Grew up in an orphanage, with average looks, and worked tirelessly for 30 years, accumulating six million in savings. Just as she finally achieved financial freedom without spending a dime, Su Yan ...
Director Zhong took the key out of the drawer and gave it to her. "Your dormitory is 304 in Building A. It's a four-person room. There are two students studying medical laboratory science and one student studying Western medicine. You will be in the Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Class 2. I will also be your Western medicine teacher."
Su Yan was a little surprised, "You're actually teaching me personally?"
Director Zhong smiled and said, "My job doesn't involve much work every day, so I applied to teach students."
"Director Zhong is a Western medicine expert. He was later invited to Southern Medical University to become a professor, and now he has been promoted to director," Xie Jin explained.
Su Yan was shocked.
Director Zhong is an expert at such a young age; he must have been a prominent figure in his youth.
"I've fallen behind in a lot of classes, and I'll have to trouble Teacher Zhong to give me more guidance in the future," she said sincerely.
As soon as she finished speaking, Director Zhong pushed a black notebook on the table in front of her and said, "It's okay if you miss the classes. This notebook contains the content I taught in the past two weeks. I prepared it especially for you. Take it back and take a look. If you don't understand anything, feel free to ask me."
Hearing this, Su Yan was a little flattered, but Xie Jin said to her, "Director Zhong, like our master, is someone who cherishes talent. He must have learned of your talent in traditional Chinese medicine, so he wants to test your talent in Western medicine. Director Zhong, what are you up to by secretly testing my junior sister like this? I'll have to tell my master later."
"No way!" Director Zhong exclaimed immediately. "What ulterior motives could I possibly have? I just think that if Su Yan is so talented in traditional Chinese medicine, she must be just as good in Western medicine. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds to train her in both?"
In recent years, Director Zhong has also begun to look for students with talent in Western medicine, intending to take on an apprentice to inherit his mantle, but unfortunately he has not yet found a suitable one.
It was only after hearing from the principal that the arrogant Master Jue praised his new apprentice so highly that he set his sights on Su Yan.
Su Yan: "..." She suddenly felt that the notebook in her hand was a little hot.
Xie Jin said helplessly, "Director Zhong, you're still so young, why are you in such a hurry? Take your time looking. My junior sister isn't in good health, and my master still can't bear to assign her any homework."
Being a disciple of Master Jue is incredibly stressful, as Master Jue is a very strict teacher, something Director Zhong knows.
So when he heard that Su Yan wasn't feeling well, he had no choice but to give up. "Alright then, just pretend I didn't say anything. You guys go to the dorm and make your beds. There are no classes this weekend. Starting next Monday, Su Yan will officially start classes, so she can't be late."
The class schedule and class times are clipped into the notebook. There's also a monthly living allowance of 15.8 yuan, paid on the 1st of each month. Remember to bring your student ID to the finance office to collect it.
"Thank you for the reminder, Director," Su Yan said.
Xie Jin said, "You all go downstairs and wait for me. I need to have a chat with Director Zhong for a bit."
Su Yan and Su Yu responded and then left the office.
Director Zhong looked at him suspiciously, "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
"I'd like to apply for a certificate for my junior sister to stay overnight outside the home," Xie Jin said, explaining that Su Yan's body required long-term acupuncture treatment.
With a certificate for staying overnight outside, Su Yan can stay outside, which should be more convenient for her.
Director Zhong paused for a moment and said, "For the safety of students and other considerations, the school generally does not allow students to stay overnight outside the school, but Su Yan is a disciple of Master Jue... I can apply to the principal for permission."
"That would be too much trouble for you."
Director Zhong glared at him, "Don't be too happy yet, I have requirements."
What are the requirements?
"Su Yan's grades in every exam must be in the top five of the entire department, the top three of her major, and she must also rank in the top three in the practical exam. Is that alright?"
Xie Jin hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, no problem!"
Although the junior sister was physically weak, the master's requirements for her did not decrease because of this.
What Director Zhong said were also the requirements her master had for her, so the junior sister had to meet them.
Director Zhong was satisfied. He picked up the phone, dialed a number, and said, "Wait a few minutes."
...
Ten minutes later.
Xie Jincai came out of the office building.
Su Yu frowned and asked, "Why did it take you so long?"
Xie Jin handed over the certificate of off-campus accommodation stamped with the seals of the principal's office and the department head, saying, "Is this what I need?"
Su Yan leaned her head over.
The next second, her eyes lit up like light bulbs, and she snatched it, excitedly saying, "Proof of overnight stay? Oh my god, senior, you understand me so well!"
With this certificate, things will be so much more convenient for her in the future!
She doesn't necessarily have to live at school, so she doesn't have to rush back before curfew.
Xie Jin shrugged. "There's nothing I can do. You're my junior sister, after all."
Su Yan was overjoyed and rushed up to hug him, "Thank you, Senior Brother!"
Xie Jin was caught off guard by her sudden attack and froze on the spot, unsure of how to react.
"Hey, hey, hey." Su Yu quickly grabbed Su Yan by the neck and pulled her away. "Men and women shouldn't touch each other. Why are you so agitated, girl?"
Su Yan was completely oblivious, and even retorted confidently, "I'm happy! Besides, this is my senior brother, what's wrong with giving him a hug? Am I being a pervert?"
Su Yu... Today was another day I was so angry I could die!
Xie Jin coughed lightly and changed the subject, saying, "Don't be too happy yet, let me finish."
Then he explained Director Zhong's requirements.
Su Yan was giggling a second ago.
The next second, he immediately stopped laughing.
She made a face and before she could even cry out, Xie Jin said, "That's what your master expects of you too, so I think you're guaranteed to make a profit."
Su Yan: Is that really true?!
She suddenly felt less upset and reluctantly said, "Okay, then I can only try my best to run."
Since her master is the most outstanding figure in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, she, as his disciple, absolutely cannot disgrace him.
Xie Jin patted her on the shoulder and said, "Keep it up, junior sister. Your senior brother is looking forward to your future achievements."
The three of them didn't say anything more and drove to the dormitory building A.
Su Yan didn't have much luggage, just two suitcases and some daily necessities that Xie Jin had prepared for her.
Before getting out of the car, Xie Jin said, "Junior sister, you can stay at my apartment. I'm not usually there, so you don't need to rent a place outside."
Su Yan thought for a moment, "Okay, if I have a lot of classes, I'll stay at school; if I have fewer classes, I'll go to your apartment."
Xie Jin responded, "I'll take you there after we've finished cleaning and eaten. There's a spare set of keys inside."
After saying that, he suddenly looked at Su Yu and asked, "Commissar Su shouldn't have any objections, right?"
Su Yu raised an eyebrow. "I wouldn't dare."
Xie Jin chuckled.
The three of them had to register with the dormitory manager before they could enter.
When they arrived at the door of dormitory 304, Su Yan knocked on the door. "Is anyone home?"
