Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital

The next day.

8:50 AM.

Inside Gao Jun's office.

After handing over the shift, Gao Jun called Zhao Heng into his office.

"How does it feel to go back to school, Xiao Zhao?"

Gao Jun smiled and asked Zhao Heng.

If it were an average department leader, they probably wouldn't waste valuable labor by letting a doctor pursue an in-service master's degree.

However, it was Gao Jun who first suggested that Zhao Heng pursue further studies, because now Gao Jun considers Zhao Heng a mainstay of the department.

Therefore, in terms of academic qualifications, there must be an improvement; having only a bachelor's degree is indeed a bit lacking.

"Nothing special."

Zhao Heng said.

He really didn't feel anything special, and pursuing further studies while on the job actually means more work for him.

"Improving your academic qualifications is what you need most right now. Master Huang is a highly respected figure in the industry; being trained by him comes with many benefits."

Since they were not outsiders, Gao Jun was quite straightforward.

It was once said that the most impressive person an average person can meet in life is likely to be a university teacher.

Indeed, teachers from prestigious universities, especially professors from medical schools, are leaders in their field.

"I'm just worried I might not be able to balance everything."

Zhao Heng was still a bit worried; right now, the anesthesia department was barely making do with just a few people and hadn't fully developed yet.

"The hospital is already on the right track. As long as everything is arranged properly, I think there shouldn't be a problem. However, that's not what I wanted to discuss today."

Gao Jun said.

"Is there good news?"

Seeing the happy expression on Gao Jun's face, Zhao Heng guessed that there must be some good news.

"Yes, there is good news. The ward is going to be expanded, and the hospital has given us an additional twenty beds."

Gao Jun said, unable to suppress his smile.

He only received the news this morning. Initially, securing ten beds from the ICU had required agreeing to many unequal terms, such as being responsible for admitting and referring patients, among other things.

But suddenly, like a windfall, the hospital offered twenty beds to the ward, ready and equipped, without requiring anything in return, which left Gao Jun a bit dazed.

"What? Twenty beds? Did I hear that right?"

Zhao Heng was also in disbelief.

Previously, securing ten beds had taken tremendous effort and resourcefulness, like completing a near-impossible task.

"Yes, Xiao Zhao, you heard it right. It's a full twenty beds, and they come with no strings attached, fully equipped."

Gao Jun said with satisfaction.

In a hospital, a bed represents more than just a place for patients; it's akin to a parking space in a residential area not just being a spot for a car.

In key departments, key beds represent the allocation of medical resources within the hospital.

Each bed represents a portion of medical resources.

Resources are limited, like a pie of a specific size, so acquiring ten beds before had been such a struggle for Gao Jun.

With these twenty beds, plus the previous ten, it could practically be considered a small treatment center, allowing for many operations and services.

No wonder Gao Jun was so pleased.

"Did you ask your family for help?"

Zhao Heng couldn't help but ask.

Resolving such a challenging issue so swiftly, Zhao Heng thought it could only be because Gao Jun sought help from his elders.

"No, not me, Xiao Zhao, this is all thanks to you."

Gao Jun patted Zhao Heng on the shoulder and said heartily.

"Me? Even you couldn't manage it, how could I have this capability..."

Zhao Heng was puzzled. His strength was in his technical abilities; he had only begun cultivating connections and resources, unlike Gao Jun, who had long immersed himself in this area.

"Xiao Zhao, do you know where these additional twenty beds and medical resources came from?"

Gao Jun asked again.

"Shouldn't they have been allocated by the hospital?"

Zhao Heng guessed tentatively.

"No, given the current situation in the hospital, they wouldn't allocate so many resources to us. These came from a donation by a philanthropic community member, and the only stipulation of the donation was that you be the one to use these resources."

Gao Jun revealed without holding back.

"That Ms. Liu?"

Zhao Heng came to the realization. A donation that specifically required his involvement couldn't have come from anyone but the somewhat mysterious Ms. Liu.

"Yes, Xiao Zhao, you've met a patron."

Gao Jun looked at Zhao Heng and said.

"I really didn't expect this."

Zhao Heng was genuinely surprised; he hadn't expected Ms. Liu to take such decisive action. He had thought her offer to support him was just a casual remark.

"So this is a case of unintended success, Xiao Zhao. You're in luck."

Gao Jun seemed unsurprised. With far more life experience than Zhao Heng, he had seen and heard a lot over the years, generally dismissing so-called success stories as nonsense.

People who succeed often don't understand why they succeeded.

Many striving side by side had similar opportunities, yet some rose while others stalled.

This comes down to timing and luck.

"Teacher, do you also believe in such luck?"

Zhao Heng hadn't expected Gao Jun to bring up such a mystical concept; he wasn't the protagonist of some online novel.

"Since meeting you, everything seems to have gone smoothly. Have you realized that whatever you do ends in success, even if you're unsure going in, it still turns out successful?"

Gao Jun rambled, seemingly unaware of what he was saying, clearly very happy.

"Ahem, Teacher, let's not delve into the supernatural."

Zhao Heng couldn't help but remind Gao Jun.

Since becoming the deputy director, Gao Jun seemed to be changing. According to Zhao Heng, these changes suggested a shift from being solely a doctor to becoming a manager or leader.

In the Anesthesia and Perioperative Center, although Gao Jun was currently just the Deputy Director, the Director was technically still Master Huang, and once the timing was right, Gao Jun would quickly be fully promoted.

"Yes, you're right, I'm just too happy. Xiao Zhao, this Ms. Liu is very influential. She helped us greatly this time, so you must properly thank her."

Gao Jun urged Zhao Heng repeatedly.

Hearing this, Zhao Heng's assessment of Ms. Liu went up another notch. Gao Jun was someone who had seen the world, with his father being an important leader in the ministry. If he spoke this way, Ms. Liu must indeed be extraordinary.

"Yes, I understand."

Zhao Heng nodded. Building a good relationship with someone as powerful as Ms. Liu could only be beneficial.
