Chen Xia started working in the General Affairs Department without knowing what was going on, and even sat in the section chief's office.
Before leaving, Luo Jiacheng had handed over all the seals and account books to Chen Xia, which meant he had completely delegated power.
The General Affairs Department, as a logistics department, serves the entire hospital and is essentially a menial service department. They don't have much power, but they have a lot of work to do.
If it were in the palace, it would be a lucrative job in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, where one egg could be reimbursed for 5 taels of silver.
However, in a public institution like a hospital, there are departments that are criticized but not rewarded for their contributions.
The General Affairs Department of the Fourth Hospital is divided into a driver team of 5 people, a water, electricity and boiler team of 14 people, a canteen team of 15 people, a purchasing team of 5 people, a warehouse supplies team of 5 people, a laundry team of 13 people, a cleaning team of 20 people, and an infrastructure team of 4 people.
Including a section chief and a deputy section chief, the entire department has 79 employees, including 20 regular workers and 59 temporary workers.
When Chen Xia saw the roster, he was overwhelmed. It was over. This was definitely the "largest department" of the hospital. How could he manage so many people?
But since we've already forced the issue, let's have a meeting to get to know each other first.
In the section chief's office, all eight squad leaders were present. They sat in the office, looking at the young squad leader, each with their own complicated thoughts.
It is impossible to make these people "convinced", especially since these eight team leaders are regular employees. Which regular worker doesn't want to be a section chief?
But now they have achieved "oral acceptance" because the rumor spreads quickly, saying that the new deputy section chief is a young cadre personally designated and trained by the third-in-command of the province.
When beating a dog, you have to look at the owner first. They offended this young man today. He has a strong sense of revenge. If the fight turns into a fight to the death, they will definitely have a hard time in the Fourth Hospital.
Anyway, no matter who you listen to, just think of it as accompanying the prince in studying.
Chen Xia is now in urgent need of a military advisor who is familiar with the General Affairs Department and can help him familiarize himself with the work as quickly as possible. Otherwise, he will be blind and unable to carry out any work.
He glanced at the eight squad leaders several times and discovered that the squad leader of the small car squad was a young man in his thirties. He was looking at Chen Xia with a fawning smile, and his smile was the most despicable.
OK, it’s you.
After the meeting, Chen Xia kept the car team leader alone.
"Comrade Wei Hongxing, you're the youngest of these eight squad leaders. We'll have more in common. I'd like you to understand some things."
The Fourth Hospital has two trucks, a 212 jeep, and two diesel boats, all of which were left behind by the troops. It is the largest among the hospitals in Yuezhou area.
Like the first hospital, there is only one big truck for the entire hospital.
Wei Hongxing is 30 years old this year. He is a retired automobile soldier and a regular worker with a smooth personality.
He used to be Luo Jiacheng's number one lackey, but now that his old master is no longer in charge, he immediately wants to cling to the new master's thighs.
So during the meeting just now, he had been smiling with 8 teeth showing. It turned out that smiling in a cheesy way could attract the attention of the leader. Wei Hongxing was a little complacent.
"Chief, the work of the General Affairs Department is both difficult and simple. We generally follow the orders of our superiors. We purchase whatever they tell us to buy. If anything in the hospital is damaged, we send someone to repair it. It's all menial work."
The work of the six teams, such as the driver team, laundry team, cleaning team, water and electricity team, infrastructure team, and warehouse team, is usually very mechanical, and they do repetitive work every day. As a section chief, you just need to do a good job of attendance, and they know how to work.
Chief, you really need to focus on the canteen and purchasing teams. The canteen is responsible for everyone's meals, and that's a real problem. If the food isn't good, the employees will complain, and they won't care if you can't buy pork.
The purchasing team is the top priority of our General Affairs Department and also the most headache-inducing area for Section Chief Luo. Normally, when we need to buy some ordinary office supplies, the supply and marketing cooperatives can provide them, but when we usually need to buy some building materials such as cement for infrastructure construction, it is difficult.
Purchasing some welfare supplies for the Lunar New Year was a truly daunting task, and it was the main reason Section Chief Luo was forced to take sick leave.
When Chen Xia heard this and saw Wei Hongxing stopped talking, he asked curiously:
"Why is purchasing welfare supplies such a daunting task? It even forced Section Chief Luo to take sick leave? Tell me quickly."
Wei Hongxing lowered his voice and continued, "During the New Year holidays, shouldn't we give something to the employees as a welfare benefit?"
"Well, is there? Why didn't I receive any during Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day?"
"Hey, Chief, this is the problem. We can't get supplies right now, especially food. Beef, mutton, pork, rice, flour, oil, and salt are all fine. This is what every employee needs the most. Otherwise, if we keep giving out soap, everyone will complain."
"So, what you're saying is that as the deputy director of the General Affairs Section, my main task right now is to find benefits for everyone? And then give them to the employees during the New Year, right? Damn, no wonder that old fox Luo Jiacheng ran away so quickly. He couldn't do it himself, so he threw it to me?"
Wei Hongxing was very embarrassed and smiled awkwardly. Luo Jiacheng was now the section chief in public, and he didn't dare to offend him.
After roughly understanding the work priorities and responsibilities of his role as deputy section chief, Chen Xia strolled to the cafeteria again.
The squad leader of the cafeteria team is Wei Daqiang, who is in his 50s. He has a big head and a thick neck, and looks like a cook.
Beneath his rough appearance, he has a delicate mind. When he saw his immediate superior coming to inspect as soon as he took office, he immediately organized all the canteen staff to give him a warm welcome.
The cafeteria of the Fourth Hospital has to prepare steamed rice for more than 500 people every day at noon, and also prepare dishes for about 200 people, plus a small amount of breakfast and dinner.
Therefore, the workload in the canteen is quite heavy. Except for Wei Daqiang who is a regular employee, the other 14 employees are temporary workers, and they are all family members of hospital employees.
Chen Xia didn't have any good instructions. He just knew that the food in the cafeteria was bad, but this seemed to be a common problem in all cafeterias. Chen Xia just reminded:
"Uncle Wei, are the dishes in our cafeteria a little less oily?"
"Hey, Xiao Xia, oh no, Chief Chen, I know the food in the cafeteria isn't great. We can't help it. The people in the purchasing team can't buy much meat. Without oil and meat, the bland soup we make wouldn't be tasty. Don't you agree?"
Chen Xia thought about it and realized it was true.
"Okay, leave it to me. I'll figure out the fish and meat. But I've got some good fish and meat. If you can't cook a meal that satisfies the employees, I'll transfer you to the cleaning team."
"Haha, as long as there's meat, I can cook it into flowers for you."
Chen Xia patted Wei Daqiang on the shoulder:
"Okay, now I have something to trouble you with. Please help me stew these beef bones into soup. Also, please braise these two ox heads. Here are two dollars. Please put it in the account for gas and seasoning."
