Xia Changqing was naturally excited.
He came today to see Master Gu's disciple, but he never expected to meet Master Gu himself.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
It's like God is helping him!
Before anyone could react, Xia Changqing rushed forward and reached out to shake hands with Gu Qingcheng.
His tone was excited, but also flattering.
For the past few months, Gu Qingcheng has been searching for medical books and ancient texts in the medicine city of Diancheng. The work of organizing them has come to an end in the last few days.
Knowing that Niannian was going to be a lecturer in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Tsinghua University, he, as her teacher, felt he should come over in person.
However, before he could even see Jiang Nian, his view was blocked.
Xia Changqing is the chairman of Mingxia Pharmaceutical.
Gu Qingcheng had heard of this name.
However, he himself did not have a good impression of Xia Changqing.
I heard that this Chairman Xia publicly criticized traditional Chinese medicine several times during the large-scale pneumonia outbreak a few years ago. Especially after the development of a special medicine, he completely denigrated traditional Chinese medicine.
With the rise of traditional Chinese medicine and government support in recent years, Xia Changqing has turned his attention to traditional Chinese medicine and wants to transform Mingxia Pharmaceutical into a traditional Chinese medicine company.
It is clear that this pharmaceutical company does not value making good medicines to treat and save lives for ordinary people, but only puts profit first.
Gu Qingcheng also disliked Xia Changqing's fawning gaze.
They did not reciprocate by shaking hands.
I glanced at it indifferently.
"Oh, hello."
As a chief master of traditional Chinese medicine, it's normal for him to have a high-handed attitude given his status and position.
Seeing that his enthusiasm went unanswered, and that Master Gu wouldn't even shake his hand, Xia Changqing wasn't annoyed; he simply withdrew his hand awkwardly.
He continued, "Master Gu, if you have time today, I sincerely invite you to visit our Mingxia Pharmaceutical Company. Our company is now planning to produce traditional Chinese medicine, and it would be my honor to receive your guidance."
"I'm here today to bring my daughter to register for the Traditional Chinese Medicine department, and also to meet your mysterious apprentice. I heard he'll be a lecturer for the first batch of students in the department. I didn't expect you to come first; this is truly a pleasant surprise..."
"Oh?" Gu Qingcheng glanced at her and asked, "Is your daughter a newly admitted student in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine?"
It was only when Gu Qingcheng spoke that Xia Changqing came back to his senses.
He was so excited that he forgot everything.
Just a few dozen minutes ago, Dean Qian announced that Xia Lan's admission had been revoked, so she was no longer considered a newly enrolled student in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
His face flushed.
Of course, they would put all the blame on Jiang Nian.
"Yes, my daughter ranked first in the national entrance examination for the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Tsinghua University this year."
"It's just that some people are malicious and jealous that my daughter is better than her, so they slandered my daughter for cheating on the exam."
"There's such a thing?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingcheng looked up and asked, "Who is accusing your daughter of cheating on the exam?"
Xia Changqing immediately said, "He's just a high school student named Jiang Nian who got into Tsinghua University's Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine through family connections. Master Gu, you don't need to worry about him."
"Master Gu, let me introduce you, this is my daughter..."
Xia Changqing quickly moved aside, intending to pull Xia Lan over and introduce her to Gu Qingcheng.
Xia Lan also took a deep breath, feeling extremely nervous.
No matter what happened before, she must leave a good impression on Master Gu and his apprentice.
However, they saw Master Gu looking behind them, his tone filled with surprise.
“Niannian, they said you hadn’t arrived yet, but here you are.”
—Nian Nian, little girl?
Xia Changqing and Xia Lan were about to step forward when their expressions froze simultaneously.
Who was Master Gu calling out "Niannian girl" to?
He turned his head away almost stiffly.
The next second, Jiang Nian looked over here: "Master, why didn't you tell me before you came here in person?"
Master.
Master?!
Inside and outside the classroom, it felt like a cannonball had been dropped into everyone's head.
My head just exploded!
What's going on?
As everyone knows, Master Gu only had one disciple.
He was the only disciple and the last disciple, receiving Master Gu's true teachings.
Rumor has it that this apprentice is young, and his gender is unknown. It is only said that he has been living abroad.
Jiang Nian, in front of everyone, actually called Master Gu "Master".
what does that mean?
"Wh-what?"
Xia Lan's body trembled violently, completely stunned. "...Jiang Nian, what do you call Master Gu?"
Master Gu frowned and looked at Xia Changqing, who was already in a daze.
"You just said that the person who accused your daughter of cheating on the exam is named Jiang Nian."
"You're not talking about my apprentice, Jiang Nian, are you?"
“Given Niannian’s character, she would never slander others without reason. I think the problem lies with your daughter herself.”
[My apprentice Jiang Nian]
Xia Changqing took a deep breath.
I almost lost my balance and everything went black.
Her voice stammered, "Master Gu, you...you mean, Jiang Nian is your disciple?"
"What? You all still don't know?"
Gu Qingcheng really didn't expect this.
“Old Gu,” Dean Qian stepped forward and gave Xia Changqing a cold snort.
“I personally invited Niannian to be a specially appointed lecturer for this batch of freshmen in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine. She agreed because of our relationship and because she wanted to cultivate more young talents for the cause of traditional Chinese medicine.”
"But today, I've arranged a second round of interviews to finalize the list of new students for the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I'll have Niannian stay in the classroom as an invigilator for now, and once the candidates are selected, I'll have her give a formal self-introduction."
