Chapter 209 187: There Are Always Surprises

Zhao Feiyang heard that Xu Chunliang was in the Hematology Department and instructed him not to leave for now. He himself was heading over to visit Tong Guangsheng.Although the cooperation with Tong Guangsheng had not been achieved, Changxing still wanted to establish a foothold on Weishan Island, and maintaining a good relationship with this man was essential.

Xu Chunliang waited for half an hour until Zhao Feiyang arrived, accompanied by Lin Yansheng, the director of the hospital office, and Jin Yonghao, the dean of the Weishan Island Branch.

Jin Yonghao was also a bit helpless. His wife was still in the orthopedic department, yet due to his duties, he had to appear since he was the dean of the branch, and Tong Guangsheng had been transferred from Weishan Island Hospital.

Jin Yonghao hadn't expected such an event to happen right after leaving the hospital. He exchanged a look with Xu Chunliang, and both understood each other's thoughts.

Yao Zemin, the director of Hematology, naturally had to be in the company as well. He briefed the condition of Tong Guangsheng once more, aware that Tong Guangsheng was a very important patient. Since his emergency admission last night, there had been a steady stream of leaders visiting him, and now even the big boss had come personally.

Thus, Yao Zemin specifically instructed that no other patients should be arranged in Tong Guangsheng's room, and that the bed doctors and nursing staff should pay attention to their attitude.

No society can achieve absolute equality among people; the respect one garners in society is usually proportional to their wealth and social status.

Zhao Feiyang had people send flowers and nutritional products, warmly shaking hands with Tong Guangsheng.

Tong Guangsheng felt a bit embarrassed: "Dean Zhao, I'm sorry for causing trouble for your hospital because of my illness." He was well aware that Zhao Feiyang didn't have a deep friendship with him and understood the reason for the courtesy but was still moved by the treatment. Who doesn't care about face?

Zhao Feiyang smiled and said, "President Tong, we are old friends. By coming to our hospital, you are expressing your trust in Changxing. I have arranged for Changxing's top expert team to serve you, and I am confident that you will recover soon."

Tong Guangsheng replied, "Thank you, Dean Zhao, and thank Changxing. I'm not good with words, but from now on, Xianhong Farm and Changxing are brother units. Wherever you need me, Dean Zhao, just ask."

Zhao Feiyang publicly introduced Tong Guangsheng's heroic history and instructed Yao Zemin to take good care of this veteran hero.

Xu Chunliang noticed Shu Yuanhang wasn't there, wondering where he had slipped off to. It was puzzling how he clearly cared about his father but still pretended not to.

Zhao Feiyang stayed for less than ten minutes and then left, as having too many people wasn't conducive to Tong Guangsheng's rest.

Outside, Zhao Feiyang asked Jin Yonghao, "Old Jin, how's your wife?"

Jin Yonghao was initially surprised that Zhao Feiyang knew about it, but was touched by his concern: "It's nothing serious. The splint is set, and she will be discharged after a couple of days of IV.

Zhao Feiyang turned to Xu Chunliang and said, "Old Jin has it tough. His son is taking the high school entrance exam next year, and now his wife had an accident. All the family pressure falls on him. You need to take on more responsibilities at the branch in the future."

Jin Yonghao had originally wanted to request a transfer back to the headquarters, but Zhao Feiyang mentioned this in public, making it awkward to bring up. There was a tinge of embarrassment on his face because staying as the branch dean would mean continuing to work on the island.

Xu Chunliang said, "Rest assured, Dean Zhao, I will manage the branch's work well and will not disappoint you."

Zhao Feiyang smiled appreciatively, "Xiaoxu is a model of our hospital's young cadres, capable, courageous, and responsible!" He used three words to praise Xu Chunliang's work to the greatest extent.

The accompanying staff nodded repeatedly in agreement. Although some of them didn't genuinely agree, what the leaders said was always right.

Zhao Feiyang then asked, "Old Jin, do you think Xiaoxu can handle the work over there?"

Jin Yonghao replied, "Comrade Chunliang's work performance is evident to all." Suddenly seeing hope again, he realized, disregarding personal motives, that Xu Chunliang was indeed very capable. Only he could handle the mess at Weishan Island, which had been proven.

Xu Chunliang thought to himself that in order to leave Weishan Island, one would go to any lengths. Even if it meant stepping on him, he had been mentally prepared that Zhao Feiyang didn't intend to let him return anytime soon. It didn't matter to him where he worked; Weishan Island was relatively free, and there was also Mei Ru Xue there.

Zhao Feiyang said, "You can come back temporarily to serve as the outpatient branch secretary. Secretary Chen has mentioned you several times and appreciates you greatly."

Jin Yonghao was overjoyed. Although he didn't have a deep connection with Zhao Feiyang, he and Secretary Chen Xing'an were neighbors in the same community, interacting frequently. He had pleaded with Chen Xing'an to help transfer him back to headquarters. Chen Xing'an had indeed mentioned it to Zhao Feiyang several times, but nothing had come of it. This time, Zhao Feiyang finally agreed.

The position of outpatient branch secretary carried no real power, but Jin Yonghao didn't care. He wasn't ambitious in career terms; his greatest hope was to manage his family well. At present, nothing was more important than his son's education.

Zhao Feiyang said, "You and Xiaoxu can handle the work handover, Xiaoxu, do a good job!"

Xu Chunliang smiled. To him, it wasn't a bad thing. Would this be considered a promotion from Zhao Feiyang? If it was a promotion, there was no direct appointment as the branch dean; if not, he was entrusted with the branch's work, which was to grant authority without a title.

This was Zhao Feiyang's usual tactic. When he was in the medical affairs office, he did the same. For Xu Chunliang, it was nothing new. This tactic was like giving you just enough to eat but never enough to be full, keeping you constantly hungry.

Xu Chunliang had never had a strong desire for officialdom, but he found the intricacies within the system quite interesting. Did Zhao Feiyang really think he could play him like a pawn? Was he too clever for his good or did he think Xu Chunliang was too stupid?

Zhao Feiyang indeed had another move. He arranged for Tan Haiyan, the former outpatient branch secretary, to be appointed as secretary at the branch. Naturally, this series of personnel changes was announced through Secretary Chen Xing'an.

Chen Xing'an saw that Zhao Feiyang was playing a big chess game, extending his reach into his domain of control.

An interesting situation emerged at the Weishan Island Branch: there was no proper dean, only a deputy dean and a secretary.

Duan Yuanhong from the Huayuan Group had already arrived in Dongzhou, bringing with him a professional asset assessment team. The team was stationed at Changxing, starting a comprehensive evaluation of Changxing's operational status.

All Changxing's employees sensed an impending storm, with many even beginning to fear their iron rice bowls might turn into porcelain ones, susceptible to shattering with a slight misstep.

Zhao Feiyang emphasized at the hospital's weekly meeting that nothing was certain yet and that they had similarly dispatched a team to Huayuan Group to investigate its operational situation.

The cooperation between the two sides would inevitably take place under the premise of openness and transparency, under the supervision of various leadership levels.

Before the final evaluation report was released, there was no specific cooperation plan. In any case, everyone was assured that the hospital would prioritize the interests of its staff and Changxing, ensuring that nobody's interests would be compromised.

Zhao Feiyang's public statement did not allay the internal anxiety within Changxing. There was still unrest among the employees, and recent times had seen a surge in complaints in the style management office and the medical department. Some people who had never been favored and were uncertain about their future had already begun planning to leave Changxing.

Zhao Feiyang understood that any reform had to go through growing pains and that it was crucial to remain calm and patient during such times. He seized the opportunity to observe who could be utilized and who needed to be discarded.

His ideal version of Changxing was a well-coordinated war machine, where a simple wave of his hand would unify all employees toward a common goal. However, he hadn't anticipated that the growing pains would arrive so early. Celestial Sea Construction ran into trouble due to violations of safety regulations, resulting in an electrician being electrocuted to death while renovating on the twelfth floor.

The frustrating part was that this electrician did not have an electrician's license. According to the contract they signed, the incident had nothing to do with Changxing, and Changxing was also a victim.

However, the deceased's family disagreed. They displayed wreaths at Changxing's entrance, and the deceased's coworkers hung two white banners with black characters outside the under-construction hospital ward building during the night.

In recent years, such incidents had been common: whenever a patient died, the family would cause a commotion, placing wreaths and setting up mourning halls at the hospital. At that time, the related laws were not yet mature, leaving the hospital with no way to file a complaint.

Now, such actions are classified as "hospital disturbances" and are legislatively managed, and hospitals have legal recourses with zero tolerance for such behaviors. More importantly, this time the perpetrators got the wrong target; the issue lay with the construction firm's safety management, which had nothing to do with Changxing.
