Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 1140 Masters from Across the Land Gather, Guests from Lingnan (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

"The re-examination will be held in batches, starting as early as July 6th and as late as July 15th." Fang Yan heard Meng Jimin reveal this latest news to her right after the morning rounds.

Fang Yan was somewhat surprised:

"Such a long time span?"

“Yes, it is indeed a bit big.” Meng Jimin nodded.

Yuan Qingshan, who was standing to the side, said:
"From the 6th to the 15th, that means there will be a batch of people taking the second round of interviews every day. That's a total of ten batches. Wow, that's several thousand people!"

Meng Jimin asked in dialect:

"Are all the students in our class scheduled for the 10th?"

Fang Yan, being the class monitor, knew the situation of the whole class and nodded.
"Yeah, that's right."

Meng Jimin guessed:

"That should be allocated according to region."

Old Fan, standing to the side, said:

"There are a lot of people coming here. Haven't you noticed that there are more people with out-of-town accents coming to the hospital lately?"

Meng Jimin nodded and said:
"It's true. Yesterday, someone came in after registering to ask if I was from the Capital University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I could tell from their accent that they were from out of town. When I asked, they said they had excessive dampness in their body and immediately described their tongue and pulse to me. I was wondering why they had diagnosed themselves so thoroughly and just went to get the medicine. Turns out they were trying to gather information from us..."

"But they're trying to test us with this little bit of stuff, so their skill level doesn't seem very high."

Fang Yan said to him:
"You know the preliminary test questions are relatively simple, and many people can pass the test. They also want to test us and understand our current quality."

Meng Jimin said:
"With so many people taking the exam, I don't know how many will make it in the end, but I estimate the elimination rate will be terrifying."

This is actually a consensus among everyone.

Old Fan said:

"The written test is relatively simple; the real test will come during the interview."

After saying that, he sighed:

"Fortunately, we've been dealing with patients every day during this period, and we've been facing all sorts of people and examiners every day."

He said in dialect:

"These ten groups of people were divided into ten written test papers, and most importantly, the questions asked to each person during the interview may be very different, and may even be different for each person."

There's no way around it; the history of traditional Chinese medicine is too ancient, and there are too many knowledge points that can be tested.

As they talked, they headed toward the outpatient building.

Especially at times like these, Fang Yan and his colleagues never stopped working.

Now everyone is actively accumulating clinical experience and even improving their psychological qualities. At the beginning, some people in the class were a little nervous when facing patients or were prone to saying the wrong thing. Now, after so much practice, everyone is able to handle them with ease.

Furthermore, everyone shares their experiences every afternoon.

You can learn different experiences from different classmates, so you can improve very quickly.

This would be virtually impossible for anyone else.

The main point is to help each other learn and improve together. Logically speaking, everyone is a competitor. If you can outperform those around you, that would be the best outcome. How can you expect others to fall behind and you to improve together?
However, the situation is different for Fang Yan and his group. Now, the people in the elite class are a unified whole. They are not only bound together by the class, but most of them are also from the same company.

The things these people provide to the company can make their own wallets fatter if they sell them for money in the market, so they naturally see each other as a whole, regardless of their dialect.

Even those without shareholders weren't abandoned. There were only a few of them, and they got along well. They weren't discriminated against based on their dialect. So, this year's goal was for everyone to pass the re-examination and enter the graduate program.

"Comrade Fang Yan?!"

"Excuse me, are you Comrade Fang Yan?" At this moment, a few young people in their late twenties stood at the entrance of the outpatient building, holding newspapers in their hands and asking Fang Yan.

At this moment, Lao Fan and Yuan Qingshan naturally stood in front of Fang Yan, separating the people coming up.

The two men were trained in martial arts, so their imposing presence was naturally strong, and they immediately blocked the newcomer. They had recently heard about someone trying to obtain a secret recipe from Fang Yan, only to be caught in the process.

This wasn't something Fang Yan and Yan Yifan revealed; it was something the overseas Chinese businessmen said when they were giving patients acupuncture every morning.

Therefore, when they hear someone asking about Fang Yan, they instinctively become vigilant. Fang Yan is their benefactor, and they can't afford to have anything happen to him.

Although Fang Yan had also practiced martial arts and was even stronger than them, the Taoist doctor duo naturally stepped forward to stop the approaching crowd.

"Yes, it is. What can I do for you?" Fang Yan asked the person who came.

The other party responded:
“We’re from Guangdong. You visited our school last time.”

Dialect of surprise:

"Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine?"

The other party nodded in unison:

"Yes!"

Fang Yan was somewhat surprised:

"How do you..."

Fang Yan was surprised that although they wouldn't be offering postgraduate programs in Guangzhou this year, they were sure they would be next year, yet they still came to take the exams.

Moreover, instead of looking for Xiao Chengzhi, Deng Lao's apprentice, they came to find me?
Upon hearing the question about dialect, the leader of the other side immediately chimed in:

“We don’t offer graduate programs in our area, so I applied this time to try it out. I didn’t expect to make it to the interview stage, so I came to Beijing to take the interview. My teacher told me to come to Beijing to say hello to you.”

Fang Yan was a little confused and asked:

"Your teacher is... Deng..."

"No, none of us are Professor Deng Tietang's students."

Next, they began to introduce themselves:

"My teacher and his teacher is Professor Wong Yiu-sun."

"My teacher is Professor Liu Shichang."

"I am Professor Liang Naijin's student."

"I switched from Chinese Pharmacy to Traditional Chinese Medicine. My teacher is Professor Zhao Sijing."

“I specialize in acupuncture, and my teacher is Professor Situ Ling.”

Upon hearing the dialect, wow, several disciples of top masters from Lingnan, all of them, have come over!
The last time we co-authored a book, Fang Yan was with these professors.

The teachers of these people in front of us are either the director of this research lab, a leading authority, or a living encyclopedia, or a master of acupuncture.

Just thinking about it makes it clear what kind of people these are.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, they should become classmates in the graduate program.

Fang Yan said to them:

"Welcome, welcome. Let's not talk here. Let's go to my office and sit for a while."

"I'll also invite Deng Lao's apprentice over so we can all catch up."

After speaking in dialect, he invited them to go upstairs together.

The group happily agreed and followed Fang Yan upstairs.
