The Medical Guru

Chapter 1523 Talented People in Chinese Medicine in Great Demand

The University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine…

The teacher’s office building…

In the office of the Vice President…

“Knock, knock, knock…”

There was a string of hasty knocks at the door.

“Please come in.”

Chen Yinsheng’s voice came from the office.

“Vice President Chen.”

Qi Kaiwen, the Director of the Department of Chinese Medicine, came in excitedly. He rushed to Chen Yinsheng’s desk and asked, “What the hell is going on? Why are there suddenly so many famous catering companies here?”

“It’s all because of Fang Qiu.”

Chen Yinsheng said with a smile.

“Fang Qiu?”

Qi Kaiwen was startled.

“Who else could it be?”

Chen Yinsheng said with a smile, “Last time when he went back to school, I had a brief chat with him. He told me his next plan of developing Chinese Medicine. He wanted to fully integrate Chinese Medicine into the public’s daily life by developing the medicated diet.”

“Is it the medicated diet restaurant of the Renyi Group?”

Qi Kaiwen raised his eyebrows and asked instantly.

“That’s true.”

Chen Yinsheng laughed and said, “It seems you don’t pay enough attention to the medicated diet. Fang Qiu is the Chinese Medicine consultant of the medicated diet restaurant. You don’t even know that, do you?”

“That’s a luxury restaurant. I can’t afford it even if I pay attention to it. Then why should I bother to care about it?”

Qi Kaiwen shook his head with a smile.

“But it’s also related to the development of Chinese Medicine.”

Chen Yinsheng shook his head and said, “Precisely because of the medicated diet launched by Fang Qiu, the entire market of Chinese medicinal herbs has become extremely prosperous now. So, this matter is not just about business. This catering business seems to have nothing to do with Chinese medicinal herbs. But after his plan succeeded, it is of great help to Chinese medicinal herbs and Chinese Medicine.”

“We should learn and support anything helpful to the development of Chinese Medicine!”

When Qi Kaiwen heard that…

He nodded in agreement.

He was very willing to accept this idea of Chen Yinsheng.

After all, as a Chinese Medicine practitioner, he also hoped that Chinese Medicine could develop better.

“But it is just a medicated diet restaurant. How could it activate so many big restaurants to recruit people here?”

Although Qi Kaiwen agreed with this idea, he couldn’t help shaking his head. Thinking of the reality, he said, “I don’t think it’s possible.”

“But the fact is right before you, isn’t it?”

Chen Yinsheng smiled and asked, “By the way, how is the recruitment process of those catering companies? Is the success rate of recruitment higher than in previous years?”

“The reality is even better.”

Qi Kaiwen shook his head with a smile, saying, “The scene is crazy in my eyes. They take every student coming to them. More than that, these companies even compete with each other for our students. As soon as an outstanding student arrives, several companies will come to get the student. Do you know what favorable terms they offer? Even I want to change my job to work for them!”

“Are they so eagerly welcomed?”

Chen Yinsheng was also shocked when he heard that.

He didn’t expect that at all.

How could the round of recruitment activities be so crazy?

In particular…

In the past two years, graduates of the Department of Chinese Medicine were still the least wanted among students from all subjects. As a result, many people chose to stay at school to get a master’s or a doctor’s degree.

It was not because they wanted to go to graduate school. They had no other choices!

They would have nothing to do even after graduation if they couldn’t find a job. Besides, they didn’t want to waste their medical skills. Therefore, they could only choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination and continue to improve their skills. At that time, they hoped they could be competent enough to be accepted by a company and get a job.

Of course, many of them completely lost hope. After graduation, they took a job in other fields and started afresh.

This was a great loss for Chinese Medicine.

After the college entrance examination, fewer and fewer students were willing to choose Chinese Medicine universities when filling out college applications. Thus, the number of Chinese Medicine students gradually decreased every year.

In the past two years, Fang Qiu’s appearance significantly improved the number of students choosing such universities.

The University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine became one of their favored universities.

However…

More students chose these universities, but since the number of students increased yearly, these graduates from Chinese Medicine universities could hardly get a good job upon graduation. That was still a severe problem.

The university’s hospitals could only accept part of the graduates every year. After all, these organizations couldn’t accept all the graduates.

This became a great obstacle to the development of Chinese Medicine schools.

But now…

This situation was going to be changed.

Chen Yinsheng was shocked because he had never imagined this scene: companies competed with each other for Chinese Medicine graduates.

Undoubtedly, this was a great encouragement for students in Chinese Medicine. For all the students studying Chinese Medicine, they saw tremendous hope. These schools cultivating Chinese Medicine students finally saw a broad road. Everyone could see the bright future of the Chinese Medicine industry!

“I came to you for this matter. Some junior and senior students also have witnessed the hot recruitment activities and good offers provided by these companies. Many want to leave for some time for internships.”

With a deep frown, Qi Kaiwen said, “It’s a good thing for students to leave school for the internship, but as far as I know, these catering groups only have two jobs for these students. One is to match fresh medicinal herbs with different kinds of food; the other is to feel the pulse and recommend dishes.”

“Such jobs are very easy for the juniors and senior students, but their studies have not been completed yet. I am afraid that they will become obsessed with easy jobs and waste all their skills. In the future, they can only take the pulse and match Chinese medicinal herbs.”

“What do you think we should do about this?”

Qi Kaiwen asked with a frown.

“I’ve already talked to Fang Qiu about this when he came here to recruit people. I’ve already prepared a way to deal with it. I thought it was useless, but I didn’t expect it to come in handy.”

Chen Yinsheng, not nervous at all, smiled and said.

“What’s the solution?”

Qi Kaiwen asked hastily.

“It’s very simple.”

Chen Yinsheng said, “We can sign employment contracts with all the companies that come to recruit students. All the graduates and graduated postgraduate students can sign employment contracts with the companies freely at their own will. But if companies wanted to hire students who haven’t graduated, they must sign contracts with the school.”

“The contact content is as follows. All college students, whether in their junior or senior year, can intern at various companies during the semester. The internship should be within three months; only one internship is allowed in a year. As for the salary, the school will never interfere. During the internship, the companies can decide whether to sign a long-term contract with the students based on their performance.”

“It’s troublesome to do the process. But we have to do this for Chinese Medicine development. We mustn’t irresponsibly send incapable students to the industry beneficial to Chinese Medicine.”

When Qi Kaiwen heard that…

His eyes lit up.

“A good idea.”

Eyes on Chen Yinsheng, Qi Kaiwen said with a smile, “In this way, we can appease students full of curiosity and desire. Meanwhile, we won’t hinder the recruitment of major companies. We can also use this barrier to prevent people with poor medical skills from harming the entire industry.

“Most importantly, the graduates’ employment has been fully guaranteed.

“Moreover, those students have signed internship contracts. After their internships, they will study harder and graduate with better grades. They can get a higher salary and a better job in the future.

“We can achieve several things with one move!”

Chen Yinsheng smiled.

Back then…

When Fang Qiu came to hire postgraduate students, he proposed this solution. At that time, Fang Qiu was very confident because he believed these Chinese Medicine graduates would be in high demand one day.

Chen Yinsheng felt Fang Qiu could do it, but it never occurred to him that this day would come so fast.

When he thought carefully about it…

He couldn’t help exclaiming that Fang Qiu was far-sighted!

Soon…

Under the arrangement of Chen Yinsheng, the plan was carried out immediately.

Hearing the whole plan, the students were delighted, for they no longer had to choose between their internships and studies. The major catering companies would no longer bother about the students’ choices.

Everyone looked exceptionally thrilled and excited on the playground at the back of the school.

Of course…

Like what happened to the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine…

Other TCM colleges also made the same adjustments to the recruitment at schools.

Nearly half of the top 100 catering companies jumped out to make medicated diets, and most were ready to set up chain stores. Therefore, the demand for Chinese Medicine doctors was great.

Besides the top 100 companies…

These medium and small-sized catering companies were unwilling to fall behind.

When they all started recruiting together, the entire job fair became a sea of people.

Students…

They became the choice of these companies when they couldn’t hire enough powerful Chinese Medicine practitioners. Except for those Chinese Medicine students nearing graduation, those catering companies targeting middle or high-end markets cast their eyes on those Chinese Medicine doctors with strength and reputation.

The people of these large companies were very clear about it.

As long as they could find a powerful Chinese Medicine doctor, they could take the doctor as their most persuasive advertisement. They could gain a slight advantage in the competition with their components!

With this idea…

Many large catering companies rushed to the Chinese Medicine Hospitals and began vying for talented doctors.

This time…

Leaders of Chinese Medicine Hospitals all over the country instantly became nervous.

Under such circumstances, how could they stay calm?

Doctors working in hospitals had to take risks and work all day long. In addition, their wages were low.

They might as well choose to work for those catering companies. Jobs there would be much easier than those in hospitals, and they would be much better paid.

Lured by all of this…

Could those famous doctors stay insensible to these rewards? It was hard to imagine any of them would remain indifferent to the chance.

Helplessly…

Leaders of these Chinese Medicine Hospitals across the country could only hasten to talk with these famous doctors. While comforting them, they promised to improve their treatment.

It took them a lot of effort to appease these doctors.

In breathless anxiety, they quickly complained about this situation to higher authorities.

“The welfare treatment of our hospital is far from satisfactory. We will soon lose our talented workers if we don’t raise their wages. Now all the major catering groups are competing for qualified Chinese Medicine practitioners. To win over talented employees, those large groups might readily pay us the breach of contract damages for them.”

The same situation happened in more than one place.

Leaders of Chinese Medicine Hospitals nationwide were complaining to their superiors.

Since all of them were in the Chinese Medicine industry…

Their upper-level departments certainly knew that the medicated diet had become popular. Many catering groups were going to enter the medicated diet industry. But initially, they didn’t expect this industry to be so popular. These companies even went straight to poach staff from Chinese Medicine Hospitals.

But now…

Too many leaders of Chinese Medicine Hospitals were complaining about this matter.

Helplessly…

These superior departments could only hold a meeting to investigate the situation. In the meantime, they started thinking about how to keep their employees with talent!
