Chapter 4 One Million Yuan A Year
1853 Words
"No problem! But I need silver needles." Declan said confidently.
"I have!" The director of Genesis General Hospital took out his own silver needles and handed it to Declan.
In fact, Declan did not need silver needles at all. He only needed his golden finger. But there were so many big shots in the medical field watching him. He could not just touch the girl with his finger and said that he had cured her illness. So Declan wanted to use acupuncture as a cover. Although he studied modern medicine, he learned acupuncture from the villagers in his hometown near the countryside.
Declan inserted the needles into the girl's acupuncture points and used his golden finger to treat the infection in her body. Ten minutes later, Declan felt that the energy in his body was running out. His face turned pale, and he started sweating profusely.
"Phew! It's done!" Seeing the girl spit out a lot of black and sticky liquid, Declan breathed a sigh of relief and said while he pulled out the silver needles from the girl's body.
The girl opened her eyes and colour began to re-appear on her face. She smiled and said, "Dad, I don't feel any pain anymore!"
The middle-aged man hugged his daughter, with tears streaming down his face!
"Sir, my saviour! Thank you!" The man instantly knelt down in front of Declan.
Declan helped him up hurriedly. He could not accept this gesture. A man could only kneel to his own parents. How could someone kneel to him?
"Sir, please get up quickly. I'm just giving her a simple treatment. You'd better take her to the hospital for an examination. Here's some money." Declan gritted his teeth and took out his remaining 200 yuan and gave it to the man. The man was very grateful.
"The illness has been cured. Congratulations, you may take your daughter to our hospital for a check-up. All the expenses will be covered by our hospital!" The director of Genesis General Hospital said to the man with a smile, and the man was even happier.
The man with glasses in the crowd had already run away when he saw that the situation was not favorable to himself. Declan looked around and did not find him, so he just let it be. Anyway, he knew where the guy used to distribute his leaflets.
"Young man, your medical skills are very good! Are you here to apply for a job? Have you found a job?" Old Master Chiao was very fond of Declan. He walked up to Declan and asked him with a smile.
Declan shrugged helplessly and said, "I didn't manage to find one. I only have a high school graduate. I was admitted to a medical university, but I dropped out. There's no hospital that wants me."
"How about I invite you to work at my son's hospital? The annual salary of the attending doctor is one million yuan!" Old Master Chiao invited Declan with a smile.
"How... How much is the annual salary?" Declan almost passed out. One million yuan per year? That was almost ninety thousand yuan a month! In the past, Declan's salary at the Sky Hope Hospital was only five or six thousand yuan a month. After paying for his rent and deducting some money for food and other monthly expenses, there was not much left every month. Now it was a dozen times more!
Old Master Chiao said with a smile, "This is just the beginning. When you accomplish more in the hospital, the salary will increase again."
As he spoke, Old Master Chiao made a phone call. After five or six minutes, a group of people rushed over from the interview room. The leader was President Chiao from Chiao's Hospital, the beautiful woman whom Declan had bumped into before.
"Grandpa, why are you here?" Susan Chiao asked Old Master Chiao in surprise.
Declan did not expect that Susan was the granddaughter of Old Master Chiao, and she also did not expect that Declan was here. Moreover, he was standing next to her grandfather with a hint of contempt in his eyes. She had seen many bumpkins like Declan before, with not much capability yet harbored bad intentions. It was obvious that he was not a good person.
"Susan, this young lad here has very good medical skills at such a young age. Isn't your hospital short of doctors? Let him be an attending doctor in your hospital," Old Master Chiao said to his granddaughter with a smile.
"Him? An attending doctor in our hospital?" Susan looked at her grandfather with a surprised face. Had her grandfather lost his mind? This guy obviously had no qualifications and he looked like he came from an underground clinic. Chiao's Hospital was the best hospital in the city. The attending doctors in their hospital were all department directors in other hospitals. They were all doctors who obtained their medical qualifications from the United States or from European countries. How could this bumpkin be compared to them?
However, Old Master Chiao's attitude was very determined. He said to Susan, "Well, I have already promised Declan on this matter. Please arrange it."
"Okay," Susan promised, but rolled her eyes at Declan. She had to obey her grandfather's words, but it was impossible for Declan to stay in their hospital. What kind of medical skills did that bumpkin know? When he could not perform later, he would be fired in less than two days, and by then her grandfather could no longer say anything on this matter.
Old Master Chiao felt very sorry and said to Declan, "Declan, it's really a pity to let you just be an attending doctor. With your ability, you can definitely take a higher position."
Declan did not expect that Old Master Chiao would think so highly of him. The annual salary of one million yuan really made Declan very happy. He knew that with this golden finger, he would never live an ordinary life from now on!
When Declan returned home, it was already dark. He carefully confirmed that the lights in Ivanna's room were out, then only he crept upstairs.
"Ivanna had surely gone to bed at this time, right..." Declan quietly fished out the keys from his pocket and opened the door. He was afraid that Ivanna would confront him after what happened just now during the day.
But it was more likely to occur If we were afraid of something to happen. As Declan opened the door, Ivanna's door next door also opened.
Ivanna was wearing a pair of denim shorts with a blue T-shirt, which set off her slim figure. In an instant, the picture of what happened in the bathroom came to Declan's mind.
When Declan saw Ivanna's cold face, Declan said awkwardly, "Ivanna, are you going out at such a late hour?"
"Yeah, I'm going to work," Ivanna replied coldly.
"Going to work? Ivanna, aren't you working at the cosmetics company? Why do you have to work at night?" Declan suddenly frowned and asked doubtfully. Declan had rented a house here for two years and she was already here when he moved in. Ivanna took good care of him and often sent him food. Declan had always treated her like a family member.
"There is no one supporting me. How can I make more money without working part-time?" Ivanna was obviously not in a good mood. She rolled her eyes at Declan and was about to leave.
Declan did not think about it and said, "I'll support you!"
Ivanna, who was already walking, suddenly stopped. She seemed to be quite touched but when she turned around and looked at Declan in his old and yellowed shirt, she said with a sad smile, "You? Hmm, you'd better take care of yourself first. I made dinner in the refrigerator. You can heat it up yourself. You know where the spare key is."
Declan hurried to tell Ivanna that he had found a new job.
"Ivanna, I'm now earning an annual salary of one million yuan. I can support you. You don't have to work so hard." Declan said firmly.
Ivanna looked at Declan in surprise with a trace of suspicion. Declan had always joked with her and said that he was going to make a fortune, so Ivanna did not believe that Chiao's Hospital would hire him and give him a million yuan as his annual salary. She knew exactly what happened to Declan for the past two years and how he dropped out of medical school. It was impossible.
"Okay, I know that you are nice to me. Have a good rest after dinner." After that, Ivanna turned around and left.
Declan muttered gloomily, "Is it really so unbelievable? If I had known earlier, I should have told Ivanna I won the lottery. She might be more convinced that way."
After dinner, Declan went to bed early. Tomorrow was his first day at Chiao's Hospital. He needed to replenish his energy and cherish this job with an annual salary of one million yuan.
Chiao's Hospital was the largest private hospital in the Province of Trance, and it was also one of the best hospitals in the province. It was also on par with Springhill Hospital of Seashore City in the medical field. They had the best medical equipment and staff here, even the medical environment here was of world-class standard.
Today, the doctors of Genesis General Hospital would come to Chiao's Hospital for a sharing. Although they said that it was a sharing, the truth was that the doctors from Genesis General Hospital came here to learn from the doctors here. Although Genesis General Hospital was also a large hospital in the city, it was nowhere in comparison with Chiao's Hospital.
"Jocelyn, Chiao's Hospital is the best hospital in the province. It's not easy for my father to get this opportunity for us to learn from them. So many people had fought for this opportunity yet I brought you here." Maxwell put his arms around Jocelyn's slim waist and said with a proud face.
Jocelyn also knew how precious this opportunity was. Chiao's Hospital was the hospital she had dreamed of entering, but it seemed that she would not have this opportunity in her life. It was known that Chiao's Hospital recruitment criteria were very strict. The junior doctor must be a high-caliber graduate who had graduated from a famous medical school in the country. A normal doctor must have a diploma from a world-class medical school, or the work experience of an attending doctor in one of the top hospital in the country. The position of an attending doctor in Chiao's Hospital was even harder to obtain. They had to obtain a master's degree from one of the world's best medical school or had the work experience of an attending doctor in a world-class hospital.
Based on Jocelyn's academic qualifications, she was at most qualified to be a junior doctor in Chiao's Hospital. However, she was afraid that she could not even obtain the position of a junior doctor.
