Beijing Film Academy.
Inside the school clinic.
After Su Zhengnan rewrote a prescription for Zhou Yannian, he said with a smile:
"After changing the prescription, it should be able to be cured in about a month. However, you should maintain good eating habits in the future to prevent other parts of the body from developing lesions."
"Okay, I understand, thank you Dr. Su."
Zhou Yannian smiled and thanked him, then stood up and said excitedly:
"Dr. Su, I... I don't know how to thank you enough. If it weren't for your superb medical skills, I'm afraid I would have lost my life long ago."
At this point, Zhou Yannian paused for a moment, then turned to look at his daughter.
After thinking for a moment, he continued speaking to Su Zhengnan:
"Dr. Su, I'm having a dinner party at Tianfang Restaurant across from your school tonight. You absolutely have to come!"
Without waiting for Su Zhengnan's reply, Zhou Yannian got up, took his daughter Zhou Zixuan, and walked out.
"???"
Su Zhengnan watched the other person leave, completely bewildered.
It took him a long time to realize that Zhou Zixuan's father wanted to throw him a thank-you banquet!
You should know that in the past, whenever a disciple of a master became the top scholar in the imperial examination, the banquet to thank the master would last for several days.
Moreover, Su Zhengnan had saved Zhou Yannian's life.
There's nothing wrong with the other party wanting to hold a thanksgiving banquet.
But is it really necessary to set up a special table?
I can't eat that much myself!
Su Zhengnan shook his head helplessly, and then ignored the matter.
It's just going out for dinner tonight.
After leaving the school clinic with his daughter Zhou Zixuan, Zhou Yannian immediately booked a table at Tianfang Restaurant across from the Beijing Film Academy and then called his wife.
Zhou Zixuan looked at her father with some confusion and asked, "Dad, it's just inviting Dr. Su to dinner, is it really necessary to make such a big deal out of it?"
Zhou Yannian glanced at her and said, "What do you know? Doctor Su saved my life. This banquet is different from the last one."
"oh....."
Zhou Zixuan nodded as if she understood, but she really didn't know anything about Thanksgiving banquets.
However, since her father had said so, she, as his daughter, had no choice but to comply.
..............
evening.
Classes have ended at school.
Su Zhengnan sat in his clinic and welcomed two students to see him.
However, these are all minor issues.
He didn't even need to take their pulses; he just glanced at their complexions and prescribed medicine for them.
Until the end of the night shift.
Su Zhengnan called Sun Huaiwei along, and together with Zhou Zixuan, they arrived at Tianfang Restaurant across from the school.
This Tianfang Restaurant is much better than the restaurant where Zhou Yannian treated him to dinner last year. It can be considered the best Chinese restaurant near the Beijing Film Academy. Although the prices there are not expensive, they are not cheap either.
Zhou Yannian and his wife had been waiting at the door for a long time.
Upon seeing Su Zhengnan, he quickly came to greet him.
"Dr. Su, you've finally arrived! Please come in!"
Upon entering the private room, all the dishes had already been served.
Zhou Yannian raised his wine glass and said to Su Zhengnan, "Dr. Su, I'd like to toast you to thank you for saving my life."
"Uncle Zhou, you're too kind. This is what I should do."
Su Zhengnan smiled and drank a cup with Zhou Yannian.
Since everyone was already familiar with each other, the meal wasn't awkward at all.
Sun Huaiwei felt like an outsider sitting at the table. Watching Su Zhengnan chatting happily with Zhou Zixuan's family, she felt slightly unhappy.
However, what surprised her the most was that Su Zhengnan actually cured Zhou Zixuan's father's illness.
Sun Huaiwei and Zhou Zixuan have completely become fake best friends.
She was naturally very clear about Zhou Zixuan's father's condition.
That could be a brain tumor!
This can actually be cured? And completely cured at that?
That can't be right.
Sun Huaiwei felt a buzzing in her head, as if she couldn't hear clearly and felt like she was dreaming!
After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,
Zhou Yannian suddenly spoke up: "Dr. Su, thank you so much for saving my life. If it weren't for you, this tumor in my brain would probably have exploded long ago."
"Uncle Zhou, why are you saying that again? It was just a small favor, Uncle Zhou, you don't need to keep thanking me."
Su Zhengnan smiled and quickly waved his hand.
Zhou Yannian smiled and said, "I still have to thank you, after all, it's a life-saving grace."
As he spoke, Zhou Yannian took out an anonymous bank card and handed it to Su Zhengnan.
"Dr. Su, you know our family situation; we're not exactly wealthy. Please accept this small token of our appreciation!"
"Uncle Zhou, what do you mean by this?"
Su Zhengnan raised an eyebrow slightly and pushed the bank card back, saying:
"Uncle Zhou, you should take this back. Treating the sick and saving lives is my duty. If I take money, the taste will be different."
Seeing this, Zhou Yannian quickly said, "Dr. Su, this is just a small token of our appreciation. We would feel bad if you didn't accept it!"
"Uncle Zhou, I appreciate your kindness, but I really can't accept this money."
Su Zhengnan said firmly.
Although he didn't know how much money was in the card, Su Zhengnan was determined not to accept it.
Firstly, he doesn't lack money now, and he doesn't care about this.
Secondly, Zhou Zixuan was, after all, a colleague, so it's not reasonable for her to accept favors from her just to get treatment for her father's illness.
This is not the medical philosophy of traditional Chinese medicine doctors.
Suddenly, Zhou Zixuan stood up and looked at Su Zhengnan with gratitude, saying:
"Dr. Su, please accept this money. Consider it my way of thanking you on behalf of my father. You saved his life, and our whole family is very grateful to you."
Su Zhengnan looked at Zhou Zixuan, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes, but he still firmly shook his head and said:
"Sister Zhou, I really can't accept this money. I know you mean well, but it's already very kind of you to treat me to a meal tonight."
Zhou Zixuan had no choice but to take the bank card back.
Seeing that Su Zhengnan's attitude was so firm, Zhou Yannian didn't know what to say. So the group chatted about everyday things for a while, and the dinner ended in a pleasant atmosphere.
.............
at the same time.
On the other side.
After getting off work and returning home, Li Huai'an immediately turned on his computer and sent the paper materials that Su Zhengnan had sent him to the journal Nature via email.
He happened to be on duty at the hospital on Saturday and Sunday, so he didn't have time to publish the paper.
Li Huai'an only had free time after finishing his busy work on Monday and returning home.
However, Nature's review process is quite fast; we should hear back in two or three days at most.
"Sigh, it seems I really am getting old, I can't even compare to my junior brother."
After sending out the paper, Li Huai'an couldn't help but sigh, feeling that his expertise in traditional Chinese medicine was increasingly inferior to that of his junior brother.
Perhaps I'm only suited to be the head of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department!
Li Huai'an leaned back in his chair, staring blankly at the computer screen, his mind drifting back to the first time he met Su Zhengnan.
When the teacher wanted to take Su Zhengnan as his last disciple, Li Huai'an and others did not object, but they still looked down on Su Zhengnan a little, thinking that it was too late for a young boy like him to learn traditional Chinese medicine.
Who would have thought that in just a few years, Su Zhengnan's medical skills would have far surpassed those of his senior brothers.
It really comes down to the teacher's excellent judgment!
If it were them taking on the role of apprentice, they definitely wouldn't have accepted Su Zhengnan.
After all, Su Zhengnan was only a freshman at the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the time, and he hadn't been exposed to TCM for very long.
Who would have predicted that his talent for traditional Chinese medicine would be so remarkable?
