"Argh! 2nd assistant it is then!" After long consideration, Team Leader Qiu steeled his resolve. "He will follow Ruiwen." Hearing the final decision, the expressions on the new primary surgeons took a drastic change. Other than Zhu Ruiwen, the faces on the others curled up in anxiety. "Ruiwen and his team are all very experienced. The others, your 1st assistants are slightly weaker, they need a more experienced 2nd assistant. So that's final."
With the superior setting an ultimatum, they could not fight over it any further. All the other newly appointed primary surgeons could do was to stare with envy at Zhu Ruiwen and pick up the leftovers.
Observing for another 10 minutes or so, they have chosen their 3rd assistants and left swiftly with Team Leader Qiu. They still had to rush back to the clinical block and make final arrangements for their operating procedures before lunchtime.
