Chapter 573: Capital Merit Ceremony Follow-up
That evening, Chu Yue and Lu Zhanlin attended the dinner after the merit ceremony together, and everyone gathered together happily for dinner.
Lu Zhanlin was in a trance. He lowered his head and laughed foolishly. He couldn't take his eyes off Chu Yue and even forgot to eat. He was a model figure in the military region, but he looked like this. If Captain Xu Feng saw this, he would be so shocked that his eyes would fall out.
He wanted to drag Lu Zhanlin out for a 30-kilometer run, and then ask him whether this man was Lu Zhanlin.
Chu Yue just watched silently without reminding him. It was not a disease anyway, so she didn't need to treat him. Besides, she was quite happy to see Lu Zhanlin like this. The excitement and excitement gushing out of the man's heart turned into reality, which made her feel very good too.
Lu Zhanlin returned to normal in the second half of the dinner. The atmosphere gradually became relaxed and the people around him gradually became familiar with each other. Lu Zhanlin and Chu Yue were the most special people in the crowd.
Because among so many award winners today, they are the only couple.
So many people paid attention to them, and some even came with wine glasses to toast them and congratulate them on winning the awards. They are truly a heroic couple.
Lu Zhanlin declined the other party's toast and said in a gentle and proud tone, "I'm sorry, my lover is pregnant and can't drink."
When others heard it, they realized she was pregnant!
"This is double happiness, your family has three happy events coming together. So I can't drink this glass of wine. I drink it myself, just to share in your happiness. Congratulations."
The other party stopped toasting generously and instead said a bunch of nice and auspicious words.
At the end of the dinner, not only Chu Yue didn't drink a drop of wine, but Lu Zhanlin didn't drink a single glass either. He had to stay sober at all times to take good care of his wife and children, and also because he remembered that Chu Yue had just complained a few days ago that alcohol smelled bad.
Men don't want to be disliked by their wives.
After the dinner, someone sent them back to the guesthouse. It was already around eight or nine o'clock in the evening. Unexpectedly, they saw Professor Zhou again at the same place in the guesthouse.
This time, Professor Zhou came alone without his students. It was obvious that he had something to say to Chu Yue in private.
Lu Zhanlin released Chu Yue's hand, which he had been holding tightly. "Ayue, you talk to Professor Zhou slowly. I'll go upstairs to see Yuanbao first."
"good."
Chu Yue responded and watched Lu Zhanlin go upstairs. After his figure disappeared on the stairs, he walked to Professor Zhou's side.
"Professor Zhou, I'm sorry that the dinner ended a little late and kept you waiting."
"It's okay, these are just small matters. I know you have follow-up arrangements. I came too early and was afraid I'd missed you." Professor Zhou spoke slowly with strong emotions in his voice, "Xiao Chu, although we haven't known each other for long, your abilities and intelligence are extraordinary. I'm here today for one purpose. As the dean of the medical school, I invite you to officially join the medical school, stay in the capital, and work alongside us to promote domestic medical progress. Are you willing?"
"I……"
As Chu Yue started to speak, Professor Zhou suddenly interrupted her. It seemed that he knew Chu Yue's answer, so Professor Zhou tried his best to get it.
"You'll definitely be treated well in medical school. It'll be better than in the army. Just like our group of professors, what do you think?"
"Not just you, but also your lover Lu Zhanlin. I heard that a few years ago, some people hoped that he could stay in the capital. You and your whole family can stay here. Whether it's work and life issues or your children's study problems, we can help solve them."
"The most cutting-edge medical research in the country is all in the capital. We, the old hands, will have to retire one day, and we really need people like you to take over."
After Professor Zhou's speech, Chu Yue was presented with a very tempting invitation, especially Professor Zhou's sincere attitude. He not only admired Chu Yue, but also showed his affection for her like an elder does for a younger person.
This kind of natural fit is the most rare.
Unfortunately... Chu Yue still refused.
She said, "Professor Zhou, thank you for your affirmation of me, your respect for me, and your willingness to treat me so well. But I can't stay in the capital. I have to go back."
"Why?" The usually calm Professor Zhou became excited. "Are you dissatisfied with something? We can continue to discuss it. I will intervene with the organization. Everything is negotiable."
"Professor Zhou, this isn't about the salary. The salary you can offer me is already incredibly good. I might not be able to achieve it even if I work hard my entire life."
"If it's not about treatment, then what's the reason? Could it be... because your lover doesn't agree?"
Professor Zhou could see that Chu Yue and Lu Zhanlin had a very good relationship, so he placed his suspicion on Lu Zhanlin, wondering if Lu Zhanlin was preventing Chu Yue from staying in the capital and deliberately suppressing Chu Yue's development. After all, there are many men who are afraid that their wives will overshadow them.
Chu Yue quickly explained for Lu Zhanlin, "It has nothing to do with my lover. It's my own decision."
Professor Zhou was dumbfounded and asked anxiously, "Why is that?"
Chu Yue said, "Because only the southwest's unique natural environment can cultivate the best Chinese herbal medicines."
Professor Zhou was stunned for a moment, his brows slightly furrowed, with a puzzled look on his face.
Chu Yue said carefully, "Most medical schools in China are currently focusing on Western medicine, striving to catch up with international trends. This also applies to many research projects at medical schools. What about Traditional Chinese Medicine?"
"Traditional Chinese Medicine is a traditional Chinese medicine that is extensive and profound. I only know the basics now, but the number of people studying it is decreasing, and the entire industry is gradually declining. Many Chinese herbal medicines are gradually being forgotten. I want to make my contribution in this area, even if I am the only one on this path, I want to keep going."
"Professor Zhou, let me tell you something. I've partnered with someone to open a Chinese medicine factory and have also rented a hilltop to use as a Chinese herbal medicine cultivation base. You'll see my medicines on the market in the future, and you'll definitely hear a lot of good news about me."
After listening to Chu Yue's words, Professor Zhou was stunned for a long time... He was deeply shocked by what Chu Yue said.
Every word Chu Yue said was indeed about the current situation in the country. When everyone was immersed in the field of Western medicine, they completely forgot about the country's traditional treasures.
This path is not popular in China, and it is even difficult to produce any results. In the current environment, people will laugh at you for being old-fashioned, and you may remain unknown for the rest of your life.
But Chu Yue is determined to keep going on this path.
Professor Zhou saw determination on Chu Yue's young face.
After a long time.
Professor Zhou spoke slowly, "Xiao Chu, I was selfish. Leaving you in the capital would be a waste of you. I'm looking forward to your future and will always be waiting for your good news."
"I will, Professor Zhou."
The two people who shared the same aspirations for medical research smiled at each other.
