Chapter 110: Old Tang Has Been Promoted to Vice President!
7:00 PM.
A family of three stared at the television, watching the "Local Evening News" on the general channel.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Tang Yu finally appeared on the screen!
Tang Yu himself was not satisfied with the effect of the interview!
"Why does it feel like I'm speaking without any energy? My condition wasn't that serious!"
Tang Yu has a perfectionist personality.
He demands perfection in performing surgeries, and he is equally meticulous about other things.
For a surgeon, especially a neurosurgeon, a tiny flaw can mean a human life.
Tang Ye smiled and explained, "This was artistically processed to achieve a sentimental effect!"
Tang Yu curled his lip and said indignantly, "It should be based on facts. If a doctor is too fragile, how can he bring a sense of security to patients?"
"I think the reporter was quite sincere, so stop nitpicking." Qin Lan rolled her eyes at Tang Yu.
At this moment, Tang Ye reminded Qin Lan, "Mom, it's your turn on camera!"
Qin Lan stood up excitedly.
She even moved two steps toward the television.
Reporter: "As Department Director Tang's wife, how do you view his profession?"
Qin Lan: "I know his work is very busy. Besides surgeries, he spends most of his time practicing various surgical techniques. However, he is very good to me and very dedicated to the family. Whenever he has time, he cooks, and his cooking is quite good."
Reporter: "When you learned that Department Director Tang was injured, how did you feel at that time?"
Qin Lan: "My first reaction was heartache, and my second reaction was anger. Old Tang has saved many patients over these many years. He has had conflicts with patients' families before, but this time he was injured particularly badly. Others say doctors are angels, but they are actually mortal beings doing extraordinary things. I hope everyone can view doctors with a calm mind. Let's not have such tragedies happen again!"
Tang Ye gave Qin Lan a thumbs-up, "Mom, your answer was superb."
Qin Lan said proudly, "In front of outsiders, of course I have to say nice things!"
The duration was only three minutes, and it quickly jumped to the next news item.
Qin Lan was still not satisfied and said softly, "I wonder if it will be rebroadcast tomorrow morning."
Tang Ye smiled, "I asked the reporter for a sample copy, and it's already saved on the computer. You can ask me whenever you want to watch it in the future."
For Qin Lan, being interviewed by the television station was an experience worth remembering.
For Tang Yu, the television station focusing its publicity on him hid a thought-provoking signal.
The fourth day of hospitalization.
Tang Yu felt he had recovered enough, so he requested to be discharged.
Tang Ye and Qin Lan both knew they couldn't stop Tang Yu, so they simply let him be.
The day after being discharged, Tang Yu arrived at the department early in the morning.
He first did rounds to understand the condition of the inpatients, helped the attending physicians sort out their thoughts, and reallocated some critically ill patients; if a patient's surgery was particularly major, he adjusted it to his own name.
Just after finishing rounds, his assistant reminded him softly, "Director, Dean Lu called you several times just now."
Tang Yu was quite surprised, "Understood, I'll return the call now."
"Dean Lu, are you looking for me for something?"
"Yes, come to my office. There is a very important matter to discuss with you face-to-face."
Tang Yu rushed to the Dean's office.
Besides Dean Lu.
There were several unfamiliar faces sitting on the sofa.
"Department Director Tang, they are leaders from the Municipal Health Bureau, here specifically to have a talk with you."
Tang Yu was a bit surprised and said with a smile, "Hello, leaders. May I ask what this is about?"
"Comrade Tang Yu, we are here to talk to you today mainly to discuss a position adjustment. In view of your outstanding performance, the City Bureau leadership meeting discussed and recommended that you take on more responsibilities, appointing you to the position of Vice President of the hospital, in charge of the hospital's surgical work. Are you willing to accept this arrangement?"
It took Tang Yu a long while to come to his senses.
This was a promotion for him!
Although he had always followed a technical path and never thought about being in the hospital's management, so being a Department Director had already met his psychological expectations.
But, as a doctor, he certainly possessed the ambition to become a Dean!
"I am willing to follow the organization's arrangement!"
Dean Lu reached out his hand and said with a smile, "Old Tang, congratulations. From now on, the surgical work of our City People's Hospital will be left to you to preside over. I believe that under your leadership, the hospital's comprehensive strength will definitely take a big step forward."
Tang Yu hurriedly grasped Dean Lu's hand and shook it vigorously!
"Dean Lu, thank you for your support and trust. If I do anything wrong in the future, please correct me in time."
When Tang Yu walked out of the Dean's office, he felt light-headed.
The events of the past few days felt like a dream!
Who would have thought that after being beaten by a patient, he would instead be blessed by misfortune, not only being highlighted in publicity but also being promoted to Vice President.
After thinking it over, Tang Yu felt there must be some trick to it.
Although Tang Yu focused his mind on studying academics and techniques, he was not stupid; this matter most likely had to do with his son.
When Gao Ping apologized to him that day, he realized then that his son had done quite a bit of work behind the scenes.
Tang Yu felt a mix of emotions and sighed inwardly.
The son who had been sheltered by him and his wife had suddenly grown up, not only able to protect himself but also able to help him!
Friday.
Tang Ye returned home.
Steaming hot delicacies were set on the dining table; he walked over and took a look, the main dishes were fish head tofu soup and chicken braised with edamame, both of which he loved to eat!
Hearing the movement, Tang Yu walked out of the room and said unusually, "Hurry up and wash your hands, get ready to eat, the two of us will have a drink today."
Tang Ye ducked into the kitchen, and while washing his hands, asked Qin Lan, "Dad, what's wrong today? Did the sun rise from the west?"
Qin Lan flashed a mysterious smile at Tang Ye, "You'll know in a moment."
Tang Ye finished washing his hands and walked to the dining room, poured the wine, and Tang Yu picked up his glass, clinked it with Tang Ye's, and downed it in one gulp.
Immediately, he handed a red-headed document from his side to Tang Ye.
Tang Ye took a careful look and said happily, "Dad, you've been promoted to Vice President?"
Tang Yu smiled, "Yes, it's quite a surprise."
Tang Ye said earnestly, "This is what you deserve."
Tang Ye knew about Tang Yu's previous situation at the hospital.
Although his medical skills were excellent, he had always been exploited like a beast of burden; now he could finally hold his head high and take a step further in his career.
Tang Yu drank another glass with Tang Ye and said seriously, "Tell me honestly, did you help me pull strings? If you did, we must thank them properly."
Tang Ye did not hide it.
There was no need for a family to keep secrets from each other.
Moreover, it would be inappropriate if others mentioned it later and Tang Yu was kept in the dark.
"Remember Cheng Lin? She is a warm-hearted person; she stood up for you and told a leader in the provincial government about your situation."
The son said it very lightly.
But Tang Yu knew clearly how much resources it took to maneuver the appointment of a Vice President of a Grade A Tertiary Hospital.
In terms of administrative rank, the Vice President of a municipal Grade A Tertiary Hospital is at the Deputy Division Level.
If transferred to a government department, one could serve as a Deputy Bureau Chief in the Health Bureau.
"So that's it, I also found it strange. How could a Vice President position be so easy to get promoted to? Dad is basking in your glory."
Tang Yu suddenly realized.
Tang Ye couldn't help but laugh.
"Success depends on heaven, but effort depends on man. You must never doubt your own ability. You are worthy of the position of Vice President!"
After the meal.
Tang Ye sent a thank-you message to Cheng Lin.
Cheng Lin replied quickly: "Reciprocity is the basis of social interaction; didn't you help me last time too? Song Mingyu has already signed a contract with Haihua Group and successfully secured the beauty salon project; she asked me to pass on her thanks to you."
"This account can't be settled clearly. How about this, from now on, neither of us should ever talk about who owes whom!"
"Hmm! Next time I need your help, I will definitely do so with peace of mind!"
