Chapter 39 Rejected
"Wow, you know quite a lot, girl."
Jiang Ning's hands didn't stop moving as she carefully dug out the wild red Ganoderma lucidum. "If you read a lot of books, you'll naturally understand."
Hearing Jiang Ning say that she understood the book made her eyes even brighter.
Talented people are rare, even among hundreds or thousands; when you encounter one, they are truly exceptional.
"Old man, besides identifying medicinal herbs, what else can you do?"
Jiang Ning thought for a moment, "I know a little about acupuncture, a little about dispensing medicine, and a little about massage and manipulation."
The old man, a man with discerning eyes, extended an invitation: "Young lady, I own a clinic. Would you like to work there?"
"Work?"
The old man nodded and said, "Yes, you can keep the fees you collect from treating patients, but I won't be paying you a salary."
Jiang Ning's eyes lit up. This old man was indirectly providing her with a place to practice her skills, and he didn't even accept kickbacks for providing her with a place to get medical treatment.
Are there really people that stupid?
Why is she so skeptical?
Is this old man a human trafficker?
As Jiang Ning thought about it more and more, it seemed more and more likely. Just as she was racking her brains to figure out how to knock the old man out and hand him over to the police station, someone tugged at her sleeve.
Jiang Ning turned around, and Huo Zhiqi tugged at her clothes and said, "Auntie...Auntie, he is the old man from Dexing Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic, five miles away from the family compound."
Upon hearing Zhiqi say that the other party was indeed a doctor, Jiang Ning suddenly felt a little embarrassed, as she had just thought he was a human trafficker.
Jiang Ning felt a little apologetic for misunderstanding the other person.
Doctors deserve a lot of respect, and Jiang Ning was very grateful to the other party for letting her work at his clinic. "Thank you for the invitation, I will consider it."
The old man didn't say much when he heard that she needed to consider it. "Alright, I won't force you. You can come anytime you want."
After the strange old man left, Jiang Ning picked some more herbs, filled Zhiqi's little basket, and went home.
During dinner that evening, Jiang Ning mentioned to Shen Mo that she wanted to go to work.
Shen Mo put down his chopsticks and listened attentively to Jiang Ning's words before speaking, "Work? Why do you suddenly want to work? Is it because you don't have enough money?"
Jiang Ning said, "It's not that I don't have enough money, it's that I can't just sit around and do nothing. Staying at home all the time is a bit boring."
Although Shen Mo had the idea that his wife could stay at home for the rest of her life, he quickly dismissed it. His wife was a capable person and shouldn't be confined to the house like that.
Shen Mo asked, "Have you decided what kind of job you want? Do you need me to ask around for you?"
Jiang Ning said with a smile, "I know a little about medicine and plan to develop my skills in that area."
Hearing her mention medical skills, Shen Mo recalled how Sister-in-law Li praised Jiang Ning for saving her daughter. "Okay, then I'll ask the camp's medical room if they're hiring."
For Jiang Ning, it doesn't matter where she works, as long as she has a place to work.
Jiang Ning nodded, "Then you can ask. It doesn't matter if it works out or not. There's a clinic not far from the family compound. If it doesn't work out, I'll go to the clinic to ask."
Jiang Ning knew Shen Mo was quick, but she didn't expect it to be this fast. The next morning, after he returned from training, he asked Jiang Ning to have lunch and then go to the camp with him. The camp medical staff wanted to see her.
Jiang Ning didn't hesitate either. After lunch, she waited for Shen Mo to finish washing the dishes before the two of them went to the camp together.
Upon arriving at the camp gate, Jiang Ning had to register as usual, and Shen Mo accompanied her.
As the two were registering, a young and beautiful girl suddenly walked over.
Yan Liyue didn't expect to run into Shen Mo here, but her expression turned sour when she saw Jiang Ning standing next to her.
Seeing Jiang Ning registering, she walked over, leaned against the edge of the pavilion, and smiled at the sentry registering, "I don't need to register my face, right?"
She came and went in the camp every day and had long been familiar with the place. The sentries who knew her didn't need her to register at all.
To everyone's surprise, the somewhat unfamiliar sentry said in a serious tone, "Dr. Yan, although you are a staff member of the camp medical office, you are still considered an unofficial staff member. You must register when entering and leaving the camp."
Yan Liyue's expression changed. She had originally wanted to show off her special qualities to Jiang Ning, but she was unexpectedly humiliated.
Feeling slighted, Yan Liyue stomped her foot angrily, "I didn't need to register when I came a couple of days ago."
Upon hearing this, Shen Mo frowned.
He said, "The military camp is a highly confidential place. Even if you know someone well, you must register before you can enter. That's the rule."
He didn't look at anyone when he said this. After helping Jiang Ning register, he looked up at the sentry and said, "Find the sentries who were on duty the past two days. Those who neglected their duties will have their training doubled today."
The sentry saluted Shen Mo. "Yes, Deputy Regiment Commander!"
Shen Mo didn't even glance at Yan Liyue while he was speaking.
After registering, Shen Mo led Jiang Ning into the camp area.
Yan Liyue looked at the two figures, one tall and one short, who seemed quite well-matched, and bit her lower lip.
After making several inquiries, she learned that Shen Mo was in a military region in the capital. Once she found out his location, she chased after him without hesitation, only to discover that Shen Mo was already married.
She came here to get closer to Shen Mo and to start a relationship with him.
From the day Shen Mo descended from the sky to save her, she had already decided that she would be devoted to Shen Mo for the rest of her life.
It's impossible for two people to be together without some conflicts. If Shen Mo and Jiang Ning get divorced in the future, that will be her opportunity.
I wish this opportunity would come soon.
Shen Mo took Jiang Ning to the infirmary and left. When Yan Liyue entered the infirmary, the infirmary administrator, the political commissar, was questioning Jiang Ning.
She listened for a couple of sentences before realizing that Jiang Ning had come to apply for a job at the infirmary.
The political commissar was still asking Jiang Ning what she could do when Yan Liyue suddenly interjected, "Which prestigious medical school did Comrade Jiang graduate from?"
Without giving Jiang Ning a chance to answer, he continued, "Do you have a teacher who teaches you step by step?"
Jiang Ning glanced sideways at the rude woman.
Is this targeting her?
Jiang Ning said, "My family was poor before, and I never went to school. I learned everything on my own."
Yan Liyue was good at grasping the key points. She said with a rather shocked tone, "So you're saying you never went to school and never had a teacher. All the medical knowledge you know is self-taught?"
Jiang Ning detected a hint of disdain in her words.
"I taught myself," Jiang Ning admitted. Considering the original owner's own situation, what the woman said was indeed correct.
"Oh my god, so he's just a barefoot doctor with only a little medical skill." Yan Liyue opened her mouth wide exaggeratedly and turned to the political commissar, saying, "Political Commissar Chen, the health of the soldiers is the most important thing. With Comrade Jiang's medical skills, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult for him to be competent."
Before Political Commissar Chen could speak, she said to Jiang Ning, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Yan Liyue. My father is the chief of staff, and I graduated from Heilongjiang Medical University. My mentor is now working at the Heilongjiang Military Region Hospital. I am still just an external staff member in the medical office. Your abilities are probably not enough for you to work in the military region right now."
Yan Liyue possesses the unique pride of a cadre's child. When she mentions her background and education, her eyes radiate confidence, and she finally lets out the breath she had been holding back at the camp gate.
Jiang Ning saw that her eyes and nostrils were practically pointing to the sky. With her background and abilities, a little arrogance was harmless.
The other party was targeting her simply because of Shen Mo. In fact, she had been observing Political Commissar Chen just now, especially after hearing him say that he had never been to school and had not systematically studied medicine, Jiang Ning knew from the expression on his face that this job was definitely not going to work out.
In terms of resume, she is far inferior to Yan Liyue.
They have both connections and education.
Very well, she has nothing she wants.
When Yan Liyue saw that Jiang Ning didn't speak, she knew that Jiang Ning had been rendered speechless by her retort, and her vanity was immediately filled.
What good is a mere physical appearance? It can't be eaten.
Political Commissar Chen looked at Jiang Ning, then at Yan Liyue, and inexplicably felt that something was crackling between him and the two girls in front of him.
However, he is now more focused on Jiang Ning.
Although Yan Liyue's questions were somewhat related to Jiang Ning's self-esteem, they were indeed a useful stepping stone.
The reason he agreed to let Jiang Ning come over was because of Shen Mo; he had thought it would be fine for Jiang Ning to do odd jobs in the infirmary.
But now he has neither academic qualifications nor experience, and is even a self-taught amateur without a teacher.
Yan Liyue is right. The health of the soldiers is very important, and he cannot risk their health.
