I, Doctor in the US
Chapter 38: Madam, you don’t want your husband’s affairs to be known by all Americans, do you?
CHAPTER 38: CHAPTER 38: MADAM, YOU DON’T WANT YOUR HUSBAND’S AFFAIRS TO BE KNOWN BY ALL AMERICANS, DO YOU?
That night.
Alice is in the ICU, let her sleep well.
Zhou Mo Sen came to Howard’s ward.
The old doctor lay on the hospital bed, very weak.
"The surgery was successful."
Hearing Zhou Mo Sen’s words, Old Howard seemed to have a glimmer of hope.
"Thank you so much."
"It’s my duty." At this moment, Zhou Mo Sen actually wanted to say that he had already gotten close with Alice.
But, he ultimately didn’t say it.
Old Howard already knew he was at the end of his life, and with his last effort said, "Dr. Zhou, I’ve indeed done many bad things before. I’m truly sorry, and since you saved my daughter’s life, I’m even more ashamed to ask for your forgiveness."
That remark was still acceptable.
Zhou Mo Sen said, "You’d better save your words."
Old Howard shook his head, "I’m afraid if I don’t say it, I won’t have another chance."
Zhou Mo Sen had no choice but to listen.
Old Howard continued, "Actually, when I first became a doctor, I was full of enthusiasm, wanting to do many meaningful things.
But later on, I found out this world is run by the US Dollar.
I earned money without any limits, ignoring many things.
Like Alice.
Now, I am going to that other world.
I ask you, if possible, please take care of her."
Zhou Mo Sen, of course, could only nod.
And then, "I am a bad example, don’t be like me."
What did Old Howard mean by that?
However, Zhou Mo Sen said, "Actually, earning a bit more money isn’t a bad thing. It’s just that I probably won’t partake in selling blood business."
This remark made Old Howard laugh.
Soon after, the old doctor closed his eyes.
...
"Plastic surgeon completes the world’s first laparoscopic liver transplant!"
"Even a plastic surgeon can save lives!"
"Dr. Zhou Mosen, a model physician!"
The news of this surgery made it to the papers the second day.
Of course, TV stations also did quite a lot of reporting.
But, it must be said that newspapers are good at making headlines.
Any doctor who sees such a headline would find it both amusing and absurd.
How could a plastic surgeon possibly complete such a high-difficulty surgery?
But when they open the newspaper, it makes perfect sense.
Zhou Mo Sen completed it together with General Surgery authority Professor Hansen.
It’s like a bronze player meeting a celestial ally, directly boosting them to a glorious king.
Such reporting naturally doesn’t have any problems.
The key point is, Zhou Mo Sen has once again become famous!
Previously, he was mostly famous in San Diego.
In Los Angeles, of course, some news reports could be seen about him.
But this time, it was different.
NBC is a nationwide TV station in the United States.
Although Zhou Mo Sen can’t be said to be a household name across America now.
At least, one can say he’s become well-known far and wide.
If we talk about influence.
Zhou Mo Sen is probably the most well-known cosmetic surgeon in all America in recent times!
So, wouldn’t his two clinics be bustling like crazy?
Indeed, they were so busy the consulting phone lines were overwhelmed.
Originally, there were already many accumulated surgeries.
Now they had to be scheduled further back.
Zhou Mo Sen, after returning from Los Angeles, directly threw himself into work.
Interestingly, some patients even asked him for autographs.
It’s truly a saying, fame comes at a price.
But we are benevolent doctors.
Signing is just a matter offhand... Huh?
Some requested signatures in rather special places?
Americans can be quite open sometimes.
Autographs were just a minor episode; the important thing was to be busy with surgeries.
There were many injection tasks, mainly using hyaluronic acid for fine adjustments.
Most of these were given to Andy.
The anesthetist Uchida Yuiko also had to see some patients sometimes.
We now actually have two clinics.
At the Howard Clinic, more staff needs to be recruited.
Otherwise, it’s really too busy to manage.
When Zhou Mo Sen did a calculation.
It was already quite popular in the past two weeks, and now it’s even more so.
In just these three weeks, after deducting a lot of costs.
He could at least net $10-20,000 US dollars.
Of course, this is mainly because of the current booming popularity.
And estimating.
This kind of boom will likely last at most half a year.
But that’s more than enough.
Calculating, in about two to three months, he can make back the previous money.
Bring it all back in.
That scoundrel Doyle wouldn’t find out anything even if he tried.
Zhou Mo Sen was thinking about his profits amidst his busyness.
It must be said, opening a hospital in America is truly profitable!
Let’s do a simple estimate, according to the current trend.
I can net a couple million this year quite easily.
In that case, I have to consider finding an accountant or something to help with tax avoidance.
Zhou Mo Sen really thought things through.
Just as he was thinking about money, the phone rang.
"A female producer from a TV station wants to see you."
TV station?
Alright, let her come.
Zhou Mo Sen tidied his white coat in his office.
Before long, the door was knocked.
"Come in, the door’s not locked."
A capable woman walked in.
She seemed somewhat familiar.
Then, the woman started to introduce herself.
"Hello, Dr. Zhou. I’m Chris Jenner, a producer from NBC."
Huh? It’s her?
Zhou Mo Sen reached out his hand and shook hers politely.
"Hello, I’m Zhou Mo Sen."
The two sat face-to-face, and then Chris Jenner spoke up.
"Dr. Zhou, I’m here this time because..."
Zhou Mo Sen raised an eyebrow, interrupting her, "Is it about Mr. Jenner?"
This question made Chris quite embarrassed.
Actually, Chris Jenner and Bruce Jenner had two daughters.
Which means there was no issue with that aspect initially.
But in recent years, Chris felt her husband was quite problematic.
Why was he becoming more and more effeminate?
And this time, of course, it was because her husband came to see this Dr. Zhou.
"That’s right, it’s about my husband."
"So, Madam, what aspect would you like to consult about?"
Chris said with a solemn expression, "I hope that, whatever happens, Dr. Zhou, don’t agree to my husband’s request!"
Obviously, as his wife, she knew what her husband wanted.
Zhou Mo Sen really wanted to laugh at that moment.
Because he knew the result.
So he asked back.
"However, legally speaking, if he doesn’t come to me, he will find another doctor."
The subtext here is:
Chris Jenner, you are interfering with your husband’s rights.
And you’re interfering with my rights to practice medicine.
In short, you don’t have that authority!
Chris was a bit embarrassed, but she still said, "What if I can help Dr. Zhou?"
Zhou Mo Sen frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"
Time to discuss terms.
What can this woman offer me?
I believe many ordinary Chinese people have heard of the Kardashian Clan.
But what this clan is exactly, many Chinese people might not really know.
Especially this Chris.
If she wasn’t said to be a TV producer, Zhou Mo Sen had no idea she did that job.
So, what kind of terms can she offer?
Chris Jenner said: "As an exchange, I can help Dr. Zhou get on the ’Late Night Show’.
This condition is indeed very tempting.
The ’Late Night Show’ has quite good ratings in the United States.
But is that enough?
Zhou Mo Sen remembers that they indeed divorced, and then Mr. Jenner changed to a lady.
"Is a ’Late Night Show’ still not enough?"
Chris’s eyes widened.
At this moment, Zhou Mo Sen’s face nearly wrote:
Madam, you also don’t want your husband’s matter to be known by all America!
Chris was extremely embarrassed, "What exactly do you want?"
Zhou Mo Sen laughed, "You are a producer, so how about we make a TV show?"
What?
Chris was very shocked, "What kind of show?"
Zhou Mo Sen actually thought of it on the spot, of course, inspired because their Kardashian Clan has been doing reality shows all along.
"A reality TV series about plastic surgery."
This suggestion directly made Chris freeze.
She was initially surprised, but soon a look of excitement appeared on her face!
Zhou Mo Sen remembered there was once a TV series called ’Pretty Hurt’.
It introduced the work of a plastic surgeon who deals with many patients every day, mainly giving them injections and tweaking.
Now, the resources of Chris Jenner as a producer can be used.
Create a reality show with my clinic as the stage.
Getting on the ’Late Night Show’ is great, but it doesn’t compare to doing a season of a TV series.
Of course, I’m Zhou Mo Sen, I’m an adult.
I want it all!
And what Zhou Mo Sen did not expect is Chris Jenner, after coming to her senses, said this sentence.
"For this show... I mean, can my daughter participate? She also wants to change herself..."
Well, she’s really taking advantage of the opportunity!
But, Zhou Mo Sen immediately realized.
This is Chris Jenner.
This is the fame history of the Kardashian Clan.
They have always been utilizing every opportunity to become famous!
