Nevertheless, he couldn’t be blamed. He had been too busy during this period.
He was busy with making money, saving people, hooking up with girls, monitoring, having sex in the car, having sex in the sea, and even thinking about having sex in the air. He had no time to think of these two unlucky guys.
As for Ding Ning, only the people and things he cared about could linger in his mind. Other things were not important at all.
Therefore, Mo Fei imagined that Ding Ning would feel uneasy and live in deep anxiety, but it was impossible. When Mo Fei learned the fact, it would probably put his nose out of joint.
Connecting the meridians was easy for Ding Ning, as long as they could wake up. Ding Ning pretended to poke them with silver needles and swiftly completed the project that was not complicated for him.
Ding Ning spent twenty minutes in total, ten minutes on each patient. Ding Ning deliberately did that to hide his capability and avoid shocking those who were watching him. After all, he knew that the treatment was monitored throughout.
Of course, he didn’t know whether these two kidnappers would hate him after they woke up. He was only responsible for awakening them, but whether they would be healthy in the future was not guaranteed.
They almost killed Monkey and made the beautiful policewoman sacrifice her life. Ding Ning considered these an unforgivable sin. Of course, his focus was on the policewoman.
Although she was not his girlfriend, Ding Ning could no longer treat her as a friend after they had gone through many things together.
He didn’t know how shocked the people in the conference room on the top floor were when they saw this scene.
Among so many scholars and experts present, no one could do anything to cure the two patients after consultation. However, Ding Ning made the two patients wake up by casually inserting the needles in their bodies. You could imagine how shocked they were.
Watching these big shots of the medical community open their mouths wide and look astonished, Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang suddenly felt proud and elated.
F*ck, they jointly invited these old guys to attend the seminar on traditional Chinese medicine in Ninghai. Except for some young people, the old guys were insufferably arrogant. In particular, several old guys from Yanjing acted bureaucratically and talked officially, which made Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang so angry that they almost spat blood.
After coming to Ninghai, they seemed to be respectful to Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang while ridiculing them behind them. They talked about the message Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang jointly published on Weibo, made fun of them for calling a young man senior brother and said that they had humiliated the leading scholars of traditional Chinese medicine.
Of course, they were not malicious, but just got used to getting along with Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang in this way.
In particular, Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang were notoriously aloof from material pursuit in the circle. They hated to see that they turned a decent medical seminar into a cocktail party and cursed them in public for being vulgar and material, which made them feel ashamed.
With this opportunity, they would naturally take it to retaliate. They did not pay much attention to Ding Ning before. But as the practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine, they had a sensitive intuition which enabled them to realize the huge potential market of anesthesia of traditional Chinese medicine. Otherwise, they would not gather here today.
Now, Ding Ning gave them, who considered themselves above the crowd, a slap in the face with his strength. After bearing them for a few days, Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang finally got the expectant result. They suddenly felt delighted and at ease.
“Collect all the video materials and back them up. I want to take them away.”
Minister Jiang calmly told Director Zhao, while secretly feeling glad that his visit had not been made in vain. The answer handed in by Ding Ning was enough to make his visit worthwhile.
“Yes, Minister Jiang!”
Director Zhao respectfully answered and immediately got up to handle it personally.
He secretly regretted that because of the incident of Li Qiuhai, he was frightened by Ding Ning, kept a distance with Ding Ning and did not continue to deepen the contact with Ding Ning and thus to miss the opportunity to befriend Ding Ning.
Now Ding Ning had obviously drawn Minister Jiang’s attention and had an infinite future. What he could do was to befriend Ding Ning as much as possible and catch the last bus before his rapid promotion.
“Give me a copy too.”
There came Du Zesheng’s light voice, making Director Zhao’s heart tremble. He hurriedly answered with increasing remorse in his heart.
Minister Jiang heard Du Zesheng’s words, and his eyelids twitched. He secretly pondered Du Zesheng’s intention and wondered if he also realized the invisible connections and administrative achievements which Ding Ning could bring and wanted to take advantage of Ding Ning.
Every word and action of a superior contained a deep meaning. It was no wonder that Minister Jiang would think much. After all, the incident of Du Zesheng’s wife was confidential, and the news had been deliberately blocked.
Only some superiors could get some vague news. It was very normal that someone like Minister Jiang, who held a high position but lacked the background of an aristocratic family, didn’t know the situation.
“Principal Lu, what do you think of Ding Ning’s successive postgraduate and doctoral program?”
Mr. Hu came up to Principal Lu and asked with a smile.
In front of such a leading scholar as Mr. Hu, Principal Lu did not dare to neglect him. He hurriedly stood up to pull a middle-aged man, who was thin, tall and refined, and introduced him.
“Mr. Hu, let’s me introduce him to you. He is Song Siyuan, the director of Ninghai Education Bureau.”
“Mr. Hu, I’ve heard so much about you!”
Song Siyuan enthusiastically stood up, took the initiative to shake hands with Mr. Hu and said with a smile, “Principal Lu forgot to say that in fact, I was his student. I also graduated from Ninghai University.”
“Ah, a great teacher produces a brilliant student.”
Mr. Hu felt delighted that the director of the Education Bureau was also here. His smile instantly became more joyful. Since the director used to be principal Lu’s student, it would be easier to negotiate.
Principal Lu sighed with a chuckle, “The pupil excels the teacher. When Siyuan was at school, he was excellent. Now he has made great achievements in his political career and has an infinite future. Now thinking about it, I realize that I’ve got old.”
“I’m flattered. Compared with you, I am still far from excellence.”
Song Siyuan said modestly.
Seeing them keep flattering each other without mentioning the business, Mr. Hu felt displeased and directly said, “Principal Lu, Ding Ning’s postgraduate examination was interrupted, and he is assessed in this way. Now you should tell us about the result.”
“Mr. Hu, you’ve worried too much. I considered that he had passed the exam since he went through the seventh pass. Now he directly went through the final pass. What else can I say, but…”
Principal Lu hesitated in a reluctant tone.
“But what?”
Mr. Zhang couldn’t sit still, and came up to ask anxiously.
With a sly sparkle in his eyes, Principal Lu said, “But… Ding Ning’s performance is excellent, which baffles me a little. Now the professors of traditional Chinese medicine school are the tutors of not a few graduate students for a Master’s degree and even doctoral students. Even if Ding Ning is enrolled, I am afraid there is no professor willing to be his tutor.”
Mr. Hu frowned, “Isn’t it easy to arrange just a student? He can be a nominal student. To put it bluntly, Ding Ning is so highly-skilled that he does not need a teacher. He takes the postgraduate entrance exam in order to get a diploma.”
“That’s the reason why it baffles me. Think about it. Who is willing to be the tutor of a student who is more highly-skilled than himself? No one wants to lose face. With a student like Ding Ning, others will wonder who the tutor is. It will only embarrass them to be Ding Ning’s tutor.”
Principal Lu said seriously with an embarrassed face.
Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang stood, gazing at each other. What Principal Lu said was true. Anyone would feel embarrassed with a student who was more highly-skilled than himself.
Mr. Hu touched his chin and said gloomily, “What should we do? We shouldn’t refuse to enroll him because of this, right?”
“Well, I actually have an idea which can satisfy both sides. I’m wondering if I should say it.”
Song Siyuan, who kept smiling, suddenly interrupted at the moment.
“Director Song, just say it.”
On hearing his words, Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang became refreshed and hurriedly urged him to say it.
“Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang seem to have a good relationship. If I remember correctly, both of you retired from the national health care team with the professor title. Maybe principal Lu can rehire you to be the honorary advisors of the medical college of Ninghai University enjoying the treatment of professor, and Ding Ning can be your nominal student. In this way, all problems can be solved.”
Song Siyuan said, gazing at Principal Lu in an imperceptible way with a sly smile.
Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang were shrewd. They looked at each other and smiled bitterly. F*ck, principal Lu and director Song were so crafty. They played a duet-collaboration to trick Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang.
Nevertheless, at the thought of getting along with Ding Ning and discussing medical skills with him, Mr. Hu considered that this choice seemed to be good. He said after hesitation, “Okay, but I have requirements.”
“What requirements? Just tell us.”
Knowing that Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang had been convinced, Principal Lu instantly beamed with joy.
He had thought about asking someone to invite Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang to serve as honorary advisors of the medical school. However, the invitations of Peking University and Tsinghua University had been rejected by them, which made him drop this idea.
With the leading status of Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang in the medical community, even if they were only nominal professors of the school, it was enough to have a huge impact on the annual enrollment of the medical college of Ninghai University.
There were no second chances after this. Even Principal Lu knew that he seemed to be forcing them in this way, he was not willing to miss such an opportunity.
In fact, even if Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang did not agree, Principal Lu would never give up such a high-quality student as Ding Ning. There were plenty of professors in the college vying for him.
Even the student was more highly-skilled than them, so what? These professors were all committed to research. They didn’t care about those bubble reputations, but were more concerned about learning more things from Ding Ning.
Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang became bewildered because they were concerned about Ding Ning too much. They changed the difficulty of the postgraduate entrance exam in order to pave the way for him and thus to make him a blockbuster.
If Principal Lu was completely unwilling to enroll Ding Ning, they would do wrong with a good intention. Thus, they had to agree to Principal Lu’s request.
Although they realized it afterward, they could only shake their heads with a bitter smile. This grievance was harmless. What was more, it was their wish to cultivate more students of traditional Chinese medicine.
“Zhang and I are both old. We can only arrange two classes each week, and if we are not available, please allow Ding Ning to teach on our behalf.”
Mr. Hu was shrewd to put forward his requirement first. They did everything for Ding Ning, and let him lecture in order to cultivate his ability.
“No problem! Do you have any other requirements?”
Principal Lu did not hesitate to agree. He just wanted Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang to be nominal professors. Unexpectedly they were willing to lecture. This was really a surprise.
“I have no other requirements. Zhang, what about you?”
Mr. Hu consulted Mr. Zhang’s opinion.
Mr. Zhang shook his head with a bitter smile, “We have been involved in this by little senior brother. Fine, since you have promised, I don’t have any other opinion.”
“I’ll ask someone to draw up a contract now.”
For fear that Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang would go back on their words, Principal Lu couldn’t wait to ask someone to print the contract.
“When is Ding Ning going to attend school?” Mr. Hu hurriedly asked.
“Anytime. The semester has already begun. I will complement his record tonight, and he can register tomorrow.”
Seeing that two leading scholars and a talented student enrolled by their school, Principal Lu instantly beamed with joy and promised to handle things rapidly.
Mr. Hu felt relieved. He called Ding Ning to tell him this good news.
It was as Ding Ning expected. He did not feel surprised, but still sincerely thanked Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang, asked if he should invite the principal to have dinner to show his gratitude.
Mr. Hu refused directly on behalf of Principal Lu. Ding Ning must be joking. With the mayor and the deputy minister of the Ministry of Health here, Principal Lu definitely had no time.
After hanging up the phone, Ding Ning felt a little perturbed, wondering if the special departments would come to find him.
If they came, should he resist or just allow himself to be arrested?
