Sitting in the car, watching the scenery rushing past outside, Li Chu recalled what Dean Chen had just told him.
As he was leaving after the meeting, Dean Chen called him back.
"Xiao Chu, we recommended you when the four departments under the Chinese Academy of Sciences were selecting committee members."
Li Chu felt his eyes bulging out of their sockets.
He turned his head to look at the passersby around him and said in a low voice, "Old Chen, this is too exaggerated. I'm only forty-three this year."
Dean Chen waved his hand: "We are just making recommendations. We old guys all think you are good enough. As for who will be selected in the end, that is decided by the Chinese Academy of Sciences."
Li Chu shook his head slightly: "Old Chen, this is a rare opportunity, but I still think you guys are a bit too impatient."
"Haha," Dean Chen patted his shoulder, "We know whether it's suitable or not, and everyone approves of you, so don't feel any pressure."
Putting aside your medical skills, just your book on the basics of traditional Chinese medicine and those few case studies are enough to qualify you.
The book on the fundamentals of traditional Chinese medicine compiled by Li Chu took five years to complete its rough draft, and after discussions with many famous TCM doctors across the country, it underwent three revisions in total. It has now been included in an educational series by both the education and health departments.
Furthermore, all medical schools have decided to use this book as their textbook.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen."
"No need to be polite with me. If the General Logistics Department approves your appointment as an external professor, just teach those little kids well."
After saying that, Dean Chen sighed again: "Sigh, I shouldn't have agreed to let you enlist in the army and go to the main hospital back then, otherwise we wouldn't have had so much trouble."
Li Chu had no answer to this, so he could only awkwardly touch his nose.
That's all, I'm leaving.
In the jeep, Li Chu awoke from his reverie.
To be honest, he would be very willing to teach students, but he currently has too many things to do and feels overwhelmed.
Especially the health care group and the review committee. The first three quarters were okay, and there wasn't much going on with the review committee. But in the fourth quarter, he felt like he had to split himself in two.
Sigh, he'll go crazy if this continues. In the blink of an eye, the car had already arrived at the main hospital.
As soon as he drove up to the administration building, before he even got out of the car, he saw Director Zhang walking quickly toward him.
Well, it looks like we won't be able to go up this building today.
Sure enough, as soon as Director Zhang arrived, he told him that the sanatorium wanted him to come over.
Well, I wonder which old leader is feeling unwell again.
In the first few years after he joined the health care team, almost no one would seek him out for health care except when he was on duty every week.
But as more and more people learned that Li Chu had taken care of Uncle Wang's health, the old leaders who knew Uncle Wang and were aware of his previous health condition gradually began to specifically seek out Li Chu.
The key issue is that these people are all old, and they all have the personality of old children. You have to coax them to treat your illness, and getting them to take medicine is like giving them poison. Every time, it gives Li Chu a headache. The main problem is that he can't afford to offend these people.
We ate lunch at the sanatorium.
I returned to the main hospital in the afternoon, and the day was almost over. It was only then that I entered my office for the first time.
Before he could even settle in, Lin Sanshou, who was still seeing patients at the outpatient clinic, called him over again.
"Uncle-Master, it's already afternoon, why aren't you going home to rest? Your health is important!"
Upon entering Lin Sanshou's consultation room and seeing his nearly eighty-year-old uncle, Li Chu couldn't help but grumble.
"Hehe, it's alright. I know my physical condition, and the medicine you prescribed is indeed quite good."
Li Chu sat down at Lin Sanshou's desk, looked at his thin uncle, and sighed inwardly.
Six months ago, his wife suddenly passed away from a cerebral hemorrhage. His uncle was deeply shocked and felt that he had been a doctor all his life, but he couldn't even save his wife's life. If it weren't for Li Chuhei's timely treatment, Lin Sanshou might have followed her.
It took about five months to recover.
Later, Li Chu realized that he was really not suitable to stay at home any longer, so he suggested that he come to the hospital to work in the outpatient department and contribute his talents. This way, the old man could have something to do and change his mood.
Surprisingly, it worked quite well. At least the old man looks much more energetic than he did a month ago.
"Uncle-Master, why did you call me here?"
"I want to ask you about someone."
"Who is it? Tell me, let me see if I know them."
"Is Wang Jiayuan your niece?"
"Yes, Uncle-Master, how did you know? And why are you asking about Yuanyuan?" Li Chu was full of questions.
"Uh... I see." Lin Sanshou rubbed his hands together on the desk, as if he didn't know how to explain it.
What's going on?
Li Chu was even more puzzled by Lin Sanshou's expression. Could this old man be embarrassed?
"Uncle-Master, what exactly is going on? Is there anything you can't talk to me about?"
Lin Sanshou thought about it and realized that it made sense. This was his junior apprentice, so he could just say whatever he wanted.
"Alright, I'll be blunt. Wang Jiayuan is currently dating my grandson Lin Li."
With a "whoosh," Li Chu stood up and looked at Lin Sanshou in disbelief: "Uncle-Master, Yuanyuan's boyfriend is your grandson?"
"Yes, he is my youngest son's youngest child. You should have seen him when your aunt wasn't around last time."
What a coincidence! Li Chu sat back down in his chair, frowning as he recalled the events, scenes flashing through his mind.
"Uncle-Master, if I remember correctly, your grandson works at the Agriculture Bureau, right?"
"You have a really good memory, kid. You can remember even though you've only met once."
Li Chu looked at Lin Sanshou with a half-smile: "Uncle-Master, don't flatter me. Just say what you have to say."
"Hey, you brat, if it weren't for my grandson's wedding, you'd see how I dealt with you."
Seeing that Li Chu didn't respond to his words and was just looking at him, Lin Sanshou was a little helpless and had no choice but to say, "The two children were classmates before, and they got together through an introduction."
"Yes," Li Chu nodded, "I know that, my sister told me about it."
"Actually, my youngest son and your sister's family, although they haven't officially met yet, they basically agree. However, Jia Yuan told my grandson that they need your approval as their uncle before they can get together."
Huh? Li Chu didn't expect that his niece would actually put him first.
"Xiao Chu, tell me, what are you thinking?"
Li Chu thought for a moment before saying, "Uncle-Master, you must let me see the person. How can I say anything if I haven't even seen the person?"
