As Wu Tian’s low voice echoed, the atmosphere in the room instantly turned heavy.
It wasn't that Wu Tian was being unreasonable in speaking like this, considering the extremely poor attitude of Luo Xiang and his group.
Respect between people is mutual. If you don't give me face, why should I give you face?
Wang Damao’s expression froze completely.
He hadn’t expected things to turn out this way. He wanted to say something, but couldn’t utter a single word.
Luo Xiang was also surprised by Wu Tian’s attitude, and his face immediately darkened.
He said with some displeasure, "What is your attitude? We just arrived, and you're speaking to me in this tone?"
Wu Tian said coldly, "I've always treated people the way they treat me."
"Before questioning my attitude, why don't you think about what attitude you have towards me?"
Luo Xiang’s face turned green with anger.
He shouted, "So, you mean you don’t welcome us?"
"Fine, if you don't welcome us, then we'll leave!"
Seeing that Luo Xiang actually intended to leave, Wang Damao became anxious.
He quickly tried to persuade him, "No, why are you guys acting like this? It was going so well."
"We're all on the same side from now on. Don't let the atmosphere get so bad. Calm down, everyone, calm down."
Luo Xiang said, "On the same side? What a joke. Look at you, do you think you're treating us as one of your own?"
"We came here to help you, and now we have to curry favor with you."
"I'm sorry, but I never kowtow to anyone!"
"So, if we can't get along, let's just stop talking!"
Wang Damao said anxiously, "Don't go, Dr. Luo. Wu Tian is young. It's understandable for young people to have a bad temper."
"Please be more understanding. I beg you."
Seeing Wang Damao’s submissive demeanor, Luo Xiang’s expression softened slightly.
He said coldly, "Young people are just arrogant. Don't think you're so great just because you're a director."
"Your tactics won't work on me!"
Wang Damao continued to agree, "Yes, yes, Dr. Luo is right."
"Don't worry, I'll talk to him and make sure he doesn't make such mistakes again."
Saying this, Wang Damao looked at Wu Tian again and said, "Wu Tian, don't dwell on this too much."
"Since they've already come, you should just arrange their work!"
It was because Wang Damao said this that Wu Tian didn't say much more.
He looked at those people and said, "Everyone is here, right? Alright, I'll arrange what you all need to do now."
But before he could finish speaking, the group of doctors immediately said, "Sorry, I won't listen to your arrangements. We only listen to Dr. Luo."
"We'll do whatever Dr. Luo tells us to do."
Hearing this, Wu Tian frowned again: "Please understand one thing. I am the director here, and my position was given to me by your dean."
"Dr. Luo is, at best, a deputy director here."
"You're not listening to the director, but to a deputy director. Have you got it wrong?"
All the doctors sneered, clearly ignoring Wu Tian and showing him no respect.
Luo Xiang said disdainfully, "Director? Heh, young man, don't think you can act recklessly just because you're the director."
"The so-called director is just a title. It means nothing to us."
"You're just a village doctor in Taohua Village, while I am a doctor who studied abroad and am now a department director at a hospital!"
"If you had any self-awareness, you wouldn't say such things, would you?"
Hearing this, Wu Tian finally understood Luo Xiang's intentions.
It turned out Luo Xiang was unhappy about him becoming director and had come to give him a show of force!
But Wu Tian was not afraid of such things.
He said coldly, "You don't want to listen? No problem. Then please go back where you came from. Our Taohua Village doesn't welcome people like you."
"Wu Tian!" Seeing Wu Tian actually starting to kick them out, Wang Damao became very nervous.
He quickly said, "Don't talk nonsense!"
But Wu Tian's words undoubtedly made Luo Xiang even more enraged.
He trembled and said, "You! You dare to kick me out? Who do you think you are to talk to me like this!"
"If you want to kick me out today, then I won't leave. Don't think you're the boss here."
"Let me say it again, in my eyes, you are nothing!"
After speaking, Luo Xiang ignored Wu Tian and quickly began to arrange the work for the doctors.
Seeing them disperse, Wang Damao stared for two seconds, then asked in a low voice, "Wu Tian, why are they like this? What should we do now?"
Wu Tian was also somewhat caught off guard by this situation.
He could understand the dean's idea, which was probably that sending elites would be better.
But for him, ability was secondary; character was the most important thing!
Wu Tian felt a headache coming on and couldn't help but sigh.
He said, "What else can we do? We can only take it one step at a time."
Since Luo Xiang and the others ignored him, Wu Tian found no point in staying at the health clinic. He decided to go home instead.
He originally thought that Luo Xiang's behavior was simply because he couldn't stand him.
If it weren't for him, with Luo Xiang's level as a department director, he should have been able to manage the health clinic's affairs well.
But to his surprise, the very next morning, Wu Tian received a call from Wang Damao.
"Wu Tian! Something terrible has happened!"
On the phone, Wang Damao said urgently, "Hurry to the health clinic! If you don't go soon, the villagers' complaint calls will be overwhelming!"
Wu Tian immediately asked, "Village head, don't rush. Tell me slowly, what happened?"
Wang Damao said, "Today, many villagers complained to me. They said the medicine sold at the health clinic is more expensive than outside, and the registration fee is also high."
"Not only that, but the health clinic only receives seven to eight patients a day and stops accepting more."
"You tell me, wasn't the purpose of setting up the health clinic to benefit the people? But how can this be acceptable?"
Hearing this, Wu Tian's face immediately darkened.
This Luo Xiang was really going too far!
He said in a deep voice, "I understand, village head. I'll go to the health clinic now!"
After speaking, Wu Tian immediately went out.
