Chapter 83: Why?
Outside the President’s Office, Director Tang Zhongqi’s forehead was deeply furrowed, and he looked at Director Lin Qianlong with confusion.
His tone was low, “Director Lin, is this necessary? Who is this Lu Cheng?”
Director Tang Zhongqi really couldn’t think of a specific reason why Director Lin Qianlong would bring such a trivial matter to the President.
Du Gaofeng took the blame; he was also verbally warned, and it was unlikely he would get a promotion in the next two years.
Director Lin Qianlong looked at Director Tang Zhongqi and said, “Director Tang, Lu Cheng is a backbone of our Emergency Department, a pioneer. He single-handedly handles surgeries that the General Surgery and Orthopedics departments cannot perform. He is an innovator of new surgical procedures in our hospital!”
“He was the first to successfully complete a spleen preservation surgery in our hospital and the first to perform a very complete suturing of multiple tendon ruptures!”
“What do you want? Do you want my life?”
Director Tang Zhongqi was stunned, “Wasn’t this Lu Cheng from Orthopedics before? Didn’t he just go to your Emergency Department?”
He still remembered Lu Cheng because he processed Lu Cheng’s application for a transfer to the Emergency Department, and Lu Cheng’s first degree had left a deep impression on him.
A bachelor’s degree from Hanshi University was considered the best among the first degrees in the entire hospital.
“He is now in our Emergency Department, and he shoulders thirty percent of our department’s surgeries.”
“What do you, Tang Zhongqi, want? You tell me! Do you want to clear a path, or does someone else want to do something?” Director Lin Qianlong pointed at Director Tang Zhongqi and asked.
His pockmarked face was chillingly stern, and his chest heaved with anger.
Director Tang Zhongqi knew that Director Lin Qianlong also understood the whole situation, but Director Lin Qianlong chose not to expose everything and just wanted to resolve the issue without digging into the details.
“Director Lin, it was my mistake. I just remembered this matter temporarily, and I heard that Lu Cheng was performing manual reduction in the Emergency Department. To avoid any problems or lawsuits, I asked Du Gaofeng to relay the message to Doctor Lu Cheng.”
“Director Lin, you also know that the intricacies of manual reduction are very complex, and different fractures require different manual reduction techniques. Strictly speaking, manual reduction surgery falls within the scope of operations for Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics…” Director Tang Zhongqi was still explaining.
Director Lin Qianlong rolled his eyes, “Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospitals can perform modern medical surgeries for fractures, so can’t our People’s Hospital perform manual reduction using Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques?”
“Who made that rule?”
“Director Tang, have you forgotten what kind of hospital we are? Our Long County People’s Hospital doesn’t have many patients to begin with.”
“For those who are opening up new territory to be shot at from behind will chill their hearts…”
“And don’t forget, President Peng strongly supports our hospital’s doctors in continuously learning new surgical procedures and expanding new business.”
“The main task of our County Health Bureau is to continuously improve our county hospital’s service system. This is genuine performance. You are causing trouble here, are you crazy…”
The county’s medical and health development strategy is essentially about continuously improving the treatment capabilities for various diseases, which is a core performance metric for almost all county hospitals.
The first case of a certain surgical procedure in the county, the first chief surgeon of a certain surgery, and the first treatment of a certain disease are all worth reporting.
The core performance metrics of leaders at higher levels are also demonstrated through these.
It’s just that most people have limited self-learning abilities, are content with the status quo, and dare not take responsibility, so they just go through the motions.
But if you encounter someone who can bring such political achievements, and you intend to move against him, you should think carefully about whether it will affect the future prospects of others…
Director Tang Zhongqi’s face fell, and he nodded, “Director Lin, it was my oversight; my work was not meticulous enough, and I didn’t understand our hospital’s staff well enough.”
Director Tang Zhongqi sighed, “If I had known Doctor Lu was such a skilled practitioner, I, Tang Zhongqi, would have been crazy to do that.”
Director Lin Qianlong also explained, “If I chopped off your hands, would you guarantee you wouldn’t hold me accountable? When you agree to that, I can kneel and apologize to you.”
“Otherwise, I apologize for offending you this time, Director Tang!”
“If you have any more questions about this matter, you can come at me!” Director Lin Qianlong clasped his hands, bowed, and formally expressed his attitude.
Lu Cheng’s development was not only related to himself but also to the Emergency Department and Director Lin Qianlong himself.
In the absence of significant achievements, everyone competes based on personal connections. However, with significant achievements, anyone who blocks the path will ‘die’!
Cutting off someone’s financial source is like killing their parents, and cutting off someone’s future prospects is like digging up their ancestral graves.
Director Tang Zhongqi had no choice but to grudgingly accept the loss, but he was the “victim” and still had to find a way to appease Du Gaofeng, who was demoted because of him. This situation was truly unsavory.
No one pursued why Director Tang Zhongqi canceled Lu Cheng’s surgical permissions; it wasn’t important. What was important was that Director Tang Zhongqi had given the order, and he had the authority to do so and had used it.
You, Tang Zhongqi, are an adult and a leader. If you can’t even decide whether to give an order, you should step down and be done with it.
…
Upon returning to the Emergency Department, Director Lin Qianlong immediately went to the Director’s Office, washed his hair with the faucet, and then began styling his hair with a hairdryer.
Knowing that Director Lin Qianlong had returned and happened to be on ward duty, Zhang Tiesheng immediately slipped in, “How was it? Director Lin, are you okay?”
“I’m fine. Du Gaofeng from the on-duty supervisor’s office went to the archives, and Tang Zhongqi received a verbal warning from the hospital!”
“If they hadn’t provoked Lu Cheng, I wouldn’t have been so aggressive…”
Zhang Tiesheng chuckled, adjusted his glasses, and didn’t blame Director Lin Qianlong for cherishing Lu Cheng so much, “Director Lin, daring to touch the ‘top seller’ of our department, killing them wouldn’t be excessive.”
“To be realistic, twenty percent of last month’s performance bonuses came from Xiao Lu,” Zhang Tiesheng grinned.
“Besides, Lu Cheng has already reached a certain level of skill in spleen preservation and gallbladder preservation surgeries. Then, based on splenectomy and cholecystectomy, we can gradually develop new surgeries.”
“This learning cycle can be very long.”
“Director Tang Zhongqi is really ridiculous.”
Director Lin Qianlong looked at Zhang Tiesheng and suddenly said, “Zhang Tiesheng, we don’t need to be too realistic; there should still be some human touch.”
Zhang Tiesheng looked up, “Lu Cheng is my sworn brother; our friendship is very strong.”
“Director Lin, matters of affection require an opportunity, perhaps a fleeting glance or falling in love at first sight, and then the subsequent story unfolds…”
“Xiao Lu is also a straightforward person!”
Zhang Tiesheng also replied tactfully.
This meant that Lu Cheng had already shown his valuable side, being a confidant to Zhang Tiesheng, and their bond was genuine!
Although friendships are cultivated through interaction, an opportunity is still needed.
For example, with several others like Du Daihua, Han Xiaoping, and Tian Zhuang, Zhang Tiesheng also had some relationship with them, but it was limited to acquaintance.
In other words, what you consider a slow-to-warm-up goddess might be someone others carelessly dismiss.
