Helping others in tis of need or providing additional help when things are already going well might seem similar, but the circumstances are completely different.
Upon hearing this, Shen Congli seed to understand. If Hu iqiao could make such a statent, she figured the person Hu iqiao recomnded must be quite capable. Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to say that in less than half a year, the United South Chinese dicine Association would extend an invitation to the person she's referring to.
Moreover, the key point was the last sentence.
Thinking of this, Shen Congli lowered her voice and said, "What's your relationship with this person?"
"How should I put it, a junior. He is sitting in on consultations in my Health Center's Traditional Chinese dicine departnt and is also considered the head of our Chinese dicine departnt." Hu iqiao disclosed the truth without any hesitation.
"A doctor from the Health Center?"
Shen Congli was visibly surprised. She had thought of many possibilities, but this one never crossed her mind.
"What's wrong with a doctor from the Health Center?"
"Old classmate, even though you are not a doctor anymore and have gone to the health bureau, don't forget, the Health Center has indeed nurtured so excellent doctors, but they just couldn't retain them."
At this point, Hu iqiao laughed mockingly, "As soon as there's an outstanding doctor in the Health Center, those big hospitals sniff them out like dogs and lure them away with various offers. Given the conditions at the Health Center, how many can resist the temptation of a big hospital? So they all end up leaving."
Upon hearing this, Shen Congli was silent.
What Hu iqiao said was indeed true. The Health Center had indeed produced many capable doctors, but as soon as they showed so promise, they were poached by big hospitals.
"I won't lant about these things with you. What do you think? Will you help with this favor or not?"
Hu iqiao said, "The person I introduced has no problem with dical skills. You can rest assured about that. Nowadays, the number of daily registrations at our Health Center's Chinese dicine departnt is nearly a hundred, and it's only because there's just Dr. Lu. Otherwise, there would be even more, and his appointnts are fully booked for not just this week, but next week too, no worse than those at the United South Chinese dicine Association."
"Around a hundred registrations in a day?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Congli was extrely surprised as well.
In her impression, the only departnt in the Health Center that could have that many registrations was the Child Care departnt. But that's not for treating illnesses; it's for children's checkups. If children get sick, almost 100% of parents would take them to the Won and Children's Hospital, not to the Health Center.
There might be so exceptions, but very few.
And at the Health Center, it's mostly just the Child Care and Elderly Health Checkups.
Other departnts are lucky to have three or four patients a day.
If not for knowing Hu iqiao well, upon hearing her claim of a hundred registrations at the Health Center's Chinese dicine departnt, which are even hard to get, Shen Congli would've thought her old classmate was deceiving her.
"iqiao, are you sure what you're saying is true?" Shen Congli asked.
"Old classmate, would I really deceive you about this?"
Shen Congli took a deep breath, "Since you say so, I'll agree to it, but I'll be upfront with you. I still need to personally understand the situation. I'll get back to you within this week, alright?"
"Alright, I await your good news."
Hu iqiao breathed a sigh of relief, feeling settled about this matter.
As for Shen Congli wanting to understand the situation, Hu iqiao wasn't worried. She was confident in Lu Xuan's abilities.
As long as they could get an opportunity for Lu Xuan to sit in on consultations at the United South Chinese dicine Association, the matter would be halfway complete. The rest would depend on her own abilities.
Hearing the breathing sounds in her ear, Shen Congli couldn't help but remind, "iqiao, to be honest, I don't quite understand why you're doing this. The more famous Dr. Lu becos, isn't there a higher chance he'll be poached by big hospitals?
Once he joins the United South, maybe no one will know his situation at first, but it won't take long before his fa spreads throughout Yong City because of sitting in consultations there. By then, you could end up with nothing."
Hu iqiao just smiled, filled with confidence, "To keep a talented doctor, you have to pay a price. Giving Dr. Lu a chance to sit in consultations at United South is only to give him a bigger stage to showcase his skills. Whether he can truly be retained depends on whether another matter turns out successful."
"Oh?"
Shen Congli's curiosity grew. Since her old classmate went to the Health Center, she hadn't shown much passion. But now, hearing this, it seed like she was gearing up for so intense effort!
"What's your plan?"
Hu iqiao pondered aloud, "You know there's another building behind the Health Center, right?"
Shen Congli knew about this and nodded, "Yes, I know. That building hasn't been used because your Health Center only has a limited staff, and the district health bureau doesn't allow it. Why?"
"What do you think about making it Dr. Lu's clinic?"
