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 Tianâs habit, so they would say and do whatever they needed. Although they wanted her attention, they would not show it.
âThe 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 infrastructureâ¦â
âThe financial leasing company also received quite a lot of attention from the bank, and a few companies have expressed interest in buying our companyâs sharesâ¦â
âIn recent months, our sales are still increasing tremendouslyâ¦â
Tian Qiâs 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 Ranâs call for her. Then, she could not help but look worried.
âDid anything happen to Doctor Lingâ¦?â
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 faceâ¦
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, âDoctor Ling?â
âItâs me.â Ling Ranâs gentle voice was heard through the phone.
Tian Qiâs smile returned. She could not help but think, âDoctor Lingâs voice has another quality of pleasantness when heard through the phone.â
âI have a question here, and I feel that perhaps youâre good at itâ¦â Ling Ranâs voice came through again and he said, âDo you have time to talk right now?â
âDoctor Ling, youâre so polite,â Tian Qi subconsciously said what was in her mind. She quickly added. âThereâs no other meaning to it. I just feel that youâre even more polite when you make a call. Um⦠whatâs the problem?â
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 Guixiaoâs 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, âThe five-year survival rate of stage 3 colon cancer can be more than 80%, and if itâs performed by the department director of the General Surgery Department, the rate will be higher. Therefore, the patientâs 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?â
Besides her excitement, Tian Qi was very serious. She pondered about this slightly and asked, âSo, Doctor Ling, you donât want to provide them direct financial aid, but want to give them a job, right?â
Ling Ran answered honestly, âI havenât thought about it in great detail yet. Do you have any suggestions?â
Tian Qi heard Ling Ranâs question and became happier. She blinked and said, âI think directly providing them financial aid is not the best solution, especially based on the patientâs condition now. Treatment should still be their first priority, right?â
âYes.â
âThen, weâll think of giving them permanent work.â When Tian Qi talked about this, she said in a largely experienced manner, âWorking 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 familyâs 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 problemsâ¦â
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 decentâ¦
Tian Qi thought it was not favorable to Ling Ran, so she stopped for a few seconds before she quickly said, âHow 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.
âIf 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 jobsâ¦
âNaturally, we can consider their interests and hobbies. If they are good at any particular field, I think I can customize a job for them⦠â
âAhem.â Ling Ran interrupted her and said, âI donât quite have a clear understanding about these. Let me ask the patientâs familyâ¦â
âYou donât need to.â When she started talking about others, Tian Qiâs mind became active. She said, âToo many options may make them uncomfortable. Let me ask Zuo Cidian, then weâll see how to handle this.â
âAlright, sorry for troubling you.â Ling Ran trusted Tian Qi very much, so he immediately agreed to it.
Tian Qi thought, narrowed her eyes, and said, âDoctor Ling, since Iâve helped you, shouldnât you treat me to a meal?â
Ling Ran thought and asked, âWhat about Shao familyâs restaurant?â
âNo problem, then itâs settled.â Tian Qi immediately agreed to it before she asked again, âHow about tomorrow night?â
âAlright.â
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.
âCarry on.â Tian Qi waved her hand and sat in her chair again.
The meeting resumed, and everyone became tense but lively again.
â¦â¦
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 patientâs 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, âUm⦠Doctor Ling, I accidentally heard that she said a post with an annual salary of 1,000,000 RMB?â
Ling Ran nodded.
âThatâs too much. They donât need that.â Zuo Cidian gasped in admiration and said, âA job with a slightly higher monthly salary and a more flexible schedule will help them a lot. Thereâs no need for them to have such a high salary.â
âOkay.â Ling Ran gave a noncommittal reply.
âItâd be troublesome if their salary is too high. Let me think about it.â As Zuo Cidian said this, he raised his head and looked around before he said in a low voice again, âThat job for 1,000,000 RMB doesnât require them to sell their kidneys, right? If itâs not a job that sells kidneys or makes the workers hold their back urine, I think I can take up the job too.â
