Chapter 165 Serving as Chief Physician of Traditional Chinese Medicine Department

Actually, he had many questions in his heart, but there were some things he didn't ask. As long as the person in his hand was his wife, that was enough.

He never interfered with any of the decisions Jiang Ning made.

But he remembered that his wife didn't like trouble and rarely saw patients at the clinic. She spent most of her time researching things he couldn't understand.

He had questioned her at that time, asking why she sometimes preferred to research and develop things at home instead of treating patients.

He still remembers what his wife said back then.

She prefers to quietly conduct her research rather than treat patients.

If it weren't for the need to earn money, she wouldn't have planned to work at the clinic.

Jiang Ning has her own research institute in the modern world, and the special drugs she develops generate an annual income of almost hundreds of millions. She rarely takes the initiative to treat patients; the research institute has dedicated personnel to screen patients for her treatment.

At that time, she was focused on studying medicine and developing effective drugs for her illness, but she didn't have much compassion.

By chance, she suddenly arrived in this world, met Shen Mo, witnessed the devastation and darkness of the era, and also saw the soldiers who charged ahead for the people.

I also witnessed the differences between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, as well as the discord and prejudice against traditional Chinese medicine.

Jiang Ning replied, "Actually, there's no such thing as liking or disliking treating patients. I'm willing to do it if it's valuable."

In the time she's been here, she's treated a lot of illnesses, big and small, including many minor ones that she'd never encountered before in her previous life.

When she cured patients and saw the smiles on their faces, she seemed to suddenly find the meaning of studying medicine.

Jiang Ning leaned against Shen Mo's shoulder. "Shen Mo, what truly made me realize the meaning of studying medicine is you and the countless soldiers who serve the country and its people."

Jiang Ning's gentle yet firm words reached Shen Mo's ears, and a surge of emotion welled up within him.

Shen Mo gripped Jiang Ning's hand even tighter. "Wife, why do you say that?"

“Because my husband is a brave and fearless soldier who cares for everyone.” Jiang Ning said, word by word, “The safety of our country is thanks to you and others who have sacrificed their lives. You stood in front of the people in the most dangerous times, but you shouldn’t be without anyone behind you. I am willing and want to be the one behind you who helps you.”

At that time, she considered spending the rest of her absurd life in a small clinic, but gradually, the world was no longer virtual to her.

When Shen Mo was injured, the hospital wouldn't allow her to receive treatment, and that's when she realized what was going on.

She didn't want to see Shen Mo get hurt again in the future, but she could only be a bystander.

I also don't want to see those soldiers who served their country forced to retire due to physical injuries.

She is not a miracle doctor, but she is willing to dedicate her abilities.

Suddenly, the words Jiang Ning had said to him during the last earthquake relief efforts flashed through Shen Mo's mind—

'You defend the country, I will protect you.'

He held the person nestled in his arms in his heart, and held her as the most precious thing in his heart.

Shen Mo's throat trembled slightly, and he tightened his grip on Jiang Ning's arms. "Yes, I have someone to protect me now."

Jiang Ning lifted her head from his embrace, took her hands out, cupped his face, and said, "You are my number one protection target."

Shen Mo and she looked at each other.

Her phoenix eyes were beautiful, bright yet carrying a unique blend of determination and gentleness.

When Grandpa Huang returned home, Jiang Ning told him she was leaving the clinic, but unexpectedly, Grandpa Huang was the happiest person there.

Grandpa Huang looked at Jiang Ning with kind eyes, "Ning girl, you shouldn't have stayed in my little clinic all this time. The vast world outside is where you can shine."

Jiang Ning was very grateful to Grandpa Huang, after all, her first job after coming into this world was given to her by Grandpa Huang.

This job was like a seed that eventually grew into a big tree, its branches propelled by fate, leading her time and time again toward a predetermined yet uncertain future.

Time flies, and a week has passed.

Xu Jin specially came to pick Jiang Ning up on the day she went to the Capital People's Hospital. Originally, Shen Mo planned to take leave to see her off, but Jiang Ning felt that it was not a big deal and there was no need to ask for leave.

With Xu Jin's arrival, there's even less need for him.

Despite Shen Mo's dark expression, Xu Jin openly and legitimately took his beloved wife away.

If you have a car, it takes about an hour to drive from the family compound to the hospital.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Xu Jin immediately took Jiang Ning to Dean Kong's office. Dean Kong stood up to greet Jiang Ning as she entered.

"Dr. Jiang."

Dean Kong's complexion has improved significantly recently. The hospital has suddenly gained another talented person. How could he not be happy?

Hearing others talk about it is never as shocking as seeing it with your own eyes. He had also seen the X-rays of Shen Mo's treatment at other hospitals.

This was the first time he had ever seen an injury that reached the bone and allowed the injured bone to heal completely.

"The Shanxi Provincial People's Hospital where I used to work had two departments: traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine. Now, this hospital only has Western medicine. I have been preparing to open a traditional Chinese medicine department these past few days. However, I need to choose the chief physician of the traditional Chinese medicine department from among you, Dr. Liu, and Dr. Lü. As for who will be selected, I will give them a test question."

Just as Dean Kong finished speaking, two more people walked in.

Without hesitation, they said, "We will give up competing for the position of chief physician and recommend Dr. Jiang to serve as the chief physician of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department."

Dr. Liu and Dr. Lü came in.

When they heard the dean say that the chief physician of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department would be chosen from among the three of them, they were startled and rushed in to disclaim their unwillingness to compete for the chief physician position.

How can they compare to Dr. Jiang?

They only have an advantage in age; they can't compare to Dr. Jiang.

Dean Kong smiled and said, "Alright, then Dr. Jiang, you will serve as the chief physician of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine."

Jiang Ning: "?"

Is it really that hasty?

Which doctor became the chief physician of a department on their very first day at the hospital?

"Dean, I..."

Before Jiang Ning could finish refusing, Dean Kong immediately said, "The Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine is still in the recruitment phase. There are only three doctors in the department. Since Dr. Liu and Dr. Lü voluntarily gave up competing for the position of chief physician, then this position will naturally be yours."
