Chapter 341 -341: Transfer Orders
“Dean Zhang, you wanted to see me?”
Bai Xiao had rushed over as soon as she received the call from Dean Zhang.
With June already upon them, Bai Xiao had thought that Dean Zhang wanted to discuss her forthcoming training program. 𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝒎
“Have a seat!” Dean Zhang’s expression looked uneasy, his gaze avoiding direct eye contact with hers, evasive!
Something must have happened, right?
Bai Xiao’s intuition told her that this matter was definitely related to her.
“Dean Zhang, why did you call me here today?”
In her lifetime, there were hardly any situations that could make her panic. Facing any hardship, she could likely remain unflustered.
Dean Zhang hesitated for a moment.
“Doctor Bai, as a dean, I originally disagreed with this decision, but, it’s the higher-ups’ directive. As a dean, I cannot let personal feelings interfere with national interests. I’m sorry!”
His words signified a major issue.
“Dean Zhang, just tell me what it is. No issue is too big to handle.”
Dean Zhang glanced at Bai Xiao and handed her an order of transfer.
“Originally, I had arranged for you to report to Medical University in September for a two-year training program. I hoped not to waste your qualifications as a college graduate. After graduating from Medical University and working in the hospital for a while, you being promoted to attending physician was virtually assured. However, plans cannot keep up with changes.
The higher authorities are now assigning you to a medical unit in a border province, I…”
Dean Zhang choked up. Bai Xiao was only nineteen years old. She was neither a surgery doctor nor an internal medicine doctor. An acupuncture doctor going to a medical unit, especially in a frontline area where frictions occur frequently and the danger level is life-threatening, was utterly nonsensical.
But this was an order from above, a command more important than anything else. She was a dean of a hospital! Moreover, a leader, and obeying orders was the duty of everyone like them, even if she knew there were issues involved. But she could only do the job she was supposed to do.
Personal emotions could not affect collective work.
“Dean Zhang, I am glad to have the opportunity to work at the frontline. Rest assured, I will obey the command!” Bai Xiao understood that this was a transfer out of this place.
Moreover, the place mentioned in the transfer order, frankly speaking, was indeed the frontline – just not under heavy gunfire. However, it definitely could not be considered safe.
“Bai Xiao! You!” Dean Zhang was frustrated yet amused.
“Do you even know where you are being sent? Do you realize how dangerous it is there? Frankly, you have not undergone systematic training, and even if you were given a weapon now, you probably wouldn’t be able to aim properly. Do you understand what it means to go there?” This young girl mustn’t think it’s merely a change of workplace.
“Dean, I know what that place is. But even though I know, I am now a doctor, and obeying orders is my sacred duty. Once there, perhaps I can save more lives and help more people, albeit in a place far more dangerous than here. If I don’t go, someone else will.
Besides, I think this transfer order is a command, not a consultation with me. Neither you nor I have the right to refuse. So, why should we still be troubled by this?”
Bai Xiao was at peace with the situation, already imagining who had maneuvered behind the scenes for this transfer order.
Given Dean Zhang’s care for her, it was certainly not possible for any hospital-level adjustment. She thought that the most likely person responsible for this situation was Wei Shufen.
The Chief’s wife could easily manipulate the transfer of such a minor doctor, couldn’t she?
