Her Cultivation Diary-Chapter 1889 - 1692: Not a Ruthless Boss

Doctor Wu is truly patient.

Despite his young age, being able to circulate as an intern in a hospital for a year or two leaves little room for any temper these days, right?

Just being able to live energetically is quite remarkable.

Now, even though Doctor Xiaoguo’s instructions are a bit odd, and the rural clinic indeed has nothing, he still holds the medical records, watching everyone come in one by one, maintaining a gentle demeanor, speaking kindly, and recording everything that needs to be asked, demonstrating considerable detail and patience.

Just seeing this basic skill tells you he’s quite competent.

Qin Beibei had a runny nose, which the parents didn’t take seriously, but he noted it down carefully.

He even knew that the child was in an incubator for a few days after birth and is slightly weaker than average.

But this is no big deal. Knowing they drove from the city for vacation and ensuring the child had no other symptoms, he didn’t even prescribe any medicine, instead advising them to check if they could get some lamb.

Thick lamb soup with some ginger slices and pepper, encouraging the child to drink a bit to sweat, and avoid blowing directly from the air conditioner, should just about do the trick.

They say eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, and lamb is also suitable for summer nourishment.

Such advice might not be acceptable in a hospital but fits perfectly in a rural clinic.

It shows he blends well with the environment.

Moreover, He Tuo is so energetic, even bringing a dog along when asking questions, but he doesn’t mind either.

He gently asked if they could temporarily be separated.

This sentence greatly increased He Tuo’s liking for him because he also didn’t want to be with Little Ten all the time.

But now, looking at him sticking close—it’s either land or river here; would he really dive into the river and not come out?

On TV, people use reed pipes to hide in the river for a day, but who knows if that’s feasible...

The parents don’t yet know He Tuo has such dangerous thoughts, but Little Ten senses the person in charge isn’t up to any good.

So, even though he obediently wags his tail and moves aside, as long as he wants, he can leap up and press the person down with no dignity at all.

Outside, the two assistants also cooperated quite well.

One assisted at the side, taking records, feeling pulses, coordinating arrangements, and cleaning cupping sets and scraping boards.

The other one had likely worked at a clinic before and had some experience.

After all, most things in the clinic are a mix of Chinese and Western medicine. She took a look at the medicine cabinet beside her. When Doctor Xiaoguo wrote prescriptions and silently checked them against the medicine cabinet.

To avoid mistakes, each medicine was weighed with an electronic scale and placed aside.

It goes without saying, their meticulous and unflustered performance is very suitable for our village.

Doctor Xiaoguo was genuinely satisfied, finding this good and that good.

Yet, with the interviews being so brief, it’s tough to decide.

But it’s okay, she has someone to discuss with.

Afraid of scaring the interviewees, Zhang Yanping didn’t dare show up today at all.

But his absence didn’t stop him from asking more questions on WeChat.

When hearing her dilemma, he casually replied, "Then just keep them all. Are you missing those few thousand bucks now?"

Having one more nurse, with full benefits, salary bonuses, and housing allowances, adds up to at most eighty thousand a year.

For his wealthy girlfriend, is this 80,000 a big deal?

Doctor Xiaoguo still discusses with him seriously:

"It’s not about the money, but about not recklessly inflating labor costs."

"In this small place of mine, why do I need so many people?"

She was very conflicted.

But for Zhang Yanping, it was clearly unnecessary.

When is manpower ever excessive?

"During midsummer, how much time is wasted daily on cooling tea, mugwort tea, moving big buckets, boiling, adding water and coal?"

"In winter, there’s the warming soup, in summer there’s the production of the dog-day paste, and when people occasionally have headaches or fevers, do you still want to prepare some plasters?"

"Also, you were ambitious about setting up a production line before; surely the production volume of pills will increase significantly this year, right?"

"You make those pills, the formula needs you personally. But for some preliminary processes, isn’t having someone to assist easier?"

Setting up a production line isn’t realistic, but constantly consuming manpower like this—how can a good doctor sit all day like a pastry chef?

Last year wasn’t prepared with as much volume as this year, and even then you earned nearly seven figures. Surely you can’t earn less this year?

He even asked, "When we first met, weren’t you constantly holding a notebook, recording and flipping through it... do you even get much time for reading this year?"

This was practically a finishing blow.

For medical students, being inseparable from learning might be a lifelong thing.

She now has accumulated experience, but life is long. Some skills can’t be built solely on experience!

It’s still necessary to study, to fill in gaps, and to review and learn new things.

Doctor Xiaoguo realized: her boyfriend may look rough, but his brain is really sharp!

So, a few thousand a month indeed isn’t an issue for her.

Instead, if she could find reliable people to free herself up, that would be more appropriate.

Besides—

Zhang Yanping delivered another killer argument: "Do you know how many people elsewhere, like you, have to interview to find one satisfactory candidate?"

His friend opened a lottery store in the urban area, recruiting those with a college degree or above, just to sit there, watch the phone to view customer information, and issue tickets.

For such a simple task, she recruited two people. One holding a phone playing games, refusing to issue tickets unless the game was over.

But some matches are timed to those crucial few minutes.

The other didn’t play games but was completely oblivious. Her boss was lifting and tidying in the store—which should’ve been her job.

Yet when seeing the boss do it himself, she just strolled to the store next door to buy snacks.

This happened daily.

None stayed for a month, and after a month of recruiting these two incapable ones, her friend’s blood pressure was about to soar.

And for Zhang Yanping?

His girlfriend had three interviewees at once, each winning her approval, wasn’t that luck?

Doctor Xiaoguo thought of those she encountered while operating a clinic in the city and was instantly bursting with joy!

"Yeah, how come ever since I came here, my luck improved so much? All the job applicants are so competent."

There’s no need for us to choose; the two houses across the street are just right, one for the nurse, one for the doctor...

We are not heartless bosses, money is not a problem!
