I was immersed in the conjecture and was taken aback, and took a good look at the man in front of me.
I saw him in his 30s, with a flat head and fat face, and a very strong physique, but he was not too tall, and the clothes he wore were not particular about him. He was just an ordinary short-sleeved round-neck t-shirt with jeans and sneakers underneath.
After that, I looked at Wang Nan and Lao Qi again, and saw that they also had inexplicable expressions, and it seemed that they did not know this person.
"You are..." I mumbled and asked with a dazed expression.
"I'm at the next table. See some good drinkers, let's toast a drink!" The man said boldly.
Oh! It turned out to be so, we thought it was an acquaintance we met. Although such scenes are rare, it is not surprising. Therefore, a few of us, especially Lao Qi and I, brought up wine glasses.
The man raised his glass and drank all the liquor in the glass. "I did it, you are free!"
"Awesome, this drink is no less than Lao Qi!" I couldn't help sighing in my heart. Although they said it was random, we couldn't let the wind go, so Lao Qi and I also had a glass of white wine. To be honest, at this time, I am already a bit drunk...
"The two brothers are really good drinkers!" The man exclaimed with a thumbs up. "To meet today is fate. My surname is Liu. I don't know what the two brothers call?"
Last name Liu? Brother Liu? Suddenly I thought of the famous verse in Henan opera: Brother Liu’s speech, the rationale is too partial...
Later, Lao Qi and I also reported our surnames separately. We thought this should be over, and he should go back to the table for dinner. Unexpectedly, this eldest brother Liu moved a chair over and sat directly at the table, but he really didn't regard himself as an outsider.
The four of us were more or less uncomfortable on their faces. We thought that this person was too familiar. We didn't invite him. He actually sat down, which was too abrupt.
Brother Liu seemed to see the unnaturalness of the few of us, and said quickly: "Um, it's abrupt, I actually have something to ask for..."
As soon as I heard this, I suddenly became alert, asking for something? Could it be that you met with a sales promotion? Or is it high-level begging? It's not like it!
"Well, brother Gao, are you a psychiatrist?" Then, Brother Liu turned to me and asked.
"Yes!" I replied.
"I also overheard you talking just now, only to realize that you are a psychiatrist. I just want to beg you for something..." Brother Liu explained.
Oh! It turned out to be like this, my nerves relaxed. It seems that Big Brother Liu in front of him was confused because he listened to us and knew that I was a psychiatrist, so he came to talk to him.
"What do you want to consult?" I asked him in the same tone as when sitting in the clinic.
"This... It's inconvenient to speak here, Brother Gao, would you like to leave me a call?" Brother Liu hesitated and didn't say directly.
I touched my pocket and brought the card out today, so I handed him a card for the clinic.
Brother Liu took the card and looked at it, "Tomorrow Psychological Clinic, this name is so good!"
"That's too good, if you go there, call ahead to make an appointment!" I warned.
"Okay, no problem, then I'll leave first." Brother Liu waved goodbye to us as he said, and left the hotel. I looked at the dining table next to me. The waiter had already started to clean up. Some of them had finished eating, and Brother Liu came to ask.
Several of his friends had already gone out. He took this opportunity to come here, but he didn't want to say directly that there seemed to be something very private, involving mental illness or obstacles, and he didn't want to let others know.
In fact, many patients with mental illnesses have their own illnesses involved. Therefore, our first professional ethics as psychologists is to keep patients confidential. This is what I have always kept in mind.
"I said you stepped on shit luck, you can do business if you eat a hot pot!" After Brother Liu left, Old Qi began to tease over there again.
"What kind of business, I am serving the public and sending warmth! This is a public welfare cause!" I said with a tall look.
"Yeah, for public welfare, then you don't collect money!" Xiaofeng, the girl, is still on the same line with Lao Qi, and at this moment, she is on the same line with Lao Qi.
"I..." I was really speechless when she choked on this sentence.
In fact, this is really the case. The purpose of opening a clinic is really to serve the public. If a doctor only wants to make money, he is not a good doctor. But I have to survive too! The current status of the clinic’s bleak benefits also worries me.
Although there were 4 waves of patients today, it was a coincidence that they were all concentrated in one day. Tomorrow may have to be a deserted 31 novel app download address, and the sound of falling leaves!
In the evening, I saw sister Wu look like that, and I couldn't bear to charge for it, alas! This heart is hard to come down, although it is normal labor income, but when it comes to fees, I always feel a little blush, embarrassed to say.
"Gao Xin, what's the matter with you?" Wang Nan asked with concern when seeing me stunned. She was in a good mood at this time, unlike when she was in tears just now.
"That's right, senior, what's wrong with you, unhappy?" Xiaofeng also interjected there.
"Oh!" I sighed, "I just worry about the effectiveness of this clinic!"
"Your kid is too greedy, don't you think it's not enough to visit four patients a day? If you have more people, you have to expand the business area!" The old Qi obviously didn't understand what I was worried about, so he said coldly.
"Four patients a day? How about the average?" I asked Old Qi in return.
Zhu Nao Lao Qi, only then understood what I meant. He took a sip of wine and stopped talking, as if he was thinking. He is quite a friend, he is probably trying to help me find a way.
At this moment, Wang Nan spoke.
"In our hospital, sometimes the patients who come to the hospital are not schizophrenia, which is a general psychological disorder. At that time, I and..." Wang Nan glanced at Lao Qi, "Doctor Lu and I can recommend them to your clinic."
"Yes, why didn't I expect it before!" Hearing Wang Nan's words, Lao Qi suddenly realized. "Lao Gao, don't worry, not only that, we will also introduce you to the past when we usually hear and understand!"
After listening to Wang Nan and Lao Qi's words, I was moved in my heart, and my nose was a little sour. Looking at these friends in front of me, I feel that I am not alone. They can still help me out when it matters.
So, I picked up my glass and said, "Then I would like to thank everyone, including Xiaofeng..." I signaled Xiaofeng to raise his glass, "To you!"
After speaking, I drank the whole glass of wine to show my sincerity. Really, I do thank them from the bottom of my heart, including Xiaofeng. The current Xiaofeng is already my right-hand man. If it weren't for her, I'm afraid this clinic would still be uncertain. Moreover, she doesn't want a salary, which makes me feel very guilty.
After another glass of wine, the second pot of white wine also bottomed out! Except for Xiaofeng who has been drinking that glass of white wine, Lao Qi and I drank at least a catty, and Wang Nan also drank more than half a catty. With this effort, Lao Qi is begging for wine again.
"Don't ask for it, drink more!" I quickly stopped him.
"It's okay! How can this be!" Old Qi said stubbornly, and then called the waiter to serve wine.
I took a look at Wang Nan. Her face was reddened, but she didn't see any drunkenness. When I saw her, she thoughtfully brought me a piece of mutton.
"Eat a la carte, don't just drink..." A thoughtful remark made me feel very excited!
In my impression, the woman who has said similar things to me before seems to be the only mother, and there is no one else. A feeling of happiness came into my heart spontaneously. Before I knew it, my goodwill for Wang Nan sublimated again.
"What a cozy scene..." Old Qi was about to finish drinking, and he said enviously when he saw Wang Nan being so considerate to me.
With a "pop", Xiaofeng used a spoon to scoop up a lot of shabu, and fell on the plate in front of Lao Qi, splashing out the soup! Old Qi was taken aback, and shouted at Xiaofeng: "What are you doing?"
Xiaofeng pouted angrily and said, "I'll give you more for the whole hour, so that you won't be envious of others!"
"Can't you be gentle?"
"Auntie, I'm like this!"
As the two of them started to quarrel, Wang Nan and I looked at the Huanxi friend and couldn't help laughing. (End of this chapter)
