I Can Hear the Heart's Voice of Traditional Chinese Medicine-Chapter 382 - 160: Is Lu Xuan Ji Huan’s Savior? (3)
Previously, when Ma Shanjun mentioned how impressive Lu Xuan was, Yi Gang didn’t say much to save face for his subordinates, but now it seems everything Ma Shanjun said was completely true.
To have the entire City First Hospital, and even invited experts, helpless, yet Lu Xuan managed to cure the situation. Is there any reason to doubt this ability?
"I understand now too."
Old Sun said with a somewhat wry smile.
Just now, he was wondering why someone suddenly spoke to him about the United South Chinese Medicine Association. Now he finally understood; it was to tell him that Dr. Lu, who practiced at the United South Chinese Medicine Association, was his lifesaver.
Yi Gang and Old Sun exchanged glances, then Yi Gang turned to Jiang Shengliang and said, "Secretary Jiang, since they want to do something for Dr. Lu, wouldn’t it be better to directly transfer Dr. Lu to the District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine or even the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital? There’s no need to upgrade the Health Center!"
From Ma Shanjun’s perspective, upgrading the Health Center is better.
But if it’s to help Lu Xuan, wouldn’t a direct transfer to a bigger hospital be faster?
It would avoid a lot of hassle.
Yi Gang couldn’t understand this point.
Jiang Shengliang just smiled, "Who knows what they are thinking. Anyway, Mr. Yi should handle this properly. Think carefully about how to write it, how to upgrade the Health Center, and give them a satisfying response."
"I would take this seriously even without Secretary Jiang’s reminder."
Yi Gang nodded and then said, "I just don’t quite understand the point I mentioned earlier. I didn’t expect that Secretary Jiang also didn’t know."
"Mr. Yi, don’t try to probe. I really don’t know." Although Jiang Shengliang didn’t have substantial power, as Ji Huan’s secretary, his knowledge surpassed Yi Gang’s. He knew Yi Gang was trying to test him, so he spoke frankly, simultaneously doing Yi Gang a favor and preventing him from misunderstanding that he was unwilling to elaborate.
Seeing that Jiang Shengliang truly didn’t know, Yi Gang could only sigh helplessly, "Alright, I’ll think about it carefully later and ask Secretary Jiang to review it for me first; otherwise, I wouldn’t dare show it to them directly."
"Mr. Yi, you’re joking," Jiang Shengliang replied politely.
Yi Gang, however, looked serious, "Secretary Jiang follows them closely and knows them better than we do. I don’t want to inadvertently cause trouble for them, so please help me with this."
Jiang Shengliang declined a couple of times but eventually agreed.
Old Sun’s situation was similar to Yi Gang’s, though somewhat simpler. However, he used the same rhetoric, hoping Jiang Shengliang would review it for him.
Having agreed to Yi Gang, Jiang Shengliang obviously couldn’t refuse Old Sun and agreed directly.
The three chatted briefly before Jiang Shengliang, needing to attend to the leader, returned to the special ward. Knowing Jiang Shengliang was busy, Yi Gang and Old Sun didn’t keep him. Once Jiang Shengliang was in the special ward, the two exchanged glances, both with smiles on their faces.
Old Sun chuckled, "I was just worried for you, thinking things were getting serious, but it turned out not only was danger averted, you also stumbled onto a huge opportunity. Your luck is incredible."
"I didn’t expect it either. I was nearly scared to death, terrified of saying even half a wrong word. I thought my life would be over," Yi Gang said, still relieved.
Old Sun nodded, "Indeed, there was no expression on their face before, no way to tell what they were thinking. It was all guessing. Fortunately, you were smart and didn’t speak recklessly; choosing wrong would have been disastrous."
"That’s what I thought back then. Better not to choose than to choose wrongly. Who knows what they’re thinking?"
"I didn’t expect that the person who saved them was a doctor from the Health Center," Old Sun sighed, and then said, "However, since Dr. Lu got invited by the United South Chinese Medicine Association, it proves he’s not just at the Health Center level. Why he went there, I’m not sure. Old Yi, I think you should find out later. They should know, but since there’s no hint, even if you find out, don’t act on it without instruction. If they have an idea, they’ll probably let you know. Better to stay put until then."
Yi Gang nodded, "Alright, I’ll find out later."
"Initially, I thought the Health Center upgrade was arranged by the old subordinate, but it turned out it had nothing to do with them."
"Oh, how so?"
Old Sun asked curiously.
Yi Gang chuckled and briefly explained the report Ma Shanjun made to him in the morning, making Old Sun suddenly realize, "No wonder you know about the Qiu City Health Center. I was wondering, given your position, how you could know so much about a Health Center, unlike our United South Chinese Medicine Association here in Yong City, which, aside from not having inpatient services, is as good as any Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, if not better. After all, we invite highly skilled practitioners, which no Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital can compare to."
Yi Gang didn’t argue since it was the truth.
If it were a major hospital within the district, he’s frequently involved and aware to some extent, but the Health Center is someplace he barely visits once in a year or two, so how could he understand it?
"However, with such incredible luck, if you get promoted, don’t forget to treat me to a meal," Old Sun laughed.
"There’s still nothing confirmed yet. Just a bit of contact. It’s too early to talk about this," Yi Gang said, rather speechless.
He didn’t think a connection with Ji Huan would mean much for him.
After all, Ji Huan reached out entirely for Lu Xuan, not for Yi Gang at all!
Promoted?
If not done well, being dismissed is more likely.
Yi Gang dared not entertain too many thoughts, but having this opportunity to report to Ji Huan was indeed a great thing for him, likely to help his career considerably.
Moreover, if Ji Huan’s tasks were accomplished well this time, it would indeed be a major opportunity.
Thinking of this, Yi Gang couldn’t wait to return to the district and discuss this with Ma Shanjun, so he bid farewell to Old Sun, "Old Sun, I won’t say more. I need to find Ma Shanjun and discuss the upgrade of the Health Center in detail."
"Okay, I’m also planning to visit the United South Chinese Medicine Association for some research soon."
The two quickly aligned and then hurriedly left City First Hospital.
Meanwhile, on another side. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Returning from the district, Ma Shanjun was quite troubled. The matter remained unresolved, leaving him uncomfortable. After much thought, he decided not to drag it out and reluctantly dialed Hu Meiqiao’s number.
