Chapter 226 204: Master of Painting Big Pies

Zhao Feiyang publicly promoted Xu Chunliang, no wonder Lin Yansheng specifically notified him to return for the hospital weekly meeting this time.As soon as the meeting ended, many people came over to congratulate Xu Chunliang.

The closest ones, Yu Xiangdong and Wu Ruiying, were the first to offer their congratulations. In any organization, there are hierarchies. When Pan Hongwei hosted a dinner last time, Xu Chunliang was still just a nominal deputy director of the branch hospital without deputy section-level treatment. Although people were polite to him at that time, it was because he was considered Zhao Feiyang's favorite, not because they thought he was qualified to be on equal footing with them.

It's like Zhao Feiyang's driver, Liu Haiguang. Even the deputy directors treated him politely, but behind his back, everyone looked down on him, thinking he was just a driver.

Xu Chunliang, with only a high school diploma, managed to get into Changxing and even got a formal position. Although it was part of the compensation conditions for the demolition of Huichun Hall, the truth is often not believed. The widely spread version is that he got in through Gao Xinhua's connections.

And Gao Xinhua and Zhao Feiyang had an inseparable relationship, so this lad was able to gain prominence in a short time and receive promotions repeatedly.

When everyone realizes you have a special background, they usually selectively ignore your personal abilities.

Xu Chunliang is currently in such an awkward situation. Even within Changxing, no one believes he was promoted to this position because of his outstanding work abilities.

The glow of the background is enough to overshadow all your work achievements. In fact, the role of the background is more important than your abilities.

Enjoying deputy section-level treatment, in a little over a month, it will be the year-end assessment. There's a good chance his deputy section level will become official, and Zhao Feiyang personally confirmed Xu Chunliang's title as the branch hospital director, which is the official announcement.

Procurement Office Director Huang Liancheng joked, "Dean Xiao Xu, you owe us a treat." He is also a background expert. Shortly after he took the position of Procurement Office Director, his various shortcomings became apparent, and his work ability was too poor.

Zhao Feiyang was quite dissatisfied with him, but considering his background, he reluctantly retained him.

Public Relations Department Director Pan Hongwei said, "I'll arrange it, last time the lamb restaurant was hosted by Director Xu." Last time, a group of middle-level cadres was arranged by him, under the pretense of welcoming Xu Chunliang, but in the end, it was Ding Si who paid the bill. The guy was Xu Chunliang's connection.

Xu Chunliang said, "I'll handle it. Let's find a time, preferably on the weekend. I'm usually in the countryside and only come back to Dongzhou during my rest time."

Security Section Head Yu Xiangdong said, "The countryside is great. Someday we should take a day trip to Dean Xiao Xu's place."

Wu Ruiying immediately responded, and Xu Chunliang said it wouldn't be an issue, just let him know in advance once a time was arranged.

At this moment, Office Director Lin Yansheng came over to notify him that Dean Zhao Feiyang wanted to meet him after the meeting.

Xu Chunliang arrived at Zhao Feiyang's office. Zhao Feiyang was on the phone and gestured for him to find a place to sit, treating him like one of his own.

Xu Chunliang was quite satisfied with Zhao Feiyang's performance today. After dangling the carrot for so long, he finally delivered this time, not in vain for the many things Xu had done for him.

Xu Chunliang sat on the sofa, and Lin Yansheng made him a cup of tea before stepping out and closing the door.

Xu Chunliang found that Lin Yansheng was very similar to Liu Dengke, but he spoke less than the latter and seemed more delicate. Perhaps all Office Directors need a bit of the demeanor of a Grand Eunuch.

Zhao Feiyang spent more than ten minutes on the call. From his demeanor, it was clear he was talking to some leader, which also showed that he didn't see Xu Chunliang as an outsider, not minding him seeing the humble side of himself.

After hanging up, Zhao Feiyang sighed, "Endless meetings, endless reports, really a headache."

Xu Chunliang said, "Dean Zhao, I feel you're enjoying it."

Zhao Feiyang laughed heartily, leaned back in his chair, and moved his neck side to side: "How is it? Satisfied with your current work?"

Xu Chunliang thought you might as well not have asked that question, as if giving me such a great favor. Zhao Feiyang, do you think so little of me, that just a branch hospital director title and a slight promotion make me eternally grateful?

However, Xu Chunliang replied, "Dean Zhao is too kind to me, making me feel undeserving and apprehensive."

Zhao Feiyang gestured with a book, "Stop acting here, kid, your ambition is written all over your face?"

Xu Chunliang was taken aback, ambition? Do I have that? After thinking it over, perhaps it's because of his wild looks, though not wild, more like rebellious.

Zhao Feiyang said, "In a publicly owned hospital, you must be cautious in everything you do. Numerous eyes are watching from behind, and I'm not saying that's bad, but excessive supervision leads to inefficiency. Take, for example, your appointment; young people like you with ability and courage should be used heavily. If it were a stock-owned hospital, I could very well appoint you as vice director against all odds, but in the current system, I have to be cautious. From deputy section-level to section-level, subsection, you want to be a vice director, you have to follow the rules step by step."

Xu Chunliang smiled internally; Zhao Feiyang is really fond of painting a bigger picture, just after giving a small one, he's painting a bigger one now. Do you really think I want to be a vice director? Never mind vice director, even if it were a director, it's not something I hold in high regard.

Zhao Feiyang noticed his silence, thinking he absorbed it all: "Honestly speaking, do you want to be a vice director?"

Xu Chunliang said, "I want to be the dean."

This time it was Zhao Feiyang's turn to be stunned, then he burst into laughter, "Alright, alright, a soldier who doesn't want to be a marshal is not a good soldier. But you'll have to wait a few years. I have to see your performance." The implication is that he's still enjoying his own role.

Xu Chunliang said, "What I mean is that I want to be a good dean of the branch first. Dean Zhao, don't be afraid, the timing isn't right, I haven't thought about seizing power yet."

Zhao Feiyang laughed even more gleefully, "You young rascal, don't think that I'm all glamourous, but as the saying goes, 'wanting to wear the crown, must bear its weight.'"

Xu Chunliang said, "I get it, only seeing the thief eat meat without seeing the thief get beaten." After saying that, he quickly apologized, "I spoke out of turn."

Zhao Feiyang said, "Crude words but the truth is there, that's the reasoning."

He picked up a business card on the table, "Have you dealt with Zhang Hengyang from Da Heng Group?"

Xu Chunliang nodded, "He is the head of Da Heng East China Division. Back then, he came up with ideas for the branch and even roped in Secretary Kong Xiangsheng from Hu Shan Town to back him. To crush his scheme, I racked my brains and exhausted my energy."

"Alright, alright, I know you have made great contributions, no need to brag about yourself. If you keep it up, you'll end up like a martyr going all the way to the end."

"If I don't say it, I'm worried the leadership won't know."

Zhao Feiyang said, "I can see clearly. Zhang Hengyang proposed cooperation with Changxing to build a health and wellness town."

Xu Chunliang said, "He still hasn't given up on the land of our branch, has he?"

Zhao Feiyang smiled and nodded. This kid is indeed smart. He asked Xu Chunliang to share his views.

Xu Chunliang said, "Actually, this matter is also quite simple. The key is to see how much Da Heng is willing to pay. As long as they're willing to invest, their inclusion would be even better. They can help boost the price. Isn't the Huayuan Group trying to press our price down? Now we can let them see that we're not the only ones interested in Changxing."

Zhao Feiyang had the same intention, but Huayuan Group won't be easily fooled either. Da Heng does not have any plans to deeply cultivate the big health field. Their cooperation intent is limited to the Weishan Island Branch.

However, Zhao Feiyang needs a full-scale cooperation, not just one project on Weishan Island, but also the construction of the High-Tech Zone Stock Hospital and the second-phase renovation of Changxing Hospital.

Zhao Feiyang instructed Xu Chunliang to have more contact with Da Heng Group in the future and make sure to create news.

Xu Chunliang noticed that Zhao Feiyang seemed a bit nervous. He must be worried about changes in the cooperation with Huayuan Group, hence using these tactics to provoke Huayuan. If it were Xu Chunliang handling this situation, the more critical the time, the more he would hold steady. The more proactive you are, the more you reveal your inner shortcomings.

Xu Chunliang took some time to visit Tong Guangsheng. Tong Guangsheng's condition had recently stabilized, Shu Yuanhang returned to Penang a couple of days ago, and the doctor recommended that Tong Guangsheng and his son undergo an HLA bone marrow matching test. Before Shu Yuanhang could express his opinion, Tong Guangsheng resolutely refused.

The main method of bone marrow transplantation involves drawing blood respectively from the patient and the donor to perform high-resolution HLA matching. High resolution typically refers to ten loci: A, B, C, D2, and DQ5, with each locus having two alleles, thus needing to look at ten loci.

When half of the loci match, for instance between parents and children, it's considered half-matched, while fully matched is ten out of ten, completely identical.

The chance of full matching between siblings is one in four. Tong Guangsheng had two older brothers who have passed away, so this possibility is excluded. His situation can only use the half-matched transplantation method.

However, Tong Guangsheng refused the doctor's suggestion. He didn't want his son to think he had been brought back just to help with the bone marrow transplant. Shu Yuanhang did not take the initiative either. After stabilizing Tong Guangsheng's condition, he left without saying goodbye, which left Tong Guangsheng quite disappointed, feeling his son still blamed him for past events.

The only option left was to do a matching screening in the bone marrow bank. The China Bone Marrow Bank now has 1.2 million cases and is increasing annually, so the probability of a successful match is high.

Although Tong Guangsheng's condition is stabilizing, he is still physically weak and mentally downcast, but he doesn't seem to be in a hurry to conduct the matching test.

When Xu Chunliang came to see him, Tong Guangsheng was hiding on the balcony, secretly smoking.

Xu Chunliang deliberately said, "Uncle Tong, smoking here incurs a fine."

Tong Guangsheng quickly put out the cigarette, cheerfully walked back to the ward, "Can't drink, can't smoke, I don't feel like a human being anymore."

Xu Chunliang joked, "Uncle Tong, are you thinking about women?"

Tong Guangsheng burst into laughter, pointing at him and teasing, calling him disrespectful. That kid is really imaginative. It's not like he meant missing a woman's presence.

Despite being in the hospital, Tong Guangsheng was very much up to date on matters concerning Weishan Island. He even knew about the Huayuan Group's inspection team being beaten up. Strategizing from the tent, winning battles from afar, is an essential quality for every successful entrepreneur.
