My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Chapter 1434 - 572: Rapid Promotion, Appointed Deputy Team Leader

"Thank you, Vice Director Ye and Dean Bai, for nurturing me. I will do my utmost to strive for advancement."Xue Yan received the assurance and couldn’t help but smile with joy.

No one doesn’t want to climb the ranks and get rich; it’s just that they lack opportunities.

Vice Dean Ye said her chances were significant and was willing to proactively inform her about it, indicating that her chances of being elected as the new vice dean were extremely high.

"Just work hard! Both Dean Bai and I particularly hope that talented individuals like you, who are steadfast and diligent, can rise to higher positions. If a few outsiders without proper experience were to parachute in, it would be the misfortune of the hospital!"

Vice Dean Ye nodded to her.

In the past decade, Tuya Hospital has been able to develop rapidly, which indeed could not be separated from a batch of upright hospital-level leaders.

Even though Vice Dean Bai initially planned to sacrifice Zhou Can, a young trainee doctor, to protect the provisional discipline leader of the annex hospital, it cannot be said that Vice Dean Bai lacked moral character or harbored ill intentions.

It’s simply the way adults think.

To achieve the hospital’s greater good, sacrificing some minor interests is a mindset that top-level leaders must possess.

"Xiao Zhou, let’s talk about you next. I heard your preliminary exam scores for your graduate studies are excellent. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, your eligibility for graduate school should be quite secure. However, due to your lack of experience and the considerable disadvantage of your educational background, although your capabilities are strong and your character is very commendable, your advancement won’t be significant in this round of administrative reform."

Vice Dean Ye and Zhou Can could be considered old acquaintances.

The two had interacted many times, and Zhou Can had always left a very good impression on him.

Over the years, Vice Dean Ye had been trying his best to support Zhou Can.

Whenever he could help, he tried his best to provide assistance.

Zhou Can naturally discerned the good intentions; he was fairly close to Vice Dean Ye.

"My main focus now is on further improving my medical knowledge and striving to reach greater heights in surgical skills. Though the prospect of promotion is tempting, it’s not something I’m overly enthusiastic about. With a position comes greater responsibility, and I’m worried it might affect my medical skills growth."

Zhou Can spoke candidly about his thoughts.

He truly didn’t have a pressing desire for promotion at the moment.

"Xiao Zhou, this is actually a cognitive misconception on your part. Holding a position can be of two types: one where you take on part-time responsibilities, and another where you take charge full-time. The former is essentially a nominal position, but it can elevate your status, increase your weight within the department, the hospital, and even the entire medical system. For example, if you remain just an ordinary doctor and never hold any administrative leadership positions, you’ll have no chance of selection for vice dean or dean in the future."

"Starting with some deputy roles in your department, assisting the head of the department with its management, can polish your administrative abilities and boost your authority in the hospital. Why not seize the opportunity?"

Vice Dean Ye would not have been so patiently teaching these insights, which aren’t found in textbooks, to just anyone.

Forget textbooks; you seldom learn these even from superior doctors.

"Vice Dean Ye is right. If you truly harbor great ambitions, you should let go of some antiquated scholarly thoughts. When I first started working, I was just like you—aloof, thinking knowledge and ability trump everything. The saying I admired most then was, ’The true scholar has a rugged bone, values friendship, and despises officialdom.’ But society beat me down again and again. My girlfriend of six years was snatched away by a college classmate who I didn’t even think highly of. In the prefecture-level city’s People’s Hospital where I initially worked, I was fired after reporting senior leaders for taking kickbacks and keeping mistresses."

"But that senior leader faced no consequences. What kind of world is this, you say?"

Vice Dean Bai unusually shared some tales of his younger days with Zhou Can.

So it turned out that even someone as esteemed as Vice Dean Bai had once endured such grievances and hardships during his youth.

This made Zhou Can recall a profoundly classic statement.

Good-hearted people mature late, often being pushed to mature by malicious impositions. While others are clever and quick, they seemed naive and silly. While others weigh pros and cons, they offer genuine sincerity; while others scheme every which way, their souls gradually awaken.

Only after experiencing chilly disappointment several times can one grasp the treacherous depths of human desires.

Yet... how could Vice Dean Bai, knowing how society harshly treated him in his youth, think to easily sacrifice Zhou Can, a ’small figure,’ to safeguard a prospective discipline leader’s reputation?

Wasn’t this also a harsh lesson for Zhou Can?

However, Zhou Can had no intention of pursuing old grievances. Vice Dean Bai had already been forced to bow before him and provide ample compensation.

The matter was settled.

At this moment, Vice Dean Bai’s willingness to share his embarrassing stories from youth to advise him was an act of immense goodwill.

"Eventually, I came to realize that if someone wants to achieve great things, they need not only strong capabilities and talents but also many precious qualities and a profound understanding of human interactions. In you, I see some of my younger self’s reflections, and I hope you can avoid some avoidable pitfalls. As someone who’s been through it, I advise you: be genteel but not arrogant. Historically, even the renowned divine doctors of ancient times had titles or official positions."

Vice Dean Bai’s insights on life were immensely valuable.

One word, and the dreamer awakens.

It indeed sparked some awareness in Zhou Can, prompting him to reassess his life’s positioning.
