Chapter 181: Public Appraisal

The issue of university student recommendation quotas had been the talk of the hospital for over a month. It wasn't until mid-June, when the weather turned warm and students started their summer vacation, that the official notification was finally issued.

The hospital nominates candidates based on their personal wishes, family background, political performance, and other factors.

Then, the hospital staff will conduct a "public review," which is essentially a vote. If you think this person is suitable, you can vote for them; if you don't think they are suitable, you can vote against them.

After that, the quota can only be finalized after going through several procedures, including approval from hospital leaders and review by the school.

On the day of the public review, Yuan Xiu and Hao Jia sat in the audience, both of them there to serve as background figures.

Because on the blackboard, under the list of nurses recommended for positions, neither of their names were listed.

Hao Jia patted Yuan Xiu's hand reassuringly, "It's not that you're not good enough, it's that you're pregnant. The leaders must have taken that into account, which is why they didn't submit your name."

Yuan Xiu smiled and comforted her, "I know, it's not that you're not good enough, it's just that you don't want to take up a spot in everyone's vote."

Someone nearby scoffed, "Such nice words, but he's still not qualified."

Hao Jia turned and glared at her. "You're qualified, so why isn't your name on the list? Oh, look at what I'm saying. Everyone in the hospital knows that your professional skills are lacking. Who would dare give you such an opportunity? The university student recommendation quota is meant to cultivate technical backbones for our hospital. If we send you to university, instead of cultivating technical backbones, we'll cultivate a troublemaker!"

Hao Jia's voice wasn't quiet, and as soon as she said it, the people around her covered their mouths and chuckled.

Wang Xiaomei stomped her feet twice in anger.

Hao Jia: "If you're going to cook, practice more. What's the use of just throwing tantrums?"

When the meeting was scheduled to begin, the hospital director started speaking:

"Comrades, the reason for this meeting today is to conduct a public review of the nomination quotas for college graduates for our hospital. Military hospitals value political integrity, solid work style, and the ability to do practical things for the wounded and sick! There are only a few quotas, and who gets them is not decided by the leaders, but by everyone's eyes and their usual performance! For those nominated, let's go through them one by one by department. Everyone, please share your thoughts first. Be realistic and avoid empty talk and clichés."

The first to speak were the nominated doctors from the Western Medicine Department, followed by the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department. Only one person from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department participated in this college student recommendation, so it was just a formality. The Nursing Department and the Pharmacy Department were ranked third, and the Logistics Department was last.

After the doctors from the Western medicine department finished speaking, Yuan Xiu and Hao Jia cast their votes based on their usual interactions. Needless to say, they also had to vote for the doctors from the traditional Chinese medicine department.

As for the nursing department, both Yuan Xiu and Hao Jia voted for Nurse Lin.

After the public evaluation ended, the vote counting began. Nurse Lin from the nursing department and another pharmacist from the Western medicine pharmacy received the most votes and were awarded two nomination slots from the nursing department.

The only spot in the Logistics Department went to Comrade Xiaolin from the Publicity Department. The spots in the Logistics Department can be adjusted according to majors. People like Comrade Xiaolin will be recommended to other universities that are not medical schools.

Comrade Xiao Lin was sitting diagonally in front of him, and he was grinning happily.

Yuan Xiu whispered her congratulations.

Comrade Xiaolin: "Hehe, it's too early to congratulate you now, we still have to wait for the school's approval!"

He knew what was good for him; the "Heroic Act" banner played a significant role in his ability to stand out in the logistics department this time.

"Everyone who gets into our hospital has impeccable family background; you'll definitely be fine."

Comrade Xiao Lin puffed out her chest. "Comrade Yuan Xiu, you'll definitely have your chance in the future. I believe in you!"

Yuan Xiu smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words."

In the conference room, some were happy while others were sad. Those who got a spot were naturally delighted. Some were humble on the surface but overjoyed inside, while others couldn't control their expressions and were so happy that they danced around.

The leader tapped on the table, and the meeting room fell silent instantly.

"The public evaluation phase is over. The Political Department will review everyone's materials again and send them to the school after the review. Then we just wait for the school's feedback. During this period, no matter what the result is, I hope everyone will focus on their work. If you get the opportunity, study hard. If you don't get the opportunity, keep working hard. As long as you work hard, you will have the opportunity in the future."

After thunderous applause, the meeting officially ended!

Yuan Xiu and Hao Jia left hand in hand, chatting as they walked. Before returning to the pharmacy, they went to the restroom.

After coming out of the restroom, I ran into Wang Xiaomei and Nurse Lin at the corner.

Hao Jia pulled her and quickly hid behind the wall.

"I know you were the one who snitched on us last time! You deliberately called the head nurse over!" Wang Xiaomei cornered Nurse Lin against the wall.

Nurse Lin: "How can this be called snitching? You led our nursing staff to cause trouble for the pharmacy, causing them to leave their posts and affecting the overall work efficiency of our nursing department. As a member of the nursing department, I should naturally report this to the head nurse."

"You did this on purpose! When we asked you if you wanted to go to university, what did you say? You said you hadn't considered it and had no interest in it. Who knew you were playing dumb, deliberately making us think you weren't interested in the spot? Now look what you've done! You're the one going to the VIP ward, and you have the university spot too! I never expected you to be this kind of person!"

Nurse Lin said helplessly, "Comrade Wang Xiaomei, I really don't know what you're talking about. I didn't really want to go to university before, because I knew that university recommendation slots weren't something I could just ask for. To get a slot, you had to work hard and diligently."

"For half the month, I volunteered to work the night shift, eagerly taking care of the most seriously ill patients. To care for them, I could go two days and two nights without sleep. In terms of professional skills, I have never made a mistake in dispensing medication or administering injections. My hands are covered with needle marks from pricking myself. I got this opportunity because my colleagues at the hospital can see all the effort I've put in!"

Wang Xiaomei's expression changed. "What do you mean you can see? It's all because you know how to flatter people. I saw you giving things to the pharmacy staff. No wonder they voted for you."

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Our nursing department and the pharmacy are closely connected, and we can't do without the pharmacy's support in every aspect. I remember when I first joined the hospital, the head nurse said something like this: Nurses are the users and testers of the pharmacy's medicines, and the pharmacy is the supporter and guarantor of the nurses' work. We are close comrades-in-arms. Only by getting along well with my comrades-in-arms can I better serve the patients. I don't know how you think I'm currying favor with them."
