Under the arrangement of Chen Yinsheng, Old Yang went to the evening class accompanied by Qi Kaiwen.
The children went back to their rooms to sleep.
In the office, there were only Chen Yinsheng and Fang Qiu.
“This time, you have rectified our university’s awkward situation lasting for a long time,” Chen Yinsheng said to Fang Qiu.
“What do you mean?” Fang Qiu asked.
“Other universities have highly-skilled doctors, but we don’t have any. Although you being here makes other universities very envious, they still think that we don’t have enough qualified teachers. After all, we have no highly-skilled doctor. They are the most powerful force for a university. In comparison, our teachers are no match for them.”
Chen Yinsheng sighed with emotion and said, “You should also know that learning Chinese Medicine does not rely on rote memorization or knowledge on the textbooks. The most important thing to learn Chinese Medicine is practice and experience. The practical experience of a highly-skilled doctor is enough to change a university, and his prestige is also a big brand for recruiting students.”
“That’s true.” Fang Qiu nodded.
He also improved his medical skills through practical experience. If he hadn’t gone to the hospital for an internship and hadn’t had the chance to treat people in poor areas, his skills in Chinese Medicine wouldn’t have improved so quickly.
Compared with ordinary teachers at universities, highly-skilled doctors knew the importance of practice. And they could share more experience than what ordinary teachers could teach and what the textbooks could provide.
“In fact, your teacher is also a highly-skilled doctor, and he even is one of the more famous ones. However, although your teacher is here at our university, he couldn’t help at all. It’s okay if he doesn’t teach students, but he is also hiding his identity. If he had revealed his identity earlier, our university would not have been ridiculed by others. Just for this matter, I’ve been depressed for a long time.” Chen Yinsheng gave a wry smile as he spoke.
“Mr. Xu, that’s a special case.” Fang Qiu echoed with a smile.
“Actually, I just want to ask you how we can recruit this highly-skilled doctor you brought to our university.” Chen Yinsheng asked and then added, “By the way, what’s his background?”
“I’ll tell you his story while Mr. Yang isn’t here,” Fang Qiu said after thinking for a while.
Chen Yinsheng listened quietly.
Fang Qiu finished speaking quickly.
“I didn’t expect that there is such a great Miao Doctor in the Miao village in the mountains in Nanjiang,” Chen Yinsheng said in surprise.
“Yeah,” Fang Qiu nodded and said, “it’s a pity. If he didn’t spend half of his life in Leprosy Village and went out to travel and continue to improve medical skills, there might be a holy doctor instead of a highly-skilled doctor in the field of Chinese Medicine now!”
“That’s right.” Chen Yinsheng nodded in agreement. He also felt so.
After all, only a handful of people in their thirties could become highly-skilled doctors. Old Yang was able to do it, which meant that he had enough talent in Chinese Medicine. With his talent, if he continued to study, his final strength would definitely not be worse than Xu Miaolin’s.
“Mr. Yang lived a legendary life, but it’s also a pity.”
Fang Qiu sighed softly and said, “He has stayed in mountains for four decades. Now he is very unfamiliar with everything outside, so we can only take it slow. Don’t be too hasty. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if he has a feeling of disgust towards the new world before he accepts it.”
“I also know that,” Chen Yinsheng nodded and said, “but there’s not much time for us. In the incoming ten days, excluding the time Mr. Yang spends in teaching, I’m afraid that we don’t have enough time to persuade him to stay. Now, we even haven’t got a clue about how to persuade him.”
“It’s only the first day. Don’t worry.”
Fang Qiu shook his head and said, “For people like Mr. Yang, there is no chance for you to persuade them in a normal way, so the only way is to use the enthusiasm of the students to convert him and make him feel that he is essential to the university and that staying here is better than going back to Leprosy Village. In this way, he will be willing to stay and teach students!”
“Okay.” Chen Yinsheng’s eyes lit up and he nodded with a smile.
Before his laughter died away, Chen Yinsheng hesitated for a moment, looked at Fang Qiu and asked, “By the way, do you remember Zhang Xinming, the former associate dean of the School of Chinese Medicine?”
“Him?” Fang Qiu was stunned.
Of course he remembered.
It was Zhang Xinming who poisoned Fang Qiu in order to unseat Qi Kaiwen and became dean himself. Unfortunately, Fang Qiu saw through him and he also pleaded guilty and went to jail.
“Why does Chen Yinsheng mention this person?” Fang Qiu was confused.
“Yes,” Chen Yinsheng nodded and said, “he will be released from prison the day after tomorrow.”
Fang Qiu was in a trance.
He thought about it carefully. At that time, Zhang Xinming was charged with intentional injury and was sentenced to one year and seven months in prison. Now he was really about to be released.
“What are you going to do?” Chen Yinsheng asked.
“It could be said that he has done me a favor.”
Fang Qiu thought for a moment and said, “I want to talk to him after he gets out of prison.”
Before Zhang Xinming went to prison at that time, he gave Fang Qiu the last Canon of Poison. As for the poisoning, Zhang Xinming had already confessed his guilt and it was completely over.
“Okay,” Chen Yinsheng nodded and said no more.
After a while, pitter-patter…
With the sound of footsteps, Old Yang came back.
As soon as he entered the room, Fang Qiu and Chen Yinsheng immediately stood up to greet him.
“Mr. Yang, how about the class? What do you think of it?” Chen Yinsheng hurried forward to ask.
“Well, this…”
Old Yang walked to the sofa and sat down. After holding back for a long time, he said, “It’s okay for these teachers to teach those amateurs about some basic knowledge.”
As soon as he said that, Chen Yinsheng felt embarrassed.
However, upon hearing Old Yang’s words, Chen Yinsheng warmed with an inner fire.
Since Old Yang dared to say so, it proved that he was really an expert.
Chen Yinsheng quickly sat down, poured tea for Old Yang, and complained, “Mr. Yang, although this is a university, our faculty resources are limited. You don’t know that Chinese Medicine has been suppressed a lot in the past few years. As you see, teachers are like this, our students’ medical skill is even more limited. We have made the effort to invite you here. In the next few days, please help our students to improve.”
“I’ll try my best.” Old Yang nodded.
The next day, at eight o’clock in the morning, the academic lecture hall was packed with people. Even the corridor was full of people.
Chen Yinsheng and other college officials arrived early and sat in the first row.
It was time for class.
All the students who had signed up for the highly-skilled doctor’s lecture quietened down and waited for him to show up.
Everyone’s eyes were wandering back and forth in the hall, looking for the highly-skilled doctor.
Right at this moment, a figure stepped onto the stage.
Everyone took a closer look.
“Fang Qiu!” someone shouted.
For a moment, everyone in the lecture hall cheered.
No one knew that Fang Qiu had returned to the university.
Therefore, when Fang Qiu appeared, they were so surprised.
Old Yang was in the audience and observing. He was also shocked by the cheers of the students.
Seeing this scene, he finally knew that Fang Qiu was so famous in the university.
“Hello, everyone, I’m Fang Qiu.”
On the stage, Fang Qiu first waved his hand, motioning for everyone to quiet down, and then said, “I’m honored to be here and introduce a great highly-skilled doctor to you!”
Hearing that, everyone immediately quieted down and waited.
“His surname is Yang,” Fang Qiu introduced. “He is the youngest highly-skilled doctor in the entire Chinese Medicine industry. To cure leprosy, he personally caught it and waited for three years before it broke out. This is the spirit of Chinese Medicine that is worthy of our admiration. Please applaud for Mr. Yang!”
After saying this, Fang Qiu pointed to Old Yang in the audience.
In the lecture hall, all the students turned to look at Old Yang at this moment.
In the introduction, Fang Qiu didn’t mention Old Yang’s love story or the appearance of the special medicine for leprosy, which made his efforts go to waste.
After all, Old Yang valued his reputation as well.
On the one hand, these words were too unpleasant to hear. On the other hand, they might cause controversy and make students look down on him.
Introducing a perfect Mr. Yang would let the students become more motivated!
“Mr. Yang hasn’t been out of the mountains for 40 years.”
Fang Qiu continued to introduce, “You should all know that there are 50 highly-skilled doctors in the country, but what you don’t know is that Mr. Yang is the 51st. If he is ranked according to the date when he became a highly-skilled doctor, I believe that Mr. Yang’s ranking must be very high.”
Hearing that, all the students were surprised.
The 51st highly-skilled doctor?
For a time, everyone looked at Mr. Yang with different eyes and high spirits.
“Thus, you all are very lucky. At the same time, I hope that you will cherish this hard-won chance.”
Speaking of this, Fang Qiu clapped his hands as he leaned to one side. “Next, let’s welcome Mr. Yang to give a lecture!”
The audience burst into great applaud.
With the warm welcome, Old Yang stepped onto the stage and started his lecture.
“Hello everyone.”
Old Yang waved his hand at the audience. After everyone quieted down, he said, “I would like to quote a saying in the book, ‘There is a specialty in every field’.”
“Chinese Medicine is also a kind of technique and industry. I will always be a primary school student in the face of Chinese Medicine.”
Speaking of this, Old Yang paused for a moment and then began to talk about his experience in studying medicine and his way to extract knowledge from ancient books. He also shed light on the differences and similarities between Miao medicine and Chinese Medicine.
Old Yang’s speech was neither too fast nor too slow and the rhythm was very good. He held audiences spellbound. Even Chen Yinsheng and other college officials were immersed in it.
After the lecture in the morning, Chen Yinsheng and other college officials invited Old Yang to have lunch together.
In the afternoon, the lecture continued.
Unexpectedly, the popularity in the afternoon far exceeded that in the morning, and many more people came to the lecture.
Old Yang maintained his rhythm.
The lecture lasted for a whole day.
At the end of it, everyone still felt unsatisfied.
After Old Yang finished, Chen Yinsheng walked to the stage and looked at all the students, asking, “Have you learned a lot today?”
All the students present answered in unison, “Yes!”
