In addition to being able to chat well with Zhou Chen, what made their relationship even closer was Zhou Chen's foreign language ability.

Unlike decades later, not every official in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is proficient in foreign languages ​​these days. Like Wan Shibing's father, he is very proficient in English, but much weaker in other languages.

Although it was a medical school, there were many foreign language books. Once, Zhou Chen revealed his excellent foreign language ability, which led to many classmates asking him to help with translation.

After Wan Shibing learned about this, he asked Zhou Chen to help translate many times. He would receive some benefits for helping others translate, but Zhou Chen did not receive any benefits for helping Wan Shibing.

After a while, the relationship between the two naturally improved.

As for whether making money by helping others translate is speculation or profiteering, if this happens in a remote area, you may really be charged with the crime of speculation and profiteering.

But on a university campus, this kind of thing is really nothing. We are all classmates. We just help each other and pay some handling fees. If someone really reports it, we will definitely become the target of public criticism.

In this special period, there are few stupid people who can get into university. Who would do such a thankless job that will be looked down upon by others?

It is thanks to this small business that Zhou Chen earns more money every month than working in a publishing house.

It has been almost half a year since he started college. As the special era has passed, Zhou Chen no longer hides his incompetence and gradually demonstrates his abilities for the sake of his future career.

Although he has only been in school for half a year, his learning ability and hands-on skills have already impressed all the teachers.

If it were in other times, Zhou Chen would have been questioned and scrutinized to some extent for having mastered so many theoretical and practical skills shortly after starting school.

But the situation of admission this year is different. There has been no enrollment in ten years, and today is the first time for applicants. Many students in the medical school are admitted with artistic skills, so the school teachers were not too surprised at Zhou Chen's outstanding abilities.

This saved Zhou Chen a lot of trouble, otherwise it would have been a very tedious process to explain.

During the one-month summer vacation, Zhou Chen did not plan to rest at home. Instead, he discussed with the school leaders and planned to go to the First Hospital of Yenching Medical College to work as an intern.

Originally, as a freshman, Zhou Chen was not qualified to work as an intern in a hospital. However, Zhou Chen's performance was so outstanding that the school leaders finally agreed to give Zhou Chen a chance and let him work as an intern in the hospital's emergency department.

The emergency department is definitely the most tiring department in the hospital, especially for interns like Zhou Chen. Once they arrive at the emergency department, they basically become cheap labor and are ordered around by others.

Zhou Chen did not feel embarrassed about this. He possessed extraordinary medical skills, but his current identity was just an intern who had not yet graduated. It was impossible for him to receive any preferential treatment. It was not easy to be able to help in the emergency department in this era.

The doctors and nurses in the emergency department initially looked down upon Zhou Chen, a student at school, but after a few days, many people began to look at him with admiration.

Because in their eyes, the "wild doctors" are really quite skilled, whether it is suturing wounds or diagnosing diseases, they have very rich experience, and even many veteran doctors feel inferior to them.

People with abilities will be respected there. After Zhou Chen demonstrated his abilities, his life naturally became much better.

Except for a few people who still did not treat him equally, most people began to build good relationships with him.

After all, Zhou Chen is an excellent potential stock no matter how you look at it. He may have the opportunity to work here in the future. It is always better to have one more friend than one more opponent.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.

Zhou Chen has been in the First Hospital of Yenching Medical College for more than half a month without a single day of rest. He gets up early and goes to bed late every day, and has to work the night shift every few days. The excessive busyness has made him, who has a very good physique, feel tired.

Sure enough, although his physical fitness is twice that of an ordinary person, he is still a mortal body, and he will get tired and injured...

I was busy again today until around seven in the evening, and when I got home, it was already past eight.

As soon as he opened the door and walked into the house, Zhou Chen let out a light exclamation.

"Bingkun."

Zhou Bingyi saw Zhou Chen come in, stood up from the sofa and greeted him.

Zhou Chen nodded to him and turned his gaze to his left side.

"Sister-in-law, when did you come?"

Hao Dongmei stood up and said to Zhou Chen with a smile: "Bingkun, long time no see."

Zhou Bingyi said: "Your sister-in-law just came today. I brought her to you as soon as she arrived. Otherwise, we would have to spend money to go to the guesthouse."

Zhou Chen put down the key and walked over: "Brother, sister-in-law, have you eaten?"

"Not yet. I'm waiting for you."

Zhou Chen looked at Zheng Juan and Li Suhua. Zheng Juan said, "My mother and I asked my eldest brother and his wife to eat first, but they insisted on waiting for you."

Zhou Bingyi immediately said: "I was just thinking about having a couple of drinks with you."

Zhou Chen nodded, walked to the cabinet and took out a bottle of white wine, "Then let's have a few drinks today, I happen to be quite tired recently."

Zhou Bingyi asked in surprise: "Why, is it tiring to work in the hospital?"

After the summer vacation, he did not meet Ji Chun, but stayed in the dormitory. He basically came here two or three times a month, so he naturally knew that Zhou Chen was going to the hospital for internship.

"Emergency Department, what do you think? All the dirty work is assigned to me. From morning till the end of the day, I don't have a few minutes to spare."

Labor is still glorious these days. Zhou Chen feels that he is really being exploited. If he were an intern who graduated from university, he would probably get sick within three to five days of such high-intensity work.

Zhou Bingyi: "Just endure it if you can. You can go to the hospital for internship in your freshman year, and it's the No. 1 hospital. Which medical school student can do what you do? It's better to be tired now, because it will pay off in the future."

Hao Dongmei also said: "Bingkun, your elder brother is right. Bingyi told me before that you went to the hospital for internship. I was very shocked. You are only a freshman."

She herself went to medical school, so she knows more about this industry than Zhou Bingyi. She was able to intern as a doctor in a hospital during her freshman year. Either she has strong connections or she is really exceptionally capable.

Zhou Chen smiled and changed the subject, then asked Hao Dongmei, "Sister-in-law, are you planning to go back after the summer vacation?"

"Yes, your sister-in-law didn't have much to do at home, so I asked her to come over. I'm sorry to bother you during this period of time, and she may have to stay at your place."

Zhou Bingyi felt a little embarrassed. The guesthouse was not cheap, and if he stayed in the guesthouse, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating would all be problems.

They have some money now, but they both still have a few years of study to go to, so they try to save as much as possible.

Although it was somewhat embarrassing to live in his brother's house, he was not the kind of person who would act big for the sake of face, and he felt that Zhou Chen was not that kind of person either.

Hao Dongmei was also paying attention to Zhou Chen's expression. In fact, she didn't quite agree with this plan because it made her feel like a dependent.

But after she came today, her mother-in-law and Zheng Juan refused to let her leave. Finally, Zhou Bingyi agreed to stay, and she let go of her awkwardness.

However, if Zhou Chen showed reluctance, she would definitely not stay.

Zhou Chen's expression did not change for a moment, and he said, "Of course there is no problem. Then, Mom and Juan'er will take Congcong to sleep in our room, Guangming and I will sleep in Mom's room, and you and sister-in-law will sleep in the other room."

Li Suhua's room is not small, and there is only a small cabinet, so there is quite a lot of space. Therefore, Zhou Chen put a bunk bed in this room. Zhou Rui and Feng Yue usually sleep in this room, and sometimes they will go and sleep with Zheng Guangming.

Zhou Bingyi waved his hand quickly: "No, your sister-in-law and I can just sleep on the floor in the living room. It's so hot now anyway, it's cooler to sleep on the floor."

Zheng Guangming said, "Brother-in-law, I'll sleep in the living room, and let my brother and sister-in-law sleep in my room."

Zheng Juan also agreed: "Yes, let Guangming sleep in the living room, brother, sister-in-law, you sleep in the room."

Letting her younger brother Guangming sleep in the living room doesn't mean that she doesn't feel sorry for him, but it's mainly because the house is so small and her elder brother and sister-in-law are guests, so how can she let them sleep in the living room?

And she also knew that Hao Dongmei would not stay for long. Guangming would sleep in the living room for more than ten days. It was summer and the room was upstairs, so there would definitely be no problem.

Li Suhua didn't say anything. Although she was a mother, her mentality had changed long ago. This family belonged to her youngest son. She felt sorry for her eldest son, but the youngest son had to make the decision on such matters.

Zhou Chen made the final decision: "Stop arguing, just do as I say, eat, eat."

Zheng Juan and Li Suhua were fine, as they were used to Zhou Chen being the one in charge of the family.

But Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei were different. When they saw Zhou Chen was so strong and had the aura of the head of the family, they were secretly shocked.

Especially Hao Dongmei, she felt that Zhou Chen's tone of voice was very similar to her father's, with a kind of power that was intimidating without being angry and could not be refused.

After dinner, Zhou Bingyi asked Zhou Chen: "Bingkun, do you still have the energy to go out for a walk with me?"

Zhou Chen took a look at him and knew that he had something on his mind: "Let's go, let's go downstairs and move around."

After saying hello, the two brothers went downstairs and started strolling on the roads in the community.

"Bingkun, I heard from mom and Zheng Juan that you've made a lot of money recently. How did you make it? Although the current situation is much more relaxed, you're a college student now and have a bright future. Don't lose the big picture for the small."

He meant the reminder well, but Zhou Chen was quite speechless. This elder brother really likes to worry about things.

"I know what's going on. But you, I see you look strange today. Is it because sister-in-law didn't just come to visit you?"

Zhou Bingyi had a conflicted look on his face. He walked for a while without saying a word. Suddenly, he stopped and turned to look at Zhou Chen.

"Bingkun, there is something I want to tell you."

"what?"

"Your sister-in-law can't have children."

"Oh."

After Zhou Bingyi finished speaking, he was waiting for Zhou Chen's shocked reaction, but Zhou Chen's reaction was so calm that he was a little dumbfounded.

"Bingkun, did you not hear what I said?"

"I heard it clearly. My sister-in-law cannot have children."

"what?"

Zhou Bingyi was shocked: "After hearing this, you are not surprised or surprised at all?"

Zhou Chen said calmly: "Why are you surprised? I have already guessed it. Sister-in-law likes children so much. If there is no problem, you would have had a child a long time ago."

Zhou Bingyi never expected that the confidentiality he thought he had done was useless in front of Zhou Chen, and his expression became upset.

"Then why don't you think it's my problem?"

Zhou Chen glanced at him and said, "Do you even need to ask this? If it's your problem, with the identities of my sister-in-law's parents, will you still have a good life?"

Zhou Bingyi's face turned red after hearing this. "What do you know? Your sister-in-law loves me no less than I do her. Even if there is something wrong with me, she would never abandon me. Don't judge others by your own standards."

"hehe."

Zhou Chen chuckled twice. It's not that he had any opinion about Hao Dongmei, but he knew what kind of people the Hao couple were. If there was anything wrong with Zhou Bingyi, given their personalities, they would not let their daughter divorce, but they would definitely not be kind to Zhou Bingyi.

"So, sister-in-law came to Yanjing not only to see you, but also to see a doctor?"

Zhou Bingyi adjusted his mood. He was very dissatisfied with what Zhou Chen had just said, but his rebuttal seemed to lack confidence.

"Yes, we left so early during the Chinese New Year because we wanted to see a doctor for her. Unfortunately, we visited several hospitals, consulted several experts, and had tests, but the situation was still not optimistic. She has been taking medicine, but there is still no improvement."

"Dongmei was unwilling to give up, so this time she came here, through her mother's relationship, she contacted several obstetricians and gynecologists in Yanjing, and wanted to have another thorough examination."

Zhou Chen nodded. If it was about normal medical treatment, he would have no problem with it. But when it came to reproductive medicine specialties such as infertility, although he had studied it, he was not very proficient in it.

In the eyes of doctors, there is no gender distinction between patients, but that does not mean that doctors themselves do not distinguish between men and women. It is true that Zhou Chen is a doctor, but he does not specialize in the disease of infertility.

In simple terms, it is not within the scope of business.

"In terms of reproductive medicine, the most professional hospital in Yanjing should be the Third Hospital of Yanjing Medical College. Have you ever been there?"

"The Third Hospital?"

Zhou Bingyi was surprised: "Aren't the best hospitals in Yanjing Union Medical College and 301 Hospital?"

Zhou Chen: "That's right. In terms of comprehensiveness, they are indeed at the top, but that doesn't mean every department is the best. Although the Third Hospital is not as famous as them, the reproductive medicine department is still good."

According to him, although the Third Hospital was established relatively late, its strength is not weak. It has the foundation of Yenching Medical College, especially in reproductive medicine, and its business capabilities are outstanding.

Zhou Bingyi thought for a moment and said, "I'll go back and ask Dongmei about this later. But before that, we still have to follow our previous plan and go find the experts her mother contacted. I hope there will be a solution."

This matter is a top priority for him and the Hao family. You have to know that Hao Dongmei is about the same age as Zhou Bingyi, both are already thirty years old. If they want to have a child, they must do it as soon as possible.

"It's up to you. If you need any help from me, please feel free to ask."

Zhou Bingyi patted Zhou Chen's shoulder gratefully: "Bingkun, you have really grown up now. Among the three children in our Zhou family, you are the most promising and reliable now."

"Actually, I told my dad about this during the Chinese New Year this year, but I didn't tell him that your sister-in-law couldn't have children. I said it was my problem, so don't let this slip, okay?"

"I'm not the kind of person who talks too much. I know what you mean."

"I didn't mean to deceive our father. I just had no choice. Fortunately, we still have you in our family. With Ruirui and Congcong, the Zhou family's incense will not be cut off. Otherwise, I would be really unfilial."

Zhou Chen knew what Zhou Bingyi was thinking. He deceived Zhou Zhigang for Hao Dongmei, but that was not absolute. He must have his own little thoughts.

Hao Dongmei's parents are both powerful now, and he also has ambitions and ideals, so he is unwilling to lose this strong backer.

So his mood was complicated. On the one hand, he really loved Hao Dongmei, but on the other hand, he was considering his own future.

He also knew that by doing this, he might hurt his parents, but he still did it.

Perhaps in his heart, a child with his blood is not as important as Hao Dongmei and his own future.

Very selfish, but very realistic.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 596 Confidentiality

If Zhou Chen was still in his teens or twenties, he would definitely feel deep contempt for Zhou Bingyi's selfish and realistic behavior.

But after living for so many years and seeing so many worlds, his perspective is no longer that of a young man in his twenties, and he is not as naive as before.

The choice before Zhou Bingyi now is very simple. If Hao Dongmei cannot be cured and he still wants a child, then he has only one choice.
