Chapter 163 Whatever makes you happy
Dean Huang felt a mix of emotions. He never expected that at his age, he would be able to take on a disciple, especially such a smart and good disciple as Cen Yan.
“Cen Yan, you should think this through. If you become my apprentice, you may have a very tiring job. You will not only have to do the work of a nurse, but also sometimes in emergency situations, you will have to go out with me for consultations, practice, and accumulate experience.”
"Moreover, my apprentices must pass the examination to obtain a medical license and become a real doctor, not a barefoot doctor who knows a little bit of medicine and can treat people."
"Are you prepared for this?"
Cen Yan laughed, "Master, even if you didn't say it, I planned to learn by myself and then wait for a suitable opportunity to take the medical licensing exam. Otherwise, what's the point of learning so many medical skills on my own? I can just be a nurse."
"If you don't believe me, we can make a bet. If I fail the certification exam, you can expel me from your school to avoid ruining your reputation, how about it?"
"Not necessarily. As long as you are mentally prepared for this, have a kind heart and good skills, and do your best for the patients, then you will be my good apprentice!"
Dean Huang was overjoyed. "Cen Yan, since you've made up your mind, from today onwards, you are my personal apprentice, Huang Yuchang! Cen Yan, you must remember to uphold medical ethics as the foundation and shoulder the responsibility of treating and saving lives!"
"I swear that from now on I will strictly abide by medical ethics and treat every patient with equal care and respect. I will maintain my professional competence and continue to learn and improve myself. Master, please accept my bow." Seeing that Dean Huang was so serious, Cen Yan followed the rules and knelt down to perform the apprenticeship ceremony, holding the enamel mug.
Dean Huang couldn't bear to let his precious apprentice kneel down, so he quickly helped him up. "No need for such a grand ceremony. I'll drink this apprenticeship tea—no, apprenticeship water! Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now. Remember to come to the medical team early tomorrow to help out. Your consultation table is set up next to mine so I can keep an eye on things."
“Master, it’s getting late. Why don’t you stay for dinner? I brought a lot of ingredients from the city. Today I’m officially becoming your disciple, so we need a decent dish. I’ll ask Qi Jingchuan to come back and have a couple of drinks with you.” Cen Yan invited Dean Huang with a smile, having already decided what to cook for him tonight.
Dean Huang shook his head and refused, "It's too much trouble. Besides, you used all the grain you brought to the countryside to treat the comrades in the army to meals. How much grain would you have left? You're being very strange. Qi Jingchuan is on military duty. You want him to come back and have a drink with me? Isn't that a violation of discipline?"
"Hehe..." Cen Yan was so happy that she would have a mentor in the medical field that she didn't think about all that.
Dean Huang continued, "If you want to treat Master to a meal, then we can talk about it when we get back to the city and have some free time!"
Cen Yan nodded, "Okay, I'll do whatever Master says. I'll get ready here. I won't let you down at tomorrow's free clinic."
This is her first step in transitioning from a nurse to a true healer. In any case, she only allows herself to shine, rather than hide her talents or keep a low profile.
When Qi Jingchuan returned that evening, Cen Yan told him the good news that she had become his apprentice.
A hint of surprise flashed in Qi Jingchuan's deep, dark eyes. "You've become Dean Huang's apprentice and are learning medicine?"
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Cen Yan was still in high spirits.
Qi Jingchuan shook his head, "No, whatever makes you happy."
