There are three large round tables in the antique box, and the dishes on the table are far more hearty than Western food, and the aroma is more tangy and colorful.

The most important thing is that everyone sits together, substitutes tea or juice for wine, pushes cups and cups, talks and laughs, and shares food, which is a unique atmosphere that can be compared to Western food.

All in all, Grace was experiencing this kind of Chinese dinner for the first time.

"Fei Fei, come, eat a big chicken leg!" Zhou Qiao's side, Murphy on the left, and Stephanie on the right, Zhou Qiao picked up Murphy's small bowl, got up with a male spoon, and very gently gave Murphy a bowl of steaming chicken soup.

Later, another bowl was brought to Stephanie, which was also chicken soup and chicken thighs.

Yes, a native chicken, originally with two legs, is now good, and it was divided by these two girls.

However, everyone is not envious, after all, Murphy and Stephanie are pregnant, so how can it be compared?

Elena, Ava, Grace and Nanako Chiba were greedy, and Zhou Qiao naturally did not snub them, and also served a bowl to each of them.

Others said that they would come by themselves, but Zhou Qiao still insisted and served a bowl each.

At this point, a large pot of chicken soup is finished.

Of course, it was only limited to their table, and the people at the other two tables, Zhou Qiao didn't bother to care. Especially Ariel's table, which has long been swept away and eaten a lot, where is the need for Dr. Zhou to serve vegetables?

"It's so delicious, it's chicken, too?" Grace ate a small piece of tender chicken, and then took a bite of the soup into her throat, almost biting her tongue. Compared to the turkey I have eaten before, this local chicken soup is simply the best delicacy in the world.

As everyone knows, this is Tang Yunxuan's own free-range chicken, which is freshly killed and stewed, the meat is smooth and tender, and the chicken soup is nutritious and delicious, which is naturally far from the crude benzene turkey produced in the United States.

Turkey has no market in China, and the only reason is that it is not tasty. If you have to find the second reason, it is to look ugly.

Tang Yunxuan's free-range chicken, small size, with the characteristics of "three yellows", yellow feathers, yellow claws, yellow beaks, ranked first in the authoritative classic of the Ministry of Agriculture of China "Chinese Poultry Chronicles", also called "three yellow chickens", the name is given by Zhu Yuanzhang.

In ancient Chinese royalty, yellow was often the color of honor.

The three yellow chickens are not only delicious, but also have strong survivability and high egg production, and are one of the most famous local chickens in China, which can be "quacked and killed" in the world.

Food can relieve work pressure, can make people happy, a meal after eating, everyone not only swept away the fatigue of work, but also a lot of harmonious relationship with each other, everyone is happy.

After the meal, everyone went home very tacitly, leaving the task of escorting Grace to Zhou Qiao.

Because, everyone else has their own cars, Grace has just moved in, and she is still renting a house, and she hasn't bought a car yet.

Sitting in the passenger seat of Zhou Qiao Bentley, looking at the bright night scene outside the window, Grace couldn't help but glance at the man next to her who was concentrating on driving, and suddenly felt a little nervous.

Especially, when Zhou Qiao's hand reached into the central control.

Zhou Qiao's hand touched it, and Grace didn't know if she wanted to move her leg a little. The consciousness wants to move, but the legs don't listen.

Moreover, she felt that it would seem very abrupt to suddenly move her legs.

People don't necessarily want to touch her.

Sure enough, Zhou Qiao just adjusted the amount of air, smiled slightly, and said, "The air volume is too small, and the glass is fogging." ”

"Oh."

Grace secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but also a little lost. My heart said that my beautiful thighs are here, don't you take advantage of it?

Glancing at Zhou Qiao, who looked gentlemanly, Grace pursed her lips slightly, she was carefully dressed up tonight, well, wearing black silk and skirts.

When he arrived at the downstairs of Grace's rented apartment, Zhou Qiao took the initiative to get out of the car, gentlemanly pulled the car door for Grace, and said, "I'll send you up." ”

"Thank you."

It was getting late, and it was a place like the United States, so it was naturally impossible for Zhou Qiao to let Grace go upstairs alone.

This distance, if there is any danger, it is really regrettable.

As for Murphy, to be honest, even if Murphy and Stephanie are pregnant now, ordinary men are really no match for them.

And they live in high-end villas, the security is better, and the other thing is that the car can be driven directly into the garage, and then go upstairs directly from the garage.

The garage is equipped with an automatic sensor door that automatically raises when your car arrives.

Zhang Mengjing was the closest, and after eating at Tang Yunxuan, she went directly to her parents. Her parents are now working in this restaurant, and the family's small life is enjoyable.

In particular, Zhang Mengjing is now a nurse, and it is still such a good institution as the Iris Clinic, looking at the whole United States, the treatment is first-class. Zhang Mengjing's salary alone is more than that of her parents combined.

Zhang Mengjing is also very happy at the Iris Clinic.

"Would you like to go in and have a coffee?" When she arrived at the door, Grace smiled slightly, revealing a charming smile, with red lips and white teeth, a high nose bridge, and a gorgeous appearance.

"Okay." Zhou Qiao went from good to good and entered Grace's boudoir.

Although it is a rented house, it is quite cosy inside.

In the past, Grace liked to have short hair and wear neutral clothes, but now although she still has smart short hair, her clothes have been changed to ladylike styles. The decoration in the boudoir is also mainly pink and white.

On the coffee table in the living room, there is a bouquet of flowers, exuding a faint refreshing fragrance.

Grace brewed two cups of coffee, served one to Zhou Qiao, and held another cup herself, curled up on the sofa beside Zhou Qiao, and took small sips.

"How's it going, are you still comfortable at the Iris Clinic?" Zhou Qiao asked.

"It's fine. It's ......"

"What's that?" Zhou Qiao asked.

Grace smiled lightly and said, "I just haven't seen your level yet." ”

She has seen the medical skills of several other people, but Zhou Qiao, the boss, really hasn't learned it, especially outside of minimally invasive heart surgery.

"From tomorrow, I'll take you personally." Zhou Qiao said.

"Is it hand-in-hand?" Grace asked.

It's just that as soon as the words came out, I felt that the atmosphere was a little ambiguous. Her words were teasing and provocative.

Her heart was like a deer, and she said that Zhou Qiao shouldn't pounce directly, right? So what should I do? Is it to touch his eight-pack abs? Or touch his eight-pack abs?

For a moment, Fang's heart was in turmoil.

Zhou Qiao got up: "It's not early, I'll go back first." You go to rest. ”

Grace regretted it slightly, and said in her heart that she was too abrupt and caused a bad impression on him? It is said that the Chinese are very reserved, I was too direct just now?

However, when she sent Zhou Qiao, she looked at Zhou Qiao's slightly flustered back, and smiled secretly in her heart, it turned out that Dr. Zhou was scared by me? If I knew he was so funny, I should have been bolder.

Actually, Zhou Qiao just didn't want to be so soon, he just came back, and on the first day he met in San Francisco, he pushed people away? That's too fast.

In addition, he wants to save his energy and accompany other girls first.

Elena, Ava, and Nanako Chiba haven't seen each other for too long and need to be soothed. Elena and Ava, in particular, came all the way from Northern Europe, how could they leave them at home?

Murphy and Stephanie, although pregnant, are still okay with proper gentle exercise.

These girls have all added points by themselves, and their "combat effectiveness" is off the charts, and when they have accompanied them, they are "weak", and they can just deal with Grace.

Because Grace hasn't added a point yet, she is certainly not the opponent of her heyday. It will be unbearable when the time comes.

Sending Zhou Qiao away, Grace closed the door, returned to the sofa, and continued to take small sips of her coffee, her mind was full of Zhou Qiao's eight-pack abs, but unfortunately she didn't have a chance to touch it just now.

Seeing that the coffee table had not finished drinking a cup of coffee last week, he felt that it was too wasteful to throw it away, so he picked it up and sniffed it carefully, and suddenly couldn't help but take a sip, and his blue eyes suddenly narrowed, and he enjoyed it to the fullest.

This cup of coffee, with Zhou Qiao's scent, is more mellow and delicious than her cup.

The dexterous and soft tongue gently licked the rim of the cup, and the heart said, is this an indirect KISS?

She has never experienced kissing with a man, and her heart can't help but be full of anticipation.

After Zhou Qiao went back, he naturally lived with his twin sisters, reunited after a long absence, and had endless words to tell.

The third floor of the villa, with their private space, makes it feel like you don't want to get out of bed in the morning.

However, Zhou Qiao was a diligent person and still rushed to the clinic before nine o'clock.

When he arrived at the clinic, he chatted with everyone individually about their work, and then adjusted what Murphy and Stephanie were doing.

In the future, Murphy and Stephanie will move to the "behind-the-scenes", mainly to raise a baby. Go to work freely, come if you want, don't come if you don't want to.

If you are bored at work or at home, you can read a book, do prenatal education, or write some academic articles.

The operation was handed over to Zhou Qiao, Nanako Chiba, and Grace. Psychological counseling was also temporarily taken over by Zhou Qiao.

In addition, Stephanie can communicate with patients by phone or video to provide psychological counseling. If you feel troublesome and need to come to the door, leave it to Zhou Qiao to do it.

When Grace heard about it, she was very surprised: "Zhou Qiao will also have psychological counseling?" ”

"Well, I was wrong, he provided me with the diagnosis and treatment plan before." Grace remembered the stubble "in hindsight".

In fact, later, Grace also discovered that Stephanie did not follow the diagnosis and treatment plan at all, but they have corrected her sexual orientation and soothed the dark wounds in her heart.

It's like having an operation, and another doctor uses another type of surgery to solve the disease. Although the process was a bit tortuous, but, wasn't that what she asked for? Who can blame?

As for the financial reins of the clinic, once again in the hands of Elena, Ava assists.

With the growth of the business, especially the statistics and attention to the financial status of some other subsidiaries, such as Future Medical Devices, Xueqiao Selection, Qiao Biotechnology, Iris Media, etc., the work is actually very cumbersome.

Although those subsidiaries have special financial departments, Zhou Qiao, as a big boss, needs to have a trustworthy person to "supervise".

When encountering some major expenditures, those subsidiaries also have to write emails for Zhou Qiao to approve. It is about once a week. The other party will list various details, purposes, and so on in the email.

Zhou Qiao himself was too lazy to approve it, so he directly handed it over to Elena to be responsible. Of course, Elena operates through Zhou Qiao's account.

When Zhou Qiao has free time, he will use clay to make clay figurines and teach Nanako Chiba and Grace some surgical skills.

Grace's minimally invasive heart surgery is at the master level, however, many of the other specialties have not been touched.

These two girls, since they entered the clinic, Zhou Qiao has not had time to "train" well, so she just took this opportunity to teach two at a time.

During this period, it is inevitable that there will be some unique "medical training grounds in another dimension", that is, like Murphy and Stephanie before, in the way of "dream travel".

Whether it's Grace or Nanako Chiba, it's the first time to experience it, and it's very novel. Nanako Chiba is better, she has been added by Zhou Qiao and knows the magic of Zhou Jun.

Grace is the first time she has really seen Zhou Qiao's peculiarity, and she said in her heart that this guy can't be from the Marvel universe, right?

There is an aunt in Chinatown, accompanied by her family, who came to the Iris Clinic to see Zhou Qiao.

The other party has black stools during this time, and then has a bad appetite, always feels sour after eating, abdominal distension and abdominal pain, sometimes vomits out the food just eaten, and slowly will be accompanied by dizziness and palpitation.

The aunt is not particularly old, in her fifties, she was in China before, and only came to the United States after retirement, and lived with her son and daughter-in-law's family, and by the way, she also helped her son take care of the children.

"In less than a month, you lost ten kilograms?" After listening to the description of the illness of his aunt and his family, Zhou Qiao couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

"Doctor Zhou, is it serious?" Auntie's daughter asked.

Zhou Qiao pondered for a moment and said, "Let's do a gastroscopy first." ”

So, accompanied by her family, my aunt went to the testing center.

On the way, the aunt was very apprehensive, she was old and fine, and she felt a little bad: "Daughter, Dr. Zhou seems to be very serious just now......

The daughter comforted: "Maybe Dr. Zhou is usually such a character?" ”

His son-in-law also comforted: "Mom, you don't have to worry too much, the United States has developed medical conditions, and Dr. Zhou is the top in North America, even if you have any diseases, he can cure you." ”

Auntie was a little relieved.

However, when the test results came out, the aunt almost collapsed to the ground.

Because, the examination found that mucosal congestion and edema could be seen from the middle of the stomach body-gastric antrum, spontaneous bleeding, and a huge proliferative lesion, blocking the gastric cavity.

Auntie's entire stomach is deformed.

Subsequent pathology revealed that it was a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma.

"Cancer?" Auntie was stunned for a while.

The daughter and son-in-law also became nervous.

The son-in-law thought for a while and comforted again: "The vast majority of cancers are actually chronic diseases in the United States, and there are many new drugs and treatment methods on our side, so don't be too afraid." "My son-in-law is an American, and because he married a Chinese wife, he speaks Chinese quite well.

However, when Zhou Qiao admitted his aunt to a community hospital, and after being hospitalized, he arranged a more detailed examination and found that his aunt's cancer had metastasized peritoneal and retroperitoneal lymph nodes, which belonged to advanced gastric cancer.

Grace and Nanako Chiba participated in the whole process of this case, and when she got the results, Grace gasped, although she has been working in the heart center after graduation, but after joining the Iris Clinic, she has also dabbled in some other specialties, and she knows that this advanced stomach cancer, surgery may not be curable.

Zhou Qiao, can it really save this patient's life?
