Chapter 410 If Dr. Jiang has no authority, then do I have any?
Jiang Ning glanced at the reporters.
The female reporter smiled and said, "Dr. Jiang, you go first. We can do the interview anytime."
Jiang Ning smiled and nodded, then followed Jiang Yue to the other side of the lobby.
When Jiang Yue arrived at a group of elderly scholars dressed in Zhongshan suits, he introduced them to each other.
Jiang Ning used to be in the newspapers, so everyone knew about her.
However, seeing how young Jiang Ning was, everyone was still somewhat dazed.
Soon someone said, "Dr. Jiang, we are not professionals in traditional Chinese medicine and do not know much about it, but you are the first person to publish a paper on the topic of traditional Chinese medicine, so we have approved your manuscript."
Hearing this, Jiang Ning looked up. He meant that her paper was accepted because it was on the topic of traditional Chinese medicine.
"Dr. Jiang, the reason I invited you here privately is to ask you whether you have had your thesis ghostwritten?"
"Dr. Jiang is so young, can she really write such a paper?"
Shen Mo, who came with his wife, felt very uncomfortable hearing these words.
What these people are implying is that they are questioning the wife's professional competence.
But he wasn't in his wife's field of expertise, so he didn't feel comfortable speaking up for her.
Jiang Yue hadn't expected these experts to be so sharp in their comments.
Regarding Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), although it is gradually gaining recognition, many people still hold a wait-and-see attitude.
Moreover, Jiang Ning is too young, which inevitably leads to some disdain.
However, Jiang Ning wasn't angry at all. She suddenly laughed out loud, "Since you think I'm young and don't have the authority to write such a paper, then why did you approve my manuscript? Is it just because the topic of my paper is Traditional Chinese Medicine?"
Jiang Ning looked at the experts in front of her.
She said, "Since you all question my paper and my medical expertise, why did you approve my manuscript in the first place?"
Several experts said, "We just thought Dr. Jiang was too young and lacked authority, which is why we asked you to come and give him some pointers."
Jiang Ning gave a sarcastic smile, looking at their words that were piercing to the heart, "Whether I have authority or not is none of your business. These days, anyone can be an expert. You didn't just approve my manuscript for that little review fee, did you?"
The country had just emerged from a dark decade, and almost every old scholar felt insecure.
Now, with the title of expert, you can get paid just by reviewing a few manuscripts. Anyone would want to do that job.
Caught off guard by Jiang Ning's sarcastic remark, the experts' expressions changed. "You..."
At this moment, the director of the General Military Hospital walked over.
"If Dr. Jiang doesn't have authority, then do I?"
The director of the General Military Hospital became famous very early on, and these experts are also from the medical field, so they shouldn't be unable to recognize the director's face.
Shen Mo accompanied the dean.
Seeing that these people weren't saying anything nice to his wife, he immediately went and invited the dean, who was loitering in the lobby, over.
The dean had only met Jiang Ning once and thought she was only interested in medicine, unaware of her quick wit.
Unexpectedly, her few words silenced the experts' arrogance.
The experts, upon seeing the "authorities" of China's medical community, immediately fell silent.
They knew Jiang Ning was famous in the capital, but they didn't know she even knew the director of the General Military Hospital.
The dean looked at Jiang Yue and said, "You're the editor-in-chief of the journal, right? Can't you find a more professional expert to help you find someone?"
Jiang Yue was aware of this person's status and position. He himself was a medical student, but his understanding of traditional Chinese medicine was not very deep. That's why he invited several experts to review Jiang Ning's paper together.
Unfortunately, they only have a superficial understanding of traditional Chinese medicine.
He only approved Jiang Ning's paper after witnessing the gradual acceptance of traditional Chinese medicine by the people.
As for what these experts are all about.
It's nothing more than suppressing newcomers because they're young.
But their suppression backfired, and they ended up getting kicked instead, thus losing face.
Jiang Yue immediately said, "There are no authoritative TCM doctors in the country. I only went through with Dr. Jiang's 'Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine' because of her reputation in the capital."
The dean glanced at him indifferently and snorted, "You have good taste."
"Dr. Jiang's TCM skills are superb; she is already an expert in this field. There are many people studying TCM now. I think if your journal needs to review papers related to TCM in the future, you can ask Dr. Jiang to help review them. Dr. Jiang is a senior expert in the field of TCM."
Anyway, with Jiang Ning's 'life-saving pill' in his hands, and even the entire military, she could be protected for life. Given this opportunity to enhance her reputation, he would naturally recommend her more.
Jiang Ning listened silently as the dean flattered her.
It's a tonic.
She didn't really want to take on another job.
The director of the General Military Hospital vouched for him.
Jiang Yue was also a very perceptive person. He looked at Jiang Ning with pleasure and invited her, "Dr. Jiang, because you were the first person to submit a paper on traditional Chinese medicine, I am very sorry for this incident. Now there are more and more people studying traditional Chinese medicine, and I really don't know any senior experts in the field. I hope that you can help review papers on traditional Chinese medicine in the future."
Jiang Ning: "......" Can she say she doesn't want to?
Furthermore, she's a newcomer who only submitted one manuscript, and suddenly she became a paper reviewer. Is it really that easy to play around?
The other experts never expected that the newcomers they could criticize at will would rise to the positions they had worked so hard to achieve over decades.
They were all dumbfounded.
However, the director of the General Military Hospital was an authority figure they dared not provoke.
This was just a minor incident at the exchange meeting.
Soon, the doctors from abroad also began to arrive at the hotel lobby.
For a moment, Chinese and English were mixed together in the lobby.
The medical equipment in Country M is quite good. Some Western doctors who have been abroad before can communicate with foreign doctors in broken but understandable English.
The exchange meeting was held with the aim of exchanging medical skills.
Domestic medical technology has developed quite well now, but they are still willing to humbly learn from others.
Learning has no end.
Everyone now knows that we are lagging behind in many aspects, and only by studying hard can we promote the advancement of medicine in China.
Scholarship knows no borders; most people think so.
While these foreign faces are eye-catching, Jiang Ning is even more so among the group of middle-aged and elderly faces.
Anyone who knows Jiang Ning will approach her in the lobby to discuss things.
Jiang Ning didn't hold back; she answered all the questions asked by the doctors who had some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine.
Everyone was surprised by Jiang Ning's generosity. Many people in their own fields tend to be more reserved and wouldn't be so open to teaching.
In no time, more and more people came to talk to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning's mouth was dry from talking so much.
Shen Mo stayed quietly by his wife's side the whole time.
Offer your wife a glass of water when necessary.
He enjoys watching his wife shine in her field, which makes him feel very accomplished and proud—proud to have married her.
