Chapter 9 — Steal My Dean's Chair? The Director personally handled it

Duong Tu Du looked at me.

“So we have to see if she's really that good.”

The interview was conducted in a publicly protected form. When it's my turn. Duong Tu Du sat in the front row. Phuong Thanh Hai sat in the back. Constantly flipping through documents. One judge asked:

“If you are selected for the expert warehouse, how will you balance work at the hospital and your provincial duties?”

“First, we must build a strong faculty.”

“Then bring proven experiences to share.”

“I don't make a business card just for show.”

The second judge asked:

“In your opinion, what is your greatest advantage?”

I replied:

“I can get what I need done.”

“Even when no one has your back.”

Someone below nodded slightly. Right at that moment. Duong Tu Du raised his hand.

“Can I ask one more question?”

The host agreed. She stood up.

“Doctor Tham.”

“She just went through a controversy related to her appointment.”

“Immediately after that, I registered to participate in the provincial talent program.”

“Will it make others think that you are using outside resources to put pressure on your own hospital?”

The entire hall immediately fell silent. The corners of Phuong Thanh Hai's lips moved slightly. I looked at Duong Tu Du.

“Dean of Tang.”

“Are you asking about the process?”

“Or are you asking about your stance?”

Duong Tu Du replied: I nodded.

“About the process.”

“I submitted the application before the dispute happened.”

“About stance.”

“External resources cannot sway a pure person.”

“It can only illuminate impure things.”

There was immediately applause from below.

“Very well said.”

Duong Tu Du's face darkened slightly.

“You know how to talk.”

I smiled.

“But what I'm better at is working.”

A judge opens the file.

“Doctor Tham for the past five years.”

“Tops the entire hospital in terms of patient satisfaction.”

"Top in the number of critical emergency cases involved in treatment."

“Top in evaluation scores of scientific research topics.”

“These things can't be obtained by mouth alone.”

Duong Tu Du sat down. Phuong Thanh Hai's face darkened. The interview ended. The list is announced on the spot. I was accepted. At the same time, he was appointed as one of the team leaders of the young experts group. Phuong Thanh Hai stood up and clapped his hands. But the smile on his face was extremely forced. Ha Thu Nghi gave me an invitation letter.

“Next week, Van Te Hospital will have a public academic exchange.”

“Principal Co hopes you can participate.”

Heard that. Duong Tu Du also stepped forward.

“Doctor Tham.”

"Congratulations."

“I thank you.”

She lowered her voice.

“But the province is not like Hospital No. 2.”

“No one will give in to you because of your loss.”

I looked straight into her eyes.

“I have never needed anyone to give in.”

Duong Tu Du burst out laughing.

“Then see you at the exchange.”

On the way back to the hospital. Phuong Thanh Hai did not say a word. Just entered the department. Chu Ninh ran over.

“Director Tham!”

“Something happened!”

I stopped.

“Who happened?”

“Phuong Nha.”

“She posted a very long post in the patient's family group.”

“Says that she was co-opted by you and Director Luc.”

Manh Khai Minh gave me the phone. Screen full of shares. In the article. Phuong Nha said she came from an ordinary background. Tried for many years to get to where we are today. But he was bullied by me, a "related person". She also said. Co Hoai Dan is my support. Director Luc is my protective umbrella. Chu Ninh was so angry that he cursed.

“Is she still ashamed?”

I read the entire article. Then ask:

“Where is she?”

“Right in front of the hospital gate.”

“It also brought along family members and some liberal media accounts.”

I put my blouse back on. A large crowd of people gathered in front of the hospital gate. Phuong Nha stood on the steps. Both eyes were red.

“I'm just an ordinary doctor who wants to work.”

“But Tham Nghien Thu doesn't like me.”

“I should be forced to the point of being suspended from work.”

A few people who did not clearly understand the situation also began to follow suit.

“An explanation must be given!”

"That's right!"

Hua Man stood at the edge of the crowd. Head bowed. I walked out. Just saw me. Phuong Nha immediately cried more intensely.

“Director Tham.”

“Finally, you've come out.”

I looked at her.

“You want an explanation, right?”

“I give it to you.”

Phuong Nha's hand immediately raised the phone.

“Everyone look.”

“She's still stubborn like that.”

I walked straight in front of her. Then calmly say:

“First.”

“Your appointment is against regulations.”

“She spread false rumors to defame her colleagues.”

“You use incomplete documents to attack others.”

Phuong Nha immediately shouted:

“It's all just your one-sided talk!”

I calmly replied:

“Then let the family of patient in bed number 18 speak.”

Right at that moment.
