Avoid detours, start by running a nursing home.

Chapter 12 Handover Completed

"There are currently seven staff members in the institute."

Liu Jing looked at Zhang Yang and was introducing him to some basic information about the nursing home.

"Old Zhang, who brought you up here, is the gatekeeper of the compound. He also works as a gardener. Don't let his age fool you; he used to be a soldier."

"The majority of the staff are caregivers, there are four of them, plus the person in charge, Li Xiaoyun, whom you just met."

"She also handles some of the daily administrative work in the facility, so she's considered one of the older residents."

"There is also a resident doctor named Lu Mingyuan, who is the one who examined Old Jiang just now."

Zhang Yang nodded silently as he listened to Liu Jing's introduction; he had met all of these people before.

However, to put it simply, the first impressions between them were somewhat... indescribable.

He's really having a headache about how to deal with Li Xiaoyun in the future.

She not only oversees the caregivers but also manages daily administration, which is roughly equivalent to being the vice president of the hospital.

If he wants to secure his position as dean, he'll probably need her support.

It seems I need to figure out a way to get along with her first.

While he was planning for the future, Liu Jing continued her presentation.

"In addition, the compound has its own canteen, and the head chef's surname is Xu."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang's eyes lit up.

Does the nursing home have its own canteen and chef?

Then wouldn't I, as the dean, be able to give some extra tutoring or something?

This shouldn't be considered...abuse of power for personal gain, right?!

"That's roughly the overall personnel composition."

After introducing the staff, Liu Jing talked to him about the elderly in the facility: "Overall, the health of the elderly in our facility is quite good."

"Currently, out of the 15 people, only two elderly people require special care due to disability. One of them is bedridden due to a stroke, and the other suffers from Alzheimer's disease."

"Most other elderly people are relatively able to take care of themselves, so there is not much to worry about."

At this point, a hint of unease suddenly appeared on Liu Jing's face, but she quickly concealed it.

Zhang Yang, preoccupied with his own thoughts, didn't even notice.

"But they are elderly after all, and some of them, like Mr. Jiang, have chronic diseases, so they still need to know some basic first aid knowledge."

She then looked at Zhang Yang and asked, "I wonder if you've studied any related knowledge, Xiao Zhang?"

Zhang Yang looked completely bewildered by her question.

First aid knowledge?

"Um... does the Heimlich method count?"

He thought for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out this sentence cautiously.

He's just an ordinary college student, why would he learn any first aid knowledge? He only knew about the Heimlich maneuver from watching short videos.

But that's just something I've seen; whether I can actually use it, or whether I'll use it correctly...

He figured the chances were slim...

As for other things like artificial respiration, he really wants to learn, but the problem is that no one is willing to teach him.

"You know this too?" Liu Jing looked at him with some surprise upon hearing this.

Although the Heimlich method was introduced to China in the 80s, it is not very widespread.

She learned this because she had a lot of contact with professional nurses.

I didn't expect Zhang Yang to know that too.

"Yes, but this one alone is definitely not enough."

She nodded first, then shook her head and said, "Although you are the dean and don't need to do the specific work, you still need to be able to step up in case of emergencies."

"I really don't know anything else," Zhang Yang said with a wry smile, spreading his hands.

Pretending to know what you don't know at this point is definitely not an option, otherwise you'll be in big trouble if something really goes wrong later. It's better to just admit it honestly.

"In that case, you can try learning from Xiao Li first."

After thinking for a moment, Liu Jing nodded: "She's the most professional in this area, so teaching a complete novice like you will definitely be no problem."

"I'll ask around later if there are any paramedic training courses available, and then I'll arrange for you to study systematically and get certified."

"Oh, learn from her?"

Upon hearing that he was to learn first aid from Li Xiaoyun, Zhang Yang's face immediately turned sour: "Sister Liu, can we find someone else?"

My friendship level with her had already dropped to 20. If I were to learn first aid from her, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

"Haha, why that expression?"

Liu Jing was amused by him: "Don't worry, Xiao Li is actually very kind-hearted."

"Although I may seem a bit strict at times, it's all for the good of the elderly people in the facility."

She thought Zhang Yang was reluctant because he had seen Li Xiaoyun scold even Old Jiang before, so she offered him a few words of comfort.

"Okay, then I'll try my best to study hard..."

Zhang Yang thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

Isn't it just about learning first aid from her?

I'm the dean, you know. If she dares not teach properly, I'll dock her pay!

"Alright, that concludes today's handover process."

Liu Jing smiled and stood up, looking at Zhang Yang: "It's getting late, I need to go back to the office to take care of some other things."

"The rest of the work at the nursing home is in your hands. Seeing how well you got along with Old Jiang just now, I'm sure you'll be fine."

"Sister Liu is leaving so soon? Let me see you off..."

Hearing her say that, Zhang Yang quickly got up.

After exchanging a few more polite words, Liu Jing finally gave in to Zhang Yang's enthusiasm and went downstairs with him in the old-fashioned elevator.

They chatted casually all the way, and Zhang Yang dropped her off at the entrance of the nursing home. During the trip, they also talked about Zhang Yang's investment in the nursing home.

It was through chatting with Liu Jing that Zhang Yang learned that the system had also assigned him the identity of a descendant of the original homeowner.

Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have gotten his hands on the house.

"I'm laughing triumphantly~"

After seeing off Liu Jing, the formidable figure above him, Zhang Yang reverted to his old ways and returned to the small building humming a song once more.

Now, everyone in this nursing home, from top to bottom, is in complete control!

When he went out to chat with Liu Jing just now, he casually asked about the operation of the courtyard.

After all, the mission has only been triggered once so far. The 5000 yuan reward is enough for a short time, but it won't last long.

You still need a stable income.

The results after asking were pretty good...

Although the nursing home has now been converted to a private enterprise, the civil affairs department still provides some subsidies because the original elderly people still live there.

So overall, the nursing home is still profitable, enough to pay him, the "director," another salary.

He's already decided: we don't need more than that; a stable income of three or four thousand is enough.

Based on the consumption levels of later generations, it should be roughly equivalent to a monthly salary of over ten thousand.

Now that I'm the dean, I should at least have this much face, right?

It's okay to take a little less at first. We can find more elderly people to move in later as we expand the business, and the salary can be increased little by little.

Anyway, it's not a matter of just saying a word.

More importantly, in addition to a salary, I now also have a place to live!

There is another bedroom next to the dean's office on the top floor, which is also for his exclusive use.

Food and accommodation included!

Now you can literally move into a nursing home at 20 with just your bags, saving yourself 60 years of wasted time!

Those few thousand yuan in wages are pure income; there's no need to pay rent, transportation costs, or meal expenses—it all goes into my pocket.

Even earning over 10,000 yuan a month doesn't feel this comfortable, right?

In twenty or thirty years, they can acquire another property worth over a billion...

The thought of his future happy life made Zhang Yang feel excited.

Unexpectedly, his joy turned to sorrow; he turned the corner and was about to go upstairs...

bang~

Ouch~

A cry of pain was heard, and Zhang Yang and Li Xiaoyun covered their heads and squatted down at the bottom of the stairs.
