”Everyone, that is it for today's seminar. Tomorrow, the next part of the seminar begins at the same time. Please be punctual. In addition, there are some small gifts at the door. It is but a humble gift, so please, don't regard it with disdain.” At the end of the seminar, Zuo Cidian stood on the stage and spoke into the microphone.
The doctors, like locusts, made buzzing sounds and rushed out quickly.
There were also doctors who sat in the front row and asked him loudly, ”Does this seminar really take three days?”
”Tomorrow focuses mainly on surgery on the spot. Besides, Doctor Ling will be connected to the conference room, and everyone can ask questions.” Zuo Cidian smiled. He could not explain that the seminar was three days long because they had too much funds. A two-day seminar would not look nice. So, they extended it by one more day to make use of all the donated funds perfectly and make sure the donors were relatively satisfied.
However, the longer the academic conference took, the higher the agreed standard specification was. Often, a three-day-long seminar sounded like a great deal. The main audience who came to attend the seminar were all from other places. It was not a big deal for them to stay for another day.
More doctors acted as if they were just attending an ordinary academic conference. They chatted as they went out. They only slowed down to receive the small gifts when they reached the door.
”That's Zhu Bajie drawn on this pen.” Since Hospital Director Bo sat at the back, he ended up exiting the hall ahead of others. He took the small gift and found himself stunned.
There was nothing to analyze local pens. It was just that a fat Zhu Bajie was drawn on the cap of the pen with the style of ink wash paintings. At first glance, it was a bit silly and cute. It was a very pleasant and joyous sight to look at with its fat head and big ears after observing the pen again. The nine-toothed rake beside it was connected with the pen tube, which attracted more people.
Hospital Director Bo could not help but take out another pen from his briefcase. As expected, he found that the design on the cap was Tang Seng. His golden cassock covered the penholder. At first glance, it was a bit crude, but now that it matched with Zhu Bajie, he looked quite wealthy and noble.
”Do these come in a set?” Hospital Director Bo held the pens and looked at them in front of the light and gasped in amazement.
”Yes, they are,” said Qi Zao, who was the intern distributing the gifts. At this time, she chuckled like an undergraduate intern. She sounded stupid, rigid, and youthful, ”You may not have noticed, but the covers for yesterday's matching notebook look like a scripture book.”
”Oh… no wonder,” Hospital Director Bo smiled, still rotating the pens.
”Tomorrow morning's gift will be Sha Wujing.” Qi Zao smiled cutely again.
Hospital Director Bo's heart instantly skipped a beat. ”How about Sun Wukong?”
”It will be distributed tomorrow night.”
”Why can't they be distributed together?”
”We're giving out the souvenirs using the style of stamp collection in events.” Qi Zao continued to smile.
Hospital Director Bo was a cunning fox. He laughed out loud. ”Hey, if I leave early tomorrow, I would not get Sun Wukong?”
”As long as you attend the seminar on time tomorrow, you can get the souvenir. What's more, it's very rare to see Doctor Ling's surgery on the spot tomorrow,” Qi Zao explained with a smile, just like the way she was trained by Yunli Medical Company.
Pharmaceutical sales companies never take the matter of gifts that would be given to doctors lightly. Everyone liked gifts with high value, but the pressure of pharmaceutical sales companies was too great, especially in such a conference. Even if each person was given a gift worth several hundred RMB, it would cost a lot, but for doctors like Hospital Director Bo, it was nothing.
Instead, interesting sets of gifts would be very attractive.
The hoarding habits in a person was a very interesting thing. There were surgeons who would squeeze out time out of a busy work day just so that they could get an extra 5 RMB-priced gift so they could complete the whole set of the series. If people were to explain this purely by saying that it was silly, then the people saying that it was silly were the ones who did not understand and were stupid.
A young doctor next to him also put away his pen and said with a smile, ”What's rare? Ling Ran's surgeries can be seen every day through Yunli Medical Company's livestreams. I was on duty once. I had to perform surgery at three in the morning. As soon as I went out and sat in the waiting room, I heard Ling Ran say good morning through the screen. I almost went crazy at that time.”
”Yes, yes, I have too. I turned on the TV at three or four o'clock in the morning and went to the livestream, only to hear Ling Ran ask about the preparation of his next surgery. He even said that the surgery he was currently working on will finish soon…”
