The next day, as soon as Chen Xia got to work, he received an internal call from the hospital office, informing him to go to the conference room for a meeting.
As soon as he walked into the conference room, warm cheers broke out. Chen Xia was puzzled. When he looked carefully, he saw that the people sitting there were all young doctors and nurses.
Even his long-legged wife was sitting among them, smiling and making faces.
Kong Zhenzhen, a nurse from the infectious disease department and Gu Lin's best friend, called out the loudest, "Chen Xia, come here, sit over here."
Chen Xia glared at him, "What are you doing? I'm already married, so don't have any special ideas. If you're really interested in me, let's talk about it in private."
Everyone booed~~~~~
Even Vice President Xu Shuangli joined in the fun with a smile.
"Come here, Chief Chen, sit over here. We asked you to come here because we responded to the masses' call. We need you, a veteran, to take action."
"Ah, I'm so young, but I'm considered a veteran? Well, what's going on? Do I have to go to the countryside for free medical treatment again?"
Vice President Xu handed him a document:
"The Health Department is about to organize a provincial clinical medical skills competition for young employees in the health system. The competition will be held in Changhua, Lin'an. I asked them if they had any requirements, and they said there was only one requirement: that you lead the team."
Chen Xia muttered to himself as he read the documents, "Changhua? Why does Changhua sound so familiar?"
Xu Shuangli smiled and said, "Changhua, the West Zhejiang Grand Canyon Scenic Area is right there. You're lucky this time. If you have time after the competition, the hospital will approve you to spend two days there, but the prerequisite is that you get a good ranking."
Chen Xia suddenly had an idea: "Changhua Chicken Blood Stone!"
"Okay, I'll reluctantly go with everyone this time. I also want to see if there are any agricultural and sideline products I can buy over there, and I'll visit the countryside while I'm there."
"Chen the speculator" immediately knew what he was going to do in Changhua. Since the southern part of the colorful Yunnan province specializes in jade, chicken bloodstone was also an option, as it is a precious jade.
In 1983, it was probably priced as cheap as jadeite. This was a great opportunity that must not be missed.
When the young doctors and nurses in the conference room heard that Chen Xia agreed, they immediately cheered again.
Now all the staff of the People's Hospital know that as long as they follow Mr. Chen on a business trip, they will not have to worry about eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks, and they must come back with a full stomach.
The reason why this competition was chosen to be held in a county under the provincial capital, and in a place famous for its scenic spots, is actually for a reason.
In the 1980s and 1990s, whenever conditions allowed, meetings would be held in some famous scenic spots.
For example, in a 5-day conference schedule, it is estimated that only 2 days will be spent in meetings, and the remaining 3 days will be spent on travel.
Not only can you take the opportunity to travel, but you can also attend meetings organized by some wealthy organizations, where you will receive many souvenirs, and you can eat, live, and take things for free, so everyone is in a good mood.
However, there were too many issues involved. Later, with the formalization of finance, the state repeatedly prohibited holding meetings at scenic spots, and this trend officially ended.
The same is true for the competition held in Changhua.
The Grand Canyon of Western Zhejiang is the most scenic spot in Zhijiang Province. It has the same landform as the Huangshan Scenic Spot in Huiqing Province. The most famous local specialty of this place is small walnuts.
Another very important thing is that Changhua also produces a very rare mineral: bloodstone.
In ancient times, this thing was often carved into seals and was very popular among scholars and literati. But after liberation, for various reasons, intellectuals were sidelined and these elegant things were no longer popular.
All those who went to Changhua to participate in the competition this time were the most outstanding representatives among the young medical workers of Yuezhou People's Hospital, including five doctors and five nurses.
The doctors are Wu Shaochen, Bai Yunjun, Xie Liping, Guo Musen, and Huang Xiaoping; the nurses are Gu Lin, Kong Zhenzhen, Xu Qiuping, Wan Lu, and Lin Xingchen.
Chen Xia was very happy looking at these ten young talents, because these 10 people had very close relationships with him and were also his direct descendants that he focused on training.
Wait, how did Gu Lin get in?
Chen Xia looked at his wife strangely, his eyes asking, "How did you get into the revolutionary ranks?"
Gu Lin raised her chin and rolled her eyes, as if to say, "Don't underestimate me. I'm the runner-up in the hospital's nursing skills competition."
Chen Xia: "Is it because of your father, the dean?"
Gu Lin: "Think it over first, I'll give you another chance..."
When everyone saw the in-laws flirting with each other in public in the hall, they all made vomiting gestures, and even Xu Shuangli laughed out loud.
So the matter was settled. Chen Xia, as the team leader, led the ace pilots of Yuezhou People's Hospital and applied to go into battle.
In order to facilitate travel, the hospital specially borrowed a minibus from the Prefectural Party Committee. The driver was Wei Hongxing, and a group of 12 young people drove to Changhua happily.
This provincial medical clinical skills competition is composed of people's hospitals in 11 regions of the province and 5 provincial hospitals, and can fully represent the highest level of young medical workers in Zhijiang Province.
The conference venue was arranged in a sanatorium in the Grand Canyon Scenic Area of Western Zhejiang. The surrounding scenery was very beautiful, but it was also very remote, and it was basically impossible to order takeout.
Ahem, when Chen Xia goes to an unfamiliar place, he often uses whether he can order takeout as the standard to judge whether it is prosperous enough. He has been unable to change this habit for many years.
Ordinary contestants are arranged to live in four-person dormitories, which are actually the same as dormitories. There is only one bathroom on each floor. If you want to take a shower, you have to get hot water yourself and take it to the toilet to flush.
As for team leaders like Chen Xia, since they are all high-ranking cadres, they are all arranged in double rooms. The conditions here are much better. At least the hot water is brought by the waiters and they don’t have to get it themselves.
In addition, you have to pay for meal tickets when eating, and this is non-negotiable. However, the hospital will reimburse you after you return, so no one cares.
Because they were away from home, Chen Xia did not take special care of his wife and let her live in the large room with everyone else.
After the representative teams from various regions arrived one after another, the conference organizers arranged a brief meeting for the 16 representative teams, mainly to discuss the schedule for the upcoming competitions.
The team leaders of other hospitals are either vice presidents or heads of the medical department, but the team leader of Yuezhou People's Hospital is the head of the general affairs department.
This surprised all the participants, and they secretly laughed at it behind their backs for a long time. Many people said that "there is no general in Echizen, so the General Affairs Department has to make up for it."
When they arrived at the conference room and saw the legendary head of the General Affairs Department, everyone was even more surprised.
wBecause Chen Xia is too young, so young that he looks out of place sitting in a leadership team composed of middle-aged and elderly people.
Chen Xia is thick-skinned and is no longer surprised by everyone's strange and inquiring looks. Anyway, he is not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.
