My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points-Chapter 96 - 85: Never Bow Down. Support from All Sides (Subscribe Please)_6

"I heard that leaders like to show their power to those subordinates who are thorns in their side, either by putting them in their place or by issuing a warning blow to reduce their arrogance before talking business."

Zhou Can's expression turned cold, just as he was about to retort.

Beside him, Director Lou quietly tugged on his clothes and shook his head slightly.

Signaling him not to confront the other party.

"This is Vice Dean Bai Ziran; let's hear what he has to say first."

Director Lou whispered a hint to Zhou Can.

"Now that things have come to this, I won't hide anything anymore. Dr. Shangguan Yan has been selected as the lead of the gastroenterology oncology department at the affiliated secondary hospital. If this department is well established, it will not only enhance the reputation of the affiliated secondary hospital, making its oncology department more competitive, but it will also greatly benefit the head hospital."

Vice Dean Bai Ziran laid his cards on the table.

"If a minor resuscitation incident impacts his reputation and tarnishes his image as a renowned doctor, the consequences could be disastrous. Zhou Can is just a resident doctor; by taking on this matter, he would greatly contribute to the hospital. Of course, no one wants to take the blame for someone else for no reason, but Tuya is a big family. As part of the Tuya family, we should prioritize the greater good."

His gaze swept across the room and landed once again on Zhou Can's face.

"Only by expanding our base can Tuya's employees live better and have broader development opportunities. The hospital will not forget the sacrifices made by Zhou Can for the hospital. Favorable consideration for excellence, advanced studies, promotion, and choice of vital departments, all these are possible perks for him."

The authority of a vice dean is quite significant.

The promises made publicly should be honored.

Giving Zhou Can a green light once or twice is entirely possible.

"Zhou Can, I ask you one last time, are you willing to make a small sacrifice for the development of the hospital?"

Vice Dean Bai's methods were much more formidable than those of Vice Director Yin.

First, he issued a warning blow to Zhou Can.

Then he moved him with emotions and guided him with reason, pressuring him with righteousness.

Finally, he dangled a series of rewards as temptations.

Under such circumstances, even the most stubborn and principled troublemakers have to give in.

Moreover, he is using an open strategy, all actions are public, nothing underhanded.

Everyone's eyes turned to Zhou Can.

"I disagree."

Zhou Can, without a second thought, outright refused.

Such an incorruptible stance made Vice Dean Bai's expression grow extremely ugly, his brows filled with a rapidly contensing cluster of frightening anger.

Like the clouds in the sky, growing thicker and heavier.

"Without the skin, what can the hair adhere to? Are you really willing to watch the affiliated secondary hospital lose a renowned doctor, lose a department that is about to flourish?"

Dean Bai's voice thundered like roaring thunder.

Filled with towering fury.

That intangible pressure weighed down on Zhou Can like a mountain.

Not just him, even Director Lou beside him showed understanding sympathy.

"I have a different opinion on this matter. To forge iron, one must be strong oneself. This time, Dr. Shangguan faced an issue, and you wanted me to take the fall for him. His reputation would be preserved. But what about next time? And the time after next?"

Zhou Can publicly questioned Vice Dean Bai.

"This..."

Vice Dean Bai, usually eloquent, was rendered speechless by the question.

No one could guarantee that Dr. Shangguan wouldn't make another blunder next time.

"If he truly has the potential to become a leader in his field, then he should be able to handle such minor crises. Otherwise, if the hospital places high hopes on him and invests countless resources in him, yet he ultimately fails to uphold a department, the loss would be even greater. Trees that are not exposed to the elements never grow tall, and without weathering storms, one cannot see rainbows. The more you try to protect him, the more harm you do to him."

Zhou Can's rebuttal was thoughtful.

And it possessed sound reasoning.

Director Xin, Director Lou, and others nodded incessantly after hearing it.

Vice Dean Bai fell into deep thought, his expression fluctuating.

He finally seemed to make a decision.

"Bring Dr. Shangguan in immediately!"

He looked up and instructed the young girl who was serving tea and water to everyone.

From the sound of it, Dr. Shangguan Yan was nearby.

Soon after, a nervous Dr. Shangguan entered the conference room.

His eyes, upon seeing Zhou Can, noticeably dodged.

Having done something wrong, the psychological burden won't be small.

"Dean Bai, have the matters been resolved?"

He looked towards Vice Dean Bai, whose expression was grave.

"After discussing with Dr. Zhou, we've ultimately decided that you should honestly admit your mistakes to the family," Vice Dean Bai informed him of the tough decision.

"Ah…"

Dr. Shangguan's figure paused, nearly collapsing to the ground.

His expression was anxious and fearful, "I am at a critical juncture aiming for the senior title, affected by this incident, my evaluation for the senior title will be delayed by at least a year. Also, my reputation as a distinguished doctor will be tarnished. I had planned that after my evaluation this year, I could lead the gastroenterological oncology department to great developments next year. Now all plans are spoiled."

Dr. Shangguan Yan never expected that saving a child would have such severe consequences.

The loss was too great.

Doing good deeds, how could it end up in such a mess?

"Don't panic yet, sit down and listen to us slowly. What Dr. Zhou just said made a lot of sense. From the moment the incident occurred, when you came to me for help, my initial thoughts were how to protect you and sustain the new brand being set up by our secondary hospital. Zhou Can said, the strength of your own self is crucial; this minor crisis is in fact a good test for you."

Vice Dean Bai truly is a hospital-level leader.

Upon realizing mistakes, he immediately corrected them, readily accepting the wise advice from Zhou Can.

Letting Dr. Shangguan Yan deal with this crisis by himself.

If he can't even handle such a minor crisis, even if we forcefully promote Dr. Shangguan Yan, any future incidents would only cause greater damage to the hospital.

"But the family has already brought media reporters here. If I admit my mistakes, it will immediately hit the news headlines, completely ruining my reputation as a distinguished doctor!" Dr. Shangguan Yan, nearly forty years old, was so anxious that his forehead was covered with sweat, his face pale.

His hands were trembling slightly.

It was not that his mental fortitude was lacking, but it concerned his future and fate; one wrong step could mean a deep abyss.

"It's my fault for delaying. The family thought we weren't giving them an explanation, that's why they brought the media to expose it," Vice Director Yin, quite skilled in handling relations, took the initiative to take the blame.

Actually, Vice Dean Bai was the one orchestrating things behind the scenes.

However, as a subordinate, stepping forward to take the 'bullet' and bear the brunt at a crucial moment is an advanced survival skill in high-level workplaces.

It easily gains the favor and trust of superiors.

In case of any important position vacancy, the superior would consider them first.

Vice Dean Bai looked at Vice Director Yin appreciatively, then his gaze somberly swept over Zhou Can.

His original plan was to exert extreme pressure on Zhou Can, forcing him to agree.

He really did not expect to encounter such a tough nut.

What was more frightening, after Dr. Xu stood up to seek justice for Zhou Can, multiple department heads, chief physicians, and deputy chief physicians spoke up for Zhou Can.

Facing the surging public opinion, Vice Dean Bai felt immense pressure.

Although Dean Zhu did not make a statement, knowing him well, Vice Dean Bai knew he had to resolve the issue properly soon or else Dean Zhu would be inviting him for a serious talk.

Tuya Hospital was not a place governed by one individual's dictation.

Nor could it act recklessly.

It operates under government leadership with internal democratic governance.

In this confrontation with Zhou Can, Vice Dean Bai was the first to succumb to the pressure. Hence, there was the move where Director Xin personally sent a text message to Zhou Can.

Speaking of which, Xin Wanshan and Zhou Can ultimately shared some fate.

Initially, during the rules training, Director Xin personally stepped forward to clarify the issue of Zhou Can being late.

This was a kind gesture.

Vice Dean Bai asking Director Xin to personally send a text message also carried a deep intention of playing on personal feelings.

Unfortunately, Zhou Can was too stubborn and resolute.

Now that the matter has been dragged on, it has led to quite serious consequences. Vice Dean Bai was out of options.

Dr. Shangguan Yan's reputation was definitely beyond saving.

Moreover, this issue also negatively impacted Vice Dean Bai personally.

In future elections for Dean, his approval rating would surely decline.

Thus, high places are cold.

Leaders sitting in high positions seem comfortable, but in reality, the pressure is immense.

Because of their high status and significant power, any decision made could result in extremely serious consequences.

Vice Dean Bai must be regretting deeply by now.

He couldn't have dreamed that a three-year-old child knocking over an eighty-year-old grandmother, a junior trainee doctor could cause him such a massive fall.
