Chapter 1485: Chapter 1485: Comrade Old Qiao Gives Advice

Liu Banxia returned home quickly because the proportion of operations done by Li Hao and Huang Bo was higher, which consumed more time.

"Hey, Dad, why didn’t you give us a heads-up that you’d be coming back?"

As he returned home, he saw that Comrade Old Qiao was playing with the two little babies, and Liu Banxia quickly greeted him.

"What’s there to say? I heard from Qiaoqiao that you had another surgery to attend to," Qiao Xuezhi said with a smile.

"These little ones, although I see them every day in videos, watching them like this is more interesting. Haha, don’t pull grandpa’s beard; it was hard to grow it out."

The one pulling his beard was the second baby; nobody at home has a beard. Now she saw a new toy and was playing merrily.

"Alright, let’s get ready to eat. We’re having stewed ribs tonight," Qiaoqiao said.

"Our dad likes whatever is good, make sure you prepare more," Liu Banxia whispered with a chuckle.

"Oh, he eats great food every day anyway. Watching the two little ones now, he wouldn’t mind gnawing on salted radish," Qiaoqiao replied indifferently.

"Since arriving today, he’s been playing with the two little ones non-stop. I even thought of inviting Uncle Qiu over, but he wouldn’t let him, insisting on having a good playtime with them."

"Haha, that’s good. Let them play till they’re tired, and they might sleep better tonight," Liu Banxia nodded with a smile.

The two little ones have grown, so they don’t sleep as much as before. Every night, bedtime becomes a big issue, especially since they’re as hyperactive as ever.

They are full of energy; no matter how tired they play today, they wake up the next day fully recharged. With a bit of complementary food and a bottle of milk, they’re like little warriors.

Their target for battle is the Tang Dou family at home.

To them, no matter how old Tang Dou’s kids get, they’re big toys.

It’s not yet time for them to become annoying at seven or eight years old, but sometimes this group of kids drives the dogs to flee far away.

Sitting at the dining table, although the little ones don’t eat, they still join in the fun.

However, there’s an upside: you can place them at the table side where they can watch the fun, and you can eat in peace.

"How’s work recently?" Qiao Xuezhi asked.

"It’s going okay, just now starting to feel the difficulty of management," Liu Banxia replied.

"Previously, we were just setting up an emergency center, although it was chaotic, things could be managed. But it’s different now; the framework is built, and it’s stable with more people."

Qiao Xuezhi nodded, "That’s normal; more people means more concerns. Especially since you now have monthly business trips, time becomes even tighter."

"In this area, you do need to improve. You can’t assume your energy is unlimited; you need to learn to prioritize and focus."

"Indeed... I’ve been working hard to learn about these things. But since I’ve never been a leader before, could you give some advice?" Liu Banxia asked.

Qiao Xuezhi smiled, his expression genuinely happy.

"Actually, the resources you have over there are quite plentiful; you need to learn to utilize them well." After sipping some wine, Qiao Xuezhi said.

"I often hear you talk about things over there; I have some understanding and will offer a few thoughts. If useful, listen; if not, consider them casual talk."

"I must listen to whatever you say, that’s valuable advice," Liu Banxia quickly added.

Qiaoqiao shot him a helpless glance, feeling his flattery might lead Old Qiao to drink too much today.

"It’s not as severe as you say; it’s just about learning from mistakes," Qiao Xuezhi waved his hand, his face looking content.

"In any company, there will be some so-called office culture. Even if things seem harmonious, internally, everyone has their thoughts."

"As the old saying goes, starting is hard; maintaining is harder. When starting, everyone’s thoughts align and efforts unite. But when maintaining? It involves interest distribution."

"Regardless of how much the interests are, you can’t achieve fair distribution. Especially when resources are limited, there will surely be some differences."

"If you solely focus on correcting these differences, trying to compensate, that’s wrong. Because no matter how you compensate, you’ll never fully resolve it."

As he listened, Liu Banxia frowned.

This issue seemed something he hadn’t considered before; today he might genuinely hear some valuable thoughts.

"Because at different times and environments, people’s needs vary," Qiao Xuezhi continued.

"Once this opportunity is missed, it’s gone. Compensating focuses on the ’compensate’ aspect, so instead of spending time on this, think differently."

"What is it? It’s what you can bring to them, letting everyone see hope in their work, so everyone can unite again."

"This is also why many companies need continuous growth. Without growth, they not only fail to earn more profits but also can’t satisfy their people’s needs."

"But for your hospital, it’s different from other companies; financially, if you want to avoid trouble, you can only rely on salaries and bonuses."

"You’re in a technical field, and those six students under you are so dedicated because they know what they need and what they can get from you."

"You’ve done well in deploying to support those two hospitals. I heard from Qiaoqiao, except for some special surgeries, it seems you’ve divided the workload."

"Regardless of whether everyone is busy or willing to go, you’ve thought of them instead of just considering yourself and those six. Everyone can see that."

"Some people like Cao Cao from the Three Kingdoms; I like Liu Bei, even if his kingdom is said to have been cried into existence. It’s just a story, but both have lessons we can learn from."

"This is just my opinion on management within the hospital, but I must remind you: as a leader, you must not only focus on your own matters but also improve your ’performance.’"

"Performance is not about how much money you make, but how many people come for treatment and genuinely give you a five-star review."

"Technology is too advanced nowadays, yet it’s a constraint for some elders. Especially in large hospitals, all those code scans, applets, and online payment operations are simple yet complex."

"For young people, these are easy; they complete everything before even arriving at the hospital. But for seniors not accustomed to using smartphones? Each step is a hurdle."

"You can’t say that hospitals don’t have volunteers or guidance desks; when it’s crowded, can they manage to help everyone? As a well-known hospital, your daily patient count must be over capacity, right?"

Liu Banxia nodded with a wry smile, "That’s true. Our emergency center’s patient count has greatly exceeded previous estimates."

"Absolutely, but I believe it’s not the peak yet; it’ll keep increasing, maybe to the point where registering is impossible, with the gates full of scalpers," Qiao Xuezhi said.

"This isn’t solely about strict management; higher policies, there are always tactics. They’ll come up with various excuses in time."

"With more patients, another issue arises: long queues for tests, appointments days away."

"I’ve heard complaints mainly about long queuing, long waiting, and brief consultations, comparable to the bank."

"You can laugh; as a notable weak group, often, I avoid going to the bank myself. Some banks have VIP services; others let them cut in line at regular windows, making me uncomfortable."

"With so many people watching, can you do business boldly there? It’s unbearable. Your side managed this well, unlike some hospitals that are less strict."

"Haha, in this regard, it’s very strict," Qiaoqiao said cheerfully.

"Last time, the Chief Director’s friend came for a surgery, his daughter thought having some money entitled her to make demands, but they didn’t pamper her in the slightest."

"Rules are truly important. As long as they are kept and adhered to, with adjustments based on company development, even if the business doesn’t become prominent, it can succeed," Qiao Xuezhi said.

"I can only say so much, as I’m not very familiar with the medical industry. If you ever have an idea, we could start our own hospital."

"That wouldn’t work; it’d only increase worries, and currently I can barely handle things," Liu Banxia said with a wry smile.

Indeed, the father-daughter duo both had such thoughts before. From the looks of it, the father-in-law seems quite keen on this idea.

He won’t seek trouble intentionally; this is definitely not the task to undertake.

But what the father-in-law mentioned today is indeed valuable advice.

If he could give everyone hope, they’d have motivation, which is much clearer than focusing on compensatory distribution.
