Chapter 178 You were set up
Lin Sanqi went to the Logistics Department to borrow a tricycle, and then rode slowly to the Purchasing Department.
The purchasing department is not located in the main building of the hospital, but in a corner of the backyard, guarding several drug warehouses and storage areas. It is very independent and few outsiders come here.
So when Lin Sanqi appeared in the yard on his bicycle, he was immediately spotted by Zhao Dongying, who was slacking off at work:
"Look, look, Lin Sanqi is back."
Yang Qiuhong looked up and exclaimed:
"Oh, it really is him! This guy has done something great. He has traveled all over the three provinces and six regions in South China by himself. He's much better than some people."
After saying that, he rolled his eyes at Li Zexu, Bi Chunlong, Liao Zhanying and others.
These three people are the real buyers responsible for the South China region, but as luck would have it, the unit had an urgent task, and then the three of them were injured.
What was even more coincidental was that Lin Sanqi was temporarily transferred out, and these three people immediately recovered from their injuries and returned to work.
Isn't this obviously a prank? Some of the little tricks are easier to see from the sidelines.
Li Zexu didn't take it seriously, but instead shouted at the top of his voice:
"Now you understand the hard work of our South China Purchasing Team, right? Since Lin Sanqi is a cadre in the Purchasing Department, of course he wants to experience the hardships of us working people. What's wrong with that?"
Yang Qiuhong continued to roll her eyes:
"Yes, you guys work hard. Every time you go on a business trip, you're responsible for one place. Look at Lin Sanqi, he's traveled to three provinces and six counties and hasn't been home for over two months. Who's working harder?"
Li Zexu thought that he was deliberately keeping this guy busy so that he would be on business trips most of the time every year.
Even Yang Qiuhong could see through the little tricks of Li Zexu and his companions. How could an old fox like Section Chief Kong Shuihu not realize it afterwards?
But theirs is an open conspiracy, and open conspiracy is the most difficult to overcome in this world. After all, their reasons are legitimate, and they will be right even if it is reported to their superiors.
Section Chief Kong stood at the window, looking at Deputy Section Chief Wu Ming who looked calm and composed. His mind began to race. When masters fight, they always hide their strength.
As soon as Lin Sanqi entered the purchasing department, he shouted:
"Comrades, I, Hu Hansan, am back again~~~"
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Some people in the purchasing department don’t like Lin Sanqi, but there are also some people who welcome this sunny young man.
Zhao Dongying, Yang Qiuhong, Lou Lili, Liu Xirui and other female comrades were the first to stand up:
"Hey, look who's here! It's Secretary Lin."
"Director Lin, I haven't seen you for two months. You've gotten tanned! Is the sun in South China so fierce?"
Lin Sanqi didn't care. "It's better to be a little darker. Why do we, as big men, need to be so fair and tender? The working people are supposed to work hard, through wind and rain, to build our great motherland."
Section Chief Kong came out of the section chief's office, holding a teacup and smiling:
"Yes, Comrade Lin Sanqi said it well. We are all bricks of socialism, and we will move wherever there is a need. Unlike some people, who pretend to be dead and retreat when faced with difficulties, but desperately push forward when there are benefits. The leaders are watching us."
Lin Sanqi thought that Section Chief Kong understood yin and yang.
Deputy Section Chief Wu didn't even raise his head, but kept his head down, writing something, as if he didn't care about what was happening in the outside world.
Chief Kong was clearly going to take advantage of this situation today to benefit Lin Sanqi:
"And everyone doesn't know yet, Comrade Lin Sanqi hasn't returned yet, but a letter of praise has already been sent from Guangqi.
This time, Comrade Lin Sanqi accidentally encountered a plague in Qin County while on a business trip. Instead of retreating, Comrade Lin Sanqi took the initiative to assume the heavy responsibility of being the head of the medical team and fought on the front line of the fight against the epidemic at the risk of his life.
Therefore, the Qin County W County Government specially sent an official letter to praise Comrade Lin Sanqi for his special, outstanding and decisive contribution to the final successful eradication of the plague in Qin County, and for bringing honor to our Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
The hospital has decided to organize a study session on Comrade Lin Sanqi's heroic deeds and report them to the Beiping Municipal Government and the Ministry of Health. I suspect that this year's National Advanced Award will definitely go to Comrade Lin Sanqi, our purchasing department's director."
Apparently, Section Chief Kong and Dean Shen had already secretly discussed that they must seek some benefits for Lin Sanqi in this incident, strive for some political honors, and prepare for further promotion in the future.
As if to confirm what Section Chief Kong said, Lin Sanqi quickly took a banner from the tricycle.
The eight characters "Heart-to-heart talk, saving the world, grace as heavy as a mountain" are particularly prominent on the banner, and the signature below is the W County Government of Qin County, which is very formal.
There was a burst of warm applause in the purchasing department, and several other purchasing team leaders including Yang Jinbo, Huang Zhuangqun, Zhang Mingliang and others stood up to express their congratulations.
Heroes are popular in every era.
Deputy Section Chief Wu did not applaud, but the pencil in his hand suddenly broke.
Li Zexu, Zhu Xingchen, and Yang Xiaoqing were dumbfounded, wondering if there was something wrong with the Lin Sanqi. They asked you to go procure it, but you went to volunteer? And in an epidemic area? You're really risking your life for honor.
Lin Sanqi waved his hands pretentiously:
"Thank you to the hospital, and thank you to Section Chief Kong for your kindness. When I'm on a business trip, I represent not only myself, but also our entire Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. If I ran away when there was an epidemic, wouldn't that be a disgrace to our Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine? Don't you agree?"
“Well said!!!”
"Come on, come on, Guangqi gave me a lot of southern fruits this time, including the famous local grapefruits, oranges, and bananas. I've got them all on my tricycle. Let's divide them up in the purchasing department. This is a treat for everyone!!!"
"Wow, southern fruits, so good~~"
Zhao Dongying was the first to jump out and ran out the door.
More than ten people in the office all rushed out, each one of them was extremely excited. People with stutters are treasures these days.
Peking is located in the north and is not a major fruit producing area. In late autumn, you can only eat a few apples at most. If it is winter, let alone fruits, you can't even eat a small vegetable.
Lin Sanqi wanted to win people's hearts, and some small favors were effortless for him.
"Come here, this big golden yellow one is called a pomelo. Actually, you can think of it as a large orange. You also need to peel it, and the inside is grid-like, like this."
Don't be surprised, grapefruits are not produced in the north these days, and many people have never seen them.
Lin Sanqi peeled one on the spot and shared it with everyone like a fruit vendor:
"Try it everyone. It tastes sweet and has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. I'll give one to each of you later. You can choose your own."
Zhao Dongying was the first to grab a piece of fruit pulp, put it in her mouth and chewed it, her eyes wide open:
"Delicious, delicious! Wow, people in the south are so lucky, eating fruit as a meal every day."
Lin Sanqi teased, "If you eat it every day, you'll vomit. For example, when I go to the beach, they steam lobsters and fish this big, and the taste is so delicious. But the fishermen eat it every day, so they're already tired of it."
Seeing Lin Sanqi chatting and laughing with everyone, Li Zexu and Yang Xiaoqing all curled their lips:
"Tsk, you're just a bunch of peasants. You're so excited about a few grapefruits. What kind of fruit haven't I eaten in the South?"
"That's right, he was bribed with just a pomelo. Look at how greedy he is, tsk tsk tsk."
Yang Qiuhong held a large sleeve in her hand and heard someone next to her making sarcastic remarks, her heart filled with contempt:
"We should all thank Comrade Lin Sanqi for always thinking of his department when something good happens. Unlike some people who have been traveling around the South China region for so many years and haven't brought back a single pomelo, let alone a single kumquat. You wouldn't know until you compare yourself to others, but once you do, everything is exposed."
"That's right. In all the years we've been in the purchasing department, has anyone ever brought back local specialties to distribute to the department?"
"Last time it was pork, this time it's fruit. Wow, if there's ever an election in the future I'll definitely vote for Comrade Lin Sanqi."
Section Chief Kong was also very happy to hear this. He picked up two pomeloes and handed them to Lin Sanqi, and picked up two for himself.
"Come on, follow me to the dean's office. I'll bring this pomelo to the dean's office for them to taste."
Section Chief Kong would never compete with his employees for local specialties. He was very sure that Lin Sanqi would arrange a surprising "gift" for him in the evening.
As a leader, you must maintain an image of integrity on the surface.
Dean Shen's office is on the second floor. It is a building that looks like it was built in the Republic of China. It looks ordinary on the surface, and the floor is all made of wood.
Section Chief Kong walked to the door of the hospital office and handed two grapefruits to the female staff inside.
"Here, everyone, try this! This is the fruit our comrade Kelin Sanqi brought back from Guangqi. It's delicious."
Almost all the staff members of the hospital office are women, and there is no woman who doesn't like fruit. This wave of gratitude brought Lin Sanqi another wave of gratitude.
Dean's Office
Lin Sanqi was obediently peeling a pomelo beside him, and Dean Shen was eating it with great satisfaction:
"Well, this pomelo is delicious. My hometown, Suzhou, also produces it, but it's a bit sour and not as delicious as the ones from Guangqi, which are very sweet. I think you have a way to transport these treasures from thousands of miles away."
Lin Sanqi chuckled, "I'm young and energetic, so I'll take advantage of my business trip to get some local specialties. This is a way to have fun in the midst of hardship."
While eating pomelo, Dean Shen carefully inquired about the process of this business trip to South China, especially about the epidemic situation in Qin County.
"Xiao Qi, as the dean, I want to commend you for your fearless spirit. You've also earned honor for our Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. But as an elder, Uncle Shen advises you to avoid the plague if possible next time you encounter one. Plagues are not something that can be solved by individual heroism."
Lin Sanqi understood that Dean Shen was genuinely concerned, so he quickly expressed:
"I'll listen to Uncle Shen."
But I thought to myself: Next time I encounter an epidemic, I must not retreat. After all, time travelers are blessed with good fortune, so how could anything go wrong? Otherwise, I can't continue writing the novel.
Dean Shen said casually at this time:
"Your business trip to South China this time was actually a setup. Someone in your department didn't want you to stay in the capital for too long, or stay at work. They used this veiled scheme to keep you traveling so much. Do you understand?"
