Inside the restaurant.

"Haha."

Adam's flattery, Leonard is very useful.

"Don't think like that! Since you chose to be a surgeon, you have to be the best one. Do you think I didn't want to use the back door?"

Leonard took another sip of pure whiskey and laughed at himself, "I wanted to too, but I was already married to Rachel's mother at that time, so there was nothing I could do."

"Dad~!"

Rachel screamed angrily.

"What's wrong?"

Leonard shrugged and said, "What I said is true, and I don't regret choosing your mother. Except for the time when she talked about cigars, whiskey and sailboats every time, and spent 1,400 dollars to buy a flower pot."

"That's my mother's hobby."

Rachel imitated her mother in lavish ways, so she naturally stood by her mother's side and explained, "She only has this hobby, and you still don't support her? She raised three children for you. Although only one is cute and sensible, they are all your children."

"Okay."

Leonard smiled fondly, "What you said makes sense, Jill is indeed cute and sensible."

"Dad!"

Rachel shouted angrily.

"Just kidding."

Leonard laughed and said, "The cute and sensible one is of course my Rachel, Jill is too naughty."

Rachel then smiled with satisfaction.

"Leonard, do you like sailing boats?"

Adam will continue to work hard and prepare to deepen the friendship with Leonard.

From the bloody truth told by Leonard, Adam extracted the essence. Pajamas and other things are just superficial, and the most hard-core thing is personal connections.

Just like ordinary families who have nothing and successfully learn poisonous chicken soup, they are indeed talents, but what really makes them stand out is not the personal connections at the beginning?

Adam understands, but the reason why I am still shocked is because doctors treat diseases and save people, and technology is obviously the most important. But who would have thought that the most important thing in saving people's technology is not talent and hard work, but the opportunities brought by personal connections!

However, after being pointed out by Leonard, Adam thought about it carefully and felt that it was understandable.

United States's Western medicine is different from East Country's traditional Chinese medicine. Both medicines and doctors are assembly line things. The most important thing is mass production, with similar quality and interchangeability at any time.

Isn't that what the standardized process of medical procedures is for?

No one with poor qualifications can finish medical school and get a Doctor of Medicine degree. During the internship, all they learn are standardized surgical procedures. So whoever has the opportunity to practice more skills will improve faster?

As for using talent to innovate surgery, that is something that only Attending Physician and above should consider.

Adam's original plan was to take the most practical steps step by step. Naturally, he had to get the best Harvard Medical School to get into medical school, but now his mind has changed.

Harvard Medical School has indeed ranked first in the world all year round and is a holy land for medical students, but the competition will be fiercer than ever before. Adam was not worried before.

But now he had to consider the risks.

In addition to those common people who dare to sacrifice everything to get ahead, there are definitely many second- and third-generation doctors. It would be terrible if these second- and third-generation doctors with personal connections dared to sacrifice everything.

Once you lose the competition with unfair competitors like them and make the wrong step, you will definitely waste a lot of time.

But time is exactly what Adam cannot afford to waste.

Now there is a good opportunity in front of Adam.

Rachel is Adam's friend, Leonard is Rachel's father, and he seems to admire Adam, and he is still New York University Medical Center Cardiothoracic Surgery is a senior Attending Physician who graduated from Columbia University Medical School. The resources in the New York medical field are not as good as those of department directors, but they are definitely very impressive.

Once a close enough relationship is established with Leonard, Adam will no longer have to lose at the starting line and can firmly stand in the first echelon. By then, with his ability and hard work, he will definitely become a top surgeon as quickly as possible.

Holding the heart of others, what beats is his own heart.

To this end, he even used the psychology he studied for half a semester.

"Yes."

Leonard smiled and said, "Actually, Rachel liked it at first, but after buying it, we couldn't let Rachel drive it, right? She was still young at that time. As we played with it, I also liked it. Later, I taught Rachel, and we, father and daughter, spent a lot of good time together."

"Yeah."

Rachel echoed, "To this day, our family still sails out to sea together every year."

"Sounds great."

Adam showed a tycoon smile, "After what you said, I am also going to buy a sailboat. When the time comes, Leonard, will you and Rachel teach me?"

"Are you going to buy it too?"

Leonard said in surprise, "Sailboats are not cheap. You can't buy a better one for less than 20,000 dollars."

"Dad."

Rachel explained, "In addition to being a student of Columbia University, Adam is also a writer. Lord of the Mysteries, published last year, was quite popular. He earned 500,000 in royalties from the second edition alone!"

"A stunning achievement."

Leonard praised, "Originally I thought I thought highly enough of you, but now it seems I still look down upon you. Among the young people I know, you are definitely the best!"

"Thank you."

Adam smiled reservedly, "Rachel is actually very talented, she..."

"Ah!"

Rachel screamed, interrupting Adam, and winked at Adam repeatedly.

She writes erotic novels, so it's okay to show them to her friends, but it's still too shameful to let her father know about them before she becomes famous and makes a lot of money.

"What's wrong, baby?"

Leonard expressed concern.

"Nothing."

Seeing Adam nod knowingly, Rachel breathed a sigh of relief and muttered a few words.

In the following time, with Adam intending to flatter and make friends, and Leonard himself quite admiring Adam, the two chatted enthusiastically, with Rachel interjecting from time to time, eliciting bursts of hearty laughter.

Monica sat there with a wry smile, and Phoebe bit Sheldon and complained, "They are like a family."

"Yeah."

Phoebe nodded repeatedly.

Ross kept pouting, venting his unhappiness.

Although he doesn't like Leonard, he also hopes to replace it with Adam.

Only Joey happily ate the big meal without any leisure time.

In his eyes, food cannot be wasted.

a long time.

When Monica and others were about to doze off, Leonard finally ended the chat without any satisfaction, reached out to call the waiter, took the bill, checked it, and calculated the tip.

This kind of dinner party is naturally not AA, but Leonard's treat.

Chandler didn't come. There were seven people in total and they spent 500 dollars, so it was considered a feast.

"Excuse me, I'm going to use the bathroom."

Leonard After calculating the tip, he signed the bill and stood up.

"Oh~"

Ross glanced at the bill, as if he had discovered some great secret, and exclaimed proudly.
