Chapter 980: Chapter 388: When the Dust Settles, Xinxiang’s Shrewd Maneuver

"Director Hu’s last wishes are very important. I think it’s absolutely necessary to call Director Hu’s son for verification on the spot. It also can end the controversy and finalize the decision for the Director of the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department."

Vice Dean Bai indeed has an aptitude for administration.

He keenly seized the opportunity and the key points, aiming to resolve the department head dispute as quickly as possible.

The higher-ups all understand that the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department currently lacks leadership, leading to a disheartened team, which is certainly detrimental to the department’s development.

Moreover, several large hospitals in the province are continuously making efforts in the field of cardiothoracic surgery, truly creating a crisis both internally and externally.

In such a situation, quickly determining the department head, stabilizing morale, and resuming normal operations is the most urgent task.

However, appointing a department head cannot be done arbitrarily.

Especially when significant disagreements exist among these senior colleagues, even as a Vice Dean, one should not suppress others with power. Otherwise, discontent will arise, leading to even bigger problems.

Truly wise leaders never wield power to oppress, particularly in public meetings with many participants where maintaining one’s image is crucial.

Power is an important tool for establishing authority; it is akin to a nuclear weapon, mainly serving as a deterrent.

It should only be used to exert overwhelming force when necessary; otherwise, it should be used sparingly. The best approach is to win people over with virtue.

The vast majority of senior leaders place great emphasis on the word "public virtue."

No matter how decadent, corrupt, or hypocritical they might be in private, they must maintain a fair and strict image publicly.

"Who has Director Hu’s son’s phone number? Verify immediately."

Vice Director Ye also expressed his position.

The two vice deans are in sync, indicating the decision for the department head might be settled quickly.

Under normal circumstances, there might have been disputes for personal interests, supporting a more favored side to rise to power. Now, Tuya Hospital’s Cardiothoracic Surgery Department is facing a serious crisis, and Dean Zhu is watching over it.

In such a situation, which vice dean would engage in petty disputes for personal gains, disregarding the bigger picture, would definitely not go unnoticed by Dean Zhu.

Moreover, that vice dean’s image in Dean Zhu’s eyes would certainly plummet.

Such a counterproductive behavior, they naturally understand clearly.

"I have it, I have it! Last time, when Director Hu suddenly fell ill, and we needed to contact his family, I happened to save his number."

A nurse chief from the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department quickly raised her hand and answered, then took out her phone.

"Everyone, maintain silence. When you make the call, you can use the speakerphone and record it," Vice Dean Bai said authoritatively.

"Okay!"

This female nurse chief, in her forties, agreed crisply.

Being able to have a moment in the spotlight in front of a vice dean is certainly pleasing for her.

Everyone knows that among the vice dean positions, there is a position for a nursing vice dean.

This is also a senior administrative position that nurse chiefs dream of obtaining.

In the hospital, whichever nurse chief can take this throne has basically reached the top. Any further advancement would likely involve moving out of the hospital to take on roles in the hospital’s higher administrative departments.

At least, this is the promotion process for administrative positions.

Advancement in academic and research areas is a different matter.

In general, for some female nurses, if they can excel in both academic and research areas, their administrative positions are unlikely to be lacking.

The three are complementary, able to stand independently but also closely linked.

In several top-tier hospitals, some chief physicians are even more esteemed than the dean. These experts often hold multiple roles and have won numerous prestigious honors, having influence and social standing far surpassing that of the hospital’s dean.

The nurse chief named Hee started making the call.

The meeting room fell into a pin-drop silence.

Soon, the call was connected.

"Hello, Nurse Chief Hee!"

A slightly hoarse middle-aged male voice came through the phone, with a bit of a campy tone.

It was Mr. Hu, Director Hu’s son.

"Hello, Mr. Hu, I’m really sorry to call you during your father’s funeral period."

"It’s okay, it’s okay. Please go ahead with what you’d like to say!"

"Here’s the situation, Director Hu had given instructions regarding the selection of a new department head before he passed away, reportedly on the night of the incident involving Director Hu. Do you recall anything about this?"

"Yes, I was in the car at that time. It was Doctor Zhou Can and Doctor Xue Yan from your Cardiothoracic Surgery Department who helped my father into the car. My father gave them some instructions while sitting in the car. However, I’m not at liberty to disclose the specifics publicly."

Mr. Hu, Director Hu Kan’s son, refused to disclose details, acting out of caution.

He was worried about any potential issues arising.

"Mr. Hu, our department is in the process of selecting a new department head. There is currently some controversy, and if Director Hu Kan did leave instructions, we all wish to know his wishes. So, we humbly ask you to tell us honestly."

Nurse Chief Hee briefly explained the situation.

"Well... Although I also wish for my father’s last wishes to be respected and realized, since I’m not an insider at your hospital, I feel it might not be appropriate for me to interfere in your selection of a new department head."

Director Hu’s family truly has good upbringing.

You can tell from the manner of his son.

"Hello, Mr. Hu, I am Director Xie of the General Surgery. Please don’t hesitate to tell us about this matter. Both the two vice deans and I want to hear Director Hu’s last wishes. Director Hu dedicated his life to the Cardiothoracic Surgery field; we hold him in great gratitude and respect. We also believe his last wishes must be the result of careful consideration, and the successor he chose would likely be more beneficial for the development of our Cardiothoracic Surgery. So, please tell us frankly, thank you."
