Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital-Chapter 423 - 363: Family (Part 2)

After all, North City No.1 Courtyard doesn’t have small apartments, so the prices that easily go up to twenty or thirty million are indeed daunting.

"Huh? North City No.1 Courtyard? Senior, you bought a house there?"

"Senior, you weren’t kept by someone, were you?"

Shu Xin was shocked and asked consecutively.

"What are you talking about, that kind of keeping nonsense, Dr. Zhao bought it with his own ability!"

Hearing what his niece said was absurd, Uncle Wang Yaoqing couldn’t help but say somewhat helplessly.

"From what I know, North City No.1 Courtyard doesn’t have small units, any place is several tens of millions. Senior, is being a doctor so lucrative now?"

Shu Xin asked somewhat confused.

"Ahem, for now, I’m just responsible for paying the mortgage."

Zhao Heng said with a bit of bashfulness.

"You mean your girlfriend paid the down payment? She’s really rich, huh."

Shu Xin suddenly realized, and she really said it right — this situation is just a step away from being kept.

If Zhao Heng himself weren’t capable, wouldn’t this be undoubtedly living off a woman?

"What do you know, Dr. Zhao will be able to afford one himself in the future. With this anesthesia assistant software, in less than three years from the dividends, a house in North City No.1 Courtyard can be bought."

Uncle Wang Yaoqing said.

This is also the reason why he is so attentive to Zhao Heng. Such a stable, high-income long-term project, if not for Zhao Heng, where else could he find such a good project?

Moreover, by leveraging this project, he has established certain cooperative relations with many hospitals in the company, which can also be seen as building connections, and might even start some other businesses in the future.

The more people you know, the wider the path naturally becomes, and Wang Yaoqing is very clear about this.

"Senior is really amazing!"

Shu Xin said with some awe.

No wonder she likes and admires Zhao Heng so much.

Compared to this, those guys chasing her are just too ordinary.

After having lunch with Wang Yaoqing and Shu Xin, Zhao Heng went to the company with Wang Yaoqing to hand over the clinical database, and it was already five in the afternoon after they finished.

Wang Yaoqing’s matters were finished, and originally, he suggested celebrating again at night, but since they already had lunch, Zhao Heng politely declined.

After leaving Wang Yaoqing’s company, Zhao Heng went to his father’s "Bench Noodle" shop near the food street by the hospital.

When he arrived, it was about half-past five, just in time for off-hours, so there were still quite a few people eating noodles.

Speaking of Zhao’s father’s "Bench Noodles", because of its large portions, fair prices, and tastiness, coupled with the very local characteristic name "Bench Noodles", this shop has almost become a check-in point on the food street.

Of course, to reinforce this uniqueness, Zhao’s father renovated the shop in the style of his youth and bought benches with a vintage feel to place outside the store, with tableware trying to match that era as well.

This way, those coming to eat or visit would see everyone holding big bowls and sitting on benches with a vintage look to eat noodles, which seemed like a fun scene.

Before they knew it, the shop carved out its own style.

Seeing the busy shop, Zhao Heng stepped up to help when he noticed his parents weren’t there, only his cousin Zhao Juan was busy.

"Bro, why are you here?"

Cousin Zhao Juan was surprised to see Zhao Heng arrive while she was called to help out.

Because of Zhao Heng, Zhao Juan’s husband got a job as a caregiver at Eastern Hospital. Although it’s tough and tiring, the pay is pretty decent, and both of them are quite satisfied.

To manage the pick-up and drop-off of her two kids, Zhao Juan chose to help out at Zhao’s father’s noodle shop, and the pay there was also quite good.

Zhao Juan never thought that they originally came to North City for medical treatment, and now both she and her husband found satisfying jobs and are doing quite well.

In a few years, they could save some money and return home to start a small business.

In Zhao Juan’s eyes, all of this was thanks to her cousin Zhao Heng.

"Finished my work, so I came over to take a look."

Zhao Heng smiled and said.

Cousin Zhao Juan, who has always taken good care of him since they were little, almost treats him like her little brother. In Zhao Heng’s eyes, Zhao Juan embodies all the virtues of traditional women.

She is hardworking and persistent, capable at home and able to earn outside, with a good personality.

"Oh my, let me do it, you as a doctor shouldn’t be doing this kind of work."

Said Zhao Juan as she saw Zhao Heng wiping tables and collecting dishes with a cloth.

Ever since her husband started at Eastern Hospital as a caregiver, she learned that her little cousin had become a deputy director of some center, practically becoming a big shot within the hospital.

At the hospital, having Zhao Heng as a relative meant they also took good care of her husband, assigning him well-paying and manageable tasks.

"This is my family’s shop, so who else but me?"

Zhao Heng smiled and continued working.

Zhao Heng didn’t have any airs of so-called successful people; they were all laborers, so there was nothing he couldn’t do.

Hearing this, Zhao Juan, who initially felt nervous about her now successful little cousin Zhao Heng, immediately felt relieved.

From this sentence, she knew that her cousin hadn’t changed—it was still the same him from their childhood.

"Sis, how’s brother-in-law doing as a caregiver now?"

Zhao Heng asked while working.

This brother-in-law had returned after serving in the military, but didn’t get assigned any job. Zhao Heng knew him as a diligent person.

Otherwise, Zhao Heng wouldn’t have introduced him so easily.

"He’s doing great, your brother-in-law is very satisfied."

Cousin Zhao Juan quickly replied.

"Should I talk to the hospital and let brother-in-law work as security, as it’s more aligned with his expertise?"

Zhao Heng thought and suggested. Given his current status and position at Eastern Hospital, getting a person into the security department would only take a word, and the deputy director in charge would definitely do Zhao Heng this favor.

"No, no, being a caregiver earns more than security."

Cousin Zhao Juan quickly said.

Now, the couple wants to earn more money, and being a caregiver definitely pays more than security. After all, taking care of patients as a caregiver is sometimes exhausting, while security is more about watching the entrance, a relatively easy task.

Moreover, according to her husband, Eastern Hospital offers the best caregiver treatment in the industry, and getting in is very competitive without connections.

Therefore, Zhao Juan is very satisfied with their current situation.

"Alright, if brother-in-law has any issues at the hospital, he can come directly to me,"

Zhao Heng nodded and said.

Initially, he thought his brother-in-law, being a veteran, should work as a security guard since it matched his expertise, but being a caregiver earns more, which he did not expect.

While Zhao Heng and Zhao Juan were busy, Zhao’s father and Zhao’s mother returned.

Seeing Zhao Heng busying himself, Zhao’s father had a genuine smile on his face.

Zhao’s mother, however, came to Zhao Heng’s side, starting to work while asking, "Son, is the house deal confirmed?"

"Yes, it’s settled, it’s that unit in North City No.1 Courtyard,"

Zhao Heng nodded and replied.

"The house is nice, but it’s too expensive. We have to handle the future mortgage ourselves,"

Zhao’s mother said with a mix of joy and concern as soon as she heard the house was settled. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

A house so costly that even the down payment required a lot, yet his girlfriend decided without batting an eyelid.

The old couple originally thought about running this shop to help out their son a bit and lighten his burden.

Unexpectedly, their son went ahead and bought such a nice and expensive house.

This made the old couple feel as if they hadn’t contributed much to their son’s house purchase.

Back home, when their child buys a house, it’s customary for the parents to offer some support.

"Won’t Man Ni’s family have any objections?"

Pausing, Zhao’s mother asked with some worry.

"It’s fine, we’ve discussed it all, and besides, in a year or two, I can buy this house myself, just getting it a bit early now,"

Zhao Heng said.

It’s always nice to have some support, and Zhao Heng doesn’t stubbornly insist on only buying a house when he has money.

He also understands what Xu Man Ni is thinking, that by buying a place now mostly covered by her, she will feel more at ease later.

After all, who would have thought Zhao Heng’s rise would be this swift?
