I was reborn after my cousin stole my life.

Chapter 180: I will continue to work hard

There aren't many doctors in the Traditional Chinese Medicine department, and the selection process isn't complicated. It's all based on seniority, one doctor per year, in order. After graduation, some return to work at the hospital, while others are transferred to other hospitals.

The decision to give next year's spot to Yuan Xiu is not something that Director Hao can make alone; it has been discussed with the hospital leadership. She is suitable in every way, both in terms of personal performance and political awareness.

The Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine is facing a shortage of young talent next year, and training Yuan Xiu is a way to cultivate young technical backbones for the department.

Yuan Xiu was so surprised that her mouth slightly opened.

Should we give her the doctor's position?

Jiang Zhou had previously mentioned that he could give her one of the two nursing positions, but they didn't know that the two nursing positions were for specialized training, while the position that Director Hao gave her in advance was for training her directly as a doctor.

"What? Are you so happy you've gone mad?"

Yuan Xiu shut her mouth. "Thank you, Director. I will continue to work hard!"

I'll work hard to pass the exam!

If I don't pass the exam, then I'll accept...

No, the college entrance examination has been reinstated, so where would the recommendation quota come from?

Therefore, the spot that Director Hao gave her in advance was just a blank IOU.

For some reason, Yuan Xiu felt a little disappointed.

"Don't compete with them for the nursing positions this year," Director Hao said.

Director, I never intended to compete with them.

"You've already been selected for next year's spot, so the leadership won't mention your name this year. Don't feel pressured; not mentioning your name doesn't mean you're not good enough."

Yuan Xiu: "...I know, Director."

"You did a good job of backing up the medicine. From now on, the pharmacy will follow this rule. If there are any problems in the future, we will have evidence to refer to."

Yuan Xiu continued to nod.

When she returned to the pharmacy, Hao Jia hurriedly asked, "What did our director say to you?"

Yuan Xiu said what she could say, but didn't mention the pre-determined quota.

"Didn't he mention Wang Xiaomei and the others? They've already made a scene at our pharmacy, and he didn't even mention it to his superiors so they could be disciplined!"

Yuan Xiu said, "Disciplinary action isn't given casually; it's recorded in your file for life. To be honest, what they did wasn't a big problem. A little internal criticism and education from the nursing department would be enough. Director Hao may seem cold, but he's kind-hearted and won't hold a grudge."

"Are you talking about my uncle... our director?"

When has her uncle ever been kind-hearted?

Yuan Xiu joked, "Does our Traditional Chinese Medicine department have another director?"

Hao Jia shook her head, stroking her chin, and said, "I understand. I didn't see the warm side of him. I guess he's just disappointed in me and can't feel warm inside."

"Then do you want to...?"

Before Yuan Xiu could finish speaking, Hao Jia raised her hand to stop her, showing her her watch. "It's almost time to leave work, hurry up and pack your things!"

Yuan Xiu: "..."

On their way home from get off work, Yuan Xiu and Jiang Zhou chatted about the lively day.

"I'm amazing, aren't I? I've reserved all the recommendation slots for our Traditional Chinese Medicine department next year."

Jiang Zhou smiled and praised her, "Amazing! Looks like our family is about to produce a college student!"

Yuan Xiu felt a little proud. "Our family already has college graduates. Didn't you get recommended to military academy back then? You're pretty impressive too."

"Not as good as you. I wasn't pre-booked by the boss..."

The couple boasted to each other for a while, riding their bicycle and laughing as they went. Passersby saw them and couldn't help but tease their companions, "Look at this young couple, they have such a good relationship, they're always laughing even when they get home, they have so much to talk about."

"Young people are all like that. We were like that when we were young too."

"I wasn't like this when I was young. I wouldn't see a man even once a year. And when I finally came back, that bastard had nothing to say to me."

The person next to me joked, "If you can't talk about this, then talk about something else. You've finally come back, and it's only for a few days. How can you have time to chat? You have to do something else, right?"

"Go away, you're getting more and more absurd..."

……

Since the incident at the pharmacy, Yuan Xiu hadn't seen Wang Xiaomei for quite some time, and she had also seen fewer of the people who had come with her to cause trouble. In Hao Jia's words, they were avoiding the people from their traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy.

Because whenever two groups of people are in the same space, there will inevitably be people whispering behind their backs. Those whispers don't affect Yuan Xiu and Hao Jia, but they do have a significant impact on Wang Xiaomei and the others.

Nurse Lin, who came with the head nurse earlier, became a regular at the traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy.

She is now in charge of the VIP ward, where many patients take traditional Chinese medicine. The first thing she does every day after starting work is to go to the traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy to pick up the medicine.

Unlike the previous nurse, she would check the medicine and dosage with Hao Jia and Yuan Xiu every time she picked up the medicine. If the patient had special reasons, she would also communicate with the pharmacy in advance.

"The patient in ward number five couldn't drink his medicine. I asked Dr. Sun, and he said that the medicine could be decocted to be more concentrated so that he could drink less without reducing its effectiveness."

Upon hearing this, Hao Jia added less water when decocting the medicine, making the decoction for ward number five more concentrated.

"Yuan Xiu, do you still have any cough syrup? There are some coughing patients in ward number three. If the restock arrives, could you please save me a bottle?"

Yuan Xiu opened the drawer and took out a bottle of cough syrup: "It just arrived this morning. Please register it and sign it."

After signing the papers, Nurse Lin thanked them with a smile, "By the way, please wait for me a moment."

Nurse Lin returned shortly after leaving, quietly placing the bag she was carrying on the counter and whispering to Yuan Xiu, "These are fruits and snacks sent by the patient's family. You two can share them."

Yuan Xiu: "Isn't this inappropriate?"

Nurse Lin laughed and said, "What's the big deal? The VIP ward is for leaders. No one comes to visit empty-handed. There are so many fruits and snacks in the ward that we can't possibly finish them all. These were given to me by the leaders. You all put in a lot of effort, so I can't just eat them all by myself. Take them. Even if Director Hao finds out, he won't say anything. It's all an open secret."

Yuan Xiu and Hao Jia exchanged a glance. Hao Jia nodded and put a bag of fruit and snacks from the table into the drawer.

After Nurse Lin left, Hao Jia said to Yuan Xiu, "This is indeed an unspoken understanding. Otherwise, why do you think the nurses all want to go to the VIP wards? They can get some good food and drinks there. If they get along well, maybe one day a word from the leader can do them a big favor."

Yuan Xiu: "This Nurse Lin is quite good at dealing with people."

In the six months she worked at the pharmacy, only this Nurse Lin benefited and still wanted to get a share of the profits.
