Lu Anning recalled Dean Wang pulling Yu Hui, and felt a hint of disgust towards him. Someone like him must be dishonest. It would be best if Second Brother resigned.
However, what Tang Jingyuan said was really right, and it might not be as simple as they thought.
At the dinner table just now, almost no one was genuinely happy about this news. Lu Anning understood that his mother's actions had somewhat affected their interests. People are selfish and could never understand his mother's good intentions, but they couldn't back down just because they had just encountered trouble.
The clinic had just begun renovations when the news spread like wildfire. Suddenly, Lu Anning received many calls from wealthy wives in the industry, most of whom she wasn't familiar with, inviting her to afternoon tea, but she rejected them all.
She was wondering why she had suddenly become so popular. Even clients she had worked with were finding excuses to see her. After Lu Anning inquired, she realized that these people were all trying to make appointments to see An Li and Gu Yu for treatment.
"If you want to regulate your body, you can go to the Chinese medicine hospital to see a specialist. There is no need to come to me."
The client smiled on the phone and said, "Mr. Lu, we've all heard that your second brother, Doctor Gu, and Professor An are going to open a Chinese medicine clinic together and take in disciples. I couldn't get an appointment with him before, but now that they're going to see patients, you must find a way to save a number for me."
Lu Anning was stunned for a moment: "Where did you hear that?"
"Everyone in the industry knows that Professor An is going to open a Chinese medicine clinic and recruit apprentices. Hehe! You guys are really smart. Mr. Lu, if you need me in the future, just let me know."
Lu Anning was completely bewildered by what she heard until Ding Wan started to complain. Her friends all used their connections to try to get a consultation number from her after the clinic opened, and some even took the initiative to request to top up their accounts to become senior members so they could have priority access to medical services.
A good thing was gradually spread as a new way for them to make money. No wonder several customers hinted to her on the phone that she should take better care of her in the future.
The news was definitely not spread by one of our own people. Not many people knew about it, so it might have been someone at the dinner party that day.
But if this is passed down, it will completely distort my mother's original intention of opening a clinic. I hope it won't bring any bad influence.
Soon, news of Gu Yu's forced resignation and his subsequent smashing of the dean's office spread and even made the news. The camera caught Gu Yu pointing angrily at Dean Wang, a stark contrast to his image as a benevolent doctor, sparking considerable online controversy.
Some people took the lead in accusing Gu Yu of being hypocritical and not being a kind person in private.
He didn't even want the position of hospital director and forced himself to resign in order to open a traditional Chinese medicine clinic to make more money.
Although the hospital specialist appointment is limited to men, at least there is still a chance, but it is different for private Chinese medicine clinics. Not everyone is qualified to enter. By then, they may not even have the chance to register.
Nowadays, there are no good doctors who are selfless and dedicated. They just rely on their limited abilities to make money crazily.
Suddenly, a lot of criticism of Gu Yu emerged online. Some people started to dig up the fact that Gu Yu and Professor An were planning to open a Chinese medicine clinic together, and all kinds of malicious speculations became more and more frequent.
There's not a single good expert or professor out there. No matter how powerful they are, how many of them are willing to genuinely help ordinary people?
This Professor An, who's in his fifties, has reportedly remained single for years. Could it be that while collaborating with Dr. Gu on new drug research, they developed some hidden personal feelings?
Isn’t it popular these days for rich women to have relationships with younger men?
In public he is a benevolent medical professor, but in private, no one knows what their relationship is.
As soon as this comment was made, many netizens who loved to watch the fun started commenting. They said that the relationship between doctors and nurses in hospitals was chaotic, with many unsavory relationships between colleagues and between doctors and nurses. Now it was just a change of status; as long as there was an exchange of benefits, age didn't matter.
The poor dean wants to retain talents, but he doesn’t have enough strength!
I never thought that these professors and experts would have so much fun in private.
…
Various fantasies were popping up online like mushrooms after rain, each one more outrageous than the last. When Lu Anning saw the last one, he was so angry that he threw the tablet aside.
"I really want to open these people's minds and see what's inside. How could they think that my mother and my second brother have an ulterior motive?"
Tang Jingyuan was good-tempered and tried to coax Lu Anning with bird's nest. "People always try to assume others' thoughts with the utmost malice. Have you yet to see the true nature of human nature? Have you ever seen a doctor resign from a hospital and argue with the hospital director, and have they made the news?"
Lu Anning calmed down and immediately understood Tang Jingyuan's hint.
"You mean, someone is behind this?"
"Think carefully! Didn't all this happen after our dinner that day? It's just that some people couldn't sit still anymore."
"Mom will definitely be mad if she sees this."
"Then you underestimate her! Mom has seen a lot of ups and downs, she wouldn't care about such a small thing. Since she decided to open a Chinese medicine clinic, she must have considered that these things might happen. Besides, these people are not wrong."
Lu Anning was stunned: "What did you say?"
"The professor's relationship with your mother and daughter, and mother and son, has indeed not been exposed to the public for the time being."
Lu Anning was speechless. It’s not that she hadn’t considered this issue.
However, my mother is a celebrity. If this relationship is made public, the reporters will definitely dig up the past. For my mother, this will undoubtedly open her wounds and rub salt into them.
She didn't want her mother to suffer unnecessary harm!
The clinic hasn't even opened yet, and there's already so much negative news. This is not a good sign.
They did not deliberately suppress it. The online public opinion became more and more intense, and various negative speculations continued to emerge, but this did not defeat their determination to run a traditional Chinese medicine clinic.
Three days later, Gu Yu publicly announced on his official account that he was recruiting disciples who were keen on learning Chinese medicine. They could first register through the official account, and after passing the test by him and Professor An, they could successfully become apprentices in the medical clinic.
When people saw that the only requirement for registration was a passion for traditional Chinese medicine, and that there wasn't even the most basic educational requirement, the internet went wild.
For those who have wanted to learn but missed the opportunity, this is undoubtedly the best news. And those college students who have already started studying are amazed. If someone with good character can become an apprentice to a top professor, then what are they?
Looking at the professor of traditional Chinese medicine in front of me who seemed to be very knowledgeable, I suddenly felt that it was not so attractive.
Many college students said that they don’t need to attend classes in school anymore, so they might as well sign up to be apprentices in medical clinics. Wouldn’t that be a better future?
At this point, someone stood up and questioned whether it was so easy to become an apprentice of an internationally renowned professor?
Could it be a liar?
