Chapter 261 Please, save my son
Dean Liu gave Du Ruoxia a thumbs up.
Du Ruoxia smiled and shook her head, looking much more relaxed.
She gently clutched her stomach. She hadn't eaten much in the morning and hadn't eaten lunch by 2 p.m., so she was feeling weak from hunger.
"Dean Du, this whole thing started because of me, so let me treat you to a meal as compensation."
Dean Liu extended a warm invitation, and Du Ruoxia, being genuinely hungry, did not refuse.
Moreover, she was dealing with work this morning while her mind was actually preoccupied with questions.
She had many questions she needed to ask Dean Liu, and it would be perfect to discuss work over dinner.
"Alright, it's rare for Dean Liu to treat us, so I'll gladly accept."
Du Ruoxia readily agreed, and Dean Liu picked a nearby restaurant.
In fact, he has worked in the hospital for so many years and has rarely eaten out.
He eats in the cafeteria during work hours and goes home to eat after get off work.
As for the quality of food outside, and which restaurants are good or bad, he actually knew nothing about it.
I chose this store simply because it's close by.
Dean Liu pushed the menu in front of Du Ruoxia and asked her to order.
"Dean Du, order whatever you like to eat, no need to worry about saving money for me."
Dean Liu was actually very tense inside, but his words came out with a hint of ease.
Du Ruoxia knew she was pretending to be relaxed, so she didn't deliberately expose her.
She casually ordered three dishes and a soup, and Dean Liu also ordered one dish.
While waiting for the food to be served, Du Ruoxia spoke candidly about the problems she encountered at work.
“Dean Liu, you told me before that there were no problems with the hospital’s management, but in my opinion, it’s not that simple.”
"In fact, there are many potential problems that are now being exposed one by one, the most serious of which is the issue of using back channels."
"I don't know if other hospitals are like this, but I know that the situation in our hospital is particularly serious."
"If someone who gets in through connections is actually capable but just unlucky and can't find a suitable job, then I have nothing to say."
"But now, many of these people who got in through connections are not qualified, and they keep causing trouble after they get in. What do you think we should do?"
Du Ruoxia's question is very pointed, but it is also the most prominent problem in the hospital at present.
Dean Liu believes that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. He used to be very lax in his management and turned a blind eye to many things.
Now that Du Ruoxia is taking things seriously and wants to rectify the situation, to be honest, he doesn't know if doing so is the right thing to do.
Dean Liu pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time, because the question was too difficult for him to answer.
Du Ruoxia didn't urge her, but just looked down at the menu and waited quietly.
She believed that Dean Liu must have heard what she said, and that he was not answering simply because he did not want to answer or was unable to answer.
Even after the first dish was served, Dean Liu still hadn't given an answer.
Du Ruoxia was starving, so she picked up her food and started eating.
When she's hungry, she doesn't care about manners or upbringing.
She had already spoken to Dean Liu beforehand; it was his own business if he didn't want to eat it.
Moreover, at this time, Du Ruoxia felt that Dean Liu had most likely already eaten before coming over.
Therefore, all the food on the table was specially ordered for her.
With that thought in mind, Du Ruoxia felt even more at ease eating.
As the dishes were served one by one, Dean Liu held his chopsticks absentmindedly.
While Du Ruoxia was enjoying her meal, he barely picked up a few bites of food.
Du Ruoxia could tell that Dean Liu was not in a very good mood.
It seems her question just now put him in a difficult position.
After Du Ruoxia finished eating and drinking, Dean Liu still showed no intention of speaking, so Du Ruoxia couldn't help but urge him again.
"Dean Liu, after considering this for so long, you still haven't given an answer?"
"I've finished my meal and drunk two big bowls of soup. How long are you going to keep quiet?"
"Dean Du, don't worry, I'm not answering because I don't know how to answer."
"Many thoughts flashed through my mind. On the one hand, I sympathized with them, but on the other hand, I was afraid that what you did would cause unrest."
"On the other hand, I have also seen real problems with hospital management, and I believe that most of the people who got in through back channels do not have a very good work attitude."
"Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages, and I am in a very difficult position right now, so I cannot answer your question."
"Let me think about it some more. I'll call you when I've made up my mind."
Dean Liu stood up and bowed in the direction where Du Ruoxia was.
Du Ruoxia was flattered by Dean Liu's politeness.
"Dean Liu, you don't need to do this. How about this, you tell me your answer before the end of the month."
"During this time, I will also have someone secretly observe and record everyone's performance."
"If it's someone who lacks ability, hasn't made any progress, and just hogs the position, I will definitely get rid of them later."
"But if those who got in through connections perform well and keep working hard, I'm willing to continue giving them opportunities."
Du Ruoxia frankly expressed her thoughts.
Dean Liu nodded emphatically in agreement.
"Dean Du is the most cultured person, and he is absolutely right about those words."
Dean Liu was very satisfied with Du Ruoxia, and therefore respected her even more, speaking to her in an increasingly polite tone.
Du Ruoxia smiled gently, neither admitting nor refusing.
After seeing Dean Liu off, Du Ruoxia returned to the hospital to continue her work.
When she first went there, no one knew her identity.
No one greeted her back then; everyone treated her like she was invisible, going about their own business.
After what happened that afternoon, everyone treated Du Ruoxia with significantly more respect when she returned.
Wherever she went, doctors and nurses greeted her warmly.
In her past life, Du Ruoxia was actually a socially awkward otaku and didn't really like dealing with such situations.
She now actually hopes they can ignore her like before.
This feeling of being surrounded and watched by others is definitely not what she wanted.
Du Ruoxia awkwardly dug her toes into the ground, but still had to smile and deal with each situation.
She had long known that it wouldn't be easy for someone with social anxiety to step out and become a leader.
Du Ruoxia's smile froze as she finally managed to escape the crowd.
She was about to walk to her office when she suddenly heard a heart-wrenching wailing sound coming from outside.
"Please, please save my son!"
"He's only a teenager, so young, how could he become disabled!"
A couple knelt upright on the ground, crying and kowtowing.
A doctor stood awkwardly in front of the two.
The woman clung to his legs and desperately kowtowed on the ground.
Her head banged against the ground with a loud thud, shaking the ground and almost creating a crater.
The man remained silent, his face dark, tears welling in his eyes and streaming down his cheeks.
The couple looked honest and simple; they must be ordinary farmers.
"Doctor, please have mercy and go see him again!"
"Please, please don't give up on him. If his leg is broken, how will he study? How will he work?"
"For us rural people, our legs are our life! Please! Please!"
