Medical Master

“I have to make a phone call now.”

After finding some seats for Old Yang and the children to sit in the airport lobby, Fang Qiu took out his mobile phone and called Li Ji.

Both Old Yang and those children were from the Miao village, so they didn’t have an ID card and hadn’t gone through the household registration procedures. As a result, they couldn’t buy any flight tickets.

Spring City was 2,100 kilometers away from Jiangjing, so if they were to travel by car, it would take them a long time. Old Yang and the children might not be able to endure the long journey.

Therefore, Fang Qiu could only ask Li Ji for help.

Soon, Li Ji got it done after the call ended.

He didn’t have their information registered in the household registration system, and instead, he directly bought some flight tickets for them. After all, getting their information registered in the household registration system couldn’t be done simply in a short time.

Fang Qiu didn’t tell Li Ji to do that either, because he knew with the development of Leprosy Village, some people would soon go to the village to conduct a census and collect the villagers’ information. It was even possible that a police station would be established there, and the villagers would soon be able to get their information registered in the household registration system.

Following Fang Qiu, Old Yang got on the plane with the children.

“What is this?”

“There are so many seats to sit here.”

“Why is this window so small?”

“Will we fly soon?”

The children asked all kinds of questions.

Old Yang was also a bit excited because this was his first time on a plane. Although he had heard of it before, he had never seen what a plane looked like with his own eyes.

“Mr. Yang.”

Looking at Old Yang, who was a little excited, Fang Qiu said with a smile, “This plane will fly across half of Nanjiang. Maybe you could see the mountains, where your village is located.”

Hearing that, Old Yang kept looking out of the window after the plane took off, as if he was looking for the mountains.

The plane arrived in Jiangjing a few hours later.

While walking out of the airport, Fang Qiu called Chen Yinsheng.

“Hello?” Chen Yinsheng answered the phone.

“President Chen, I invited a highly-skilled doctor to give lectures in our university, but he only agreed to stay in our university for ten days. So it all depends on our university’s ability to make him stay longer,” Fang Qiu said directly.

“What?”

Chen Yinsheng was stunned for a moment as if he had heard it wrong. He asked suspiciously, “A highly-skilled doctor?”

“Yes.” Fang Qiu nodded affirmatively.

“This highly-skilled doctor is willing to give lectures in our university?

“There are only 50 highly-skilled doctors in our country. Which highly-skilled doctor are you referring to?” Chen Yinsheng asked in surprise.

“He is not among them.”

Fang Qiu shook his head and continued, “He is an experienced Miao Doctor from a Miao village in Nanjiang and he is actually the 51st highly-skilled doctor. I happened to meet him in Nanjiang when I went there this time. Listen, this is a rare chance. Other highly-skilled doctors all have held positions in other universities, so they may not be willing to give a lecture in our university even if we invite them. You must grasp this rare chance to make this Miao Doctor stay in our university longer.”

“Of course, I will!” Chen Yinsheng said excitedly. “Hurry up and bring him to our university.”

“Okay.” Fang Qiu agreed with a smile.

In the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine, Chen Yinsheng rubbed his hands repeatedly and excitedly in his office.

He was well aware of how rare this opportunity was.

It was a highly-skilled doctor that didn’t hold any positions!

This doctor was as rare and precious as those top divine generals in a computer game. Most importantly, he didn’t hold any position, so many people would like to recruit him if they found out about him. Chen Yinsheng would never miss such a great chance, and he would try to make this doctor join their university at all costs.

When Fang Qiu hung up, the taxi he called arrived at the airport.

After getting in the car, Fang Qiu told the driver to head to the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine.

It was five o’clock in the afternoon when they arrived at the school gate.

Before Fang Qiu got out of the car, he saw that Chen Yinsheng was waiting at the school gate with other school leaders.

He got out of the car and introduced the university to Old Yang.

“Mr. Yang, this is the university where I study. It’s called University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine. There are many departments in this university, and I’m a student from the Department of Chinese Medicine.”

Then, he pointed to Chen Yinsheng and said, “He is the Vice President of our university. The President of our university generally doesn’t manage school affairs himself. The people standing by our Vice President are the leaders of our university. After hearing that you’re going to visit our university, they have been waiting at the school gate to welcome you.”

Old Yang’s expression changed, and he felt flattered.

As soon as Fang Qiu finished his introduction, Chen Yinsheng came up with a group of leaders. He grabbed Old Yang’s hand and said, “Are you Mr. Yang? I’m sorry that I didn’t come to pick you up at the airport. It must have been a hard journey for you.”

“Not at all, not at all.”

Old Yang shook his head with a wry smile and said, “I’m honored that so many of you have come to pick me up here.”

“Well, everyone in our university is honored to have you visit our university,” Chen Yinsheng replied.

Speaking of this, Chen Yinsheng held Old Yang’s hand again and said, “By the way, although Fang Qiu has introduced me to you, now I have to formally introduce myself again. My name is Chen Yinsheng, and I’m the Vice President of the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine. You can call me Yinsheng.”

“Don’t stand on ceremony, President Chen,” Old Yang said with a smile.

“No, I must show you my respect,” Chen Yinsheng responded and then waved to other school leaders, asking them to introduce themselves to Old Yang.

At this moment, Fang Qiu grabbed Chen Yinsheng’s arm and led him aside.

“What do you think of him?” asked Fang Qiu.

“He is very dignified and looks like a master,” said Chen Yinsheng as he nodded.

“There aren’t many Miao Doctors now, let alone a highly-skilled one. However, Mr. Yang has been staying in his village for so long that he doesn’t want to leave there. This time, he only agreed to give lectures in our university for ten days, and after ten days, he will return to the village. So you must be patient and take it slow. Don’t ask him about it directly.” Fang Qiu suggested.

Chen Yinsheng nodded and said, “Don’t worry. I know what to do.”

The leaders finished introducing themselves to Old Yang.

“Mr. Yang, it’s getting late. You and those kids must be hungry now after such a long journey,” Chen Yinsheng walked back to Old Yang and said. “I’ve told the cooks in our university to prepare dinner. Let’s go eat something first. We can have a talk while eating. What do you think?”

“Okay.” Old Yang nodded repeatedly.

They came to a private room on the second floor of the canteen. Under Chen Yinsheng’s order, the waiters immediately served their meal.

They chatted while eating.

“Originally, I was planning to treat you to dinner in the best hotel in our city to welcome you. But considering that you’re going to stay at our university for ten days, I think I’d better show you around first. So I just prepared this simple meal. I hope you won’t mind it,” Chen Yinsheng said.

“Oh, in fact, it’s enough. I haven’t eaten anything as nice as these for years. Thank you so much.” Old Yang thanked Chen Yinsheng with a smile as he looked at the children who were dining happily.

After that, Chen Yinsheng told Old Yang about the university and the students and told him that he could eat here in the following days for free.

After dinner, under Chen Yinsheng’s invitation, everyone went to his office to have tea.

“Vice President.”

While drinking tea, Fang Qiu said, “It took me much effort to persuade Mr. Yang into giving lectures at our university. So you must take good care of him in the following days.”

“Of course, I will since it’s our great honor to have Mr. Yang visit our university,” Chen Yinsheng said.

“Good.”

Fang Qiu nodded and then said, “By the way, if the students are told at the beginning that Mr. Yang is going to give them lectures in the following ten days, they would inevitably feel that this chance comes to them so easily and they would not cherish it or listen to the lectures carefully. I think we should tell them that Mr. Yang is going to give them just one lecture so that they would cherish this rare chance. When the first lecture is over and they ask Mr. Yang to give another one, we then tell them that we would… In this way, the students could learn more from Mr. Yang.”

“That’s a good idea,” Chen Yinsheng nodded and said. “You’re quite good at analyzing people’s minds.”

Fang Qiu smiled.

“Mr. Yang, do you have any request?” Chen Yinsheng turned to ask Old Yang.

“Yes.” Old Yang thought for a moment and replied, “Can I attend a class before I give my own one?”

Forty years ago when Old Yang left the mountains, he had seen many schools and knew something about them. But it had been forty years and he didn’t know anything about schools nowadays. He was curious about the teaching quality of Chinese Medicine in schools nowadays. That was why he wanted to attend a class first. In addition, he also wanted to take the chance to gain some ideas so that he could prepare for the lectures he was going to give.

“Of course.”

Chen Yinsheng nodded at once and said, “There’s an evening class tonight. If you want to, you can attend it tonight.”

“Fang Qiu, shall we attend it together?” Old Yang turned to look at Fang Qiu.

“I’m afraid I can’t go.” Fang Qiu quickly shook his head.

“Oh, why?”

Old Yang was curious.

Chen Yinsheng gave a wry smile and said, “Fang Qiu is so famous that his showing up would cause a sensation in our university. If he shows up, the students would be distracted by him and couldn’t concentrate on their class, and the teacher would be annoyed as well thinking that Fang Qiu is there to cause trouble.”

“Really?”

Old Yang glanced at Fang Qiu in surprise and said, “All right then.”

Chen Yinsheng then arranged for Old Yang to attend the evening class and also arranged for the children to rest in the university.

After that, he immediately asked someone to issue an announcement.

“Good news: Recently, a highly-skilled doctor visited our school and will give a lecture to the students at our university. This is a rare opportunity, and whoever is interested in the lecture should sign up for it quickly!”

Soon, the news spread widely in the university.

After hearing it, the students all thought that it was a rare chance to listen to the lecture given by a highly-skilled doctor.

There were only 50 highly-skilled doctors in the whole country, and each of them was precious. One could rarely get a chance to listen to the lecture given by a highly-skilled doctor. For a college student, he might not be able to gain such a chance during all the years when he was in school. So they must grasp this chance.

The students were all interested in the lecture and hurried to sign up for it.
