With many questions, Zhou Qiao and Luo Ya returned to San Francisco.
Luo Ya said: "I have eradicated the Blood Gang and taken over their territory and business, but there are still several forces in the underground world of San Francisco. In addition to your Chinese gang, there is also a Crips Gang. I want to fight with the Hongmen and the Chinese The Qing gang has formed an alliance to deal with the Cripple Gang together, and I want you to be an introduction. I wonder if you are willing?"
Zhou Qiao was stunned for a moment, and then said with an embarrassed look on his face: "I'm just a little doctor. Although I know some peripheral members of the Hongmen and Huaqing gangs, I'm afraid I don't have that much face and I can't help you!"
After saying this, she felt a little ashamed. Luo Ya rarely begged him, but now that she was asking for help, he couldn't help her. She couldn't help but feel extremely guilty.
However, he is really not familiar with the Chinese gang!
Luo Ya laughed and said: "Do you have a misunderstanding? Our Eighteenth Street is like the scorching sun at noon, and it is also like a large population of lions in the prime of life on the African grasslands. It is actually very simple to find someone to form an alliance with. , all you need is an introducer and an excuse to get in touch, that’s it, it really doesn’t matter whether you’re familiar with it or not.”
Luo Ya is right. Diplomacy relies on one's own strength. I am strong, and I can use any excuse to express goodwill, and the other party will immediately post it in a playful way.
If you are not strong yourself, no matter how prestigious the middleman is, it will be useless.
In addition, even without a middleman, Luo Ya can contact the Chinese gang. It's just that he wants to earn some face for Zhou Qiao and improve his status in front of the Chinese big guys.
Zhou Qiao pondered for a moment and then agreed.
What surprised Zhou Qiao was that he had just called President Zhang and not long after he mentioned this matter, he actually received a reply from the other party!
And President Zhang is just a messenger!
Then, the two parties finalized the time and place of the meeting.
In the main hall of Hongmen in Chinatown.
Several Chinese gang bosses from the Hongmen and Huaqing Gangs came over in person to meet with Luo Ya and discuss cooperation matters.
In addition to dealing with the Crips Gang, they have also shown their intention to cooperate in many businesses.
Tang Yunxuan's boss, President Zhang of the Wushu Association, and others were also fortunate enough to witness the meeting. However, they didn't have to sit down and stood in a relatively remote corner on the outside.
Needless to say, Zhang Jianjun and Huang Xiaobing didn't even have a place to stand. They could only look around in the yard outside from a distance, and they couldn't even hear the conversation inside clearly.
The Chinese gang admired Zhou Qiao very much. They did not expect that Dr. Zhou had such a wide range of contacts. They had always wanted to contact this emerging gang on 18th Street, but they had never been able to get started. However, they did not expect that Zhou Qiao would take the initiative to introduce him to them!
When the big guys saw Zhou Qiao walking in hand in hand with Luo Ya, they were so shocked that they couldn't help but look at Zhou Qiao even more highly.
However, after Zhou Qiao sat for a while, he whispered to Luo Ya and found an excuse to escape!
Because he felt that he was not suitable here. He is just a small doctor, and it is not convenient for him to get involved in these things. Luo Ya and the bosses of the Chinese gang understand it, so they don't force him!
After that night, the nights in San Francisco became restless again. Firecrackers sounded from time to time every night. They were not small battles, but large firecrackers with a hundred thousand rings. The sound was terrifying.
Elena and Ava trembled with fear every night, and Zhou Qiao got so bold that he fell asleep listening to the sound of firecrackers.
The main reason is that during Chinese New Year celebrations, thousands of households blast off firecrackers, which is much more powerful than here in San Francisco!
…
However, Luo Ya and the others act very carefully and never go out to do these things during the day, so San Francisco still seems to be singing and dancing during the day. I guess the citizens have long been used to it!
Here, as long as you don't go out at night, safety is guaranteed.
During the day, there are also many police patrols. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, it can at least give citizens some peace of mind.
As autumn approaches, warm and cold air currents collide, and the temperature in San Francisco drops. More and more patients come to Iris Clinic for treatment due to colds, fevers and other minor ailments.
For most patients with colds and fevers, Zhou Qiao does not arrange infusions. Because of factors such as drug pH, osmotic pressure, endotoxin, concentration, liquid placement time, and drip speed, intravenous infusions are more likely to occur than other methods of administration. Adverse drug reactions.
Unreasonable and excessive use of intravenous infusion not only fails to improve the patient's therapeutic effect, but also poses many safety hazards.
However, when the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C (101.3°F), the high fever persists, or the body fluids and electrolytes are disordered due to severe dehydration, infusion must be considered.
This was the case for a Chinese aunt. Her high fever persisted and she strongly requested an infusion, so Zhou Qiao arranged it for her.
At lunch time, Auntie was only halfway through her infusion. Her husband was also Chinese and was very considerate. He brought a thermos box to deliver meals, which made Elena and Ava jealous.
"Qiao, when we go out to buy food at noon, let's go to the supermarket to buy supplies!" Elena quietly squeezed Zhou Qiao's hand and said.
Since the nights have been uneven recently, they dare not go out at night, and they are too busy during the day, so lunch and lunch breaks can be used just right.
"Would Ava be unhappy if she stays in the clinic to look after the family?" Zhou Qiao said hesitantly.
Usually when we go out to buy food, Elena and Ava go together.
"It's okay, she's not that stingy." Elena winked and said, "I'll go talk to her."
"Um."
Zhou Qiao was waiting for Elena at the door. Soon, Elena ran out happily, took Zhou Qiao's hand and walked out, looking a little impatient. Zhou Qiao never had time to get his driver's license, so Elena still drove.
After getting in the car, before it started, Zhou Qiao looked and saw that there was no one around, so he immediately hugged Elena in his arms, making Elena feel shy.
Zhou Qiao: "..."
Something is wrong, why is Elena so shy? They are usually more proactive and enthusiastic than themselves!
Did I realize that I was wrong about being impatient just now?
He was startled, and quickly grabbed Elena's left hand and took a closer look at her middle finger nail!
No nails, no chips!
Let me go, this is Ava, not Elena!
Zhou Qiao felt dizzy in his head. Why was he confused again? How many days have I gone without making a mistake?
Ava chuckled, glanced at her left middle finger thoughtfully, and thought to herself, no wonder Joe could tell my sister and me apart before, it turns out the key lies here. Well, I'll take a closer look when I get back and see what the subtle differences are.
Zhou Qiao let go of Ava and retracted his other hand. He was really embarrassed to continue that and felt uncomfortable sitting in the passenger seat.
"Coward." Ava muttered. She knew that Joe was afraid that his sister would be angry.
But, don't you think about whether I'm angry or not?
"Humph." The blonde and blue-eyed beauty shrugged, stepped on the accelerator, and the car flew out, shocking Zhou Qiao!
"Haha!" Ava's silvery laughter came from inside the car.
…
In the clinic, Elena stamped her feet angrily. She had been tricked by Ava.
When she went in to find Ava, Ava was about to change the Chinese aunt's medicine. When she asked, Ava didn't answer, but said she had to go to the toilet in a hurry and asked Elena to help change the medicine.
Elena is naturally happy to help.
Then, when she was changing her dressing, she saw Ava dragging Zhou Qiao and running out!
Elena wanted to chase her, but the Chinese aunt and uncle beside her urged her, so she had no choice but to continue.
When she finished her work, comforted the Chinese aunt, and chased her out, where were Zhou Qiao and Ava?
"This little girl is getting more and more naughty!"
"Forget it, I won't argue with you this time. Anyway, going to the supermarket to buy things is not an easy task, so why not take a break in the clinic and check your phone!"
Elena was sitting on the chair at the front desk. Suddenly, a tall, thin girl with chestnut hair and many small freckles on her face walked in with a straight face.
"Good afternoon, may I help you?" Elena stood up immediately and asked with a smile.
It was Murphy who came.
She looked around the clinic and asked, "Is Dr. Zhou Qiao here?"
"Well, he just went out. Are you feeling unwell and came to see Dr. Zhou? If you have made an appointment, would I be honored to know your name?" Elena said.
Murphy glanced at Elena coldly and ignored her. When he saw a rest area on the right, he walked straight over and sat down by the window. Then he took out a thick medical book from his backpack. He looked at it quietly.
Elena: "..."
She thought for a while and asked, "Do you need something to drink? Coffee? Black tea?"
Murphy was reading a book by himself, not even glancing at Elena from the corner of his eye.
Elena had just been teased by Ava, and she was in a rather depressed mood. At this time, she couldn't help but curled her lips and ignored Murphy.
Elena thought secretly, wondering what this strange girl was here for, and it didn't look like she was here to see a doctor, so let her wait here until Zhou Qiao comes back.
After about ten minutes, Elena still made a cup of fragrant American coffee and brought it over.
Murphy smelled the refreshing fragrance and couldn't help but look up at Elena. Elena smiled at her and said, "I don't know your taste, so I made it according to my preference. You try it! "
"Thank you." Murphy finally said bluntly, and then continued to read.
In the infusion room, the Chinese aunt was calling the nurse, and Elena turned around and walked quickly towards the infusion room. However, she couldn't help but murmur in her heart, this is really a strange girl!
She felt a coldness in Murphy that could not be ignored by anyone thousands of miles away.
In the infusion room, after the aunt finished injecting the medicine, Elena very skillfully helped her remove the needle and gave some instructions.
At this moment, Cathy's extremely frightened and panicked voice came from outside.
