From small clinic to medical empire

Chapter 19 Rent
After turning off WeChat, Zhang Zifan hadn't eaten a few mouthfuls of wontons when the second landlord called again.

Zhang Zifan lives in a group rental house, which means an apartment of about [-] square feet is artificially divided into about ten rooms, which are then rented out separately.

Those who run this kind of group rental housing are usually second-time landlords, that is, people who package and rent rough houses from the original owners and then renovate and rent them out themselves.

He called Zhang Zifan to confirm whether the lease would be renewed next month, and Zhang Zifan said he would get back to him later.

Originally, the second landlord was not so easy to talk to, so it was impossible to press Zhang Zifan until the last day of the month.

However, since the second landlord's wife had a mixed tumor of the parotid gland last year, which was removed at Fuyi Dental Center, although Zhang Zifan was not the chief surgeon, he still helped a little, so he was extra polite to Zhang Zifan.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Zifan opened the local forum.

With the popularity of various self-media, local forums that were very popular ten years ago have lost their popularity.

However, there is one exception, and that is the rental information section.

Since he had been cheated by a rogue agent once before, Zhang Zifan was used to looking for housing through local forums and then contacting the landlord directly.

Originally I was just looking around, but I actually found a very suitable house in the Hehe Community not far away.

……

The night in early spring still came very early. When Zhang Zifan finished eating wontons, the sky was already dark, but the neon lights in the world were lit up.

This enchanted night fire shines brighter than the stars in the sky.

After coming to S City for more than three years, Zhang Zifan is still not familiar with this city, especially its nights.

Zhang Zifan's impression of the night in this city is either the night light outside the window of the rental house, or the red emergency cross outside the window of the duty room.

Zhang Zifan himself is a person who doesn't like to be lively. Instead of enriching his nightlife and going to nightclubs for entertainment, he prefers to stay quietly in the house alone.

Read novels, surf the Internet, look up literature, go to Zaan to greet old friends, and the whole day passes.

Zhang Zifan likes this kind of life, or in other words, the traditional virtue (poverty) of the Chinese nation makes him have to get used to this kind of life.

The high-rise buildings on both sides of the street were brightly lit, and Zhang Zifan was a little stunned, feeling that he was so out of place with them.

Zhang Zifan's family is an ordinary family, with no bitterness, deep hatred, or rich family. It is the most common family in small cities in China.

Both parents are workers, have experienced layoffs and re-employment, and have worked hard all their lives without much savings. It is already the most amazing thing to train a son to become a talent.

And Zhang Zifan himself is also so ordinary.

Perhaps many people think that becoming an attending physician in a provincial tertiary hospital is already a perfect life, at least for the middle class.

But in fact, in City S, where the average salary of the whole city is nearly 30 yuan, the annual income of grassroots civil servants is [-] million yuan, the house price in the city center is more than [-] yuan, and the average price in the suburbs is close to [-] yuan. Zhang Zifan is so small and humble. ordinary.

A week ago, his biggest goal was to buy a small house of his own in the suburbs, find a compatible woman to have a child, and then work peacefully in the system until retirement.

But now, Zhang Zifan finds that he has already jumped out of his comfort zone and embarked on a different path, but he has not yet found a new goal.

"Handsome guy, give way, hurry up!"

At this time, a delivery boy was carrying a bag, apologizing, squeezing Zhang Zifan away, and rushing into a hotel in a hurry.

This made Zhang Zifan seem to have returned to the days of the night shift in the emergency department. The difference is that the doctors are racing against death, and the delivery boy is racing against bad reviews.

Some people say that the takeaway boy is the savior of the programmer, but in fact the takeaway boy is also the savior of the doctor on duty, so Zhang Zifan never gives bad reviews to the savior, because they have worked very hard.

Looking at the benefactor's distressed figure, Zhang Zifan suddenly wanted to laugh, not at the delivery guy, but at himself starting to float.

Do not forget the original intention...

This word makes my ears feel calluses, but in fact this is the answer I am really looking for!

Zhang Zifan remembered what his mentor Professor Li Hui said when he picked up the scalpel for the first time:

"Nowadays, many people regard medical care as a business, and regard making money as more important than treating diseases, but at the same time, many people regard medical care as charity, and regard doctors as saints who do not need to eat or buy houses.

Zifan, you should never be the first type of person, but don’t feel aggrieved when the second type of person questions you. Remember, as long as doctors make money with conscience, they can bring happiness to the people. "

……

Hemu Community is a garden-style community built around 2000. Most of the houses are row houses, and there are also a few villas.

Although there is no elevator or underground garage, it is different from the Tongzilou in the 90s. The greenery here is very good, with green trees and birds singing everywhere, making it very suitable for living.

The landlord Zhang Zifan contacted before was surnamed Lu. Her house is a small three-story row house. The first two floors are 30 square meters, and the third floor is only more than [-] square meters. The remaining area is a large terrace and a sun room.

And what she wants to rent out is the house of more than 30 square meters.

"Hello, I said before that I wanted to rent a house..."

Halfway through the conversation, Zhang Zifan and the landlady who opened the door were stunned at the same time.

"Doctor Zhang!"

"Miss Lu?"

Some things in the world are so coincidental. It turned out that the landlord, Ms. Lu, was the eldest sister who brought her child to the clinic for impacted teeth surgery.

"Oh, what a coincidence, Dr. Zhang, come in!"

Sister Lu warmly greeted Zhang Zifan to come in, and Liu Xiaonan, who was reviewing her homework, also ran out.

"Thanks to you, Doctor Zhang, after returning from the clinic, I learned about it on the Internet, so I realized how lucky I am!
Xiaonan, our senior in high school this year, will take the college entrance examination in more than two months. What if the wisdom teeth pop out and cause damage, causing inflammation or something? "

The corner of Liu Xiaonan's jaw was still slightly swollen, after all, it was a bone cutting operation, and it would be very difficult in less than half a month.

However, such postoperative reactions were already very small. Zhang Zifan checked with the light of his mobile phone, and the little girl's wounds healed very well.

"Go, go, since Dr. Zhang said it's fine, why don't you go back and read quickly!"

Sister Lu drove Xiao Nan back to the house, and then said: "Doctor Zhang, I'll go upstairs to clean up. The temperature will cool down in the next two days, and I will give you an extra bed quilt!"

Zhang Zifan scratched his head and said, "Sister Lu, we haven't signed the contract yet! Besides, there's no need to bother the landlord to tidy up the house!"

"Where else are you going to rent? My house here is big and it's close to your clinic. If you don't live here, where will you live? As for the rent, you can pay it!"

After speaking, Sister Lu went upstairs vigorously.

Zhang Zifan stayed where he was, dumbfounded. He didn't even move his suitcase or bring a change of clothes!

……

After all, it was only then that Sister Lu dispelled the idea of ​​immediately driving Zhang Zifan to carry the luggage with him. Zhang Zifan took the subway back to his hut next to the No. [-] Hospital for the last night.

Sister Lu said that the rent can be paid at will, but of course Zhang Zifan can't really do that, he still has to pay according to the market price.

I have to save money to buy a house, and others have to pay for my daughter to study, right?
But Sister Lu's family is probably not short of money, as I can tell from the Porsche parked downstairs.

Sister Lu originally said that she would drive that Porsche to help Zhang Zifan move, but Zhang Zifan felt that sitting in the co-driver of the Porsche must look like a little boy who didn't want to work harder.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Zhang Zifan took two trolley suitcases and left the place where he had lived for more than three years, embarking on another journey in his life.
