Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 132 - 111: Gaining a Good Recruit, the Humble Uncle Seeks Treatment

Chapter 132: Chapter 111: Gaining a Good Recruit, the Humble Uncle Seeks Treatment

"Your clinic can also conduct surgeries?"

The girl suppressed her inner delight.

"Complex surgeries are out of the question; minor procedures like suturing and cleaning won’t be a problem."

"Alright! Two thousand a month is admittedly a bit low, but learning practical skills with you is worth it. I’ll leave a phone number with you. Could you inform me when there’s news?"

The girl actually agreed.

To raise a graduate student, starting from nursery school at three years old, then on to primary school, middle school, high school, undergraduate, exam preparation, and finally graduate studies.

The cost in time and money is immeasurable.

After graduating, only two thousand yuan a month—how upset and disappointed would her parents be upon hearing?

Yet this is the stark reality of the workplace.

Li Jingsheng noted down her phone number and promised to notify her if anything came up.

When the girl left, she specially saved the clinic’s number on her phone.

Just then, Tang Ping returned with her daughter.

Watching the backs of the three young people leaving, she asked, "Were those three here for job applications at our clinic?"

"The girl was, while the other two boys already secured positions as trainees at the People’s Hospital."

Li Jingsheng answered while smiling at Tang Ping’s daughter.

"Niuniu, feel free to grab some fruit. There’s plenty in the freshness compartment in the fridge."

He wouldn’t dare buy her junk food again, otherwise Tang Ping would disapprove.

"Thank you, Uncle Li!"

Since treating Niuniu to a meal at KFC that evening, she noticeably warmed up to Li Jingsheng.

"Haha, no need for formality, go ahead!"

After speaking, Li Jingsheng walked to the clinic’s exterior and tore down the recruitment notice.

"Boss, have you filled the positions so quickly?" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"I only gathered contact numbers; nothing has been finalized yet."

"Could several people have come to apply during the short time I was gone?"

Tang Ping asked with some tension.

A high number of job seekers meant an increased likelihood of her being dropped.

"Xiaogao from Quick Recovery Clinic also wishes to work at our clinic. I’m considering giving him priority, but he needs to convince Boss Zhao. The girl earlier is a backup; if Xiaogao can’t persuade Boss Zhao, I’ll hire the girl."

Li Jingsheng explained.

"I didn’t expect Xiaogao would want to join our clinic."

Tang Ping was quite surprised.

...

At 6:20, Xiaogao called.

Pretty quick indeed.

"Boss Li, I just visited our boss at the hospital. His condition is a bit unstable, and I dared not mention the idea of moving. If you urgently need recruits, hire someone else. In future recruitments, could you please consider me first?"

Xiaogao willingly gave up this precious chance to move.

"No worries, I’ll wait a few days. Once Old Zhao’s condition stabilizes, approach him about changing jobs. If he disagrees, call and inform me."

Li Jingsheng valued Xiaogao even more.

"Really? That’s wonderful! Thanks for taking care of me! I’ll call you then."

"Alright, goodbye."

Li Jingsheng hung up the phone.

On the other side, Xiaogao must have felt both excited and grateful.

"You seem to admire Xiaogao a lot!" Tang Ping couldn’t help but comment while mopping.

"Xiaogao, like you, is trustworthy, and that’s the most important quality. He desires to work at our clinic; I aim to give him every opportunity. If he can’t persuade Boss Zhao, then I can’t assist him."

Li Jingsheng always conducted himself in this manner.

To lift someone up, if they themselves are unwilling to strive, it’s simply impossible to help.

He focused on doing his part well, leaving the rest up to Xiaogao’s efforts.

...

Time flew by; for two consecutive days, Li Jingsheng consistently attended bone-setting lessons at the Second Hospital.

Following the Urban Daily’s beneficial coverage, the clinic’s popularity gradually faded.

Though there was no decline in patients seeking consultations these past two days, the sales of health products started plummeting. The customer base for health products, limited in number, is rather fixed.

They can’t possibly spend tens, hundreds of yuan daily at his small clinic for health products.

These can’t serve as meals either.

Even for gifting, there’s only need-based giving.

Ultimately, it’s a matter of limited customers and inadequate recognition.

Moreover, both Li Jingsheng and Tang Ping had limited sales skills, tackling challenging customers was out of their depth.

An elegantly dressed man came in every day, just to sit for a while.

Tang Ping initially perceived him as a potential major client, but surprisingly, through several days, all he purchased was a 56 yuan bottle of kidney-strengthening pills.

What was he doing here every day?

Seeking Tang Ping for chats.

The topics initially seemed appropriate, then gradually veered into crude jokes.

Tang Ping, self-respecting and self-caring, couldn’t tolerate it.

Gradually, her attitude grew cold, but the man, ignoring her indifference, continued loitering around the counter, engaging in idle talk.

This was merely one tricky customer among several.

Numerous challenging elderly women and men came just to look around; if the sales pitch didn’t resonate with them, they simply wouldn’t buy.

In short, after the clinic’s popularity surged, certain downsides became apparent.

Both were clinical-oriented, clearly unfit for counter sales roles.
