Chapter 889: The Job
In the meeting room at the highest floor of Yunli Medical Company, Tian Qi elegantly sat at the armchair and listened to the speech by a senior director while she looked out at the clear sky through the windows.
Her involvement was no longer needed for these specific tasks. When it came to that, Tian Qi only appeared in the meeting room to show her respect and to show that she treated these high-ranking members in the company highly.
The people who were in the meeting knew of Director Tian’s habit, so they would say and do whatever they needed. Although they wanted her attention, they would not show it.
“The company stock has an obvious ascent, so the bank is hinting that we can apply for a special loan… Coincidentally, we also have a demand for other infrastructure…”
“The financial leasing company also received quite a lot of attention from the bank, and a few companies have expressed interest in buying our company’s shares…”
“In recent months, our sales are still increasing tremendously…”
Tian Qi’s phone on the table buzzed suddenly.
Tian Qi had given a clear-cut mission to this phone: if it rang, it must be something important.
Tian Qi turned around decisively, sat properly, and picked up the phone. Then, she showed a smile on her face.
The phone call was from Ling Ran.
This was the first time Ling Ran made a call to her.
Last time, they just chatted on WeChat.
Tian Qi immediately screenshot the image of Ling Ran’s call for her. Then, she could not help but look worried.
‘Did anything happen to Doctor Ling…?’
The people in the meeting room were all stunned when they saw her. They never knew that Director Tian could have such a large variety of expressions on her face…
Tian Qi secretly shook her head at that moment. She then stood up, opened the partition door behind her and shut the door after she entered. Then, she picked up the phone and asked, “Doctor Ling?”
“It’s me.” Ling Ran’s gentle voice was heard through the phone.
Tian Qi’s smile returned. She could not help but think, ‘Doctor Ling’s voice has another quality of pleasantness when heard through the phone.’
“I have a question here, and I feel that perhaps you’re good at it…” Ling Ran’s voice came through again and he said, “Do you have time to talk right now?”
“Doctor Ling, you’re so polite,” Tian Qi subconsciously said what was in her mind. She quickly added. “There’s no other meaning to it. I just feel that you’re even more polite when you make a call. Um… what’s the problem?”
Ling Ran smiled from the other side of the phone. He had actually deliberately learned how to make calls before. After all, the telephone was still considered something new and luxurious when he was young. It was a skill on how to use the payphone at the convenient store in Lower Groove and communicate effectively in a manner that would allow him to save time and money.
Ling Ran then described the situation of Xue Guixiao’s family in a simple way once he thought briefly about how he learned to make a call in the past. He naturally did not mention the system. He said, “The five-year survival rate of stage 3 colon cancer can be more than 80%, and if it’s performed by the department director of the General Surgery Department, the rate will be higher. Therefore, the patient’s financial problem should not be an obstacle to his recovery. Poverty due to illness should not happen too. I want to try looking for a suitable job for them to solve this problem. What do you think?”
Besides her excitement, Tian Qi was very serious. She pondered about this slightly and asked, “So, Doctor Ling, you don’t want to provide them direct financial aid, but want to give them a job, right?”
Ling Ran answered honestly, “I haven’t thought about it in great detail yet. Do you have any suggestions?”
Tian Qi heard Ling Ran’s question and became happier. She blinked and said, “I think directly providing them financial aid is not the best solution, especially based on the patient’s condition now. Treatment should still be their first priority, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then, we’ll think of giving them permanent work.” When Tian Qi talked about this, she said in a largely experienced manner, “Working is very important, actually. Not only does the person receive income, but also it gives him a sense of accomplishment and that he is valuable. Let me think… Based on his qualifications, what about working for a warehouse management on a ranch? If he works on my family’s ranch, the couple should have an annual salary of 1,000,000 RMB. With other bonuses and benefits, working for one and a half years should allow them to solve some of their problems…”
Ling Ran hesitated a while. He actually just wanted some suggestions pointing him to a direction, but the position that Tian Qi offered seemed to actually be quite decent…
Tian Qi thought it was not favorable to Ling Ran, so she stopped for a few seconds before she quickly said, “How about we let him manage a shop? Based on what I remember, the souvenir shop in the sports complex run by my family is outsourced to other people, so perhaps I can get a shop for them.
“If they want to have chances for promotion, they can work in a motorcade. But the main task in a motorcade is to learn, so the starting salary is lower than other jobs…
“Naturally, we can consider their interests and hobbies. If they are good at any particular field, I think I can customize a job for them… ”
“Ahem.” Ling Ran interrupted her and said, “I don’t quite have a clear understanding about these. Let me ask the patient’s family…”
“You don’t need to.” When she started talking about others, Tian Qi’s mind became active. She said, “Too many options may make them uncomfortable. Let me ask Zuo Cidian, then we’ll see how to handle this.”
“Alright, sorry for troubling you.” Ling Ran trusted Tian Qi very much, so he immediately agreed to it.
Tian Qi thought, narrowed her eyes, and said, “Doctor Ling, since I’ve helped you, shouldn’t you treat me to a meal?”
Ling Ran thought and asked, “What about Shao family’s restaurant?”
“No problem, then it’s settled.” Tian Qi immediately agreed to it before she asked again, “How about tomorrow night?”
“Alright.”
After she ended the call, Tian Qi held her phone and took a deep breath.
Then, she walked out of the partitioned room. The executives in the meeting room all looked to Tian Qi.
“Carry on.” Tian Qi waved her hand and sat in her chair again.
The meeting resumed, and everyone became tense but lively again.
…..
At Yun Hua Hospital, Ling Ran put his phone down, relieved.
If he were asked to perform surgery, he was still very confident that he could succeed and was willing to perform it. However, when it was about the financial problems of the patient’s family, he was completely lost.
Zuo Cidian sat beside him. He watched Ling Ran put down his phone, then looked at Ling Ran with eyes filled with emotions.
Ling Ran looked at Zuo Cidian.
Zuo Cidian said in a low voice, “Um… Doctor Ling, I accidentally heard that she said a post with an annual salary of 1,000,000 RMB?”
Ling Ran nodded.
“That’s too much. They don’t need that.” Zuo Cidian gasped in admiration and said, “A job with a slightly higher monthly salary and a more flexible schedule will help them a lot. There’s no need for them to have such a high salary.”
“Okay.” Ling Ran gave a noncommittal reply.
“It’d be troublesome if their salary is too high. Let me think about it.” As Zuo Cidian said this, he raised his head and looked around before he said in a low voice again, “That job for 1,000,000 RMB doesn’t require them to sell their kidneys, right? If it’s not a job that sells kidneys or makes the workers hold their back urine, I think I can take up the job too.”
