Chapter 1231 It's Not Easy to Be a Butler
After returning to Nianwei Hospital in the afternoon, Li Xiangnan called the Chief of Finance Xu Ping over. After reading the financial status of Nianwei Hospital from last month that she submitted, he nodded and said, "It still hasn't exceeded 10,000!"
Xu Ping smiled and said, "Director, this is already very good! We have been able to stabilize our income and it has surpassed many large hospitals in Yanjing! Although our income is not as high as theirs at the moment, we have only moved here for a few days, and we will definitely be able to reach the ten thousand yuan mark this year!"
Profits were indeed generated at the old Yenching University Hospital last month. The entire scale is now completely beyond what it was before. Starting from January 80, the profits are definitely higher than before.
So Xu Ping is very confident.
But this is obviously not a question of one plus one equals two.
"As the scale grows, the costs of labor, water and electricity, instrument wear and tear, medical supplies, and medicines also increase accordingly. The scale is indeed large, but if there is no huge flow of people to support it, we will lose money if we use gross profit to cover the excessive costs!"
Li Xiangnan is well aware of the current situation.
"Dean, I am very confident!" But Xu Ping had a mysterious confidence in Li Xiangnan.
Li Xiangnan smiled and said, "Well, it's the beginning of the new year, a new atmosphere, let's raise everyone's enthusiasm! Don't worry about the remaining money. Keep it in my account. You and Section Chief Zheng can buy some New Year's goods and distribute them to everyone on the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, so that everyone can be in a good mood before the New Year! There are only a few days left!"
"Dean!" Xu Ping was very touched when she heard this. She wanted to persuade him not to give out all the money, but after hesitating for a moment, she nodded and said, "I will discuss buying it with Section Chief Zheng! I will try to leave you some money for the New Year!"
"Don't feel burdened! I have more than just this hospital!" Li Xiangnan smiled and waved his hand to let her leave.
"Xiao Duan, Xiao Hu? You are here too!" Xu Ping walked to the door and as soon as she opened it, she saw Duan Sijiu and Hu Yinglong standing at the door. Next to them was Ge Lu, the secretary of the Youth League branch of cell biology in the Department of Biology.
"Chief Xu!"
A few people greeted each other and walked in.
Li Xiangnan stood up and poured water for the three people, and said with a smile: "Old Duan, why don't you go home?"
Duan Sijiu grinned, "I called home! My family told me that I must hold on to the end before I can go back! If I leave, what will you do with your New Year's debt? I can't leave!"
"Have tea!" Li Xiangnan smiled gratefully and looked at Hu Yinglong.
"Brother Nan, why are you looking at me? My family is from Yanjing..." Hu Yinglong's face froze, "I still have a career!"
Seeing his face flushed, Li Xiangnan kicked him and said, "Hurry up and sit down! I want to ask why Ge Lu doesn't go home? Her home is quite far away!"
Ge Lu's face turned red, and she was a little shy for the first time. "I want to help out here during the winter vacation! I heard that your company is short of people during the New Year! I want to work part-time..."
"That's not a matter of just one sentence!" Li Xiangnan smiled, and seeing Hu Yinglong was so happy beside him, he felt the same way as Ming Jing'er.
"Thank you, squad leader!" Ge Lu smiled gratefully.
"Sign it!" Duan Sijiu took out a form from his bag and handed it over. "According to your request, I took out one thousand yuan to buy New Year's goods for Nanyi's employees!"
"Yes!" Li Xiangnan signed and handed it to him, "Nanyi has few employees, but we must not neglect them! If the money is not enough, you must tell us!"
Duan Sijiu shook his head. "I'm confident that Yinglong can handle this matter. He has the channels and the money!"
As he spoke, he handed the thousand yuan in his bag to Hu Yinglong and patted him on the shoulder, "It's just right for you to ask Secretary Ge for help!"
"Of course! Leave it to me. I'll go first, Brother Nan!" Hu Yinglong took the money and put it in his pocket, then led Ge Lu out.
After they left, Li Xiangnan leaned over to the window and took a look. Seeing the two of them riding side by side towards the school gate, he suddenly smiled and asked, "Is your relationship stable?"
"After the exam two days ago, Yinglong brought Ge Lu home for dinner! I guess his parents are quite satisfied with Ge Lu!"
Li Xiangnan's eyes lit up, "It would be a great thing if Ge Lu could stay in Yanjing!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"By the way, call Lao Ye tonight and let's go to the dormitory and treat him to a meal together!"
Duan Sijiu stood up and said, "Okay! I'll go right away! You sign this letter. After that, I have to go to Chunyu again to distribute New Year's goods to the employees with Director Ding!"
Li Xiangnan took the watch and looked at it. "Old Duan, you're good! 680 yuan, both in cents and in whole numbers!"
"I've checked it all! Trust the people you hire, and don't hire the people you don't trust. Let the former administrative section chief of their factory buy it! I've seen the stuff, it's not bad!"
"Okay, I can rest assured that you can do the work!"
Duan Sijiu finished his two tasks and left in a hurry.
After a while, Song Yi brought Jian Jingzhe in.
"I heard from Defa that Xu Ke and Lao Duan are here to buy New Year's goods? Do you have enough money? It's not easy to be a housekeeper!" Song Yi went to pour water slowly, rubbing her face while breathing heavily.
"That's enough! I just earn a little less! But my brothers have been busy all year round, so there must be some extra income!" Li Xiangnan closed the window for smoking, turned around to see that she and Jian Jingzhe were both freezing, and said unhappily: "You prefer elegance over temperature. You know it's cold, but you still wear so little!"
"We're going to discuss something! We have to be more formal!" Song Yi smiled and pointed at Jian Jingzhe, "Miss Jingzhe said so!"
The two girls wore well-tailored suits inside and dark coats outside, which really gave people a capable and resolute image.
But in this weather of minus ten degrees, it is somewhat torture.
"I'll install a stove in the office later!" Li Xiangnan said solemnly.
"Don't do that. Whose dean's office is like home?" Song Yi warmed her hands with a hot water cup and felt much better. She smiled and said, "Is Jingzhe okay? Can we go now?"
"I'm fine! I've gotten used to it over the years!" Jian Jingzhe smiled calmly.
"Learn from you!" Song Yi stroked her forehead, picked up the bag on the sofa, and reminded: "According to your instructions, I found the purchase order of Donghai People's Hospital and brought it with me! I also drafted an international purchase contract based on Jingzhe's suggestion and added the customs import and export taxes!"
"Okay, let's go downstairs!"
Leading the two downstairs, Song Zimo had already started the car and was waiting at the bottom of the stairs. When he got into the car and saw a lot of gifts on the back seat, Li Xiangnan said with emotion: "You are really attentive!"
"Show some courtesy! No matter how we helped Cui Jindong before, this time, we're asking someone to do something for us, so we have to show due courtesy!" Song Yi and Jian Jingzhe sat in the back seat, one on the left and one on the right.
Li Xiangnan nodded slightly after hearing this, and then said, "Let's go!"
The car roared its engine and immediately headed towards the Malaysian Embassy.
When they arrived at the place, Li Xiangnan had just helped Jian Jingzhe out and was going to pick up the gifts from the back seat when he saw Cui Jindong leading a group of embassy staff members hurriedly getting into the car.
The three of them looked at each other. Li Xiangnan's heart skipped a beat and he quickly asked, "Ambassador Cui, are you leaving?"
Cui Jindong was just about to get into the car parked at the door of the revolving lobby. When he heard Li Xiangnan's voice, he looked down the stairs. He was immediately delighted and quickly stopped and ran down.
"Doctor Li, I was just about to come look for you!"
Li Xiangnan and Song Yijian looked at each other, suppressed their doubts and asked, "Ambassador Cui, you are looking for me? Is there something?"
