Chapter Thirty-Eight: An Inexplicable Invitation

"Heh......"

Before the guests could come in, John couldn't help but stand up and stretch and yawn heavily. This person is also strange, if he is tired or has not slept for a long time, he will yawn, but if he is idle for a long time and feels bored, he will also can't help but yawn. John now falls into the latter category, and is indeed too laid-back now compared to the hectic career of his previous life.

But this relaxation was only a matter of seconds, and John immediately sat back in his chair.

Soon a young man in his early thirties was ushered in, and Miss Brown explained softly, "Mr. Huntelaar, this is Mr. Hawkins, and he says that there is something very important and that he must see you!" ”

"Oh, okay, you go out first."

With his eyes narrowing slightly, John sent Miss Brown away.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Huntelaar."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Hawkins."

After the two exchanged greetings, John first invited the other to sit down, and then asked with a little confusion, "Mr. Hawkins, have we met before?" Because I can't think of anything important for you to ask me for! ”

"No, sir."

The visitor shook his head lightly and said with a wry smile, "We have never met before...... In fact, I have come to visit you on a very important matter, and I need your help. ”

"Oh?"

His brows furrowed slightly, and John's heart became more and more puzzled.

It had been just over half a year since John returned from Europe. During this period, he basically focused on the pharmaceutical company and the hospital, and basically didn't meet any new friends, so he really couldn't think of anyone who would ask others to come to him for help.

After thinking about it. John asked, "Mr. Hawkins, what is the name of the gentleman who came here?" Do I know him? ”

"This ......"

Of course, the visitor saw John's doubts, and after hesitation, he said softly: "Mr. Huntelaar, that gentleman's identity is quite special, please forgive me for not being able to say her name for the time being." But if you have time, could you please go to a place with me......"

"I'm sorry!"

This time, without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, John directly refused categorically: "I'm sorry sir." If it's someone who needs to see a doctor, I think you've probably heard that doctors at Heinz General Hospital are not allowed to leave the hospital to see people! ”

You have to see a doctor in the hospital. This was a rule that John had since the first day it opened.

In terms of examination conditions in this era, it actually makes no big difference whether you go to the hospital or the patient's home, after all, in addition to the microscope, you can carry stethoscopes, thermometers and other tools with you. Even a blood pressure monitor can fit into a doctor's medicine cabinet. Still, John set the rules at the beginning of the business. Otherwise, what is the purpose of investing huge sums of money to build this hospital?

But when John said this, the person who came suddenly became anxious, and said loudly: "No, no, sir, that gentleman did not invite you to see him......

"Sorry, that's even more impossible!"

With a frown, John's expression suddenly sank and said, "I don't care how special her identity is, if he wants to see me." You can come to the hospital or you can come to my house. But I'm not going to see him! ”

John didn't hesitate at all about Hawkins' invitation.

From a security point of view, John could not casually accept someone's invitation to meet a stranger in an unfamiliar place. Not to mention that John couldn't have had any affection for this kind of self-righteous guy at all: he didn't say anything and wanted someone to see him, who did he think he was?

"Mr. ......"

Hawkins' face suddenly panicked, and he quickly stood up.

But before he could say anything, John had already waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Hawkins, if you have nothing else to do, you can leave now!" ”

With that, John gently rang the electric bell on the table.

Miss Brown soon walked in, looked at John and then at the people, her face full of confusion.

"Sir, please think again."

Mr. Hawkins' expression suddenly became ugly, and he said in a somewhat stiff voice: "If you knew the identity of that gentleman, I don't think you would be so ......."

The meaning of the warning is already very obvious!

"Oh?"

After listening to the other party's words, John's eyes narrowed slightly, and after looking at the other party quietly for two seconds, he waved his hand again, and said in a calm tone that made people panic: "Mr. Hawkins, I don't care what your so-called identity of this gentleman is, if you want to see a doctor, you can come to the hospital, and if you have other things to do, you can also come to the hospital...... Miss Brown, please let Mr. Hawkins out! ”

"Mr. Hawkins, please!"

After listening to the boss's words, Miss Brown came to Hawkins's side with some trepidation.

This time Hawkins didn't say anything more, but after glancing at John, he nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Huntelaar, take the liberty of interrupting." But I'm sure I'll be back, and I'm sure you'll agree to my request by then...... Belch! ”

What Hawkins saw was that John had already buried himself in writing.

"Hoo ......"

Exhaling heavily, Hawkins reluctantly suppressed the churning anger in his heart, didn't want to say anything more, and turned to leave John's office......

Hawkins's visit was like a small wave in the ocean, forgotten by John in the blink of an eye.

Or that such a thing, such a person, was not worth John's attention at all. Of course, John also knew that the person Hawkins was talking about was probably not ordinary, and it was probably a figure with enough power in New York City. But John also knew that the other party invited him so rudely, I am afraid that he didn't know his details at all, thinking that the invitation was just an ordinary doctor, what is there for John to worry about such a guy?

Starting Monday this week, John has devoted a considerable part of his energy to the clinic.

I went out to the clinic on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings, and went to the operating room on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and I didn't necessarily have to do the surgery myself, after all, the main "major surgery" at Heinz General Hospital was only appendectomy, and John was not too interested in it for the time being. His most important job in the operating room is to standardize the technical actions and aseptic operations of all doctors, and at the same time consciously cultivate their modern surgical awareness. It's a subtle process, and it's a very long process, and John is mentally prepared.

Except for the operating room and outpatient room, John spends his afternoons in his office.

Since Monday afternoon, John has been in the office with his head down on something, spending four full afternoons writing a thick stack of things, then two more days re-checking, organizing, and polishing, and finally looking at the stack on the table before leaving work on Saturday afternoon......

……

Woohoo, I'm finally updated. (To be continued......)
