Chapter 252: Zhao Heng Suddenly Becomes a Hot Commodity
Li Haiyang just sat for a while before leaving, but the fact that he came to chat with Zhao Heng at this time had a purpose.
"Dr. Zhao, you have a good relationship with Dr. Li. He even came to chat with you at this time."
After Li Haiyang left, Tian Zhen couldn't help but say.
"Do you really think he came just to chat with me?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Heng just smiled and said.
"If not to chat, then for what?"
Tian Zhen was a bit puzzled.
"His boss just got promoted, so naturally, he wants to understand how my boss thinks."
Zhao Heng laughed and said.
"Huh? There's that angle too."
Tian Zhen was a bit surprised. She didn't expect that when Li Haiyang came to chat with Zhao Heng, he had such intentions.
"Of course."
Zhao Heng nodded. This was the implied meaning; Zhao Heng understood it, so in their conversation, he conveyed that his boss very much supports Li Haiyang's boss, which made Li Haiyang leave satisfied.
In such a large hospital, to secure the position of director, one naturally needs support. Gao Jun is a crucial link. Whoever takes the director position can't avoid dealing with the rising influence of Gao Jun now.
"Then isn't it easier for you now, Dr. Zhao, with both the director and Director Gao backing you?"
Tian Zhen couldn't help but say.
"I'm not a crab, why would I walk sideways."
Zhao Heng could only chuckle at this suggestion.
After chatting for a while, Tian Zhen went out to work, while Zhao Heng calmed his mind and continued working on his pharmaceutical data model. The hospital's high-level changes didn't have much to do with him at the moment; he wasn't at that level yet.
However, as Tian Zhen mentioned, with both Gao Jun and Liu Shangming admiring him, Zhao Heng indeed has a much smoother path ahead in the hospital.
Just then, someone Zhao Heng didn't expect walked into the office.
"Old classmate."
Zhao Heng saw it was Gu Jia, wondering what she was doing here now.
Zhao Heng was puzzled.
"You're here for?"
Zhao Heng asked with great curiosity. If it was about the bidding, it wasn't time yet, and there were no other issues between him and Gu Jia.
"The company sent me to scout around."
Gu Jia said very directly.
"Your company has sharp ears, sit down."
Upon hearing Gu Jia's words, Zhao Heng understood instantly.
Indeed, it's related to the bidding. Now that the director has fallen, the order that Pfizer could easily get is quite uncertain now.
Moreover, with the bidding approaching, both Pfizer and Sino Company are still trying to figure out what kind of person the new boss, Liu Shangming, is. That's why Sino Company sent Gu Jia to Zhao Heng to check things out, but she unexpectedly revealed everything to Zhao Heng straight away.
"All the companies are now laughing at Pfizer. I've heard it's chaos over there, with the management busy running away. If they don't, they might spend their later years on a sewing machine."
Hearing about Pfizer's downfall, Gu Jia was visibly happy. After all, her company is Sino Company, heavily impacted, and the people at Pfizer have indeed been quite annoying.
"I remember Wang Qiang is at Pfizer, right? How is he?"
Zhao Heng suddenly recalled. Wang Qiang had resigned previously to follow Yin Jian to Pfizer as a medical representative and was said to be doing quite well, even driving a BMW.
"He got caught too, but I heard from the higher-ups that he wasn't deeply involved, just a public security penalty. He'll be released after more than a dozen days."
Gu Jia apparently knew a lot, indicating that Sino Company's higher-ups had been keeping an eye on Pfizer, perhaps even had someone inside Pfizer. Otherwise, how could they know so much about Wang Qiang, a newcomer medical representative?
"As long as he isn't criminally charged, it's not too serious."
Zhao Heng nodded, considering it a blessing amidst misfortune. Though it would affect his future job prospects, it's much better than ending up in a sewing factory.
"He went down the wrong path."
Gu Jia sighed, saying that she had no impression of Wang Qiang during school, except that he was quite earnest.
"Sino Company will definitely make big moves this time; congratulations in advance."
Zhao Heng said.
That's easy to deduce. With Pfizer in chaos due to Yin Lifeng's capture, the company's leadership is too preoccupied to think about bidding, so Sino Company is likely to be the biggest winner in this bid.
"It's just that."
Gu Jia didn't appear as excited as expected, because as a fellow medical representative, she knew many of her Pfizer counterparts didn't end well. Even the lucky ones, who avoided jail time, lost the cars, houses, and savings they'd worked for years to get. It left her with a profound understanding of this pharmaceutical sales industry.
"I'll give it two more years, but then I want out to do something else."
Pausing, Gu Jia said.
"Uh... wasn't your company here to gather intel? How come you're talking like you don't want to do this anymore?"
Zhao Heng hadn't expected Gu Jia to have this mindset. By all accounts, she should be at the peak of her career now, getting promoted and a raise.
"Let's not talk about it. I need to visit Dr. Li next. Catch you later, old classmate."
Gu Jia stood up decisively.
"Alright."
Zhao Heng nodded.
After Gu Jia left, Zhao Heng felt like his place had become a marketplace, with people coming and going. The situation may have changed, but why does everyone think of finding him?
To avoid anyone else coming to him, Zhao Heng decided to grab a coffee with Liu Ziang.
Acting quickly, Zhao Heng left the office and, after saying a word to Tian Zhen, soon arrived at Liu Ziang's office in the neurosurgery department.
When Zhao Heng came in, Liu Ziang looked a bit surprised.
"What are you doing here at this time...?"
Liu Ziang asked.
"Nothing, just for some coffee."
Zhao Heng replied confidently, then started fiddling with the coffee machine that Liu Ziang spent tens of thousands on.
"You really are blatantly helping yourself to coffee!"
Liu Ziang smiled and said, seeing how unapologetic Zhao Heng was.
"Don't mention it. After the meeting, Li Haiyang was the first to look for me, and after he left, people from Sino Company came. I'm not the one who's been caught, yet my place feels like a market."
Facing Liu Ziang, Zhao Heng couldn't help but complain.
"That's normal. With Director Liu now promoted to hospital director, apart from him, Gao Jun is the most influential force here. You are his trusted student, so it's naturally expected for people to sound you out to understand Gao Jun's position, just get used to it."
Liu Ziang offered a small consolation to Zhao Heng.
