Chapter 34: dical license exam and hospital recruitnt exam
Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu
Why had Zou Pingshan fallen into all those pitfalls? It wasn’t because Batu was more skilled than he was, nor was it because of Shi Lei’s sches. It was because Zou Pingshan wasn’t professional enough. He had been too arrogant.
Batu had slowly risen step-by-step from a lowly rural doctor to the superintendent of Kuake City Hospital. Shi Lei had worked in Kuake City Hospital ever since young. Batu was more skilled at managing the hospital, while Shi Lei was more familiar with the hospital and local environnt.
Zou Pingshan was confident because of his connections and because he was an internal dicine specialist. His actions had been rather hasty. That was why he suffered and fell into pitfalls. Managing an entire hospital was quite different from managing a single departnt.
Zhang Fan didn’t try to do anything to Zou Pingshan when he returned, as he felt it would be aningless. Zhang Fan and the others would all be going to Chasu City in one week for the written portion of the dical license examination. However, Zhang Fan no longer had a car—the previous Toyota Cruiser Prado had been taken away during Batu’s arrest.
The exam was held at a high school. Chen Qifa was incredibly nervous. Before, he no longer held any hope for passing, so he didn’t really care. However, this year was different. Thanks to an entire month of high-pressure studying under Zhang Fan’s tutelage, he felt hope that he could pass this year, which was why he was so nervous. Chen Qifa kept following Zhang Fan everywhere and repeating the sa phrases: “Do you think the test questions will be difficult this year? Do you think I’ll pass?”
Zhang Fan really empathized with and kept assuaging Chen Qifa’s worries. “Old Chen, you’ll definitely be fine. Relax and don’t rush when answering the test questions. You’ll definitely pass this year.”
The exam finally began. On the first test day’s morning, everyone was tested on the basics. This was quite simple for Zhang Fan. After an entire year of studying through his System, his basics were quite solid. In the afternoon was internal dicine, which was also quite simple for Zhang Fan. The second test day’s morning was an exam on surgery, which Zhang Fan got almost full marks on. The afternoon’s gynecology exam was slightly more difficult, but Zhang Fan also did well.
“I passed this year, I passed this year!” After the exam, Chen Qifa pulled on Zhang Fan’s arm while crying like a baby. He could finally vent his frustrations from failing the dical license exam for several decades already.
“You’ll pass, you’ll definitely pass. We’ll both have dical licenses from now on.” Zhang Fan truly sympathized with Chen Qifa. Seeing Chen Qifa reminded him of how difficult it was to look for work right after graduation.
Li Liang and Li Hui were also confident about their exam results. Wang Sha had previously failed the practical skills exam, so she had been unable to join the written examination. After the four of them t up, Chen Qifa stated, “I’m treating everyone to a good al tonight. Nobody will say so otherwise. I need to properly thank Teacher Zhang.” So, the four of them went together to a restaurant.
Since Chen Qifa had higher base salary than any of them, nobody else felt any pressure from having him pay for a al. During the al, Li Hui asked, “Director Zhang, the exam is now over. It’s certain that you will pass. Where will you go in the future? Don’t say that you’ll remain at a tiny hospital like Kuake City Hospital, otherwise I’ll hit you with my bowl.”
“Although the exam is now over, the exam results won’t co out until December, and I won’t obtain my dical license until next year. I can’t imdiately resign, so I’m going to see if any of the bigger cities are going to hold hospital recruitnt exams. If there are any recruitnt exams, I’ll go sign up. If not, I’ll see when next year begins. How about you guys?”
“Sa, I have the exact sa idea. Wang Sha and I will go take any recruitnt exams available. Working at a tiny hospital like Kuake City Hospital won’t improve our future one bit,” Li Hui stated.
“Mr. Zhang, I’ll sign up for the sa place that you take your recruitnt exams at. You have to take with you!” Li Liang was very direct.
“Bro, you overestimate my skills.”
“It’s nice to be so young. All of you should go to bigger cities. If you stay in a tiny city like Kuake City, all of you will beco just like twenty years in the future.” Chen Qifa no longer had the energy to move to another city.
Zhang Fan needed to level up his System, which ant he needed to go to a bigger hospital. Kuake City Hospital was far too tiny. However, it would be unrealistic for him to change cities until he obtained his dical license. His younger sister would be in her third year of high school soon. Zhang Fan had to have a steady inco every month for the sake of his sister’s expenses, otherwise she would be in financial trouble.
Ever since the previous dical incident at Kuake City Hospital, Zou Pingshan was no longer so arrogant like before. Since he was about fifty years old, he was afraid of losing his job. The doctors in Kuake City Hospital’s surgical departnt #2 seed too crazy for him to deal with. Thus, he left Shi Lei in charge of the surgical departnt and Director Li of internal dicine in charge of the internal dicine departnt. Zou Pingshan now only dealt with matters related to the entire hospital.
Shi Lei was quite devious. He was quite happy to be put in charge of the surgical departnt. It ant that he was fully in charge of purchasing dicine as well as equipnt for the surgical departnt. At any rate, he had fully started taking advantage of his new position to make more illicit money for himself.
Shi Lei had learned quite a lot from Batu’s managent style. In order to fully control the surgical departnt, Shi Lei first made sure he had a good relationship with those who could actually do the work. Chen Qifa was a miser, so all Shi Lei had to do was give him a little extra overti pay, and Chen Qifa started running faster than a dog would for Shi Lei’s errands.
Shi Lei would invest more into Zhang Fan as the latter was both talented and had connections with higher-ups in bigger cities. Shi Lei would also invest more into those in surgical departnt #1. However, he directly ignored Nuar and Tu Xun as neither of those ever did any work. Why would he care about spending money on them?
anwhile, Batu’s arrest case hadn’t been resolved yet. Batu had long been prepared beforehand for things to go wrong. His son was a citizen of H Country, and right when Batu learned that he couldn’t beco the new Director of the Bureau of Public Health, he had imdiately sent his son to H Country.
Batu didn’t have very many assets in his na. Although he confessed to taking illicit kickbacks for the recent CT scanner purchase, he refused to admit to doing anything else. Kuake City Hospital had been expanding through construction for many years already, and all the connected individuals had already retired or vanished. The Communist Party Committee wanted to find higher-ranked individuals who could be implicated in corruption, but Batu refused to say anything. The Committee was unable to find any concrete evidence of corruption apart from the CT scanner incident.
The previous hospital protests by the angry patient’s family didn’t affect the hospital employees too much, as they were all used to such protests. However, the protests greatly affected Zou Pingshan. Not only did he beco less arrogant, he even beca sowhat cowardly.
He would need to stay here in his new position of hospital superintendent until retirent. If sothing happened to his job before retirent, he would no longer be able to support himself. Zou Pingshan’s insomnia beca even more severe as a result. He often woke up with nightmares in the middle of the night, thinking that his cell phone was ringing with another report of so hospital ergency.
Vice Superintendent Shi Lei was incredibly delighted. He passed a proposal that increased the salary of all the doctors and nurses at Kuake City Hospital, and even added so food money for those working the night shift. Everyone in the hospital had a great opinion of him because of this. Also, just like Batu, Shi Lei knew that he didn’t have enough professional knowledge in other dical fields, so he left the other dical fields to doctors of those specialties to run.
Director Nuar’s retirent resignation was approved, and Shi Lei beca the director of surgical departnt #2 in addition to being the vice superintendent. Tu Xun was unwilling to take the job, and Shi Lei was also unwilling to allow Tu Xun to take the job. Chen Qifa should have been the best candidate for the position, but he was unqualified due to not having a dical license.
Shi Lei secretly promised Chen Qifa that as long as the latter obtained a dical license, he would give the director position to him. Shi Lei knew quite well that he would be unable to keep Zhang Fan here at a tiny hospital, so it was fine to simply keep a good personal relationship with Zhang Fan.
In October, the border province organized a large round of hospital recruitnt exams. Although Zhang Fan and his group of recent college graduates had co here due to the governnt’s program to support the rural west, they didn’t actually have official positions at the hospital. anwhile, Li Liang and Yang Chengming indeed had official positions at the hospital.
The hospital recruitnt exams were intentionally held after the dical license exams so that more people could obtain official positions. Gao Shijun imdiately phoned Zhang Fan right when signups began. “You shouldn’t stay any longer at such a tiny hospital. I’ve already arranged a job position just for you in my departnt at Chasu City Hospital. You’ll imdiately start working at the orthopedic surgery departnt in traumatic injuries. This job position is customized for your sake.” Gao Shijun had spent quite a bit of effort in getting Zhang Fan to join his team.
Gao Shijun’s orthopedic departnt was hiring, and he was in charge of setting the recruitnt requirents for the hospital. The hospital would then report the requirents to the Bureau of Public Health, and anyone who t the requirents could apply for the job. However, the conditions that Gao Shijun set as job requirents would be highly difficult for anyone other than Zhang Fan to et.
The job requirents were as followed: first, graduation from a top-level dical school. Second, male and unmarried. Third, five months or more of studying at a Grade 3 provincial hospital in the surgical departnt. Fourth, participation in the governnt’s support program for improving dical quality in the west. These requirents would be highly difficult to et simultaneously. Not only that, Gao Shijun’s surgical departnt was hiring only one person.
Gao Shijun was worried that sobody else with connections would obtain the position over Zhang Fan, which was why he set such strict requirents. No matter how powerful soone’s connections were, they wouldn’t be able to apply if they didn’t et the job requirents!
The director of the orthopedic surgery departnt at Chasu City Hospital had recently retired. After several rounds of competition, Gao Shijun had now beco the acting director in charge of everything in the departnt. He had his own ideas. Although he had several disciples, none of his disciples were skilled enough yet to do things on their own. Gao Shijun wanted to raise a skilled disciple to beco his equal and help him in the departnt.
