Chapter 202 180: Future Uncertain

Chen Xing'an originally thought he could quietly retire, but with the arrival of the new dean Zhao Feiyang, he soon realized it was not possible, he couldn't escape it, he would inevitably face a confrontation during his term.This confrontation might occur between Changxing and the Huayuan Group, might occur between the leaders and the masses, or might even occur within the party and government.

He didn't want to get involved, but the impending reform forced him to intervene. Public-private partnership, a constantly controversial issue since it appeared, unexpectedly emerged at Changxing during his tenure.

His principle in handling affairs was to aim for no errors even if no achievements are made. However, when the development of the era places Changxing at a crossroads, everyone on this vehicle faces a decision.

No one knows whether Changxing will follow the correct path in the future. Before entering the intersection, you can pretend nothing has happened and continue to drift along, or you can choose to get off in time like some people. Unfortunately, Changxing is destined to be Chen Xing'an's last stop, he can only ride this vehicle to the terminal station.

Chen Xing'an didn't just realize there was a problem now. Long before Zhao Feiyang forced the vice dean Yan Huaiyi away from Changxing, he had already realized that the helmsman of Changxing was firmly advancing towards his predetermined direction.

Chen Xing'an had always been observing, Gao Xinhua was also within his scope of observation. He realized that although Gao Xinhua was heavily utilized by Zhao Feiyang, he was not putting in his utmost effort like others. With a little thought, he guessed the subtlety.

Was Gao Xinhua, like himself, worried about something? Perhaps rejecting this aggressive reform, or perhaps fearing becoming cannon fodder on Zhao Feiyang's path forward.

Gao Xinhua saw through Chen Xing'an's intention, although he did not agree with Zhao Feiyang's methods, he still consistently defended Zhao Feiyang in front of others: "Secretary Chen, are you overthinking it? Dean Zhao is merely cooperating with Huayuan Group, it's not like selling us out."

Since the topic was already unveiled, Chen Xing'an no longer needed to beat around the bush: "I heard a piece of news, the city is considering using Changxing as a pilot for medical system reform."

Gao Xinhua said: "Wasn't there already such a statement a few years ago?"

Chen Xing'an shook his head, this time is different. Previously, Gu Houyi was supporting us, and he wouldn't sacrifice the interests of the vast Changxing people. Gu Houyi also advocated reform, but his reform was under the premise that the existing system remains unchanged. According to what Chen Xing'an has learned, Zhao Feiyang has proposed the concept of a joint stock hospital to the city.

The future joint stock hospital is a modern comprehensive hospital in collaboration with Changxing and Huayuan Group, located in the High-Tech Zone, the government provided the medical construction land, the subsequent investment should mainly be completed by Huayuan Group, as Changxing's accounts have no extra money to invest in this new hospital.

Since it's a joint stock, there will be an issue of share proportion distribution. If the government holds the majority, then Changxing is the decision maker, if Huayuan Group holds the majority of shares, then Huayuan Group is in lead. It's already clarified that the government will not provide much fiscal support.

Chen Xing'an said: "I heard that the main investment of this new hospital will be from Huayuan Group."

Gao Xinhua nodded, he also heard about it, and as long as the cooperation is successful, it will definitely be in this manner, the High-Tech Zone government has already provided the construction land for free and is unlikely to invest further.

Changxing's project is important in the High-Tech Zone but not the most important. The High-Tech Zone has already given significant support to them, and Changxing itself cannot afford to contribute money, so the main investment for the new hospital can only come from Huayuan Group.

Chen Xing'an said: "Have you thought about what kind of position Changxing will be in the new hospital if Huayuan Group holds the majority of shares? There's another question, Huayuan Group has the money, High-Tech Zone government has the land, what does our Changxing have? What do we use to invest? What will our eventual proportion be?"

"Currently under evaluation, the specific work is handled by Comrade Geng Wenxiu."

"Evaluate what? They are evaluating the net assets of our Changxing Hospital! Why evaluate the net assets of the hospital? Is it to convert everything of Changxing into shares?"

Gao Xinhua had thought about it but always believed that everything at Changxing Headquarters will remain unchanged, the flames of Zhao Feiyang's reform will not burn them.

Chen Xing'an's words made his heart sink, would Zhao Feiyang be so radical? The net assets of the hospital, the operation of Changxing in recent years has not been good, net assets would not exceed three hundred million.

Gao Xinhua made such a judgment based on evidence; he saw the bank's evaluation report on Changxing.

Chen Xing'an said: "Comrade Xinhua, any changes in Changxing relate to the welfare of over two thousand employees, we must be careful." When he mentioned two thousand people, he included retired employees.

Gao Xinhua said: "Secretary Chen, have you talked about these words with Dean Zhao?"

Chen Xing'an said: "I don't know Feiyang Comrade's real thoughts, I just hope the reform doesn't gamble with the interests of all employees. Once it infringes on the vital interests of employees, the consequences could be dire."

Gao Xinhua realized that Chen Xing'an intended to pass the message to Zhao Feiyang through him, the old fox still did not want to face a direct confrontation with Zhao Feiyang, probably due to the current cooperation charter being unclear.

Chen Xing'an was only speculating, and Zhao Feiyang had not explicitly stated that Changxing Hospital would also be assessed and valued into shares.

Gao Xinhua believed Zhao Feiyang wouldn't dare such boldness, water can carry a boat, likewise can overturn it, just as Chen Xing'an said, once employee's vital interests are infringed, his moment of crisis will arrive.

Various rumors about Changxing's future have already quietly spread, even including the Weishan Island Branch, with many medical staff discussing whether they would remain public or become private in the future.

Some even specifically sought out Xu Chunliang to inquire, Zhang Haitao being one of the most proactive, having heard a saying that Changxing would soon start layoffs, dismissing some contract workers, having finally managed to secure the position of logistics manager at the branch, his seat not even warmed, naturally he doesn't want to be laid off.

Xu Chunliang found it amusing, he hadn't even heard about it from headquarters, where did Zhang Haitao get this news?

Zhang Haitao told Xu Chunliang that everyone is saying that after Changxing and Huayuan Group cooperate, it will become privatized, and the original employees will be transferred from institutional to corporate staffing.

Xu Chunliang could guarantee these are all rumors.

During lunch in the canteen, Xu Chunliang encountered the old expert Miao Xiujun, who told him about a matter. Tong Guangsheng's lab results showed elevated white blood cells, elevated neutrophils, decreased platelets. Examination showed enlarged liver and spleen, enlarged submandibular lymph nodes, and knock pain in the sternum and tibia, not excluding the possibility of chronic myelogenous leukemia, needing a bone marrow puncture for confirmation.

Due to limited conditions here, she recommended going to better-equipped headquarters promptly. Based on current results, there should be no mistake.

Xu Chunliang was startled upon hearing it, having noticed earlier when visiting Tong Guangsheng that his complexion was not good, he realized that Tong Guangsheng's condition was not very good, but he didn't expect it to be this bad.

At this time, Wang Jinwu made a call, Miao Xiujun did not dare reveal results directly to Tong Guangsheng, as his relative column mentioned Wang Jinwu, so she informed him first.

Wang Jinwu contacted Xu Chunliang with the purpose of helping to conceal this matter.

Tong Guangsheng's son Shu Yuanhang will come over tomorrow, lacking his contact information, they could only wait to tell Shu Yuanhang when meeting him.

Wang Jinwu told Xu Chunliang that Tong Guangsheng has no other family than this son; since his former wife left, he has remained single to this day.

Xu Chunliang always had a good impression of Tong Guangsheng, recalling that Tong was a comrade in arms of Gao Xinhua, perhaps Gao Xinhua was more informed about his family situation, so he told him about it.

Upon hearing this, Gao Xinhua immediately became anxious, urging Xu Chunliang to quickly persuade Tong Guangsheng to come to Changxing Headquarters, to undergo a comprehensive examination promptly, this disease cannot afford delay.

Xu Chunliang explained the situation; given Tong Guangsheng's stubbornness if he knew he had leukemia, it was uncertain what his reaction would be, plus with his son coming to Weishan Island to meet him, he was unlikely to leave before they met.

After thinking it over, Gao Xinhua agreed to temporarily conceal this from Tong Guangsheng, himself being held up due to project work, he aimed to visit Weishan Island tomorrow to try persuading him.

Recalling Zhao Feiyang's promise today, Xu Chunliang made a special trip to the ward and conveyed Zhao Feiyang's greetings to Tong Guangsheng, only partially relayeding Zhao's words.

When Zhao Feiyang promised to exempt all fees for Tong Guangsheng, he hadn't yet found out about his leukemia. Treating leukemia would surely incur enormous costs, which Tong Guangsheng might not endure, if Zhao were aware of this situation, he might not be willing to sign for exemption.

Therefore, Xu Chunliang first waived the expenses incurred at the branch, and Tong consented with a polite gesture, focusing more on maintaining face rather than money.

Xu Chunliang originally intended to free diagnosis for Tong, but considering Tong's aversion towards Chinese medicine, he refrained from such a thankless task, planning to find an opportunity to check him later.

There are already curative methods for leukemia nowadays, besides radiation therapy and chemotherapy, one can also perform a hematopoietic stem cell transplant through bone marrow matching.

Owing to his son's impending arrival tomorrow, Tong Guangsheng was very excited and appeared to have improved significantly, if not feigning illness for sympathy, he would have already been discharged.

Upon hearing that Tong Guangsheng might have leukemia, Wang Jinwu became particularly tense, as if Tong could have sudden accidents at any moment, apparently holding deep affection for him, their teacher-student bond more like father and son.

Wang Jinwu planned to stay at the hospital tonight to provide company, ready to handle any emergencies, but in fact, Tong Guangsheng's condition remains overall stable and doesn't require attending company.
