Chapter 173 Killing Two Birds with One Stone
He does not have any special status in this hospital, but once he gets that so-called new opportunity, he will be promoted to vice president of another hospital immediately.
This temptation made him hesitate and ultimately make a choice that went against his professional ethics.
What's worse is that while successfully gaining benefits, he also attempted to use the despicable method of shifting the blame to Ruan Chuxia in advance.
In this way, you can kill two birds with one stone.
Not only can you complete the task in exchange for a promotion, but you can also prevent your opponent from being promoted before leaving.
It was a perfect plan.
Dean Hu looked down at the floor beneath his feet.
He finally raised his head and stood up with difficulty.
At that moment, Ruan Chuxia looked at the familiar figure standing not far away, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.
She suddenly felt that Dean Hu seemed to have aged more than ten years.
The spine that was once straight and strong is now slightly bent.
The once energetic face is now full of fatigue.
She couldn't help but whispered, "President Hu."
There seemed to be thousands of words hidden in that voice.
Xiao Zhiyu also hurried over to support him.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Zhiyu had a vague feeling of unease in his heart.
Dean Hu raised his hand to indicate that everything was fine, and straightened his back a little.
"I'm fine."
The raised hand fell down steadily.
He looked at Zhou Lin.
"You should resign."
When his eyes fell on Zhou Lin's face, there was no warmth in them.
Zhou Lin was stunned, and then his heart sank.
The whole person seemed to have fallen into an abyss.
Immediately afterwards, a chill swept up from under my feet.
He maintained a calm exterior, but his shaking hands betrayed his feelings.
"Teacher, I lost, didn't I?"
Their relationship is not just that of superiors and subordinates, but also that of master and apprentice.
This is the reason that Dean Hu finds most unacceptable.
As a boss, perhaps there is room for tolerance;.
But as someone who once taught him everything and cultivated him with great care, such a fall is a true betrayal.
Dean Hu's face showed no emotion.
"It's not that you lose, it's that you reap what you sow."
He still looked normal.
After a pause, he continued, "The Zhou Lin I know is sincere, trusted by his patients, and solely concerned about the infirmary. But now, your mind has become crooked, obsessed with climbing the ladder, and for personal gain, you've even colluded with other hospitals."
"You've changed."
The person he was proud of and was willing to pass on his medical skills and even ideas to is no longer with us.
Zhou Lin's face turned pale in an instant.
"I haven't changed. I'm still the same person I was before."
His lips trembled slightly as he said this, and the defense came out almost impulsively.
He wanted to prove that he was right.
I also want to explain what is quietly changing is someone else.
Not him.
The teacher has obviously changed and has found someone he values more.
But he knew that if he said this, it would only anger Dean Hu even more, so he could only swallow it back.
As if seeing through his thoughts, Dean Hu gave a wry smile.
"When talented people emerged here before, you never felt uncomfortable and even took the initiative to help cultivate them. I focused on training Xiao Ruan, but I just wanted her to take over your job in the future. Why do you think I'm trying to squeeze you out?"
The smile was very faint, even sad, with some regret.
It’s not like you didn’t have opportunities to grow during those years.
But I intend to promote you, hoping that you can create a broader platform.
But why do you always see it as a replacement?
"I don't……"
Zhou Lin wanted to defend himself.
Dean Hu waved his hand with a hint of sneer.
"I didn't call the police to arrest you for all the treacherous things you've done now, because of our past friendship. I'll give you one day to resign."
"What else do you want to say?"
Zhou Lin's expression finally changed completely.
He worked hard for nearly ten years and finally made it from a small medical assistant to his current position as director.
There is so much unknown sweat involved in this.
If he resigned voluntarily at such a sensitive time.
How will the outside world view him?
How will those people in the infirmary react?
"Teacher...can you give me a few more months?"
He almost bit his lips and squeezed out these words.
"When you stole the formula, did you ever think about today? When you gave the formula to other hospitals for profit, did you still have a bit of 'teacher-student affection' in your mind?"
Dean Hu stared at him coldly.
"Being the director isn't enough? Tell me! Xiao Ruan, does she really have any real power? Aren't you the one who handles all the key affairs and important decisions?"
He practically roared.
"Can't you see past this little thing? Do you know what that formula means to the entire infirmary? Just because I made Xiao Ruan the deputy director, you're unwilling to accept it and can't swallow this humiliation? Just to get that position back, you dared to give away the research results that all of us have worked so hard for years!"
"You're still trying to put all the blame on Xiao Ruan? You think she's blocking your way? Don't you know what you've done?!"
He pointed his finger at Zhou Lin, whose face had already turned pale.
Zhou Lin knew that any further words of pleading would be in vain.
He finally broke down completely, kneeling on the ground and crying, "Teacher, I was wrong, I was really wrong... Can you please forgive me just once? You can hit me or scold me, but just don't let me leave now..."
At that moment, I looked at the man kneeling on the ground in front of me.
Dean Hu's heart seemed to be gently touched by something, as if he saw the young and energetic but still saveable Zhou Lin when he first entered the infirmary.
But there was still a chance to correct it then.
And now?
Everything is irreversible.
Seeing that the teacher never responded to him and no trace of sympathy appeared on his face, he felt very sad.
In despair, Zhou Lin could only look at Ruan Chuxia who was standing next to him.
"Xiao Ruan, can you please say something for me? I know I've wronged you, but you didn't suffer much when I framed you back then, and you've always been very capable... I believe that with your abilities, you'll definitely be able to come up with a new formula that's even better than the original one."
"So...Xiao Ruan, I beg you to help me, okay?"
But after hearing this, Ruan Chuxia just smiled coldly.
"The damage has already been done. Regardless of whether you achieved your goal or not, the fact that it happened won't change. I can create a newer formula, but it won't change what you did."
Seeing that Ruan Chuxia was unwilling to say a single good word, Zhou Lin suddenly became anxious.
"You beat me, didn't you? Are you feeling incredibly proud? I can tell you this clearly! The me of today might become the you of tomorrow. One day, someone more outstanding than you will emerge. What will you do then? How can you convince others that you're not the next me?!"
At this time, this person was still thinking about sowing discord between himself and Dean Hu.
Ruan Chuxia's heart was completely chilled.
