Seeing that Lu An Ning suddenly stopped talking, Tang Jingyuan revealed her worries.
"Are you worried that your father was involved in the Gong family incident?"
Lu Anning nodded silently. "You know what kind of person he is, even without me telling you. Besides, Mr. Gong and my mother were quite close back then. Forget it! There's no point in worrying. He's back now, and we won't be friends with the Gong family anyway."
"If that were the case, your father would have warned Big Brother and taken precautions. You, on the other hand, are simply overly worried. Everyone worries, but you never think about your own health. You're only putting more strain on your body."
"It's not as exaggerated as you say. I just don't want to think about it."
The two chatted and laughed, and changed the topic to a lighter one, and the atmosphere became lively.
The decoration of the clinic is almost complete. An Li just needs to find time to go there in person to see what is missing. Once everything is purchased, they can choose a good day to open it.
"How's the apprentice recruitment going on the official account? Are there many people?"
"We've already done the statistics. After the first round of screening, there are still over a hundred. Before we open, we'll have Mom and Second Brother personally meet these people and screen out those who are not suitable, so as to avoid too many people and cause trouble."
"Mom said that we'll have time in a few days, and then we can do these two things together."
Lu Anning was still thinking that the clinic would proceed smoothly. Unexpectedly, just before the second round of interviews, a post suddenly appeared online, once again questioning the purpose of opening the clinic, attracting a lot of attention.
This time, there really wasn't anyone behind the scenes fanning the flames.
The person who posted the accusation was a third-year student at the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. He claimed that he had received scholarships every academic year during his three years at the university and had learned the school's courses very well.
He signed up confidently, hoping to become Professor An's disciple. He thought it was just a small test on the official account and there was no chance of being eliminated.
He had been eliminated in the first round. If that were all, he wouldn't have been angry. The most important thing was that another classmate he knew, who wasn't as good as him in any of his academic subjects at school, had passed the first round of the clinic's exams. This had deeply shocked him.
In the post, the male university student spoke passionately about the huge gap between himself and the classmate who passed the test. So the question arises: the poor student passed the test, but the top student was eliminated.
The truth is, the poor student is a local Kyoto resident and his family has a little money. Unlike the top student, his family is from a rural area in another province. The whole village knows he has a promising future and is waiting for him to make a fortune after graduation and bring honor to the family.
Now, he couldn't even pass the first round of screening test of a medical clinic. If this were to spread back to his hometown, how would he still have the face to save his face!
For those who study Chinese medicine, becoming a disciple of Professor An or a master of traditional Chinese medicine would be a great honor. He went for their fame, but he didn't expect to be eliminated in the first round.
The more the college student thought about it, the more confused he became. The only thing that made him worse than that poor student was his family background.
Unconvinced, he wrote this post online overnight, cursing An Li and Gu Yu for being hypocritical and claiming to be kind but actually trying to make money.
"What they call equality for all and fair selection is actually a backroom deal. Truly capable people aren't chosen as disciples, but rather idiots. No wonder there are so many quacks in the world. They say all this, but it's all for the money. It's all just empty talk!"
Many people took the test, as there was no educational requirement. However, the test questions on this official account were designed by An Li and Gu Yu themselves, so how could there be any manipulation?
Lu Anning glanced at the comments below the post, and there were also mixed opinions. Some said the test was fair and not just testing theoretical foundations, while others complained that some of the questions were strange and had nothing to do with Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Lu Anning was tired of reading and turned off the computer.
With previous experience, Lu Anning was much calmer this time.
There would naturally be no problem with the test selection. Since the students were just complaining about themselves, it would be fine in a few days, so Lu Anning had no intention of dealing with it.
The second round of selection interviews will be held in three days, and Lu Anning also wants to go and take a look.
An Li said that she didn't need to know Chinese medicine, she just wanted to go with her to see the various forms of life. When accepting disciples, Chinese medicine practitioners also look at their liking, not just their academic performance.
If that were the case, she could just go directly to the medical school and choose those with excellent grades. Why bother with all this effort?
With so many people, the interview process alone would take three or four days. Even if you passed the second round, there was still a three-month internship. Only those who truly persevered would, after six months, undergo the apprenticeship ceremony and truly become An Li's disciples.
Lu Anning looked up at the sky and saw that the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Tomorrow should be a good day.
Before going to bed, An Li specifically reminded Lu An Ning to arrive at the clinic on time before nine o'clock.
Nestled in Tang Jingyuan's arms, Lu Anning changed to a comfortable position and hugged him tightly.
"Do you think tomorrow will go smoothly? I hope those people don't try to stir up trouble again!"
"Don't worry! I've already given you my warning. Anyone who dares to cause trouble tomorrow means they don't want to stay in Kyoto anymore."
Lu Anning sighed softly, smiled and hugged Tang Jingyuan tightly.
"How lucky am I to have met you! Husband, I will definitely rely on you for the rest of my life."
A man's deep laughter came from above: "Whatever you want! I wish you would stick to me every day."
After a dreamless night, Lu An Ning woke up at dawn. Warm sunlight streamed onto the bedroom floor. Lu An Ning got up, stretched, and, refreshed, set off with great anticipation.
Although only more than 40 people were scheduled for interviews that day, when she arrived at the clinic, there were already quite a few people sitting and waiting in the lobby.
The clinic was beautifully decorated, with portraits of famous doctors from ancient times hanging on the walls. Even before entering, the air was already filled with the aroma of medicine. Everyone was holding a cup of health tea specially blended by the clinic.
Strange faces were looking at everything around them curiously, their eyes full of anticipation.
Seeing Lu Anning, the person in charge of the on-site interview hurried over to greet him.
"Miss Gu!"
"Thank you for your hard work! Are Professor An and Doctor Gu here yet?"
As soon as she asked, she saw Gu Yu and An Li walking in together. For a moment, the people who came for the interview stood up, scrambling to see the true faces of An Anli and Gu Yu.
An Li smiled warmly and took the initiative to greet everyone. The atmosphere was particularly lively, not at all like a tense interview. Many people whispered that Professor An and Doctor Gu were very approachable and had no airs at all.
Kind people always have a face that makes people want to get close to them.
When the atmosphere was just right, an extremely abrupt voice suddenly emerged from the crowd.
"Professor An Li is so hypocritical and sanctimonious! Don't be fooled by her hypocritical appearance. This so-called fair interview is just a formality to deceive you, the uninformed. They have already decided on this disciple position. They are liars!"
