undergo surgery, I have no objection. The doctor will abide by the opinions of the family."
Xiang Nanfang's expression immediately changed and he said urgently: "Zhou Chen, don't listen to his nonsense. What he said is useless. You should prepare for the operation quickly."
Xiang Beifang's face turned dark. As the only son of the Xiang family, he was actually said to be useless, which embarrassed him.
"south……"
"enough."
Before Xiang Beili could say anything, he was interrupted and an old woman with gray hair walked in.
"Mother."
Both Xiang Nanfang and Xiang Beiyi shouted.
The old woman who walked in was none other than Xiang Mu. Although she was older, she was still elegant and graceful. She did not look at her children, but looked at Zhou Chen.
"Dr. Zhou, I apologize to you for Bei Bei's behavior just now."
"Mom, why do you need to apologize to this kid? He..."
When Xiang Beifang saw that his mother actually apologized, he was extremely anxious to dissuade her.
But Mother Xiang said coldly: "Shut up and get out, right now."
Xiang Beifang was tall and thick, but at this time he didn't even dare to fart and walked out of the office obediently. However, before going out, he glared at Zhou Chen fiercely, but Zhou Chen didn't even look at him.
After Xiang Beifang left, Xiang's mother gently said to Zhou Chen again: "Dr. Zhou, I will leave Lao Xiang to you."
Facing Xiang's mother, Zhou Chen had a good attitude and said softly: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will do my best."
"Good boy, thank you."
Mother Xiang looked at Zhou Chen with mixed feelings in her heart. The college student who needed their family's support at the beginning is now a young talent famous all over the world.
What makes her most regretful is that Zhou Chen did not get together with Nanfang. If they could be combined, it would be a match made in heaven.
She knew that her daughter still refused to get married because of Zhou Chen. Although she had tried to persuade her many times, her daughter refused to listen and she had no choice.
"You're welcome, Auntie, Uncle Xiang also helped me before, I will definitely cure him."
The second before entering the operating room, Xiang Nanfang suddenly grabbed Zhou Chen's arm. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes said everything.
Zhou Chen comforted softly: "It'll be fine."
Xiang Nannan sat with his mother and several relatives of the Xiang family. A group of people gathered around the operating room, waiting quietly.
Zhou Chen had gone through countless surgeries over the course of several lives. Although the patient was someone he knew, it did not waver him. From the moment he entered the operating room, everything went on in an orderly manner.
More than two hours later, the door of the operating room was pushed open and Zhou Chen walked out of the operating room.
The next second, a group of people gathered around him.
"Dr. Zhou, how is Lao Xiang?"
"Zhou Chen, how is my dad?"
"The surname is Zhou..."
"Doctor, my uncle..."
Zhou Chen did not show any impatient expression. He raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "The operation went well. We will conduct tests next. When the results come out, we will notify you. Nanfang, Auntie, go to the office and wait for me first.
I have something to explain to you."
Then he went to wash his hands and change clothes. When he returned to the office, Xiang Nannan and his daughter were already here. In addition, Xiang Beifang was also there.
"Auntie, Nanfang, it will take a while to see Uncle Xiang."
"Doctor Zhou, how is Lao Xiang doing now?"
"Everything is going well, but your body will be very weak after the operation. I will give you a prescription later. It is Chinese medicine. You can get the medicine according to the prescription. I will have someone help you make the medicine. When Uncle Xiang wakes up, don't give him food yet.
, just drink some water, and you can’t eat greasy food recently..."
Zhou Chen spoke for several minutes, emphasizing all the details.
After Zhou Chen finished speaking, Xiang Nannan asked the key question: "When will the test results be available at the latest?"
"I will personally follow up on this, and it will be soon, but you don't have to worry too much. Uncle Xiang's condition is not as bad as you think, even if it is a malignant tumor..."
"What are you talking about? Zhou, do you know how to speak? Who do you think is a malignant tumor? Are you a doctor like you? You are just talking nonsense without any results."
As soon as Zhou Chen said that it might be a malignant tumor, Xiang Beifang immediately became angry. He had endured it for so long, but now he couldn't help it anymore and started to curse at Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen frowned and looked at him with a cold tone: "Mr. Xiang, I am saying this for the sake of the patient. If you don't want to hear it, you can go out first."
"Do you think so? Why do you say my dad has a malignant tumor?"
"I'm just saying it's possible. Mr. Xiang, this is a hospital. Please keep quiet and don't yell, okay?"
If Xiang Beigui treated him like this outside the hospital, Zhou Chen would not tolerate him, but now in the hospital, he is a doctor, so even if he is very unhappy, he must endure it.
"Northern, you go out first."
"mom……"
"go out."
Xiang Beifang snorted coldly and walked out reluctantly.
"Auntie, I have already said the same thing. What I said just now is just to tell you not to worry too much. I see that your complexion is not very good, and you need to pay attention to it recently. Don't be too sad and sad."
"Thank you, Doctor Zhou, I really trouble you today."
"This is what it should be. Nanfang and I are very good friends, and Uncle Xiang has helped me. Auntie, please don't be so polite."
"That was many years ago. It's really hard on you this time, Dr. Zhou."
"Auntie, you should call me Xiao Zhou."
…………
A few days later, Xiang's father's test results came out. The tumor was indeed malignant, which meant that his disease could be called cancer.
Fortunately, the cancer cells have not spread, and the symptoms are in the middle stage. Although they are very serious, after the operation, at least your life is safe. If you take good care and treatment in the later period, you can live for many years.
In the spring of 2002, a big event happened in the Qiao family.
Qi Chenggang was having an affair with a woman, but the woman's husband found out that she was also a figure in Jinling. Not only was Qi Chenggang beaten to death, but he was also threatened with his life. He was so frightened that Qi Chenggang hid in Tibet, not even daring to go home.
return.
If he doesn't go home, the unlucky ones are his parents and Qiao Simei, mother and daughter. People often go to his parents' house and Qiao's house to look for Qi Chenggang, and both of them are threatened.
There was even one time when Qiao Simei and her daughter were blocked. At the critical moment, Qiao Simei had to carry Zhou Chen and Qiao Sanli out, which made the other party avoid taking action.
Chenxing Group is now the leading enterprise in Jinling and is ranked among the best in China. Therefore, the Zhou family is deeply rooted in Jinling and will not be easily provoked even by those in power.
Finally, at Qiao Sanli's request, Zhou Chen came forward to negotiate with the other party. However, he did not intercede on behalf of Qi Chenggang. He only asked the other party to have his grievances be owed and to go to Qi Chenggang if he had any problems, so as not to affect others.
That person also knew about Chenxing Group and Zhou Chen, so he promised Zhou Chen to save face, saying that he would only cause trouble for Qi Chenggang's family in the future, and would never cause trouble for Qiao Simei's mother and daughter.
Qiao Simei knew that Zhou Chen was very proud and asked Zhou Chen to help Qi Chenggang many times, but was coldly rejected by Zhou Chen.
Damn it, it's only natural that you mess with other people's women, and they mess with you. How could he help with such a thing?
But what Zhou Chen didn't expect was that Qiao Simei actually made another jaw-dropping move in the end.
In Qiao’s yard;
Qiao Zuwang, who was already trembling slightly when walking, was full of anger at the moment. He was walking back and forth in the yard angrily, cursing and swearing.
When he was getting angry, Zhou Chen, Qiao Sanli, Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Erqiang returned home.
As soon as Qiao Yicheng came back, he asked: "Dad, you called us all back in such a hurry, what happened?"
Qiao Zuwang just called the three of them and asked them to come back immediately. Several people thought something had happened to Qiao Zuwang, so they all hurried back.
"What happened?"
Qiao Zuwang was so angry that he cursed: "Qiao Simei, your good sister, she has done all the good things. What evil have I done in my life? How could I raise such a thing? I have committed evil, I have committed evil."
Qiao Yicheng and others were all confused when they heard: "Dad, tell me clearly, what happened, what did Simei do again?"
They already knew about Qi Chenggang's previous affairs. They persuaded Qiao Simei to divorce, but Qiao Simei didn't listen to them at all. What could they do?
"See for yourselves what I did."
Throwing an envelope in his hand to Qiao Yicheng, he then walked back to the back room yelling: "This stinky girl, let her die outside. Even if I die, I don't want to see her again."
The Qiao brothers and sisters took out the letter from the envelope and read it carefully.
In less than a minute, the three brothers and sisters all showed expressions of disbelief, and even Zhou Chen had a look of astonishment on his face.
"What has made her crazy? How could she even do such a thing? Qiao Simei, you..."
Qiao Yizheng fought with his hands in anger and kept coughing. Qiao Simei had done many wrong things in the past, but this time, her behavior was really intolerable to him.
"For a man like that, he even gave up his own daughter. What on earth was Simei thinking?"
Even Qiao Erqiang, who loved his sister the most, didn't know what to say at this moment.
As for Qiao Sanli, after reading the letter, she remained silent and looked at Qi Qiaoqiao who was sitting on the threshold involuntarily.
It turned out that this letter was left by Qiao Simei. The general content of it was that she and Qi Chenggang went to hide outside for a while, and they would come back after the troublemaker stopped making trouble.
At the same time, she left a message for Qiao Sanli in the letter, hoping that Qiao Sanli could help her take care of her daughter Qi Qiaoqiao, and would take Qi Qiaoqiao back when she came back.
Zhou Chen was really speechless. This Qiao Simei was really obsessed with love. Qi Chenggang obviously made a big mistake. In the end, she even abandoned her daughter and ran away to seek refuge with Qi Chenggang in order to be with Qi Chenggang.
It’s really amazing. When you encounter something like this, it would be outrageous not to get divorced. How can you actually do such a thing?
Hearing Qiao Yicheng still yelling angrily, Qiao Erqiang said: "Brother, it's useless no matter how you scold me now, they have already left. We have to discuss now, what should Qiaoqiao do?"
Qiao Yicheng stopped cursing and looked at Qiao Sanli: "Sanli, although Simei left a message asking you to take care of Qiaoqiao, I think you are so busy, so you should ask Qiaoqiao to come back with me. It's just enough time for you to take care of Qiaoqiao."
She keeps company with Xiaojin."
The matter has reached this point, and there is no room for maneuver. The top priority now is indeed how to settle Qi Qiaoqiao.
It was definitely not possible to leave it to Qiao Zuwang. He was also afraid that Zhou Chen would have objections to Simei and Qi Chenggang's child, so he thought of taking it back by himself.
Qiao Erqiang said: "Brother, why don't you leave Qiaoqiao to me? As you all know, Zhiyong went to college and left. Suqin and I are the only two people at home. We have plenty of time and energy to take care of Qiaoqiao.
If you happen to be with us, we can also have a child by our side."
"this?"
Qiao Yicheng hesitated. He felt that what Qiao Erqiang said made sense. He and Sanli both had children at home. On the contrary, Qiao Erqiang had no children, and Qiao Erqiang was kind-hearted. If Qi Qiaoqiao was handed over to Qiao Er,
Strong, it is indeed a good choice.
"Sanli, what do you think?"
Qiao Sanli didn't know how to answer. As Qiao Yicheng said, she is now the president of Chenxing Group and is busy working most of the time.
Even her two children are mostly taken care of by the elderly at home. If Qi Qiaoqiao is asked to go back with her, she will definitely not have much time to take care of them herself.
But Qiao Simei entrusted Qi Qiaoqiao to her in the letter. It would be unreasonable if she ignored it and pushed it to the eldest and second brothers.
"How about I take it back? Although I don't have much time, there are people at home, including a nanny, and little apples and little glutinous rice balls to play with Qiaoqiao."
"Sanli, leave it to me. Suqin and I have time to take care of her, and Suqin will definitely like her very much."
Qiao Erqiang really wanted to take Qi Qiaoqiao back. He and Ma Suqin were no longer planning to have children, but Ma Suqin's son went to college and the house was empty. If there was one more child at this time, it would be too much for them.
A kind of comfort and sustenance.
Qiao Yicheng said: "Sanli, what Erqiang said makes sense. Although Simei asked you, the child is a big deal and you can't be careless. After all, Qiaoqiao is only four years old. If something like this happens, she will definitely need a long period of time."
It will take time to adapt, what she needs most now is someone to accompany her."
