Chapter 166 Contest
"Since everyone is silent, it means you all know the truth! Who among you thinks you're capable of this position? Please tell me right now! I'll make the decision right then and there and appoint you as deputy director! Who dares to speak up?"
Dean Hu's anger shocked everyone.
No one dared to look up at him again, and one after another lowered their heads.
The silence at this moment seemed like a silent compromise.
Seeing that everyone was silent, no one raised any objections.
Dean Hu's expression softened slightly, and his tone wasn't as aggressive as before.
"Actually, I've already reported this to the team, and the higher-ups have approved it. Now we're just waiting for the official notification."
Upon hearing this, everyone's heart tightened at the same time, realizing that this was already a foregone conclusion.
There is no room for maneuver regarding Ruan Chuxia's appointment as deputy director.
Today's so-called meeting was just a routine notification to them.
There is no real "discussion" here!
Just when everyone had not yet fully recovered from their shock, Dean Hu changed the subject and turned his attention to Ruan Chuxia who was sitting on the side.
"Xiao Ruan, I know you're an excellent professional. Next up is the management aspect. Before the official documents come down, you should learn from Director Zhou and see how he handles departmental affairs. Try to get into the role as quickly as possible. Don't let me down."
Ruan Chuxia immediately stood up, stood straight, looked at the dean in front of her and nodded solemnly.
Then he said loudly: "I will do my best to live up to your expectations!"
Dean Hu nodded, a look of relief appearing on his face.
Then, his gaze turned to Zhou Lin who was sitting next to him.
"Director Zhou, you have to take better care of Xiao Ruan from now on, so that she can stand on her own and take on important responsibilities as soon as possible."
The meeting room was silent.
At this moment, Zhou Lin looked extremely ugly.
He never expected that Dean Hu would think so highly of this little girl who had just arrived a few days ago.
Recalling my decades of hard work.
It has not been easy to get to where I am today after all the bumps and bruises along the way.
But now, he has to watch a greenhorn approaching his position, and there is even a risk of replacing him at any time.
An indescribable feeling of frustration welled up in his heart.
Therefore, in just a moment, he suppressed the resentment and anger in his heart and forced a smile.
But the smile did not really reach his eyes, instead it seemed unusually stiff.
"Since the dean has spoken, I will certainly do my best to cooperate. I'm just worried that Xiao Ruan has just arrived and may find the work too busy and overwhelming."
Opposite, Ruan Chuxia sat upright without changing her expression.
After hearing this, she raised her eyes slightly and responded calmly: "No, I believe Director Zhou will arrange all the work for me."
A subtle and oppressive atmosphere permeated the conference table.
Seeing this, Dean Hu patted his forehead lightly, waved his hand wearily, and said, "Today's meeting ends here. Everyone should go back and rest early."
After saying this, he was the first to stand up and leave the meeting room.
The dean left, and Ruan Chuxia certainly didn't plan to stay any longer.
She quickly sorted out the documents in front of her.
Then he stood up and walked out of the meeting room.
After she left, Chen Fang snorted softly. The sound was not loud, but it was just loud enough for the people next to her to hear.
"Some people think they are great just because they have become deputy director. In fact, this is just the beginning of a long journey. Don't you agree, brother?"
Hearing this, the man sitting next to her just pursed his lips calmly and did not respond.
But a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Do you think you can sit back and relax just by taking the position of deputy director?
No, the real battle has just begun!
The next morning.
Ruan Chuxia had just walked into the office and hadn't even stood still when Zhou Lin's reminder brought her back to reality.
"Xiao Ruan, please take some time to compile our monthly outpatient statistics for this year and submit them to Dean Hu before the end of the week."
Before she could finish her words, a thick book of documents was slammed onto her desk.
The teacup on the corner of the table shook a few times in shock.
Ruan Chuxia looked down at the mountain of information in front of her.
Then he slowly raised his head and looked at the leader in front of him, without any change in his expression.
Ruan Chuxia frowned, her eyes showing some embarrassment.
"Director Zhou, I still have a lot of things to deal with right now, and I really don't have time."
She paused, her tone steady but slightly pleading.
"How about... you ask someone else to do the statistics first?"
"Hey, Xiao Ruan, capable people have to work harder."
Zhou Lin was still sitting in his office chair, flipping through a medical record in his hand. Without even raising his eyelids, he retorted with a single sentence.
A look of displeasure immediately appeared on Ruan Chuxia's face.
In recent times, she has found that the arrangements at work have become increasingly unreasonable.
The task that was originally shared by many people was now all concentrated on her.
Especially these days, Zhou Lin often intentionally or unintentionally assigned her some trivial and complicated tasks.
So many that she was overwhelmed and exhausted.
I have to work overtime every day to barely cope with it.
In order to complete the task, she had to postpone some personal matters.
For example, even the weekly schedule of acupuncture treatment for Wei Chenglu was forced to be interrupted several times.
The household affairs were almost entirely handled by Xiao Zhiyu alone.
Thinking of this, Ruan Chuxia's long-suppressed dissatisfaction completely emerged, without even raising her head.
"Director Zhou, I have a lot of other things on my plate right now. I can't take on this statistical work for the time being. Please find someone else for this matter."
She knew that such evasion might displease her boss.
But she also understood that if she continued to acquiesce to such overstepping tasks, it would only make her workload even heavier.
This is neither fair nor reasonable.
In the past, everyone had a clear division of labor and performed their duties.
But now?
Why did all these things happen to her inexplicably?
Hearing her answer, Zhou Lin's expression suddenly froze and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.
"Xiao Ruan, everyone is very busy at the end of the year. Please understand our situation."
As he spoke, he stood up and walked to the table, looking serious.
"As leaders, we should share as much responsibility as possible."
Zhou Lin showed a bit of helplessness, as if he was sure that Ruan Chuxia would not continue to resist.
However, faced with these seemingly plausible words, Ruan Chuxia did not bow her head and give in as usual.
Instead, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly, sneered softly, and said, "Director Zhou, if the medical office is not enough, I can go to Dean Hu to report the situation and see if it would be better to consider adding more staff."
As soon as these words came out, the air suddenly froze a little.
