Chapter 264: Being Too Reckless in Doing Things!

Dean Lu was actually trying to play the emotional card with him?

Tang Ye smiled and replied, "Uncle Lu, I have always respected you very much. Under your leadership, the City People's Hospital has been able to develop so well, and my father often expresses his admiration for your management skills, always telling me to learn from you. How about this: you hand the proposal to me, and I will look for the right opportunity to see if I can get Mayor Jiang to look it over."

Dean Lu pondered to himself that Tang Ye's way of speaking and handling things was sophisticated, and compared to Tang Yu, his words appeared even more steady.

"Fine, I will have the proposal sent to you as soon as possible."

"Uncle Lu, this proposal needs to be written in a pragmatic way and be actionable; as for the budget, it must be reasonable," Tang Ye added.

Dean Lu smiled, "Rest assured, I am not making this suggestion solely for personal gain; it is mainly for the long-term development of the hospital. If this project can be approved, it will bring tangible benefits to the overall medical layout of Hanzhou."

After Tang Ye used kind words to persuade Dean Lu to leave, he did not take the matter too much to heart.

The next day, Dean Lu arranged for Qi Pingsheng to deliver the materials.

Tang Ye took the materials.

Qi Pingsheng gave him two material bags.

He subconsciously squeezed one of them lightly and felt that the texture was wrong; it did not feel like documents inside, so he couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Dean Qi, why are there two material bags?"

Qi Pingsheng hurriedly explained with a smile, "One bag is prepared for you; inside are high-end traditional Chinese medicinal herbs prepared by the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, which are very beneficial to the body."

Tang Ye immediately stuffed the bag "containing medicinal herbs" back into Qi Pingsheng's arms and said with a grave expression, "Dean Qi, I appreciate the sentiment, but I really am not used to drinking traditional Chinese medicine. I have accepted the document materials. I still have things to attend to, so please feel free to go, Dean Qi."

After speaking, Tang Ye walked straight toward the ward.

He did not give Qi Pingsheng another chance to speak.

Qi Pingsheng felt quite displeased in his heart, thinking to himself that it seemed Dean Lu's plan to use Mayor Jiang's hospitalization to apply for the new hospital was likely going to fall through.

Qi Pingsheng returned to the Dean's office, found Dean Lu, and gently placed the envelope full of banknotes by Dean Lu's hand, a helpless, bitter smile on his face, "The materials were accepted, but the medicinal herbs were returned. In my opinion, little Tang doesn't want to help us with this favor at all."

Dean Lu's gaze swept over the envelope, and he said, "Little Tang is just a Secretary, and Mayor Jiang is currently recuperating. He has a special relationship with the hospital, so bringing up matters at this time is certainly not appropriate. We are mainly using this opportunity to first lay the groundwork and pave the way for future lobbying efforts."

A look of admiration appeared in Qi Pingsheng's eyes, and he flattered, "Dean Lu, you are truly far-sighted!"

Dean Lu smiled faintly and encouraged Qi Pingsheng, "If the new hospital can be built, you must be prepared to take on heavier burdens when the time comes."

A flash of light crossed Qi Pingsheng's eyes, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you for your encouragement, Dean Lu; I will definitely not let down your cultivation."

Dean Lu smiled as he watched Qi Pingsheng leave.

In his heart, Qi Pingsheng was a subordinate he relied upon.

However, a new "bargaining chip" had recently appeared in his hands.

He immediately dialed Tang Yu's phone: "Old Tang, are you performing surgery?"

Tang Yu's voice came from the other end of the line: "I just finished one surgery, and there are two more to go. Dean Lu, what are your instructions?"

Dean Lu said, "Come to my office."

"Understood!" Tang Yu replied.

A moment later, Tang Yu arrived at the Dean's office.

Dean Lu wore an extremely amiable smile and greeted him warmly, "Come, come, come, try this new tea, Pu'er sent by an old friend from Yun Province. The tea leaves are curled like pearls and jade, and the soup color is golden and translucent like amber. The taste is quite good."

The good tea in Dean Lu's office was not easily brought out to entertain others on ordinary days.

Tang Yu took a small sip and asked softly, "Dean Lu, if there is something, you might as well say it directly."

Dean Lu handed a document to Tang Yu.

"Old Tang, as a senior member of the hospital, you must have heard about our hospital's plan to prepare for the construction of a new campus. My main problem now is stuck on finances, and the city has been unwilling to loosen its grip. Mayor Jiang Jing is the City Leader in charge of finance and is currently recuperating in our hospital. You are his Attending Physician, and little Tang is his Secretary, so I would like to trouble you to pass this material to Mayor Jiang to look at."

Tang Yu reacted very quickly, a helpless, bitter smile appearing on his face.

"Dean Lu, I am just a doctor. If you entrust a patient to me and ask me to come up with a treatment plan, I am confident. But if you ask me to negotiate a project, I really have no confidence at all. I suggest you go find Tang Ye yourself; it might be more useful than me going."

Dean Lu looked at Tang Yu with some embarrassment and said with a dry laugh, "Old Tang, I know this puts you in a difficult position. I have already looked for Tang Ye, and I even had Dean Qi go look for him."

Tang Yu was somewhat displeased.

He thought to himself that Dean Lu was purely looking for trouble for his son.

"How did he reply?"

Dean Lu said, "He said he would find an opportunity to take the materials to Mayor Jiang."

Dean Lu did not tell Tang Yu about Tang Ye returning the "traditional Chinese medicinal herbs."

"Then you should trust him. This child generally does not easily promise others, but once he promises, he will definitely find a way to do it," Tang Yu said confidently.

Dean Lu, however, did not have much confidence and said to Tang Yu with a smile, "Fine, if there is an opportunity, you help me mention this matter to little Tang."

Tang Yu smiled, glanced at the watch on his wrist, and said, "Dean Lu, I have to go prepare for the next surgery."

Dean Lu was stunned for a moment, knowing Tang Yu's character was not one to deliberately find excuses to shirk, so he nodded gently and said, "Go ahead and get busy!"

After Tang Yu left, Dean Lu shook his head and sighed helplessly.

Tang Yu's ability was unquestionable, but all his energy was focused on his professional work and the operating room.

Unlike Qi Pingsheng, who was good at maneuvering, but precisely because of this, Tang Yu was harder to control.

Tang Ye did not place those materials in the pile of documents.

After all, Jiang Jing was currently hospitalized and recuperating, so his workload needed to be controlled.

The importance and urgency of this material had not yet reached the threshold.

The preparation for the new hospital could not be decided in a day or two.

After Mayor Jiang was discharged from the hospital, Tang Ye would find a suitable opportunity to facilitate this matter.

He had grown up in a hospital atmosphere since he was a child, and he also had feelings for this place.

Half an hour later, Tang Ye reminded Jiang Jing softly, "Today's work will stop here for now; it will be time to take medicine in a while."

Jiang Jing knew that Wen Rong was waiting outside to collect documents, so he took off his glasses and said, "Starting from tomorrow, you can appropriately increase some workload; I feel that I am recovering quite well."

Tang Ye smiled and replied, "It's not up to me to decide this; it has to be agreed upon by the Attending Physician."

Jiang Jing lay back on the bed and suddenly asked Tang Ye, "In the past few days, has Dean Lu looked for you to talk about the matter of building a new hospital?"

Tang Ye was slightly taken aback and answered truthfully, "He did indeed come to see me. It's just that I didn't think this project was very urgent, so I didn't bring it to you. How did you know about this?"

Jiang Jing said expressionlessly, "There is a Dean surnamed Qi at the hospital who ran to my home and found Auntie Chen. Auntie Chen didn't accept the things and told me about this matter."

Tang Ye could not help but feel secretly annoyed.

This Qi Pingsheng!

He is far too reckless in how he does things!
