Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital-Chapter 374 - 339: Aqueous Molecular Anesthetic Gel_2
She knows what concerns Zhao Heng most. Perhaps if it were other doctors or department heads, their concerns would be about kickbacks or even her as a person.
But Gu Jia knows that Zhao Heng cares about how to reduce the financial burdens for patients.
Gu Jia is aware of Zhao Heng’s collaboration on software development. According to evaluations by company experts, the software Zhao Heng developed with others, named Anesthesia Assistant, isn’t limited to anesthesia; it has many potential applications, making its future very promising.
With the ability to develop such a software, Zhao Heng might soon achieve financial freedom.
"Thank you."
Zhao Heng said to Gu Jia.
As part of the sales team, the company naturally hopes sales will bring more benefits to the company, not apply for discounts, which feels like exploiting the company.
If it weren’t for Gu Jia maintaining all Sino Company’s business at Eastern Hospital, Sino Company certainly wouldn’t approve Gu Jia’s discount applications.
"Using this anesthesia gel, we might expand into a larger market. I’m doing it for the company’s benefit."
Gu Jia smiled and said.
Although she said so, Gu Jia knows the company already has some opinions about her because of several applications for discounts on medical materials fees, but they still treat it as a door opener to maintain orders with Eastern Hospital.
"By the way, have you visited Wang Qiang? Recently, a few of our classmates want to organize a visit to see him."
Pausing, Gu Jia spoke with some regret.
As a class leader, Gu Jia naturally has popularity and organizational skills among her university classmates. However, this plan was not brought up by Gu Jia, but by another female classmate.
"Wang Qiang? Forget it, you guys go ahead."
Zhao Heng thought for a moment and said. Although Wang Qiang chose his own path, they were classmates. Now, Zhao Heng is doing so well while Wang Qiang is living with free food and shelter; Wang Qiang probably wouldn’t want to see Zhao Heng.
"Alright."
Gu Jia nodded, unsurprised.
"I’ll be performing a minor surgery for a patient later, so I won’t be able to accompany you."
Zhao Heng said to Gu Jia.
"I’ll send you the clinical data of patients using the water-based anesthesia gel, and you can give it to Sino Company."
Pausing, Zhao Heng said.
He knows that applying for discounts time and again as a sales representative will surely cause dissatisfaction among the management. So, this clinical trial data is to provide to Gu Jia to finalize things with the management. This way, offering discounts comes with legitimate reasons.
Zhao Heng knows there are countless patients who can’t afford medical expenses or better treatment methods, but this is not a problem Zhao Heng can solve. He can only help those he encounters.
As for other issues, they are societal problems that he won’t trouble himself with.
"Alright then, I won’t disturb you. Next time you have time, I’ll invite you to dinner."
Gu Jia smiled and said decisively.
Looking at the silver metal box on the desk, Zhao Heng said to Li Yang, who was also in the office, "Dr. Li, you can prepare for the patient’s surgery."
The use of the water-based anesthesia gel is not as simple as applying it. This gel needs to be injected around the nerves to achieve long-lasting anesthesia.
The injection around nerves requires precision; if the gel is incorrectly injected into other nerves, such as those controlling bowel movements, it could result in severe side effects like incontinence.
"Alright."
Li Yang nodded.
"Dr. Zhao, Manager Gu is fairly competent as a medical equipment salesperson."
Pausing, Li Yang said with some admiration.
"Which aspect of competency are you referring to?"
Zhao Heng hadn’t spoken before Liu Meng, standing by, looked at Li Yang with a teasing smile and asked.
"Of course, I’m referring to professionalism. Although in sales, professionalism is almost nonexistent, Manager Gu, at least in my view, doesn’t appear too greedy."
Li Yang glanced at Liu Meng and said.
"Even if there’s professionalism, it’s probably consumable, isn’t it?"
Liu Meng continued to tease.
To be honest, Liu Meng naturally doesn’t think too highly of saleswomen like Gu Jia.
Considering she studied hard for years and is working diligently at the hospital, how much does she earn in a month?
But people like Gu Jia, working as sales managers at big pharmaceutical companies, have starting annual salaries in the millions, and all they do is cater to preferences!
"If any of you want to become a medical equipment salesperson, you can go ahead."
Zhao Heng shook his head slightly, knowing Li Yang’s favorable impression of Gu Jia is largely due to her being a beautiful woman with great charisma.
As for Liu Meng’s negative impression of Gu Jia, it’s quite normal.
"Forget it, I can’t do something like that."
Liu Meng said.
"With demand comes the market, and with the market, naturally there are sales. We, as doctors, can’t avoid dealing with these salespeople. Perhaps you haven’t encountered them in emergency rooms before, but you will certainly deal with them in wards later."
"Just keep a calm heart and don’t overthink it."
Zhao Heng said to Liu Meng and Li Yang.
This salespeople trying to please doctors usually doesn’t concern ordinary doctors; only deputy chief physicians or higher ranks need attention.
However, as the ward under Zhao Heng expands and develops, there will definitely be increasing use of high-end medical equipment, which every medical equipment company sees as a major order.
These people may not find Zhao Heng, but approaching Liu Meng and Li Yang would be very easy.
So Zhao Heng wants to give a heads-up to both of them.
"If it’s Manager Gu’s beauty tactic, I suppose it’s a burden I’d be willing to bear."
Li Yang suddenly said.
Liu Meng rolled her eyes at Li Yang after hearing this.
"If you want to take action, go ahead."
Zhao Heng smiled and said to Li Yang.
"Forget it, she’s now a sales manager at Sino, earning a starting salary of millions annually; why would she be interested in doctors like us?"
Li Yang said self-mockingly.
Gu Jia’s gaze never left Zhao Heng since she arrived, and Li Yang noticed this clearly.
Her gaze was so fixated and sticky that anyone could see what Gu Jia thought of Zhao Heng. Zhao Heng is just pretending not to notice, not wanting unnecessary complications like juggling multiple relationships or chaotic sleeping arrangements.
If Zhao Heng was willing, he could have had a harem long ago; he didn’t need to wait until now.
"Good to see you have some self-awareness."
Liu Meng retorted upon hearing Li Yang’s comment.
"Have Tian Zhen prepare the operating room. We should also take a look at this water-based molecular anesthesia gel that’s ready for space."
Seeing Liu Meng teasing Li Yang, Zhao Heng couldn’t help but laugh and said.
"Alright."
Li Yang nodded in relief, seemingly pardoned, and hastily dashed out of the office.
"Dr. Liu, you haven’t even dated Dr. Li yet, and he’s already so afraid of you. If you really dated him, he’d definitely follow your every word."
Zhao Heng suddenly joked to Liu Meng.
"Forget it, with both partners as doctors, what’s the point of that?"
Liu Meng said disdainfully.
She does think Li Yang is fine, but just fine. Two doctors dating feel like being single; marrying feels like not marrying.
"Finding someone outside the medical field might make it even harder for them to understand your work."
Zhao Heng said.
"Forget it, I’m waiting for my promotion to attending physician. Dating and marriage are such trivial things; I’ll put them aside."
Liu Meng said.
She’s definitely one of those purely career-driven women, so she’s speaking sincerely.
