Chapter 167 His Weakness
Hearing her say this, Zhou Lin's heart suddenly tightened, his expression changed, and the smile on his face had long disappeared.
He never expected that this subordinate would not give him any face at all.
Although he is young, he has a very quick mind and even knows how to bring in higher-level leaders to restrain him!
But what she said just hit his soft spot.
He knew that President Hu always attached great importance to reasonable collaboration within the department.
If the higher-ups knew that someone here frequently passed on complicated tasks to others, it would definitely cause trouble.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Zhou Lin couldn't help but grit his teeth and narrowed his slightly heavy eyes.
"Xiao Ruan," he said in a deep voice, "this is the busiest time of the year. If the others weren't really busy, I wouldn't ask you to do this statistics."
Then he raised his voice and his tone became more serious.
"This statistical data is important material that President Hu personally requested. It's extremely important! Do you think I would be willing to come to you on my own initiative? It's because there's no one else who is qualified to do it!"
Since you can use Dean Hu to pressure me.
Then I'm going to drag you into this as well.
Ruan Chuxia sneered, but her face remained calm.
"Director Zhou, do you mean that I have to be supernatural and be able to handle everything easily?"
Of course she is not a fool.
His intentional or unintentional embarrassment over the past few days had already made her realize that something was wrong.
"As you can see, I've been working overtime almost every day lately. Not only that, but even the basic work of the outpatient clinic has been affected, and patients are starting to complain. If this continues, it will affect the reputation and normal operation of our entire clinic."
She paused slightly, her tone neither humble nor arrogant.
"If this gets to Dean Hu's ears, do you think he'll believe that our frontline medical staff are doing their best, or will he think there's something wrong with the higher-ups' arrangements? Will he think we've got the wrong focus?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Lin was choked and his face turned blue and white, embarrassed and angry.
This is clearly questioning whether his work arrangement is correct.
You can figure it out with a little thought.
If something really happened, the person who would be most affected would be his position as director.
After all, Ruan Chuxia was telling the truth, as long as there was any slight disturbance.
The first person to be blamed was himself, who was responsible for coordinating the work.
Even though he was burning with anger, he could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger, forcing himself to suppress his violent emotions deep in his heart.
"Xiao Ruan, the situation isn't as serious as you make it out to be... Since you're so busy, just focus on your job. I'll find someone else to handle this matter myself."
He originally thought that he had taken a small step back and lowered his tone.
Ruan Chuxia should also understand what he means, and just get down from the ladder and stop dwelling on this matter.
However, after hearing what he said, Ruan Chuxia's expression did not ease at all.
Instead, he became even colder, with a hint of contempt in his expression.
There are jobs that can be done by others, but they insist on pushing the responsibility onto her.
What are the considerations behind this? Is there any selfish motive behind this?
She actually knew it clearly in her heart.
"I think Director Zhou knows better than I do how serious the consequences of this matter are."
When Zhou Lin heard this, a surge of anger suddenly rose in his chest.
He is a serious department director.
He is also a person of certain weight in the hospital.
Why did he have to be so humble to her, the newly promoted deputy director?
What is this?
He frowned, trying hard to suppress the irritation in his heart.
"Xiao Ruan, we all work in the same office. There's no need for you to say that."
Ruan Chuxia just glanced at him indifferently.
"Is it not necessary?"
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she looked at the other person with a smile.
"I don't think so."
She has always been clear about her behavior. If someone respects her an inch, she will respect them a yard.
But if someone keeps getting in her way again and again, then there's no need for her to be so patient.
Seeing Ruan Chuxia's "unsure of what to do" look, Zhou Lin's face completely lost its good mood.
He sneered, said no more, grabbed the thick stack of information on the table, turned around and left without even saying goodbye.
Do you really think that now that she is a deputy director, you are inferior to her?
joke!
Zhou Lin is not a pushover either.
As he walked, he secretly became angry.
He really couldn't believe it. With his background and connections, was there really nothing he could do to her?
He wanted to see carefully how long she could remain so arrogant!
…
As the Spring Festival approaches.
Fewer and fewer people come to see the doctor.
Everyone was busy buying New Year's goods to go home for the New Year, and the infirmary suddenly became quiet.
Ruan Chuxia finally no longer had to be trapped in the clinic seeing patients all day and could return to the office to work.
The person who was happiest about her return was Zhou Lulu.
The previously dull and boring atmosphere in the office suddenly came alive.
Laughter and whispers could be heard from time to time.
That afternoon, while having nothing to do, Zhou Lulu lay on the table, peeling an apple, and casually asked:
"Sister Xia, why don't you go back to your hometown for the Spring Festival this year?"
"No, I'm going to Beijing."
Ruan Chuxia said lightly while sorting out the documents spread out on the table.
"Wow! I haven't even been there!"
Zhou Lulu opened her eyes wide, her face full of curiosity.
"I heard the department store over there is three times bigger than ours!"
There was a hint of excitement in her voice.
"What do you want? I'll bring it back to you."
Ruan Chuxia smiled slightly and asked in a gentle tone.
Although she is young, she is recognized as the backbone of the office. She is thoughtful and considerate of old friendships.
The two were chatting animatedly, but Chen Fang was feeling very angry.
My heart felt like it was stuffed with a ball of cotton, making me feel stuffy and blocked.
She sat in her seat, head down, her fingers tapping the edge of the table nervously, her eyes glancing in the direction of the two men from time to time.
They work in the same office, so why does Ruan Chuxia always ignore her but takes good care of Zhou Lulu?
She was dissatisfied and felt wronged.
Why do you only favor Zhou Lulu?
The more she thought about it, the more upset she became.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt left out and ignored.
She muttered to herself, and without holding the door, she hummed softly.
"Oh my, just because you've been promoted one rank, you look down on us, don't you?"
Hearing her say this, Zhou Lulu couldn't help but roll her eyes and said coldly, "Sister Xia is not stupid. She knows who is sincere to her and who is insincere. She knows it like a mirror!"
She knew very well in her heart that the words behind this were not meant to mock others, but to express her dissatisfaction with not being taken care of.
"Really?" she muttered inwardly. "You don't get any benefits normally, but you act so slyly. As soon as you hear there's a little advantage, you stick to it again, like a plaster."
If it wasn't a company setting, she would have wanted to respond with something sharper.
