Chapter 1467: Chapter 587: Assistant Qin’s Complaints, Securing the Precious Position (Part 2)
Dean Qin’s assistant looked up and greeted Zhou Can. He then lowered his head, completed the approval of the documents in hand, and only then put down his work and looked at Zhou Can.
In terms of attitude, he was obviously somewhat indifferent compared to the enthusiasm shown last time.
Zhou Can knew well that taking the position in the Quality Control Department, which he reserved for his brother-in-law, must have made this assistant unhappy.
"Dr. Zhou is a young and promising talent, very impressive!"
The assistant praised Zhou Can out of the blue, leaving Zhou Can a bit at a loss.
"You flatter me!"
He could only respond with a platitude, cautiously handling the situation.
"Haha, young people are indeed humble. I heard that in the last month, the quality of surgeries in the Emergency Department has significantly improved, and the overall treatment quality of the department has followed suit, all thanks to you. I didn’t realize that you’re not only skilled in surgery but also in management!"
The assistant continued with his compliments.
The matter of Zhou Can joining the Quality Control Department had been withheld by him; he knew it and Zhou Can knew it as well.
Zhou Can had tried various ways to reach him, and he was well aware of Zhou Can’s intentions.
Thinking that avoiding Zhou Can and not giving him the opportunity to plead or offer gifts would prevent him from entering the Quality Control Department, he was proven wrong when Zhou Can broke through the assistant’s suppression with direct strategic maneuvers.
The assistant, while unhappy, found himself admiring Zhou Can a bit more.
Anyone who shows extraordinary intelligence at a young age usually achieves impressive results as they grow older.
"It’s all thanks to the leadership of Director Lou and Dr. Xu, I dare not take full credit for it."
Zhou Can wasn’t someone who would easily fall for praise.
Again, he responded with careful diplomacy.
"Don’t be nervous. I called you here today following Dean Zhu’s guidance; we’re looking to give you more responsibilities. Our hospital has always had a fair talent promotion mechanism. Although your academic background is slightly lacking and your experience is still relatively shallow, the abilities you’ve displayed have caught the hospital’s attention. We’ve decided to provide you with a new opportunity for growth."
Dean Qin’s assistant gestured with a smile, indicating that Zhou Can should not feel restrained.
"Thank you, Dean Qin, for nurturing me, and thank you to the hospital for fostering my growth!"
Zhou Can expressed his gratitude directly.
Even before Dean Qin announced Zhou Can’s new position, he had already thanked him.
This was not impatience but a form of wisdom.
First, elevate the other party.
"I know something about the Emergency Department; in the past six months, the quality of surgeries has been concerning, and follow-up evaluation rates have been far below those of other excellent departments. Therefore, I also demanded the Quality Control Department increase supervision and management of the Emergency Department, but with minimal effect. It seems self-governance is still needed!"
Dean Qin’s assistant wasn’t quick to announce Zhou Can’s new position but kept venting minor complaints from his heart.
This is understandable.
Zhou Can had taken the Quality Control Department vacancy reserved for his brother-in-law, leaving him displeased.
He had tried pushing the improvement of surgery quality in the Emergency Department, but the department wasn’t cooperative, making the efforts of the Quality Control Department futile. This led to upper management questioning the assistant’s work capabilities to some extent.
Now Zhou Can, being unexpectedly successful, had significantly improved surgical and medical quality in the Emergency Department, which was akin to slapping Dean Qin’s assistant in the face.
Several factors unfavorable to Dean Qin’s assistant and favorable to Zhou Can combined, making the assistant naturally displeased, and venting was expected.
It seems self-governance is still needed, which served as an excuse for Dean Qin’s assistant.
"Our hospital has seen robust development over the years, achieving great progress in many areas. However, there are quite a few issues, some are residual problems, and some are new. Medical quality has always been a priority for any hospital. The Quality Control Department bears the heavy responsibility of overseeing medical quality for the entire hospital, urgently needing talented individuals like you. How about joining the Medical Quality Control Department to contribute your efforts?"
After venting, Dean Qin’s assistant got right to the point.
When soliciting Zhou Can’s opinion, a sly glimmer appeared in his eyes.
Generally, this query is more symbolic or formal.
No one would oppose it.
The most they would do is say a few humble words, thank the leadership for their trust, and express concern about lacking ability to excel in the role.
Upon seeing a sly glimmer in Dean Qin’s assistant’s eyes, Zhou Can immediately abandoned his usual humility.
He did not decline any further.
Instead, he gratefully said, "Thank you, Dean Qin, for this opportunity. Being able to contribute to the hospital’s construction and development is every employee’s responsibility and duty. I will indeed take on this, no matter what. If my work isn’t up to par, please do correct me often."
In terms of conversational skills and techniques, despite Zhou Can being young.
When seriousness counts, he doesn’t lose to any seasoned veteran of fifty-something years.
Dean Qin’s assistant didn’t hear the expected words of decline, thus showing a hint of disappointment.
However, the disappointment was only a fleeting glance in his eyes.
In this situation, typically, if Zhou Can responded with conventional humility, saying he feared not living up to leadership’s expectations, Dean Qin’s assistant was likely to immediately tell Zhou Can, "You have a point."
In that case, there’s no rush. You can further enrich your experience before taking on additional responsibilities.
Even if Dean Zhu pursued an inquiry later, Dean Qin’s assistant could answer well.
It wasn’t that he didn’t offer Zhou Can an opportunity, but that the young man felt he needed more growth.
Unfortunately, Zhou Can saw through Dean Qin’s assistant’s little trick and didn’t follow the usual pattern.
Dean Qin’s assistant was indeed quite formidable.
Realizing there was no way to prevent Zhou Can from entering the Quality Control Department, he accepted the inevitable and let go of all negative thoughts.
With a smile, he said to Zhou Can, "Welcome aboard to the Medical Quality Control Department. According to procedure, every new member starts from the grassroots. You are now a standard member of the first group in the Quality Control Department. I am your leader, if you have any good suggestions for work, feel free to bring them to me. If you encounter any problems, you can promptly inform me."
Well, it turns out this vacant position is in the first group of the Quality Control Department.
No wonder Dean Qin’s assistant was reluctant to give it to Zhou Can.
If his brother-in-law successfully entered the Quality Control Department, accumulating achievements would have been a breeze for him.
Additionally, there are five groups within the Quality Control Department; because of Dr. Xu’s incident, the third group was directly eradicated.
This eradication actually means dissolved, canceled.
It doesn’t mean killing all the members of that group.
Back then, due to Dr. Xu’s medical accident, many were implicated.
Not only was Dr. Xu’s department shut down directly, but the third group in the Quality Control Department, responsible for oversight, was also disbanded.
This shows just how terrifying that storm was.
Even today, many hospital leaders still shy away from it, listing it as taboo.
Currently, the Quality Control Department actually only has four groups, with the first group’s leader always doubling as the head of the Quality Control Department.
Moreover, the head of the Quality Control Department is personally either the Dean or an assistant to the Dean.
This shows how important the first group is.
Even though Zhou Can is merely a standard member of the first group, it’s equivalent to entering the core team, putting him at a greater advantage compared to members of the other three groups.
His authority will also be somewhat greater.
This is comparable to the eunuchs beside the emperor.
Despite the ridicule often faced by the eunuchs for their status, no one dared question their authority; even the highest-ranking officials would give them due respect.
While working, if Zhou Can finds a problem or anything else, he can directly report to Dean Qin’s assistant, granting him considerable real power.
This phenomenon is also known as overflow of authority.
It’s similar to borrowing the power of a tiger.
"Today everyone is quite busy, and I will introduce you to the other members of the first group during a meeting another day. Your new appointment will be announced hospital-wide tomorrow."
Dean Qin’s assistant continued.
"Alright!"
Zhou Can naturally nodded and agreed obediently.
"Now, let’s talk about the scope of work for members of the Quality Control Department. Currently, there are four groups, each responsible for certain departments and related areas of medical quality control. Whoever runs into a problem will be responsible for it."
