Merchant and doctor

Chapter 2100 The Acting Master Arrives Uninvited
The basic layout of the No. 3 Joint Medical Center is already taking shape, but the choice of the owner has not yet been finalized. Bian Mu believes in the prediction of the forest ranger, Old Liang, that Teng Daili might be the best candidate. However, to this day, Old Liang spends all his time wandering around the construction site, but he hasn't mentioned talking to Teng Daili at all.

Bian Mu wanted to ask, but got so caught up in her work that she forgot. Anyway, the renovation would take a while to finish, and the project would need to be left to air out, so it wasn't really anything urgent.

In addition, the nature of the owner of Clinic No. 3 is not quite the same as that of the head of the main clinic, such as Bian Mu. Even if the wrong person is chosen, it will not cause too much trouble.

That noon, not long after getting off work, Bian Mu was sitting by the window discussing with Dr. Gong the condition of a 4-year-old girl who was timid, afraid of light, afraid of things, and afraid of being hugged by elders, when he saw Teng Daili slowly walk in from outside the door. For some reason, Teng Daili seemed much more approachable than before.

Nurse Sun and Teng Daili had always been quite close, so she quickly went over to greet her, made Teng Daili a cup of fragrant tea, chatted for a few minutes, and then left for the day.

Thinking that Dr. Teng must have something to discuss with the museum owner, and seeing that the treatment plan was basically finalized and the core medical principles were understood, Dr. Gong got up, smiled, waved to Teng Daili, and went upstairs to meet Painter Fang for lunch. Accountant Yu had been much more stable recently, and many of her discomforts had gradually disappeared. In a good mood, she wanted to have a lively lunch with her colleagues, so Teacher Yu didn't come to pick her up from school.

Dr. Gong helped push the wheelchair, and painter Fang accompanied them. Before leaving, the three beautiful women greeted Teng Daili.

As soon as Bian Mu sat down opposite Teng Daili, she heard her say with a smile, "Accountant Yu's complexion looks much rosier than before, and she even seems to have lost a bit of weight. Judging from her posture, she might really be able to get out of her wheelchair!"

"She has indeed lost some weight, but that's all due to accumulated illness. It's fortunate that we intervened in time, otherwise it would have caused a lot of trouble in the future. This is my fault; I overthought things and it delayed things a bit. I feel guilty about it. Fortunately, she is kind and cooperative, and her condition is much better than we expected! As for whether she can stand up and walk normally again in the future, in a sense, it depends on whether she can find a suitable boyfriend."

"Oh! She is quite pretty and has a good temperament, but... once the other party sees her like this... it might be a bit difficult to find a suitable one!" Teng Daili replied casually, glancing at the door.

"If you know anyone suitable, you might as well introduce her to them. Of course, it would be best to let me know beforehand so I can help you make a preliminary selection."

"Around me?! There really aren't any... I wouldn't dare introduce someone too ordinary!"

How is your relative doing lately?

"He went abroad for a trip. Teacher Zhao Xicheng is really something. I'm so glad I listened to you back then... I heard that another branch opened here?"

"It's under renovation! The location is good, but the backyard takes a bit of work to maintain. In the future, we plan to turn it into a distinctive traditional Chinese medicine clinic, the kind that incorporates elements of green and ecological medicine, like painting therapy, sound therapy, and nature-based therapy... We can try them out there first."

"That's great! I'm even considering it... By the way, I wanted to ask you something. Recently... because of various trivial matters, I've had some unpleasantness with my new supervisor. She's cunning and petty, seemingly charming on the surface but secretly scheming. I'm finding it a bit awkward working there. Luckily, our hospital's joint medical research project has been officially approved. One of our vice presidents, who I'm quite close to, wants me to apply for a sub-project for an overseas research trip. At our hospital, all I need to do is sign in on Monday morning and submit a weekly attendance sheet before 18 PM on Friday. I think this is a perfect match, so... could our two hospitals coordinate? I mean, our hospital and Clinic No. 3. The project conditions are quite generous. I could also improve myself by working with my colleagues there. I don't have much of a future at our hospital; at most, I'll get a senior professional title and just coast until retirement. It's so boring!"

Upon hearing this, Bian Muxin was immediately taken aback.

"The old man has always been very concerned about things! He knows everything about Teng Daili's hospital. Back in the day, he witnessed all the ups and downs of life!" Thinking of this, Bian Mu was a little moved. Obviously, the forest ranger, Old Liang, had nothing better to do than secretly plan things for Bian Mu.

In addition, although the old man didn't say it, he secretly protected Bian Mu from many troubles and avoided many unforeseen risks. The old man's children have been living abroad for many years, and he will definitely take care of Bian Mu in his old age and in his final days.

“It sounds good to me, but… in the past two years, I’ve gotten into the habit of examining important logical details when doing things. Send me the detailed plans for the so-called sub-projects later, and we’ll take a look at them.”

"I already sent it to your email before I came. Thank you for taking the time to glance at it despite your busy schedule." "Well... let's say things go well with your hospital, how will the clinic pay you?"

"Salary?! No, no! On the contrary, our hospital might even allocate some medical equipment and commonly used consumables to us. This is a legitimate joint medical operation. Our hospital director is very smart. The key point is... our overall medical level is significantly higher than ours. I'm referring to the traditional Chinese medicine outpatient department. Everyone knows this perfectly well, but they just can't say it out loud. If I hadn't already consulted with the director, the secretary, and several vice directors, I wouldn't have come to bother you."

"Then let's give you a living allowance! If business is good, you can get an extra one; if business is bad, you'll just have to accept the less-than-ideal situation," Bian Mu said tactfully.

"Really, no need! I'd be perfectly happy if you could just set up a table and put a computer on it for me over there."

"In principle, there's no problem. We'll discuss it and get back to you as soon as possible!"

"Thank you, thank you! To be honest, every time I come here, I feel like I'm coming back to my mother's home, it's so warm and welcoming!"

"Hahaha..." Bian Mu was immediately amused.

Just then, Bian Mu's phone rang.

The call came from Cai Huaixin, the newly appointed deputy secretary-general of Xiaobailou.

"Director Bian, your work is truly inspired! You transformed such a flawed paper into something magical with just a few revisions. I just received the notification that it has been approved. Thank you!"

"It was nothing, you're too kind! I hope Doctor Dian is doing well over there!"

“That’s great. His professional skills are impeccable. The probationary period can be shortened to six months. If there are no objections from any quarter after the Spring Festival next year, I will nominate him for promotion to full member.”

"Thank you so much! Dr. Dian is now in charge of our branch, and having this position here will make practicing medicine and handling other matters much more convenient in the future. More importantly, with the care of Deputy Secretary-General Cai, Dr. Dian will be able to make even faster progress in his professional skills!"

"Hahaha... The owner really knows how to talk! It's no big deal between us! I know you're busy, so I won't bother you any longer. I'll treat you to a meal another day!"

"You're welcome! Let's get together another day!" With that, Bian Mu hung up the phone.

Afterwards, Teng Daili suggested that Bian Mu go out for a meal, but Bian Mu declined, saying that he had something come up and couldn't go. He said he would treat Teng Daili to a meal once the project cooperation was finalized.

The two chatted for a while longer about jointly running a hospital, then Teng Daili got up to say goodbye and went home.

……

Forest ranger Lao Liang had made preparations beforehand. When Bian Mu brought up the matter, Lao Liang smiled and urged Bian Mu to finalize the matter as soon as possible. The two initially agreed to formally hire Teng Daili as the acting curator of Branch 3.
