The world of film and television begins from childhood

"Furnace operator."

"Oh, that's right, that's right. Although working on the production line is hard, it's also a good place to hone your skills. By the way, what's the matter with you coming to see me today?"

Zhou Chen didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "Director, I came to see you because I want to transfer my position."

"Transfer position?"

When Director Yang heard this, he immediately frowned. He had just said that the production line was a good place to hone people, and the next sentence Zhou Chen said was to transfer the position. What did he mean?

"Xiao Zhou, you can't just change your position in this factory. You just started working and you may not understand the factory's rules. You can't change your position casually."

Zhou Chen explained calmly: "Director, the reason why I want to change my position is not because I am dissatisfied with my current position, but mainly because I feel that my current position cannot bring out my strengths."

"Can't use your strengths?"

Director Yang, who was dissatisfied, looked surprised and said, "Then tell me, what are your specialties?"

If it were any other employee, he would not have the patience to say so much. The main reason was that Zhou Chen was taking over his father's shift and had just started working. He was afraid that Zhou Chen would make trouble, so he took care of him.

"To be honest with you, Director, my specialty is healing. When my grandfather was alive, he was a traveling doctor and left behind many medical books. I have loved reading them since I was a child. Later, I joined the army and learned how to heal from the military doctors. I think my medical skills are pretty good."

"I went to the factory clinic a few days ago and found that there was a shortage of doctors there, so I wanted to change my position. I think working in the clinic would better reflect my value than being a heating furnace operator."

"Can you see a doctor?"

Director Yang looked skeptical. He really didn't believe it. He had read Zhou Chen's information and found that he was less than 25 years old. How could such a young man have any good medical skills?

Zhou Chen said, "Director, I know that what I said is just empty talk, but if you want to know whether I know how to treat a disease, it's actually very simple. I can do it right now. Director, if you don't mind, I can take your pulse and determine your physical condition. You must be the one who knows your own physical condition best."

When Director Yang heard this, he immediately became interested and said with a smile: "What you said is quite interesting. Well, since you want to try it, then I will let you try it."

Then he stood up from the chair, walked to the sofa and sat down, then asked Zhou Chen to sit down, handed his hand to Zhou Chen, and asked Zhou Chen to take his pulse.

Zhou Chen didn't hesitate to take the lead and started to take Director Yang's pulse.

He had thought carefully about changing his job. Anyway, he didn't want to be a heating furnace operator anymore, and he had no interest in other jobs in the production workshop. He also didn't want to be a cadre in the factory, so he chose the major he was best at.

doctor!

With his medical skills, being a small factory doctor is definitely a waste of talent, but this is the reason why it suits him better and he can feel relaxed and stress-free.

Moreover, doctors are also divided into grades. They can be promoted to higher grades at a faster rate, and their salaries are no worse than those of front-line workers, so they have more room for promotion.

Although times are different now, he is a skilled doctor and is confident that he can convince the factory director that there will be absolutely no problem in him becoming a factory doctor.

Chapter 889: Successful transfer and returning to old job

Director Yang looked relaxed and did not take Zhou Chen's words to heart. Although he asked Zhou Chen to take his pulse, he wanted Zhou Chen to give up more.

He believed that Zhou Chen had read medical books and studied medicine, but medical skills were not something that could be mastered simply by reading and studying. It still depended more on experience.

And how old is Zhou Chen? Even if he has been studying medicine since he was a child, how many years has it been?

The clinic in their steel rolling mill is not a hospital. What they need is a doctor who can start working right away. It's not like a hospital where they have to spend time training you. That's why he doesn't think highly of Zhou Chen.

What he was thinking about now was how to make Zhou Chen accept his current job without resentment.

He is a responsible factory director. Although Zhou Chen is just an ordinary worker in the steel mill, he still hopes that Zhou Chen can integrate into the big family of the steel mill.

The country has just been stable for more than a decade, and the national strength has begun to recover slowly. There is no shortage of people who are dedicated to their work across the country, and Director Yang is one of them.

As the director of a steel mill, he wanted to expand the mill and provide the workers with a better life.

Zhou Chen is still young and has served in the army. His father has also made contributions to the factory, so he is still very optimistic about Zhou Chen and hopes that Zhou Chen will become a useful person to the factory, society, and the country, rather than becoming an ambitious and lazy person.

After Zhou Chen withdrew his hand, Director Yang asked with a smile: "You can even take my pulse. It seems that you studied Chinese medicine. How is it? Can you see what's wrong with my body?"

Zhou Chen said calmly, "Director, judging from your pulse, you are a little short of energy and blood. It's probably because you've been overworked recently and haven't had enough rest. But this is just a minor problem. The more serious problems you have are in your stomach and liver."

Director Yang's face suddenly changed, because what Zhou Chen said was correct. He was indeed tired recently, occasionally felt dizzy, and had some problems with his diet.

But he still wasn't completely convinced.

"You said my stomach and liver are not in good condition. Please tell me more about it."

Zhou Chen said: "Director, your stomach has been in trouble for many years, right? Do you take stomach medicine often?"

Director Yang didn't say anything, but his eyes changed.

"As for your liver, Director, I'm telling you the truth. Your liver is the biggest problem. You have hepatitis and cirrhosis. Am I right?"

Director Yang's expression changed completely, and he asked solemnly, "Did you really diagnose these by feeling my pulse? Did you not hear them from others?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Director, I just came back from the army less than 20 days ago, and I have only seen you twice in total. How can I inquire about your condition? Isn't that right?"

Director Yang nodded. He began to believe Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen knew so much about his body from just taking his pulse for a few minutes. This was much better than any doctor he had seen before. Those doctors needed to do tests and diagnoses to know so much.

"Xiao Zhou, are you studying Chinese medicine?"

Zhou Chen replied: "I learned Chinese medicine from my grandfather, and later I was exposed to Western medicine in the army. I am not bragging. I actually know a little about both Chinese and Western medicine. This is why I am confident in asking the factory director to transfer me to another position."

"So, are my illnesses easy to cure?"

"Insufficient Qi and blood and gastrointestinal problems are not difficult to treat. If you believe me, I will prescribe a prescription for you later. If you follow the prescription and boil the medicine, it will be effective in half a month. As for the liver, it is not so easy. The liver needs to be nourished. It is best to drink less, stay up less late, and eat less greasy food. I will also prescribe some Chinese medicinal food for you. If you take it for a long time, it will have a very good effect."

Chinese medicine treatment is not as fast as Western medicine treatment. It is basically about nourishing the body and correcting the overall disorder of the body.

Especially for chronic diseases, the treatment effect of traditional Chinese medicine is often better than that of Western medicine.

Director Yang said, "Other doctors have mentioned these things to me. Is there anything else besides these?"

"Director, the conditioning methods I mentioned are all conventional means. The most important thing is the prescription I made. That is the treatment method. As long as the director follows my prescription and prescribes the right medicine for the condition, you will definitely find the difference."

Although Zhou Chen didn't know what kind of doctor Director Yang was seeing, he was confident enough that his prescriptions were definitely better than those doctors'.

After all, he has only lived in the world of Langya Bang for a few decades, and what he has been exposed to is real Chinese medicine. His current level of Chinese medicine is definitely first-class in the country.

Director Yang found that Zhou Chen's words were very convincing and trusted him even more. Based on his ability to read people's expressions, he felt that Zhou Chen would not lie to him.

So he quickly made a decision in his mind.

"How about this, Xiao Zhou? I can let you be an apprentice in the clinic first. You can learn from the doctor and give you half a month. If you can adapt to the clinic and get the doctor's approval, I can agree to transfer you to the clinic."

If Zhou Chen is really capable of being a good doctor, it would be a good thing for the factory, and Director Yang would certainly not object.

"But if after half a month, you haven't adapted, and the doctor at the clinic says you can't do it, then you have to go back to your original position."

"Thank you, Director. I will definitely not let you down."

Although life was hard in this era and there were many bad things, there were also good things.

Just like at this moment, if it were a few decades later, and he, a newly hired junior employee, went to his boss to ask for a job transfer, I'm afraid this would not be the conversation that awaits him.

So, the working class in this era is really good. Even ordinary workers are qualified to put forward their own demands.

Zhou Chen then wrote down two prescriptions for Director Yang, and then went to the Personnel Department with the note approved by Director Yang.

The people in the Personnel Department were very surprised to see Zhou Chen coming again, and he brought a note from the factory director. They all secretly wondered if this man was a relative of the factory director, otherwise why would he take such good care of him.

Zhou Chen heard some of the discussions of those people, but did not take it to heart. It was not a bad thing for him anyway.

Zhou Chen first went back to the production workshop, explained the situation to the workshop director, and left the workshop amid the other party's astonished gaze.

Other people in the workshop were also surprised to learn that Zhou Chen had been transferred to another position.

Although Zhou Chen had only been here for a dozen days, he had already gotten along well with everyone. No one had expected that in just a dozen days, Zhou Chen would have transformed himself and changed his identity.

After leaving the workshop, Zhou Chen went straight to the factory's health room.

Because it is a large factory with thousands of employees and is still a state-owned factory, it has all kinds of supporting facilities and can barely be considered a small hospital.

The health center does not have all the doctors in the hospital, but it also has three doctors, as well as some medical and pharmacy staff.

Among the three doctors, two are Western medicine practitioners and one is a Chinese medicine practitioner. Although the country is still relatively backward, injections and intravenous drips are already commonly available. What's more, this is the capital, which is more developed than other cities and has no shortage of Western medicine.

However, Zhou Chen had observed before that Western medicine in China is not as developed as it will be in the future. Perhaps Western medicine is more effective and more people seek treatment.

But there are also many people who seek Chinese medicine treatment, especially some middle-aged and elderly people in the factory, most of them choose to see Chinese medicine.

At present, Chinese people have a relatively high degree of recognition of traditional Chinese medicine. Another point is that Western medicine at this time is relatively expensive, and many people are naturally afraid of needles, so they would rather take Chinese medicine than see a Western doctor for injections or intravenous drips.

When Zhou Chen went to the health center, he was assigned to sit next to the Chinese medicine doctor, so Zhou Chen went straight to the Chinese medicine doctor.

"You said you were a heating furnace operator before, and the factory manager transferred you here?"

The Chinese medicine doctor in the clinic was named Wu Yuejie. When he learned about Zhou Chen's previous job, he was stunned.

I've seen people change careers, but I've never seen such a big change. A production line worker becomes a doctor. Are you sure you're not trying to be funny?

"Yes, Doctor Wu, I have just been in the factory for half a month. The factory director didn't know that I knew medical skills, so he arranged me to work in the production workshop. In fact, I have been learning Chinese medicine since I was a child. If Doctor Wu doesn't believe me, you can test me."

Zhou Chen was neither humble nor arrogant. He had the ability, so he was naturally not afraid of being tested.

When Doctor Wu saw Zhou Chen's confident look, he hesitated a little. Is he really confident?

Whether it was true or not would be known after a try, so he immediately put forward several more targeted knowledge points of traditional Chinese medicine.

In response to Dr. Wu's questions, Zhou Chen answered in an orderly manner. Since Dr. Wu asked some relatively simple questions, he answered them very easily.

Doctor Wu's questions became more and more tricky, and finally he simply brought up a few case studies and asked Zhou Chen to come up with treatment plans, but this still did not stump Zhou Chen.

Half an hour later, Wu Yuejie no longer had the doubt he had before, but instead looked at Zhou Chen in shock.

"Doctor Wu, do you think I am qualified to stay in the clinic?"

Wu Yuejie took a breath and said, "You are qualified, but theory is just theory after all. The most important thing for a doctor is practice. Since the director asked you to come, you should stay first, but I need to observe you for a while before deciding whether you can stay."

Although he is just a factory doctor in the steel rolling mill, he has worked in the steel rolling mill for more than ten years. He is an indispensable part of the factory and has relatively much power in the clinic.

In this way, Zhou Chen stayed in the clinic and became an apprentice doctor, but if he wanted to become a full-time doctor, he still needed to be examined.

In a blink of an eye, Zhou Chen had been in the clinic for four days.

On the first day, Wu Yuejie just asked Zhou Chen to follow him and learn, but on the third day, they had changed positions. Zhou Chen started the treatment and Doctor Wu watched from behind.

In two days, Zhou Chen saw dozens of patients and not a single one was wrong.

This already surprised Doctor Wu, but what surprised him even more was that he found that most of Zhou Chen's treatment plans were actually better than what he had thought of.

Gradually, he discovered that Zhou Chen did not seem like a novice. Instead, he was more like an experienced old doctor than him. Not only was he able to diagnose accurately, but he was also incredibly efficient.

Doctor Wu was amazed but also a little frustrated. He had been practicing medicine for twenty years, but he was not as good as Zhou Chen, a young man who was just starting out.

So he went to the factory manager in person and asked him to keep Zhou Chen.

In addition to the fact that Zhou Chen's superb medical skills conquered him, another reason was that after Zhou Chen came, his stress was suddenly reduced. Zhou Chen's efficiency in treating patients was much higher than his. With Zhou Chen around, he simply felt so comfortable.

It's the same money anyway, and everyone will make the choice between getting it with tiredness or with comfort.

"Your health is not a big problem. Don't drink alcohol for at least three days after you go back. Then follow the prescription I gave you. After taking it for a few days, your stomachache will go away."

After sending the last patient away and seeing that there was no one else around, Zhou Chen stretched out his arms and said to Doctor Wu, who was drinking tea and reading a newspaper, "Doctor Wu, it's past the end of the shift, why haven't you left yet?"

Doctor Wu put down the newspaper and said with a smile: "You have been seeing all the patients recently. I am so relaxed. It would be unreasonable if I didn't accompany you."

He sees a few patients every day and spends the rest of the time drinking tea and reading newspapers, and the day is gone. These days are definitely the most relaxing days he has had in the past decade.

Although there are thousands of workers in the steel rolling mill, not everyone will come to them for treatment when they are sick. After all, there are hospitals nearby. People with minor illnesses such as headaches and colds will come to their clinic, but for more serious illnesses, patients will go directly to the hospital.

There are quite a few people who come to the clinic to see a doctor, but many of them go to see Western doctors, so it is relatively relaxed here. After all, those who come to see Chinese doctors basically don't get injections or intravenous drips. After the diagnosis is confirmed, they just take the prescription to get the medicine and then leave. Those who talk a lot may stay and talk to Zhou Chen and the others for a few more minutes.

"Zhou Chen, although you have only been here for a few days, to be honest, I think with your medical skills, you can find a place even in a large hospital. It is really a waste of your talent to work in our factory clinic."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "I would like to go, but unfortunately I didn't even finish high school and don't have a diploma. If you want to work in a big hospital, it's not enough to have good medical skills."

Wu Yuejie was delighted when he heard this: "Hey, I like you more and more, you are so insightful."

"It's time to get off work, let's go."

The steel mill does not operate 24 hours a day. There are people working the night shift, but not many, so there is no need to work the night shift in the health center.

Zhou Chen chatted and laughed with Wu Yuejie and walked out of the room.

"Hey, Zhou Chen, why are you in the health room? Are you sick?"

Before Zhou Chen walked out of the infirmary, he saw Qin Huairu walking into the infirmary. Qin Huairu was also very surprised to see him.

"Sister Qin."

Zhou Chen turned to Wu Yuejie and said, "Doctor Wu, I met a neighbor. You go first."

"Well, then I'll leave first."

After Wu Yuejie left, Zhou Chen asked Qin Huairu, "Sister Qin, are you sick? Are you here to see a doctor?"
