Chapter 922: [(922)] Clever Dr. Xie

The most pitiable was Doctor Zhou, too young to understand anything, busy all night until morning but was coldly treated by the leaders, standing at the back of the crowd, becoming invisible like air.

The junior, errand-running, frontline doctors are like this, with bad leaders do not mention getting a chance to stand out, even a bit of merit is snatched away by the leaders. The saying “Daughters-in-law will eventually become mothers-in-law” equally applies to the medical profession.

Doctor Zhou hung his head low, silently flipping through his notes from last night about the Boss’s procedures.

Seeing Doctor Zhou’s demeanor, Xie Wanying frowned slightly.

Replacing Qiu Ruiyun, who had not slept all night escorting the child, He Guangyou instructed her, “You’ve hurt your face, go sit in the minibus, accompany Teacher Nie over.”

Upon receiving the senior’s order, Xie Wanying jumped off the ambulance. Indeed, the ambulance could not fit too many people. The village official was bringing the child’s grandfather over, accompanying the child to Guoxie, no more people could fit.

Nie Jiamin got off the ambulance first.

The waiting county hospital directors finally saw him disembark. The director extended his hand enthusiastically again, saying, “Teacher Nie, last night you and our Director Qi from surgery led a team to complete a difficult operation. You’ve worked hard, come rest in my office before leaving.”

Hoping the expert would stay another half day for guidance, the county hospital director thought to himself.

But, who was Director Qi? Since last night when they transported the patient here until the surgery was completed, until this morning checking on the child, only Doctor Zhou was accompanying. A calm glint flickered in Nie Jiamin’s eyes.

Upon understanding what Teacher Nie meant, Xie Wanying told the other party, “Teacher Nie doesn’t know who Director Qi is, hasn’t met him.”

Either it’s true or it’s not. The attitude of a technical Boss must be cautious and truthful.

The director was shocked, turning back to question someone, “Chief Zhang, you said it–you called last night to have Director Qi come to our hospital for guidance.”

It turned out that the person Zhijie Tao had contacted last night was Chief Zhang from the county hospital’s HR department. Chief Zhang explained, “I did notify Director Qi, and also spoke on the phone with Doctor Zhou.”

What does HR understand? Doctor Zhou, young and naive, has never even heard the name Nie Jiamin, didn’t believe he was a Boss. Doctors at Guoxie are also ranked. If not an expert, then not an expert; what gives him the right to come and take risks for a passionate doctor. After the surgery was done, coming over was fine, as being an expert, he still needed to curry favor with the director.

Now here, stuck with this expert who had just come back from abroad, completely ignorant of local customs, putting on a serious face there. Director Qi’s brow furrowed deeply, only able to clear his throat twice and say, “Director, I guided Doctor Zhou over the phone last night during the surgery with the expert. Moreover, Doctor Zhou is someone I personally trained, I trusted him to do this.”

Doctor Zhou was stunned, not expecting that in this moment, the director suddenly remembered him and replied, “Director Qi said he would come, but then he said he was busy–”

“You were too busy to come, eh?” The director now seemed contemplative toward Director Qi.

“The skills of Doctor Zhou are trusted by everyone in our department,” emphasized Director Qi, asserting that both he and other staff members had merits.

With the director speaking like this, if he dared to argue, he might as well be enemies with the whole department. Doctor Zhou’s head drooped, let it go, let it go.

An idea struck Xie Wanying, who said, “Teacher Nie thinks your hospital’s doctors are very compassionate, coming early in the morning to visit the post-operative child.”
