Chapter 69: Be tough! ~
Huang Zhao put down his crossed legs and glanced at Guo Ziyuan with a half-smile, as if he had satisfied some kind of quirk.
"Director Zhou, there's actually a purpose behind sending Xiao Guo to study with you."
"I hope Director Zhou can help Guo improve his basic skills and broaden his horizons."
"If the opportunity is right, Director Zhou could consider giving more leeway, which would be perfectly acceptable." Every point Huang Zhao made was very detailed and targeted.
Hearing Huang Zhao's words, Zhou Yong felt relieved: "Professor Huang, I'm relieved to hear you say that."
"That's all negotiable."
The requirements are specific, but not excessive, and are something Zhou Yong can accomplish.
"Thank you for your trouble, Director Zhou."
"Director Zhou is in Wuhan on business. If you have important matters to attend to, I won't bother you any longer."
"I hope this won't interfere with Director Zhou's important business," Huang Zhao said, issuing another dismissal.
Instead of being annoyed, Zhou Yong stood up politely and said, "Thank you for your consideration, Professor Huang, but I have some other things to attend to."
"I will make proper arrangements for Xiao Guo's matter, Professor Huang, please rest assured."
Ding Xianqi was just returning home when he asked, "Is Director Zhou leaving?"
Zhou Yong said, "Professor Ding, I have some other personal matters to attend to."
"Then I'll see Director Zhou off," Ding Xianqi said hurriedly.
Guo Ziyuan quickly stepped forward: "Master, Grandmaster has something to discuss with you. I'll see Director Zhou off."
"Let Director Zhou get to know the new students again!"
Ding Xianqi thought about it for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
After Zhou Yong and Guo Ziyuan changed their shoes, they went out. Zhou Yong breathed a sigh of relief at the door, as if releasing some kind of pressure.
Guo Ziyuan smiled and said, "Director Zhou, please don't take my mentor's words to heart. I'm just here to learn."
"When there are policies from above, there are countermeasures from below."
"Wishing Director Zhou a pleasant journey..."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yong gave Guo Ziyuan a deep look: "You know I'm here as a tourist?"
Guo Ziyuan smiled: "Director Zhou, what else can we do during the National Day holiday?"
"Director Zhou must have finished what he needed to do during the two holidays."
"I wonder if Director Zhou will be free these next few days? I'd like to invite you to a simple meal so I can get to know you as my teacher."
Compared to Huang Zhao and others, Zhou Yong felt that being with Guo Ziyuan was the most relaxing, since he didn't need to keep a serious demeanor.
As he walked out, Zhou Yong twisted his neck and asked, "Dr. Guo?"
"I won't have dinner with you. I'll arrange a welcome dinner for you when you arrive in Yishi."
Upon hearing this, Guo Ziyuan knew that Zhou Yong had misunderstood. Just as Guo Ziyuan was about to reply, his phone rang again.
Guo Ziyuan looked up and saw that it was Ding Xianqi.
Guo Ziyuan turned off the ringer first, and Zhou Yong said, "Xiao Guo, go ahead and do your thing. I'll keep your business in mind."
"He's indeed very accomplished at such a young age."
"I'll take a taxi now." Zhou Yong arrived at the roadside, hailed a taxi, and opened the car door with a sigh of relief.
Guo Ziyuan wasn't given much of a chance to say anything.
If you don't take the initiative in something, you'll be in a passive position, unable to take the initiative, and can only passively respond to challenges.
After watching Zhou Yong leave, Guo Ziyuan quickly called Ding Xianqi back.
……
A teahouse!
Guo Ziyuan stood guard at the door of a private room, his face looking somewhat pale.
Inside the private room, bursts of arguing could be heard, and they almost came to blows.
Across from Guo Ziyuan, Ding Xianqi seemed unfazed and reassured him in a low voice, "Don't worry, this is actually the norm in our hospital."
"Whether it's treating patients or nurturing students, we can't be pushovers."
"What deserves to be fought for, must be fought for!"
"Just like saving a patient's life, even if there is no chance, we must find a way to create one."
Guo Ziyuan is just not used to being in a passive position, but he really doesn't have a good solution right now.
The department has very limited resources for sending staff to rural areas. If Guo Ziyuan wants to take up this resource, it will inevitably mean that a senior attending physician in the department will have to step back and postpone his promotion!
From the perspective of the attending physician, this was Guo Ziyuan's act of insubordination.
But as Huang Zhao sees it, "My students and younger generation are so outstanding, you all better get out of my way! Anyone who dares to block my path will be 'dead'!"
Master Huang is not the kind of person who would simply bury his head in the sand and pretend to be an ostrich if the current head of orthopedics said that the trauma surgery department had already used up its resources and was not allowed to use them anymore!
Professor Huang Zhao's question was calm: "Wu Jianguo, I'll just ask you one question: just because he ate two bowls of rice today, does that mean I can't eat anymore?"
"Are you trying to starve me to death?"
Wu Jianguo is certainly the director of orthopedics, but in front of Huang Zhao, he was once a "child," only this child had to confront his elder:
"Professor Huang, this is not the same thing."
"You trauma surgeons can't eat meat every meal while the rest of us eat grass, can you?"
"It's acceptable if it happens once in a while, but it's unreasonable for it to happen every few days."
Huang Zhao asked, "What if I insist on having it today? How will you handle that?"
Wu Jianguo scoffed, "So what if I just won't give it to you? How does Teacher Huang plan to deal with that?"
"Shall we appear on the news together?"
"Professor Huang, you acted like an academic tyrant and assaulted someone for the sake of your grand-disciple? Director Wu Jianguo of the Provincial People's Hospital disrespects teachers and assaulted a senior professor?"
Orthopedic surgeons are doctors, but in essence, they are a group of rough and tough men.
It's not impossible that they might start fighting over a disagreement.
Wu Jianguo is the director, and as the head of the orthopedics department, he has to be tough!
"An Luming, what do you think?" Huang Zhao was probably out of ideas for the time being, so he put the pressure on An Luming, the current director of the trauma surgery department.
An Luming chuckled and, acting as peacemaker, said, "My idea is to take a long-term view."
"If Guo Ziyuan can really take that step, then everything will proceed naturally."
"The standards are there; no one says only Guo Ziyuan can take the exam. Everyone else has to give way and hold back."
"But the current situation is that Xiao Guo hasn't met the standard yet, has he?"
"It's normal for others to be unconvinced."
"We can't use the excuse of selling the future to oppress those with seniority now, can we?"
Huang Zhao sneered, "Director An is becoming more and more like a leader. He doesn't even associate with his relatives!"
An Luming forced a smile and said, "Teacher Huang, things are different now than they were back then. Without rules, nothing can be accomplished."
Crack!
Clang.
spit.
Ding-dong.
Huang Zhao smashed the plates on the table, probably damaging the teapot and teacups as well: "Without rules, there can be no order. Who broke these rules?"
Who was the director five years ago?
Why were the rules broken?
Five years ago, when Professor Chen Zhiyuan was leading his students to take the special exam.
At that time, he received far too many resources beyond the normal limits!
How did you get your hands on it?
"Someone broke the rules, but who helped them break them?"
"You want me, Huang Zhao, to pay the bill?"
"Who gave you such a big face? Who gave you such logic? Which old geezer is it? Call him here!" Huang Zhao's voice was sharp and clear.
The private room was completely silent!
This loneliness has lasted a long time.
Guo Ziyuan suddenly pushed open the door before Ding Xianqi could even stop him.
