Make a living

Chapter 18

For many people, the weekend is a good time to take a break and relax.But there are still some people, even in this time period, are busy with things that have to be done.

Zheng Haichuan is like this, and so is Qi Yu.

As a doctor, Qi Yu doesn't just go to work and see a doctor.In addition to daily work, the profession of doctors is destined to keep a learning heart at all times.

Natural evolution has never stopped, medicine is constantly developing, and diseases are constantly changing.If they only focus on the current treatment plan and think that what they have learned is enough, then this is not only irresponsible to the patient, but also disrespectful to life.

Although the hospital where Qi Yu is currently staying is not large, the doctors are very dedicated and responsible, and they are also very motivated to study outside of work.Even the director of their office, who is almost 60 years old, will hold up a tablet to read the latest foreign documents every day when he is free.

Qi Yu originally graduated with a Ph.D. and has done many scientific research projects in school.In fact, the purpose of his study abroad was to study a certain intractable disease in depth. It was only later that the results of his research had no place for application, so Qi Yu chose clinical work.

Today's Qi Yu doesn't have any other hobbies. In his spare time, he picks up some interesting scientific research topics and does some basic research by himself.

Experimental research involving biology or pathology needs to be carried out in specialized laboratories, but there are also medical fields such as acousto-optic that are more oriented towards physical research, and the environmental requirements are not so high.Before clinical trials, such scientific research needs to debug a large number of electronic instruments and equipment, and even link computers and artificial intelligence technologies, relying more on human-computer interaction.

What Qi Yu did at home was one of them.

He studies optical-related medical technology, which can be widely used in orthopedics, ophthalmology, cardiovascular medicine, etc., and now has a certain mature technology in the world.However, due to technology monopoly, the introduction of relevant equipment into China requires high patent and equipment fees, which not every hospital can afford.Therefore, in the past few years, many patients with related diseases could only receive more conservative treatment plans, and some of them delayed the best time for rescue.

Qi Yu has studied this field with his tutor abroad, and has also minored in computer programming. Now he runs the program at home and modifies a few old equipment for simulation experiments.

This thing is effortless, but very energy-intensive.

Sometimes the program does not come out after running all night, and BUG pops up from time to time and needs to be debugged.

Qi Yu stayed up all night on Saturday, and after solving a particularly difficult problem, he didn't care about it anymore, and slept until the afternoon on Sunday.

After waking up, it was already dark.

Qi Yu's head was a little swollen, and he didn't intend to do any more academic work at the moment, so he walked to the open kitchen in the living room with his slippers on, and dug out a bag of instant noodles.

In the eyes of outsiders, Qi Yu seems to be the kind of refined urban youth who has to wash his chopsticks three times before eating, but this does not prevent this delicate gentleman from eating instant noodles with chopsticks washed three times.

Qi Yu has also suffered.It was because of the hardships that he valued the present comfort.

But when there are other more important things than quality of life and appetite, he is not so fastidious.

Like now.

He would rather take a hot shower than go out and look for a supper.

He was unkempt after staying up all night, and he couldn't stand it just by glancing at the mirror.

Qi Yu turned on the kettle, filled a pot of water under the filter water purifier next to the sink, and boiled it before going to take a bath first.When passing by the refrigerator, Qi Yu remembered that there was still some cooked food bought in the supermarket the day before yesterday, so he took it out and thawed it.

wow-

The faucet of hot water in the bathroom was raised, and soon, the transparent glass partition became blurred.

As for Qi Yu's refinement, it can be seen from the apartment he rents.

He obviously only lived alone, but he rented a two-bedroom house.One bedroom, one study room, and the living room outside is connected to the kitchen, which is enough living space for a family of three.Coupled with the wide open-air balcony, living alone is a bit of a luxury. Those who don't know it think that his golden house hides its beauty.

But Qi Yu himself enjoyed such spaciousness and tranquility.

No one to disturb, quiet enough for him to do what he wants by himself.

Really, there's only one downside to living in a house like this—everyone goes about their lives behind closed doors, without any notion of neighborhood.

If something happens to a person at home, it can be difficult to find someone to help.To put it bluntly, even if someone suddenly disappeared, it might not be discovered until several weeks later.

And now, Qi Yu encountered such an unexpected incident.

his home.

There is no water.

But Qi Yu was halfway through washing his hair, and there was still a pile of foam on his head.

"... FUCK."

As a doctor who can calmly suture a broken blood vessel during an operation, Qi Yu's face didn't fluctuate much at the moment except for the one word he blurted out just now.

He just tried to turn on and off the faucet several times, and turned the shower head left and right several times.

It's just that Dr. Qi is obviously a layman in this area. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't come out again without water.

The glass shrouded in mist gradually became transparent again. Feeling the slight coolness in the air, Qi Yu took a deep breath and gave up the meaningless struggle.He stepped out of the shower and took a clean towel to temporarily wipe the foam off his head.

There was still stickiness left on his body and hands that hadn't been washed off, Qi Yu was not in a good mood.

In this case, Qi Yu didn't want to wear clothes.He simply wrapped his lower body with a bath towel and walked out of the bathroom, after all, he would have to wash it again later.

Turning on the phone, Qi Yu immediately went to see the property group.

Under normal circumstances, if the water is cut off in the whole community, the property will definitely notify in advance.However, Qi Yu turned a lot of pages forward, but did not find any news about water cutoff, and now there is no new news popping up, so Qi Yu thought it was a problem with his own apartment alone.

So Qi Yu turned to the previous chat records with the landlord and found a phone number.

When signing the contract, the landlord left a contact information for home maintenance.He told Qi Yu that if there is a problem with the house, you can contact this company directly if you need it urgently. They are all acquaintances, and the shop is nearby, and the door-to-door repairs are very fast.

The landlord has several houses here, and he is not a poor person. When he saw that Qi Yu signed the contract with ease, he made a special promise. As long as there is no intentional damage, he will bear all the maintenance costs.

Qi Yu didn't care about the money issue either, he just wanted to get water right away, right away, right away, and finish the shower.
