Health Center.

Ji Xiuwen arrived very early.

He received a call from Hu Meiqiao yesterday, mentioning the Monday morning meeting.

However, he lives nearby, just in the complex opposite the Health Center. It only takes a few minutes to get there from his place, so after having breakfast, he arrived at the Health Center just before seven.

Seeing the long registration queue in the hall that had already formed by then, Ji Xiuwen couldn't help but be secretly amazed.

Previously, when he heard Hu Meiqiao mention the registration situation at the Health Center, he was surprised but it was just hearsay. Seeing it with his own eyes now, he was indeed somewhat shocked.

"Even at the County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the morning, there may not be so many people lining up to register."

Ji Xiuwen mumbled to himself, as the number of people registering at the County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine is certainly more than at the Health Center, but the lines are not like this.

Ji Xiuwen glanced left and right, not noticing any other staff members, so he approached the registration window. While someone was settling their payment, he leaned over and asked, "Hello, I am the new assistant in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Could you tell me which floor Dean Hu's office is on?"

"Dean Hu asked me to report directly to her office when I arrive."

Lv Huilan instinctively looked up. Upon hearing that he was a new doctor in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, she immediately smiled and pointed toward the elevator not far away: "Take the elevator to the fourth floor. The door with the sign 'Dean's Office' is the one."

Ji Xiuwen quickly thanked her, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. We're colleagues from now on." Lv Huilan said as she handed a middle-aged man his medical insurance card for registration.

Ji Xiuwen nodded toward her and then turned to walk toward the elevator.

Reaching the fourth floor, Ji Xiuwen quickly found Hu Meiqiao's office.

Hu Meiqiao had not arrived yet, but Ji Xiuwen was not in a rush and waited by the door for a while.

In less than ten minutes, Hu Meiqiao appeared at the office door on the fourth floor.

She glanced over and quickly recognized Ji Xiuwen, whom she had contacted before, and greeted him with a smile: "You must be Ji, right?"

"Are you... Dean Hu?" Ji Xiuwen wasn't sure. He had never seen her before, only heard her voice over the phone.

However, voices over the phone can sometimes be a bit distorted.

"I am Hu Meiqiao."

Hu Meiqiao nodded, confirming her identity, then opened the office door and invited Ji Xiuwen in.

They chatted in the office for a while before Hu Meiqiao glanced at the time and stood up, saying, "Ji, today happens to be the weekly meeting, so come with me. You can meet everyone later."

Ji Xiuwen nodded and followed along.

Once at the meeting room, Ji Xiuwen found that several people were already seated.

Hu Meiqiao introduced them one by one and then introduced Ji Xiuwen: "This is Ji, Ji Xiuwen. Starting today, he officially joins the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department as Lu's assistant. Welcome him."

Applause followed.

Ji Xiuwen greeted the heads and doctors of the departments at the Health Center one by one.

After the introductions, Hu Meiqiao noticed that Lu Xuan hadn't arrived yet, prompting her to look at Wang Youqing: "Old Wang, where's Lu?"

"Hmm～"

Wang Youqing seemed to be deep in thought, only responding after being prompted, tapping his head and saying, "I almost forgot, Lu mentioned to me that he encountered someone having a stroke on the bus, which delayed him a bit. He might not make it to the meeting today."

"Saving lives is more important."

Hu Meiqiao smiled and said, "Since Lu isn't here, let's proceed. Old Wang, make sure to convey today's meeting content to Lu."

"Sure, leave it to me." Wang Youqing nodded.

On the side, Cheng Gaowen and Zhou Liting pulled a face upon hearing that Lu Xuan couldn't attend the meeting: "We were planning to have Lu check our pulse and prescribe our medicine for the week, but now we'll have to wait until after work."

The two of them didn't register, and it's not great to look for Lu Xuan during work hours. If other patients found out, complaints were inevitable.

For more resentful patients, they might even lodge a formal complaint against them.

Moreover, it would harm Lu Xuan's reputation.

Realizing this, the two felt somewhat helpless.

"Sister Cheng, maybe tomorrow would be better. Let's come early in the morning, as Lu usually arrives quite early." Zhou Liting suggested softly.

Cheng Gaowen nodded: "Sounds good."

"Alright, alright, let's not discuss personal matters during the meeting."

Hu Meiqiao interrupted them and addressed everyone: "Let me say a few words. The first thing is to welcome Ji Xiuwen to our big family. If he has any questions, everyone should help him to quickly acclimate to the work here at the Health Center.

The second thing is that starting today, the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine will change its operational model. This was notified last week; I don't know if you've seen it, so let me highlight the important points.

Except in special cases, morning patients will pick up their medicine in the afternoon, and afternoon patients the next day. The Health Center will also start offering a medicine decoction service from today, with most medicine pickups the following day.

Furthermore, Kenan's internship lasts only two months, so there is a high chance the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine will continue hiring. Please keep this in mind..."

In today's meeting, Hu Meiqiao talked about many things, most of which pertain to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

After all, the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine has become a shining emblem for the Health Center, so it's normal for Hu Meiqiao to allocate resources toward it. Wang Youqing and others didn't object.
