As soon as he stood up, the others followed suit.
Lin Zhilan and Su Lang saw him to the door.
Cheng Qingshan got into the car, while Tu Jing was a step behind and stood at the car door.
"Dr. Lin, I've recently collected a lot of medicinal herbs that are hard to find on the market. If you need them, I can take them to the leader's house for you to take a look at tomorrow."
Lin Zhilan didn't think much of it, assuming that he was just grateful to her for saving Cheng Qingshan back then.
So he smiled and said, "Thank you for your help. I'll pay you back later how much it cost."
Rare medicinal herbs are hard to find, so Tu Jing wouldn't have much use for them.
If there's any good medicine, why not bring it back and have my second brother make pills from it?
My second brother's health still needs proper care.
Tu Jing should agree.
This is already the best distance between the two.
He nodded to Su Lang, then turned and got into the car.
Su Lang could tell that Tu Jing had other feelings for his wife.
He certainly has possessiveness.
The phrase "attracting bees and butterflies" has always been wrong.
The fragrance of the flowers wasn't the flowers' fault, but for Su Lang, the bees were still somewhat annoying.
The next day when I went to the Cheng family.
Su Lang and his wife were inseparable.
Even washing their hands requires standing guard at the kitchen door.
Tu Jing found it amusing.
Dr. Lin had a happy and fulfilling marriage, and he had no intention of ruining it.
Seeing Su Lang's expression, Tu Jing was secretly pleased.
At least in Su Lang's mind, he was somewhat of a competitor to Doctor Lin.
It's good to have a sense of crisis.
Dr. Lin deserves the best.
Cheng Qingshan's meeting with Lin Zhilan this time was also about business.
He wanted Lin Zhilan to take a job at the Capital University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
"I heard you recently took on another patient with sequelae of polio. Although I don't understand it, I had Tu Jing investigate it, and it's not an easy task. It's good that you're staying on; on the one hand, you can do research on this disease, and on the other hand, your work will be more stable."
Lin Zhilan and Su Lang exchanged a glance.
Lin Zhilan wasn't surprised that Cheng Qingshan knew she had recently taken over Liu Feng's business.
Once you're in his position, you can easily find any information you want.
It's just that assigning people to positions so casually, I wonder if this is a common problem among leaders.
"Chief Cheng, I have no plans to work in the capital for the time being."
"What if I could transfer Su Lang to the capital as well?" Cheng Qingshan sat on the sofa, his back still very straight.
The prestige of a local military officer is certainly different from that of an officer in the capital.
Since Cheng Qingshan brought this up, he was implying that Su Lang would have a better future in the capital.
"Would you need it?" Lin Zhilan asked Su Lang with a smile.
Su Lang gripped her hand tightly. "Commander Cheng, I'm from the Navy. You're transferring me to the capital. Do you want me to be in charge of the Qianhai or Houhai areas?"
Cheng Qingshan was both annoyed and amused.
Can the sea in the capital city really be called a sea?
However, he also understood that Su Lang meant he was refusing.
He sighed, "If Xiaolin comes to work in the capital and you stay on the island, won't the couple be separated?"
Su Lang remained silent for a moment, then said, "Judging from Zhilan's meaning, it's not about serving the people wherever you are."
Cheng Qingshan: "..."
Tu Jing: "..."
Otherwise, he would have a wife.
This ability to change course with the wind is something that others may not be able to learn.
Lin Zhilan shook her head again, "I appreciate your kindness, but I'm quite happy on the island now."
The island is where she has spent the most time since arriving here.
The two children have already gotten used to the climate there.
Besides, she has two apprentices, as well as Wang Rou, Aunt Hehua, and Sister Chunhua...
These people have become like family.
If it really came to leaving, Lin Zhilan was truly reluctant.
More importantly, her value on the island is much higher than her value in the capital.
Meeting Cheng Qingshan's disapproving look, Lin Zhilan smiled and continued, "The Capital University of Traditional Chinese Medicine is full of talented people; it certainly doesn't need another teacher like me. Teaching anywhere doesn't matter. If the leader really wants me to take on more students, could you approve funding to open a medical school on an island as well?"
"You certainly know how to ask for an exorbitant amount."
Cheng Qingshan was both amused and exasperated; the couple was as slippery as eels.
"Sir, I'm serious," Lin Zhilan said solemnly, "You can also look into who the students who can get into the Capital University of Traditional Chinese Medicine are. I'm guessing they're all children of high-ranking officials or military personnel, right?"
Cheng Qingshan looked at Tu Jing.
Tu Jing nodded slightly.
These days, anyone who can get into university is extraordinary, especially since the Capital University of Traditional Chinese Medicine is located in the capital and has a high political status; all the positions are occupied by these children of university students.
While many remote areas are still squeezing the survival of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, these children are able to attend universities specializing in traditional Chinese medicine in the capital.
Cheng Qingshan frowned.
He was in charge of the military and was unaware of these matters.
The reason I took charge of Lin Zhilan's affairs was partly because I admired her talent and felt that she shouldn't be stuck in that small island.
Secondly, it was also to repay a debt of gratitude.
The capital city and the island are worlds apart.
But Lin Zhilan bringing this up was, undeniably, a blow to his head.
There is no absolute fairness in the world.
The capital city has good conditions, so everyone wants to come.
But it is precisely this group of talented people who have protected this capital.
He is narrow-minded.
Where is there a lack of talent?
Just as Lin Zhilan said, perhaps the capital city, a place teeming with talent, is more important to the island.
"How about this," Cheng Qingshan finally relented, "I remember there's a Traditional Chinese Medicine college in Guangzhou. I'll put in a good word for you, and you can get a temporary position there. You won't have to work regular hours. You can just give lectures and mentor students periodically. What do you think?"
This time, his tone was more soliciting of opinions than before.
It sounds much more pleasant.
Lin Zhilan hesitated for a moment.
Cheng Qingshan hurriedly said, "We can't refuse anymore. It would be a shame not to pass on your medical skills."
Guangzhou is certainly not far from the capital.
It's not exactly close, and with classes, it takes a day or two to get there and back.
Lin Zhilan was really having a headache this time.
Cheng Qingshan had made up his mind.
Lin Zhilan couldn't keep pushing it away.
But if Su Lang goes on a mission or goes to sea, and she happens to be going to Yangcheng for classes, then the two children will really be left unattended.
Although Wang Rou and Aunt Hehua could help, it wasn't right to keep troubling others like this.
Lin Zhilan only said she would consider it.
Cheng Qingshan said, "Think it over carefully. If you do well, I'll help you get the chance to establish a medical school on the island."
"You're not kidding me, are you?"
"Who's joking with you?" Cheng Qingshan tapped the table. "I, Cheng, am a man of my word. I'm telling you right now, if you train a few more capable apprentices, I, Cheng, will take care of everything for you at the medical school."
Lin Zhilan asked the housekeeper, "Sister Li, do you have paper and a pen?"
Sister Li was suddenly called upon and, startled, replied, "Yes."
