Chapter 864: [(864)] The pressure of leadership Chapter 864: [(864)] The pressure of leadership It was an order. Xie Wanying stood up and followed Senior Tao’s arrangements.

“You’ll be able to engage in more academic exchanges with Professor Nie. Isn’t your English quite good?” Tao Zhijie encouraged her in a low voice, patting her on the shoulder as she passed by.

Senior Tao thought too highly of her; she had never been abroad and wasn’t very confident in oral communication with foreigners. Xie Wanying felt somewhat pressured inside. Of course, she knew this was her senior giving her a chance to grow. To become an outstanding doctor, one needed to learn how to communicate with foreign peers.

“All right. You all go ahead.” Tao Zhijie waved goodbye to everyone in the car, stepped off, and signaled to the driver that he could start the vehicle.

Zhu Huicang squinted his eyes, pondering whether Hui Cang knew about this arrangement or if it wasn’t so much Hui Cang’s plan as it was President Wu’s.

“Is that Doctor Song?” Kang Mingzhu pointed out of the car window at a young, artistic looking individual who seemed like he played guitar.

Song Xueling was standing in the empty space with a suitcase for boarding the plane in each hand, glancing at the minibus and its passengers with a somewhat silent demeanor.

“Let’s go, we’re off to the airport.” Tao Zhijie took one of the suitcases from his hand and hailed a taxi that had come to pick them up.

Afterward, the two of them got into the taxi.

The minibus and the taxi parted ways after driving out of the hospital’s main gate.

The journey was long, and one by one, people in the minibus looked for comfortable positions in their seats and closed their eyes to rest. Mainly because they were not very familiar with the new leadership. Otherwise, given the relatively lively nature of the group that had come today, they might have been playing and laughing nonstop in the bus by now.

Bored, so bored he almost felt moldy. Doctor Kim nudged Yao Jie next to him and pointed at the new leader in front: “Have you met him before?”

“No, the same as you. When I visited the Nursing Department, I only heard the Nursing Department Director say that Pediatric Surgery was going to change drastically,” Yao Jie said.

This piece of news from Yao Jie confirmed something, that the newly arrived Professor Nie was indeed the new lead of Pediatric Surgery. Everyone didn’t find this surprising. Director Hu was getting older, and continuing as director meant stepping down. Having a competent professor, even one from abroad, who was young and had the technical skills to command respect, was definitely going to be the main person in charge of Pediatric Surgery.

“Did you bring everything you need?”

There was no mistake that she was responsible for preparing the medicines and items accompanying the vehicle. Yao Jie touched her chest, unsure whether the professor coming from abroad would be very picky.

“Don’t overthink it,” Chang Jiawei secretly turned his head and whispered to the two of them, “He’s just one person, there won’t be any issues.”

If there was a problem, couldn’t the whole group handle the new lead together?

“You’re trying to drag all of us down with you, aren’t you? If anything happens, you deal with your own issues,” Kang Mingzhu saw through his intentions and scoffed.

“Don’t panic, don’t panic.” Zhu Huicang was somewhat calmer, adjusting his glasses. Based on his observations along the way, in order to make the new leader happy, it seemed that everyone should rely on Xie Wanying, thanks to Tao Zhijie’s arrangements previously.

“Relying on a female intern? That’s rich,” Chang Jiawei cursed at him, accusing him of not being gentlemanly or manlike.

“You could go up and converse with the lead in her place. Didn’t you also do an international fellowship for half a year? Show off your American-style English,” Zhu Huicang hinted with a look from behind his glasses for him to go ahead.

“I’m from orthopedics, how can you ask me to communicate with Pediatric Surgery? It should be you from cardiothoracic,” Chang Jiawei pushed him back, suggesting he’d be more suitable.

“I never did an international fellowship, and my spoken English isn’t good,” Zhu Huicang shook his head with the understanding of his own limitations.
