80: Chapter 80 Welcoming the VIP 80: Chapter 80 Welcoming the VIP Xiao Yifei saw from a distance that the hospital entrance was packed with a sea of people dressed in white coats.
“Wow!
It really is a full turnout.
Every departnt seems to have sent soone.”
Although Xiao Yifei didn’t interact much with doctors from other departnts, he was at least aware of their existence.
On closer observation, he noticed that the welcoming doctors were all pillars of their respective departnts.
Dermatology’s Jin Zhuang, Internal dicine’s Xiong Yang, Surgery’s Wang Changping – they were all there, craning their necks in anticipation at the entrance.
From Neurology ca Zhang Wencai and from Orthopedics ca Fu Kaiyuan.
These two were truly the shining new stars of Shangjing Hospital, each surrounded by a group of doctors.
They chatted and laughed with ease, exuding a sense of commanding authority.
Zhang Wencai and Fu Kaiyuan were hailed as the Twin Stars of Shangjing Hospital not just for their youth, but more importantly, because they had highly esteed professional and dical skills.
For people their age to already be lead surgeons was quite an extraordinary accomplishnt!
Yet Xiao Yifei had never set foot in an operating room to this day.
His major in university was clinical dicine, which left him feeling a little lancholic.
Shuffling to the front of the crowd, Xiao Yifei stopped in his tracks, stamping his feet to keep warm as he joined the doctors waiting for the so-called important person’s arrival.
Jin Zhuang turned his head, saw Xiao Yifei’s figure, and with a teasing smile nudged Xiong Yang with his elbow, “Hey!
Who’s that looking half-dead over there?
Isn’t that our little ‘Divine Doctor’?”
With a mocking smile on his face, Jin Zhuang pointed at Xiao Yifei with a tone of ridicule, “Look at our little ‘Divine Doctor’, curing with the look of a corpse!”
“Haha!
Jin Zhuang, aren’t you being a bit too harsh?” Xiong Yang laughed heartily, “How can you call soone a corpse?
He is the well-known little ‘Divine Doctor,’ after all!”
Jin Zhuang and Xiong Yang stood together, continuously teasing Xiao Yifei with their mocking banter.
Xiao Yifei stood in a daze on the spot.
“How co this important person hasn’t arrived yet!
They don’t even tell us who it is, just have us co out to welco them, how irresponsible can you get!” Xiao Yifei rubbed his eyes, “I’m getting sleepier by the minute.
It looks like I can’t stay up late on weekends anymore, or I won’t have any energy to work co Monday.”
anwhile, in front of the group of doctors was the head of the Surgical Departnt, Wang Changping, lecturing everyone.
After being intimidated by Xiao Yifei once, he had indeed improved quite a bit, at least he was willing to work diligently.
“The one who’s visiting today is Director Lou Nanfu from the Yanjing Health Bureau, so I still hope everyone can muster their spirits!” Wang Changping lectured in front of the crowd, “Ordinarily, welcoming Director Lou would not be my responsibility.
Vice President Li is out on business, so the task of welcoming Director Lou temporarily falls to to lead everyone!”
As Wang Changping spoke, he caught sight of Xiao Yifei lazily standing at the back of the crowd.
The mont he saw Xiao Yifei, Wang Changping’s body involuntarily shuddered with a bit of fear, as he certainly hadn’t forgotten Xiao Yifei’s terrifying deanor at the charity gala.
Fortunately, he only saw Xiao Yifei quietly standing at the back of the crowd, which eased Wang Changping’s mind.
Rembering the instructions given by Xiao Yifei, Wang Changping shifted his gaze away, vowing not to reveal any information about Xiao Yifei to others!
Assisting Wang Changping in welcoming Director Lou Nanfu was He Shanming, the deputy head of the respiratory departnt, who stood by Wang Changping’s side.
Listening to Wang Changping’s admonishnt, suddenly, He Shanming saw his colleague’s glance drift to the very back of the crowd.
Following Wang Changping’s gaze, he too noticed Xiao Yifei’s listless face.
He Shanming’s eyes lit up, recalling the hospital’s rumors about the discord between Wang Changping and Xiao Yifei, an idea started forming in his mind.
“For so reason, Director Lou decided to visit our hospital today.
We only just received the notice that Director Lou would be arriving at ten o’clock.
With ti being so short, we haven’t prepared much,” said Wang Changping, hands on hips, to the doctors, “So I hope we can all greet Director Lou positively and show him a spirited Shangjing People’s Hospital.”
As one of the few directly-governed municipalities in Huaxia, the ranks of all officials in Yanjing City were slightly higher.
The saying goes that even dogs and chickens rise to heaven at the Emperor’s feet, so it’s no wonder that the Health Bureau’s Director Lou Nanfu could stir such a commotion in a hospital like Shangjing People’s Hospital.
Wang Changping finished his speech and stood to one side, arms crossed, waiting for the arrival of Lou Nanfu.
After Wang Changping finished speaking, He Shanming stepped forward, looking in Xiao Yifei’s direction as he emphasized his words, “Director Wang has just highlighted what needed emphasis.
I only want to add one thing—I hope everyone can adopt the correct attitude.
Don’t be like a certain comrade, all slack and slovenly, bringing sha on our Shangjing Hospital!”
With He Shanming’s remark, the grouped doctors started whispering amongst themselves, unsure of whom He Shanming was referring to.
Standing at the forefront, He Shanming expected his words to prompt at least so change in Xiao Yifei.
However, Xiao Yifei remained inattentive as ever, standing crookedly at the back of the crowd.
Frowning, He Shanming felt a surge of anger when Xiao Yifei ignored his words; he spoke sharply to Xiao Yifei, “I’m talking about you!
Xiao Yifei!
If you keep up this careless deanor, then get out of the way!
Don’t bring disgrace upon our Shangjing Hospital!”
“?” Xiao Yifei, hearing his na, widened his eyes and pointed at himself.
“Deputy Director He, what did I do wrong?”
Seeing Xiao Yifei’s innocent expression, He Shanming said angrily, “You still don’t know what you did wrong?
Everyone is here to welco Director Lou, all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, except for you, snoozing in the back.
You should know, the doctors representing our hospital to welco Director Lou are the best of our hospital!
I really don’t understand what you’re doing out here!
You’re truly casting a shadow on our hospital’s reputation!”
Looking at Xiao Yifei with disdain, He Shanming continued, “An unworthy person participating only for show; how did soone like you erge from the ergency room!
Don’t disturb my mood here!
If Director Lou sees you like this, it won’t do any good to his mood either!
Get lost!”
When Wang Changping saw He Shanming scold Xiao Yifei with the first sentence, his heart sank instantly!
He turned his fiery gaze towards He Shanming; if He Shanming didn’t want to live, he better not drag him down with him!
Before Wang Changping could intervene, He Shanming spoke so swiftly that he finished berating Xiao Yifei before Wang Changping had a chance to stop him.
