Chapter 278: Section Chief Tang Wishes for His Father to Become a Dragon!
Tang Ye did not know that ripples had stirred in Wen Rong's heart.
In his view, not letting a woman drink ice water was merely a matter of common sense.
Of course, he could not imagine that, years later, some men would actually use ice water to test the reactions of their dates.
Once they learned the other party was not suited to drink ice, they would immediately adjust their dating plans.
Not long after seeing Wen Rong off, Dean Lu called Tang Ye:
"Little Tang, when are you free today? I just arrived at the Municipal Party Committee and reported the conceptualization of the new hospital to Secretary Zhou in person. I want to chat with you about the upcoming plans."
Tang Ye was also curious about how things were progressing, and hearing Dean Lu's tone, it seemed quite smooth, so he replied: "How about during the lunch break? I can spare an hour."
At noon, after Tang Ye finished eating with Jiang Jing and waited for her to take her nap, he headed to Dean Lu's office.
Dean Lu had been waiting for a long time; seeing Tang Ye arrive, he hurriedly stood up and enthusiastically poured tea for him.
"I was quite surprised to be able to report work to Secretary Zhou alone today.
However, the whole process went very smoothly. Secretary Zhou highly approved of our new hospital's construction plan, feeling that using a combination of government finance and private capital to promote the improvement of the city's medical landscape is a very forward-looking approach."
Dean Lu said this while handing the brewed tea to Tang Ye.
"At the same time, Secretary Zhou also raised a few requirements, asking us to revise the plan, and then take the revised plan to report to the provincial leaders to strive for more support."
Dean Lu had originally wanted to take the opportunity of Jiang Jing's hospitalization to build a good relationship with her.
Unexpectedly, through a twist of fate, he was able to be received by Zhou Chengwu.
Dean Lu cherished this hard-won opportunity very much.
He wanted to move a step further up.
For him, the next step was the Health Bureau.
Now that he had been received by the head of the Municipal Party Committee, a door had been opened.
Even if Zhou Chengwu had not given any specific instructions, the relevant personnel of the Organization Department had already recorded this detail in their little notebooks.
If the new hospital project were to be implemented, relying on this political achievement, his career would usher in an unprecedented new situation.
This moment was closely related to Tang Ye.
Who would have thought that the child from back then now possessed so many connections and resources.
Dean Lu could not help but compare Tang Ye to his own son, who, despite having a stable job, was content with the status quo and lacked ambition!
Tang Ye listened patiently as Dean Lu recounted the revision suggestions proposed by Zhou Chengwu.
Although he had considered things quite thoroughly when planning the proposal, he had still missed many key elements.
Ultimately, this was a gap in vision.
Standing at Zhou Chengwu's height, one needed to consider many issues comprehensively.
How many jobs the project could create, how much economic scale the capital investment could guide, and so on.
While listening to Dean Lu's feedback, Tang Ye quickly sorted things out in his mind and provided several reference data points.
Dean Lu did not interact with Tang Ye frequently, but during this discussion of the plan, he keenly sensed that Tang Ye was by no means an ordinary person.
Those who could serve as important secretaries by a leader's side all had extraordinary qualities; whether it was their reaction speed or the meticulousness of their logical thinking, it was all admirable.
More importantly, Tang Ye's thinking pattern started from the perspective of government work, while Dean Lu, although in an administrative position, ultimately found it difficult to smoothly transition from the inherent mode of hospital management to the mode of government macro-decision-making.
Many of the questions Zhou Chengwu raised were things Dean Lu could not figure out himself, but after a discussion with Tang Ye, they were all easily resolved.
"Little Tang, communicating with you has really benefited me a lot; I must thank you properly," Dean Lu said with a slightly helpless, bitter smile. "It's a pity you won't give me the chance."
Tang Ye smiled faintly and said: "Dean Lu, I grew up in the hospital; you are like my own uncle, there is no need to be so polite. If the new hospital project can be successfully built, it will be a great thing for you and for my father."
Dean Lu nodded vigorously. "I understand your intentions. I also need to reflect; your father's medical skills are superb, and he is devoted to the medical front line, yet I haven't cared enough about him. But rest assured, the City Bureau leaders and the hospital leadership team all value him highly, and we will allocate quite a few resources to him in the future. Besides performing surgeries, he will also have to attend some academic conferences inside and outside the province; he will definitely be very busy."
In the past, such provincial-level academic conferences rarely paid attention to Tang Yu.
Once a doctor reaches a certain level, attending such conferences is an essential way to broaden their horizons and expand their network.
Tang Ye nodded slightly and continued: "There is also the matter of research projects and papers. My father has explored many practical techniques during surgeries that have great practical value. I suggest the hospital assist him in forming a team to organize these techniques."
Dean Lu was in a great mood and laughed with emotion: "If Old Tang had half your initiative, he would have made a name for himself long ago."
Tang Ye understood that Dean Lu was hinting that his father, Tang Yu, was accustomed to researching alone, and explained for his father: "The growth cycle for a neurosurgeon is particularly long. Although my father is already fifty-two, he has only just entered the peak period of his professional field.
For the past twenty years, he has been quietly honing his basic skills; now is the time for him to produce results.
Uncle Lu, you are both my father's colleague and a good friend; with your support, he will surely accumulate strength and achieve great success."
Dean Lu was actually not very interested in how much achievement Tang Yu could ultimately attain.
But he knew in his heart that if he wanted the new hospital project to land successfully, he could not do without Tang Ye's strong support at the government level.
Since Tang Ye was not interested in those small favors, Dean Lu secretly decided to start by providing internal hospital resources to Tang Yu, in order to exchange them for more assistance from Tang Ye in government work.
To satisfy Section Chief Tang's wish to see his father become a dragon!
After Tang Ye left, Dean Lu immediately summoned Qi Pingsheng and instructed him with a serious expression:
"Pingsheng, there are a few things I need you to handle.
First, the proposal Tang Yu submitted last month to reform hospital salary levels must be pushed through at the next leadership meeting.
Second, take the initiative to connect with Hanzhou University School of Medicine and take the lead in establishing a research task force for the field of neurosurgery to build a professional team as soon as possible.
Third, communicate more with the provincial level recently, keep an eye out for any surgery-related academic conferences, and try to arrange for Tang Yu to go out and attend more of them for exchanges."
"Dean Lu, that proposal mainly increases the salary income of surgeons; if it passes, it will cause dissatisfaction among other doctors."
"Old Tang is the person in charge of operations; his opinions must be valued! Old Qi, times are changing, you have to keep up!"
Qi Pingsheng recorded it earnestly.
But inside, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
This series of measures by Dean Lu clearly showed that he was determined to strongly support Tang Yu.
