"Isn't that enough? Director Shen, other departments don't even get this many people in a year. You said your Traditional Chinese Medicine Department hasn't even started receiving patients yet, and you need so many at once? Where can I find them for you?"

"Vice President Li, I know this is difficult for you. The reason the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department hasn't started operating yet is because we don't have qualified Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners. If you're worried about me being alone, I'll find some people who know Traditional Chinese Medicine from outside. This will be good for everyone and will also reduce the burden on the hospital. We can't just leave this department there and not use it, right?"

Vice President Li's face was full of reluctance. He knew that with so many people coming at once, other departments in the hospital would definitely have objections. Even if the president agreed, he would have no way to explain to the other departments.

He said somewhat coldly: "Director Shen, it's not that I don't want to. You said that if every department is the same as you, and everyone comes to me to ask for so many people, I won't be able to find them alone, right?"

Shen Jiaojiao knew that the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine was different from other departments. Now those departments were basically mature, fully staffed, and still operating normally, but the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine was just getting started.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, Vice President Li. If you don't support me on this matter, I really don't know who to turn to. President Feng also told me before that if I need help, I can just come to you directly. If you don't cooperate, I won't be able to carry out my work here."

Vice President Li was somewhat dissatisfied with her. She kept using the president to put him down, and no one would be happy with that.

Moreover, we are looking for a doctor, so he must be able to do related work and be responsible to the hospital and the patients. We can't just grab a few people from outside and let them do the job.

He sighed heavily again, and Shen Jiaojiao looked at him.

"Is it difficult? Vice President Li, do you want to go and discuss this with the president?" Chen Jiaojiao took the initiative to give him advice. "I can wait here, but can the patients wait? Besides, now that we have a Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, the hospital expenses are all paid out. We can't keep idle people around, can we?"

Vice President Li remained silent for a long time, and finally said, "Director Shen, it's not that I don't want to recruit people, but you asked for too much at once. This is to find a doctor, not an ordinary person. It's much more difficult than you think."

Shen Jiaojiao knew that he just didn't want to, and was afraid of trouble.

Since I have submitted the list of personnel, he only needs to verify the other party's information and there is no need to go through so much trouble.

But Vice President Li found such a simple matter troublesome.

"In this case, it seems I have to trouble my grandfather."

When he heard that Shen Jiaojiao was going to look for Mr. Chen, Vice President Li became a little anxious.

Although Mr. Chen has no major relationship with the hospital, he is a retired cadre after all. Not to mention himself, even Feng Guoliang has to give him face. If he is blamed by the higher-ups, Vice President Li's position will be unstable.

He quickly said, "How about this, Director Shen, I really can't give you that much, and we have to take it step by step, right? Why don't I find three for you first, and we'll figure out the rest later."

Shen Jiaojiao frowned. This time she was given a 50% discount.

"Vice President Li, we need at least five. Three is not enough."

"I'm not saying I won't find you one later. Just make do with this for now. If I come across a suitable one later, or if there are more positions for this person, I'll find one for you."

"Vice President Li, after all, you still care about the rules, right? These rules are made by people after all. Can't you think of a way to change them when necessary?"

Vice President Li extended his hand again, "Then four. This is my best effort."

"No, five is five. Vice President Li, there's no need for us to haggle over this matter, right?"

"Hey, you're going to drive me crazy," Vice President Li was about to cry, afraid that Shen Jiaojiao would tell Old Man Chen, "Director Shen, go ask around. The hospital has never had so many people come at once. I'm only supporting you because you're a new official. If you keep saying that, I really can't live like this anymore."

Shen Jiaojiao didn't look like he was lying, so it seemed that this was indeed his maximum limit.

He continued, "This is just temporary. I'll definitely find a solution for you later. If other departments find out, they might come to me too. You won't make things difficult for me, right?"

"Alright, I don't think Vice President Li lied to me. In that case, then four is enough. It can't be less, right?"

"No." Vice President Li said there was no other way. Now, let alone four, even one is not easy. "Director Shen, thank you for your understanding. I will report this matter to the higher-ups when the time comes."

Shen Jiaojiao also took out the list and said, "I'm sorry for putting Vice President Li in a difficult position, but I believe that President Feng will also support you. Thank you so much this time."

Vice President Li was threatened. If he hadn't considered his position, he would definitely not care so much and would have fought her to the end.

Now that the matter is done, I don’t know if I will have any more troubles later.

After he stamped it, Shen Jiaojiao went out happily.

Shen Jiaojiao has taken leave these days, and there is really nothing to do in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department now. She might as well take advantage of this free time to visit Li Fugui and ask what he thinks.

It has been almost a month since I last saw them, and Li Fugui hasn't come to visit again. Maybe Xiaofang's health is not that serious anymore.

"Buy some fruit and pack all these for me."

"Okay," the boss was in a much better mood when he saw the business coming.

The main reason why Shen Jiaojiao came here this time was to see Xiaofang. Before, because of money issues, she had always been reluctant to go for a follow-up visit. Seeing her condition worsening, if she continued to give up, it was very likely that all her previous efforts would be in vain.

She also knew Li Fugui's character, and was afraid that if Xiaofang didn't want to go, he would have no way to stop her.

"Your fruit."

"Thank you," Shen Jiaojiao took it, paid the money and walked over there. When she arrived at the door of Li Fugui's house, as she thought, she heard the sound of two people arguing inside.

Apparently, this isn't their first time.

Probably, things like this happen every day in their home.

Shen Jiaojiao frowned and planned to wait until they were quiet before going in.
