Chapter 40: One Can't Be Too Honest

  In the afternoon, after sending off Li Xiaoyang and her mother, Ye Nan felt very relieved. He couldn't believe that he had easily cured such a difficult case with his own ability, and Li Xiaoyang's recovery also made him feel extremely happy.

  However, his good mood did not last long and was completely ruined by something that made Ye Nan very depressed.

  It was like this, the afternoon was very idle, no new patients came, nothing to do, Zhang Li sat opposite, deep in thought, her eyes rolling around, looking around to see if there were other people in the office, and quickly came over.

  Ye Nan looked at Zhang Li with a puzzled expression. What was so mysterious about this matter? However, Zhang Li's actions still piqued his curiosity.

  The two of them huddled together, Zhang Li's eyes blazing with anger as she asked in a low voice: "Nan Zi, how much did you get this time?"

  "What's the point? What point?" Ye Nan was puzzled!

  "I was talking about this month's medicine allowance, hasn't she given it to you yet?" Zhang Liqi said.

  Ye Nan was stunned by these words, "Is there a commission on the medicine every month? How did I not know about it?" He felt a sudden jolt in his mind and quickly asked: "Commission! I've never taken any before. What kind of commission is this? Does everyone get one?"

  "What? You've never taken a tip?" Zhang Li was also stunned.

  "Really? I haven't even heard of it! Have you all taken it?" Ye Nan hastily asked.

  After hearing this, Zhang Li's face became even more furious: "Dizzy... Nanzi, how can you be so naive? Didn't you know all along?"

  Ye Nan nodded honestly: "I really don't know!"

  "That damned old witch, Nanzi, we've been selling several kinds of antibiotics every day and they all have a commission, but she's never given you any. You should go find her, she's been withholding your commission for the whole year, it adds up to almost tens of thousands of yuan! Zhang Li said indignantly: "Nanzi, don't be too honest! This is real money we're talking about, if you're too honest, that old witch will definitely take advantage of you!"

  Ye Nan heard this and looked gloomy, 10,000 yuan, which was almost three months' salary for himself!

  "Damn it, this damned old woman! I'll go find her later!" Ye Nan was really furious.

  Zhang Li replied, "Of course we have to go. We all thought you received it on time every month. You know, I calculated the amount this month and found that it's not correct. It's possible that they secretly deducted our money. You go ask first, our matter can wait!"

  Having made up his mind, Ye Nan asked Zhang Li to keep an eye on things while he went down to the outpatient department to look for Director Li.

  On the way, Ye Nan thought for a moment that the previous deposit was probably hopeless to get back, as long as this month's deposit can be received, it would be fine. In the future, she wouldn't dare to deduct her own deposit anymore, and after all, she still had to make a living under someone else's roof, so it was better not to offend that old witch for this matter!

  When he went down to the outpatient department, Director Li was alone in the consulting room. Ye Nan took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress the resentment on his face, putting on a faint smile as he walked in.

  Director Li looked at Ye Nan coming in and smiled strangely: "Ye Nan, isn't there something going on upstairs? How do you have time to come down here!"

  "It's all right, the patients are fine!"

  He swallowed his saliva and went straight to the point: "Director, they all received a bonus for selling medicine this month, why didn't I get any?"

  Director Li heard this and was taken aback, his face changing in an instant. However, being a cunning fox that he was, he calmly said: "Ah... you didn't mention it and I had truly forgotten, just got busy with something else and completely forgot about it!"

  He handed over 600 yuan to Ye Nan, saying: "Take it, take it, there will be more every month!" After that, he didn't mention the previous tip and sent Ye Nan away with a fake smile.

  Ye Nan thought for a moment, sighed, and thought to herself: "Forget it, it's impossible to get the meat back from this old fox. The previous reminder was just a waste of effort, and it's better not to offend her. From now on, I'll just be more careful!"

  After Ye Nan settled her own affairs, she finally understood why Zhang Li was so angry. It turned out that Zhang Li counted the number of medicines every month, and this time after the money was distributed, she found that the amount allocated to each person this month was less than the total by about 300 yuan, which meant that each colleague had lost around 300 yuan.

  Zhang Li, who suspected that Director had embezzled the money, called the pharmaceutical supplier to check the amount. The supplier said that the money had been paid in full to the director, and vaguely suggested that there might have been a mistake somewhere, and he would go with the director to re-check the account and gloss over the matter.

  So Zhang Li brought up the matter and asked if anyone else remembered the number of medicines, but who knew there was someone even more wronged than them here.

  Actually, Ye Nan has always been very depressed about money issues.

  Another month is coming to an end, and yesterday's salary slip for this month has already been issued. Looking at the numbers on it, Ye Nan couldn't help but sigh in dismay. Compared to last month, it was two hundred less, and with only 2,400 yuan, he could barely scrape by in a high-consumption provincial capital city like this. Fortunately, he didn't have to pay rent or anything, otherwise life would be really tough!

  If it weren't for the fact that good hospitals are really hard to find right now, Ye Nan would have quit her job a long time ago.

  But after some thought, he dismissed the idea. If he really resigned, he would have to go back home. In these few years of studying in the provincial city, he had become accustomed to life here and was already out of place with his hometown.

  There's no good way out of this, so I'll just have to be content with going to work, taking things one step at a time. With my current abilities, I'm confident that the future will bring something different - Ye Nan is quite self-assured about this.

  Although the money is not much, but still have to go to class, having a stable job makes my parents feel more at ease. Although I only earn enough money each month for myself and never send any money back home, my parents always say "keep the money for yourself, we can make do at home".

  But Ye Nan also knew that the clinic at home was not doing well, and new clinics were emerging one after another. Their own clinic could barely maintain itself.

  And my younger brother is also about to get married, but he doesn't have a decent job either. He works in a small factory in the town and can only earn a few hundred yuan per month.

  The other day, my mother called to say that she was planning to help my younger brother get married soon, so that he wouldn't be idle every day. She asked about Yenan's opinion on this matter.

  Ye Nan also knew what her mother meant by calling, fearing that if she let her younger brother get married first, she would have an opinion. So she quickly replied that she had no opinion and hoped her younger brother would get married early, it's better for someone to take care of him!

  This younger brother is getting married, and as the older brother, it's really embarrassing not to give some money. But if I want to give him some money, where would I get it from? After working for a year, I haven't saved much at all.

  Yen Nan, who is now under pressure from his current situation, has finally begun to think about his future. Although he now has the help of Fang Wei, this good brother, he still has to rely on himself after all. Can't spend his whole life just drifting along in this small hospital?

  Ye Nan was not reconciled, although he had gained special abilities, but how to rely on this ability to stand out, he temporarily did not have a good way, and could only slowly endure, looking forward to seeing what kind of development there would be in the future!

  But opportunities will still slowly emerge, and with Ye Nan's abilities, he won't be stuck in such a predicament for long. It's just that Ye Nan, who has always been lazy by nature, wouldn't think about how to change his situation unless he was under pressure. Now that the pressure is here, it might not be a bad thing!
