Chapter 254 Is This a Game of Pretend

The bus, filled with ten doctors, finally drove into Wangjia Village.

To their surprise, Wangjia Village was not a backward rural area. Instead, it resembled a burgeoning European town.

The roads within the village were high-standard highways, with dedicated elevated walkways for pedestrians along the sides. Solar-powered streetlights were everywhere.

Nestled among the mountains, villas dotted the landscape like raspberries growing in a thicket.

"Wow, what a beautiful village!"

"Yes, the scenery is lovely, and the air is so fresh. When I retire, I'll definitely buy a house here!"

"Come on, think about it. Such a small village, there simply aren't enough patients!"

"Ah, you're right..." The doctors on the bus began to chatter amongst themselves.

The bus wound its way through Wangjia Village and soon arrived at the hospital.

As the doctors alighted, they were once again filled with admiration at the sight before them.

"Ah, what a beautiful hospital!"

"Indeed, it looks less like a hospital and more like a sanatorium."

"Exactly, exactly. Working in a sanatorium for a few years would be fine. At least the salary here is very high. A few years of work, accumulating some experience, and I'll have enough for a down payment on a house..." Da Feng Novel Network

"I love it here so much. Living here is much more comfortable than living in the city!"

Ling Tian clapped his hands. "Everyone, the building behind the outpatient department, the entire floor is your dormitory.

The accommodation here is excellent. Each person's room is over 30 square meters, fully furnished with all facilities and furniture. You can even move in with just your bags.

I'll take you to your assigned rooms first, and then I'll host a welcome dinner for you!"

Just then, a voice called out.

"Um, Mr. Ling Tian, we're not in a hurry to get our rooms. Could we see the hospital first?"

The voice was very pleasant, like a singing lark.

Ling Tian looked up and saw that it was Che Yingying who had spoken.

The young girl was looking at him with expectant eyes.

What Ling Tian hadn't expected was that Che Yingying, this young lass, held considerable influence and ability among her classmates. Her suggestion was met with unanimous approval.

"Alright, then let's tour the hospital first."

Everyone got off the bus and, led by Ling Tian, entered the hospital's waiting hall.

The moment they stepped inside, they were startled by the crowd of people queuing.

"My goodness, so many patients..."

Ling Tian smiled and explained to everyone, "Our Wangjia Village New Life Hospital has the most advanced medical facilities. Our treatment equipment here is even more advanced than that of Jiangzhou Hospital.

Similarly, our consultation and treatment fees are only two-thirds of those at other hospitals in the city.

Therefore, many patients from surrounding villages and even the county town come here for treatment. You don't have to worry about a lack of patients at all; in fact, you'll be so busy you won't have a moment's rest..."

During the tour, patients kept greeting Ling Tian proactively, calling him "Little Miracle Doctor."

"Look, this is the consultation room and office for traditional Chinese medicine.

Currently, this is the nascent stage of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department at Wangjia Village New Life Hospital. You are all founders.

As long as you are outstanding, each of you will have your own independent consultation room."

"Wow, that's amazing! I heard from our graduated seniors that some of them had to wait five or six years before getting an independent consultation room...

This trip was definitely worth it..."

Next, Ling Tian led them to tour the hospital's other facilities.

Looking at the advanced treatment equipment, these people's mouths began to water.

Compared to the equipment in this hospital, the facilities at the medical school were like scrap metal that should be immediately discarded and melted down.

After touring the hospital, Ling Tian led them to the cafeteria for a sumptuous lunch. They were also very satisfied with the food.

The cafeteria had several specially hired chefs. Each meal offered over a dozen dishes and various staple foods for them to choose from. Most importantly, these were all free.

Li Dakang, the carefree fellow, ate over a dozen large meat buns in one sitting.

He even declared that just for the taste of the buns, he would stay here!

After lunch, they went to the dormitories, and the conditions there also captivated them.

Brand new rooms, brand new decor, and the rooms were equipped with televisions, computers, air conditioners, and other appliances.

Each room had an en-suite bathroom. Everyone had their own room, making the accommodation conditions truly exceptional.

Next was the most crucial part: signing contracts with the hospital.

Ling Tian had initially thought that it would be good if half of these ten people signed. After all, Wangjia Village was quite remote, and the surroundings were dull, unlike the city.

But he had no idea that the conditions displayed by Wangjia Village New Life Hospital had completely won over these doctors.

The conditions here were far superior to what they had imagined. Each person had different reasons for wanting to stay, but they all led to the same outcome.

The head of the personnel department interviewed each doctor individually, and then both parties signed employment agreements. This was akin to a contract of servitude; once signed, they had to work there for at least 10 years!

Of course, this was understandable, as it took significant effort and capital for a hospital to train a qualified attending physician.

After signing the contracts, each doctor changed into a brand new white coat, and they were all very happy.

Ling Tian led them into the hospital's luxurious multimedia conference room.

"Everyone, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ling Tian. I am a major shareholder of this hospital, and I am also the head of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department at Wangjia Village New Life Hospital!

From now on, whether our Traditional Chinese Medicine department thrives or struggles depends on all of you!"

Just then, Qu Yanan raised her hand and asked somewhat nervously, "Director Ling Tian, I'd like to ask, during the recruitment, it was mentioned that famous doctors would guide us.

However, we toured the hospital and didn't find any other TCM practitioners."

"Exactly, exactly!"

Everyone chimed in. Although the conditions here were excellent and the benefits were very high, these doctors knew that without guidance from renowned masters and sufficient clinical experience, their medical skills would stagnate.

If that happened, their medical skills would not advance, and they would still face unemployment after their contracts expired.

Ling Tian chuckled when he heard this. He pointed to himself.

"There are indeed renowned TCM experts, far away and yet right before your eyes!"

"Ah?"

Everyone was stunned. Some even regretted it, wondering if this contract was a trap.

Ling Tian was so young; what kind of medical skills could he possess? Could it be that he was a rich second-generation heir who hired them to play house with him?
