Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 295: Never Advise Kindness Without Knowing Others’ Suffering
Dean Deng came over and happened to catch Xu Qinghuan trying to sell her pills.
Vice Secretary Zhang laughed and said, "How much for one pill?"
"Not expensive, just ten yuan apiece. Mainly because you serve the people, it’s a pity the pills can’t be invoiced, can’t go through the hospital accounts."
Deng Aiguo was concerned hearing her speak so righteously, afraid something might go wrong, since Xu Qinghuan is currently affiliated with their hospital, he hurried forward to stop her, "Doctor Xu, this isn’t appropriate, how can this be appropriate, speculative activities can’t be undertaken."
Xu Qinghuan just put away the pills, "Then take your time to recuperate!"
Deng Aiguo almost kneeled in front of Xu Qinghuan, he stopped her again, "Doctor Xu, since you have such good pills, why didn’t you bring them out for Vice Secretary Zhang? That’s not appropriate, is it?"
Xu Qinghuan said, "I mainly considered it for the sake of the Secretary, saying one pill costs ten yuan, but since you don’t want me to collect his money, wouldn’t the Secretary’s actions contradict the principle of not taking anything from the people?"
Deng Aiguo opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.
Vice Secretary Zhang, on the other hand, burst into laughter, gave his secretary a look, and his secretary quickly took out five ten-yuan notes and handed them to Xu Qinghuan, exchanging them for the five pills.
This is indeed speculative activities, but many things wouldn’t proceed without doing it this way.
Doesn’t Vice Secretary Zhang’s family buy things on the black market too? Surely they do, but even those who should be caught are caught.
The existence of something proves its rationality. [1]
What is rational will surely exist in the future. [2]
After Xu Qinghuan left, Deng Aiguo solemnly apologized to Vice Secretary Zhang, who waved it off, "You take care, I’m to be discharged now."
He couldn’t stay at the hospital any longer, if he stayed, Anguang County would be in huge trouble.
"Vice Secretary Zhang, your leg still hasn’t recovered fully, why not stay in the hospital to recuperate further? Is there something our hospital hasn’t done adequately?" Deng Aiguo asked anxiously.
Vice Secretary Zhang seemed a bit disappointed, "Old Deng, how come you’ve also caught this bureaucratic ailment? I’ve been in the hospital long enough, now there’s no need for injections or medication, continuously staying here and occupying public resources isn’t right."
Upon hearing him inquire about disaster relief, Xu Qinghuan sold him five pills, within the meaning of this transaction, Vice Secretary Zhang couldn’t help but think deeply, only admitting this child was truly perceptive.
Deng Aiguo had no choice, after arranging discharge procedures for Vice Secretary Zhang, he quickly sought out Xu Qinghuan.
"Oh dear, Doctor Xu, even if your pills are valuable, you shouldn’t be selling them like this, Vice Secretary Zhang injured his leg while helping the villagers, fifty yuan is quite a bit, making people pay this way is really inappropriate."
Xu Qinghuan sized up Deng Aiguo, "Dean Deng, then how should I sell them in your opinion?"
Deng Aiguo replied, "Selling them directly isn’t right, you could distribute the pills through our hospital, via prescriptions for the patients, however, ten yuan a pill is indeed too expensive, can’t you reduce the price a bit?"
"No reduction, the last five pills are gone." Xu Qinghuan said, "Oh, by the way, Dean Deng, I happen to have something to discuss with you, our production team has set up a factory, from now on I’ll be working there, afraid I won’t have time to work at the hospital;
Could you make arrangements for me to review yesterday’s surgery with everybody, settle this month’s salary for me, after which I won’t be coming anymore."
Deng Aiguo paled, "Doctor Xu, is it because of what I said earlier? To be honest, it was only because the other party is Vice Secretary Zhang that I said those things."
Xu Qinghuan, of course, knew that in the workplace, currying favor with bosses is commonplace.
Except, to Deng Aiguo, Vice Secretary Zhang is very significant, highly esteemed, capable of directly influencing his career prospects, but to Xu Qinghuan, he’s merely an ordinary patient.
As long as her medical skills were advanced enough, she could determine the life, illness, and death of everyone, from emperors to beggars.
Fearing nothing, the good pills should instead be sold to ordinary people, not leaving them impoverished.
"No, I think maybe I’m not suited to working in a hospital." Xu Qinghuan’s humility sounded almost arrogant, "Besides, I’m genuinely pressed for time."
In fact, she was speaking the truth, her thoughts didn’t align well with Song Yanqing or Deng Aiguo; their approach to handling matters was vastly different from hers.
Furthermore, she’s now quite renowned in Yan City, and there’s no need to settle for a small hospital, engaging in disputes over values with those people.
"It’s not possible, Doctor Xu, our hospital needs you, your medical expertise can treat many patients, having you means severe cases won’t need to be transferred to the city hospitals. In fact, even the city doctors aren’t as skilled as you.
Doctor Xu, I think you acquired your skills to cure the incurable and save the dying, the more capable you are, the more you should serve the people."
He actually planned for Xu Qinghuan to take regular shifts at the hospital, and now that she’s resigning, how could that work?
Xu Qinghuan smiled ambiguously at him, "If that’s the case, then I don’t even want this month’s salary, let’s skip the review meeting too, anyway it would be a waste of time."
Having said that, she turned to leave, but Deng Aiguo came over to stop her, "Doctor Xu, is there something the hospital isn’t doing well? Just tell us, and we’ll definitely change it."
In her past life, she had died from overexertion, even standing at the pinnacle of the pyramid couldn’t withstand the currents, inevitably spun around by whirlpools, even those necessary surgeries she repeatedly screened still ultimately exhausted her.
"Dean Deng, as I said, it has nothing to do with you folks, I just don’t want to do it anymore." Xu Qinghuan didn’t like being pressured at all, "If there are difficult cases the hospital can’t handle, and I’m available, I’ll help as much as I can."
Deng Aiguo obviously misunderstood her intentions, upon hearing this, he was overjoyed, "Then would you still do yesterday’s surgery review for us? We’ll learn as much as we possibly can."
Xu Qinghuan had no objections since she planned to do so anyway.
Once the review was done, Deng Aiguo settled Xu Qinghuan’s salary, seventy-seven yuan and eighty-five cents for the month, along with some vouchers, which Xu Qinghuan tucked into her pocket before preparing to leave.
Song Yanqing blocked her again, despite Xu Qinghuan’s composure, she was somewhat annoyed.
"Anything?"
Song Yanqing said, "Doctor Xu, did you decide to resign because of last night’s incident?"
Xu Qinghuan nodded, "Yes, I detest being schemed against."
Song Yanqing was taken aback but explained, "I believe you’ve misunderstood me, I don’t know yesterday’s patient; he was brought in as an acute alcohol poisoning case, and I intervened in the emergency.
The patient’s family mentioned he had issues with impotence and said only you could treat him, given the ongoing grudge between you and the family, you refused treatment, which might’ve been a mistake on my part to persuade you, but Doctor Xu, I don’t think refusing treatment was right."
Xu Qinghuan said, "Doctor Song, let’s both remember, ’Never advise benevolence without understanding one’s suffering.’ I hope you never quarrel with anyone in your life, and may you never have to treat your adversaries."
