Zhao Feiyang didn’t beat around the bush, he wanted Xu Chunliang to follow up on resolving the property rights issue of Weishan Island Hospital.
Xu Chunliang was a bit puzzled, as the branch already had a director, Jin Yonghao, and now Vice Director Yan Huaiyi from Changxing is also here. Why did Zhao Feiyang bypass the two of them and choose him?
Zhao Feiyang told Xu Chunliang that he didn’t trust the abilities of the other two, and the only one he could rely on was him.
This declaration was sowhat encouraging for Xu Chunliang. In fact, Zhao Feiyang had already heard rumors that Yan Huaiyi had intentions to leave Changxing soon. How could he expect such a person to dedicatedly work for Changxing?
As for Jin Yonghao, if he were capable, the branch wouldn’t be in its current state.
Zhao Feiyang felt that destiny had its own arrangents. Just as he needed a sharp blade, fate placed Xu Chunliang on Weishan Island, giving him no reason not to use him.
He also believed that Xu Chunliang’s capabilities could surely help him carve a path out of the chaotic situation.
Since he intended to use Xu Chunliang, Zhao Feiyang gave him full trust and shared his entire future plan for Weishan Island with him, sothing he hadn’t even revealed to Yan Huaiyi.
Previously, Zhao Feiyang had promised Yan Huaiyi that the delayed wages would be paid within two days, mainly to stabilize the branch’s situation and prevent the staff from making a big fuss.
However, before this could be implented, the branch staff had already begun organized protests.
The attitude of Hu Shan Town Governnt forced Zhao Feiyang to reassess Gu Houyi’s decision to withhold salaries.
The protest was directed at Changxing, but it was the Hu Shan Town Governnt that was troubled, having to imdiately address this so-called historical issue.
Zhao Feiyang believed this was also Changxing’s historical problem. When Gu Houyi took over the Weishan Island Branch, he should have clarified the property rights. His ambiguity led to today’s predicant.
Blaming predecessors for issues is a common practice for successors, especially shortly after taking over, making it the best ti to attribute problems to historical legacies.
The national-level resort is still at the planning stage, and before an official announcent, Changxing still has opportunities.
Zhao Feiyang entrusted Xu Chunliang with controlling the situation, allowing him to decide when to release the salaries.
Once Xu Chunliang felt that the situation on Weishan Island beca uncontrollable, he would arrange for the financial departnt to release the salaries imdiately.
Xu Chunliang decided to accept this task, but he also had a condition, hoping Zhao Feiyang would provide as much detailed information as possible.
To choose the most suitable response strategies, they must understand the branch’s past and present, which Zhao Feiyang assured wouldn’t be a problem.
Xu Chunliang also briefly reported the current chaos at the branch, and Zhao Feiyang encouraged him to proceed freely.
For example, if Xu Chunliang could recover the pending rent for the surrounding storefronts, the hospital would offer him a ten percent reward from it.
Yan Huaiyi was now most concerned about when the wages would be deposited. Just now, Finance Chief Li Jinxia ca to him, having already contacted Changxing’s finance departnt, and they said they hadn’t received any notice for salary release yet.
Yan Huaiyi reassured Li Jinxia not to worry, as such a significant issue couldn’t involve deception from the director. He assured her the salaries would definitely be deposited within two days.
Li Jinxia was skeptical, but as a small branch finance chief, she could only keep a close watch on the accounts.
Yan Huaiyi wasn’t in good shape today, starting to hiccup after breakfast. Initially, he didn’t take it seriously, assuming drinking so hot tea would help, but as noon approached, it hadn’t stopped.
This condition prevented him from going to the town governnt today, as it’s clearly unsuitable for negotiations.
Feeling sothing was wrong with his body, he sought out expert Miao Xiujun.
Before retirent, Miao Xiujun worked in the gastroenterology departnt at Changxing Hospital, and this condition is terd diaphragmatic spasm in Western dicine and called "hiccup" in Chinese dicine.
Miao Xiujun believed the hiccups were typically caused by gastric issues. Given Yan Huaiyi’s history of chronic gastritis, the new environnt, and the substantial alcohol consumption, he might have acclimatization issues, thus deciding to focus on treating the gastrointestinal tract.
He prescribed Oprazole to inhibit gastric acid, aluminum phosphate gel to protect the gastric mucosa, supplented by Amoxicillin capsules for inflammation.
He advised Yan Huaiyi to drink plenty of hot water upon returning and try holding his breath to alleviate symptoms.
These basic thods were familiar to Yan Huaiyi, and after taking dication, he went to rest in his dormitory, entrusting the afternoon’s quality control eting to Jin Yonghao.
In fact, given the chaotic state of the Weishan Island Branch, quality control barely existed, and maintaining basic hospital operations was an achievent. The so-called quality control eting was rely a formality for reporting to higher authorities.
Xu Chunliang didn’t attend the eting either. Zhao Feiyang had already clarified his task, leaving quality control to others while his focus was on resolving the branch’s property issues.
Zhao Feiyang was in charge of coordinating with the upper echelons of Weishan County, while Xu Chunliang handled coordination at the grassroots level in Hu Shan Town. He was also given a title: Special Assistant to the Director of Changxing Hospital, which would be formally stated tomorrow.
This wasn’t just for appeasing but also to facilitate Xu Chunliang’s work. Without a suitable title, how could he negotiate with the local governnt?
Before beginning his work, Xu Chunliang had to understand the background and developnt of this matter.
He spent the entire afternoon in his room studying materials in this area.
Xu Chunliang’s style is either not to do it at all or to go all out once accepted.
After his symptoms eased, Xu Daqing first went ho, and Jin Yonghao, on behalf of the hospital, made a formal decision to suspend him. Considering the possible fierce retaliation, the plan was to announce the dismissal a few days later.
The result of the handling from the police station had also co out—detention for seven days and a fine of 500 yuan.
To the north of Weishan Island is the Ma Lou Detention Center. After recovering from his injuries and undergoing a health check, Xu Daqing could be sent for detention.
Zhang Haibin ca to the hospital in the afternoon and participated in the quality control eting. His overall performance was fairly normal.
After the eting, Jin Yonghao and Tang Mingi went together to see Yan Huaiyi to report work. They hadn’t even entered the door when they heard hiccup sounds from the room.
Even after taking dicine, Yan Huaiyi didn’t see any improvent. He had thought of all sorts of thods, but from morning until now, his mood had turned extrely irritable.
The two saw his state and felt embarrassed to report to him. Tang Mingi suggested that Yan Huaiyi could see a Traditional Chinese dicine practitioner.
Jin Yonghao knew there was a TCM clinic in Shiliang Village nearby, where the sitting doctor was surnad Liu. His skills were quite good, with several secret recipes, and he offered to take Yan Huaiyi there.
Yan Huaiyi shook his head like a rattle drum. As Vice Director Changxing, having to seek a rural doctor would make people laugh off their teeth. Plus, his hiccups were starting to beco stylish, hic, hic, hic...
Listening to his hiccups, Tang Mingi recalled a line from a Tang poem, "Curved neck singing to the sky," and couldn’t hold back her laughter.
She quickly stifled her laughter, realizing it was too late. Yan Huaiyi looked at her with a face full of grievance, hic, hic, hic... thinking that Tang Mingi was gloating.
Tang Mingi suggested, "Isn’t Xiaoxu from a family of TCM practitioners? Maybe he has a solution."
Jin Yonghao said, "A family of TCM practitioners doesn’t necessarily an they know TCM."
"He...hic...he...hic hic...isn’t a doc...tor...tor...hic hic hic..." This stuttering hiccup was a rare delight to hear, like a rap performance.
Not only Tang Mingi wanted to laugh, but Jin Yonghao also wanted to laugh. However, he could hold back; Tang Mingi’s threshold for laughter was a bit lower.
At this point, Xu Chunliang also heard the commotion and ca over, "Dean Yan, what’s going on? Still hiccuping?"
Hic hic hic...Yan Huaiyi’s hiccups had him trembling, hoping the three would leave quickly so he could quietly savor this sour experience.
Despite being a leader, do I not care about my face? My image?
Tang Mingi said, "Xiaoxu, perfect timing. Your Huichun Hall is an old brand in Dongzhou. Do you have any ancestral secret recipe for treating hiccups?"
Xu Chunliang asked, "Did you see anyone about it? What did the experts say?"
Jin Yonghao said, "Director Miao examined it: diaphragm spasm."
Xu Chunliang said, "Not at all, not at all. I think it’s hiccups. The disease is located in the diaphragm; the stomach is below the diaphragm; stomach qi rises and agitates the diaphragm."
Jin Yonghao thought to himself that it seed sowhat logical. But isn’t hiccup just diaphragm spasm? What’s with the ancient text? Young people have so many good things to do, yet they choose to show off. Don’t they know everyone is in the dical system?
Tang Mingi said, "You surely have a way to treat it, right?"
Xu Chunliang smiled and said he could give it a try. He approached Yan Huaiyi and had him straddle the chair for a massage.
Yan Huaiyi didn’t care if Xu Chunliang was a doctor now; as long as he could cure the hiccup, it would be fine. Western dicine had already been tried and didn’t work, hoping Xu Chunliang learned real skills from his grandfather.
The first-choice treatnt for hiccups is massaging the Yifeng acupoint.
Yi ans to discard, and Feng ans wind; this acupoint can treat stroke and was thus nad Yifeng.
Yifeng acupoint is one of the commonly used acupoints on the Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao ridian, located on the face, below the ear, in the posterior inferior concave part next to the earlobe root.
The Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao ridian and the Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder ridian cross here. Pressing this acupoint can expel wind, connect the channels, and open the orifices.
Hiccup’s cause is the disorder of the qi chanism. The Sanjiao is the path of the operation of water-fire qi. The Sanjiao ridian governs diseases caused by qi, and pressing the Yifeng acupoint can help smooth the qi chanism of the Sanjiao.
An expert knows if there’s a real deal. Xu Chunliang was accurate in locating acupoints, holding down Yan Huaiyi’s Yifeng acupoint. With slight pressure, Yan Huaiyi’s cheeks imdiately felt sore and bloated, like swallowing a lemon, as if a large amount of hydrogen peroxide had quickly injected into his parotid gland.
Yan Huaiyi’s mouth and tongue flowed with saliva, and as Xu Chunliang pressed the Yifeng acupoint, the intervals between his hiccups noticeably lengthened.
