Merchant and doctor

Chapter 2492 The most dangerous time is when you are most triumphant.
Xiao Xiaoqin is extremely happy lately!
Zhang Jinsi was in charge of the pharmacy at the second branch of the "New Concept" Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic. According to the standards of private clinics, Zhang Jinsi was a proper "head of the pharmacy," while Pharmacist Mei was the second pharmacist. Since Xiao Xiaoqin was a newcomer, according to convention, Zhang Jinsi would be transferred back to the main clinic to officially take over as head of the pharmacy, Pharmacist Mei would be promoted to "head of the pharmacy," and Xiao Xiaoqin would stay at the second branch to assist Pharmacist Mei.

To everyone's surprise, the owner directly transferred Xiao Xiaoqin to the main branch, and meticulously built a higher-level "big pharmacy" with her as the core. Judging from the recent procurement list, the main branch's big pharmacy is clearly at least one level higher than the second branch.

Although Xiao Xiaoqin's salary grade is slightly lower than Zhang Jinsi's, given her resume and age, it is already a dream salary. If she works hard enough, her future salary will most likely surpass that of Zhang Jinsi and Pharmacist Mei.

It's like receiving wealth from the sky.

Overjoyed, Xiao Xiaoqin naturally worked extra hard.

She had been paying close attention to all the recent activities of Director Sha of the "Yuan Gu" Traditional Chinese Medicine Preparation Company, fearing that she might miss any important details, which would be a disservice to her boss's cultivation.

however……

The owner's reaction was very calm, and he didn't even show much disappointment.

While eating, Xiao Xiaoqin felt somewhat deflated, as if she had unleashed a powerful punch with all her might, only to have it miss its mark like a mud ox sinking into the sea, leaving her feeling empty and disoriented, sending the person flying far away. She felt a strange unease in her heart.

“Once that contract is signed, we’re completely out of luck here, right?” Xiao Xiaoqin said casually, her big, bright eyes wide.

"That's not necessarily true. Director Sha and his group are out of touch with the times. If they had followed the normal procedures, they might have been able to retire peacefully. But at this critical moment of life and death, they insisted on doing this... They might have to pay for their own medical insurance, pension, and other related expenses in the years to come!" Bian Mu replied with a smile.

"Really? Why is that?"

“The requirements for traditional Chinese medicine in the technology market are becoming increasingly sophisticated and complex. Forget about Director Sha and his group; even the renowned Lei Xueming has long since retreated to a quiet corner seeking new avenues. How can Director Sha and his team compare? They can't! This actually saves us a lot of trouble!” Bian Mu replied with a smile. “Save trouble? In what specific way? I don't quite understand!”

"Perhaps... you're still young, and working in the pharmaceutical industry, so your exposure to things on the street is limited. Let me put it this way: even if 'Yuangu' is doing poorly, even if it's on the verge of bankruptcy, it's still a legitimate company with a history, a retirement system, and a relatively complete and well-organized structure. Director Sha and Factory Manager Ma aren't just one person; they involve many employees with vested interests. If I were to handle all the historical issues of your grandfather's factory now, tell me, who in the factory is Director Sha's man, and who is closest to him? The same goes for Factory Manager Ma! How far can you go?" Bian Mu asked with a smile.

"This... is indeed quite difficult! Director Sha is usually quite loyal; whenever someone has a problem, they'll ask him to come over, even if it's just for a smoke, a cup of tea, or a casual chat. That makes all the difference; he definitely has some authority. I heard that people often ask him for money, and he's never refused anyone's request, no matter how much or how little! My grandfather said that Old Sha isn't a bad person at heart; I heard he's a filial son at home! Suddenly finding out who's on his side—whether that's more positive or negative for the factory's future development—is really hard to handle..."

"That settles it! A lot of things can't be done openly. After all, they're all legal employees. Even if they've become obstacles to the factory's future development, some of their actions aren't illegal or against regulations. What are you going to do about it?! Right? Since ancient times, the gray areas have been the hardest to operate in. But now it's different. Director Ma just turned around and transferred, and Director Sha successfully closed several big deals. Overnight, he became a major contributor, didn't he? Director Sha will definitely reject those who used to follow Director Ma. This guy suddenly became powerful, and he'll definitely make things difficult for those who can't be transferred for the time being. In this way, who's close to whom and who's distant will be obvious all of a sudden. What can you hide from your family for three generations?! Right! Maybe Engineer Xiao has already started compiling the list!" Bian Mu explained with a smile.

"Huh?! You actually play like this?!"

"The best part is yet to come. The absolute productivity of the 'Yuan Gu' formulation is quite good. If we're on the right track, anything goes. But what if we're on the wrong track?! It'll be a waste of manpower and resources. What will Director Sha end up with?! Right? Especially in the early stages of the cooperation, the people from Nanjin, the management and technical staff, will inevitably have to work with Director Sha's side for a while. Aren't the people around Director Sha going to be eager to show themselves? Engineer Xiao and his team only need to do a few simple screenings to find out exactly how many people Director Sha has and what their characteristics are. It's much easier than us secretly paying people to investigate." Bian Mu explained with a smile.

"From what you're saying, boss... if we let them all excitedly rush to the list, then when we're really in charge in the future, we can just fire people based on that list!"

"Hahaha... That's a bit narrow-minded! Since ancient times, everyone has their own talents! The list is definitely necessary, but how to use them can't be rigid. We should guide those who can be guided. In any case, for most ordinary people, they spend their whole lives following the crowd, just to make a living! As long as they can quickly adjust their life direction, purify their minds, and settle down to work hard in the factory, how bad can their future be? Furthermore, the operational status of any legitimate pharmaceutical company is not just a matter for a few of us. We need to comprehensively examine its social impact and social positioning. We are powerless in this regard. We can only rely on the experts and scholars at Xiaobailou to convey our new understanding of the market to the higher-ups. The higher-ups have a higher perspective and will definitely conduct investigations and make arrangements. Only then can we dare to promptly present our latest drug research results. After the higher-ups have studied them repeatedly, many fundamental policies will naturally be introduced, and the vital interests of all parties will receive more reasonable respect and arrangements."

"Boss! This is what you call strategic thinking from the top, right? That's amazing!"

"Hey! What are you talking about! That's not the most important thing. From an HR perspective, the more successful Director Sha becomes, the easier it is for his close associates to be eliminated."

Hearing this, Xiao Xiaoqin was a little confused.
