Chapter 3 — After I finished my shift on time, the whole hospital was in chaos

Long opening statements. The speeches are very formal. Listening to it makes me almost sleepy. Half an hour later. Finally, it was Trieu Hoanh Vien's turn to speak. He cleared his throat and adjusted the microphone. The voice echoed throughout the hall.

“Comrades, today as I stand here, my mood is extremely heavy.”

From the beginning, he set a serious atmosphere.

“Our hospital has always taken saving people as its mission and selfless dedication as our pride.”

“But recently, some very worrying symptoms have appeared in our department.”

I sat up straight.

“Some young doctors, with only a few achievements, have begun to become arrogant and complacent, disregarding discipline!”

“Put personal interests above the patient's life!”

“When work is over, turn around and leave, leaving the critically ill patient for colleagues to handle!”

“What behavior is that?”

"That is extremely selfish behavior! Extremely irresponsible!"

His voice became more and more agitated. Saliva splashed.

"As a doctor, once you put on the white coat, you must have the spirit of sacrifice!"

“The hospital is a battlefield, we are soldiers!”

“How come any soldier has finished his shift at this time?”

"For doctors who have no medical ethics and no responsibility like that, our hospital absolutely will not tolerate it!"

He slammed the statement on the table. The sound rang out clearly. The whole hall fell into silence. All eyes once again focused on me. Like countless sharp blades. Trieu Hoanh Vien looked at me. His eyes were filled with the pleasure of a winner. He's waiting. Wait I'm embarrassed. Wait I'm scared. Wait for me to stand up and admit my mistake in front of the whole hospital. I disappointed him. I slowly raised my hand. That action was beyond everyone's expectations. Trieu Hoanh Vien frowned.

“Do you have a problem?”

“Director Trieu.”

I stood up. The voice is not loud. But through the sound system, every word echoed throughout the hall.

“Your speech just now was very eloquent.”

“I really admire it.”

“You mentioned dedication.”

“Speaking of sacrifice.”

“Then I want to ask a question.”

“Is the dedication you talk about a dedication that is rewarded or is it a dedication that is free?”

Trieu Hoanh Vien's face changed slightly.

“What do you mean?”

“I just wanted to ask.”

“If you have promoted such a spirit of dedication, how will the faculty's year-end bonuses be used to encourage those who contribute?”

“Why does a doctor who performs more than three hundred surgeries in a year, saving countless patients' lives, only receive a 6,000 yuan bonus?”

“While a head nurse often makes professional mistakes, doesn't even do infusions well, and receives up to 70,000 yuan?”

“Can you explain to everyone what the criteria for evaluating faculty bonuses are?”

Every sentence and every word I say is clear. Don't carry any emotions. But every word that comes out is like a bomb. Exploding in the middle of the silent hall. The whole auditorium immediately stirred. Trieu Hoanh Vien's face turned red. In just a blink of an eye, his face turned the color of pig liver. He didn't expect it. I dare to bring this up right in the middle of a meeting of the whole house.

“You... you are talk nonsense!”

He pointed straight at me. So angry that his voice trembled.

“Did I say nonsense?”

I took out my phone. Open the previously saved photo. Then walk straight onto the stage. Before everyone's surprised eyes, I connected my phone to the projector. The very next second. The red bonus announcement board is enlarged dozens of times on a giant LED screen. Clear to every number. Liu Mei: 70,000.00 yuan. Hua Jing: 6,000.00 yuan. Two series of numbers. Like two resounding slaps. Slapping Trieu Hoanh Vien straight in the face. Also slapped everyone present in the hall. The whole hall completely exploded. The whispers immediately turned into countless discussions. This person looks at the other person. Eyes full of surprise. Sit in the center of the chair row. The dean's face was so gloomy that it looked like it might be dripping with water. He picked up the microphone. Tap a few times. The chatter gradually subsided. The director looked at me. The eyes are extremely complicated.

“Doctor Hua, please return to your seat.”

He turned his head to look at Trieu Hoanh Vien. The voice was extremely cold.

“Director Trieu.”

“This matter, you need to give me an explanation.”

The principal's office. Cigarette smoke lingers in the air. Principal Zhu Haisheng's fingers tapped on the table. Every beat, every beat is very regular. Trieu Hoanh Vien stood next to him, looking like a student who made a mistake. I don't even dare to breathe hard. And I sat opposite. Strangely calm.

“Hua Tinh.”

Finally, Zhu Haisheng spoke up. He stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray.

"Today's matter, you handled it a bit hastily."

His tone didn't show happiness or anger.

“But I understand your feelings.”

“As a hospital manager, when I see such an unfair bonus distribution plan, I am also very saddened.”

Just a few short sentences. He cleverly put his responsibilities aside.

“Director Trieu.”

He turned to look at Trieu Hoanh Vien.

“Yes, Headmaster.”

Trieu Hoanh Vien immediately nodded.

“How do you consider this bonus plan?”

“I… I…”

Sweat immediately broke out on Trieu Hoanh Vien's forehead.

“I think comrade Liu Mi is very busy with work on weekdays. In addition to nursing work, she also undertakes many administrative and logistical tasks of the department..."

“Really?”

Zhu Haisheng interrupted.

“I heard that her main job during work hours is to cook soup for you.”

Trieu Hoanh Vien's face immediately turned pale. Zhu Haisheng knows it all. He was just waiting for an opportunity. Or to be more precise. He is waiting for a knife. But I am that knife.

“Headmaster, I…”

“Okay.”

Zhu Haisheng waved his hand. He didn't want to hear any more explanations. Then turned to look at me. The expression on his face softened a bit.

“Hua Tinh, I understand your request.”

“Let's do this.”

“I will ask the finance department to adjust the remaining seventy thousand yuan and transfer it all to you.”

“In addition, as the dean, I will compensate you with an additional thirty thousand yuan.”

“This story stops here, how do you feel?”

You're giving me a way out. At the same time, they are also offering money to silence me.
