My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points-Chapter 144 - 99: Those Who Show Off Their Muscles Are Just for Show, Attitude is Mutual_3
That exquisite beauty's face became even clearer in Zhou Can's sight.
"No way! You're so beautiful, so outstanding, how is it possible that you don't have a boyfriend? I wouldn't be surprised if a line of men wanting to pursue you could wrap around the city three times."
Zhou Can found this hard to believe.
"Goose, goose, goose!"
She covered her mouth, laughing until she bent over.
"It's not as exaggerated as you say! Wrapping around the city three times, what, do you think I'm currency?"
"Hehe, I think you're even more popular with the gentlemen than currency."
Zhou Can noticed that her attitude was much warmer than last time.
It's often said that playing the hero to save the beauty is the fastest way to close the gap with a beautiful woman.
He used to think it was just a necessity for TV drama plots.

But now, after experiencing it himself, it seems to be true.
"Seriously, next time you go shopping late at night, it's better to have your assistant or agent help you. You're too beautiful, a disaster wherever you go."
Su Qianqian slightly furrowed her delicate nose and scolded, "Hmph! Do you always slander a lady like this?"
After her attitude warmed up a bit, Zhou Can's conversation with her became decidedly more humorous.
That's how people are, if you're too aloof, then everything is strictly business.
If you're a bit more approachable, the other person will become more amiable too.
When Tu Ya was an intern, Zhou Can had rotated through almost all the departments. At first, he didn't understand anything, had the best intentions for patients, but ended up in a thankless position. Scolded by senior doctors, groused at by patients.
Later, he learned to be smarter.
Patients who greeted him with smiles and were polite, he would take special care of. He couldn't be bothered to track some insignificant medical supplies.
But for those who'd question every single cotton swab or gauze, fearing they'd be fleeced, then sorry, even if it was just a piece of film or a few pieces of gauze, he would note down every material used.
Anyway, the cost list would come out the next morning, you just have to pay the bill.
Su Qianqian treated him like a potential thief last time, he didn't say it, but he took it to heart.
This time, when he came to return the keys, he kept the taxi receipt.
He was thinking of asking for a reimbursement after opening the door for her.
But with all this fuss, Zhou Can suddenly felt embarrassed to mention it.
Zhou Can took out the keys and unlocked the front door.
It was pitch-dark inside.
Late at night, he didn't dare to enter a female tenant's room rashly.
Instead, he stood gentlemanly outside the door, waiting for her to go in and turn on the lights.
"The inside is a bit messy, care to come in and sit for a bit?"
Her invitation was merely out of politeness.
"No need, no need. I have to work tomorrow, and it's not early, I need to hurry back and sleep." Zhou Can shook his head and declined. "Can you check where you put the keys? I need to take this set of spare keys back with me."
He pulled out the keys, standing outside and waiting.
It seemed like she was the only one living in this apartment.
The inside really was a bit messy, two stuffed bear dolls casually slumped on the living room sofa. The coffee table was scattered with snack wrappers and bottles.
She quickly walked into the inner room and soon walked back out.
"Hehe, found them, they were right on top of the nightstand. Maybe after taking a shower, I spontaneously wanted to go out and buy something, then forgot to bring them with me."
The stuff she went out to buy late at night, carried in a black plastic bag, seemed light.
Not very large in volume.
Zhou Can had a glance and had already guessed somewhat.
Female comrades always have those few uncomfortable days; sometimes 'relatives' arrive unexpectedly, and if there's no backup at home, it can catch one off guard.
One would have to make an emergency outing to purchase.
"Would it be okay to offer you a bottle of yogurt to drink? I don't have any other beverages at home."
She took out a bottle of Ambrosial yogurt from the fridge's safe layer and handed it to Zhou Can.
"Also, you coming in the middle of the night to deliver the keys to me by taxi, I'm really grateful. How much was the taxi fare? I'll transfer it to you."
She did know the courtesy of dealing with people.
She took the initiative to offer the money for Zhou Can.
From this point, you can at least tell that she is not the type to covet small advantages.
"Taxi fare one-way is 51 yuan, give me 100!" Zhou Can isn't short on money, but what should be collected must be collected.
In the middle of the night, he came to deliver the keys to her, which was already a huge favor.
Not being related in any way, it's impossible to also ask him to cover her taxi fare.
He wouldn't slobbery over her like a fawning dog just because she's a beautiful female celebrity.
His attitude towards her was no different from how he would treat any ordinary tenant.
"I sent you a red packet, please accept it! I'm really grateful for your help today."
She pressed her hands together, thanking Zhou Can with a bow.
Usually, people with some status like to use this gesture to express their gratitude.
Ordinary folks prefer to say thanks directly, or give some food, small gifts or the like.
Zhou Can opened the red packet, it was actually 150 yuan.
"You gave too much! Round trip would at most be 102 yuan."
No matter how you look at it, this female celebrity doesn't seem to be bad at math.
"The extra 48 yuan is my little token of appreciation, please have some fruit," she said with a smile.
This generous behavior increased Zhou Can's good impression of her a little more.
It's not a large amount of money, but it reveals a person's attitude towards money.
"100 is enough! I sent back the extra 50 to you, please check. Next time remember to bring your keys. Coming here from the hospital dormitory is really far. You would have been in trouble if it had been my night shift today."
Zhou Can is now following Dr. Xu; he does not have to work overtime, and he only does day shifts.
He is simply too fortunate.
Back when he was an intern, especially during his time in General Surgery, he once had continuous shifts that lasted a total of 36 hours.
The majority of the residents had it tougher than him.
But his good days probably won't last long.
Because the hospital requires residents to rotate through various departments relevant to their specialties.
Some key departments require at least three months of rotation.
If the attendance is insufficient, failing to graduate from the residency would be foolish.
Zhou Can had witnessed the consequences of not following protocol during his internship in General Surgery. There was a resident who reportedly arrived late and left early 18 times in a month. After being reported by the chief resident of the hospital, the director of General Surgery took that resident to the residency office for discharge on the same day.
After that, Zhou Can never saw him again.
That incident left a profound impression on him.
Even today, he is regarded as one of the more successful among the residents. Dean Zhu and Vice Dean Bai both have a good impression of him, and in crucial moments, he could even ask Vice Dean Bai for a favor.
Director Lou and Dr. Xu also take special care of him.
Moreover, Director Tan and Director Yin from Internal Medicine hold him in high regard.
For a resident to have so many high-level resources, an ordinary person might swagger around with their tail in the air.
But Zhou Can has never been arrogant.
He keeps a very low profile when interacting with others.
He firmly believes that only by keeping a low profile can one last long.
There have been too many talented people who were arrogant and offended important leaders, and as a result, ended up benched, frustrated and unsuccessful for a lifetime.
First be a good person before doing a good job.
This is a principle his parents taught him since he was a child.
After leaving Su Qianqian's place, he sat in the taxi, but his mind was curious about something. Not only does Su Qianqian now need to rent a place to live, but she also avoids mentioning issues of agents and assistants.
It feels like her career has likely been affected by that stage collapse incident and has slid into a slump.
Life is not easy for celebrities!
He really hopes she can get back on her feet soon.
He has listened to the album she gave many times.
He looks forward to when she can release a few new albums. He's eager for a change of pace.
