51.Welcome, Doctor Ye

"Ladies and gentlemen, quiet down please!"

Seeing that almost everyone from the department had gathered, Wang Yanchao stood up.

As Wang Yanchao's voice fell, the murmurs in the hall quieted down, and all eyes turned to him.

"Colleagues, most of us are here, and it's about time. I'm sure everyone's getting hungry too. I won't waste much time with words. Before we start the feast, let me once again introduce our protagonist for today, Dr. Ye Xiu, a young and promising elite returnee. Let's warmly welcome him to our department, shall we?"

With Wang Yanchao's words, applause erupted in the room.

"Thank you! Thank you, everyone!"

Feeling the gaze of everyone in the room and hearing the thunderous applause, Ye Xiu stood up and bowed to express his gratitude.

Originally, Wang Yanchao insisted on Ye Xiu being the center of attention and taking the main seat. However, Ye Xiu declined. Regardless, he ended up sitting to the right of Wang Yanchao, with Deputy Director Huang Maoqing on his left.

Seeing Ye Xiu receiving all the attention and applause, a hint of envy flashed in Zheng Wenbo's eyes. However, he quickly concealed it with a cold smile.

"Before we start the feast, let's hear a few words from Dr. Ye, shall we?"

"Good!"

Once again, applause filled the room.

"Thank you, thank you, everyone! Thank you, Director Wang, for allowing me to join the Respiratory Department family. I'm honored and happy to work with everyone. I am young and inexperienced, with limited knowledge and experience. There's much to learn from all of you, and I hope for your guidance in the future."

Amidst the applause, Ye Xiu's face showed sincere gratitude and emotion.

Humph, he actually knows his place!

Zheng Wenbo sneered inwardly, his eyes fixed on Ye Xiu. He wanted to see if Ye Xiu had anything substantial to say besides the usual pleasantries.

In the room, everyone, including Wang Yanchao and Huang Maoqing, looked at Ye Xiu with anticipation. They knew his initial remarks were standard, but what came next would be the real content.

"I won't say much more. Let's enjoy the meal tonight!"

Feeling the atmosphere, Ye Xiu decided to keep it brief. Besides, he wasn't one to enjoy speaking unnecessarily. Actions spoke louder than words, after all.

That's it?

Humph, Ye Xiu's level is just like that?

In Zheng Wenbo's eyes, a scornful expression flashed.

However, Wang Yanchao and Huang Maoqing, who knew Ye Xiu better, were the first to applaud, followed by enthusiastic applause from the rest of the doctors in the room. They all realized that Ye Xiu's brief speech meant they could finally start the meal.

As for Ye Xiu's level, it didn't matter to them at this moment. In fact, the shorter his speech, the better for their hungry stomachs.

Zheng Wenbo also clapped along, but inwardly, he was already plotting his next move. Ye Xiu's time in the limelight was limited, and soon it would be his turn to shine.
