When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Qin Xiaoyuan's concerns are not unfounded.

Currently, we are in a transitional period, with an ever-decreasing number of slots in organizational staffing. The hospital is gradually eliminating established posts, creating a more complete model combining record-keeping and contract systems.

Thus, the number of official posts offered each year is diminishing.

It is highly unlikely for a hospital to grant posts to 50 people, let alone a single department.

The Provincial Personnel Department's staffing division is not unwilling to agree; rather, it has limited quotas. Additionally, Dongyang Province is not very developed and has a limited budget, so even when it comes to staffing, no one is eager to issue them.

After pondering this, Chen Cang felt it made sense.

"How about we request 15 posts instead? But... let's create more contract positions and raise the benefits a bit, hopefully to attract talent."

Qin Xiaoyuan nodded, "Yes, indeed... if it truly gets approved, I doubt it'll look good, considering the trouble of deciding who gets what."

Compared to official posts, contract positions really have a hard time attracting talent.

After all, given our national situation, everyone everywhere prefers the three words: 'official worker'.

That is, the so-called iron rice bowl.

After Chen Cang nodded: "Alright then, I'll go tomorrow and discuss with Director Li and others how to allocate these 15 posts."

The emergency building is to be established, and Chen Cang's plan is still to bring people on separately.

The eight-story emergency building itself is quite imposing.

Chen Cang's plan designates the first floor as the emergency outpatient and rescue hall, the second floor as a distinct emergency department operating room, the third floor combining emergency general surgery and hepatobiliary surgery, the fourth floor for emergency thoracic and cardiac surgery, the fifth floor for emergency orthopedics and hand surgery, the sixth floor for the ICU monitoring room, the seventh floor housing emergency neurology and neurosurgery, and the eighth floor dedicated to emergency internal medicine.

But alas, the eighth floor truly isn't spacious enough.

This setup can only attempt to include several departments.

With such a scale, staffing must be distributed further down.

The following day, everyone convened as planned for a meeting.

Time was tight and the tasks heavy, requiring everyone to deliberate carefully.

Li Baoshan acting as vice director of the emergency building, provided good assistant management for Chen Cang.

Afterward, Chen Cang planned another wave of recruitment for ICU talent.

After all, the emergency and ICU departments complement each other; neither is dispensable. Chen Cang couldn't handle both alongside his duties, and Director Li hadn't been dealing with ICU work for a long time either, making it hard for him to manage.

Thus, Chen Cang decided a recruitment was necessary.

For the general surgery and hepatobiliary surgery departments, Chen Cang assigned his former mentor, Chen Bingsheng, as the head.

For thoracic and cardiac surgery, Chen Cang decided on recruiting talent, requiring allocation of some slots.

The discussions were fierce.

Everyone hoped to secure more talent for their own departments.

Eventually, after much argument, the allocations were finalized.

Yet, the most challenging departments, neurosurgery and the ICU, remained lacking in personnel.

Chen Cang could only strive to attract more contract talents.

Hoping they would decide to stay once they arrived!

After a full day of discussion, the positions were finally determined.

Chen Cang dared not delay any longer and rushed back to the capital overnight.

The next day, the hospital reported the quotas upwards.

The Provincial Personnel Department's staffing division, upon receiving information from all hospitals, also needed to approve it.

However, after the personnel approval from Provincial Hospital No. 2 was sent upwards, it directly landed on the staffing division chief's desk.

As someone with a keen political sense, Lei Yunda knew how to handle certain matters.

He immediately picked up the phone and directly dialed Qin Xiaoyuan's number.

"Principal Qin, it's me, Old Lei!" Lei Yunda showed no arrogance.

Even though he was a department director, which is quite an important position.

But!

Who exactly is Qin Xiaoyuan?

Not to say his position as the president of the medical university or a vice-director level is utterly impressive.

In fact, both were of the same rank; the staffing division is an important division within the Personnel Department, with Lei Yunda also holding a concurrent position as deputy director of the Personnel Department.

In comparison, Lei Yunda had significant face-saving.

But crucially, Qin Xiaoyuan was Professor Chen Cang's father-in-law.

That was the key point.

Chen Cang had a godfather in Dongyang named Kong Xiangmin and a friend named Zheng Guotan.

Going further, even Lei Yunda didn't dare to imagine.

He was, after all, deputy leader of the Central Health Care Commission's expert group, specially serving leaders.

He wouldn't be foolish enough to challenge Qin Xiaoyuan.

Instead, he had to extend a favor.

That's why he proactively reached out to Qin Xiaoyuan.

Upon receiving the call, Qin Xiaoyuan immediately chuckled and said, "Director Lei, hello hello! What kind of guidance do you have?"

With a laugh, Lei Yunda replied, "Old Qin, you're teasing me now. We've been mingling for half of our lives; let's not talk about guidance!"

Qin Xiaoyuan didn't expose it.

Right now, he felt a bit complacent.

After all, even the mayor greeted him warmly and wouldn't dare nor intentionally show contempt.

Previously, provincial department leaders rarely came to Provincial Hospital No. 2, typically visiting the Provincial People's, Provincial Academy of Sciences, or Dongda Hospital.

But recently, things have changed.

Ever since Chen Cang got married, the dilapidated rehabilitation department of Provincial Hospital No. 2 was bustling.

The rehabilitation and massage department director, Li, who was preparing to embrace retirement, even brought up the 'TDUZHISU' technique, getting increasingly confident.

Knowing how to interact, Lei Yunda bypassed unnecessary comments and got straight to the point:

"President Qin, I'm not referring to other things but about the application list your hospital submitted. I had a look and found some issues!"

Instantly, Qin Xiaoyuan frowned!

Indeed, it was quite difficult for the emergency department to approve 15 personnel... It may need a three-to-five-year phased completion.

Qin Xiaoyuan nodded, "Yes, Little Chen is quite inexperienced, Director Lei, please pardon him. He just became a director and is ambitious to excel, so he requested a larger number!"

"I'll have him revise it immediately to reduce a few..."

Upon hearing this, Lei Yunda was taken aback. Was Qin Xiaoyuan dragging himself into a pit?

Is this what I meant?

He hurriedly explained, "Oh, Principal Qin, you misunderstood me."

"My intention is that the province attaches great importance to this Provincial Hospital No. 2 emergency building project and specifically instructed me to fulfill your recruitment needs as much as possible."

"What I mean is, Principal Qin, communicate with Professor Chen, let him be more daring. We can appropriately relax the rules since it's all for the benefit of the people in Dongyang Province!"

Qin Xiaoyuan was dumbfounded!

He cautiously asked, "Then... 20?"

With a slight smile, Lei Yunda asked, "Is that enough?"

Swallowing hard, Qin Xiaoyuan's heart skipped a beat: "Could it be... 25?!"

Lei Yunda: "You can be even bolder!"

Qin Xiaoyuan felt overwhelmed!

Having been a director for so long, he never encountered a scenario where 25 posts are granted to a single department in one year! When has the staffing division ever been this accommodating!

Clenching his teeth, Qin Xiaoyuan said, "Director Lei, give me a number. I truly can't conjecture anymore; it surely can't be 50!"

After a brief moment of silence, Lei Yunda said, "Hmm! That's feasible, let's go with that standard!"
