"Ahem..." Thinking of this, Li Chu coughed lightly, interrupting Ding Qiunan's conversation with them.
"Ziqiang, Jianing, these days it's all about free love, and I won't stop you. But you have to follow the rules. If you want to establish a relationship, you have to submit an application first!"
"Yes, teacher!"
"Okay, let's go eat."
"teacher"
Just a few steps toward the small canteen, Duan Jianing suddenly called out again.
"What's wrong, Jianing?"
"Teacher, this morning a woman came to you wanting to schedule an appointment for her child's medical treatment. She said you had previously participated in her child's surgery."
"Is your surname Chen?"
"Ah, right, right, I think her name is Chen Yuan. I saw her work ID; she's a reporter."
When is the appointment?
She said she would come back at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.
"Okay, I understand."
...
"A reporter? Who is that?"
While queuing for food in the small canteen, Ding Qiunan pondered for a long time before finally asking the question.
“As I told you last year, the maternal and child health hospital asked me to come for a consultation because a little girl had two tumors in her chest cavity.”
"Oh, oh, I remember now, why are we doing this again? Wasn't the surgery successful?"
"I guess someone gave her some pointers, and she wants me to help her child get better. Old Zhang, just pour that soup over the rice."
"Alright! Here's an extra spoonful for you!"
"Thanks, Lao Zhang."
"Boss, please don't embarrass me!"
"Old Zhang, why don't you just give Director Li a couple more spoonfuls?"
"That won't do. There's a limit to the amount of food. I want everyone to get some."
Old Zhang, who gets food at the small canteen, is a stubborn and inflexible person.
No matter if you're the dean, political commissar, or department head, the food he serves is always the same. Even if it's Ding Qiunan, the head of their logistics department, who comes to get food, it's the same. He's impartial and quite endearing.
He wasn't a member of the military, but his son used to be. Ten years ago, the general hospital went on a training exercise and died in an accident.
After receiving the letter from the army, Lao Zhang walked all the way from his hometown in Anhui Province, begging for food along the way.
I set off in summer and arrived in Beijing in winter.
You said he has no money?
He had two hundred yuan in his pocket at the time, which his son sent back to him every month, but he was reluctant to spend it.
After his son's funeral arrangements were completed, the hospital learned that he was the only one left in his family and didn't have a formal job back in his hometown, so they let him stay in the kitchen to do odd jobs and even arranged a dormitory for him.
He couldn't stay idle either; not only did odd jobs in the canteen, but he also helped clean the camp area when he had free time.
He worked there for ten years. When Dean Shan was in office, he resolved the issue of his employment status. Now he is a formal employee of the General Hospital, and he will be able to retire in a few years when he reaches the required age.
"Old Li, are you free after dinner?"
Just as Li Chu and his wife finished getting their food and sat down, Dean Du at the next table asked a question.
"Nothing's wrong, what's wrong?"
"Then I'll come to your place later, and we'll talk there."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Li Chu felt somewhat confused. What could Dean Du want with him? He wasn't a member of the hospital anymore, and he didn't care about anything in the hospital. What did he want to talk to him about?
With questions swirling in his head, he finished his meal and returned to his office. He told Ding Qiunan to go to the inner room to sleep, while he prepared tea in advance and waited for Dean Du to arrive.
It wasn't one person who came, but three people.
Besides Dean Du, the other two are vice deans in charge of business operations: Vice Dean Song, who is in charge of internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, and traditional Chinese medicine, and Vice Dean Chang, who is in charge of surgery.
This made Li Chu even more confused. It seemed to be a big deal. While thinking about it, he quickly made two cups of tea after inviting them to sit on the sofa.
Dean Du didn't waste any time. After he sat down, he went straight to the point and said, "Old Li, the report submitted by the institute last year regarding the restructuring and the application for an increase in staff has been approved."
"Uh... Lao Du, are you referring to the application to split up departments?"
"Yes! But not all of them have been approved. Here is the document, please take a look."
Looking at the document on the coffee table, Li Chu didn't pick it up. He knew very well what the document contained. He just hadn't expected that these three people had come over to talk about this.
The contents of this document were all discussed and approved by him through a show of hands. He was one of the participants, so who could know it better than him?
Moreover, this restructuring is just an experiment, as the headquarters is being quite cautious due to the need to significantly increase staffing.
It is permissible to have three secondary departments under surgery and two secondary departments under internal medicine. As for obstetrics and gynecology and traditional Chinese medicine, the former's application for separation was not approved, while the latter does not need to be separated at all.
Dean Du and the others had already discussed it, and Vice Dean Song was responsible for explaining their findings to Li Chu.
The general idea is that under the general surgery department, there are orthopedics, oncology surgery, and neurosurgery.
As for internal medicine, it includes gastroenterology and respiratory medicine.
Li Chu's cancer project will be a collaboration with the Department of Surgical Oncology; this needs to be revised and submitted later.
Li Chu had no objection to the result they reached, because it had nothing to do with him.
Honestly, I've been using Yeguo Reading to read and follow my favorite books lately. It has easy source switching, multiple reading voice options, and is compatible with both Android and Apple devices. (yeguoyuedu)
He is a member of his internal security committee, and this will not change because of a split. If Li Chu doesn't think you are good enough, even if you become the director after this split, he still won't want you.
What are the benefits of becoming a member of the Internal Security Committee?
First, their benefits and salary will be upgraded by one level, and they will also be given priority in promotion to higher military ranks.
For example, Vice President Chang, who is the deputy director of the Internal Security Committee, was the only one among the vice presidents of the General Hospital to receive a gold bead during this award ceremony.
You should know that this is a step you might never be able to take in your lifetime.
With enjoyment comes responsibility and obligation. Take Li Chu, for example. He no longer belongs to himself. When there's a mission, no matter when or whether you have personal matters to attend to, you have to leave with just one phone call. There's no room for discussion unless you're bedridden and can't get up.
"I have no objections, let's do it the way you discussed, but..."
His words stunned the three people, and they didn't continue for a long time, which made them even more anxious.
"Old Li, what is it? If you have any opinions, just say so."
"Haha, just kidding. What I really meant was that Lao Song should treat us to a meal."
? ? ?
Vice President Song looked utterly bewildered.
Why are you hosting a dinner? Do I have some good news? Why didn't I know?
"Old Du, Old Chang, from now on you two can't call him Vice President Song anymore, you have to call him President Song."
"No, Director Li, what do you mean by that? Why are you calling me Dean Song?"
"The document will probably be issued in the next day or two. Congratulations, you will be the president of the Second Affiliated Hospital from now on."
