In Yuezhou Fourth Hospital, the conference room was filled with smoke, and a group of people were studying a headache problem.
Yesterday, Yuezhou Fourth Hospital held a commendation meeting for the fight against cholera. Li Suji from Yuezhou District attended the meeting in person and awarded different honorary titles to all medical staff who participated in the treatment at the Fourth Hospital.
Of course, Chen Xia had no share of the credit because he was not a real clinical doctor, and no one except Li Suji and Dean Gu knew that he had gone to Lin'an to buy the special medicine, so this credit could not be made public.
But when Li Suji had a private conversation with the entire leadership of the Fourth Hospital, he praised Chen Xia highly.
He also told everyone an unexpected news. Deputy Stenographer Xu from the province called him personally and praised Chen Xia a lot on the phone.
Everyone in the Fourth Hospital was bewildered. When had Chen Xia become involved with Deputy Shorthand Xu? And why had he even called to express his gratitude?
Li Suji smiled and said, "Your doctor, Dr. Chen Xia, saved Deputy Suji's son in Guizhou and performed an appendectomy himself. They say the patient would have been in critical condition in a few hours. Dr. Chen Xia is truly a skilled doctor."
After Li Suji finished speaking, he thought everyone would agree with him, but the scene became strangely quiet.
Dean Gu and Zhang the Shorthand laughed a few times, but they couldn't hide the embarrassment on their faces. The director of surgery, Qiu Fangjue, looked surprised, and the director of the infectious disease department, Ren Yuanfei, lowered his head, looking ashamed to see people.
Li Suji was also an expert at reading people's expressions. "President Gu, what's going on, comrades? Did I say something wrong just now?"
"No, no, no. The main thing is that what you said is too unbelievable, Li Suji. Comrade Chen Xia is actually an intern in the infectious disease department. No one knew that he could actually perform surgery."
As soon as Dean Gu said this, everyone in the conference room laughed awkwardly.
Li Suji slammed the table and said, "This Chen Xia is truly fearless. An internal medicine doctor actually dares to perform surgery. He's incredible! This shows that your Fourth Hospital is very comprehensive in cultivating technical personnel, and can handle both internal and external medicine."
Everyone present was suddenly enlightened, especially Gu Wei and Zhang Zhizhong, who immediately understood the whole story.
"Chen Xia studied under Ren Yuanfei and is still in the training period, but in the final analysis, he is a talent cultivated by the Fourth Hospital. This is a credit to the leaders."
Now, everyone was happy. When the leader left, he took Gu Wei and Zhang Zhizhong in his arms and said to the people who were seeing him off:
"Young man, since you are a versatile person and have personal abilities, Deputy Shorthand Xu might as well give him more responsibilities."
Everyone has heard the last sentence.
So at the meeting of middle-level cadres of the Fourth Hospital today, one of the topics discussed was how to give Chen Xia more responsibilities?
Dean Gu presided over the meeting. "Comrades, everyone knows this. Yesterday, District Stenographer Li said it himself. Deputy Stenographer Xu hopes to relieve him of his responsibilities. Let's discuss how to do that."
After Ren Yuanfei knew that Chen Xia had this opportunity, he naturally wanted to actively strive for it. "How about making Chen Xia a vice president? Anyway, the district should be able to approve it, right?"
Everyone almost spat out a mouthful of blood in his face and started coughing.
Ren Yuanfei said calmly, "What are you doing? The central government is advocating for younger cadres. We are also responsible to the people and the hospital."
"Stop talking nonsense! How old is he? He's only 18 and hasn't even worked for a full year. How can he be the vice president?"
Gu Wei almost threw the water bottle over.
Ren Yuanfei curled his lips and said nothing. He was deliberately making trouble to raise the bargaining standard so that everyone could bargain.
Someone suggested that I become the deputy director of the infectious disease department?
Gu Wei shook his head. "That's nonsense. Clinical departments are supposed to treat patients and save lives. They require real skills. Do you think this kid can shoulder this heavy responsibility?"
Someone suggested that we take a part-time position under Office D?
Zhang Zhizhong said with a look of resentment, "This guy hasn't even joined D yet, how can he get this job in D?"
Everyone thought about it, but no one could figure out where this kid should go?
The reason was that he had too little experience and lacked a diploma, so he didn't fit in anywhere. So everyone could only smoke non-stop, thinking about where to put him.
It can’t be too good, and it can’t be too bad either. Deputy stenographer Xu from the province and stenographer Li from the region have both spoken. Don’t they have any face?
Such a high-ranking leader has such high hopes for him, and you just give him the title of "toilet director"?
Liu Bo was in charge of personnel, and at this time he spoke:
"How about letting Chen Xia take on the role of deputy section chief in the General Affairs Department? This department doesn't require any technical expertise anyway. The work is all about repairs and tinkering. With the section chief watching over him and the staff helping him, even if he doesn't work, it won't affect the department's operations."
When everyone heard this, their spirits immediately lifted, "Yes, this is indeed a suitable department."
The General Affairs Department is responsible for logistics work, dealing with trivial matters all day long. If you say they are important, no one pays attention to them. If you say they are not important, they are indispensable to every aspect of the hospital.
Dean Gu also smiled. "Old Liu, this is a good idea. What everyone doesn't know is that this guy is absolutely capable of handling logistics. New Year's Day and Spring Festival are just around the corner, so let him think of ways to improve employee welfare. We don't want it to be like before, where money couldn't buy anything."
Everyone laughed, especially the old guys who often went to the Plum Garden for a bite to eat.
At this time, the Fourth Hospital had become a deficit-funded public institution that "operated independently and was responsible for its own profits and losses."
The above policy is that there will be no annual funding. How much money a hospital makes in a year depends on its own ability. If there is money, the hospital can build a staff building.
Of course, don't expect government support if you make a loss.
But in this era, salaries are fixed and employees can only be paid as much as they are entitled to. Bonuses in hospitals cannot be paid for the time being.
Hospitals like the Fourth Hospital, which have abundant patient resources, have a lot of money saved in their accounts. The current situation is that they cannot distribute it, and they cannot buy things to distribute to employees.
There are more than 500 employees in the Fourth Hospital, and with the business capabilities of the Kezhen Supply and Marketing Cooperative, it is impossible to obtain large quantities of food or goods.
It is still a seller's market now. No matter how much a factory produces, it can be sold out. Purchasing officials have to look at the faces of the supply and marketing departments of these factories.
For example, last year the Fourth Hospital wanted to purchase a batch of meat at the end of the year to distribute to employees as welfare. For more than 500 employees, each of them needed 5 kilograms of meat, which meant they needed 2,500 kilograms of pork.
People from the General Affairs Department went around the world with money to buy meat but couldn't find any, and even when they raised the price, people wouldn't sell it to them.
This year everyone decided to hand over this mess to Chen Xia. A group of old foxes were grinning like cunning men, especially Luo Jiacheng, the head of the General Affairs Section.
