I run a clinic in the United States

Chapter 293 An order of 500 million for Qiao
  This strike was quite loud.

In Detroit, the United Auto Workers union is taking its first-ever joint strike action against the "Big Three" automakers -- General Motors, Ford and Stellantis Group -- following a strike by Kaiser Permanente health care workers to raise pay. and improve working conditions.

What Talia didn't expect was that Hollywood screenwriters and many actors also started going on strike.

The production and broadcast of many major movies and TV series have been halted.

Her best friend Jenna called to tell her that she had joined the strike and warmly invited Thalia to strike as well.

Originally, Thalia had a film to shoot soon, but now it was better, and she could continue her vacation and dance.

Although Talia was shocked, she was still very happy.

Because, it’s nice to strike.

First, the low-level screenwriters and actors, such as Jenna, can take this opportunity to increase their salary, while she can take the opportunity to take a break and get tired of spending every day in Sacramento with Zhou Qiao, right?
  Zhou Qiao's ability made her appreciate the taste, and now she can't stop.

With Zhou Qiao here, there is no need to worry about her grandfather's condition.

The top management of Kaiser Medical Center learned that California's top doctor Qiao Zhou was providing free medical support in the ward, so they invited him to "fly the knife" because there were too many surgeries that needed to be performed.

The price offered by the other party was very high, with each operation starting at tens of thousands of dollars.

But Zhou Qiao thought about it and declined.

Because some money can be earned and some money cannot be earned.

People are working hard outside to go on strike to fight for better working conditions and benefits. You are helping the capitalists behind the scenes and going against the great working people. This is equivalent to "making trouble". Is it justified?

Can the working people spare you?

Zhou Qiao himself naturally stands in the ranks of the working people.

He took care of Talia's grandfather and the patients in the surrounding wards, which was considered to be the most benevolent thing.

The most important thing is that there is no particularly urgent surgery. If it's really urgent, you can go to other hospitals.

Although this hospital is the largest hospital in Sacramento, as the capital city, there are still many good hospitals with strong medical capabilities.

Zhou Qiao took care of Talia's grandfather during the day and stayed in the hotel at night. Talia sneaked in and "took care of" Talia.

Finally, finally, Thalia was "eaten".

I have to say that Talia, the little fairy, is really a delicious snack. When Zhou Qiao eats her, it is like swallowing a ginseng fruit, and he feels like he is soaring.

Not a single pore in my body feels uncomfortable. If you eat it once, your life span will be extended by several years!
  The system also set up a special account for Talia.

The same goes for Thalia. She had tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time, and Zhou Qiao was so good, good at playing, full of tricks, and persistent in fighting. Talia felt that it would be impossible to accept other men in the future.

In fact, this is true for Elena, Ava, Murphy, Stephanie, and Loya. After experiencing Zhou Qiao, I no longer have any interest in other men.

Especially recently, Zhou Qiao has experienced the baptism of Level III transformation potion, and his whole person has been reborn and his strength has been improved to a higher level.

……

The strike at Kaiser Permanente lasted for three full days and ended with a temporary compromise by Kaiser Permanente's top management.

Of course, it was not a simple compromise, but in these three days, the labor and management sides conducted as many as seven or eight negotiations and tug-of-wars.

And it was only a temporary compromise.

Next, after normal work resumes, there will still be a new round of negotiations and the signing of specific agreements.

Zhou Qiao once asked Dr. Victoria Fevers, what should I do if the negotiation does not go smoothly?
  Dr. Victoria Feves shrugged and shouted confidently: "Of course the strike will continue! If Caesars executives continue to adopt unfair labor practices and engage in bad faith negotiations, we will hold a meeting next month. A bigger strike."

Zhou Qiao had to give a thumbs up, no, two thumbs up at the same time!

"Great job! Support you!"

Even though the United States is wrong in every way, strikes are really a fine tradition that deserves to be encouraged and carried forward.

More than a hundred years ago, there was the slogan "8 hours of work, 8 hours of self-control, 8 hours of rest". Now, there are still so many 996, and some people even support 996.

Many private companies cannot even take weekend breaks.

……

Kaiser Medical Center resumed normal work, and Talia's grandfather was recovering better and better, so after Zhou Qiao stayed for a few more days, he planned to return to San Francisco.

"Qiao, I really can't let you go." Thalia said reluctantly.

She originally wanted to follow Zhou Qiao back to San Francisco, but her mother asked her to stay here and spend more time with her grandparents, so Talia had no choice but to stay.

In fact, the two old people are old and don't know how many years they can live. Thalia has been busy, and there happened to be a strike in Hollywood recently, so she could take some time off at her grandma's house to spend some time with her family.

Naturally, her mother also stayed.

"It's okay, we have a long time to come." Zhou Qiao kissed the little fairy and drove away immediately.

He was returning during the day, so Ariel didn't need to pick him up.

After driving on the highway all the way, we arrived in San Francisco in an hour.

Veronica also participated in the strike. In fact, she is not short of money. After all, she is the little princess of Governor Hulk's family, and acting is just for fun.

"Daddy, have you heard that Thalia does charity? I also want to do charity." At a cocktail party, Veronica held Governor Hulk's arm and said coquettishly.

"Okay! As long as you are happy, little baby!" Governor Hulk naturally strongly agreed and asked, "How much do you plan to spend?"

"Talia spent more than one million, I should spend at least five million." Veronica tilted her head and thought for a while, then said.

After Talia's agent released and ran the edited charity video, the response was particularly good. Because of the incident with little Njeli, Talia's popularity skyrocketed.

Veronica was really envious, so she wanted to do the same thing.

"No problem." Governor Hulk nodded immediately, then took out the check, "swiped it" and wrote one.

"Daddy, you're so kind!" Veronica stood up on tiptoes, kissed her dad on the cheek, and skipped away with the check.

Governor Hulk's wife came forward with narrowed eyes: "You, just pet her."

Governor Hulk smiled slightly and said: "Spending five million can give her something to do and make her happy for a long time. It's actually worth it."

"Yes. Have you heard about Texas Governor Stark's youngest son?" the lady smiled.

"I heard that old Stark probably fainted in the toilet, haha." Governor Hulk couldn't help laughing.

Because when Governor Stark met with him more than a year ago, he would always brag in front of him, saying how great his youngest son was, how motivated he was, and how he wanted to make a career.

Then, in just one year, the company lost nearly $[-] billion.

Five billion U.S. dollars, even the old Stark is a bit exhausted.

Veronica is indeed unmotivated and just wants to have fun all day long. Even if she is an actor, it is just for fun and mostly for fun, but so what? Spending millions on charity is really very economical and worry-free. Most importantly, you can gain fame and improve your personal and family image.

Governor Hulk's position also requires a positive image. He is also happy that his daughter can help him a little.

Eat, drink and have fun, even if you spend money on charity, you can't lose.

What I fear most is suddenly making progress and wanting to have a career. Or be involved in gambling, stocks, futures, etc. It's really a bottomless pit, no amount of money can hold it!
  Veronica took the "pocket money" and happily went to find Thalia.

Yes, Veronica also lives in Sacramento these days, because this is the capital of California and the long-term residence of Governor Hulk.

Governor Hulk's home and official office are here.

Of course, rich people like Governor Hulk have mansions in many places across the United States. There are hundreds of properties in California alone. They live here and there, and it is impossible to say where their real home is.

If he really wants to talk about his home, then California is his home.

"You also want to do charity? Where do you plan to do it?" Thalia warmly entertained her friend Veronica.

Veronica said: "Of course it's the same as you, but also in the medical field. Those poor people, especially those with serious diseases, are really pitiful. I want to help them."

Thalia: "..."

Suddenly, Talia's heart moved and she invited: "If you want to provide medical support to the poor, then I suggest you go to Dr. Zhou's Iris Clinic. He has high medical skills and can be regarded as a truly famous general practitioner. I haven’t seen a disease that he can’t cure.”

"Your idea is great. I think so too." Veronica thought to herself, Dr. Zhou and I have a deeper relationship than you. I was burned by the fire in Hawaii last year, and there are not many good skin spots on my body. Dr. Zhou helped me repair it inch by inch.

Even that area was shaped by Dr. Zhou! Of course I want to support Dr. Zhou!
  "Okay. Then let's do what we say. Let's use our connections to find patients who need help!"

The corners of Talia's mouth curled up, and she thought to herself, I am so capable, and I got another five million orders for Joe. When Joe found out, he had to "thank" me profusely.

She recalled the joy she had had with Zhou Qiao these days, and the smile between her eyebrows couldn't help but become sweeter.

Veronica was stunned and couldn't help shouting: "Talia, why do I feel that you have become more beautiful recently than before?"

Thalia said nonsense seriously: "Maybe it's because Sacramento has a good environment and fresh air. It's a very livable city."

In fact, no matter how good the environment here is, without Zhou Qiao's nourishment, she would not be as beautiful as before.

……

Employees at Iris Clinic also inevitably talk about the uproarious Kaiser Permanente strike. After all, they are also members of the medical community.

Rachel: "It's better to have a small clinic like ours. The work is easy and you can leave on time after get off work. Sometimes you can still have fun at work, and the salary is high."

Vivica smiled and said: "That's because we met a good boss!"

"Yes, yes!" Park Xiuzhu was the first to agree, giving a thumbs up. "The boss is not only handsome, but also generous and generous. Like the Korean clinic I used to work in, the boss was really stingy."

Jin Jizhen curled her lips: "It's not just stingy, it's simply mean. I have to say that Boss Zhou is the best leader I have ever met."

Then, everyone unanimously agreed. Looking back carefully, he was really the best boss they had ever encountered.

Park Soo-joo thought to herself: "Dr. Zhou is not only generous to us, but also generous to his family. He often gives Yoona red envelopes. Yoona gets a share of it during every year and festival. Where can I find such a good boss? The strike is in Iris. There’s no way a flower clinic will happen.”

In private, Zhou Qiao talked to the four girls, and the four girls also stated that they would never go on strike.

Elena: "It was so difficult for you before, but Ava and I never left each other, right?"

Ava: "That's right! It's so sad that you still doubt us!"

Zhou Qiao held them in his arms and loved them very much.

When she was alone with Stephanie, Stephanie said in a charming voice: "Strike? How is it possible? Working here with Boss Zhou is easy, the salary and year-end bonus are high, and there are free high-quality men to play with. How wonderful!"

Zhou Qiao: "..."

"I think your personality as a slutty witch is ready to show off again, right? Let's see how I deal with you!"

Stephanie dodged and ran away: "Come on, just use whatever means you have..."

Zhou Qiao, a hungry tiger, chased after him, and a thrilling and thrilling indoor chase began.

Two hours later, Stephanie's eyes were watery: "My king, spare your life!"

As for Murphy, when the two were alone, he gently hugged Zhou Qiao's neck: "Do you think there is any other place where I can stay with my personality? It's here that I find true freedom and comfort." .”

Facing the friendship between the four girls, Zhou Qiao was deeply moved.

……

Seven days later, Zhou Qiao couldn't help but be surprised and amazed when he saw Talia and Veronica appearing at the Iris Clinic together, as well as the patients they brought.

To my surprise, I was able to have a tryst with Talia again in the evening.

I haven't seen you these days, it's weird to think about it. Although he has many women, all of whom are stunning, the experience brought by each one is completely different.

Surprisingly, that patient was the exact opposite of little Njeli.

The other party's disease is a "folded person" at first glance. However, before, little Njili "only saw the ground but not the sky", but what about this patient?

"You can only see the sky, but not the earth."

This is a woman. From her chest upward, her upper body is almost completely tilted back.

After learning more about the condition, Zhou Qiao was shocked.

Because this woman is very "strong" and with such physical conditions, she actually gave birth to three children.

Elena and Ava were also deeply shocked when they found out.

Park Soo-joo lamented: "When I gave birth to Yoona, I gave birth to this one, and I don't want to do it again. Not to mention anything else, during pregnancy and confinement, I really can't stand, sit, or sleep. No, anyway, it’s not comfortable at all. With a body like hers, she actually gave birth to three children in a row! I have to say, Westerners’ bodies are still strong!”

Jin Jizhen said: "Americans don't confine themselves to confinement."

Park Xiuzhu shook her head: "Even if you don't have the confinement period, you will still suffer when you are pregnant. It looks pitiful, but her husband can actually do it."

South Korea is also a member of the Chinese civilization circle and is deeply influenced by Chinese culture, so it also has the custom of confinement, but the confinement time is relatively short, usually two weeks. No more than three weeks.

And they are usually in confinement centers (postpartum care homes or postpartum conditioning homes), with few people at home.

There are many movies and TV series in South Korea that tell the story of what happens to postpartum women, especially elderly mothers, in postpartum care homes. Such films tend to be mostly comedies, which are quite interesting.

Koreans are actually very contradictory. While they are shouting to de-Sinicize and change Seoul to Seoul, they are also tirelessly shouting that the Dragon Boat Festival belongs to them and Confucius belongs to them...

The same goes for Japan and other neighboring countries.

If one day, Chinese civilization suddenly disappears, but these small countries are still there, they will probably rush to show that they are the orthodox successors of Chinese civilization.
