After Dean Gu came back, he immediately announced in the hospital that he would select doctors, nurses, and auxiliary examination department staff to go to Hong Kong for further training for one year.
With a bang, the whole hospital exploded.
“Going abroad” to study, even if not to England, isn’t it the same to go to Hong Kong?
(The author's urge to survive has kicked in, and he reiterates that Hong Kong did not return to China in 1985, and that ordinary people still consider Hong Kong a foreign country. This is due to a specific historical context. The author insists that Hong Kong is a sacred and inseparable part of the motherland and adheres to the "One Country, Two Systems" principle.)
Who doesn't want to make progress? Who doesn't want to study abroad? Who doesn't want to become a famous doctor or hospital leader in the future?
Now, the scramble has begun.
Although Margaret Hospital was opened by the Chen family and the quota was decided by Chen Xia, it was a confidential matter. No one in the hospital knew about it except Dean Gu.
So various people with connections started to take action.
Today it’s this leader, tomorrow it’s that director, and the day after tomorrow a deputy commissioner pops up.
Yes, it was Li Bolin’s father. The deputy regional commissioner also called Dean Gu specifically to try to get a spot for his son.
Originally, Deputy Commissioner Li thought that Comrade Gu would give him face if he took action, and it would be a sure thing.
But he didn't know that it was his son who had the least chance of being included in the list for further training. He had no hope at all. Even if Leader Xu came to plead for him today, it would be useless.
Why? Did he forget the arrogance he showed when he wanted to steal someone else's girlfriend? Anyway, Chen Xia holds a grudge and will never forget it in this life.
The two biggest grudges in life are stealing someone's wife and cutting off their financial resources.
Although this wife was not taken away, it is unacceptable to even think about it. This is Section Chief Chen's forbidden delicacy and his weak spot. Section Chief Chen is magnanimous if he does not suppress her in normal times.
The most difficult thing in China is human relationships, and Dean Gu is a little overwhelmed.
In the dean's office.
"Xiao Xia, there are too many phone notes asking for help. What do you think we should do? It seems that those people you want to arrange are not going to go smoothly."
Chen Xia had already discussed this with his father-in-law. He arranged for further training not only for the long-term development of the hospital, but also to cultivate his own direct lineage, not to help others.
So this time, Dean Gu specifically gave the decision-making power to his son-in-law. Of course, this was not out of favoritism, after all, Xiangjiang Hospital is his son-in-law's property.
Chen Xia thought for a moment and said, "Dad, I think we should set some conditions. We can't just cram anyone in. People go out to learn skills, not to gain a golden body. Those who don't really learn and put in the work will definitely not be accepted."
"Tell me what you think."
"Here's what I think. First, if you want to go to Hong Kong, you have to overcome the language barrier, right? People there either speak Cantonese or English. Our Mandarin isn't popular there. If you go there and can't even hold a basic conversation, why go?"
Dean Gu nodded. This was a very sufficient reason. No one could say anything. You either have to speak Cantonese or English. Otherwise, do you have to use sign language when you go out?
In fact, this was Chen Xia's little trick. The young doctors under him had started intensive training in English as early as last year, especially spoken English. These young doctors and nurses definitely had an advantage in this aspect.
As for the others? I guess it’s quite difficult. Even college students like Li Bolin are absolutely dumb in English.
Therefore, the oral test can basically eliminate those people that Chen Xia doesn’t like, and leave them speechless.
Chen Xia continued:
"In addition, we have to sign an agreement with the hospital. Employees who go to Hong Kong for further studies must sign a 15-year contract with the hospital. Otherwise, if they violate the agreement and seek other employment in the future, our hospital will not keep their files."
This is actually very crucial, because once a person becomes famous, his desires will expand, and he will forget who cultivated him in the first place, and think that everything is what he deserves.
This is the typical thinking of an "egoist", which is very selfish, very heartless, and very indifferent.
Chen Xia allowed them to go abroad and provided them with material things. Was it just to make them betray Yuezhou Hospital and seek better opportunities in the future?
So what if they were his own troops? People's hearts could not stand the test.
Why a 15-year contract? Because after 15 years, it doesn’t matter whether the contract holder has a file or not. If they want to leave, they can leave. No one can stop them.
But at least since 1985, for more than ten years thereafter, files were still very important. Without files, no one would accept you, and it was not easy to leave.
And the key point is, after 15 years of construction and support from Chen Xia, can't Yuezhou People's Hospital become one of the top hospitals in China?
I'm afraid that by then they won't be able to leave even if they want to. After all, for individual doctors, medical skills are important, but the platform is more important.
You're from Union Hospital, and this one is from Tongzhou Hospital. Which one is more likely to be trusted by patients? Which one is more likely to get research funding? Which one is more likely to become famous?
It's clear at a glance.
Sure enough, as soon as these two selection criteria were announced, the hospital staff wailed.
Forget about Cantonese, what about English?
Come on, come on, those who know English, please sign up first, and then teachers from Yuezhou Teachers College will take written and oral tests. Only those who pass this test will be considered for the long list.
Now, all the middle-aged and elderly doctors have been eliminated, and what remains is the competition between young employees.
Li Bolin could understand the general idea, but his oral English was completely unsatisfactory. He was fine with basic greetings, but when it came to medical English conversations, such as a simple English handover, he was completely at a loss.
In the end, he was eliminated dejectedly, and his deputy commissioner father could only be angry at his son's incompetence. He did not think that the People's Hospital was making things difficult for his son, and both sides saved face.
The people who are most reassured in the entire hospital are none other than the young urologists Yan Jun and Kong Gaoyuan, because these two had already received hints from Section Chief Chen that they would be arranged to study abroad.
Similarly, there are Bai Yunjun from the Respiratory Department, Xie Liping, Li Yanhua, Gao Li, Liang Wannian, Song Kang, Sun Ren and others from the Surgery Department, Fan Lan from the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Wang Jinfa, Bai Hua, Mo Yongfang, Tao Lili, Wan Lu from the Emergency Department; Wang Hongjuan, Kong Zhenzhen, Guo Musen, Qi Jun and others from the Infectious Diseases Department.
In these major departments, Chen Xia carefully selected and worked hard to train his direct subordinates, and he put his heart and soul into each of them.
Mr. Chen hired an English teacher at his own expense and has been teaching them English for more than a year. He also asked them to read more English novels and practice speaking more, just to prepare for studying abroad.
So when Principal Ma and Leader Cao arrived in Yuezhou, Yuezhou People's Hospital had already assembled its team and was ready to set off for Xiang with high morale.
What else could Principal Ma say? He could only acquiesce. Of course, he was his direct superior and had a hand in this achievement, so after offering some encouraging words, he headed home.
