The entire orthopedics department is divided into Orthopedics Department I, Orthopedics Department II and Orthopedics Department III, led by Director Gu and two other deputy directors respectively.
Each small department is divided into groups.
There is an unwritten rule in orthopedics: the lower the ranking, the more promising the future, because the leaders of orthopedics will be noticed by them.
Han Chen is in a group of the Department of Orthopedics, which is led by Director Gu himself and receives the most serious and difficult patients.
The two entered the conference room.
Han Chen said, "Give me the USB drive and I'll play the PPT for you."
Zhou Mo lowered his head, took out a USB drive from his bag and handed it to Han Chen.
Han Chen looked at the USB flash drive in the shape of Bear Er in his hand and curled his lips slightly, "It's quite cute."
"When I was in graduate school, I won third prize in a dormitory hygiene competition."
"Please sit down for a while," Han Chen said, and turned to go to the front desk to prepare the PPT playback equipment.
The conference room is not big, or it is more like a classroom than a conference room.
There were five rows of simple, long, pale yellow wooden desks, each with two wood-and-iron chairs like those used in school days.
Zhou Mo chose a seat by the window in the third row, which was close to the corridor and convenient for entering and exiting.
Han Chen was tinkering with the projection equipment at the front desk.
After a while, the projection curtain fell and a blue Windows computer desktop appeared.
Zhou Mo silently watched Han Chen connect the projector, turn on the computer, and then open her PPT.
However, after opening the PPT, an error message appears.
Han Chen helped her convert the PPT to a lower version compatible mode before opening it.
After confirming that everything was correct, he copied the PPT to the computer desktop, unplugged the USB drive, walked down, and returned the USB drive to Zhou Mo.
"Don't use too many Smart Graphics when making PPTs in the future. After you're done, convert it to a lower version and save it. Most conference rooms are equipped with older computers that use more advanced Office versions that can't open them."
"Oh," Zhou Mo obeyed obediently, "No wonder my advisor and I always encounter this kind of situation when we go out to give lectures."
Han Chen smiled and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go get Director Gu."
"Um."
After Han Chen left, Zhou Mo sat in his seat, turned on his phone to play the PPT, and rehearsed in his mind.
At the door.
As soon as Teacher Chu and Ren Haibo entered the room, they saw Zhou Mo in the conference room.
Teacher Chu was just about to say hello.
Ren Huaibo walked towards Zhou Mo.
"Hey——" Teacher Chu said.
Zhou Mo looked up when she heard the voice, and Ren Huaibo was already standing in front of her.
Zhou Mo's face quickly darkened.
"I heard from Teacher Chu that you will be giving a report today. I'm looking forward to it," Ren Huaibo said with a smile.
Zhou Mo wanted to retort, I'm not telling you this, what are you expecting?
But Teacher Chu also came over. Zhou Mo didn't want to lose his composure in front of Teacher Chu, so he could only glare at him intentionally or unintentionally with the corner of his eyes.
Teacher Chu understood that Zhou Mo was unhappy and quickly stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Xiaobo, you've just joined the group. Many of the methods Xiao Zhou is discussing will be used in your doctoral dissertation, so listen carefully. Xiao Zhou has been assigned this urgent task and is in a hurry to prepare. Let's let her prepare well and don't bother her."
Ren Huaibo said, "Okay, don't disturb her."
Teacher Chu thought Ren Huaibo understood his hint, but unexpectedly Ren Huaibo walked around Zhou Mo and sat next to him.
Zhou Mo instantly got angry and wondered when this would end.
She really couldn't bear it any longer, so she picked up her bag, walked around for a long time, and sat in the last row, the seat farthest away from Ren Huaibo.
Ren Haibo stood up, obviously wanting to continue following Zhou Mo's footsteps.
Teacher Chu was quick to act and grabbed Ren Huaibo.
"Xiaobo," Teacher Chu said seriously, "sit with me."
Only then did Ren Huaibo give up.
Teacher Chu sat in the seat he had sat in the previous weekend, and Ren Huaibo sat obediently next to Teacher Chu.
At the start of the meeting.
Zhou Mo received a message from Han Chen, who said he had something urgent to do and would come over later.
He also said that Director Gu had come to the conference room.
Zhou Mo had just finished reading the message when Director Gu brought Duan Feng into the conference room.
Everyone present stood up immediately.
Director Gu had a kind look on his face and said with a smile, "Sit down."
Teacher Chu came over immediately and said, "Director Gu, it's been a long time."
"How is Professor Shen? Is he feeling better?"
"Much better. It's my first day at work today, and I have to get an IV drip this afternoon, so I can't come. Sorry."
"Your health is more important," Director Gu said when he saw Zhou Mo quietly appear beside him. "We have Xiao Zhou. Having her represent Professor Shen is enough. Let's not waste time. Xiao Zhou, start talking."
"Okay," Zhou Mo put his bag on the seat against the wall in the third row and walked up to the podium.
Director Gu saw this and immediately reminded Teacher Chu, "Let's all sit in the first row. Bring Xiao Zhou's things to the first row as well."
Under Director Gu's arrangement, Teacher Chu and Director Gu sat on the center seats of the first row, one on the left and one on the right.
Next to Director Gu was Duan Feng, and there was an empty seat next to Teacher Chu for Zhou Mo, and next to him was Ren Huaibo.
Other orthopedic personnel are in the second row and beyond.
When Zhou Mo saw this arrangement on the stage, he suddenly felt like not wanting to leave the podium.
She could only endure the discomfort, speak as slowly as possible, and try her best to expand the content of the report, waiting for Han Chen to come back.
When the time comes, she will sit wherever Han Chen sits.
Almost everyone present knew that she and Han Chen were a couple, so even if they didn't sit in the first row, they wouldn't offend Director Gu.
Public institutions, especially conference venues, attach great importance to seating distribution. Some leaders will even curse and scold the conference organizers because they are dissatisfied with the seating arrangement.
This serious and strict concept of "hierarchy" is more stubborn than some feudal ideas.
Zhou Mo didn't want to offend Director Gu because he was dissatisfied with his seating arrangement.
The two parties will continue to work closely together in the future, so there is no need to create friction over such a small matter or make Director Gu unhappy.
Han Chen is undoubtedly her life-saving straw.
Fortunately, Zhou Mo was smart enough and managed to drag it out long enough.
Twenty minutes later, Han Chen arrived late.
He quietly came in through the back door and sat in an empty seat in the second row.
After Zhou Mo finished her report, while Director Gu and Teacher Chu were still discussing the details, she quickly walked down the podium and ran to the seat next to Han Chen.
When Ren Huaibo saw Zhou Mo finish speaking, his eyes followed her like a searchlight, with a hint of expectation on his face, thinking that she would be able to sit next to him when she came down.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Mo didn't even turn around, walked down from the podium and sat in the second row.
Han Chen was originally at the outermost edge. When he saw Zhou Mo coming down and wanting to sit next to him, he moved inward to make room for Zhou Mo.
Ren Huaibo's gaze instantly shifted from Zhou Mo to Han Chen, and a look of shock appeared on his face.
Director Gu and Teacher Chu were discussing something when he noticed from the corner of his eye that Zhou Mo did not sit in the seat assigned to her in the first row, but instead ran to the second row. He turned around out of curiosity.
When he saw Han Chen beside Zhou Mo, he understood everything.
He chuckled and said jokingly, "It seems Han Chen is too busy. The young couple has no time to see each other on weekdays, so they are waiting for the meeting between our orthopedics department and Professor Shen to date."
