Daqudeng Hutong, north of the Chinese Medicine Hospital, is the central courtyard of the Gege Mansion.
The days are long in summer, and it is not dark at dinner time. In addition, it is quite hot and stuffy indoors, so every household sets up the dining table in the yard to eat.
Unlike the east and west courtyards of the Gege Mansion, the central courtyard is where the leadership of the Chinese medicine hospital lives, such as the dean, vice dean, key middle-level cadres, etc.
Therefore, the environment in the central courtyard is very quiet. The ingredients on the tables of each household are not rich, but they are definitely top-notch at that time.
The simplest one is that every household in the big courtyard next door eats cornmeal steamed buns, while the people in the middle courtyard eat white flour steamed buns.
Shen Guoming is from the south, and southerners don’t like to eat noodles, so Shen Guoming’s family eats rice.
Oh no, it should be rice porridge.
At this time, Dean Shen was drinking white rice porridge, eating pickles, and listening to the radio, looking quite contented.
While drinking porridge, Huang Huiqin glanced at the door of the east wing next to her. A group of people were gathered there, chatting lively, and bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time.
"Dean Luo, are you having dinner? Wow, your dining table is so simple."
"Dean Luo, please try our braised donkey meat. I brought it from Baoding."
"Hey, Dean Luo, are you eating? Haha, this is the Eight Treasures Dish my wife made herself. Please taste it."
"Dean Luo..."
Huang Huiqin sipped her porridge, curled her lips, and cursed softly in dissatisfaction:
"What the hell, a bunch of sycophants."
Although Shen Guoming still works at the Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and enjoys the treatment of a director, he has retired from his leadership position and become an ordinary Chinese medicine doctor.
The dean was not promoted from among the vice deans as usual, but a dean was directly parachuted in from another place.
And according to rumors, he is here to make some money and solve his rank problem first. He will definitely be promoted in the future and is a middle-aged cadre with a bright future.
After the new dean took office, it was impossible for the old dean to move, so Shen Guoming still lived in the main house in the middle courtyard.
The new dean and his family moved to the east wing, occupying four rooms, and their living conditions were not bad.
But ever since the new dean took office, the east wing has become bustling. Not to mention meal times, even after dark there are still many people coming in.
On the other hand, the Shen family in the main courtyard, which used to be bustling with people, has now become deserted and no one cares about them.
Even if Dean Shen was sitting at the door to enjoy the cool air, people passing by would at most say hello and then rush into the east wing.
Huang Huiqin has been the dean's wife for so many years, and the sudden silence now makes her feel a strong sense of disparity. At the same time, she also has strong dissatisfaction with the newly promoted middle-level managers of the Chinese medicine hospital.
Dean Shen, however, looked unconcerned:
"Eat your food. I'm already a retired old man. What's the point of flattering me? Humans are realistic animals. You're obsessed with appearances."
Huang Huiqin said unhappily:
"What do you mean by 'obsession' or 'not obsession'? Look at Wu Ming. He never focused on his work back then, and was always thinking about scheming and plotting. He even bullied Xiao Qi. But now, look at him. He's the one who visits Xiao Luo the most diligently."
Shen Guoming took a look and then smiled:
"This guy has been suppressed by Xiao Qi and I for years. He probably thinks he's a slave who has turned over a new leaf. But there's nothing we can do about it. A new emperor appoints new ministers. That's the way it is in government agencies."
There is an unspoken rule in the unit.
The next leader will generally not use the confidants used by the previous leader.
Leaders with high emotional intelligence often promote a group of unqualified people to serve them, but there are also some overbearing leaders who like to promote employees that their predecessors dislike and go against their predecessors.
Because this group of people have hatred towards their predecessors, they work harder after being promoted by the current one.
Huang Huiqin obviously still has resentment towards the current President Luo.
"Bah, what a joke! You and Xiao Qi have built up the Chinese Medicine Hospital so well, and now someone comes to pick the peaches. You can pick them if you want, but you keep changing this and that all day long and giving us a hard time, trying to act like you're in control."
After the new president, Luo Weiliang, came to power, although he did not openly oppose the policy of Shen Guoming's system, he actually overturned it at the first opportunity.
For example, he basically replaced all the middle-level cadres.
People like Zhou Mingzhe, head of the pharmacy department, Li Xiaoping, head of the organization department, Zhang Jingang, head of the security department, and Kong Shuihu, head of the procurement department, have all stepped down, all because they are too old.
Then he promoted a group of employees who were frustrated when Shen Guoming was the dean, such as Wu Ming, the former deputy chief of the purchasing department, who is now the chief.
Secondly, he reformed the distribution plan.
There is a Chinese medicine processing business commission between the Chinese Medicine Hospital and Lin Sanqi and others.
The Chinese Medicine Hospital helped Lin Sanqi process the four secret recipe medicines he needed, and the processing fee was replaced by grain, meat, eggs and other side dishes.
This was actually a benefit that Lin Sanqi sought for his old employer, and Dean Shen subsidized all the food, meat and eggs to the canteen of the Chinese Medicine Hospital to ensure that every employee could enjoy this benefit.
In times of famine, being able to eat enough food and meat at work was the best benefit for employees of traditional Chinese medicine hospitals.
Moreover, Lin Sanqi distributed welfare to the infectious disease hospital, such as fans and radios, and he would always send one to the Chinese medicine hospital, without fail.
Dean Shen’s approach is to distribute these supplies as prizes to advanced workers.
However, after Dean Luo became the dean, he sent most of the food, meat and eggs sent by Lin Sanqi to the higher authorities.
It is said that the leaders of the department were very happy and felt that Luo Weiliang was a capable person.
That's nonsense. The department was of course happy to get so much food, meat and eggs for free, and Luo Weiliang was also doing others' kindness in exchange for his own favor.
Of course the employees are very dissatisfied, but what can the grassroots employees do?
Write a letter to report?
The food is eaten by the superiors, who are you reporting?
Shen Guoming couldn't stand Luo Weiliang's behavior of disregarding the interests of employees and desperately flattering his superiors. Although he didn't say it, he was actually dissatisfied in his heart.
At this moment, a person walked in from the Chuihua Gate.
The key point is that this person was holding big and small boxes in his arms, and there were a lot of bags hanging on his shoulders. It was obvious that he was here to give gifts.
Although there are two presidents in the entire Intermediate Court, one is an outdated old president and the other is a newly appointed new president. It is obvious who he is flattering.
When Luo Weiliang saw someone coming to give gifts, he was delighted. There must be a lot of things in these big and small packages.
But his face was stern and he looked a little unhappy.
The flatterers who were standing nearby also had their mouths twitching, thinking that they had seen people giving gifts in the middle of the night, but they had never seen anyone give gifts so blatantly.
Which leader would dare to accept this? How low is their EQ?
Everyone in the courtyard looked at the newcomer, and then a head popped out from behind a pile of gift boxes:
"Godfather, Godmother, come and help me take it, I can't hold it anymore."
When Shen Guoming and Huang Huiqin saw it, they were immediately happy. They quickly put down their bowls and came to Lin Sanqi and took over the bags in his hands.
Huang Huiqin's previous depression was swept away, and she scolded:
"You kid, you're already such a senior cadre, why are you still acting like a child? Now that you're here, why are you carrying so many things?"
Lin Sanqi shook his aching arms and then smiled:
"Godmother, these are all special gifts sent from various provinces. I'm just offering them as gifts. These boxes are pastries from your hometown, Jiangsu Province, and these boxes are Biluochun tea, both of which are first-class.
And this heaviest bag contains a Jinhua ham, and these bottles contain 30-year-old Shaoxing rice wine. Also, this is a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng, for you and your godfather to nourish. The old man is retired, and he's probably feeling down.
Huang Huiqin gently hit Lin Sanqi and scolded him with a smile:
"Your godfather is fine, stop talking nonsense, come inside quickly, I'll turn on the fan for you."
Lin Sanqi waved his hands, and then saw a large group of people on the right looking at him, and he felt a little strange:
"Hey, isn't this Lao Li, Lao Fang, and Lao Sun? And who is this? Hey, long time no see, Deputy Section Chief Wu. This is..."
When Wu Ming saw Lin Sanqi, he snorted and turned his head away.
Sun Jun, who was present, was quite good at dealing with people, and he quickly introduced Lin Sanqi:
"Director Lin, long time no see. I bet you haven't met me yet. Let me introduce you. This is Comrade Luo Weiliang, the new director of our Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. Director Luo, this is Comrade Lin Sanqi, the director of the Infectious Diseases Hospital." (End of this chapter)
