Chapter 628: I Want to Drink Jin Jun Mei
```
Just after five in the afternoon, Chen Cang received a call from Qin Xiaoyuan.
Staring at the phone, Chen Cang hesitated for a long time.
Should he pick it up?
Would something bad happen if he did?
After a long hesitation, Chen Cang still answered, deciding to carefully test the waters first, "Hello? Dean, how are you..."
Hearing Chen Cang’s voice, Qin Xiaoyuan knew this kid must have heard the ringtone a while ago but just didn’t answer.
"Hmm, come to my office, and make it quick."
With just that sentence, Qin Xiaoyuan hung up, very much displaying the air of a dean.
It made Chen Cang’s heart flutter.
Qin Yue glanced over at Chen Cang and asked curiously, "What’s wrong?"
Chen Cang swallowed and spoke in a low voice, "Our dad is calling for me!"
Qin Yue was taken aback and almost laughed out loud, "Go on, then? When you go in, just ask, ’What’s wrong, dad?’ See what reaction you get."
Chen Cang couldn’t help but laugh wryly, "Forget about it, I still want to live a few more days."
Having said that, Chen Cang sighed and got up to walk towards the administrative building.
After knocking, he discovered that the door opened with his knock; clearly, Old Qin had already left the door for him.
Now Chen Cang was quite familiar with the dean’s office, having been there several times.
The saying goes: the first time is awkward, the second time is familiar, and by the third time, the door is already left open for you.
When Qin Xiaoyuan saw Chen Cang come in, he smiled, "Sit down, I’ll make you a cup of tea. Biluochun? Or Longjing?"
Upon hearing that, Chen Cang held his breath and concentrated, starting to rack his brain.
These two teas?
Was there a deeper meaning?
Biluochun!
Longjing!
Both green teas... could it be... there was an ulterior message?
Chen Cang gave an awkward smile, "Do you have any Jinjunmei?"
Qin Xiaoyuan was momentarily taken aback, "Oh? You don’t like green tea? Green tea cools you down, I see you’re quite fired up."
Chen Cang gave another awkward smile, "My stomach has been a bit cold lately, the doctor told me to drink something warming..."
Yes!
Chen Cang felt that the two exchanges he’d just had were quite high-level!
It seemed like a casual talk about tea, but in fact, they were truly engaged in a tough battle.
Qin Xiaoyuan smiled and took out a box of Jinjunmei to brew for Chen Cang.
The kid really treated this place like his own home.
Qin Xiaoyuan couldn’t help but smile, taking out the Jinjunmei and about to brew the tea.
But suddenly he felt something was off and curiously asked, "How did you know I have black tea here?"
Chen Cang blurted out, "Oh! Yueyue mentioned yesterday that you had brought Jinjunmei from home to the hospital."
After speaking, Chen Cang immediately regretted it!
He wished he could slap his own mouth.
The tea leaves that Qin Xiaoyuan had just brewed nearly ended up getting poured into the trash can!
What on earth hadn’t this sly cotton told Chen Cang?
Sooner or later, the family’s secrets would all end up disclosed by Qin Yue, this little traitor.

After sitting down, Qin Xiaoyuan felt that he should get straight to the point.
Otherwise, if he obtained some news from Chen Cang again, he would surely be infuriated.
"You know, Xiao Chen, this afternoon, I organized a meeting because I wanted to have a good talk with you and hear your thoughts," Qin Xiaoyuan said frankly.
"Actually, let me be straightforward with you, without beating around the bush." Your journey continues at NovelBin.Côm
"To tell you the truth, the speed of your progress has far exceeded my expectations, and your influence is also growing. Let’s not even talk about the surgical research and clinical base, you’re going to represent Dongyang Province in the national competition for the cardiac surgery. If you win an award, there will be a myriad of hospitals coming after you."
"The Second Provincial Hospital is no exception; they definitely want to cultivate you."
"The core content of today’s meeting is that next year the hospital plans to construct at least an eight-story emergency building, and they want you to be the director," Qin Xiaoyuan explained.
This seemingly casual remark stunned Chen Cang.
This was no longer about managing a department. This was about managing an entire building!
Plainly speaking, it meant being the director of several departments!
The gravity of this responsibility was no ordinary matter!
With this in mind, Chen Cang couldn’t help but say, "This... Dean Qin, isn’t this a bit too... Will I be able to handle it?"
Qin Xiaoyuan raised his eyebrow: "Why wouldn’t you be able to handle it? Isn’t Guo Yunfei the director of the emergency department of the Cardiovascular Hospital? Are you any lesser than him?"
Chen Cang frowned: "It’s not about whether I am capable or not, but... Is it really going to be easy to pass the board? After all... it’s a significant role!
Even a single staffing can cause disputes, let alone the director of a building. Shouldn’t it at least be a vice-president in charge?"
Qin Xiaoyuan chuckled: "Look at it this way, would you stay if the Second Provincial Hospital didn’t offer such conditions?"
"Initially, you were just another doctor, someone insignificant, anyone felt they could push you around, but can you be treated the same way as back then now?"
"In plain terms, it’s not just about the staffing or how difficult it is to secure a director position. In the end, it’s all about your worth. The more valuable you are, the bigger the platform you’ll get. You understand what I mean, right?"
These words from Qin Xiaoyuan left Chen Cang speechless.
Indeed, like when Professor Tang, Wang Yushan, and others discussed collaboration with the Second Provincial Hospital, they specifically demanded that if Chen Cang was not the director, they would not cooperate.
This was clearly an acknowledgment of Chen Cang’s worth.
In this society, your identity and status will always be in proportion to your value.
And your value can either come from within yourself or from the support behind you (emphasis)!
Qin Xiaoyuan sighed: "In truth, the Second Provincial Hospital is only so big. It’s not as high as Xiehe, Anzhen, Fuwai... These places are much better."
"At first, I thought after you married Yueyue, you might slowly become a director or something. It wouldn’t be a big deal to make you a dean in the future, but now I think, the Second Provincial Hospital cannot contain you."
"Even if you’re not willing to leave, I have to push you forward."
"Yueyue is going to pursue her PhD next year, and you should also take a year to go out and further your study."
"When you come back from your advanced studies, the emergency building will be completed, and then you can take over as the director of emergency services."
Hearing Qin Xiaoyuan’s words, Chen Cang felt genuinely warmed at heart — after all, having someone think so deeply for you, guide and pave the way for you, besides your own parents, who else could it be?
"I’ve actually considered letting you go directly to a large hospital, but... with your current abilities, you would be insignificant in those major hospitals and wouldn’t get much of an opportunity to train. Instead of that, it’s better to come back."
"The platform of the Second Provincial Hospital is not that small; it’s sufficient for you to grow."
"After the emergency building is completed, that will be your second platform. Once you turn the emergency department of the Second Provincial Hospital into a top-notch provincial facility, the world is your oyster."
Qin Xiaoyuan had indeed designed a safe and stable path for Chen Cang.
If Chen Cang is a dragon, then being the emergency department director is the starting point of his ascent.
If Chen Cang is a snake, then the role of emergency department director is the turning point that will help him smoothly transition to becoming the dean of the Second Provincial Hospital.
Chen Cang took a sip of hot tea, feeling warm inside.
He wasn’t sure if it was the warmth of the tea or the words.
