Chapter 182: Get a College Diploma
As long as Lin Sanqi is safe, Shen Guoming will be safe.
If Lin Sanqi was collaborating with the enemy, then Shen Guoming would be simply responsible for negligence, and more complicatedly, he would be suspected of being an accomplice.
So for Dean Shen, clearing Lin Sanqi's name is a win-win situation for both of us, and it also saves him from trouble.
The key point is that Dean Shen doesn't think Lin Sanqi is a spy. If he really is a spy, then he is too high-profile in his actions. Real spies would rather hide themselves and not be discovered. They are the least conspicuous ones in the unit.
A young man like Lin Sanqi is at most a speculator, and his mistakes are not serious, so we should help him if we can.
As for if Lin Sanqi really gets into trouble and is arrested in the future, the lack of details of those 10 years in the files is easy to explain. That is, the Lin family deceived the hospital and the leaders, and the hospital at most did not conduct a careful investigation. How could that be considered a serious mistake?
Principal Jin Ronghua put down the file, feeling relieved, and said with a smile:
"Old Shen, you always give me problems. Comrade Xiaolin, right? Not bad, not bad. You're so young and you're going to be promoted to a section chief. You need a diploma. By the way, can you see patients independently now?"
Principal Jin still wanted to test the waters, so as not to give the diploma to the other party and then find out that the other party didn't understand anything, which would be embarrassing.
Lin Sanqi knew that he couldn't be modest at this time, so he quickly boasted:
"I not only learned Chinese medicine from my father, but I also taught myself Western medicine and can now perform simple surgeries."
"Oh, you can do surgery?"
Principal Jin was a little surprised. Dean Shen next to him took out a few letters of praise and showed them off.
"Old Jin, come here, let me show you this. This is the letter of commendation Comrade Lin Sanqi received this year. It's from Xi'an. It was written by a parent after Lin Sanqi rescued a girl who had suffered cardiac and respiratory arrest on a train."
Principal Jin put on his glasses again and began to look carefully, asking:
"He had no heartbeat or breathing? On the train? And he was saved?"
Lin Sanqi answered honestly, "He was saved."
Dean Shen cursed disdainfully:
"You're talking nonsense! If he didn't save her, would they publish a letter praising Lin Sanqi? And it was sent to his workplace. And look at the second letter, it's from Qinghai Provincial People's Hospital. Lin Sanqi helped them save a woman with an ectopic pregnancy. Isn't that amazing?"
Principal Jin was even more shocked: "Ectopic pregnancy? Oh my god, she was saved again?"
Lin Sanqi was already a little embarrassed. The young man felt a little guilty about bragging: "Yes, he saved her. She is the daughter-in-law of their dean."
Dean Shen continued to proudly hand the third telegram to Principal Jin:
"No, this letter of commendation is still hot. Comrade Lin Sanqi was on a business trip to Guangqi when he discovered that a plague had broken out in the area. He disregarded his own safety and took the initiative to fight the epidemic, leading the medical team. This is an official letter of commendation from the local government."
Principal Jin Ronghua read the letter carefully and nodded continuously.
"Well, well, well, you're indeed from a famous family, with excellent medical skills, especially your ability to practice both Chinese and Western medicine. You're definitely a talent. Comrade Lin Sanqi, I think you should just drop out of school and get a proper medical degree. You'll even be able to work at Union Hospital in the future."
Before Lin Sanqi could answer, Dean Shen became unhappy:
"Come on, Union Hospital is on the same level as our Chinese Medicine Hospital. Does that mean we, the traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, are inferior? Besides, Comrade Lin Sanqi is a treasure in our Chinese Medicine Hospital, a department-level cadre. How can Union Hospital give him that?"
Principal Jin sighed repeatedly, "Ah, what a pity! Right now, we don't lack Chinese medicine practitioners in our country, but we do lack Western medicine practitioners, especially those who can perform surgery."
After liberation, all the doctors from the church hospital withdrew. Later, Soviet doctors came, but they also left for some special reasons.
Therefore, it is very rare to find doctors who can perform surgery in China. The country’s finances are limited, and it is impossible to train surgical talents on a large scale. The country is in a state of no money, no people, and no technology.
Dean Shen took a sip of tea and asked calmly:
"Old Jin, just tell me if Lin Sanqi is qualified to get this diploma. Will you give it to him?"
Principal Jin chuckled, put the file bag away, and said seriously:
"You're so confident in using backdoors. This is against regulations. After all, Comrade Lin Sanqi didn't participate in the two-year advanced training program. But these three letters of introduction carry more weight than the two-year advanced training program. I have no reason not to give him a diploma."
Lin Sanqi was delighted when he heard this. It turns out that getting a diploma is so easy?
You have to know that he got a certificate of incomplete studies in 2013, which made him obsessed with diplomas.
After hearing this, Dean Shen had an expression of being in control of everything on his face and said to Lin Sanqi:
"Hurry up! You don't have good eyesight! Bring some of the fruit out of the car so Principal Jin can have some."
Lin Sanqi stood up excitedly. "Okay, Principal Jin, wait a moment. I brought back some fruit from my business trip to the south. These local specialties are cheap, so you can try some."
Lin Sanqi ran out of the office and closed the door again.
Dean Shen saw that there was no one around, took out an envelope and placed it on the table, then casually pressed it with a book and sat back in his seat.
Principal Jin's eyes popped out:
"Old Shen, what are you doing? We are old friends and colleagues. How can you make a money deal? This is just a slap in my face."
Dean Shen said casually while drinking water:
"Inside the envelope was not money, but national food coupons, a total of 200 kilograms.
The food coupons were given by that kid Lin Sanqi. You will get to know him later. He is a very cunning guy. He has no shortage of money or food. If he was not afraid of the bad influence, he would have wanted to carry the food directly to the door.
Now it's just the two of us, and we'll know what happens once we get out of this door. Don't give me a hard time, I know you have six children and you have parents back home to support, and these food coupons can at least help with some of your difficulties.
My dear friend, we all survived the war, so we must not starve to death in peacetime. Principles must be followed, but the most important principle is survival. Only by surviving can we build our country, don't you agree?"
If it were someone else, Principal Jin would definitely throw the envelope away and tell the person to get out.
But Dean Shen Guoming is his old comrade, and the two have a very close relationship. If Dean Shen was not close, he would not come to him for help, and he would not be willing to open the back door.
"But Lao Shen, this, this, this is a mistake."
"Yeah, I made a mistake, but what can I do? Look at you, you're so hungry you're skin and bones. If you have the guts, pull up your pants. Are you so swollen you can't even wear shoes? You can starve, but do you want your children and grandchildren to starve too?"
Principal Jin sighed and leaned back in his chair.
"I've got the food coupons. Please transfer 200 yuan to Lin Sanqi. I don't have any money, so please help me pay for it first."
Dean Shen chuckled: "Old buddy, have you finally figured it out? Fine, I'll cover the money for you. Don't starve to death, old man, and don't make me go to Marx to collect the debt."
Principal Jin also laughed at this time: "Get lost, you old man, you were a little rascal back then, and you are still an old rascal now."
When Lin Sanqi came up with a big bag of grapefruits, a teacher was already waiting in the principal's office.
Principal Jin introduced:
"Lin Sanqi, this is Director Lu from the Student Affairs Office. Please give him your personal file, work permit, and household registration card."
"Old Lu, this Lin Sanqi works at the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. His father is Dr. Lin Kushen, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. You should treat him according to his lineage. There's a continuing education class graduating this semester, so add his name to the student file..."
Teacher Lu nodded repeatedly: "Okay, Principal, I will take care of this matter myself."
Lin Sanqi followed Teacher Lu out of the principal's office and came to the student affairs office.
Seeing that there was no one around, Lin Sanqi quickly stuffed an envelope into Teacher Lu's drawer. Teacher Lu didn't see anything, but the smile on his face became much more sincere.
"Comrade Lin Sanqi, right? Come here. Fill out these forms. Also, take the graduation exam. Here are the answers. Don't copy them all. You might make some mistakes. Did you bring your personal photo? Okay, give it to me."
As soon as the door was closed, the two of them started to get busy.
Two hours later, Teacher Lu handed a file bag and a diploma to Lin Sanqi.
"Alright, this file contains your student registration form, graduation transcripts, and school evaluations. Just take them back to the Organization and Human Resources Department of your workplace. Also, keep this diploma. It's like the state recognizes you as having a college degree."
All the materials, including the urgent information on the graduation certificate, are handwritten, with a photo and official seal attached. This diploma is as real as it can be, and the university also keeps it on file.
Lin Sanqi was grinning so hard that his back teeth were showing. He never thought that he could get the diploma so easily.
"Then Mr. Lu, I'm leaving now. Sorry to bother you. Thank you, thank you."
Teacher Lu patted Lin Sanqi on the shoulder and said, "Keep a low profile on this matter. Don't let anyone see it. Just go back to the unit and check it out and put it on file. Don't tell anyone else, or you'll cause trouble."
"Okay."
Lin Sanqi put the file bag and college diploma into his backpack and left happily.
When Teacher Lu saw Lin Sanqi walking away, he quickly locked the door, then took out the envelope and took a look. His eyes dropped to the ground. A full 50 kilograms of precious national food coupons...
At the entrance of the cafeteria, Lin Sanqi was holding two big grapefruits, looking around and waiting for Pan Ye to arrive.
Then Lin Sanqi became a giant panda and was watched by the crowd. A group of people surrounded the two grapefruits and began to talk about them:
"Hey classmate, are those two in your hand oranges?"
"Idiot, have you ever seen an orange this big?"
"If it's not an orange, then what is it?"
"You don't understand this, do you? This must have been imported from abroad. Wasn't it given by the Soviet Union?"
"Do you understand? It's so cold in the Soviet Union that you can't grow fruit. I think it must have been given by South Vietnam."
Lin Sanqi was amused by these college students with clear eyes but a hint of stupidity, and quickly explained:
"This isn't a foreign product. It's a pomelo grown in Guangqi, our country. But its internal structure is similar to an orange. Look, it looks like this when you peel it open, one segment at a time. Smell it, isn't it fragrant? It tastes pretty good, too..."
When Pan Ye arrived, the cafeteria entrance was already crowded with people. Those who didn't know thought Lin Sanqi was a fruit vendor trying to sell his products...
