Chapter 20 — The new Director is the object of attention

"Doctor Tham, that's not what I meant just now." I coldly replied: "Director Ton, you don't need to explain to me. Tomorrow morning when you review the reward file, you can explain it to the Disciplinary Committee." His face was completely drained of blood. "You know what's going on, right?" I looked at the old leather briefcase in his hand. "The person La Kien Minh trusts the most is not only Kieu Man." Director Ton turned to leave, but Hua Duong blocked the way. "Don't run away, what's in your briefcase? A picture of the hospital?" Luc Nghien Tu walked out of the meeting room. "Protection." Director Ton panicked, clutching the bag. briefcase. “These are my personal belongings!” The briefcase was opened, inside were several stacks of evaluation documents that had not yet been destroyed. Kieu Man's name is ranked first. In the comments column, there is a small handwritten line: "Tham Tri Ha's file is postponed, priority is given to Kieu Man." Signed: La Kien Minh. After Mr. Tan finished reading, his face turned pale. "That year, I had never seen this evaluation board at all." Hua Duong gritted his teeth: "She stepped on Tri Ha's shoulder to climb up, even stealing the ladder." Luc Nghien Tu handed over a pile of documents to the Disciplinary Committee. "Investigation through the night." Director Ton's legs were weak and he couldn't stand anymore. I walked out of the administrative building, the night wind blew my mind awake. Luc Nghien Tu followed my steps. "Tham Tri Ha, at tomorrow's press conference, do you want to speak up yourself?" I replied: "Yes." "What do you want to say?" I looked up at the still-lit windows of the hospital building. "Say the words that my mother hasn't finished saying." On the day of the press conference, the large hall of the hospital was filled with people. Last time I had to sit in the last row holding the roll call list, this time my name was placed in the front row. On stage there were no fresh flowers, no certificates, just a row of microphones and a few sets of announcements. Hua Duong sat next to me and whispered: "Look, the place Kieu Man likes to sit the most is now empty, which is a bad omen." My father was wearing his most ironed shirt, sitting on the other side of me, the button on his neck was buttoned wrongly. I reached out and refastened it for him. He said softly: "If your mother was still alive, she would definitely scold me and make me lose face." "Mom would say dad looks very handsome today." He smiled, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes. Luc Nghien Tu stepped onto the podium. He did not read empty words. "Today's press conference is a belated explanation for the past five years of City Hospital No. 1." The entire hall was so quiet that only the sound of turning papers could be heard. He announced the results of the preliminary investigation. The reason Luc Thanh Ha fell into a coma after surgery five years ago was related to the misuse of medication. Doctor Diep Thanh Lan discovered something unusual but was threatened, and the cause of her death was re-investigated. Doctor Tham Tri Ha is not the chief surgeon, does not modify medical records, and is not responsible for medical incidents. La Kien Minh, Kieu Man, Luc Minh Vi and other related people suspected of violating the law have been transferred to the authorities for handling. When he announced my name, many people sitting in the audience bowed their heads. The girl at the registration counter sat in the back row, secretly wiping her tears. The patient's family member who had given apples also came, still carrying a bag of apples in his hand. Luc Nghien Tu turned towards me and my father, standing straight. "On behalf of the hospital, I would like to deeply apologize to Doctor Tham Tri Ha, Mr. Tham Quoc An, and the late Doctor Diep Thanh Lan." He bowed. Not a cursory nod, but a 90-degree bow. There was no applause in the entire hall. This is not the right situation to applaud. Old Tan also stepped up

sorry podium.
