In May 1986, the Eastern Military Region withdrew after completing a six-month rotation of combat.
Dean Gu also returned to Yuezhou.
There were 50 people when we left, but only 44 when we returned. This made everyone lose the joy of returning home and feel extremely heavy-hearted.
But life must go on and work must continue.
With Gu Wei's return, all the work in the hospital returned to the starting point.
There is good news for Chen Xia personally. As a first-class meritorious official, he is going to be promoted.
According to convention, the title or position of a first-class meritorious person would be promoted by one level. In those days, there was no title of doctor, so the only possibility for Chen Xia now was to have his position promoted by one level.
Moreover, this "promotion" leaves others speechless and without any reason to object.
How come a first-class merit can't even get a promotion? How much of a salary increase can it get?
If this qualification isn't enough, then what about the honorary titles of National Model Worker and National Advanced Worker?
Still not enough? Come on, bring out the five Lancet papers and the identity of the founder of quadruple therapy. Won’t that scare you to death?
Chen Xia is currently at the deputy division level, and one promotion to division level is enough. Wow, a 24-year-old at the division level is not unique, but it is definitely rare in the officialdom.
There are two ways for Chen Xia to be promoted:
One option is to stay in the People's Hospital, but only as vice president. This is because Vice President Sun Jianshe is old enough to step down, and a leadership position just happens to be vacant.
Chen Xia is the head of the General Affairs Section. It wouldn't be a problem for him to be promoted to the position of deputy director in charge of logistics. He is skilled enough in his work, but the disadvantage is that this is a "deputy position."
Another way is to "transfer externally" and find a hospital in Yuezhou to be the director (and enjoy the treatment of a director-level official).
One advantage of this is that as the top leader, he has more autonomy and can decide the quality of the hospital by himself.
Although Yuezhou People's Hospital has become an affiliated hospital of Zhijiang Medical University, due to its special history, it is now under the dual leadership of Yuezhou District and Zhijiang Medical University.
To put it bluntly, the Provincial First Hospital is the biological son, and the president is appointed by Zhijiang Medical University, but Yuezhou Hospital is the adopted son, and the appointment of the president and other cadres is mainly based on the Yuezhou region.
Of course, Zhijiang Medical University has a veto power over the appointment and removal of Yuezhou Hospital’s leadership, which makes it easy to coordinate the multiple management brought about by dual leadership.
The top two leaders of Yuezhou region were both old acquaintances of Chen Xia, so the organization department fully respected Chen Xia's personal opinions instead of making arbitrary appointments.
Try someone else and they’ll just find you a less popular unit, where you’ll have to sit on the bench and gain experience at such a young age.
What will Chen Xia choose?
In the Xiyuan study, his old leader and father-in-law was analyzing the pros and cons for him. In the eyes of the older generation, "promotion" was definitely the most important thing in life, and it could never be treated too seriously.
According to Director Gu, of course he should go to other hospitals to be the head.
Future promotions will be based on your resume. Whether you have been a top leader is a very important criterion, because the top leader is in charge of the overall situation, and your leadership ability can be seen immediately.
Department-level cadres can only be considered as seventh or eighth-rank officials. According to the unspoken rules, one must be at least deputy director or above to be called a "middle-level leader" and have a bright future.
Chen Xia listened for a long time, stretched, and said, "Dad, do I even need to choose? I'm definitely staying in our People's Hospital."
Dean Gu was so angry when he heard this that he blew his beard and glared.
"You little brat, don't you know that now is your best chance to be transferred to another hospital to become its director? It won't be so easy to transfer in the future. Even if you want to be the director of the People's Hospital, your qualifications are not enough."
"Hey, hey, hey, dad, swear to God, I have never thought of stealing your throne. I would never do such a thing as regicide and seizing the throne."
Dean Gu was almost amused by his anger. "You are like this. If you don't seize the opportunity given to you, it's useless."
Gu Lin was unhappy when she heard this: "Dad, Chen Laoer can go wherever he wants. Being a dean only increases his salary by two levels, which is less than 30 yuan. Is our family still short of this little money?"
Dean Gu poked his daughter's forehead and said, "You, little kid, what do you know? Is this about salary? This is a battle for position. If you get ahead one step, you'll be ahead every step of the way."
Chen Xia yawned:
"Dad, why do you think I should stay at the People's Hospital now? If I had a taste for power, I could easily become the director of Margaret Hospital in Hong Kong. You've been to that hospital, haven't you? How does its scale and quality compare to the People's Hospital?"
Dean Gu agreed when he heard this. If it were someone else, Hong Kong has so many industries and they would have just left long ago.
Chen Xia continued:
"As for money, with our family's strength, we're definitely the richest in Qingfeng Village, if not the entire region. As for power, I'm about to be promoted to the rank of director. I'm only 24, and there's no room for advancement. I'll have plenty of time and opportunities to get promoted in the future."
Gu Lin patted Chen Xia's shoulder and said happily:
"You're right. What's so good about being the dean? When I was a kid, my dad had no time to take care of us. He was either at work or working overtime all day. Humph."
Dean Gu blushed when he heard this.
Chen Xiaji said: "I stayed in the mainland for several reasons. One is to build our Yuezhou People's Hospital into a first-class hospital in the country. When you live, you should always leave something behind.
The second purpose is that the domestic economy will develop rapidly in the future. Hong Kong is just a small place. Don’t look at its current glory, it may not be so in the future. Therefore, Yuezhou is our root, and I will not leave easily.
Thirdly, our Yuezhou Hospital is the predecessor of the 119 Hospital. My father also came from a military hospital and sacrificed his life for this hospital. As his son, I must inherit my father's legacy and cannot let his sacrifice be in vain!
After hearing this, Dean Gu sighed and said nothing more.
Well, Chen Xia's words were half true and half false, especially the last one...
This guy is simply lazy. Although being a dean may seem glorious in front of others, there are actually so many things to pay attention to and worry about behind the scenes.
You have to focus on business and make money, right? If you don't have money to pay your employees, people will poke you in the back, and that's not a pleasant feeling.
As the dean, there are endless meetings to attend and endless social interactions to deal with.
You have to take care of the employees' eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, and even the divorce of couples and the separation of fathers and sons. Don't you think it's tiring?
It's good to be a deputy. There is the dean above you, and the specific matters are managed by the section chief below. A deputy dean who doesn't want to fight for power can just be a happy old salted fish.
Chen Xia's career meant that he couldn't work in the hospital for a long time, so as a vice president, he could attack or defend, and he could slip away whenever he wanted, or take advantage of the president's daughter whenever he wanted.
How nice...
