Chapter 2, Yang Xuan

In his view, if a task requires someone to be specifically assigned to it or to serve certain individuals, it indicates that the number of professionals in that industry is insufficient, or that the industry has not yet developed. There is nothing that the market cannot resolve— for instance, in the pediatric activity center of a hospital's inpatient department, why not hire more nurses to supervise the activity center and take care of the children? Wouldn't that be more professional?

Wouldn't that be more professional?

However, after thinking about it for a while, he still did not find psychological comfort and remained entangled—an indescribable entanglement

Yang Xuan finally understood his meaning, smiled, took his business card with both hands, politely put it away, and then said: "Thank you for your kindness, I will take a look, and if it is suitable, I will give it a try"

However, the position of assistant to the general manager is not demanding, it sounds respectable, and there is significant potential for advancement in the future. The company also offers a generous salary, which is certainly better than working as a volunteer for almost nothing. Li Boyong frowned, feeling that Yang Xuan, this female colleague, was somewhat lacking in insight.

He looked from the beginning to the end, and then from the end to the beginning, yet he did not find a single person with the surname Yang, neither male nor female

He had just freed himself from the palette, and he felt a particular sense of familiarity with this plain-faced girl—at least he recognized her now; once she washed her face, he would still be able to recognize her. Yang Xuan was dressed very casually; if one only looked at her face, she appeared fair and clean, looking quite young, resembling a university student. However, Li Boyong knew she was certainly not one; a woman who had worked in society for several years, no matter how young she looked, was always different from a student.

Li Boyong immediately called Xiao Sun: "Hello, Sun Licai, have you screened the resumes? What... not yet? That's impossible... Please take another good look, is there a resume from someone named Yang Xuan? Oh... alright, if you see it, just send it directly to me. That's all for now."

Their so-called activity can at most be considered a way to save the hospital's budget, as for what benefits it might bring to "society," Li Boyong certainly did not see any.

Li Boyong felt embarrassed, having acted on a whim without any preparation at all

Li Boyong cheerfully bid her farewell, and only then did he feel a slight sense of "helping others brings joy." Not to mention anything else, the salary that Baixing offered to its employees was considered quite good in Huzhou City, at least it was much more reasonable than the seemingly playful role of a "volunteer team leader."

After she finished speaking, she closed the door and left. Li Boyong suddenly felt that this girl would definitely be a reliable assistant.

Yang Xuan casually remarked: "The clothes are new; if you don't mind, it would be best to change out of the suit when taking photos."

There are also instances of guiding newcomers to Huzhou on how to use the subway ticket vending machines in the subway—wouldn't hiring two more subway workers solve this issue? As for nursing homes, can't a few more caregivers be employed? If it weren't for the existence of these "volunteers," perhaps some employment issues could be resolved.

Yang Xuan was as familiar with the hospital as if it were his own backyard. Li Boyong secretly asked a young man with glasses beside him, "Do you come here often"

Having met once, he didn't even ask for her phone number—of course, he couldn't do that. Li Boyong considered himself a serious and upright person; how could he feel comfortable asking for the phone number of a woman he had just met? He was merely earnestly looking to hire a good employee and had no other intentions towards her

Yang Xuandong paused and said: "Full-time"

She led them into the inpatient department, taking the elevator directly to the sixth floor. Throughout the journey, her speech maintained a steady and unhurried pace. By the time they reached the entrance of the activity center, she had just finished her last sentence. With a smile, she swiped her card and pushed open the door to the activity room, saying: "Now, please take five minutes to familiarize yourselves with the situation in the activity room. I will arrange the specific tasks shortly."

Yang Xuan nodded and said: "You may continue your conversation. If you need anything, just find me on the sixth floor. Reporter Song has my phone number. The event will conclude in one hour, so please be mindful of the time if you need to take photos"

Sometimes, one should not be too shy—even if one is a middle-aged young man. Li Boyong thought this to himself and then called his public relations supervisor, Zhao Xuan: "Ahem... well, about that volunteer matter from last time, you still have their office phone number, right... yes, I need it. Please contact them for me and find someone..."

After about an hour or so, Yang Xuan received a phone call and turned to Li Boyong, saying in a low voice: "The reporter has arrived. I informed the hospital in advance, and they have arranged a room for you to discuss the exclusive interview. I have prepared some materials that you might need over there, which I hope will be useful to you."

What is the situation? Has the HR department filtered it out?

He gloomily turned the mouse wheel, scrolling through the electronic version of his resume from top to bottom, then from bottom to top, wondering to himself, am I being deceived? Is she just being polite?

Li Boyong thought for a moment and felt that this was indeed understandable

He returned in a cheerful mood—until a week later, when the personnel officer, Xiao Sun, came to deliver the resume of the assistant to the general manager, at which point Li Boyong could no longer smile

Li Boyong understood one thing - it is still beneficial. He pointed at Yang Xuan and asked, "Is that team leader always the same one?"

When the event concluded and the children gradually left, while the volunteers began to tidy up the venue, Li Boyong finally struck up a conversation with Team Leader Yang. He asked, "Is Team Leader Yang a full-time or part-time worker?"

As Yang Xuan led the team inside, he briefly introduced the activity guidelines: "Today, we are going to the activity area on the sixth floor of the inpatient department. The children here are not seriously ill and do not have infectious diseases. If you are participating in the activities on Saturday, those will be held in the eighth-floor activity area, where many of the children are patients with blood disorders, and volunteers need to undergo training in advance. It is important to note that children receiving intravenous therapy must remain in their hospital rooms and cannot enter the activity area. If they play carelessly and accidentally dislodge their IV needles, it could be dangerous. Parents can borrow storybooks and toys for them, but must register properly. It is best not to bring food into the activity area, as it is not very hygienic. Additionally, please be polite and refrain from asking them about their illnesses or similar questions..."

The young man said: "It is not the case that there is a single leader for different projects; rather, each project has its own leader. Additionally, the personnel at the volunteer center experience significant turnover. Some individuals are part-time, while others who are full-time are often in a transitional period, such as looking for a job or applying for study abroad opportunities. Generally, being able to stay for a few months is considered a relatively long duration."

However, despite this, through Li Boyong's cold observation, he still felt that this leader named Yang, although not very prominent, was particularly organized

Oh..." Li Boyong suddenly had a slight thought of undermining, and after pondering for a while, the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. He then asked, "So after this is done, do you plan to change jobs or go back to school?"

Li Boyong followed her out of the activity area, went downstairs, turned a few corners, and saw that the media personnel from Yuehao were already waiting there. Inside, Yang Xuan had prepared a volunteer vest, which was very thoughtfully adorned with the logos of the "Hand in Hand" volunteer organization and Baixing Co., Ltd. Next to it was a large check for photo opportunities

Ah, indeed. The young man nodded and said, "As long as you register on the website, the volunteer center will notify you of all the available activities via email. There are projects for migrant workers' elementary schools, centers for children with autism, wetland conservation, and many others. You can register to participate whenever you have time, and over time, you'll become a familiar face. They also have some internships that they can introduce you to here."

Yang Xuan looked at him in surprise and said, "I... I probably don't have any other plans for the time being"

The participants of the event quickly gathered, and Li Boyong, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, blended into the crowd, giving off a distinct feeling of standing out from the rest.

In theory, Li Boyong's soy sauce bottles were all full, and he should have completed his task and retreated successfully. However, he was unaware of what had come over him, as he unexpectedly returned to the activity room after sending off the reporters, continuing to play with the children for a while with building blocks—despite clearly seeing Yang Xuan raise his eyebrows in surprise as he passed by.

She naturally assigns tasks to everyone, speaking with great skill and tact, never giving the impression that she is overbearing. Anyone with questions or encountering any issues can promptly approach her and ask her to resolve them

Li Boyong understood that this dog tag-like object was merely a prop for his performance. He did not expect so many people to be enthusiastic about this unpaid work. Although Li Boyong was not an angry youth and did not harbor hatred towards society, he also lacked any awareness. Having lived for thirty years, he had only heard the concept of "giving back to society" from others and had never truly understood it.

This children's hospital is considered an authority in pediatric internal medicine, with parents accompanying their children everywhere. There are also some parents with regional accents who specifically bring their children for medical consultations. Team leader Yang and several regular student volunteers naturally went over to assist them in finding their way.

I do not know why, but Li Boyong has developed a sense of satisfaction akin to that of a local landlord aiding a newly arrived scholar

Li Boyong, undeterred, took out a business card and handed it over: "Our company happens to have a position for an assistant to the general manager," he thought to himself but did not say out loud, "which is actually my assistant. If you are interested, you can come and apply. I think you are quite meticulous in your work, so you should be a good fit."

Being a volunteer team leader does not require much technical skill; it mainly involves coordinating with hospital staff for reporting, arranging for individuals to notify the children in the wards, maintaining order, and accompanying the children in play activities.

To his surprise, many people came, most of whom were students. A few individuals greeted Team Leader Yang warmly, indicating that they were likely regular volunteers. Yang Xuan handed each person a card to hang around their necks

The remaining matters have already been arranged by his public relations director. Most of the interview scripts are actually drafted by the assistant in the public relations department of Baixing Company, which are then slightly modified by the journalists, supplemented with a few photographs, and can be published directly.
