Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital-Chapter 450 - 377: How Should a Leader Lead?

Zhao Heng saw Ruan Liuzheng already sitting and waiting in the deputy director’s office when he returned from Xu Wenqiang’s office.

But this wasn’t surprising; Ruan Liuzheng was now being mentored by Zhao Heng, so naturally, Zhao Heng was responsible for assigning tasks to her.

"Dr. Ruan, go to the operating room to follow up on the progress, coordinate, and see when surgery can be scheduled there so we can prepare on this side."

Zhao Heng arranged the task as soon as he saw Ruan Liuzheng.

"Alright, Director."

Upon hearing Zhao Heng’s instructions, Ruan Liuzheng immediately stood up and responded happily.

Earlier during a consultation in the obstetrics department, she noticed how the various department directors of Eastern Hospital regarded Zhao Heng. All the directors are leaders in their respective fields, yet they interact with Zhao Heng on equal terms, indicating he has earned their recognition.

Especially Huang Jincheng, the director of Cardiothoracic Surgery, who holds Zhao Heng in high esteem.

Clearly, being mentored by Zhao Heng, who currently has only one student, is better than following other department directors, who each oversee five or even seven or eight students at once. With so many students, no matter how skilled the director is, they simply don’t have enough time and energy to teach each one thoroughly, so what can be learned depends entirely on one’s own perception.

But under Zhao Heng’s mentorship, for now, it’s just Ruan Liuzheng, which presents a significant teaching advantage.

Seeing Ruan Liuzheng cheerfully go to perform the task he assigned, Zhao Heng also smiled slightly. Having a student who is thoughtful and easy to get along with is probably what every teacher hopes for.

Sitting in his office chair, Zhao Heng pondered Xu Wenqiang’s earlier words.

Hope? Benefits?

Hope is too fleeting, and painting big pictures too often isn’t good either, so this option is ruled out.

That leaves benefits.

Regarding benefits, Zhao Heng has already been very objective in terms of performance and bonuses; there doesn’t seem to be much to improve in that aspect.

As for work, the hospital’s workload is inherently high, which is unavoidable.

Perhaps inviting everyone for a meal to network and get to know each other might be a good idea?

That could actually be a good solution.

When it comes to money, Zhao Heng isn’t lacking.

Just yesterday, the first batch of pre-paid dividends from the anesthesia assistant came in, and it was a full million.

This was because Wang Yaoqing considered that Zhao Heng just bought a house and needed money, issuing the advance payment to him; otherwise, it wouldn’t be this quick.

Actually, Zhao Heng wouldn’t need to pay out of pocket; a departmental colleague gathering can be reimbursed. For him as a deputy director, reimbursing a meal cost is quite simple.

Moreover, if he were to accept invitations from medical sales reps, it would be even easier; they’d be practically endless.

But who should he ask about this?

At that moment, Liu Meng entered the office and saw Zhao Heng apparently in deep thought, opting not to disturb him.

"Dr. Liu, anything going on?"

Zhao Heng saw Liu Meng standing nearby and couldn’t help but ask.

"Director, here’s the thing, a few of us have discussed, including the trainees and resident doctors, and they suggested meeting up tonight; do you want to join?"

Liu Meng said.

As she spoke, she watched Zhao Heng’s expression. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Gatherings are something some people enjoy, while others prefer solitude. It’s quite personal.

"A gathering?"

Zhao Heng didn’t expect someone had already thought about it before he mentioned it.

But this wasn’t surprising; since the establishment of the ward, colleagues hadn’t properly gathered yet.

In a high-intensity workplace like a hospital that requires seamless collaboration, unwinding, and networking are even more essential after hours.

After a tense workday, relaxation is what’s needed most.

"Yes, Director, what do you think?"

Liu Meng asked.

"You make the arrangements, call everyone who can be called, and put it on my tab."

Zhao Heng thought it over and said. Although expenses could be covered by the department budget, as a young deputy director, he felt using public funds for entertainment was slightly inappropriate, and he indeed could afford to host a meal.

Excluding those on duty, the entire ward would have at most twenty or so people. At a rate of 150 per person, it amounts to two to three thousand, which now is insignificant for Zhao Heng.

A rate of 150 per person is what Zhao Heng found reasonable; going higher is possible, but unnecessary, while below 150 wouldn’t allow for a decent meal.

"Set a standard around 150 per person,"

After a pause, Zhao Heng added.

Even for two people dining out, at 150 per head, that equals 300, which already allows for a decent meal.

What’s more, the larger the group, the cheaper it generally is.

"We were discussing a split bill,"

Liu Meng said surprised, not anticipating Zhao Heng would want to attend, let alone pay for everyone’s meal.

Typically, when hosting, it’s usually subordinates inviting a superior.

"No need to split the bill; your incomes are okay, but the trainees, resident doctors, and interns don’t have much money,"

Zhao Heng waved and said.

"Director, why don’t we book a place that offers dining and karaoke? That way we won’t need to go elsewhere to sing after the meal,"

Liu Meng suggested.

Aside from their primary work, doctors should most learn how to relax; otherwise, they’d end up stressed and exhausted sooner or later.
