With both factories back on track, Bai Yajing felt much more relaxed.
Xiao Ying and Li Da also got married in the first month of the lunar calendar. Bai Yajing gave Xiao Ying two hundred yuan as a dowry, a wardrobe full of new clothes, and a set of furniture as a wedding gift.
Xiao Ying was extremely grateful. Li Da had been transferred back to Kyoto, but she was still working at the Xiao family's place as usual, except that she would go home at night since they lived so close by.
As soon as she arrived at the hospital today, Dean Gao called her into his office.
"Ya Jing, you need to step up your game now!"
Bai Yajing asked suspiciously, "What? Try hard for what? Aren't I trying hard at work every day?"
Dean Gao glared at her angrily, "I'm an old man, I'm going to retire a long time ago!"
Originally, Professor Qian was also going to retire, but in order to cover for you for a few more years and mentor you, he insisted on staying a little longer.
"Do you think you need to work harder? You've only developed one effective drug in the past two years, that's too slow. Put in more effort!"
Dean Gao told her to work harder, but he couldn't help feeling sorry for her.
He had no other choice. In the years of war, most of the skilled doctors died on the battlefield. If they hadn't been protected as a kind of torchbearer and survived, they would have ended up like the two Xiang brothers.
These years of turmoil have meant that schools haven't been able to teach much. If it weren't for the medical families who have passed down their skills, there would truly be a talent gap.
Even so, talented people are rare, and there is a shortage of successors.
He felt sorry for his apprentice but there was nothing he could do; the burden she had to bear was still hers to carry.
Bai Yajing was about to complain that her master was exaggerating, saying that it was already quite good that he had developed a drug in two years!
He realized what he had just said, paused for a moment, and carefully looked at Dean Gao, trying to recall how old his master was this year. Uh... "Hehehe, it seems... he should have retired and enjoyed his retirement a long time ago."
No wonder those cheap doctors have been scrutinizing her medical skills and management so much these past two years; now I understand!
Last year, Director Liu trained a successor who also retired, and this year it's Dean Gao's turn.
"Master, don't worry! I promise I'll do a good job! I definitely won't let you down!"
I'm graduating this year too, and then I'll have a legitimate reason to be a graduate!
She knew that Dean Gao was waiting for her to graduate from university so that he could step down legitimately and let Qian Lao take over, and then she could be promoted to the position of Vice Dean Qian Lao smoothly.
Dean Gao was relieved to see that she had realized it.
"Your third master is also retiring with me this time. It's time for the hospital to recruit new staff."
You should go to your school and investigate this matter further.
"My school? That's fine too. Anyone who can get into Kyoto University is a good prospect. I'll keep an eye on it."
Try to recruit more... oh, no, I mean, bring in more people.
Dean Gao glared at her. "You're so unprofessional! Alright, I know you know what you're doing. Go on, the patients are waiting."
"Okay, sure."
She wasn't sad about the impending separation. She knew Grandpa Gao's house well, and if she missed him, she could just bring a gift and go see him. What was there to be sad about?
She's been to not only the old man's house, but also the homes of several of her hired helpers countless times; she knows them very well.
After finishing her workday, she went to the school library as usual, but she still remembered the old man's instructions and secretly observed promising talents.
Life went on smoothly like that.
It was time to inspect the factory again, and Bai Yajing brought a lot of food with her early in the morning.
The group gathered together and started chatting, and the topic turned to the Xinmuji Furniture Factory.
