I Can Hear the Heart's Voice of Traditional Chinese Medicine-Chapter 379 - 159: Upgrading Qiu City Street Health Center (Double-Length)_6
Yi Gang shivered and quickly raised his arm, saying, "Here, here, Secretary Jiang, we just couldn’t hear too clearly from the outside, so we didn’t dare to respond."
"Yes, yes, yes."
At this moment, Old Sun also hastily chimed in.
Although Jiang Shengliang was of the same rank as them, and his power might not be greater, he served Ji Huan, the Third-Grade Officials in the Chancellor’s Door, so neither dared to offend Jiang Shengliang.
When the crowd saw the two standing outside, they quickly cleared a path, and the two hurriedly followed the path to Jiang Shengliang.
"Secretary Jiang, I’m Sun Haoyun from Hai District..."
"Yi Gang from Beijiang."
Jiang Shengliang nodded and said, "Both of you, come with me first. Vice Mayor Ji has something to discuss with you."
Upon hearing that Ji Huan wanted to talk to them, the smiles on their faces instantly vanished, and they couldn’t be happy any longer. But with the summons from the person inside, they could only brace themselves and follow Jiang Shengliang into the special ward.
Once inside, both greeted Ji Huan directly, standing nervously to the side, even too scared to introduce themselves.
Jiang Shengliang introduced them one by one to Ji Huan.
Ji Huan nodded slightly, "Sit down, no need to be nervous, I didn’t call you here for anything else."
"Gentlemen, sit as you’re told, standing and talking like this is inconvenient. Should the leader have to keep looking up at you?"
Hearing Jiang Shengliang’s words, the two nervously took their seats, but they sat upright, like students in class, not daring to be unruly.
Seeing them seated, Ji Huan got straight to the point: "Deputy District Head Yi Gang, how much do you know about the Qiu City Street Health Center?"
Ji Huan’s sudden question caught Yi Gang off guard. Although he was in charge of health, his knowledge was mainly about a few major hospitals in the district, and he only knew the name of the Health Center, nothing more.
However, Yi Gang felt increasingly relieved, internally thanking Ma Shanjun for coming to report to him timely. From the information Ma provided, he had learned a bit about the Qiu City Health Center and now conveyed everything he knew.
But Yi Gang was curious, why would someone so significant suddenly inquire about the Health Center?
Why would a person of such stature care about a small Health Center?
Yi Gang was puzzled.
However, Ji Huan didn’t care about what Yi Gang knew or didn’t know and continued to ask, "Deputy District Head Yi Gang, what do you think of the Qiu City Health Center?"
What do I think?
Looking at Ji Huan’s neutral expression, Yi Gang only felt his scalp tingle.
Should I say it’s good or bad?
A leader’s thoughts are hard to predict, and with Ji Huan’s unsmiling demeanor, he had no idea whether he should speak positively or negatively. Saying the right thing might not earn him points, but saying the wrong thing could spell disaster.
For the moment, Yi Gang didn’t know how to respond.
Rather than risking it, he thought it better to stay silent.
Originally, he just hoped to meet Ji Huan, but now Yi Gang wished he could leave immediately. This place was too perilous; it was safer to return to his own domain.
Old Sun, on the other hand, was also trembling.
Although Ji Huan wasn’t questioning him, the implicit tensions in his words made him shudder, secretly feeling anxious for Yi Gang.
Especially when Ji Huan posed that question, Old Sun felt his hands and feet trembling.
Fortunately, Ji Huan also saw that Yi Gang didn’t know much about the Qiu City Street Health Center. Knowing what he just mentioned was already commendable, at least he wasn’t neglecting his health management duties. Other deputies wouldn’t have known much about a Health Center either.
Thinking of this, Ji Huan didn’t further trouble Yi Gang and directly asked, "Do you think the Qiu City Street Health Center has the potential to be upgraded?"
If he still didn’t know how to respond, with the answer so clearly given, then he didn’t deserve his position. Yet he remained calm and composed, considering carefully before saying, "The Traditional Chinese Medicine department at the Qiu City Street Health Center is a highlight, with Dr. Lu there being reportedly very skilled, saving countless lives. With so many patients seeking him every day, based on this, upgrading isn’t impossible."
Despite speaking, Yi Gang’s mind was a mess. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Why would such a prominent figure suddenly mention the Qiu City Street Health Center and discuss upgrading?
That wasn’t the issue; the real question was, Ma Shanjun had brought this up to him in the morning.
And now, Ji Huan raised it again, forcing Yi Gang to think further.
Could it be that Ma Shanjun had really pulled some strings to connect with the higher-ups?
Otherwise, why would someone of such status be concerned about the Qiu City Health Center?
And even consider upgrading it unless someone at the Health Center had close ties with him? Otherwise, given Ji Huan’s status, he wouldn’t specifically inquire about the Health Center.
Old Sun wasn’t aware of Ma Shanjun’s matters, so he didn’t think much, just puzzled.
When Yi Gang mentioned Lu Xuan, Ji Huan seemed pleased: "Since Deputy District Head Yi Gang has such confidence, it seems that upgrading the Qiu City Street Health Center is indeed possible, especially with such a strong Traditional Chinese Medicine department, unexpectedly having such a capable Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor. No wonder it meets the conditions for upgrading."
With all this talk of upgrading, as long as Yi Gang’s mind was clear, he knew what to say.
"Leader, I’ll write a detailed report on upgrading the Qiu City Health Center and report to you. What do you think?" Yi Gang said cautiously.
"Thank you for your hard work," Ji Huan nodded.
"No trouble at all." Yi Gang wore a smile, considering it a great opportunity to report work to this person. Doesn’t that mean there’ll be another chance to be alone together?
How could Yi Gang not be excited?
But he thought more about needing to ask Ma Shanjun afterward, asking him who he contacted because the Qiu City Street Health Center’s issues are known even to this person. And from the implications, it seems like they’ll green-light the upgrade directly!
For Yi Gang, this was not something he could accomplish.
But for Ji Huan, it became just a small issue.
This is the beauty of power.
Sometimes, a leader’s word is more effective than running yourself ragged.
Yi Gang understood this principle deeply.
