From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor

Yan Huaiyi as a person has some abilities, but his biggest problem is his stuttering. If a person can’t speak fluently, it’s easy to give the impression of being clumsy. He is someone who was parachuted into the Infectious Disease Hospital and doesn’t have much foundation here, so after arriving at the Infectious Disease Hospital, he encountered collective resistance from the leadership team, and this resistance is not on the surface, but behind the scenes.

This has made Yan Huaiyi’s work development consistently unsuccessful. He also considered lowering his stance to improve relationships with colleagues, but with little effect. Yan Huaiyi, unable to find a breakthrough, gradually became disheartened, planning to get by every day and muddle through until retirement.

Xu Chunliang walked through the gates of the Dongzhou Infectious Disease Hospital, and the first thing he saw was the slogan on the ward building: "Strive to build a Class III Grade A Infectious Disease Hospital," which implies that the hospital is not currently Class III Grade A. Xu Chunliang found a nurse to ask about the location of the administrative office building. Upon arriving at the administrative office building’s lobby, he saw the leadership team’s photo wall.

At the top was Secretary Sun Weimin, followed by Dean Yan Huaiyi. There were four vice-deans, all of whom were women except for Pan Junwei. They were Li Chunyan, Zhao Hongxia, and Tan Yue. The head of the discipline committee was also a woman named Yang Qinghong. There was also a chief accountant Lin Mingming in the team, which was different from other hospitals. However, Lin Mingming should be equivalent to a financial director, the hospital’s God of Wealth.

Xu Chunliang stood in front of the photo wall for a while, feeling that the leadership team was relatively young, mostly in their thirties and forties. Yan Huaiyi appeared older among the group, one reason being his age, and another important reason was his premature balding.

Xu Chunliang first went to the organization and personnel department to report. Section Chief Jiang Meiju was a short, plump woman in her fifties, sitting there with a somewhat serious expression. After hearing Xu Chunliang’s self-introduction, a slight smile appeared on her face, "You used to work at Changxing Hospital, I’ve heard of you."

Xu Chunliang thought to himself it surely wasn’t for a good reason, and smilingly said to Jiang Meiju, "I hope Section Chief Jiang can guide me in my work going forward."

Jiang Meiju said, "Let’s learn from each other." She stood up and led Xu Chunliang to the dean’s office.

When they arrived at the door, someone just came out from inside. It was the first vice-dean, Pan Junwei, who was obviously in a temper and slammed the door hard as he left.

Jiang Meiju called out, "Dean Pan," and Pan Junwei nodded with residual anger on his face. He glanced at Xu Chunliang, and Xu Chunliang smiled at him.

Pan Junwei also nodded as a form of greeting and then quickly left.

Jiang Meiju knocked on the door of the dean’s office, entered after receiving Yan Huaiyi’s permission.

There was still some lingering anger on Yan Huaiyi’s face, but seeing Xu Chunliang come in, his expression turned from anger to joy, and he stood up with a smile, "Xiaoxu is here!"

Xu Chunliang noticed that he wasn’t stuttering.

Jiang Meiju said, "Dean Yan, I’ve brought the person for you, you are old colleagues, so I won’t need to introduce him."

Yan Huaiyi nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

After Jiang Meiju left, Yan Huaiyi happily shook hands with Xu Chunliang, "Chunliang, on behalf of Dongzhou Infectious Disease Hospital, warmly... warmly welcome you." He didn’t say many words before starting to stutter again.

Xu Chunliang said, "Thank you, Dean Yan, for offering help in a time of need."

Yan Huaiyi laughed heartily, "It’s nothing, it’s nothing, please sit!" He invited Xu Chunliang to sit on the sofa, and personally made him a cup of tea.

Xu Chunliang said, "Dean Yan, I can do it myself."

Yan Huaiyi said, "Today you are... a guest, and also one of us, just sit."

Xu Chunliang accepted the cup of tea he handed over and thanked him. From the joy Yan Huaiyi showed at his arrival, it could be seen that Old Yan was not having a good time at the Infectious Disease Hospital, as evidenced by Pan Junwei’s action of slamming the door, showing that the vice-dean did not take Yan Huaiyi seriously.

Yan Huaiyi initially intended to appoint Xu Chunliang as the director of the hospital office, but the current director, Yang Yunfeng, is a person of Pan Junwei. Yan Huaiyi was just discussing the matter with Pan Junwei, and Pan Junwei was very determined, disagreeing with Yan Huaiyi’s personnel arrangement, insisting that Yang Yunfeng had always been very competent, and that there was no reason to replace him.

Yan Huaiyi was a little irritated, thinking that he, as the head, still needed the consent of a vice-dean to appoint an office director? He immediately said the matter was decided, but unexpectedly, Pan Junwei lost his temper on the spot and slammed the door.

Due to Pan Junwei’s hardline attitude, Yan Huaiyi had to proceed cautiously, beginning to worry about Pan Junwei’s backlash. After all, the vice-deans were united against him.

While chatting with Xu Chunliang, Secretary Sun Weimin called, as Pan Junwei had already reported the matter to Sun Weimin.

Sun Weimin was calling about this matter. Sun Weimin, as the secretary, was different from other hospitals, where the secretary generally didn’t interfere in the specific management and operation of the hospital. However, Sun Weimin extended his reach quite a bit, showing his presence from time to time. The vice-deans’ united front against Yan Huaiyi had an inseparable connection with Sun Weimin’s support.

Sun Weimin earnestly said, "Old Yan, I heard you want to make adjustments to the hospital office’s work. Shouldn’t this matter be considered carefully?"

Yan Huaiyi said, "Old Sun... Sun... Sun..."

Sun Weimin on the other end of the phone already began swearing, thinking, why the hell do you stutter early or late, but chose to stutter at this time, are you doing it on purpose?

Yan Huaiyi stumbled over the word "Sun" three times before getting it out: "The position of the director of the hospital office is very important. Based on my observations, although Yang Yunfeng is diligent and responsible...responsible...his abilities are still somewhat lacking...lacking."

Sun Weimin said, "Old Yan, if you think Yang Yunfeng isn’t suitable, who do you think is?"

Yan Huaiyi glanced at Xu Chunliang beside him: "The newcomer to our hospital, Xu Chunliang, is a suitable candidate." As he said this, he suddenly stopped stuttering.

Sun Weimin said, "Old Yan, Xu Chunliang is your former subordinate at Changxing, right? Aren’t you worried about what people will say if you use him?"

Yan Huaiyi said, "What’s there to be afraid of? In our positions, it’s impossible for people not to talk, and I’m very aware of Xu Chunliang’s abilities."

Sun Weimin laughed: "Old Yan, did you know he was laid off by the Cultural and Tourism Bureau?"

Yan Huaiyi said, "It’s a normal work adjustment."

Sun Weimin said, "I suggest being cautious. After all, he’s young, has little experience, and a low educational background. Putting him directly in such an important position is easy to cause discontent among the hospital staff, which won’t be beneficial to your leadership."

Yan Huaiyi sensed the threat in his words. He glanced at Xu Chunliang, seeing him quietly sipping tea. In fact, Xu Chunliang had already heard the conversation between Yan Huaiyi and Sun Weimin clearly. Xu Chunliang had mentally prepared for the difficulties and criticism he would face before coming here. Although he hadn’t been in Yan Huaiyi’s office for long, he already felt the pressure Yan Huaiyi was facing because of him. Of course, this was related to Yan Huaiyi’s inability to open up the situation since he took office.

Sun Weimin didn’t make his words too absolute and continued suggesting: "How about letting him serve as the deputy director of the hospital office, assistant to the dean, observing for a period before making other arrangements. What do you think?"

Yan Huaiyi wanted to make it happen in one step, but if he insisted, it would inevitably sour relations with the others. Sun Weimin is a smiling tiger, and he might soon incite others to come and challenge him. Yan Huaiyi decided to make a concession first: "That’s fine."

Hanging up the phone meant reaching consensus. Yan Huaiyi informed Xu Chunliang of his new job.

Xu Chunliang didn’t care; titles were just empty names. The official position didn’t necessarily have the final say, as evidenced by the situation with Yan Huaiyi.

Being new, Xu Chunliang couldn’t speak too deeply. He suggested starting at the hospital office.

Yan Huaiyi offered to accompany him, but Xu Chunliang declined his kindness, as doing so would make others think their relationship was extraordinary, leading to potential hostility from the start.

Yan Huaiyi called over Section Chief Jiang Meiju from the Personnel Department to accompany Xu Chunliang for a tour.

The hospital office and several hospital leaders’ offices were on the same floor, but closer to the stairwell. Most hospitals have this layout, and there’s a security checkpoint at the hospital office entrance to protect the leaders from unwanted disturbances.

In reality, not many people would harm hospital leaders, and most disruptions are related to medical disputes.

Jiang Meiju brought Xu Chunliang to the hospital office, but before they entered, they heard chatter inside. They were the office employees, and today, Director Yang Yunfeng was out at a meeting, so the staff let loose.

As Jiang Meiju entered, the three staff members stopped talking and hurriedly returned to their desks, pretending to be busy.

Jiang Meiju glanced at them and said grumpily: "Where’s Director Yang?"

"Out at a meeting," answered a woman with dyed yellow hair, Kang Yueqi, a senior in the hospital office second only to Yang Yunfeng.

Jiang Meiju briefly introduced Xu Chunliang to them before returning to work.

Once Jiang Meiju left, the atmosphere immediately livened up. Kang Yueqi said: "Director Xu, you’re so young."

Xu Chunliang replied with a smile: "Being new here, I’ll need everyone’s guidance."

The other two girls also came over to introduce themselves, the short one was Li Shuangshuang, and the tall one was Pan Yingying, the niece of Vice Dean Pan Junwei.

Anyone sitting in the office generally has some connections. Xu Chunliang realized that the female ratio at the Infectious Disease Hospital was truly high, feeling the women here could take over half the sky, possibly due to the preferences of the previous leadership.

Maybe because of Xu Chunliang’s pleasing appearance, the female colleagues’ first impression of him was good, showing enthusiasm akin to spring. They cleared out the best desk for Xu Chunliang to use, surrounded him with questions and exchanging contact info.
