Chapter 1544: Chapter 625: Old Hands Wreak Havoc, Promotion to Attending Physician (Part 2)
“Who are you?”
The girl asked warily.
“The person who can help you get leave.”
Zhou Can flashed a smile.
“But you must give me a proper and legitimate reason. Is your mother sick?”
“Why should I trust you?”
The girl remained highly vigilant.
“It’s simple. Just clarify the reason for your leave. If I think it’s just and reasonable, I can help you achieve it. You won’t need to make any ‘reports’ to Director Huang at night then.”
Zhou Can remained calm and posed.
“Even if I really can’t help you, telling me the reason for your leave wouldn’t cause you any loss. If you still don’t agree, then I can’t do anything.”
After saying this, Zhou Can turned and walked away.
This strategy of luring the enemy into a trap indeed worked effectively.
“Wait! I can tell you.”
Although she didn’t know Zhou Can’s identity, instinctively, she felt this young man with a nice smile didn’t seem like a bad person.
As long as she stayed alert, she wouldn’t fall for any tricks.
If Zhou Can asked her for money, she would directly refuse.
“Let’s talk over there! It involves your family privacy, so it’s less likely to be overheard.”
Zhou Can pointed to the end of the corridor.
“Okay!”
She nodded and agreed happily.
The two walked to the end of the corridor and looked out the window, catching a glimpse of part of the Tuya Medical College campus.
Zhou Can had studied here for five years and really missed it!
Now, in the blink of an eye, he had already worked at Tuya Hospital for several years.
His status had also rapidly grown, and I’ve heard that many juniors now regard him as a role model.
“I’m the only daughter in my family. My dad unfortunately got injured at a construction site early on, leaving him with a lifelong disability. His right leg was amputated, and he can only get around with a crutch. A couple of days ago, my family called to say that my mom fell ill, and it was serious. They asked me to e back to see her when I have time. This morning, I heard that my mother fainted, and I got really anxious. But Director Huang refused to approve my leave.”
As she spoke, she turned her head to gently wipe away her tears.
“Is everything you’re saying true?”
“Yes!”
She bit her lip and nodded vigorously.
“What’s your name?”
“Cheng Xiaolu.”
“If you get the leave, what do you plan to do once you get home? By the way, where is your home?”
When asked about her home address, the girl hesitated for a moment before saying, “My home is in a small village in Huofeng County. My parents worked hard to put me through college, to nurture me. Now, I can’t stay by their side to fulfill my filial duties…”
Speaking of this, her eyes reddened again.
She turned her head once more to secretly wipe away her tears.
Zhou Can deeply understood the struggles of these rural children. Many young people pursue their dreams with passion, studying hard and then staying in big cities to work and earn money.
Sometimes, they can’t properly take care of their families—not because they don’t want to, but because reality is harsh, making it impossible to have everything.
If they care for their family, they might lose their job.
“Alright, you can go back to work now! Oh, by the way, if it’s convenient, could you give me your phone number? It will save me the trouble of looking it up.”
Upon hearing the entire story, Zhou Can had already decided to help the girl.
He was now the real boss of the pharmaceutical department and had life-and-death power over everyone.
Yet, he didn’t immediately rush into the office to give Director Huang a piece of his mind and then fire him.
The leadership experience over the past two years made him learn to stay calm while handling matters.
Dealing with Director Huang was one thing, but there are still plenty of other ‘Director Huang’-type people hidden within the department. If these bad apples aren’t all dealt with, the pharmaceutical department can’t hope for good development.
The girl deliberated for a good seven or eight seconds, but eventually, she gave Zhou Can her mobile number.
“Who are you really? Can you truly help me?”
She was full of suspicion about Zhou Can’s identity.
“Just go back and work with peace of mind. By the way, do you plan to bring your mom to the provincial capital for treatment or what?”
“I’m not sure about the situation right now. However, I feel like my mom’s illness isn’t minor, and if it can’t be treated at the county level, we’ll definitely have to go to the provincial capital.”
“Hmm… how about this, if you face any difficulties, just go to the Emergency Department at Tuya Hospital and find a doctor with the last name Zhou. He will try his best to help you.”
Having said that, Zhou Can didn’t stop again and continued patrolling the pharmaceutical department.
After a round of tours, many situations were simply shocking.
The pharmaceutical department had numerous issues.
Especially the management staff—they were of varied quality, and their petence was troubling.
Upon returning to the Emergency Department, he directly decided to hire more people.
Once the news that Han Hun Pharmaceutical pany was recruiting two vice presidents and eight department managers got out, applicants flooded in. Many were highly educated individuals who had spent a few years honing their skills after entering society.
These people’s resumes showed that they had worked for small enterprises or panies, hardly ever entering well-established large factories.
This was far from Zhou Can’s recruitment goals.
The current management personnel in the pharmaceutical department mainly consisted of two types: those who got promoted from technical positions. These people were only suitable for managing technology, leading teams in research and development.
Just like clinical doctors acting as research group leaders, operating room group leaders, or discipline leaders in certain treatment areas of a department, etc.
The second type prised those with connections or those directly transferred from administrative positions.
The pharmaceutical department used to be under the management of Tuya Hospital. These old hands in the administrative roles were living fortably, bossing and yelling at others, showing off their minor power in front of scientific researchers and technicians, creating unnecessary difficulties.
This group was no less than a burden for the pharmaceutical department.
Zhou Can recruited management personnel with the intention of firmly taking control first and then eliminating these old troublemakers.
For Han Hun Pharmaceutical pany to turn losses into profits and continuously develop new drugs, genuinely advancing the cause of traditional Chinese medicine, a group of petent management talents was essential.
In any pany, management personnel are paid the highest salaries.
Except for those who make monumental contributions to the pany, who might earn more than they do.
This underscores the importance of management staff.
As for that girl named Cheng Xiaolu, Zhou Can had already put in a word for her to get leave directly approved.
Wasn’t Director Huang giving her trouble?
No problem, Zhou Can directly spoke to Director Huang’s superior.
A rank higher in office can be deadly, enough to prevent Huang from holding this over her anymore.
Truth be told, scum like Director Huang deserves to be punished.
Someone’s father is disabled, and their mother is seriously ill, requiring her to take leave and return home to care for them, which is human nature. It also shows her filial piety.
For this family, having someone fall seriously ill is already unfortunate.
Yet Director Huang not only lacked any passion, but he also sought to take advantage. Using the leave issue, he intended to exploit her body—what is that if not worse than a beast?
This matter soon passed.
Zhou Can continued to be busy every day in the Emergency Department, Pediatrics, Cardiothoracic Surgery, and other departments.
His appointment letter for attending physician also arrived as scheduled.
For other doctors, the long-awaited attending physician employment contract came easily for him.
Holding the attending physician’s appointment letter, he felt quite happy inside.
His contemporaries like Du Leng and Gao Jian entered the hospital workforce at the same time as him and had already successfully advanced to attending positions. They were now striving for the deputy senior titles.
Zhou Can hurried and finally stepped into the attending ranks too.
Although his medical skills had already reached the level of an associate chief physician and he was striving toward a higher level, the title still mattered. It was a form of professional grade certification granted by the state.
Previously, as a resident doctor, he needed the name of a senior doctor when performing clinical medical work, especially for surgeries above Level 2.
Now as an attending physician, it meant he could rightfully lead Level 1 and Level 2 surgeries and participate in the major parts of Level 3 surgeries with senior doctors.
This was a huge advancement.
Additionally, after being promoted to attending physician, the benefits and work content would also change to some extent.
For instance, teaching—many excellent doctors began their journey after getting the attending physician title.
“Director Zhou, there’s a girl outside who says she wants to see you.”
A nurse peeked in and addressed Zhou Can inside the office.
“Where is she?”
“She’s over at the triage desk.”
“Okay, I’ll go take a look.”
Zhou Can carefully put away the attending appointment letter, intending to take it home for safekeeping later. Receiving this letter before marriage made him feel very pleased.
