Chapter 371 Drawing Lots and Not Scolding Customers Without Reason

noon.

After a busy morning, Wang Mengde's stomach was already rumbling.

During this period, his workload was astonishingly large, with more than a hundred additional foreign patients. Even though he did not have to worry too much during normal treatment, he still had to meet with the patients and their families from time to time.

After all, these people came to China because of his fame. If he only met them once when they first arrived.

And then never show up again, it's inevitable that those people will be dissatisfied.

Therefore, it is necessary to check the room every few days.

Fortunately, the conditions of foreign patients are steadily improving. Those patients can clearly feel the changes in their bodies, so they reluctantly accept that Wang Mengde appears once every few days.

But for those big clients who can pay more, he needs to visit them every day.

These things currently take up almost half of his time every day. In the remaining half day, he has to deal with matters of the internal medicine department and research work.

I also cannot miss the four to five half-day consultations at Guang'anmen Hospital each week.

In the cafeteria.

While waiting in line, Wang Mengde smelled the aroma of stewed lamb.

Last month, a large Australian farmer came to China for treatment. His condition was already critical, but he came all the way to Wang Mengde for treatment, thinking that he might just give it a try.

For diseases that were very difficult for other doctors, they were very common in Wang Mengde's eyes. He first used acupuncture and massage to stimulate the vitality of this large farmer.

Then I used Chinese herbal medicine to slowly regulate the body.

After a few days, I felt much better. Even the situation where I couldn't eat before coming and could only rely on intravenous drips to maintain nutrition has improved.

After nearly a month, he was finally able to eat liquid food.

Therefore, after recovering some of his energy, he specially shipped a shipload of beef, mutton, fruits, nuts and other supplies from Australia as a token of his gratitude.

After the beef and mutton were delivered, the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Guang'anmen Hospital received a lot of them.

In the canteen, beef and mutton are stewed every other day, and all the employees are excited every time it is time to eat.

For them, life at the company is like a dream. Although they don’t eat meat every meal, they have meat every other day, which makes them feel like they are dreaming.

With more oil in their stomachs, everyone's face became shiny and rosy, their bodies gradually became stronger, and they became more motivated at work.

"Hello, Vice President Wang. Please line up in front of me."

At this time, the dermatologist in front accidentally saw Wang Mengde standing behind him and spoke hurriedly.

He was not trying to curry favor with Wang Mengde just because he became the vice president. After all, in units and factories of this era, employees had great confidence.

Even if it's your leader, you don't have to pay attention to him if you don't want to. As long as he doesn't make any mistakes, no one can be fired.

The main reason for respecting Wang Mengde is that dermatology often needs him to provide a backup.

Now, everyone in their department, from the doctors who have just started working to the department director, has become accustomed to it. When there is a skin disease that they cannot treat, they go to ask Vice President Wang for help.

It can be said that the disease can be cured. Not only that, they will also patiently teach some medical skills.

Every time, everyone in the department can’t wait to get together to listen to the lecture.

He was fortunate enough to listen to it several times, and he gained a lot from it. He even learned a few proven recipes.

Another reason is naturally the benefits provided by the company in the past two years.

The staff building has relieved most of the employees of their worries. The supplies distributed from time to time and the food in the canteen have ensured everyone’s life is secure.

Everyone clearly felt that the employees of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Guang'anmen Hospital lived a better life than those in other units.

Of course, there is one most important reason, which is that he heard the news yesterday.

Due to the influx of a large number of foreign patients, the lady in charge there was short of staff.

Wang Mengde has already applied to President Lu and has been approved. In the future, a group of people will be transferred from various departments to help.

As soon as this news came out, it instantly aroused the interest of people other than famous Chinese medicine experts and qualified doctors.

It would be better to go over and help!

Assisting Guang'anmen Hospital in treating foreign patients is an act of obtaining foreign exchange, which will be of great help in future promotions and awards.

As we all know, we earned tens of millions of dollars in foreign exchange last year alone. With so many new patients this year, the number will definitely be higher.

What's more, you can also learn advanced medical skills and secret recipes from Vice President Wang.

This is a skill that will allow you to make a living in the future, and hundreds of colleagues are eyeing these positions.

Therefore, the young doctors all showed off their skills, asked around, and some smart ones even started to volunteer to ask the department heads.

That's why this dermatologist is so attentive.

Wang Mengde was naturally well aware of this situation, and he refused with a smile:
"Thank you, comrade. Although I am the vice president, I must abide by the rules and cannot make special arrangements."

In this era, even if you have a high status, you cannot blatantly seek special treatment.

Otherwise, if you are taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, even if nothing happens in the end, you will still be disgusted.

There is really no need for this convenience.

Also, in the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Guang'anmen Hospital, except for the Internal Medicine Department where he can make decisions and who will help in the later stages, the affairs of other departments are the responsibility of their respective department heads.

After eating a meal of stewed mutton, Wang Mengde burped with satisfaction and then walked towards the internal medicine department floor.

He had already notified everyone in the department in advance that everyone would draw lots during the lunch hour today.

The lucky few who are drawn at the end will go to the intensive care unit to assist him in his work.

Of course, several of his junior brothers and sisters had been following him to help for a long time and did not take up any places, so they were excluded.

Similar draws will occur in other departments in the next few days.

Those who won the prize were overjoyed, while those who didn’t win sighed inwardly.

Once you miss such a good thing, all steps will be wrong.

But there is no way, drawing lots is a very fair method. If you don’t win, you can only blame your bad luck.

Nanluoguxiang.

In the courtyard.

Today is Sunday. Early in the morning, just after breakfast, Ran Xiaomei urged her eldest son to go out quickly.

"Meng De, take this piece of mutton to my father-in-law's house. Go early and come back early. Come with me to the grocery store to buy some things later."

"Okay, I'll go over immediately."

Wang Mengde agreed, then picked up the piece of mutton weighing more than two kilograms, pushed his bicycle and was about to go out.

"Wait a minute, put on your coat. It's very cold in the morning and evening. Don't catch a cold."

Seeing her eldest son preparing to leave in thin clothes, Ran Xiaomei hurriedly said.

She didn't care about being immune to cold or heat, she just knew that the weather was getting cold and the children had to wear more clothes.

Anyway, there was plenty of fabric at home and a sewing machine, so everyone made two or three sets of clothes to wear every year.

Ride a bike and you will reach Caochang Hutong in just a few minutes.

The piece of mutton tied to Wang Mengde's handlebars made many people envious.

However, the neighbors here also knew him and knew that he was the son-in-law of the old He family, so they all greeted him with a smile.

When I entered the yard, I happened to see my sister-in-law He Yanan washing dishes by the sink.

"Oh, my brother-in-law is here."

As she spoke, she quickly washed her hands, wiped them on her apron, and without even bothering to wash the dishes, she smiled and greeted him. "Come over and bring some mutton. This is top quality, with some fat and some lean meat. Let's stew it for lunch today."

Wang Mengde handed over the piece of mutton with a smile.

"That's a lot! That's great! I can have a good meal at noon."

He Yanan's eyes widened immediately when she saw the piece of mutton that weighed more than two kilograms.

Although the family often received various supplies from my brother-in-law, including meat.

But her stomach was still not full. Every time she saw meat, her eyes would light up and she would wish she could eat it raw.

"What's wrong? Is the food at work not good?"

After entering the living room and watching his sister-in-law pouring water for him, Wang Mengde sat on a chair and asked curiously.

Logically speaking, the unit she joined was a department that managed money, so the food in the cafeteria shouldn't be bad.

“The food in our cafeteria is very average, not to mention the lack of oil and water, even the dishes are the same over and over again.

It is because you, my brother-in-law, often send me meat that I can satisfy my cravings. Otherwise, I would be starving and thin. "

He Yanan placed a cup of tea in front of her brother-in-law, sat down next to him, and said with a pout.

She has been working in the company for three or four months and is familiar with the business, but the food in the cafeteria is not to her liking.

After all, in the past two or three years, Wang Mengde has sent some supplies to their family every now and then.

She has long been accustomed to greasy meals.

"You are so ungrateful for what you have. Many people are still hungry, and you actually complain that the food in the company cafeteria is not oily enough.

It seems that you have forgotten how uncomfortable it was to be hungry.

Also, don’t say this kind of thing outside in the future. If others take it too far, they will label you as a hedonist, which will be troublesome.”

He Guangyao walked in from outside and gave his daughter a scolding.

In the factory where he worked, someone complained about the food in the cafeteria and was labeled.

The final outcome was very bad, so he was a little nervous.

"Dad, I'll only tell my brother-in-law. I won't tell anyone else."

He Yanan bit her lip and muttered softly.

"Try not to say anything if you can. Be careful of the walls having ears."

He Guangyao's expression softened, and then he spoke.

Wang Mengde, who was standing nearby, saw that the atmosphere was a little serious, so he smiled and deliberately asked:

"Yanan, how are you doing at work? Have you adapted well in the past few months?"

"Brother-in-law, I have already adapted to it. My colleagues at work are all very nice, and my boss is also very good to me.

There is one bad thing, many older women and aunts in my workplace keep introducing me to potential partners, and I can’t refuse them.”

He Yanan said with a frown.

From the first day she entered the unit, there were several women around her who would often tell her that they wanted to introduce her to young men.

"If you don't want to find a partner so early, just tell them clearly and don't bother with them in the future.

By the way, learn more in the company, preferably learn some accounting knowledge."

Wang Mengde gave a few pointers.

After resting for a while at Lao He's house, he refused the invitation and rode his bike directly back to Nanluoguxiang.

At this time, Ran Xiaomei was already waiting for him, holding a grocery bag and carrying a basket.

On the way, when they were about to reach the grocery store, Wang Mengde asked curiously:

"Mom, what are we going to buy? I remember that we have everything we need at home."

“We have enough food at home, but we haven’t used the rations in our food book this month. If we don’t use them, they will be wasted, so I thought about buying all the rations back.

We don’t have enough for our family, but your father-in-law’s family, and your grandparents in Tiange Village all need it.”

Ran Xiaomei said happily.

Although there are more supplies at home than we can eat or use up, we still have the gene of thrift in our bones.

Every month, she is the one who buys all the necessities for the family and brings them home, without any waste.

Arrived at the grocery store.

There were already more than a dozen people in the store buying things.

Fatty Guo was also busy, so Wang Mengde did not go over to disturb him. He just planned to say hello to him before leaving.

After waiting for a while, it was finally their turn.

Ran Xiaomei took out a jar from the basket, handed the grocery book to the salesperson, and said, "Give me two taels of sesame paste and two pounds of eggs."

The salesperson looked up and saw that it was the two of them. His originally indifferent face instantly broke into a smile.

"Sister-in-law, you are here, wait a moment, I will make you some sesame paste first.

You came at the right time today. A new bucket of sesame paste for this month arrived in the store this morning. I will fill a new one for you."

As he spoke, he took the jar swiftly and then slowly poured the liquid into the jar with a wooden grape.

When she was done, she set the jar carefully on the counter.

Then he squatted down and began to pick out the eggs, saying:

"Sister-in-law, the quality of this batch of eggs is not very good. I will carefully pick them for you and put them under the light to ensure that they will not go bad after you take them home for ten days or half a month."

"I think these eggs are all good. There shouldn't be any bad ones."

Ran Xiaomei stretched her neck to look inside the counter and then said.

"Now all parts of the country are protecting the capital. This batch of eggs was transported from the two lakes area. It has been such a long time, so it is inevitable that some of them will go bad."

The salesperson explained loudly.

She didn't care at all that the people waiting in line behind her to buy something heard her.

If anyone has any objections, just don't buy anything. It's the country's business after all, and selling more or less will not affect wages.

Moreover, on the wall behind him, there were big words written: "Do not hit or scold customers without reason."

After a long while, she weighed two kilograms of eggs and carefully placed them in the basket. Ran Xiaomei then said:

"Please get me two more rolls of toilet paper. I want the red kind."

Most toilet paper at that time was of very rough quality and was often dyed red.

Seeing the salesperson about to take the rough toilet paper, Wang Mengde couldn't help it. The quality of this paper was too poor and unhygienic.

So he hurriedly said:

"Can you please change the toilet paper to white instead of red?"

"Meng De, buy the red one. It's cheaper."

"No, you still have to buy better toilet paper."

In the end, unable to persuade her son, Ran Xiaomei nodded in agreement.
