Chapter 1526 - 617: The Expectations of the Hospital Leadership and Jiang Wei’s Marriage (Part 2)
Especially in this kind of large hospital, the last thing they lack is people.It’s not unusual to have over a thousand applicants for the recruitment of ten nurses.
"What are you thinking? I just have a distant relative relationship with Vice Director Ye, that’s all." Nurse Chief Niu Lan, who has seen countless people, caught a hint of misunderstanding from Zhou Can’s eyes and couldn’t help but explain the relationship between her and Vice Director Ye with a glare in her phoenix-like eyes.
Three thousand miles for a distant relative, five hundred years for a close one.
Distant relative relationships are not reliable.
She initially revealed that she was passing a message for Vice Director Ye, definitely on purpose. It was to make Zhou Can understand who was backing her.
Nowadays, Zhou Can is already quite well-established and is rising rapidly.
In the future, she will definitely have places to rely on Zhou Can.
Making good relations now and laying the groundwork will make it less abrupt to ask for favors in the future.
These days, even if you give gifts, if you don’t have an acquaintance to take you in, you can’t even get through the door. Let alone them accepting your gift.
Who would dare to accept?
Vice Director Ye has always had a good relationship with Zhou Can and has nurtured him a lot.
Now that he knows she is one of Vice Director Ye’s people, won’t Zhou Can feel obliged to return the favor and help her a little in the future?
Of course, it’s a good thing if the other party actively wants to get closer to him.
For a tree to flourish with leaves and branches, it must have sufficiently deep roots.
Zhou Can is very willing to establish a relationship with a middle manager like Nurse Chief Niu Lan, thereby weaving an invisible, intangible large net. Everyone in this large network will gain enough benefits, and their positions will be solidified.
Some powerful figures who can rally support with a single call, isn’t it because they have such a large network of connections?
"So you’re Vice Director Ye’s relative, why didn’t you say so earlier! Vice Director Ye treats me like family and has greatly benefited me, as his relative, if you need anything in the future, I should certainly assist you."
Zhou Can naturally knows how to speak.
These words, she surely finds very pleasing to hear.
"No wonder Vice Director Ye always praises you as reliable and trustworthy, and indeed you are." She straightened her permed curls and continued, "According to reliable information, Dean Zhu should retire this month. The hospital’s pharmacy has always been a concern for several hospital leaders, and there’s worry that Tuya Hospital might grow too unruly, so a new dean might be appointed. The hospital leaders have discussed the idea of spinning off the pharmacy into a separate entity, ideally forming a direct-sale company in cooperation with Tuya Hospital."
The information she disclosed was truly one bombshell after another.
Dean Zhu’s retirement was something Zhou Can knew long ago.
Just didn’t expect it to happen so soon.
And the hospital pharmacy, its composition is extremely complex. If traced back, it goes to the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty.
It’s well-known that Emperor Jiaqing loved practicing Taoist alchemy and almost neglected administration.
All over the country, special alchemy institutions were established.
Later, when plagues and diseases were rampant, after Emperor Jiaqing’s death, those alchemy institutions were disbanded. Without imperial support, the pharmacists had to survive somehow!
Some of these alchemy institutions adapted to the times and became traditional Chinese medicine shops.
But their scale was incomparable to ordinary pharmacies. They had a set of techniques for growing and making medicine, learning from thousands of years of history in medicine gathering, production, planting, and processing technologies.
It truly has profound background.
The Pharmaceutical Department of Tuya Hospital has always been engaged in drug development.
Focusing on extracting traditional Chinese medicine, supplemented by traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions.
Don’t underestimate the patriotic sentiment of doctors.
In an era where traditional Chinese medicine is declining, many conscientious individuals feel heartbroken. The Pharmaceutical Department of Tuya Hospital retains a thread of traditional Chinese medicine’s bloodline and heritage to the greatest extent possible.
This is also why hospital leaders pay special attention to the hospital’s pharmacy.
A new sovereign and new ministers.
When a new dean takes office, and if they’re brought in from outside rather than being homegrown, who knows what development strategy the new dean will pursue?
The Pharmaceutical Department belongs to the research department, consuming a considerable amount of funding annually.
If the new dean closes down such a loss-making department, what then?
Or if they pivot away from traditional Chinese medicine research, what happens then?
The hopes and sentiments built over generations would all be dashed.
It’s worth noting that the market share of traditional Chinese medicine domestically is pitifully small.
If the new dean focuses solely on performance, the Pharmaceutical Department will be the first to be cut.
"Vice Director Ye knows that you’re quite wealthy, and the hospital leaders unanimously recognize your high moral conduct. So, they want me to ask if you could fund the acquisition of Tuya Hospital’s Pharmaceutical Department? To establish it as an independent pharmaceutical and sales complex, further promoting our country’s traditional Chinese medicine technology."
This request took Zhou Can by surprise.
To be honest, he’s not interested in starting a company at all.
His greatest joy comes from treating patients, and every time he sees them recover and leave the hospital after treatment, he feels immense satisfaction and pride.
"Vice Director Ye has high hopes for me, but my ambitions don’t lie in that area!"
Zhou Can is unwilling to take on this matter.
If it fails, losing all his wealth would just be a minor issue, but letting down the expectations and efforts of hospital leaders and seniors would make him a historical sinner.
"No need to answer immediately; I’m just passing on Vice Director Ye’s message, letting you know about this, and the leaders’ wishes."
She seemed surprised by Zhou Can’s clear refusal.
He rejected almost without a second thought.
"I’m just not cut out for running a business. If it falls apart, I’ll surely disappoint everyone’s expectations. Please convey to Dean Ye that I’m truly unable to handle this."
Zhou Can once again clearly refuses.
"Alright then, I’ll pass it on. But Vice Director Ye and many senior colleagues at the hospital place a lot of trust in you and are particularly hopeful you’ll take on this responsibility. They’ll probably speak with you again."
Nurse Chief Niu doesn’t press further. She was merely passing on a message, acting as an intermediary.
After leaving her office, Zhou Can put on his white coat and began his rounds.
Jiang Wei was already waiting there punctually.
"Boss, here’s the somatosensory evoked potential test done last night on the child with the high spinal cord injury. The problematic spines are the first pair of spinal nerves."
She had already brought Zhou Can the test results.
She knew this case was one Zhou Can was currently focusing on breaking through.
Zhou Can couldn’t help but be invigorated, checked it over carefully, and then smiled, "Not bad, you were able to easily discern the results of such a test report."
"I’ve spent a few years gaining international experience and received specialized training at the hospital; I should have some skills!"
Jiang Wei replied with a smile.
"That’s true. I heard you’re dating Lin Jinzhi, is that serious?"
Zhou Can asked casually.
"You know about that, huh! I saw Lin Xinuan, that child, quite pitiful, and Lin Jinzhi pursued me actively. Honestly, given my education and capabilities, his director position doesn’t have that much advantage. Right now, I’m just trying to get to know him, overall, it feels pretty good."
She was open and forthright when talking about love.
Unlike many domestic women who shy away, embarrassed about their romantic affairs.
Foreign cultures are relatively open, with shockingly high divorce rates.
Sometimes, for something as trivial as a misaligned toothbrush, they would divorce. They don’t care whether it’s a third or fourth marriage, or even a fourteenth.
As long as you stand out enough, and the two of you are compatible, you can try dating.
There’s another interesting phenomenon. In the domestic setting, if man A kisses the wife of man B right in front of him, man B will immediately fight man A.
But abroad, man A would mostly just be angry; he has no right to interfere with the woman’s private life.
And if they don’t get along, they can just break up directly.
"Since you weren’t looking for a director’s wife status, that’s fine. However, finding a man who’s been divorced and has a child, you’ll definitely need to be mentally prepared. I suggest you be cautious with this. Of course, if you find it acceptable and you and Lin Jinzhi indeed get along well, I think it’s good. Finding an older man could mean better care for you."
Zhou Can spoke to her earnestly.
"Thank you for your concern, Boss. I’ll be careful."
She nodded her head.
The two walked into the inpatient area to start their rounds, stopping at each bed.
Zhou Can focused on the little boy with the high spinal cord injury. The spinal cord definitely had issues, and now with the somatosensory evoked potentials showing the first pair of spinal nerves abnormal, it was a significant breakthrough.
Spinal cord injuries are classified into multiple levels.
The most serious being necrosis.
If that happens, there’s practically no hope.
