The newly arrived Dean Yang looked up at Li Chu and said, "Dr. Li, please have a seat. I'll finish writing this." Before Li Chu could react, he lowered his head again.
Li Chu's heart skipped a beat. What was going on? Was he being told to come over and sit as punishment? Or was it a way of giving him a hard time?
When Dean Yang looked up and spoke to him just now, although he had a smile on his face, it was obviously a fake smile.
He thought about it carefully and realized that he had never met this Dean Yang before, let alone offended him. So why did they do this to him?
After more than ten minutes, Dean Yang put down his pen, looked up at Li Chu and said, "I'm sorry, Dr. Li, for keeping you waiting."
"Dean Yang, you're too kind. You can just call me Xiao Li."
"I just arrived at your hospital today, and I'm not familiar with the staff. I haven't looked at the personnel files yet. I'll just call people over from the roster to talk to, so don't be nervous."
As he spoke, Dean Yang picked up the roster beside him, glanced at it, and continued, "I noticed that you are not very old, but your technical level is not low. According to the rules, you should not have enough years of experience to be evaluated for your level. Is there any special situation? Can you tell me why?"
“Hmm,” Li Chu organized his thoughts and said, “It’s like this, Dean Yang. Because I have a part-time job in the department, the department specially arranged an evaluation for me.”
"A part-time job in the department?" Dean Yang repeated Li Chu's words, then suddenly seemed to remember something: "Xiao Li, the part-time job you mentioned is in the Health Bureau, right?"
Li Chu smiled at Dean Yang but didn't say anything.
"Oh my, I never expected our hospital to have someone as talented as you!" Dean Yang's smile seemed a little more genuine.
"It's all thanks to the kindness of my seniors that I was allowed to learn from them," Li Chu said modestly.
Dean Yang waved his hand: "Being selected is an honor in itself. You don't need to be modest. Are you still working in the outpatient clinic?"
"Dean Yang, I basically don't see patients anymore. I usually participate in consultations. I also have a research project that I haven't finished yet, but I've temporarily stopped working on it due to some special reasons."
"Could you tell me about your research project? If it's inconvenient, then never mind," Dean Yang asked curiously.
"It's not inconvenient at all, Dean Yang. I'm currently researching kidney disease, mainly thinking about whether we can correlate Western medicine's diagnosis of the causes and treatments of kidney disease with those of traditional Chinese medicine."
"Actually, I just feel that it's too uncomfortable when Western medicine doctors and traditional Chinese medicine doctors talk to each other during consultations, so I wanted to see if there could be any changes."

"That's great. Many research projects are designed for convenience. Xiao Li, I fully support your research. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to contact me anytime. Although I don't understand your professional skills, I can still provide logistical support."
"Dean Yang, you are the leader, I will definitely come to you if I have any difficulties."
"Xiao Li, let's stop here for today. I still have a lot of people to talk to today. Let's sit down and have a good chat another day after I've sorted out my work. I just enjoy communicating with young people like you."
"Dean, please go ahead with your work. I'll head over now."
Dean Yang nodded: "After you go back, call your Director Liang over."
On the way back, Li Chu thought about the new dean. He said he had invited him over for a talk, but nothing substantial was said. This new dean was probably the same as the old dean, specializing in administration.
Back at the outpatient clinic, I first went over to tell Director Liang that the new hospital director was looking for him. I was just about to leave when Director Liang called me back.
Li Chu followed him outside the office, where Director Liang asked, "You just met the new dean. What did you think of him?"
"Director, the dean just chatted with me for a few minutes, and I didn't feel anything was amiss." Although Director Liang was usually very nice to him, he wouldn't talk about another leader behind his back, whether it was good or bad. Who knew that a word might accidentally get out?
After Director Liang left, Li Chu was about to enter the consultation room when he saw Director He and Deputy Director Li from the Department of Surgery walking over and calling out to him from a distance.
"Little Li"
"Director He, Director Li, what brings you two here?"
After the two surgical directors approached, Director He said, "We've come to ask you about something."
"Director He, please don't make fun of a young man like me."
"Xiao Li, Director He and I have come here today to seek your advice, since you were the one who brought this up first."
After hearing what Director Li said, Li Chu was a little confused. He wondered what it was that he had brought up first, but he didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he invited the two directors to sit in the consultation room.
After they came in, Nurse Wang poured water for the two directors, and seeing that they seemed to be discussing business, she left.
"Director He, Director Li, what brings you here? I'm completely confused."
"Is that so, Xiao Li?" Director He placed a stack of documents on the table. "The proposal you made that year about establishing a specialized emergency department has been approved by the Ministry, allowing us to conduct a pilot program at our hospital."
"Holy crap!" Li Chu thought to himself after hearing Director He's words. He remembered that his report was submitted not long after the factory collapse, and it took more than two years to get it approved. The work efficiency was really high.
Director He could also see what Li Chu was thinking, and said with a smile, "Don't complain about the slowness. After all, it needs to be discussed by experts, and the ministry also needs to submit an application for additional staffing. It's already fast enough."
Director He patted the documents on the table and continued, "The document has been issued, requiring our surgery department to take the lead, with Director Li temporarily in charge, so we've come to consult you, the one who proposed it."
"Director He, it's not really asking for advice. I just had a feeling at the time, and I had a vague idea in my mind. I heard that emergency centers have existed abroad for a long time. Our Dean Zhang and many experts have studied abroad, so they must have seen this kind of emergency center model."
"You're getting more and more cunning, always pushing things away," Director He said with a laugh.
Li Chu also said with a smile, "Director He, it's not that I'm trying to push you out, but this emergency department is actually within the scope of your Western medicine. You're asking me, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, for advice. It's like asking a blind person for directions."
It wasn't that he was unwilling to say anything, but Li Chu had only seen those things in the emergency room when he went to the hospital in his previous life.
He has absolutely no idea how to set it up or how to operate it.
