Chapter 179 Little did he know the opportunity he had in his grasp was about to slip away.
Jiang Ning thought for a moment before saying, "Dean Kong thought my medical skills were good, so he came to the family compound to recruit me to work at this hospital."
Grandpa He thought she spoke so lightly.
The fact that the head of the hospital personally came to her home clearly shows that he values her abilities. To invite her to his home is more like a formal invitation than a formal invitation.
This young lady is still too modest.
After the treatment, He Tingdong helped Grandpa He leave.
On the way back, Grandpa He looked at his son beside him and asked, "What's the situation at the General Military Hospital?"
"Dad, I'm not entirely sure either. As you instructed, I only sent you a message asking them to thoroughly investigate Dean Lin's hospital. Who would have thought they misunderstood me?"
Having said that, He Tingdong was also quite helpless.
Their family never resorts to force; whatever they want to achieve or whatever position they want to reach, they do so through their own efforts.
Jiang Ning is a rare talent, and it would be a loss for the country if such a talent did not receive better support.
Mr. He retired due to injury, and he knows all too well what kind of existence such a talent is to the country.
He certainly wouldn't hesitate to recommend such a talented person.
If it weren't for Jiang Ning, he would never have been able to pass on a message to Dean Lin's hospital.
Besides, he only said he would focus on key areas of investigation, but he didn't say which hospital he wanted to choose. I don't know how those people interpreted it.
Old Master He's eyes were filled with annoyance. "Send another message to the General Hospital and have them send someone to the capital to investigate again. Make sure they send impartial people and that this kind of gift-giving and accepting is not allowed to happen again."
“Okay, I understand, Dad.” He Tingdong nodded.
The old man was so angry for two reasons. First, he considered bribery and gift-giving to be the most shameful thing.
The main reason is probably because of Jiang Ning.
Grandpa He suddenly said, "Never mind, don't rush. Let me write a letter of recommendation, and you can have someone send the message and the letter of recommendation to the General Military Hospital."
He Tingdong was somewhat surprised; this was the first time the old man had made an exception.
He wasn't jealous. Having been in that position for many years, he could tell at a glance whether a person was serious or not.
As for Dr. Jiang, he could tell that she didn't have any ambition for power or influence. She was someone who was wholeheartedly devoted to medicine, yet she was tainted by these dirty deeds. No wonder Old Master He would personally write a letter recommending her.

Dean Lin was unaware that the opportunity he had just obtained was about to slip away.
For several days in a row, he personally came to the People's Hospital and spoke kindly to Dean Kong about the hospital merger.
After learning about the scale of the hospital, he felt even more strongly that this area was very suitable as a branch of their hospital.
A branch of the Capital Military Region Hospital—that sounds prestigious, but I don't know why Director Kong just wouldn't agree to it.
"Dean Kong," Dean Lin greeted with a smile as he pushed open the door.
Dean Kong's face darkened as soon as he saw him. "What are you doing here again?"
Dean Lin greeted him with a smile and said to Dean Kong, "Dean Kong, I've visited you more than three times already, can't you consider my proposal?"
Dean Kong's expression was solemn. "I won't consider it. I refuse."
Dean Lin poured a glass of water and handed it to him. "Don't be so quick to refuse. Think about it carefully. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about the hospital, right?"
Dean Lin's insistence is also for the sake of future interests.
Once their hospital becomes a military hospital district, the patients they receive will definitely focus more on people of high status. For greater benefits, he naturally wants to have it both ways.
But Dean Kong was completely unmoved by reason.
Dean Kong didn't want to waste any more words with him, so he pointed to the door and said, "Take care."
Dean Lin, being shameless, simply stayed in Dean Kong's office.
He doesn't believe that no one is immune to being swayed by self-interest.
Now that Dean Kong is adamant, he has to find another way.
Dean Kong didn't ask them to leave, and sat down with them.
Dean Lin intended to wear down the other party's temper, but he didn't expect the other party to be even more persistent than him.
He couldn't sit still any longer in the afternoon, so he got up and left.
Dean Lin walked down the corridor and spat towards Dean Kong's office.
If you want to pretend to be high-minded, then keep pretending.
At that moment, several doctors in white coats passed by Dean Lin.
The doctors were chatting, and their voices were quite loud, so much so that Dean Lin overheard them.
A female doctor said to Xu Cheng, who was surrounded by them, "Dr. Xu, our hospital director values the Traditional Chinese Medicine department more. Will there be no place for our Western Medicine department in the future?"
The hospital director values the Traditional Chinese Medicine department, a fact known to all the doctors in the Western medicine department. From the moment Director Kong arrived, he allocated an entire floor to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department.
More and more people are now coming to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department for treatment. Will the Western Medicine department still be in demand in the future?
Xu Cheng frowned. He also disapproved of the dean's preference for the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, but Jiang Ning was indeed capable.
At least in cases of cerebral hemorrhage, she was able to cure the patient without surgery, which demonstrates her outstanding abilities.
It's just that her personality is hard to handle.
He said, "Our surgical skills cannot be replaced by traditional Chinese medicine. In time, when we encounter patients who have to undergo surgery, Director Kong will naturally think of us."
A doctor to Xu Cheng's left curled his lip and said, "That'll be a long time. There aren't patients who need surgery every day."
Previously, when there was a patient, a series of tests had to be done before the cause of the illness could be determined. But at the Traditional Chinese Medicine department, they could just take the patient's pulse and prescribe medicine directly.
If things continue like this, will their Western medicine department even have a chance to survive?
Someone sighed and said, "Yeah, the dean values the TCM department so much, I wonder if he's thinking of getting rid of us all. I'm still counting on the hospital's salary."
After the man finished speaking, he turned to look at Xu Cheng and said, "Dr. Xu, you don't have this problem. You are a top doctor in the hospital, and Dean Kong will definitely not fire you. If, and I mean if, Dean Kong really fires you, Dr. Xu, have you thought about your future?"
Their thoughts stemmed from a purge that occurred in the Western medicine department, resulting in the departure of many staff members. Those remaining were qualified candidates, but they worried about the possibility of another assessment.
They can't withstand this kind of turmoil.
As for the latter part of their statement, they were trying to pry some information out of Xu Cheng, and they also needed to consider their own future.
Xu Cheng didn't respond to the question about thinking about a backup plan. His expression was somber. "After all, Dean Kong was suddenly appointed as the hospital's dean. I don't know his style of doing things. If you're so worried, you might consider working at another hospital."
"Have you thought about it, Dr. Xu?" the doctor next to him asked tentatively.
Xu Cheng glanced at him indifferently, said nothing, and strode away with the medical record.
These people's thoughts are written all over their faces. Instead of studying medicine properly, they spend all their time thinking about these trivial things.
Dean Lin disguised himself as someone walking around the hospital and followed behind these doctors, overhearing their conversation.
His eyes darted around.
He even had someone investigate this Dean Kong, who was transferred from Shanxi Province and was a proponent of traditional Chinese medicine.
However, traditional Chinese medicine was too outdated, and he never expected that Dean Kong would do something so trivial and lose sight of the bigger picture.
After the doctors left, Dean Lin entered Xu Cheng's consultation room.
