Prof. Tan's parachuted arrival to the Trauma Orthopedics department was akin to a stone being thrown into a placid lake; it was bound to cause ripples.
Naturally, the most significant reactions came from Directors Ouyang, Bai, and Ding. On the surface, they remained calm, but they were certainly feeling all kinds of dissatisfaction and discontent inside. After over ten years of hard work developing the Trauma Orthopedics department into a strong entity, they were now expected to hand it over to an outsider. It was a hard pill to swallow.
Fortunately, Director Han possessed a strong commanding presence. Given his position as the department head, no one dared to start any conflicts or create any significant disturbances.
The tranquil weekend then passed.
On Monday morning, Deans Xia and Sun, as well as Director Zhao of the medical department, made their appearance at the Trauma Orthopedics department.
