The Deputy Chief followed the Chief and the Minister's gaze to Chen Lihua, and he became envious. But Chen Lihua, who was the center of attention, had something else going on in her mind.
So she was a bit distracted and lost in her thoughts. She only came back to reality when the Chief continued with his speech.
After speaking, the Chief gave the Minister the platform to speak.
The Minister spoke to them all with smiles. He told them not to be nervous because of his identity. He ended his speech by saying that he was in their capable hands and should take care of him.
The surgeons gave him a round of applause with relaxed smiles.
They were nervous, and most of them were scared because of the identity of the patient they would operate on, plus the intimidating bodyguards, standing behind him.
But now that the Minister had spoken to them amicably, they became more relaxed freely.
