Chapter 171 -171 The Life of Worry
“There was such an incident? That girl didn’t mention it; she really knows how to keep her mouth shut.” Dean Zhang had no idea and realized how urgent the situation must have been the moment Li Dongliang mentioned it.
“Actually, the girl’s medical skills are really good. Do you know Han Weiguo? Today, we were in the same car. I was impaled by a steel pipe in my seat, and he wasn’t in good shape either. His arm was almost twisted like a pretzel. Most importantly, at that time, the girl wanted to give him an injection, saying he had internal bleeding. That fellow was smug, telling me he was fine and that the girl had made a wrong diagnosis, stubbornly refusing to let her administer the injection.
Well, it turned out great in the end; he started vomiting blood and went into shock. It was still the girl who hurried over to save him. I asked the hospital; his internal bleeding was quite severe. He’s already been sent to the ward for surgery,” Li Dongliang couldn’t help but sigh, considering them brothers in adversity.
Dean Zhang comforted him, “This girl… if she is talented, don’t worry, I will take good care of her.”
Li Dongliang suddenly remembered Bai Xiao’s peculiar requests.
These conditions probably could only be suggested by himself; if that girl mentioned them to Dean Zhang, he might think she was deliberately being difficult.
“Oh, right, arrange a separate consultation room for that girl. The room should be able to be warmed at any time, preferably with a small private compartment, and have a 24-hour supply of hot water. As for the girl’s cafeteria standard, just go ahead and match it to your own level. You don’t realize, I just found out that the needles she uses for acupuncture involve more than just needles…”
“I know, you can ease your mind a bit. I know she uses Qigong for her acupuncture. She gave me an injection today, her small face was so cold it was colder than ice. Even under the covers, she was shivering. Now I understand why she stuffed a lollipop into her mouth the moment she walked in; I thought it was because she was young and liked sweets, but now I realize she was quickly trying to replenish her energy.
You just relax, even if it’s just to ensure that in the future she can treat this old man’s chronic leg pain, I will treat her properly, right?” Dean Zhang laughed while Li Dongliang was rarely this concerned about a girl.
Li Dongliang shook his head, “You already know, so much for my worrying! I haven’t even told you yet about the girl’s demands! She asked for lollipops and chocolate. It’s probably the first time a hospital like ours has encountered such welfare requirements. It’s a bit excessive, but let’s do this: the hospital can just cover the chocolate. You can set up an order for her, put a dish on her desk every day, filled with chocolates.”
“Enough, stop worrying. I will take care of these matters for you, alright? You, you’re just fated to worry. Look at yourself, all beaten up and anxious. Just rest well,” Dean Zhang said and then left. There were still many things to attend to in her hospital. She could only sit with him for a bit; if she stayed any longer, probably all the directors and doctors would come looking for her.
After Dean Zhang left, Li Dongliang remembered something and asked Zhang He, “What about Bai Xiao’s brother?”
“Her brother escorted her here, seems like he’s sorting out her dormitory before planning to head back. I guess he also took leave of absence to accompany his sister,” Zhang He had a pretty good impression of Bai Song. 𝖓𝔬𝖛𝔭𝔲𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
“He seems like a decent person, especially his skills; you have no idea. He forced the deformed car door open when it was stuck, that guy just pried it off. Both siblings are good. After you return, draft a transfer order and bring him to your side. Train him for a year or two, call it gilding him. It’s for his long-term career development.
Really, both are admirable, otherwise, I wouldn’t be shamelessly doing all this.”
Li Dongliang was genuinely fond of these two siblings.
Zhang He immediately promised, “Leader, rest assured, I will handle it. Your top priority now is to recuperate. Leave everything else to me.”
Li Dongliang finally fell asleep, his mind at ease.
When Zhang He left the room, he called the secretary over; he was the Chief Secretary, after all.
“Stay with the Chief inside, keep an eye on the IV drip. If there’s any issue, call for the nurse or doctor right away. Don’t take it lightly!”
Having arranged everything in the ward, Zhang He then stepped out.
……
Bai Xiao and Bai Song followed Li Ran to the personnel department first.
If you want to start working, it’s not just about talking; there’s a lot of formalities to complete.
You have to fill out your personal details, family background; all this information has to pass a political review eventually.
But since it was the Dean who had spoken, of course, all these matters were just formalities.
Sure enough, Bai Xiao’s paperwork was quickly processed, “I’ll take you to the department of Traditional Chinese Medicine now. Your work badge will take another two days, so go out later today to take a one-inch photo to bring back, as the badge needs a photo attached and to be stamped. Once you’re at your department, I’ll have your Director take you to the dormitory and sort out the rest of your affairs.” The human resources Director couldn’t accompany Bai Xiao to handle these things all the time, of course.
Li Ran led Bai Xiao to the department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
By now it was already afternoon, and the office wasn’t very busy.
Li Ran found the Director’s office and knocked on the door.
“Is Director Wang in?”
Upon hearing Li Ran’s voice, Wang Dachuan hurriedly opened the door to welcome them in.
“Oh, why does our grand HR Director have time to swing by here?”
He offered tea.
He glanced at Bai Xiao, not quite discerning what this girl was here for. But since she had come in with Li Ran, she must have business to attend to.
“What do you mean? I wouldn’t come if I didn’t have business. Here, I’m bringing a new doctor to your department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Bai Xiao, an Acupuncture doctor. This is Wang Dachuan, the Director of your department, your immediate superior in the future. Quickly say hello,” Li Ran, out of respect for Dean Zhang’s face, didn’t dare to just drop Bai Xiao off and leave. His personal delivery was a statement of their important connection.
Wang Dachuan was taken aback but did not stand up. Since she was coming to work under his command, she was his soldier. Even though she was a connection of Li Ran’s, he didn’t put her too high in his esteem. At most, he would offer her a bit more care, but that was not enough reason for him to lower himself and stand up to be overly enthused.
Bai Xiao greeted, “Director Wang, hello. I’m Bai Xiao, and I look forward to your guidance in the future.”
Her courtesy was impeccable.
Wang Dachuan was quite pleased; it seemed this young girl knew how to conduct herself, not acting arrogant or spoiled because of her connections.
“Young lady, in the future our department of Traditional Chinese Medicine will be relying on you young folks. Work hard, and surely you will accomplish great things.”
Seeing that his task was done, Li Ran stood up. “I’ve brought her to you, everything else including picking up the work uniform and meal ticket is your responsibility now. Oh, right, her dormitory has been arranged in the experts’ building. Bai Xiao, come to my office later to pick up the keys.”
Wang Dachuan hurriedly held him back, “How can you leave without even a sip of tea? Surely our department’s tea is nourishing?” It wasn’t that he didn’t want Li Ran to leave; he was startled when he heard Bai Xiao was assigned a dormitory in the experts’ building.
Even he, the Director of the department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, didn’t get to live in the experts’ building.
The facilities there were very good, reserved for national-level experts.
To think that a young girl like her was going to live there, it made his position as Director seem inadequate.
His subordinates would be living better than he did.
How was he to manage people in the future?
Li Ran waved it off, “Right, don’t arrange any outpatient sessions for this girl for the next couple of days. Dean Zhang said her consultation room is being renovated, so just let her get to know the department and help out everyone for now.” Actually, Li Ran himself was extremely curious and wanted to know who Bai Xiao really was.
Then he left directly.
