Chapter 403 Shall we date?

In an office in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the medical university, Professor Li slumped in his chair, shakily drinking water from his thermos.

Seeing this, Lin Mo quickly found a paper cup in the water dispenser and handed it to Professor Li, pouring him a cup and asking, "Teacher, what was that just now?"

"Your senior sister, Shen Qingnan, was my student before me. She studied traditional Chinese medicine and also has family medical knowledge. Now she is a lecturer at our university and a doctor at the First Hospital of Jiangning City."

I usually go to the hospital to see patients, but I also take time to come back and give lectures. If we medical students have a master's degree with average qualifications, we will most likely only do one job, either working at a university or seeing patients at a hospital.

"But if one has a high enough education and strong enough ability, one can have the dual identity of a doctor and a teacher." Professor Li briefly explained the woman's situation and the special nature of her profession.

Hearing this, Lin Mo was speechless. Do you want to listen to what you're saying? And you're a master's degree holder with only average qualifications? How is a master's degree considered average?

So what does his ordinary second-tier university degree mean in the eyes of the old man in front of him? Is he semi-illiterate?
However, it's understandable if you think about it a little. After all, medical students are different. Ordinary undergraduates can't find jobs outside. Even though Jiangning Medical University is a key university, if you don't take the postgraduate entrance exam, you probably won't have a good career after graduation. But a master's degree is very common.

Sure enough, there are differences between universities. Compared to them, their so-called science and technology university is no different from a scam.

"Then who is my Senior Sister Shen?" Lin Mo asked cautiously.

Professor Li took a sip of water to calm down: "Oh, she graduated with her doctorate. Although she is not the highest-ranking or most accomplished of my students, she is definitely the one I have the most faith in."

She completed her bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees in eight years and was only 26-27 years old when she graduated. She was highly talented and capable. I initially wanted to take her on as my last disciple, and she agreed. However, as you know, traditional Chinese medicine still has some traditions, and as her teacher, I should at least have a formal title. But she has family medical knowledge.

There was no other way, so I had to take in another one. You've met this person before; he's Xiao Fan from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.

Sigh, he was quite talented back then, but I don't know why, after studying for his master's degree with me, he just went completely astray, and now he annoys me every day.

Forget it, I'm not going to talk about him anymore. The more I talk about him, the angrier I get. I'll give him a piece of my mind when I go to the hospital another day.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but think of Fan Peng. In his previous state, Lin Mo had thought he was a good-for-nothing student, but it turned out he was a genius back then. Indeed, Professor Li doesn't keep idle people under his tutelage.

However, being a genius back then doesn't guarantee he'll remain a genius in the future. Too many geniuses fall by the wayside, and those who manage to become Professor Li's students are all exceptionally talented.

A genius in the eyes of outsiders, but once inside, you realize there are geniuses everywhere. Maybe that's what caused his mental breakdown.

"Then why do you seem so afraid of her? You're the teacher!" Lin Mo asked.

Hearing this, Professor Li smiled somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Back then, we said we would take her as our last disciple, but we didn't keep our promise. Later, we took in Xiao Fan, and now we've brought you back. This girl is feeling quite bitter."

Lin Mo: ? ? ?
"No, she's so old, what's the point of fighting over this? It's just a title. By your standards, she's not young anymore, is she? Why can't she let this go?"

He just couldn't understand why the more people in a sect, the better. That way, more people could stick together for mutual support, and even if they didn't stick together, there shouldn't be any conflicts of interest between them, right?

Since there's no conflict of interest, why care so much? He won't care anyway.

"There are some things in the TCM circle that you don't understand. How should I put it? If I take her as my last disciple and train her as my successor, with that title, she can consider herself my successor in the future."

But now she's neither a closed-door disciple nor does her family have its own traditions. Simply put, she can only represent her family. It's just that now, after her, there are you and Xiao Fan, so her status as a closed-door disciple isn't as significant. Oh well, these are some rules from our older generation's circle. This is a new society now, there aren't so many rules anymore," Professor Li waved his hand helplessly.

Although he didn't elaborate, Lin Mo roughly understood. In short, it was the closed-door disciple who was the next to the closed-door disciple, and he, the one who locked the back door, had taken over the title of the closed-door disciple.

However, he didn't understand. Perhaps there really were some rules among the older generation of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. After all, some traditional industries still adhere to the rules of the older generation, the most famous of which is probably crosstalk.

The two then chatted for a while in the office. Professor Li had a class today, and he would bring Lin Mo along to attend.

Forty minutes later, the door to Professor Li's office was opened. Without knocking, the person who entered was Shen Qingnan.

"Hello, Senior Sister," Lin Mo said, standing up to greet her.

The woman left before he could say anything, but now that he knows her identity, he naturally has to greet her.

Upon seeing this, Professor Li quickly said, "Qingnan, this is your junior brother, Lin Mo. He's not a student at our medical university, but he also has family medical knowledge."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingnan was taken aback. Firstly, she hadn't expected her teacher to accept a student who wasn't from a medical university. Secondly, she hadn't expected that her junior brother would have family medical knowledge just like her. Her expression softened slightly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo then introduced himself: "I'm a senior at Jiangning University of Science and Technology, majoring in computer science. I also know some massage and bone-setting techniques."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingnan was even more shocked: "Computer science? How talented are you to be accepted as a student by a teacher?"

It's normal to have this thought, after all, you can only take on a student who isn't studying medicine if that person has exceptional talent.

Upon hearing this, Professor Li seemed to find confidence and began to talk at length about Lin Mo's situation. In particular, when he mentioned that Lin Mo's massage and bone setting skills were comparable to those of an expert, Shen Qingnan's eyes showed disbelief for the first time.

It's important to understand that the experts mentioned by her teacher, Professor Li, are not the kind of quack experts that appear online these days, which spring up like mushrooms after rain.

Those whom Professor Li calls experts must be at least well-known doctors in their respective fields. How old is my junior brother? How can he have such abilities?
To be honest, she didn't believe it, but she trusted that her teacher wouldn't lie about something like this.

“That’s really amazing. If you have the chance, give your senior sister a massage so I can experience your expert-level massage and bone setting skills. Senior sister also knows a little bit about it, so we can exchange ideas,” Shen Qingnan said.

Although his tone and expression were still cold, it was at least much better than at the beginning.

The three of them then chatted idly in the office when Lin Mo's frequent drinking of cold water caught Shen Qingnan's attention.

"Junior brother, have you been feeling a little unwell lately?" Shen Qingnan said, casually placing his hand on Lin Mo's wrist.

Before Lin Mo could even speak, he felt a cool, refreshing sensation on his wrist.

Shen Qingnan placed her small hand on the ground, then frowned slightly and remained silent for a while, which startled Lin Mo, who couldn't help but ask:
"Senior Sister, are you okay?"

Shen Qingnan: "Want to date?"

Lin Mo: ? ? ?
