Chapter 105 Director Ma's Conspiracy
I don't know which wise man once said this profound statement: "Where there are people, there will inevitably be the Jianghu. And where there is the Jianghu, there will inevitably be interests. Once interests are involved, fierce struggles are inevitable."
In the logistics department of the City Central Hospital, this seemingly small "jianghu" is also filled with complex conflicts of interest, and fierce struggles caused by interests are impossible to avoid. Beneath this seemingly calm surface, undercurrents surge, and various forces and interests are intertwined, forming an intricate network.
Director Ma seems to be in charge and the entire logistics department is headed by him, but in fact, most of the people under him have complicated relationship backgrounds.
Normally, everything is peaceful and everyone gives each other some face to maintain superficial harmony and tranquility.
However, once the core interests are touched upon, the seemingly calm situation will be broken in an instant, just like a calm lake with a huge rock thrown into it, causing waves.
A graduate student came to the Logistics Department last year. His surname is Liu and his name is Liu Chenyang. He is proud of his high academic qualifications and the fact that he is the nephew of a deputy director of our Municipal Health Commission. He does not take Director Ma seriously and wants to replace Director Ma's position in both open and covert ways.
Liu Chenyang had just arrived and was full of the drive and arrogance of a young man. He believed that with his education and background, the leadership position of the Logistics Department would be his sooner or later.
As a result, he often expressed doubts and dissatisfaction with Director Ma's decisions at work, trying to establish his authority by demonstrating his abilities and insights.
Director Ma saw all of this, but didn't take it to heart.
First of all, the power to appoint and dismiss the hospital logistics director lies with the hospital leaders. The superior unit does not have direct jurisdiction and can only give a nod at most.
He is well aware of the rules and power structure involved and knows that his position cannot be easily shaken.
Secondly, Liu Chenyang’s uncle, whom he calls Director Liu, is only a deputy director of the National Health Commission, at the same level as his cousin.
And my cousin happens to be in charge of this part of the hospital's business.
Director Ma has full confidence in his cousin's ability and status, and believes that his cousin will have the upper hand in this potential power struggle.
Then Liu Chenyang has no advantages in terms of business ability, experience level and superior resources, so why should he replace me?
The current situation is that since the Ministry of Health was changed to the National Health Commission, the adjustment of the system and functions has brought about a series of changes and challenges.
Director Ma's cousin naturally became one of the four deputy directors from deputy director, and competed with Liu Chenyang's uncle openly and secretly for the position of director.
The old director of the National Health Commission will retire in a year and a half at most. Generally speaking, one of the four deputy directors will be promoted.
At this critical moment, all parties are competing secretly and making plans for the candidates they support.
Director Ma’s cousin is the youngest among them and has certain connections there.
He is well-behaved at work and has been recognized and appreciated by many superiors.
Moreover, he is good at communicating and coordinating with others, and can skillfully maneuver in complex interpersonal relationships to gain more support for himself. He also has his own network of contacts in the province!
Liu Chenyang's uncle is at a very awkward age. If he can be promoted, he can serve for two more terms; if he cannot be promoted, he may have to retire early or be transferred to an extremely quiet institution to retire.
He knew that this was his last chance, so he went all out and spared no effort to use all available resources and connections.
Similarly, Liu Chenyang's uncle also has some connections there. He worked in the National Health Commission for many years and has accumulated a certain amount of connections and experience.
However, as he gets older, his energy and drive are gradually inferior to those of the younger generation, which becomes a potential disadvantage for him in competition.
The other two deputy directors had long lost their ambition and were content to wait for retirement. They remained neutral in this power struggle and did not easily express support for either side.
However, their votes are crucial. At critical moments, their choices may have a decisive impact on the final outcome.
In today's society, the exchange of interests and the struggle for power have become increasingly complex and subtle. If you make empty promises without providing tangible benefits, all you get is a blank check that cannot be cashed.
Without tangible benefits, no one can truly help you. Therefore, recently, my cousin has increased the frequency of his visits to Director Ma. Liu Chenyang has also been particularly active, running around everywhere, all with the goal of transferring more benefits to help his backers secure that position.
Under such circumstances, the next day, Director Ma called Liu Chenyang to his office.
Although Liu Chenyang gave Director Ma all kinds of nicknames and said all kinds of weird things behind his back, he still maintained the most basic respect in front of him: Hello, Director Ma, you’re looking for me!
"Yes, Xiao Liu, you have been in our logistics department for quite some time. It's time for you to take over some important matters. We are not young anymore, and the world will belong to you young people in the future," Director Ma said meaningfully.
"That's right, that's right, Director Ma, you are still young, and we still need your leadership." Although Liu Chenyang was very happy in his heart, he still had to put in the effort on the surface. This was also the result of his uncle's constant teaching over the past year.
Hahaha, Director Ma laughed symbolically twice, and then said: "Xiao Liu, now there is a task that needs you to complete."
When Liu Chenyang heard this, he immediately thought that it was not a good thing, but he said, "Just give me your orders, I will do my best to complete it!"
Director Ma nodded and said, "Our hospital needs to replace a batch of printing office equipment. This involves the central hospital, several affiliated hospitals, and the physical examination center. The supplier has been basically confirmed. I need you to confirm the details, such as price, model, installation and debugging, etc."
Liu Chenyang was stunned. Did the sun rise from the west? Why would Director Ma give him such a lucrative job?
Director Ma ignored Liu Chenyang and continued, "You are also responsible for signing the final contract, including acceptance and so on. Any questions?"
Liu Chenyang had recovered from his great surprise by this time and said quickly, "No problem, no problem. Don't worry, Director Ma, I will definitely complete the task you assigned to me!"
Director Ma glanced at Liu Chenyang, whose face was almost smiling, and nodded with a smile, "You must complete it well!"
