TEAM OF WELLBEING 4

Two previous cases showed that the selection process was totally not easy. They could disagree with each other. In general, it was Zhu Su and Li Heng who often differed in opinions, while Guo Songmi, due to his status as a disciple, then chose to abstain and acted neutral. Aside from the above incident, they still differed in opinion on other matters. Another example, there was a woman in her thirties who had a high passion for medicine because her child died from an epidemic, but she tended to be panicked and frightened easily. Li Heng immediately crossed out her name since he saw her as a fragile woman and would instead burden their work efficiency, but Zhu Su chose her because he saw the woman was sincere with her words - very passionate with medical science. And more example. A very confident beautiful girl in her mid-twenties. She could answer Li Heng's question steadily and graciously, yet on the other hand, she often looked at Zhu Su with an unnatural glance, which should not have been shown during the selection.

"Actually I'm not coming from Yunnan village, my Lord." The girl smiled sweetly. "I have learned so many things since I have often traveled from place to place. You may be sure, I will be able to help you... and please you."

Then, she winked meaningfully. Zhu Su was startled.

"Where have you wandered, anyway?" This time Guo Songmi opened his mouth, asking.

"Lots of places. Hmm... you could say I've traveled around Ming. Also, I don't meet just with the lower classes, I've often had meetings with rich people, and even with the aristocrats."

"Err... Miss... we'll have a lot of business more with lower classes, hence we will get away from pleasure. Have you prepared mentally?" Zhu Su asked.

"You get my point, Your Highness, I know a lot of knowledge that only the nobles know. And it's not the type of general knowledge, you know... This can be a beneficial asset for you by accepting me, right?"

Li Heng asked, "Thence, can you show your "aristocrat skill" ?"

"As you please." The girl said firmly. Then she read a high-class poem that Zhu Su used to hear... perfectly. The poem indeed could only be read by a noble lady.

"Awesome..." Zhu Su muttered unwittingly.

"Many thanks for your appreciation." The girl smiled very lovelily.

"But, back to the topic, what is your motivation by signing on with our team?" For some reason, Zhu Su sensed a strange feeling. Instead of showing her skill in medicine, she demonstrated her skill in poetry. As if her goal was not for medical matters...

"I want to be the Prince's attendant!" The girl answered, very firmly.

This time Zhu Su was really shocked. "W... what?!?"

"Well, since I watched your awesome bravery in challenging the Dali rebels, I fall in awe of you at once. I want to follow you! Please trust me, I won't make you disappointed. I can dance, sing, and read poems to please you."

The atmosphere was now awfully quiet. Meanwhile, the girl continued to display her self-confidence, and her lips always kept smiling.

Li Heng laughed. "Hahaha! Miss, you are so courageous! But you should express it to the Prince personally, and not in this place."

"If not here, then I'll have no chance to express my wish to the Prince..." The girl answered in a voice mixed in pity and pampering.

Zhu Su himself, still kept his mouth shut. The atmosphere returned to silence for the second time.

Realizing the atmosphere turned awkward, Li Heng sent the girl out of the room. He then asked Zhu Su, "Your Highness, what do you think? Do you want to accept her?"

When answering, Zhu Su found his voice sounded awkward and awry. "Ho... how come! What's actually on her mind about this team? There's no reason to accept her!"

"But Your Highness, admiration has been proven to be the most powerful strength to solve even the most difficult problems. The girl admires you, she will definitely help you till the end and be able to ignore all the difficulties she'll deal with." Assuming that Zhu Su was actually attracted to the girl yet felt embarrassed to admit publicly, Li Heng deliberately said so.

Guo Songmi chimed, he smiled with amusement. "She is quite lovely, anyway. Our team can be a little jollier with her presence, can't it?..."

"I don't want to ruin the professionalism of our team with her presence. This is a medical team, not the team for fun." Without doubt, Zhu Su crossed out the girl's name. "And I'm looking for a medical team member, not looking for a dancing girl!"

Thus, debate after debate went on as the selection continued. Usually, Li Heng chose more based on the candidate's skills and attitude, while Zhu Su focused on the candidate's passion. More precisely to say, Li Heng paid attention to realism while Zhu Su paid attention to idealism. It was the differences of opinion which ultimately made a big difference in their candidate list. In the end, almost 90 percent of their choices were different.

"Your Highness, please make decisions based on the way they will work later. We want the team to work - so they should have good professionalism at work. Only passion is not enough, it must be supported by competence too." That was Li Heng's opinion.

"But according to Fu Huang, loyalty and sincerity are the most important factors in choosing team members. We don't merely need a skillful team. Even though our team is skillful, but if it is perishable, then will it give us a good result? We need a team that can survive in joy and sorrow. As long as they have passion, even though they are dabblers, but I believe they will eventually turn to be professional, maybe even more competent than those who seem skillful right now."

Because Zhu Su had involved the emperor, this time Li Heng could not argue anymore even though he really wanted to. He was forced to approve Zhu Su's opinion. "Well then... if it is your wish... I will obey your command... Please use your chosen team."

"Really, Physician Li?" Zhu Su asked happily.

Li Heng nodded. And Zhu Su, who did not understand the true meaning of his nod, now appeared cheerful as his wish had been fulfilled. Zhu Su did not know, the reason why Li Heng nodded was not because he agreed with Zhu Su. But because of stumbling with status problem.

This disagreement thus led to the problems occurring soon.
