Chapter 250: Suddenly, Thunder Strikes Out of Nowhere!
After finishing the consultation with Sun Xinxin's mother's old friend, Zhao Heng saw that he had also completed the medical record, and since there were no patients, he began working on the software matters.
Speaking of the software, the frequency modulation software for the pacemaker was almost done at Sino Company's engineer Liu's side. As long as Zhao Heng continued to supplement clinical data, it could be perfected and optimized.
The main focus, however, was reaching an agreement with Wang Yaoqing to continue developing the anesthesia assistant, which required establishing numerous data models.
This was a very complex and long-term process because each drug had a corresponding metabolic model in the human body. These drug models also included the effects of the drugs on various bodily systems and involved different physical indicators.
After working on it for a while, Tian Zhen walked in and said to Zhao Heng, "Dr. Zhao, the director wants you to go to the large conference room on the sixth floor of the hospital administration building."
"The large conference room? At this time? There wouldn't be a meeting at this hour, right?"
Zhao Heng looked at the time, it was already three in the afternoon, and he asked with some confusion.
"Dr. Zhao, don't you know?"
Seeing Zhao Heng's puzzled face, Tian Zhen couldn't help but ask.
"Know what?"
Zhao Heng was baffled by Tian Zhen's question.
"The dean was taken away at noon."
Tian Zhen delivered a blockbuster explosive news.
"Huh? Taken away?"
Zhao Heng looked dumbfounded; such a big thing happened in the hospital, and he didn't know a thing.
"I just found out, too. I heard it was done quietly without alarming anyone. Only when Dean Liu announced an emergency meeting did the news start spreading."
Tian Zhen continued.
"Which Dean Liu?"
Zhao Heng was even more confused. He knew the hospital dean and had heard of the vice dean, but this Dean Liu seemed unfamiliar.
"Director Liu Shangming from the Oncology Department. He has always been the executive vice dean but used to avoid getting involved because he didn't get along with the previous dean. In such a tense situation now, only Director Liu can hold the fort."
Tian Zhen explained further. Having been in the hospital longer, she knew more about these inside stories than Zhao Heng.
"Director Liu... Okay, I got it. I'll go right away."
Zhao Heng nodded.
These series of news truly shocked him. In such a big hospital, anything happening would be utterly unexpected.
Soon, Zhao Heng arrived at the large conference room, where people from all departments were seated. As Zhao Heng entered, he immediately saw Gao Jun and naturally went up to sit beside him.
Just as he sat down, Gao Jun said, "Xiao Zhao, you heard about it, right?"
"Yeah, just heard about it."
Zhao Heng nodded.
"This time Yin Lifeng was exposed by his mistress, otherwise it wouldn't have been this fast."
Gao Jun revealed much information as he spoke.
The news that Dean Yin Lifeng was in trouble had been known by Gao Jun for a long time, but he didn't expect it would come so soon and unexpectedly.
The trouble came from Dean Yin Lifeng's mistress.
"Since she's the mistress, exposing him wouldn't benefit her?"
Zhao Heng couldn't help but ask.
"It's not that simple. The mistress got together with Yin Lifeng's nephew, Yin Jian, who was Yin Lifeng's scapegoat. After Yin Jian found out, the two of them decided to report him."
Gao Jun sighed as he recounted a series of love-hate relationships.
Gao Jun was ready for a fight against the dean, but the situation now had a dramatic sense of him falling without a push.
Life changes indeed happen beyond any planning.
Such unpredictable life, intestines within intestines.
This uncle-nephew matter truly is something. The uncle used his nephew as a pawn and scapegoat, and the nephew retaliated by getting involved with the uncle's mistress and reporting him.
This whole drama could make for a soap opera.
"Uh... Getting involved with the uncle's mistress... quite a unique taste..."
Hearing this, Zhao Heng didn't know how to feel. At least it seemed like birds of a feather flock together.
Soon, all the main department heads gathered, and Liu Shangming stepped onto the stage to begin his speech.
Liu Shangming looked rather joyful, but in front of such a public and important audience of hospital department leaders, he had to restrain himself.
"Colleagues, this is a special time. This incident is a major blow to Eastern Hospital. Because of this blow, the hospital now is in turmoil, with different stories flying around outside. Some say our hospital is infested with bad actors, others say it's almost over. But here, I want to say that although a few bad apples disrupted the peace of our hospital, now that the tumor has been removed, I believe everyone still diligently working is dedicated. So please don't be affected by this; carry on with your work. This storm will soon settle."
Liu Shangming spoke frankly, with no bureaucratic parlance, describing Yin Lifeng as a bad apple, a tumor, quite directly.
This was aligned with Liu Shangming's well-known intolerance for nonsense.
At this critical moment, when assigned to speak and stabilize morale, Liu Shangming as the executive vice dean suggested his likely future role in running the hospital.
With this thought, department staff, having various feelings, knew those usually close to Director Liu were privately delighted at his impending promotion, while those with lesser ties thought of establishing connections.
"Didn't expect old Liu to take the position."
Seated next to Zhao Heng, Gao Jun showed a somewhat nostalgic expression.
Liu Shangming was on decent terms with him, making Liu Shangming's promotion quite favorable for Gao Jun's faction.
"It is a bit of a surprise."
Zhao Heng nodded, his eyes unintentionally finding Li Haiyang seated not far away, his face full of puzzlement, ignoring the envious glances from those around.
Clearly backed the right person!
These thoughts about Li Haiyang ran through everyone's mind at that moment.
Especially the young doctors, all eager to be in his position.
Soon, this brief reassuring meeting ended.
Once Liu Shangming stepped off the stage, he was immediately surrounded, as his promotion to dean was a done deal. If this wasn't the time to curry favor and choose sides, then when?
Even around Li Haiyang, there were several who were intentionally or unintentionally probing for information.
You see, no matter the profession, people tend to act similarly in such situations.
Zhao Heng originally wanted to chat briefly with Li Haiyang to see how he felt, but seeing him surrounded, he decided against it.
Only offering a sympathetic yet congratulatory look toward the also-looking Li Haiyang, he smiled, following Gao Jun out of the meeting room.
