This Doctor Is Too Wealthy

As he watched the departing couple, Du Heng turned to glance at Kang Zhirong behind him. ”Xiao Kang, don’t just focus on filming; you’re still my assistant. Can’t you show some initiative and lend a hand when needed?”

Then, pointing at Kang Zhirong in annoyance, he added, ”Tell me, if this couple had insisted on kneeling, how would we have dealt with that? How would it sound if word of this got out?”

Kang Zhirong chuckled.

As soon as the couple left, he switched off the camera. ”Dean, Dean Lu and the others are all here, waiting for you in the office,” he said.

Irritated by Kang Zhirong’s slick move, Du Heng shot him a glare, then turned and headed towards his office.

Just as he was about to reach his own office, Kang Zhirong suddenly spoke, ”Dean, the leaders are waiting for you in Dean Lu’s office. Your office has visitors, so it’s not convenient.”

”Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

Du Heng felt completely outplayed by this character, but he still had no choice but to turn in another direction.

Kang Zhirong followed closely behind, continuing to chuckle foolishly.

”...Everyone, the stroke research group will be integrated and moved to our Municipal Maternal and Child Health Hospital. Please feel free to voice any thoughts or opinions.” Du Heng, seated on the central sofa in the office, shared this news about the stroke research group with the hospital’s senior management team.

Everyone knew this was undoubtedly a good thing.

It was a boon for both the hospital and for them personally, so there were no objections or dissenting voices.

Besides, they had just heard this decision was made by Director Zhuo Mingde himself, so they wouldn’t dare object.

Everyone shook their heads and turned their gaze back to Du Heng.

”Does no one have anything to say?” Du Heng asked once more.

Eventually, it was Lu Guangying who spoke. ”Dean, this is excellent news, something we’ve all wished for but couldn’t achieve. Of course, we have no objections. Please tell us your plans so we can implement them promptly and not hinder the research project’s progress.”

Since Jin Juan had been removed, Lu Guangying had been keeping a low profile and had become much more compliant.

Even when her daughter was taking the college entrance examination a few days ago, she had dutifully requested leave to look after her.

If this had been in the past, that woman would have simply failed to show up without a word.

Du Heng smiled. ”Since no one has any objections, I’ll share my thoughts.”

After a light cough, he continued, ”Originally, I was thinking of delaying the departmental adjustments as much as possible, to give everyone some time to consider.

However, now with this stroke research project underway, the Chinese Medicine Department needs a large number of hospital rooms to serve as the ward area for the research project.

Once the group is integrated, existing patients from the other hospitals will not be transferred here. Furthermore, our partner institutions will no longer admit new patients of this type; all such patients will be recommended to our hospital for treatment. The Provincial Department will also coordinate efforts to help find patients from various districts and counties.

Therefore, the departmental adjustments must begin immediately to free up space for the Chinese Medicine Department.

Dean Lu, please take charge of this and push it forward quickly.”

Du Heng had already given everyone a heads-up about this, so they, including Lu Guangying, knew what to expect. Thus, she didn’t demur and simply asked, ”After the merger, the nurses can stay in their original wards, so that’s not a major concern. But what about the doctors?”

”All TCM practitioners will be transferred to the Chinese Medicine Department, and the other doctors will be merged into other departments.” Du Heng paused, his brow furrowing slightly. ”All doctors will have a half-year assessment period.

Those who fail the assessment can choose to resign or be transferred to a different post.

As for the Department Directors, we’ll first ask for their opinions. It would be best if someone is willing to yield their position. If not, then they will compete for the posts. Final adjustments will then be made based on the actual situation.”

Ultimately, some would benefit from this, while others would inevitably be offended; Lu Guangying understood this well.

But Du Heng was now riding a wave of significant momentum; she had to comply whether she wanted to or not.

The importance of the stroke research group now extended beyond just the hospital; it was equally crucial for the city and the provincial authorities.

Anyone who dared to mess this up wouldn’t just be foolish—they’d be courting disaster.

”Okay, after this meeting, I will convene another meeting with the Department Directors to discuss this further,” Lu Guangying agreed instantly.

Du Heng nodded, then turned to the silent union chairman. ”Chairman Zhang, you, Director Zheng, and Director Qiu will also need to put in some effort. Please speak with our colleagues and ensure no unpleasant incidents occur.”

Chairman Zhang of the union didn’t utter a word, simply nodding in agreement.

Du Heng smiled slightly before turning to the Secretary. ”Secretary Huang, there’s something I need your help with.”

Secretary Huang wore a broad smile. ”Just say the word, Dean.”

”The integration of the group is currently being handled by my Teacher, Director Li Jianwei from Provincial First Hospital. He isn’t very familiar with our hospital’s situation, so I’d like to ask you to get involved as well. The goal is to satisfy all parties while safeguarding our hospital’s interests.”

Secretary Huang’s smile deepened.

He didn’t understand medical work, but he excelled at these kinds of administrative matters. Moreover, Du Heng was essentially discussing the distribution of benefits, so he readily agreed.

One must always recognize the current circumstances.

With the arrangements made, and seeing that no one else had anything to add, Du Heng was about to adjourn the meeting.

Just then, Lu Guangying suddenly spoke. ”Dean, I have a suggestion. Would you like to hear it?”

Taken aback, Du Heng glanced at Lu Guangying. ”Dean Lu, please go ahead.”
