Chapter 39: Losing the Competition

Since discovering Zhao Xiaoyan's extramarital affair with a successful business CEO, Lu Xiaojing has almost doubted her life, because in her mind, Zhao Xiaoyan has a high degree of education, strong independence, and cannot be said to be innocent, but she is also cold and arrogant, how can she have an extramarital affair with a man who is almost 20 years older than herself?

For money? Zhao Xiaoyan's family is well-off, and her husband is the technical backbone of a state-owned enterprise, which is impossible; For true love? Lu Xiaojing has always been indifferent to the love between men and women, how can she have true love with an old man. So for what? Lu Xiaojing was puzzled.

Although this incident surprised Lu Xiaojing and even made her angry, she kept it strictly secret, and she didn't tell the second person except that He Mengying witnessed it with her at the time. In the following days, in addition to Lu Xiaojing's step-by-step work, she also paid attention to her child's upcoming high school entrance examination, and Lu Xiaojing lived a fulfilling life with both work and life.

One morning, after work, there was no specific duty on this day, it was a state of listening, Lu Xiaojing was learning some knowledge on his computer, at this time Xiao Liu, the clerk of the medical department, knocked on the door and came in, she handed Lu Xiaojing a paper notice, and said, "Director Lu, you look at this notice, report it before getting off work tomorrow", and then Xiao Liu went out.

Lu Xiaojing saw that it was an urgent notice on the submission of discipline leaders by various departments, and the notice required that the applicant should be under the age of 40, with a bachelor's degree or above, and a master's degree or above is preferred.

Lu Xiaojing looked at the relevant requirements and felt that only herself and Zhao Xiaoyan were eligible in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Zhao Xiaoyan still had a master's degree, but the notice required each department to report at most one person, and Lu Xiaojing felt a little embarrassed. It turned out that he and Zhao Xiaoyan competed for the director of the department, and with the help of Dong Zhentang, he got his wish, and the selection of key discipline leaders is also very important for doctors.

Lu Xiaojing thought about it, she was going to give Zhao Xiaoyan the opportunity to apply for it and even be selected, so she picked up the phone and dialed the phone number of Section Chief Xu of the Medical Department, and after the phone rang a few times, Section Chief Xu's voice came from there, "Hello, Director Lu, do you have any advice?" ”。

Section Chief Xu and Lu Xiaojing are also old colleagues for many years, he is thoughtful, capable and capable, and has won the respect of Dean Zhou, Lu Xiaojing also admires him very much, as soon as he heard Section Chief Xu ask him what advice he has, Lu Xiaojing hurriedly smiled and said, "Section Chief Xu, where is this, I have something to ask you for advice", Section Chief Xu laughed twice on the phone, and said, "I can't talk about advice, what do you say!" ”。

Lu Xiaojing said, "Section Chief Xu, I just saw the notice you sent about the declaration of discipline leaders, I read that the notice said that each department can only declare one person, but in addition to me, Director Zhao Xiaoyan also meets the requirements of our department, and she is also a graduate degree, so do you think our department can report two people?" ”。

Section Chief Xu listened to Lu Xiaojing's statement, and said seriously on the phone, "Director Lu, the number of places given in the city for the declaration of discipline leaders this time is limited, according to the spirit of the dean's office meeting, the best of the best must be selected, even if each department reports one, in the end, only about one-third can be evaluated, so the requirement of declaring one cannot be changed!" ”。

Lu Xiaojing listened, "Ao", and said, "So that's the case, since that's the case, then our department can only submit one?" Section Chief Xu paused slightly on the phone and continued, "Director Lu, there is another matter, that is, the person submitted by your section, Dean Zhou, has been specially instructed, and he wants you to report to Director Zhao Xiaoyan."

Lu Xiaojing heard a sound in her head, and asked ungroundedly, "Why?" At this time, Section Chief Xu's tone on the phone became polite, and he continued, "Director Lu, we all know that you are very good in both business and management, but the preferred condition for this declaration is academic qualifications, and only Zhao Xiaoyan in your department has a master's degree, so Dean Zhou made such instructions."

The more Lu Xiaojing listened, the more angry she became, and she asked a little excitedly, "Is it true that other departments also report like this, if you don't have a master's degree or a doctorate, you can't declare?" Section Chief Xu said a little embarrassedly on the phone, "Director Lu, don't get excited, this is also a mandatory requirement for this declaration, that is, academic qualifications are preferred, I hope you can understand-."

Section Chief Xu's words Lu Xiaojing basically didn't hear clearly, her head was blank at this time, she didn't expect that she would be defeated by Zhao Xiaoyan so quickly, just now she was still pitying Zhao Xiaoyan, but at this time she had become Zhao Xiaoyan's subordinate defeated, and the moment she should be pitied became herself, Lu Xiaojing smiled bitterly and hung up Section Chief Xu's phone.

Lu Xiaojing sat in her seat in a daze, she suddenly had a feeling of frustration, she didn't understand that as the director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, she had been conscientious for several years, not only cured many difficult and miscellaneous diseases, but also increased the benefits year by year.

The more Lu Xiaojing thought about it, the more unconvinced she became, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, so she picked up her mobile phone and called Dong Zhentang again, and then Dong Zhentang also connected the phone, and he asked on the other side of the phone, "Is there anything, Xiaojing?" Lu Xiaojing said angrily, "Why didn't you let me apply for the discipline leader this time?" ”。

Hearing Lu Xiaojing's angry questioning, Dong Zhentang hurriedly said on the phone, "Xiaojing, don't worry, this morning's special meeting was dedicated to the declaration issue, Dean Zhou specifically talked about the declaration of obstetrics and gynecology at the meeting, and he asked Zhao Xiaoyan to report by name. I said that this is unreasonable and not enough to convince the public, but in the end, President Zhou said that the city leaders also value and appreciate Comrade Zhao Xiaoyan very much, and criticized me for not seeking truth from facts and protecting some people! ”。

Then, Dong Zhentang sighed on the phone and continued, "Xiaojing, I know that you are very good and you are also very motivated, but this time I couldn't help you, I feel very guilty-."

Lu Xiaojing, who was originally resentful, became calm when she heard what Dong Zhentang said, but at this time she felt embarrassed because Dong Zhentang was criticized, so she said, "Well, I just heard the news and didn't understand it, in fact, there is no need to deliberately fight for something, it's not bad to let it naturally settle down!" ”。

Dong Zhentang asked with some surprise, "Xiaojing, do you really think so?" Lu Xiaojing replied, "Now that I suddenly have such an idea, there is no need to be too tired, just do what you have to do." Dong Zhentang listened and said appreciatively, "Well, Xiaojing, you are really mature, some things are just to do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, I really hope that this matter will not have a negative impact on you, and I also hope that you can move forward calmly, no matter what setbacks and successes you encounter, you can face them calmlyβ€”β€”"

Lu Xiaojing could hear Dong Zhentang's full concern for herself, and her heart was also full of gratitude, she said, "Don't worry, I just heard the news a little unbearable, but now I feel like I want to open it, let it be, and honor and success always have to be shared!" ”。

On the phone, Lu Xiaojing and Dong Zhentang chatted for a long time, and she also absorbed a lot of thoughts and realms from Dong Zhentang's words, and unconsciously the decadence and loss just now were also swept away.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Xiaojing got up from her seat, stretched, and felt much more relaxed, she picked up the notice on the table and walked directly to Zhao Xiaoyan's office-

She pushed open the door of Zhao Xiaoyan's office, and saw that Zhao Xiaoyan was looking at the computer intently, she stepped forward and handed the notice to Zhao Xiaoyan, Zhao Xiaoyan saw that Lu Xiaojing had come in, quickly stood up, called "Sister Lu", and took the notice.

Lu Xiaojing said calmly but cordially, "Xiaoyan, this time the institute has declared a discipline leader, we will report to you, you can prepare some information, and report it as soon as possible!" ”。 Zhao Xiaoyan took the notice and browsed it, then raised his head and said, "Sister Lu, report you!" ”。

Lu Xiaojing looked at Zhao Xiaoyan and said, "This time it is mainly based on academic qualifications, our department has the highest academic qualifications, and the number of places is limited, so only you are eligible-", Zhao Xiaoyan looked at Lu Xiaojing's calm appearance, and he looked a little embarrassed!

Her handsome face became a little red, she looked at Lu Xiaojing's face, and said with some gratitude, "Sister Lu, it stands to reason that this declaration should be you, but-", Lu Xiaojing looked at Zhao Xiaoyan's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, she already understood this matter Zhao Xiaoyan already knew.

If it were according to the past, Lu Xiaojing might not give her a good face immediately, but this time Lu Xiaojing became very calm, she looked at the woman in front of her, with a delicate face, exquisite figure, and outstanding temperament, she couldn't help but feel sorry for each other, she took Zhao Xiaoyan's hand and said sincerely, "Xiaoyan, don't say anything, we are all women, women will not be difficult for women, you are very good, this is also an opportunity to show your excellence, I congratulate you!" ”。。

Zhao Xiaoyan also held Lu Xiaojing's hand, his eyes seemed to be full of tears, and he said, "Thank you, Sister Lu-."
