As for the system, Pan Jun had deep feelings. He knew people who felt they were qualified would struggle to grab the opportunity. Some of them that were qualified might even fail because it also partly depended on their relations.h.i.+ps.
“There was also a supplement in the county concerning the self-employed doctors like you,” he said. “I heard that it was put forward by county magistrate Dai.”
“What kind of the supplement is?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“To add two places for the people out of the system,” Pan Jun said.
“Two places?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“Yeah, it’s very few,” Pan Jun replied. “My suggestion is that you’d better use your relations.h.i.+ps.”
Pan Jun knew something about w.a.n.g Yao’s interpersonal relations.h.i.+ps. They were very powerful. Tian Yuantu could even help him in this matter, among others.
“Ah, let me think about it,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “Come on, let me check again.”
w.a.n.g Yao gave the patient a ma.s.sage three times. Each was 30 minutes. The effects were so obvious that the swelling on his ankle was almost reduced. It was no longer like what it was when he had come in. At that time, his foot could not touch the floor. He had to walk with the support of others.
“Good, I will prescribe some medicine for you,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
He prescribed two medicines. They were usually used to promote blood circulation to dispel blood stasis.
“And, you need to soak your foot in hot water,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“Okay, thanks,” the patient replied. “How much?”
“150,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
The young man following his father said, “That’s so expensive!” It was an embarra.s.sing response.
“Expensive?” Pan Jun on the side could not put up with it.
The ma.s.sage was well over an hour and its effects were extraordinary good. In his view, it would cost $200 for the ma.s.sage in the outpatient department in the hospital. Plus, w.a.n.g Yao had also supplied him with some medicines.
“Not expensive, not expensive,” the middle-aged man hurriedly said. He then gave w.a.n.g Yao the money. “Thanks.”
“You’re welcome,” w.a.n.g Yao replied. “You need to be more active. Don’t stay sedentary, but you still should not do too much.”
“Okay, I see.” The patient and his son then left the clinic.
“Dad, it’s like what I said to you,” the son said. “They charged $150 just for a ma.s.sage and some simple medicines. How black-hearted they are!”
“Ah, I won’t come again,” the middles-aged man said. He was distressed by the cost.
The reason they did not go to the hospital was that having the ultrasound testing and examination in the hospital would cost more. They thought the expense at the clinic would be lower. It never occurred to them that it would cost more than $100.
“They must be complaining,” Pan Jun said in the clinic.
“Ah,” w.a.n.g Yao said with a smile.
His hearing was extraordinary, even beyond the imagination of common people. In fact, he could partly hear the conversation of the father and his son. w.a.n.g Yao thought, Was it expensive? Not really. It was actually rather cheap.
“They could never be satisfied,” Pan Jun said. “You should not let them bother you.”
“Never mind,” w.a.n.g Yao replied.
However, he was fooling himself if he said he would not take it seriously. Who would want complaints and blames after making such a great effort, especially doctors who wished to relieve patients’ pain by the difference they made? But, the relations.h.i.+p between doctors and patients was complex.
“When do you think when I could learn about ma.s.sage?” Pan Jun asked.
“Have you recognized all acupoints, channels and collaterals?” w.a.n.g Yao responded.
“Almost all,” Pan Jun replied.
“Good, let me give you a test,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “Is it an acupoint?” He readily touched the back of Pan Jun’s head with his finger.
“Ah, it is fengchi point,” Pan Jun said.
“What about here?” w.a.n.g Yao touched his chest in the front with his finger again.
“Tanzhong point,” Pan Jun said.
w.a.n.g Yao continuously asked him several dozens of acupoints, which Pan Jun could accurately recognized.
“Jiuwei point. Juque point.”
“Not bad,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
Though Pan Jun had some knowledge base and had recently made great efforts, it was not quite enough.
“You need to read these books first.” w.a.n.g Yao took out two medical books, both of which were about ma.s.sage. “I have made some marks for emphasis. Part of the content was wrong, which I also marked.”
w.a.n.g Yao had read these books carefully several times. He had found that some of the content was not accurate, so he had marked and modified it.
“Okay, thanks,” Pan Jun replied.
Sun Yunsheng came in while they were talking. He was supporting an old man.
“Can you get out of the bed?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“Ah, I arrived at the gate in my wheelchair,” Uncle Lin said.
“You don’t look too bad,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “Do you feel better?”
“Much better,” Uncle Lin said.
“Come on, let me give you a check.” The old man was still under recovery, which might be relevant to the body base he made when practicing martial arts. “Good.”
It was said that one would have to rest for 100 days if one hurt their bones and tendons. The old man had hurt both his bones and his tendons, so he needed more time to recuperate.
“I have one more thing to tell you,” Sun Yunsheng said.
“What’s up?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“These are the buildings we are planning to develop in Lianshan.” Sun Yunsheng took out a map and showed it to w.a.n.g Yao.
As compensation for the incident, Sun Zhengrong’s company would invest in Lianshan to build a machinery and equipment processing center. Meanwhile, it would develop a commercial residential building in a good district in Lianshan. His real estate company itself was rather famous.
Since it was such a big group, the county would certainly give it full support. The building’s district was very good. There had been a company there, but it was now bankrupted. It had many problems, including payment to workers and their settlement allowance. This was not a big problem for Sun Zhengrong. He solved it by just waving his hand, which made the county leaders happy.
Under the top-ranking professional teams and the support from the county, their efficiency was excellent. They had already cleared the dilapidated factories and carted away the brick rubbish. Now, they were finis.h.i.+ng the design and planning. The layout of the neighborhood was beautiful and included two small top buildings
“This building is for you,” Sun Yunsheng said, pointing to the building located in the best place.
“What?” w.a.n.g Yao was shocked.
“G.o.d!” Pan Jun was stunned. He had heard of people sending gifts, and maybe even a house, but never a building.
In a small county even less than seven-tier cities, the housing prices in Lianshan were not high. But, a whole building’s price was very high since it could contain 80 to 100 households. If the average price of one house was $500,000. The sum in total would be $40 to $50 million.
Pan Jun could not help sighing and thinking, How freaking awesome is my master?
“I don’t need that.” w.a.n.g Yao refused him decisively.
“If your relatives or friends want to buy a house, please let me know,” Sun Yunsheng said.
“Ah, thanks,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
Sun Yunsheng helped Uncle Lin up and left after a small talk.
“You even know people with too much wealth! I never heard gifts could be sent in this way!” Pan Jun sighed.
“They are indeed wealthy.” w.a.n.g Yao drank some tea calmly.
“Wait, are they the Suns from Dao?” Pan Jun suddenly remembered the things mentioned by his colleagues a few days ago.
“Yes,” w.a.n.g Yao replied.
“Alas, where’s my mind at? The matter would be easy,” Pan Jun said.
“What matter?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“The famous doctor selection,” Pan Jun said. “Manger Sun is a G.o.d of wealth in the county. All the leaders must treat him seriously, so his words must be useful!”
“He?” w.a.n.g Yao pondered what he heard a few moments. “I see.”
“Are you free tonight? What about having supper together?” Pan Jun asked.
“No thanks,” w.a.n.g Yao replied.
“OK. Before it gets too late, I better head back,” Pan Jun said.
“Be careful on your way,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
Pan Jun got into his car and started driving. He stopped when he drove to the middle of the village.
“No, I have to say something.” He parked his car on the side, got out, and went to the new Sun house.
“Dr. Pan, what’s up?” Sun Yunsheng had seen him once or twice, so he knew who he was.
“I have something to tell you,” Pan Jun said. He then told him that w.a.n.g Yao wanted to be selected as a famous doctor.
“Really?” Sun Yunsheng was surprised.
“Yes, I heard it from him,” Pan Jun said. “But, the quota is limited for people out of the system like him. There are only two places in the whole county.”
Sun Yunsheng took a deep breath after hearing his words.
“What, is it difficult?” Pan Jun asked seeing his reaction.
“No,” Sun Yunsheng said and smiled.
It was not difficult. On the contrary, he felt it was too easy. It could be done as long as there was one sentence from his father. But, what did Dr. w.a.n.g want from this?
Reputation! A twinkle lit up in his eyes. If he did not want the benefits, then he must like the reputation.
