Chapter 217 Snatching People
The next day, President Lin of Capital University personally visited them.
When Shen Mo returned home from training in the morning, he found someone talking to the sentry at the entrance of the family compound.
As he was about to enter the family compound, the sentry spotted him and immediately shouted, "Commander Shen!"
Shen Mo looked over.
The sentry saluted Shen Mo and then said, "Commander, this old man is here to see his wife."
Shen Mo observed the other person's age and found that he was slightly younger than Dean Kong.
He's here looking for a wife again.
Shen Mo guessed the other party's identity.
Before he could figure out what was going on, the other person introduced himself, "Comrade soldier, I am the president of Capital University. I apologize for bothering you, but I am here to see your lover."
Principal Lin also looked Shen Mo up and down; he was so young to be a leader in the military.
Huh?!
headmaster?
Shen Mo was startled for a moment, but his expression remained unchanged.
Anyone looking for his wife, or even coming to his door in person, seems to be of unusual status.
He has now learned how to maintain a calm and composed mindset.
The sentry standing nearby was also taken aback. Why would the university president come to their door in person?
Shen Mo confirmed the identification with Principal Lin, had the sentry register the person, and then led them into the family compound.
Today is a day off, and it's the time when people are off work or training and going home for dinner. Shen Mo had just led someone to the gate of his small courtyard when he ran into Sister Li, who was returning from visiting.
Li Xingyue and other women from other families were also with them.
Sister Li said to Shen Mo, "Little Shen, wait a moment. The vegetables I planted are growing well. I'll take some for you to cook for Sister Jiang."
She had barely finished speaking when Li Xingyue, who was standing next to her, suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Principal!"
When Principal Lin heard someone calling him, he looked closely and immediately recognized the person.
He recognized this classmate; he was a student at their capital university.
With thousands of students at the school, it's impossible for him to know every single one. He remembered this student because he remembered the whitening cream that student sold at the school.
The school is certainly responsible for the products sold to students. When the product became popular on campus, the medical department even conducted a special test to confirm that there were no harmful ingredients in it, and then they stopped paying attention to it.
The whitening cream was found to be made from a mixture of various medicinal herbs. Finding the ingredients was not difficult, but successfully formulating the formula was not so easy.
He remembered that the student's surname was Li.
He nodded in acknowledgment.
Li Xingyue was one of the few children from the compound who were admitted to university. The other military wives were surprised by the identity of the old man who came home with Shen Mo.
A flurry of thoughts raced through my mind. As soon as this year's college entrance examination ended, the principal personally came to visit. It seemed that Commander Shen's wife had been admitted to university.
In their minds, anyone who can get into university is extraordinary.
At least their children are either too young or don't have the ability.
After a moment of surprise, Sister-in-law Li realized what was happening, immediately went back to her own yard, grabbed a bunch of vegetables, and handed them to Shen Mo.
After thanking Sister Li, Shen Mo carried the vegetables and led the principal back to his own courtyard.
The moment their door closed, a flurry of discussion erupted.
Commander Shen's wife is quite something; she was featured in the newspaper before, and now the principal has personally come to their door.
Jiang Ning was teaching Huo Zhiqi English when she heard the door open. She knew it was Shen Mo who had returned. When she looked up, she saw Principal Lin next to Shen Mo.
When I met President Lin at Capital Medical University yesterday, she said at the end that she would visit her home.
Shen Mo was still trying to figure out the other party's intentions. He knew his wife had done well on her exam when she came home yesterday.
But my wife took the self-study exam, and she doesn't need to go to school after the results come out. Could it be that the principal thinks his wife did well on the exam and can go to school to study for further education?
But that doesn't make sense either.
My wife applied to Capital Medical University for self-study exams, right? Why is the president of Capital University here?
Jiang Ning was also wondering about Principal Lin's purpose in coming. Could it be that Principal Lin saw her transcript yesterday and wanted her to study at the Capital University?
Or perhaps... the other party intends to invite her to the school to discuss medical techniques?
Jiang Ning had this guess because Dean Kong had said on her behalf yesterday that she had no plans to go to school.
The other party most likely wasn't there to persuade her to go to school.
As for what their true intentions were, we'll have to wait for Principal Lin to reveal it herself; she was just guessing.
Upon seeing that guests had arrived, Zhiqi immediately went into the main room and brought out a chair.
Principal Lin thanked him kindly, and then readily sat down in the chair.
"Dr. Jiang."
He addressed me as a doctor, not a classmate.
Jiang Ning guessed that the other party hadn't come to invite her to enroll.
“Dr. Jiang, although I know nothing about medicine, I trust Old Kong. He said he went through a lot of trouble to get you to the hospital.”
"If I didn't come myself, it would be unreasonable for someone as discerning as Old Man Kong to personally invite you."
After saying all that, he finally revealed his purpose: "Previously, it was just a professor from our school's medical department who wanted to invite you to the school to discuss medical techniques with you in person, but now I've changed my mind and hope you'll agree to teach at the Capital University's medical department."
Jiang Ning knew her current situation; she didn't even have a university diploma, so how could she teach at a school?
She is not opposed to teaching at a school.
She came to this world that she once thought was virtual, but after experiencing so much, everything felt very real.
She witnessed the backward development of this era, the prejudice and discord against traditional Chinese medicine, and gained a different understanding of its development and dissemination.
“Principal Lin, I haven’t received my university degree yet, and I’m also newly pregnant. I may have to wait until I receive my degree before I can agree to your offer of a teaching position.”
She also mentioned her pregnancy, saying that she would give birth next year and receive her graduation certificate, which would be just in time.
Principal Lin said, "You don't need to worry about the graduation certificate. If you'd like, you can transfer your student status to Capital University. Our school has a group of students who graduated early, and I can let you receive your university graduation certificate at the same time as those students who graduated early."
Jiang Ning: "?"
You can play it like this?
Principal Lin added, “Since you are pregnant, you don’t need to rush to teach at the school. You can occasionally take some time to give a lecture on traditional Chinese medicine at the school. However, before that, the school will arrange an exam for you. If you pass the exam, you can receive your graduation certificate at the same time as the batch of students who graduate early.”
Jiang Ning was naturally thrilled to receive her graduation certificate ahead of schedule.
To successfully obtain a graduation certificate from Capital Medical University, one will need to go through several more exams and will have to wait until at least next year.
Principal Lin's words were very appealing to Jiang Ning.
Getting a diploma is just to shut some people up and avoid some trouble. Since we can get a diploma faster now, why not?
She had no reason to refuse.
He immediately agreed to Principal Lin's suggestion.
Just as Jiang Ning agreed to Principal Lin's request, there was a knock on the courtyard gate.
A sentry's voice came from outside, "Commander Shen, an old man surnamed Kong is looking for your wife."
Shen Mo opened the door and led Dean Kong into the courtyard.
Upon seeing Principal Lin, Dean Kong exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you here so early?"
Principal Lin was in a very good mood at the moment. How could he not be happy that the school was about to add a new talent?
Dean Kong was certainly happy that more people would discover and value Jiang Ning's talent, but after yesterday, he suddenly thought, what if Lao Lin directly snatched people from his hospital and made Dr. Jiang no longer work at the hospital?
Thinking of this, he rushed over immediately, but he was still a step too late.
Principal Lin was all smiles. When he saw Dean Kong, he said, "Old Kong, I've convinced Dr. Jiang to teach at the school."
"Teaching?" Dean Kong was taken aback. "Dr. Jiang is pregnant. You know how tiring it is to teach students."
He still remembered that Jiang Ning was pregnant, and she couldn't overwork herself now.
Principal Lin nodded. "I know, that's why I asked Dr. Jiang to give a lecture at the school occasionally before giving birth. We can talk about teaching after Dr. Jiang gives birth."
The Confucius Institute scoffed, "Giving lectures is fine, but teaching is not!"
Dean Lin also got angry, "Dr. Jiang has already agreed, so why are you saying it's not okay?"
Dean Kong said, "Dr. Jiang is now a doctor at our hospital. If I say no, then no!"
Principal Lin said, "Then I'll say that Dr. Jiang agreed herself. Are you going to tie her up in the hospital and not let her leave? How can you be so domineering?"
The two old men, whose combined age was over a hundred, were arguing like children eyeing the same lollipop, neither willing to give in.
The two old men argued more and more fiercely.
Jiang Ning and Shen Mo couldn't get a word in edgewise for the time being.
