Chapter 647 Neurosurgical Conference 2

Tao Tao really made the right choice in taking on these apprentices. Look, they know to stand up for their master when it matters.

They really went all out when it came to a problem, leaving Liu Hongbo speechless and making his face turn bright red like a monkey's bottom.

Before he could come up with a more effective countermeasure, and before even his students knew how to respond, Secretary Wu spoke up again.

“I’m asking you, you came here to complain that you specifically went to the family compound to ask Dr. Tao for yesterday’s surgery, but who made this trip instead? Step forward!”

The crowd looked at each other, and finally, under the threatening gazes of the director and deputy director, a female intern who had just graduated stood up.

"Report, it's me. I went to the family compound, but... I knocked on the door, but no one answered."

The female student blushed, appearing extremely nervous and uneasy. Faced with the leader's questions, she forced herself to answer.

"Okay, you say you went there, but who can prove you went? Did her neighbors hear you knocking on the door?"

"No, no, I was alone. I left when no one was around. No one saw me on the road."

Secretary Wu chuckled. "In other words, you can't find anyone to prove you were there, is that right?"

The female intern lowered her head and looked around at her colleagues for help, but unfortunately, she had already been abandoned by everyone the moment she stood up on her own.

When she realized that no one could vouch for her, she lowered her eyes in grievance, tears welling up in her eyes.

Upon seeing this, Tao Tao's student snorted coldly, "But my teacher has plenty of people who can prove that she was at home that day and did not go out."

Excuse me, whose door were you knocking on, and whose name were you calling out?

Since you haven't been notified, why are you spreading rumors that my teacher is hiding at home and deliberately not responding?

"Exactly, how could you be so mean? You're doctors, how can doctors say such irresponsible things?"

Which teacher taught us to use such hypocritical humanity to pin insults on others?

...

The situation on the scene caused both the dean and the secretary to fall into deep thought.

On one hand, they pushed their own students forward to take the fall.

On one hand, his own students stood up for him.

They were both teachers, but their outcomes were quite different.

Is it that the teachers have lost their bottom line, or that the students have lost their basic values?

If this continues, won't neurosurgery decline completely due to internal strife?

When you can't even sweep the snow in front of your own door properly, doesn't the hospital have to step in to solve the problem?

For the first time, those in leadership positions realized that moral integrity was the first step in the selection process, rather than a doctor's future achievements.

However, Liu Hongbo and his colleagues' dissatisfaction was not only directed at academics, but also extended to criticism of the evaluation and commendation system.

For example, the issue of housing.

"So many people in our hospital are waiting to be allocated housing. Even if it's based on seniority, it's unlikely that Tao Tao, who was parachuted in, will get a chance."

"That's right, why did Dr. Tao get a three-bedroom apartment as soon as he arrived?"

The logistics department is always complaining that there aren't enough houses to go around, so how come she got a big house as soon as she arrived?

"How many people are in her family? Don't they have a house in the military compound? Why are they competing with us?"

...

When all the pent-up complaints are brought to the forefront, you'll see how cunning the person stirring up trouble truly is.

They concentrated all the resentment on one point of attack, then reaped the benefits while waiting for the leader's explanation.

However, this is just the tip of the iceberg. They even brought up the various unfair treatments that Tao Tao had suffered since joining the company.

This includes issues such as platforms for submitting papers to external organizations, unfair hospital recommendations, and inconsistent funding allocations for the same research group.

They felt targeted and that everyone else was their own child, while they were the only ones being treated like stepchildren.

After all their emotions had been unleashed, the expressions on the faces of the Party Secretary and the Dean were beyond just ugly.

They sighed, took out a set of financial approval documents, and let them pass it around for them to read.

“This information shouldn’t have been in this setting, but your resentment runs so deep that we have to do something to quell this unfounded accusation.”

As you can see, from beginning to end, Vice President Tao never received any support or approval from the hospital's special fund.

She did submit an application, but the funding, like yours, has been delayed.

A while ago, someone received a prize of 10,000 yuan, but instead of keeping it for themselves, they used it all for their research project.

If you don't believe me, ask them yourselves.

When everyone looked at Tao Tao's students, their eyes were already red, showing how much unfair treatment they had suffered on a daily basis.

"Our teacher is the best person in the world. She always subsidizes our research group out of her own pocket."

She helped us when some of our students came from impoverished families by donating money and goods, and even gave us a lot of extracurricular materials.

These materials are all unavailable on the market, and some are even original foreign language books. They are all rare and precious materials that are hard to come by.

From beginning to end, we didn't take a single penny from the hospital; even all the equipment and materials in the lab were found by her.

"How is that possible? How much does she earn in a month? Where did she get so much money? That's even more suspicious."

"Exactly, can't you think before you spout nonsense? If she paid for all this money herself, where did it come from?"

"Shouldn't our hospital conduct a thorough investigation into her? Otherwise, where did she get all this money? Doesn't her family eat or drink?"

"Speaking of home, who has ever been to Dr. Tao's house? It's decorated like a capitalist's house. I just stood outside the door and took one look, and I felt that it was unattainable."

...

When everyone voiced their dissatisfaction with Tao Tao, the meeting had completely lost its purpose.

While Secretary Wu and his colleagues were disappointed, they did not forget to clarify all their doubts about Tao Tao.

"Sometimes you really are hopeless when it comes to being stupid."

Why is she considered an expert, and why does she enjoy the待遇 (treatment/benefits) of a vice president upon returning to China? Why hasn't anyone considered this?

"If it weren't for some of the files being top secret, you would regret all your attacks on her today."

Let me tell you, it's a fact that Dr. Tao is wealthy. All her assets are registered with the organization, and they are perfectly legal.

If you don't believe me, feel free to sue me and see if you can win!

As for a three-bedroom, one-living-room house, that's something they deserve for their achievements.

It was given by the state. If you have any objections, you can report it to higher authorities. We will absolutely support you wholeheartedly.

Finally, let me clarify one more point: all your questions can be reported to higher authorities.

You don't have to trust us, but you have to trust the organization, right?

Vice Dean Tao has a clear conscience, and so do we. Since some people have changed their minds and turned today's meeting into a personal attack session.

There's no need to continue. Alright, meeting adjourned!

Secretary Wu's final words stunned everyone present.

"Since the meeting couldn't reach a decision on the punishment of Liu Hongbo and Wang Zhijun, we'll report it directly to the organization."

It's perfectly appropriate for the organization to decide their fate; it saves you lot from your incessant chatter and self-importance!
