Chapter 208 This is a rare talent
The fact that Chief Zhou suddenly spoke up shows that he greatly admires her.
Even for a high-ranking official, getting approval for this matter can be quite troublesome.
Zhou Shen looked at Du Ruoxia with a look of surprise and delight, eagerly anticipating her agreement.
The army's medics are all veterans, and they're always causing trouble for the lower-ranking soldiers.
Every time I go to them for a medical checkup, they do this and that test, a whole bunch of tests, and the actual consultation only takes two minutes. I don't know whose time is being wasted.
Not only that, they even hesitated to see a doctor for a minor illness, completely unlike what one would expect from a veteran military doctor with one or two decades of experience.
It's possible that there were only four military doctors in the unit, and they were all old guys.
They always like to put on airs because they are older and more experienced.
The soldiers in the unit would talk about them in private, but they didn't dare to confront them directly.
After all, as long as they are in the military, they will inevitably get sick at some point.
If you accidentally offend them and give them a hard time, they could lose their lives here.
Therefore, although the people below complained about them, they dared not speak out.
Zhou Shen took the initiative to praise Du Ruoxia today, and that was exactly what he was planning.
Du Ruoxia was young and skilled in medicine, and she was quick and efficient when treating patients, so the soldiers respected her greatly.
Du Ruoxia usually looks cold and aloof, but she is very gentle when treating patients.
You might say she's gentle, but when she sets someone's bones, she's quick and decisive, sometimes so fast that the person doesn't even feel the pain.
Du Ruoxia's ability to be cold when she should be cold and warm when she should be warm, perfectly balancing softness and firmness, quickly won over both Dr. Liu and Dr. Wu.
If she can become a military doctor, the soldiers will be blessed, and those old guys will finally have some peace and quiet.
Zhou Shen helped not only Du Ruoxia, but also all the other soldiers.
"I'm afraid it's not suitable for someone like me, with my unorthodox skills, to become a military doctor."
Du Ruoxia smiled slightly and politely declined Chief Zhou's request.
Chief Zhou frowned slightly, somewhat surprised.
If Du Ruoxia agrees to become a military doctor, she will have a formal position and will be able to stay in the army for a long time.
She earns a considerable income each month, and if she performs well, she can be recognized as an outstanding employee.
The job of a military doctor is different from that of a soldier.
Soldiers who reach a certain age without being promoted to officer must retire.
Military doctors are valued more for their age; age doesn't matter as long as their medical skills are good.
If Du Ruoxia agrees, it will mean she has a secure job for life.
Such a good thing, others would beg and plead for it, but Du Ruoxia refused so easily.
Does she not care about the military's organizational structure? Does she look down on the military's salary? Is that why she rejected him so decisively?
"Dr. Du is young, has excellent medical skills, and is very capable. During his time as a military doctor, he has earned the recognition of all the soldiers in the army."
"Although Dr. Du has not attended a formal medical school and can be considered self-taught, as long as he can win people's respect and Chief Zhou is willing to help him, I think there will be no problem."
Zhou Shen, fearing that Du Ruoxia would not agree, spoke a lot in front of her.
Chief Zhou smiled as he looked at Du Ruoxia, awaiting her reply.
Zhou Shen looked up at her, as did another officer.
Du Ruoxia remained calm. She composed herself and seriously considered the feasibility of the matter.
Being a military doctor has many advantages, but it also means that she has to stay in the military base every day.
From now on, she will have to ask for leave even if she wants to go out, which restricts her behavior too much.
She has so many things to do: open a factory, develop new drugs, and manage her family affairs.
If you stay in the military every day, you can still treat and save lives, but you will completely lose your personal freedom.
With Du Ruoxia's current abilities, she cannot stand such constraints.
Although Zhou Shen meant well and kept speaking up for her, Du Ruoxia politely declined after careful consideration.
"I'm sorry, I can't agree to that."
When Du Ruoxia refused for the second time, Chief Zhou's expression changed.
He had initially admired the girl, but now he realized she was a bit ungrateful.
Du Ruoxia rejected something that others dreamed of, after only a few minutes of thought.
Was she unaware of the benefits of being a military doctor, or was she afraid that she wouldn't be able to fulfill the role?
"Why?"
Chief Zhou remained silent with a stern face, but Zhou Shen immediately pressed for an answer.
There were three people watching her, and they were three highly respected leaders.
Two of them were older and could be considered her elders.
They meant well by making her a military doctor, and Du Ruoxia should give a reasonable reason even if she wants to refuse.
"There are three reasons. First, besides performing surgery, I also enjoy making medicine. Second, I co-own a factory, and although I don't usually manage it, there are some key tasks that I need to handle."
"Third, and most importantly, some things happened in my family recently. Being a military doctor has many benefits, but it also brings more responsibilities. I need to spend all my time in the military, so I can't do my own things."
"Commander Zhou and Division Commander Zhou wanted me to be a military doctor. This was actually a sign of their respect for me and also a consideration for my future."
"I appreciate your kind offer, but I really can't do it right now."
“I know exactly what I want and I don’t want to hesitate about anything, which is why I gave an answer so quickly.”
"If my actions have disappointed you, I apologize for letting you down."
Du Ruoxia spoke calmly and sincerely, and her humble yet assertive attitude impressed Chief Zhou.
I was just a little prejudiced against her, but now I realize that I was being narrow-minded.
Du Ruoxia had so many things to do, even more meaningful than being a military doctor, no wonder she gave up such a good career.
But such an excellent doctor, the military would also be at a loss if it lost her.
How can we achieve the best of both worlds?
"Will you still make your own medicine?"
Zhou Shen was very interested in this matter.
"Yes, most of the medicines I usually use to treat the soldiers are ones that I developed myself."
Du Ruoxia paused here, and Commander Zhou looked at her with a serious expression.
No wonder Du Ruoxia treats illnesses so quickly and her prescribed medicines are so effective.
Moreover, those medicines were not available on the market, and he was suspicious at the time, wondering where they came from.
Now, after hearing Du Ruoxia's explanation, I realize that she was the one who made the medicine herself.
It's normal for a doctor to treat patients and prescribe medicine, but it's somewhat unbelievable that a doctor could also make medicine himself.
Du Ruoxia is unusually young; she possesses these abilities at such a young age, making her a rare talent.
After hearing her explanation, Chief Zhou became even more interested in her.
She is very capable and has unique ideas.
Zhou Shen had already told him about the problems with the other military doctors.
The military leaders were also very troubled and didn't know how to handle the situation.
