Although Xu Chunliang never studied Western medicine before, he has been at the hospital for a while and has some understanding of certain medications. The generic name for Ailida is Vardenafil Hydrochloride, which has an erectile enhancing effect. Zhou Wenbin hid it well, as he never knew Zhou was so passionate about life. From looking at Old Zhou's complexion, he clearly has some deficiency in Qi and blood. Using Western medicine to enhance erectile function only treats the symptoms and not the root cause. For a thorough improvement, traditional Chinese medicine is required.
To diffuse the awkwardness, Zhou Wenbin hurriedly changed the subject: "Xiaoxu, go ahead and get busy. I'll finish tidying up soon, and once I'm done, you can move over." He has a high regard for Xu Chunliang's abilities. Since he's leaving anyway, he might as well do him a favor. His office spot is the best in the medical affairs department.
Xu Chunliang nodded. Seeing him there made Zhou Wenbin uncomfortable, and just then someone from the personnel department came to call him over.
Personnel Director Ma Hongmei had called him over to inform him of some personnel changes. The hospital leadership considered the medical affairs department to be quite busy, so they added two new staff members. One is named Yang Zhen Gang, a 32-year-old former chief technician from the radiology department, known hospital-wide as a troublemaker, having had conflicts with almost all colleagues in radiology.
Two months ago, after being complained about by a patient, he was suspended, and the radiology department handed him over to the personnel department with claims of unwillingness to accept him back. Yang Zhen Gang also did not want to return to radiology work, and through his connections, the hospital assigned him to the medical affairs department.
The other is Huang Lide, a 43-year-old attending doctor from the orthopedics department, who applied for the associate senior title three times without success, watching as juniors surpassed him in the department. Knowing he had no future by staying, and mainly because of his lack of surgical skills, he was ostracized in the department. Rather than linger at the bottom in orthopedics, he decided to seek opportunities elsewhere.
Xu Chunliang immediately knew these two were connected through relationships and had a clear motive coming to the medical affairs department, probably eyeing the director position since it hasn't been filled yet.
Xu Chunliang had a clear understanding of his current situation. Gao Xinhua analyzed it for him as well, pointing out that although the hospital let him temporarily take charge of the medical affairs department, it didn't necessarily mean he would become the director, given his youth and less than six months at the job. Even if Zhao Feiyang was bold, he wouldn't place him in such an important position without a more suitable candidate, and Xu Chunliang would have to step aside.
When the personnel department said they were seeking Xu Chunliang's opinion, it was actually to inform him. Even if Xu Chunliang opposed, it wouldn't make any difference.
Personnel Director Ma Hongmei was friends with Gao Xinhua, so she was concerned about the effect of this arrangement on Xu Chunliang and clarified: "Xiaoxu, you're handling the medical affairs department. These two new members are under you."
Xu Chunliang laughed and said, "They're not the newcomers; I'm the newcomer."
Ma Hongmei replied, "No matter how long they've been at the hospital, they're newcomers to the medical affairs department, and you're their leader."
Xu Chunliang thought to himself, "My leadership isn't right or justified, and I still don't know who leads whom. Maybe in a few days, the hospital will announce one of those two as the director of the medical affairs department. If that happens, I'll be a joke."
Initially, he wasn't interested in the title of director of the medical affairs department, but the hospital's actions upset him. "What do they take me for? Use me and then discard me? The problem is, I'm still pulling this grindstone."
Returning to the office, Zhou Wenbin had already left, and Cheng Xiaohong was cleaning up his office desk since Zhou had the best spot in the medical affairs department.
Cheng Xiaohong reminded Xu Chunliang to move his things there, acknowledging the reality that Xu would be her leader.
Xu Chunliang informed her of the news that two new members would be joining. Cheng Xiaohong was shocked: "What's going on? Those two are trouble. Is our medical affairs department becoming a shelter?"
Xu Chunliang said, "Is that reaction necessary?"
"You're new, so you don't know much. That Yang Zhen Gang is a famous troublemaker. Ask anyone in radiology if he hasn't offended them—rude and always causing trouble. And Huang Lide, who can't perform surgeries and spends all day playing mahjong. Both were driven out of their departments. Do you really want them?"
After venting, Cheng Xiaohong quickly realized that Xu Chunliang had no say in personnel arrangements. Even though she addressed him as Director Xu, the hospital hadn't made it official.
Working in administration for four years, Cheng Xiaohong knew that many unspoken rules existed. The key reason for someone to be promoted wasn't their own ability but whether leaders recognized that ability. Even if everyone else thought you were incompetent if the leader believed in you, you could be promoted.
Past Director Zhou Wenbin lacked ability and idled his days away, but because he was an old acquaintance of Gu Houyi, he became the director of the medical affairs department.
Xu Chunliang had skills but lacked credentials and experience, yet he was favored by leadership, allowing him to lead her.
Once she understood this reasoning, Cheng Xiaohong's sense of injustice dissipated, and she even felt sympathy for Xu Chunliang. Everyone thought he'd be promoted to director unexpectedly, and now with mid-course changes, if the position slipped away, he would be disappointed.
Out of goodwill, Cheng Xiaohong reminded, "Director Xu, you should be vigilant. It might be time to network more."
Xu Chunliang understood her point and smiled, saying, "Director Cheng, let's work together."
The opening ceremony for Tingmei Breast Enhancement was held grandly. On the opening day, they specially invited a once-popular female singer from Xiangjiang to cut the ribbon. Though now a third-tier singer, she still had some fame and could capitalize on her appearance to enjoy some benefits in the mainland.
Thanks to great pre-launch publicity, hundreds of loyal fans showed up on opening day, along with curious onlookers, making the scene packed.
Huichun Hall's entrance was blocked, leaving Elder Xu helpless, so he simply closed the door for the day. He had hoped that after the opening of Tingmei Breast Enhancement, there would be no noise disturbance, but unexpectedly, they forced him to halt operations on the first day.
It was a Saturday, and Xu Chunliang wasn't working. Noticing Elder Xu was in a bad mood, he suggested he go for a walk in the park to avoid being disturbed at home by the noise next door.
Pei Lin had sent him an invitation in advance. Out of courtesy, Xu Chunliang ordered two flower baskets to be sent over. He intended to have Huichun Hall written on the note, but his grandfather refused, leaving Xu to put his own name instead.
The Pei sisters, Pei Lin and Pei Yu, were beautifully dressed, flanking the once-popular female singer. Their looks seemed even better than the singer's. All three were dressed provocatively, with their chests tightly bound. After all, as the owners of a breast enhancement business, they needed to set an example. If their own busts were flat, clients would doubt the efficacy.
Suddenly, Xu realized it was Old Octopus's birthday. Those with monthly tickets, shower him with blessings! Let's see how many still remember me.
