Chapter 57
Gu Jianqiu and the others followed Long Charlie into the administrative building. After taking the elevator to the office of Lao Long Charlie, a young and beautiful female secretary came over with a sweet smile and cut two lattes for the two. Long Charlie solemnly apologized again, and then began to introduce the situation in the hospital.
After briefly introducing the hospital, he said to Gu Jianqiu and the others: "Because the Chinese medicine department of our hospital was proposed by our new chairman Lu, the board of directors decided to open a new department. The original outpatient complex building had no place to settle, so he could only free up a few rooms from the hospital's emergency center building and open it here temporarily. Wait for the next step to make adjustments. There were three Chinese medicine doctors in our Chinese medicine department. You have seen them last time when you came to recruit the exam. In addition to you two, there are five in total."
Speaking of this, Charlie Long smiled with shame: "I also said that I didn't like traditional Chinese medicine before. In fact, when I held a board meeting, I did not agree with the opening of traditional Chinese medicine department. But this time, Dr. Gu, you taught me a vivid lesson and let me know the charm of traditional Chinese medicine. So I firmly support traditional Chinese medicine now. I believe that joining the two of you will greatly strengthen the traditional Chinese medicine in our hospital and will become another signboard in our hospital."
The two of them quickly spoke a few more humble words.
Then, Charlie Long took Gu Jianqiu and Xia Xueting to the hospital's personnel office to go through the registration procedures, and then led them to visit the entire hospital, introduced some major departments, and led them to the Chinese medicine department to meet the three doctors. They were arranged in the same office.
Their Chinese Medicine Department is in the emergency center, and you can see people coming and going in the emergency center, crying and painful sounds coming from time to time. Doctors and nurses are in a hurry and very busy. In comparison, there are few people waiting for the waiting area of their Chinese Medicine Department. Perhaps it is because it has just been opened, many people don’t know, or perhaps it is because of the increasing marginalization of traditional Chinese medicine, which makes Gu Jianqiu feel a little cold.
Finally, Charlie Long asked Gu Jianqiu: "Where are you planning to live? It's best to live near the hospital, because you also have to work night shifts in the inpatient department. It's too far away. The hospital has no staff dormitories, but there are many rental apartment buildings outside, so you can find a suitable place to stay."
Gu Jianqiu originally thought that the hospital would have a dormitory building, but he couldn't imagine that it was true. However, it was understandable that those who worked as doctors and nurses in this hospital had high incomes, most of whom had their own homes, or could afford to rent an apartment building, so there was no need to build a dormitory building. He and Xia Xueting looked at each other, nodded and said, "Let's just find an apartment building outside to live in."
"That's great. You two go to work tomorrow morning, and settle down your accommodation today. I'll treat you to welcome you to the evening. I'll have an important meeting later, so I won't accompany you."
In such foreign aristocratic hospitals, there is probably no such thing as eating and drinking on public funds. Therefore, the so-called welcome, except for the formal etiquette reception of the hospital, is usually paid out of your own pocket.
Charlie Long shook hands with Gu Jianqiu and said goodbye, then hurriedly left. Gu Jianqiu and Xia Xueting came out and began to look for accommodation near the hospital. The hospital is located in the Gaoshang residential area, and most of the surrounding areas are high-end villa areas, with only a small number of apartment buildings for rent.
The two came to the property management center of an apartment building nearest to the hospital and asked about the house rental situation. The two were shocked. The rent for a small apartment with a two-bedroom and one-living room was 5,000 yuan per month. When they reported to the personnel office, they learned that their salary was only 4,500 yuan per month, and the bonus and other bonuses were distributed equally every month, which was no more than 6,000 yuan.
The two of them came out again and asked about renting several apartment buildings, but the prices were almost the same as or even higher. Moreover, there were very few houses to choose from, most of them had been rented out.
It was already noon, and the two of them wanted to find a small restaurant nearby for dinner. However, there were all Chinese and Western restaurants of good grades nearby. After walking a long way, they finally found a McDonald's fast food restaurant.
The two of them were a little depressed and discussed while eating bread and hamburgers.
Gu Jianqiu is no longer worried about money now. He is boxing with Wang Baoqiang every night and can get 30,000 yuan in a month. It is no problem to pay the rent. In addition, he can also participate in underground boxing competitions and get more bonuses.
However, most of this money will be spent on buying ginseng and cordyceps to improve the level of cultivation. Although he is strong enough now and ordinary people cannot threaten his safety, the fugitive Young Master Xue has always been a hidden danger in his heart. Perhaps one day, he will point the black gun at his head. If his cultivation level is not enough, it is still hard to say whether he can escape this disaster.
Gu Jianqiu was used to living in poverty, so he was reluctant to let him take out 5,000 yuan to rent a house. The house prices nearby were very high. If they wanted to live in a cheaper place outside the city, it would take more than two hours to take the bus on the way, and it was spent on the road. It was too inconvenient to come and go, so after all, I still gritted my teeth and lived in a nearby house.
In the fast food restaurant, Xia Xueting was sucking Coke while secretly looking at Gu Jianqiu.
Gu Jianqiu smiled: "If you have any ideas, just say, let's take the initiative together."
Xia Xueting blushed a little and chuckled: "What else can I do? Let's share the rent. It will be cheaper to bear it together."
"Share the rent?" Gu Jianqiu's heart was beating. He shared a house with a beautiful woman, lived together, and spent day and night together. It was really exciting to think about it. He smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's okay, I'm fine, I'm just afraid that others will talk about you behind your back."
"I thought of it too. I brought my mother to live with me, and it was convenient for me to take care of her. In addition, I have a best friend who works as a teacher in a noble school in this community. She was worried about not having a house to live in. She took the bus all day and was inconvenient for several hours on the road. After knowing that I was admitted to Kantman Hospital, I told me that I would share the rent with me. Then let's add three to my mother, and four of us rent a house. We have to choose a three-bedroom and one living room, and my mother and I live in one room, and you two are one."
"The cheapest price of three bedrooms and one living room is 6,000 yuan!"
"There is no way, we have three of us who are equal, and each of us is two thousand. It's acceptable to calculate this."
Gu Jianqiu thought for a while and said, "It's decided that you can choose a closer hospital."
Xia Xueting immediately took out her cell phone and called her best friend. When her best friend heard this, she immediately took the bus to meet them at a fast food restaurant.
Xia Xueting's best friend is He Meifen. She is pretty pretty, fair and a little fat. She wears clothes, black-framed glasses, and short hair. Her boyfriend comes with her. Her boyfriend is the physical education teacher at He Meifen and the others.
After meeting, Xia Xueting gave an introduction, and sat down politely, ordered something, and chatted while eating.
After lunch and being about to leave, He Meifen pulled Xia Xueting into the bathroom and said, "Hey, this Gu Jianqiu looks not as good as you said, thin and weak."
Xia Xueting gave him a blank look: "What did you say? He is not what you imagined. He is very capable!"
"Is that true? I can't tell, what kind of ability can he have?"
"You don't believe it if you say it. You won't say it anymore."
"I won't say it's going to get over it! By the way, how is my aunt's illness? I've been busy these days, and I only heard that she was hospitalized and I haven't visited her. Is she okay now?"
He Meifen is Xia Xueting's best friend. After being diagnosed with her mother's illness as advanced gastric cancer, the two have never had the chance to meet, so they didn't tell her. Now, Xia Xueting finally said: "My mother has advanced brain cancer, and the doctor said she can live at most two months."
