Chapter 1221: Chapter 1221: The Phone Call That Interrupted the Meeting
The upcoming competitions won’t be their turn.
The entire morning has already passed.
Those who ranked will naturally stay for further competitions.
Today, their ranking is impossible, so Bai Xiao leads the team back to rest. It’s not just them! Many teams with lower rankings are leaving one after another.
The team, which started off a bit gloomy, mainly facing the tension and worries of the semifinals, now completely dissipated.
Each face blossomed with a smile.
Now, they have secured a first place.
Even if the semifinals results are not ideal, it’s enough for them to be proud for a long time.
This is the first time the China Delegation shone brightly at the exchange meet.
They now have a first place.
Even if it’s only in this theoretical exam! It’s enough to boast for a long time.
At this moment, the supervisory leader of the China Delegation, Ren Min, also received a call.
Putting down the phone, Ren Min didn’t move for a long time, leaving Lao Xie and Lao Xiao puzzled.
What’s this expression.
Bai Xiao and the others went to compete.
Based on the timing, they haven’t started yet, but Ren Min’s expression seemed sorrowful yet joyful, about to cry but not, about to laugh but not.
What’s this expression?
"Old Ren? Old Ren?"
Ren Min snapped back to reality, as if he had spaced out.
He picked up the cigarette box on the table, his hand trembled, and it fell onto the table.
Lao Xie took out a cigarette from the box and handed it to him.
"What’s wrong with you? Is something happening at home? Share with us, maybe we can help you come up with a solution."
Ren Min took the cigarette, then frantically looked for a lighter, searched for a long time but didn’t find it.
"No, it’s nothing!"
Lao Xiao picked up the lighter, which was right under Ren’s nose, and lit the cigarette for him.
"Still nothing happened? Just look at yourself, the lighter is right under your nose, and you can’t even see it. What’s the point of fooling us?"
Ren Min took a deep drag and blew out several large smoke rings.
Another puff, another smoke ring.
Halfway through the cigarette, he finally calmed down.
"This time the semifinals added an entry test, and Bai Xiao from the China Team has taken first place."
Snap.
The lighter fell onto the table, and the cigarette in his hand also fell.
Ren Min laughed, letting them mock him earlier! How is it now?
"What now? Surprised, unexpected, thrilling?"
Deeply inhaling a puff of smoke.
Lao Xie bent down to pick up the cigarette.
Lao Xiao picked up the lighter, a non-smoker, surprisingly lit a cigarette.
The consequence of a deep inhalation is.
Cough cough.
Cough cough cough... cough cough.
Lao Xie patted his back while wiping his eyes.
"Look at yourself, Lao Xiao, what do you look like."
Still chastising Lao Xiao.
After coughing breathlessly, Lao Xiao shoved Lao Xie aside.
"Oh, give me a break, you say I cough, but you’re the one tearing up. Look at you, a grown man, crying like this, what do you look like."
Not thinking he didn’t see.
"I was crying tears of joy, don’t you understand!"
Ren Min gleefully watched the scene unfold, letting them laugh at him earlier.
Now finally, karma catches up.
"Team Leader, what exactly happened? Tell us quickly."
Both were anxiously impatient.
They personally sent them off this morning, only to wait for news without any and now they’re shocked.
"The semifinals included an entry test, two-hour theoretical multiple-choice questions, Bai Xiao scored a perfect two thousand points, landing first place. First place, indeed!"
They never dreamed of obtaining first place.
For group matches, preliminaries, or semifinals, their best hope was to make it into the top twenty.
What’s happening now.
"Really, a perfect score?"
It feels like dreaming.
What does a perfect score mean.
"Perfect score indeed! Don’t believe it? Open the computer screen, the results are already transmitted."
The trio, with a combined age nearing one hundred fifty, crowded around the computer fiddling with it.
Looking at the scores shown, Lao Xiao gritted his teeth, "Old Ren, this is a major affair! Such a doctor Bai is a talent! We must swiftly report to the leadership and promptly implement rewards.
I see those folks harboring no good intentions."
Seeing this, all three couldn’t help but think of poaching talents.
Such talent, don’t these talent-desperate countries seem to pounce like hungry wolves.
When they throw money to dig a hole.
Who knows, their crop of carrots might be gone from their pit.
Ren Min nodded, picked up the phone, "Indeed! For an outstanding talent like Bai Xiao! An excellent talent bringing glory to the country, we must provide reasonable rewards and honors. Cannot chill the heart of talent."
Swift action is key.
Lao Xiao and Lao Xie also headed out, where were they going?
No need to ask.
Calling to notify the director of the Health Department, this is about bringing glory to the country.
Although Bai Xiao isn’t a resource of Capital Hospital, it’s not impossible to give Capital General Hospital a heads-up! How to recruit such talent is their issue.
The call was made.
Yu Shaohua was in a meeting, watching the competition over there, they are discussing this time’s health sector policy strategy, expanding talent acquisition, increasing welfare benefits of favorable conditions.
This exchange meet is also an opportunity to recruit talent! Major hospitals are gearing up.
As the higher department, they should also present an attitude.
Then the secretary interrupted their meeting, knocked, and entered.
"Xiaozhang, wasn’t it said not to disturb the meeting?"
Yu Shaohua was displeased, what’s this about.
But also knowing it wouldn’t be small matters that Xiaozhang would barge in without discretion.
"Director, a call from Team Leader Ren has been patched into the meeting room."
She dared not ignore it, Ren Min seemed about to devour her, such a cordial person, upon hearing she said to wait until the director finishes the meeting, he was almost yelling.
Poor Xiaozhang had no idea what big issue had arisen, she asked Ren Min but he wouldn’t say.
Besides, Ren Min and she aren’t on the same level, she as a secretary can’t overstep her authority to handle these matters.
Yu Shaohua hearing this suddenly realized it must be something from the competition.
Picked up the phone.
Everyone focused.
Who doesn’t know Ren Min is now in charge of the exchange meet’s competition, China Delegation is participating in the semifinals today, and their meeting certainly couldn’t be more crucial than this competition.
"Old Ren, what’s up?"
Yu Shaohua’s friendly expression changed colors upon silently listening to a few words.
Several felt Yu Shaohua’s face was a flush of red, at times turned pale, sometimes solemn, other times smiling wide.
What does it all mean?
"Alright, alright, Old Ren your proposal is good, it’s also a great opportunity, perhaps this time we can make a big move.
Yes, yes, you’re absolutely right, your insight is precise, this call is perfectly timed, great! We’re in a meeting now, just right to explore solutions, rest assured, Doctor Bai’s situation, I guarantee nobody will think of swaying her.
I dare not speak for others, but I know Bai Xiao, she is a doctor with a strong sense of national honor, especially with her participation in the frontline battles, she absolutely won’t be swayed by interests.
Moreover, I will work on her as well."
