Chapter 122 Ouyang Suiping's Demands

After listening to Su Nuannuan's words, Ouyang Suiping nodded.

As a counselor at Beijing University, Ouyang Suiping has paid close attention to technological developments abroad. He agrees with Su Nuannuan's point, but a person's energy is limited.

The minor programs at Kyoto University are actually designed for people with exceptionally sharp minds. If such a person doesn't pursue a minor in a different field while young, they'll be wasting their talent.

Then there are those who come from wealthy families and can do whatever they want. Schools sometimes even encourage these people to minor in another major because they have the resources to learn from mistakes.

However, in Ouyang Suiping's view, Su Nuannuan does not belong to either of these two types of people.

He acknowledged that Su Nuannuan's grades were excellent, but that didn't mean she could study two subjects simultaneously. If Su Nuannuan didn't make any progress in either subject, then her exceptional talent would be wasted.

This is not what Ouyang Suiping wanted to see.

However, he also knew that children Su Nuannuan's age all go through a rebellious phase. The more you try to stop her from doing something, the more she'll try to do the opposite.

Ouyang Suiping did not immediately agree to Su Nuannuan's request, but instead inquired.

"You need to understand that your major will be introducing experimental teaching next semester. At the same time, your major courses will also become more demanding. Do you really think you have the time and energy to minor in another subject?"

It wasn't that Ouyang Suiping didn't think highly of Su Nuannuan, but rather that he felt it was unnecessary. Su Nuannuan wanted to minor in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) processing. However, TCM processing was a rather useless major; Ouyang Suiping felt it had no future prospects.

Ouyang Suiping was unaware that Su Nuannuan possessed a powerful advantage—a spiritual spring space. Her secondary training in traditional Chinese medicine crafting was also intended to better utilize the medicinal herbs produced within the space to create potions in the future.

Clearly, Su Nuannuan wouldn't reveal her secret. However, she couldn't possibly give up this opportunity to learn about traditional Chinese medicine production. It would be such a waste not to process the medicinal herbs in her space into finished medicine.

Su Nuannuan was not swayed by Ouyang Suiping's words. Because she knew that the clinical coursework wouldn't hold her back.

Su Nuannuan looked at Ouyang Suiping with a firm gaze.

"Professor Ouyang, I still want to minor in Chinese medicine processing."

Meeting Su Nuannuan's gaze, Ouyang Suiping stopped himself from speaking. He was in a real bind, unsure how to persuade Su Nuannuan.

As Su Nuannuan's tutor, Ouyang Suiping is quite responsible.

He thought about it and made the final suggestion.

“Minoring in traditional Chinese medicine preparation is not easy. Since you are determined to do so, I can’t stop you.”

Su Nuannuan smiled happily upon hearing Ouyang Suiping's words.

"Thank you, Teacher Ouyang!"

Ouyang Suiping shook his head and continued.

"However, I have two requests."

Upon hearing Ouyang Suiping's words, Su Nuannuan paused, frowned, and said to Ouyang Suiping.

"Teacher Ouyang, please speak."

Ouyang Suiping adjusted his glasses and continued.

"First, your final exam score must rank first in your major; second, I won't immediately agree to your minor in Traditional Chinese Medicine Production. Next week, you'll attend a Traditional Chinese Medicine Production course with the first-year students. If you can keep up, I'll agree to your request."

Su Nuannuan thought about it and felt that the two conditions proposed by Ouyang Suiping were not difficult, so she nodded.

“Teacher Ouyang, I agree.”

In fact, Ouyang Suiping's suggestion was more in line with Su Nuannuan's requirements, because it would allow her to get involved in the production of traditional Chinese medicine more quickly.

Ouyang Suiping didn't finish his sentence and continued to add.

"Don't think the second condition is easy. You not only have to take courses in traditional Chinese medicine preparation, but you also have to pass the final exams. If you fail, I won't agree to let you minor in traditional Chinese medicine preparation."

Ouyang Suiping's requirements are very demanding for ordinary students. Su Nuannuan was already a month behind the students majoring in Traditional Chinese Medicine preparation. This meant that she would need to catch up on a month of classes.

However, Su Nuannuan felt that this was not difficult at all. So, she readily agreed to Ouyang Suiping's request.

“Okay, Teacher Ouyang, I agree.”

Actually, Ouyang Suiping said all this for Su Nuannuan's own good. In her previous life, if you wanted to minor in another subject, as long as you complied with the school's rules and regulations, you would be allowed to. Almost no teachers cared whether you could keep up with the classes.

Perhaps there aren't many students at Beijing University right now, and every student there will be a pillar of the country's development in the future; the university doesn't want them to "go astray." This is Su Nuannuan's own guess.

Su Nuannuan had no complaints about Ouyang Suiping preventing her from minoring in traditional Chinese medicine production. Ouyang Suiping genuinely cared for her, and she respected her teacher greatly.

"Thank you, Teacher Ouyang."

Meeting Su Nuannuan's touched eyes, Ouyang Suiping shook his head.

"You need to find the textbooks for the Chinese medicine preparation major yourself. You can borrow them from the senior students in the previous year, or you can buy them from bookstores outside."

Ouyang Suiping did not offer to search for Su Nuannuan, which was actually a test for her.

Su Nuannuan nodded, indicating that she understood.

No wonder she won't be attending the Chinese medicine preparation class until next month; it turns out she was supposed to collect the books first.

Then, Ouyang Suiping took out his notebook and began writing down the books he would need for his first year of majoring in Chinese medicine preparation.

The pen nib scratched across the paper, and Su Nuannuan's gaze followed the movement of his pen.

The first semester of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Production major has very few courses: Basic Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine Science, and Medicinal Botany. Since other moral education courses conflict with Su Nuannuan's major courses, Ouyang Suiping didn't mention them.

Actually, the courses for the Chinese medicine preparation major are quite easy.

After Ouyang Suiping finished writing, he tore off the paper and handed it to Su Nuannuan.

"These are the textbooks for the first semester of the Chinese Medicine Production major. Hurry up and collect them. Once you've collected them, come find me. I'll arrange for you to be introduced to a professor in the Chinese Medicine Production major."

Su Nuannuan nodded and took the papers that Ouyang Suiping handed her.

She looked up at the refined and gentle man and expressed her gratitude.

"Thank you, Teacher Ouyang."

As her mentor, Ouyang Suiping was truly dedicated to her. If he found it troublesome, he could have simply agreed to or refused her requests. The reason he set these two requirements for her was for her own development.

Su Nuannuan was so grateful to Ouyang Suiping because she knew his good intentions.

Ouyang Suiping waved his hand and said.

"It's nothing serious. If you can't keep going, you can tell me in advance."

Su Nuannuan nodded.

"Well, I see."

Once the matter was resolved, Ouyang Suiping got up.

"There's nothing else here, so I'll be leaving now."

Su Nuannuan also stood up and said to Ouyang Suiping.

Goodbye, Teacher Ouyang.

"Goodbye."

After saying that, Ouyang Suiping turned and left.
