Chapter 265: Thanks to you this time!

"Even if there is a matter to report to me, it should still follow the proper procedures. If the hospital has business, it should first be reflected to the Health Bureau, and then forwarded by the Health Bureau to the Municipal Government."

"Mayor Jiang, as I see it, Dean Lu is likely unaware of this matter. I have told him before that you need to rest and recuperate, and he is aware of that. As for Qi Pingsheng, he was truly desperate and acted without thinking, which led to such an irrational move. However, from what I understand, there are other hidden circumstances behind this."

At this moment, although Tang Ye had already cursed Qi Pingsheng to the high heavens in his heart.

He still had to step forward to smooth things over for the hospital.

Who in all of Hanzhou doesn't know Jiang Jing's style of doing things? Engaging in such crooked ways is purely digging one's own grave.

"Other hidden circumstances?" Jiang Jing's attention was successfully drawn over, as expected.

"Hanzhou currently only has two Grade A Tertiary Hospitals. In recent years, the focus of economic development has shifted to the West District, yet it lacks a high-quality hospital for support.

Therefore, building a new hospital will not only greatly alleviate the difficulty the common people of Hanzhou face in seeking medical treatment, but also enrich the living support ecosystem of the West District, effectively promoting the expansion of real estate and commercial districts.

However, the new hospital project has not been approved due to insufficient budget from the Finance Bureau."

Tang Ye took the opportunity to inform Jiang Jing of the reasons behind the matter.

Jiang Jing frowned and said, "Bring the materials to me."

Tang Ye replied softly, "One moment." After saying this, he walked quickly outside and retrieved the materials.

Jiang Jing began to flip through the materials, while Tang Ye explained the key points of the materials in detail from the side.

During the explanation, Tang Ye maintained a neutral attitude throughout, focusing his analysis mainly on the problems existing in the materials.

Jiang Jing pondered to himself that Tang Ye was indeed a person of principle.

Tang Ye is the son of Tang Yu and grew up in a hospital environment; facing Dean Lu's tactic of playing the emotional card, he could remain unmoved.

This made Jiang Jing admire Tang Ye's character greatly.

Having such a Secretary by his side was undoubtedly a capable and good assistant.

The content of this report was complex, but with Tang Ye's assistance, Jiang Jing finished reading it in just ten minutes.

"Where do you think the problem with these materials lies?" Jiang Jing closed the materials and took off his glasses.

Tang Ye replied softly, "I feel that the scope of these materials is not broad enough. The proposal mentions building a branch hospital; in my humble opinion, the goal should be raised, for instance, by building the new hospital into a regional benchmark.

Not only should it be benchmarked against municipal-level Grade A Tertiary Hospitals, but it should even achieve breakthroughs on that basis.

In this way, it can not only win strong support from the municipal finance department but also gain recognition from the province."

Jiang Jing rubbed his chin, his brows slightly furrowed, "The difficulty in execution will not be small."

Tang Ye responded with a smile, "It is human effort that determines success. We can adopt a model of cooperation with the Provincial Hospital and try to run the hospital jointly. At that time, we can also leverage the superior resources of the Provincial Hospital to enhance the competitiveness of the new hospital."

Jiang Jing's eyes lit up, and he praised, "This line of thinking is very good."

Tang Ye had studied these materials carefully beforehand and knew Jiang Jing's style of doing things well.

If it were just to build a new branch hospital, it would certainly be a political achievement for the Municipal Hospital.

But for Jiang Jing, these political achievements were not enough to significantly enhance the value of his resume.

However, if he could link up with the province's resources, let the leaders at various levels in the province know about the work Jiang Jing was pushing, and let the leaders concerned about the development of the Qiongjin Urban Circle see the immense value of resource linkage, then there would be an opportunity to deeply mine the highlights of his political achievements.

For a plan like this, one must start from the needs of the leaders to be persuasive!

Tang Ye's planning ability was once again highlighted.

Jiang Jing instructed softly, "Call Dean Lu over; I want to have a chat with him."

Tang Ye frowned slightly and reminded him softly, "It is already time for your medication."

Jiang Jing said with a smile, "I'll take the medicine right now. Don't worry, I'll just have a simple chat with him. Don't make such a fuss; do you really take me for a glass person who will shatter at a touch?"

Seeing that Jiang Jing's attitude was firm, Tang Ye walked out of the ward helplessly and dialed Dean Lu's phone number.

Dean Lu arrived very quickly.

"Mayor Jiang wants to see me?"

"Yes, there is something I must make clear to you. Yesterday, Qi Pingsheng brought things to Mayor Jiang's residence. The Mayor was very angry after finding out. However, I have already explained the reasons to him. Remember! When reporting the materials later, you must focus on the direction of jointly running the hospital with the Provincial Hospital."

Although Dean Lu did not understand Tang Ye's intentions, his mind was very clear; Tang Ye's opinion was of vital importance.

Tang Ye pushed open the door and asked for instructions from Jiang Jing, "Dean Lu is here."

"Let him in."

Dean Lu walked into the ward quickly, and Tang Ye was just about to leave.

Jiang Jing gave him a look, and Tang Ye understood that Jiang Jing wanted him to stay.

Jiang Jing said in a serious tone, "Old Lu, I thought you were quite reliable, but I didn't expect you to be so bold in your actions. You went to great lengths to get me to see you, actually sending someone to my residence to slip things in. The atmosphere in the hospital is so poor; you must pay attention to this!"

Dean Lu had originally thought that being granted a private meeting with Jiang Jing this time was a good opportunity to get closer.

He did not expect to be severely reprimanded right from the start, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.

He replied tremblingly, "Mayor Jiang, I only just found out about Qi Pingsheng's behavior. The nature of this matter is egregious, and I will definitely criticize him properly."

Jiang Jing frowned and asked, "Tang Ye has already shown me the materials. Do you know why the Municipal Finance Bureau did not approve them?"

Dean Lu looked puzzled and said, "Please enlighten me."

Jiang Jing glanced at Tang Ye.

Tang Ye hurriedly took over the conversation, "Mayor Jiang has always been highly concerned about the medical environment in Hanzhou. But the scope and vision of these materials are lacking; one should stand at a higher level, link resources with the Provincial Hospital, and set higher goals for building the hospital."

Dean Lu was also a shrewd person and immediately followed Tang Ye's topic, saying, "I have several classmates working in the Qiongjin medical system. The province was already researching the distribution of medical resources across the province last year, and they will strive to balance regional medical resources and pilot the construction of Regional Medical Centers throughout the province. Perhaps we can start from this angle!"

Jiang Jing nodded slightly, "This line of thinking is broader than what is in the materials. You rewrite the materials, and I will forward them to Secretary Zhou. However, you must be mentally prepared; wanting to apply for this project is not something that can be done just by talking—it requires real, tangible effort."

Dean Lu's spirits lifted, "Please rest assured, Mayor Jiang, I will definitely go all out to secure this project."

Dean Lu left the ward.

Tang Ye handed over a tissue.

"Uncle Lu, wipe your sweat."

Dean Lu took the tissue and wiped his forehead.

"This time, it's all thanks to you! That Qi Pingsheng, he really is more of a hindrance than a help!"

Tang Ye smiled faintly, "Uncle Lu, Mayor Jiang is very interested in this project. He is an official who came from the provincial level; the hospital must seize this opportunity well."

Dean Lu felt a jolt in his heart and nodded hurriedly, "I will prepare the materials conscientiously. Once the first draft is out, I would like to ask for your advice."

Tang Ye readily replied, "Mayor Jiang has already given instructions; I will actively cooperate with your work."
