Chapter 671: Veto Power (Seeking Subscription)
On Monday morning, on his way to the Medical School, Lin Jie received a call from An Kexin.
"A-Jie, you let Kemeng bring back a human skeleton. You have quite the nerve, aren't you afraid of scaring her?"
Hearing the voice full of reproach, Lin Jie chuckled and said, "This is something that medical students have to go through. Later on, she'll even have to dissect corpses herself. She must develop this courage."
"What happened, was Kemeng too scared to sleep last night, sleeping with you?"
"What do you think?"
An Kexin said coquettishly on the phone, angrily, "That brat was truly frightened, clutching my arm tightly, hiding her head under the blanket, and wouldn't even let me turn off the light."
Lin Jie murmured, saying, "This kid acts pretty brave in front of me, even daring to use a skull to scare others, but at night, she doesn't dare to sleep alone."
An Kexin huffed, "A-Jie, take it easy, Kemeng is only seventeen after all. She's just holding it together in front of you."
"She doesn't even dare to stay home alone now, so I had to agree to take her with me to the company."
Lin Jie said nonchalantly, "You don't have to worry too much, it's just because she's encountering it the first time. Once she gets used to it, it'll be fine. Every year so many students enroll in medical school, are all of them bold?"
"Many of them become brave because they have to, they are forced to develop it."
"Let's hope so!"
An Kexin sighed helplessly and advised, "A-Jie, listen to me."
"In the future, if there's anything strange or curious, don't let Kemeng bring it back home. Just keep it at your school or hospital office, or your home, but don't let Kemeng bring it back."
Lin Jie felt a surge of amusement and teasingly asked, "Kexin, are you also scared, not just Kemeng?"
"I'm already an adult, what... what's there to be afraid of..."
The voice on the phone grew quieter, and finally, An Kexin said somewhat shyly, "A-Jie, did you hear me clearly? In the future, don't... [let Kemeng] bring strange things home."
"Absolutely not!"
Lin Jie suppressed his laughter and said, "Alright, I promise I will not let Kemeng bring scary things back home again."
An Kexin's tone relaxed, and she hummed, "That's more like it! There's one more thing."
"This Saturday, we will hold an on-site recruitment event at the Medical School. Please remember to mention it during class today and encourage your students to spread the word and promote it."
"Oh, I understand, I won't forget this matter."
According to the first phase of construction plans, Anlin Hospital would start operations with only four hundred hospital beds.
Based on the national hospital grading standards, due to the limitation on the number of beds, Anlin Hospital could at most be a Grade Two General Hospital, but this rating doesn't fully represent Anlin Hospital's capabilities.
According to Lin Jie's plan, Anlin Hospital should mainly treat patients with major illnesses, serious conditions, and difficult diseases, in other words, mainly critically ill patients and those with major illnesses transferred from other hospitals.
Lin Jie even once thought of simply not setting up an outpatient and emergency department for ordinary patients.
However, this idea was shot down by Gong Xuepeng and An Kexin.
Even though the entire Phoenix Mountain District is in its initial phase of development, with very few residents having outpatient needs, this department is still needed to facilitate the residents.
According to Lin Jie's hospital concept, the main force in treating patients should be doctors at the level of department heads and deputy heads, so cultivating successors in the hospital should focus on quality over quantity.
This time, the campus recruitment mainly aims at recruiting highly educated medical students.
Anlin Hospital plans to recruit two hundred and fifty-eight graduates.
Among them, one hundred and twenty-six doctoral graduates, ninety-eight master's graduates, and only thirty-four bachelor graduates.
And these dozens of bachelor graduates are needed in the medical technology, administration, and logistics departments.
For graduates, Anlin Hospital mainly targets three medical colleges: Binhai University Medical School, Jingcheng University Medical School, and Peking Union Medical College.
Although Lin Jie also holds the position of vice president at the First Military Affiliated Hospital and has close ties with the First Military Medical University, Anlin Hospital is a privately managed local hospital, recruiting from a military medical academy is not allowed.
Not long after hanging up An Kexin's call, Lin Jie arrived at the Medical School.
When he stepped into the small lecture hall for class, he couldn't help but have an illusion, had he walked into the wrong classroom?
Because it was the start of school, the small lecture hall seating five hundred people was just about full for these two weeks of classes.
But today, the lecture hall was especially crowded, with people sitting all over the aisles.
Lin Jie estimated that there were at least over six hundred people.
Lin Jie also noticed that among these many unfamiliar faces, a good number were older, at least over forty years old.
Feeling puzzled, Lin Jie waved Tian Xiangyu over and quietly asked, "Is there another event causing a conflict in the small hall? Why are there so many middle-aged people suddenly?"
Tian Xiangyu lightly laughed, "Teacher, we found out that these people have come from all over the country especially for you."
Tian Xiangyu knew Lin Jie disliked secrets, so he further explained, "They are parents of students who want to enroll their children in that targeted medical class, so they specially came to the school for an on-site investigation."
This surprised Lin Jie and once again made him realize "how parents care for their children".
He adjusted his headset microphone and said, "My students tell me there are many student parents in the classroom, especially for that targeted medical class. Could you raise your hands so I know how many parents are here?"
As soon as he spoke, many hands were raised.
Lin Jie scanned over them and saw at least fifty or sixty people.
"Okay, please put your hands down! Could those whose profession is being a doctor or involved in medical-related work raise your hands again?"
Three or four dozen people raised their hands again.
Lin Jie nodded secretly, indeed more people from the industry were paying attention.
He cleared his throat and said, "This targeted medical class is all explained in detail on the school's website, and there's also a consultation phone line. Honestly, you won't learn any more insights from me."
"However, to satisfy your curiosity, I can give you some time to ask a few questions."
In an instant, over a hundred hands were raised, even many regular students joined in the excitement.
Lin Jie casually pointed at a well-dressed middle-aged man and said, "You, go ahead and ask a question!"
The middle-aged man blurted out, "Dr. Lin, is the targeted medical class only for next year's batch, or will it be every year? Dr. Lin, will you personally teach? Is the selection process solely based on your decision?"
Lin Jie pondered for a moment and answered, "As of now, the targeted medical class is confirmed only for next year, and there will be no second batch for at least the next three to five years."
"Whether there will be more later on depends on future circumstances."
"I will not directly teach, but I will be responsible for setting the teaching curriculum, creating the syllabus, and monitoring their learning performance. I will specifically be responsible for their practical internships in the later three years."
"As for the selection and assessment process, I am not in charge."
"The school will form an expert panel to handle this. However, I do have a veto power, to directly disqualify students I do not favor..."
After that, Lin Jie pointed to a few more people to ask questions.
However, most of the questions they asked were already explained on the website, just reconfirmed here by Lin Jie.
Fifteen minutes later, Lin Jie ended the on-site Q&A session and began today's lecture...
