Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 153 - 118: Eliminating Hidden Dangers, Sunshine Clinic’s Path to Growth

Li Jingsheng wasn't really afraid of her, just that he preferred harmony when possible.

This woman, though fierce, was just fierce. She wasn't scheming enough to even be worthy of carrying Boss Zhao's shoes.

No one had ever come to Li Jingsheng's clinic to cause trouble before.

Now that her husband was finally discharged, she probably wouldn't look at Li Jingsheng with such hatred the next time she saw him on the street.

"Boss, I've visited other big pharmacies in the city after work recently. We can't compare with them in terms of decoration, business area, or scale, but there are still some areas where we can improve our level."

After getting his 200 yuan salary, Xiaogao started to discuss serious matters.

Tang Ping came out after changing clothes, originally planning to leave work, but hearing Xiaogao's suggestions to the boss, she decided not to rush off.

She might have bought a new outfit after receiving her overdue wages a couple of days earlier.

A black shirt, rolled-up three-quarter jeans, and white high-heeled sandals adorned with rhinestones.

Tsk tsk, her outfit was truly captivating to the point of being irresistible. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Her skin was already fair, and the black shirt made her skin appear almost snow-white, with a slightly fleshy neck sporting a delicate platinum necklace adorned with a crescent pendant studded with tiny diamonds.

Just her upper half achieved a beauty to the utmost.

Li Jingsheng didn't dare to look too much, mainly because his self-restraint wasn't strong, fearing he might embarrass himself in front of the staff.

Xiaogao, seeing her approach, gave her an amazed look but quickly looked away.

Those with girlfriends really have stronger willpower.

"Dr. Gao, please continue! If Sister Tang has any good suggestions, feel free to bring them up. Let's work together to make our small clinic more competitive."

Li Jingsheng managed this spontaneous discussion.

He didn't like the formality of morning meetings and after-work summaries. These casual, spontaneous discussions were more suitable for Sunshine Clinic now.

Suggestions could be made at any time; everyone was a protagonist.

"When selling medicine, we always issue receipts for regular medicines, but for health supplements and tonics, we rarely print receipts or invoices. I feel this is not good."

This practice is actually at risk of being illegal.

But everyone was doing it, similar to celebrities and influencers evading taxes.

Each thinking they could get away with it, saving some tax where possible.

In the past, Li Jingsheng's clinic struggled even to make ends meet, and seeing everyone else doing this, he naturally followed suit.

Now that business at the clinic was picking up, everything had to be more standardized.

If it goes unnoticed, it's fine, but if discovered, the consequences could be dire.

Of course, small clinics like his, barely surviving, rarely attract attention from commerce and tax authorities.

If discovered, it's more common to be asked to pay back taxes, with heavy fines being rare.

Since the cost of breaking the rules is low, small business owners save where they can. If customers don't ask for invoices, they usually don't get one.

"Dr. Gao, this suggestion is excellent. From now on, our clinic must operate formally, without crossing legal boundaries. Every medicine sale must have a receipt and invoice. Tomorrow, I will have new receipt and invoice printers installed for easier invoice printing."

Li Jingsheng noted this seriously in his notebook.

"Also, when customers buy health supplements, even if it's a big brand, they're placed in an ordinary plastic bag. Personally, it's quite a downgrade. Even a Buddha needs gold adornment to appear majestic and sacred! Should we consider ordering some classy gift bags? A gift bag would cost at most one yuan but could significantly enhance our image, making customers feel they got their money's worth."

This was another issue.

Xiaogao had only been working for less than ten days, yet could offer so many insightful suggestions, showing he was genuinely putting his heart into it.

"Coincidentally, we need to restock tomorrow. I'll first check with Best Medicine if they can provide gift bags. If they don't, I'll look for a packaging factory to custom-order them."

Li Jingsheng aimed to save where possible.

Problems needed solving, but any opportunity to utilize existing resources effectively should be taken.

"If the pharmaceutical company agrees to provide gift bags, I suggest adding our clinic's name. The font should be larger, noticeable, and ideally on both sides."

Hearing this, Xiaogao proposed a new suggestion.

"Dr. Gao, your consideration is thorough. I will discuss this carefully with Qiu Shaofeng tomorrow."

Li Jingsheng noted all these suggestions in his notebook.

"Moreover, elderly folks like to take advantage of small perks. Our clinic's foot traffic has been declining lately. I think we could buy some boxes of eggs, grains, oil, etc. We could have an event giving out free eggs or offer rice, oil, laundry detergent with purchases above a certain amount. I'm confident this could increase foot traffic at the clinic. If the boss agrees to this event, I'll go home today and draft a detailed plan for your review."

As Xiaogao mentioned this last suggestion, Li Jingsheng was already looking at him with an extremely impressed and appreciative gaze.

Tang Ping looked equally astonished, as if meeting Xiaogao for the first time.

"Dr. Gao, I really didn't see it coming! Your talent in sales is extraordinary. If I hadn't seen your diploma, I would've thought you majored in sales. I agree with this idea of giving out free eggs and gift campaigns. Prepare the plan, and we'll finalize things together. If it's feasible, I will allocate funds specifically to support you in this endeavor."
