A doctor who travels through two eras

Chapter 108 The Dean personally sent him to office

１７ Mar ２００４.

Kuanjie Chinese Medicine Hospital Organization and Personnel Department
Li Xiaoping, the head of the Organization and Personnel Section, stamped the document and handed it to Jin Caifeng:

"Sister Jin, on behalf of the organization, I would like to express my gratitude to you for your contribution to our hospital over the years. I hope you will continue to support the work of our hospital after you retire."

Jin Caifeng didn't feel any emotion when she received the retirement certificate. She thought that if everyone didn't have to be self-reliant in the new society, she would actually prefer to be a rich wife at home, commanding servants to take care of the family.

But she still looked grateful:
"President Shen, Section Chief Li, thank you for taking care of our family for so many years. From now on, I will leave my youngest son in your care."

Dean Shen next to him had a smile on his face, but he was thinking in his heart: Who will take care of whom? If my family doesn't want to go hungry, I have to ask your youngest son for help.

At this time, Section Chief Li tapped an official seal and handed a work permit to Lin Sanqi:

"Comrade Lin Sanqi, congratulations on officially becoming a member of our Kuanjie Chinese Medicine Hospital. I hope you will work diligently in your job, make your own contribution to our socialist cause, and live up to the trust of the organization in you."

Lin Sanqi nodded and bowed quickly:
"Yes, yes, Chief Li, rest assured. I will follow the example of my father and two brothers and serve the people wholeheartedly, satisfy the leaders, reassure the patients, and reassure my colleagues."

After all, he was a student union cadre before, so he was always capable of speaking high-sounding words. You have to know that the student union in a university is a typical shadow bureaucracy.

After saying that, Lin Sanqi opened the red work ID card, which had a one-inch black-and-white photo on it, and his name and work unit written below, which gave it a very retro feel.

At this time, Section Chief Li glanced at Dean Shen and said with a smile:
"The other thing is the salary classification. Originally, according to your situation, you could only receive an apprentice salary when you first entered the hospital. However, due to your family's special situation, your father was recruited as a special talent, so extra care needs to be taken for the family members.

So after discussion, the hospital decided to let you skip the apprenticeship period and set your salary according to the second-level worker standard."

When Lin Kucan and Jin Caifeng heard this, they were delighted. The monthly salary of an apprentice was 20 yuan, while the monthly salary of a second-level worker was 39.5 yuan, which was twice the difference.

In an era where everything depends on wages and every penny has to be counted, an extra 19.5 yuan is a huge amount.

Lin Sanqi didn't care. He didn't rely on salary to make a living anyway. Having a legitimate job also gave him a legal cover for survival in this era.

At this time, Section Chief Li said:
"However, Comrade Lin Sanqi came at an unfortunate time. The state has just issued a document stating that due to the country's difficulties, the salary of each employee must be reduced by one third, so the actual salary is 27 yuan per month. In addition, the monthly grain quota is 23 kilograms..."

Jin Caifeng's face turned pale when she heard this:

"Oh, the salary has been cut again. This is the second time. And the ration is only 23 kilograms. How can this boy eat enough?"

Dean Shen almost laughed out loud, thinking, "Why are you guys pretending? This kid is the only one who can starve? Even if the whole city starves to death, this little bastard won't die of starvation."

Lin Sanqi didn't care: "It's okay, it's okay, mother. The country's difficulties are temporary. Everything will be fine."

Dean Shen nodded, obviously very satisfied with Lin Sanqi's answer:

"Good boy, you are very conscious. Our Chinese Medicine Hospital needs talents like you. By the way, you are not a D member yet, right? Hurry up and write an application. I will introduce you personally."

Lin Kucan, Jin Caifeng and Section Chief Li in the room all looked at the dean in surprise.

Section Chief Li thought: Could it be that this Lin Sanqi's real name is Shen Sanqi? Otherwise, why would the dean go against his usual practice and recommend me for admission and take such good care of me? Wasn't he quite principled in the past?
Dean Shen felt embarrassed by everyone's stares and coughed a few times:

"Why are you looking at me? Once you've completed the formalities, go report to the purchasing department. Xiao Qi, let's go. Uncle Shen will take you there personally."

Dean Shen knew it clearly in his mind. This kind of care within the scope of work could be exchanged for white rice and five-finger-thick pork. Why not do it?
To put it bluntly, people are all selfish.

Everyone came out of the Organization Department at the same time. Lin Sanqi was the last one to leave. When almost everyone left, he quietly took out a paper bag from his backpack:
"Chief Li, these are some local specialties from my hometown. Please have a taste, hehe."

"Oh, no, Comrade Xiaolin, you..."

Lin Sanqi had already run away, and Li Xiaoping couldn't stop him no matter how hard he tried.

"Hey, this kid, send tea."

Li Xiaoping quickly closed the office door to make sure no one saw him, then hurriedly opened the paper bag and smelled it:
"Mm, it smells so good, Longjing tea, this is a treasure. Hey, wait, aren't the Lin family from Dongguang? Isn't this Longjing from Zhejiang Province?"

No matter how dumb Li Xiaoping was, he knew that Lin Sanqi had given him a gift intentionally, and it was definitely a great gift of this era.

But Li Xiaoping was not going to quit. After all, no one saw it and he didn't make any mistakes. He just took it. He just needed to take care of this new employee in the future...

The purchasing department is located in the farthest corner of the hospital. The office is separated from a large warehouse and the office conditions are not very good.

When Lin Sanqi and his companions arrived at the door of the purchasing department, a large truck was unloading goods and workers were moving bags of medicinal materials into the warehouse.

In the hot summer, every worker was tanned and sweating profusely.

Seeing Lin Sanqi's expression change, Dean Shen said with a smile:

"Don't worry. Although the bag-carrying masters are also from the purchasing department, they are temporary workers who do manual labor. Regular employees of the purchasing department don't need to carry bags in principle. However, when there is a shortage of manpower or in an emergency, they will still rush up to carry bags."

Lin Kucan didn't care: "It's necessary for work. Even if it's to plug a bullet hole, I have to go. Carrying a backpack won't kill me. If you don't want to carry a backpack, you have to study medicine!"

Lin Sanqi scratched his head, thinking that the old man never forgot that he was studying medicine.

Dean Shen also nodded in agreement:

"Yes, Xiaoqi, you have the conditions to study medicine, you can't give up on this. The purchasing department is just a transition for you. When you are able to graduate, Uncle Shen will change your position."

Lin Kucan and Jin Caifeng looked at the dean in surprise again, wondering what kind of magic their youngest son had to take down the dean?
"Why don't you thank Dean Shen?"

"Oh, thank you, Uncle Shen,"

At this time, Kong Shuihu, the head of the purchasing department, had come out of the room and greeted him:

"Director Shen, you are here to inspect our work, haha, oh, Doctor Lin, Sister Jin is here too, this young comrade is..."

Dean Shen was amiable in front of Lin Sanqi, but still had a lot of authority in front of other staff. "Old Kong, come here. I'm sending you a new soldier today, Comrade Lin Sanqi. Comrade Xiao Lin is the youngest son of Doctor Lin and an outstanding soldier of our Chinese Medicine Hospital. Xiao Qi, this is Comrade Kong Shuihu, the head of the purchasing department, your immediate superior."

Lin Sanqi stepped forward and greeted politely: "Hello, Chief Kong, please take care of me in the future."

Kong Shuihu's mind was as clear as a mirror.

Employees who are personally sent by the head of the unit, and who come to work at a time when all units across the country are laying off employees, are typical people with connections.

Moreover, this new employee has a father who is a famous doctor in our hospital. The most frightening thing is that his whole family works in the hospital of traditional Chinese medicine, which is like a "family-style" relationship. If you offend one of them, you will offend a group of people.

Such a "relative" person cannot be easily offended even by him as a section chief.

So Kong Shuihu was very friendly and patted Lin Sanqi on the shoulder with a smile:

"Okay, okay, Comrade Xiao Lin is obviously a talented person. As the saying goes, a good father will have a good son. It's just that it's a bit of a waste of his talent to work in our purchasing department."

As a parent, Lin Kucan must also say a few words to express his stance at this time:

"Chief Kong, my youngest son is quite special. He was lost for 10 years and has just been found. If there are any shortcomings in the future, please bear with me. If the child is disobedient, you can criticize him harshly. I have absolutely no objection."

Kong Shuihu knew that this was just for listening, and he would be a fool if he took it seriously.

Don’t people always say that the youngest son and the eldest grandson are the lifeblood of the elderly? So, who’s youngest son is not spoiled by his family?
"Okay, Dean Shen and Doctor Lin have handed Comrade Xiao Lin over to me. I will definitely make the best use of him and his resources."

Dean Shen looked at his watch and continued majestically:

"Well, I have a meeting to attend, so I'll leave first. Xiao Qi, work hard and make progress every day. If you have any questions, just ask Chief Kong or me."

"Okay, Dean."

Lin Kucan also patted his son on the shoulder. He was not worried at all that his son would be bullied. After all, the dean and the section chief had already taken care of it.

But Dr. Lin is still too naive. Bullying in the workplace happens all the time. Sometimes, the more people support you, the more people will be dissatisfied.

In the purchasing department's office, a man in his thirties was leaning against the window, looking out through the glass.

"Li Zexu, Zhu Xingchen, damn, come here quickly, it seems like someone from our purchasing department has come again."

The person who spoke was a veteran in the purchasing department, named Yang Xiaoqing. The name sounded elegant, but in fact he had a reckless temper.

However, the purchasing department has to travel long distances for a long time, and personal accidents often happen. The really weak people can't adapt to it, but the unruly and trouble-making people feel like fish in water.

This further encouraged Yang Xiaoqing's arrogance, and he almost regarded himself as a small boss in the purchasing department.

Li Zexu was also in his thirties. He stood up quickly after hearing Yang Xiaoqing's words:

"Hey, this guy is pretty awesome. He was able to get into our Chinese medicine hospital when there was a nationwide layoff. Isn't that Dean Shen?"

Zhu Xingchen is younger, he is also 29 years old, in an era when people start working in their teens, he is considered an old employee. He looked out the window but didn't care:
"It's not good to have new employees. We have to travel all over the country. It's exhausting."

Yang Xiaoqing's eyes turned and he had an idea in mind:

"Old Zhu is right. It seems that we should let this kid run the Northwest District from now on. We can have some free time, haha."

As they were talking, Section Chief Kong had already brought Lin Sanqi into the office, and then clapped his hands twice:
"Come on, everyone, stop what you are doing and let me introduce you to our new colleague from the purchasing department. Her name is Lin Sanqi. Welcome everyone!"

The applause was sparse, and everyone looked at this young, fair-skinned boy with curious eyes.

Why do we emphasize whiteness and tenderness? Because during this natural disaster period, every household was hungry and cold, one person earned money and the whole family spent it, and the food ration was not enough to eat.

Due to long-term hunger and malnutrition, there are few fat people in the country. Almost everyone has a pale face and is skinny and hungry.

In addition, the purchasing department also has business trips, so looking around the entire office, the women all have sallow complexions and the men are all dark-skinned, and there is not a single fair and tender looking person.

Lin Sanqi was the only fair and tender person at the scene, it would be strange if she didn't attract attention.

In this age where being rich is a sin, being fair and tender with a petty bourgeois look is also a sin. It makes people feel uncomfortable at first sight, and everyone knows that a young master has come.

Lin Sanqi doesn’t know what everyone thinks, but he is actually a very open-minded person.

After all, he thought that he came to the purchasing department to make money secretly. He would not compete with his colleagues for salary, nor would he compete with his colleagues for advanced positions. There was no conflict of interest among them, and he should be the kind of person that everyone likes.

"Hello everyone, my name is Lin Sanqi, and I will be a soldier under our Chief Kong from now on. Let me make it clear that I will work wholeheartedly and will not cheat or play tricks. However, I am new here, and I hope that all the big brothers and sisters will take care of me, hehe..."

Zhao Dongying, a 30-year-old young woman, curled her lips after hearing this and whispered to Yang Qiuhong beside her:

"He speaks better than he sings, but his hands are more tender than ours. Do you expect him to work?"

Yang Qiuhong is in her 40s. She shook her head when she heard Zhao Dongying's complaint:
"I heard that he is the youngest son of Dr. Lin Kushen. He has been wandering outside for 10 years. He must have suffered a lot. I just need to take care of him more at work in the future."

"Tsk, I'm only in charge of office work anyway, don't ask me to do business trips."

Section Chief Kong was quite responsible. After the introduction, he began to assign a job to Lin Sanqi.

The purchasing department’s office was a converted large warehouse. Everyone worked in the same big house, and everyone pricked up their ears.

"Comrade Xiaolin, let me introduce the situation of our department. Currently, we have 20 regular employees, which is considered a large department in our hospital. But don't underestimate the number of people. Everyone has a lot of work to do, because we have to bear the cost of the entire hospital's medicinal materials.

Our hospital mainly purchases some common medicines from supply and marketing cooperatives. This is mainly the responsibility of the female comrades in the department, such as Comrade Yang Qiuhong, Comrade Zhao Dongying, Comrade Liang Shuyan, etc. We have to take some care of the female comrades.

However, some rare drugs or medicinal materials with small usage may not be available in the supply and marketing cooperatives, so our hospital needs to go out to purchase them ourselves. This is the work that the male comrades in our purchasing department are mainly responsible for..."
