Chapter 771 - 358: The Heart Is Too Difficult, But There Is Warmth in the World (Part 3)

Chapter 771: Chapter 358: The Heart Is Too Difficult, But There Is Warmth in the World (Part 3)

The delivery courier coming in and out of the office and the consultation hall is equally inconvenient.

Recently, Li Jingsheng is even considering converting the house on Shangma Road into an overnight convenient medication purchase window.

This would make it easier for nearby residents to buy medicine at night, and the local delivery riders would find it much more convenient to pick up medication, right outside the clinic.

But this matter cannot be rushed for the time being.

He must wait until he successfully buys the clinic, and the property rights become his, before finding the opportunity to handle this.

Right now is a critical period for acquiring this place, and he dares not risk any unexpected issues.

The acquisition of this place is inherently sensitive, and if exposed, it might either fall through or be postponed.

Currently, he must remain composed and stabilize the situation.

"Master, I saw Master Xiang take only a few bites from his boxed lunch, and then he took it home."

Siying said.

"Xiang Cangsong has a wife who is currently bedridden and needs his care. He’s probably saving those meals to take home for his wife. You should all give Xiang Cangsong a bit more care in the future."

Li Jingsheng sighed slightly in his heart.

Giving Xiang Cangsong two boxed lunches isn’t out of the question. But some things just can’t be done.

The clinic has its regulations, and everyone is watching.

Li Jingsheng can only offer Xiang Cangsong care within his capabilities. It can’t turn into a charity.

Giving him the security job at the clinic is already the biggest support he can provide.

It’s better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

Even if Xiang Cangsong earns only three thousand yuan a month, it should be enough to feed a family of three.

At least, the hard times of a pack of noodles feeding the family for two days shouldn’t happen again.

I wonder how his wife’s condition is?

When Xiang Cangsong has worked a bit longer and stabilized, Li Jingsheng plans to visit them at home.

At the People’s Hospital, he has managed to connect with a few experts.

Maybe there could be some assistance offered.

After hearing about Xiang Cangsong’s family situation, Siying and Tang Ping both fell silent.

Tang Ping was fine; she was well aware of the struggles adults face.

Siying was still a newcomer to society and had just joined the Sunshine Clinic, where she enjoyed good treatment. Li Jingsheng treated her well, too.

She’s experiencing a relatively smooth journey after starting work.

She’s not deeply aware of society’s harsh realities.

The only advantage, perhaps, is coming from a not-so-well-off family, she had faced some hardships growing up.

"I’ll buy something someday and visit Master Xiang’s wife. How can their family not even afford food? I’ll bring some grains, oil, and flour over."

Siying said.

"Don’t do that now. Wait until Xiang Cangsong has worked at the clinic for some time, and you all are more acquainted with him, then visit their home. Doing it now could easily hurt their dignity. Also, he should still have enough money for food. He might be trying to save as much as possible to help his wife with her treatment."

Li Jingsheng could roughly guess Xiang Cangsong’s thoughts.

Having a child in school, a wife needing weekly hospital visits, rent, daily expenses, all the burdens fall on him alone. Not saving isn’t an option.

"Sister Tang, how about this, from now on, when ordering meals, order an extra box of rice for Xiang Cangsong."

"No problem. I’ll tell the restaurant owner to send an extra box of rice."

Tang Ping nodded in agreement.

Currently, the Sunshine Clinic has over a dozen employees, and their work lunches are provided by the clinic.

For the restaurant, it’s quite a substantial business.

If the owner is a bit generous, they will certainly agree to send an extra box of rice.

"When giving it, take care of Xiang Cangsong’s dignity, don’t explicitly say it’s for his wife."

"I understand. I’ll just say, ’Master Xiang, you’re working hard and have a big appetite, we specially arranged for an extra box of rice from the restaurant.’"

Tang Ping, a mature woman, wasn’t comparable to a young girl in dealing with people.

"Haha, our Sister Tang is becoming more and more like an assistant director! The clinic is like a big family; everyone has their difficulties and hardships. As long as we unite, help, and love each other, I believe everyone’s life will get better."

Li Jingsheng, as the boss, was always striving to maintain a family-like spirit of care and education at the clinic.

While chatting, Xiang Cangsong returned.

It was clear he had something to discuss with Li Jingsheng, but seeing so many people in the office, the honest Xiang Cangsong appeared a bit reserved.

"Old Xiang, how’s it going? Did your wife manage this morning without you around?"

"Quite well. She was overjoyed knowing I got hired by the Sunshine Clinic. It’s the first time I’ve seen her smile since she fell ill." Xiang Cangsong’s face showed a humble smile.

A family-man fighting outside, aiming for a better life for his wife and child.

Seeing the children grow up and the wife happy, a man feels all the hardships and struggles are worth it.

"Work hard, I believe your family’s life will get better and better."

Li Jingsheng smiled, encouraging him.

"Here are your supplies; you have two sets of work clothes, so you can change and wash them. You’re required to wear your work clothes to work, and you can learn to use these security tools. In the morning, you can practice with the riot fork in the clinic yard."

After finishing, Li Jingsheng looked at Tang Ping.

"Sister Tang, please handle the acknowledgment procedures for Old Xiang. Just have him sign."

Currently, the clinic doesn’t have a dedicated finance officer.

Li Jingsheng himself took on the financial tasks, requiring signatures when personal items were issued.

When leaving the position, some items need to be returned, ensuring accountability.

At this point, Li Jingsheng’s phone rang.

It was Xiao Linlin from the Department of Gastroenterology at the Second Hospital.

"Dr. Li, sorry to bother you again today; I have something to ask you."

"Whatever Director Xiao instructs, I’ll get it done even if I have to go through fire and water. Please tell me."

"Ha-ha-ha!"

She must be laughing heartily.

"You’ve become more and more skilled at making people happy! It seems Dr. Ou has trained you well! Today I admitted an elderly patient with severe intestinal issues. They insist on having a colonoscopy, and I’m not very confident. Could you come over to help? Is that possible?"
