Liu Rong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The director doesn’t know either."
"The director doesn’t know either?"
Xie Mingsong was a bit surprised: "That’s unexpected!"
Liu Rong said: "I don’t know why either. Logically, such matters should be ntioned to others in the association, but nobody did. The director is also curious about who it is, but he speculated a bit, saying maybe it’s about bringing in talent. Otherwise, the original Chinese dicine practitioners in Yong City should have already been mbers. It’s only possible due to talent introduction that such a situation could occur."
Xie Mingsong thought for a mont and agreed this was the likeliest scenario.
"No wonder he’s the director; I hadn’t thought of that."
"I said the sa at the ti. Honestly, the director is just the director. If it were , I probably wouldn’t have thought of such things," Liu Rong sighed.
Xie Mingsong, rembering he had other things to do, got up to say goodbye: "Director Liu, I have sothing else to attend to, I’ll head over first. We can talk about participating in the conference when we et tomorrow."
Liu Rong knew Xie Mingsong was busy, so he didn’t say much and got up to see him off. At the door, he reminded Xie Mingsong to go with him tomorrow.
Although Xie Mingsong was extrely unwilling in his heart, he couldn’t openly refuse, so he had to agree.
But inside, he sowhat blad Chen Qianyu for assigning this task to Liu Rong.
It’s not like there was no one else in their hospital.
But thinking about it, other qualified people in the hospital basically had work to do tomorrow, so assigning this task to Liu Rong wouldn’t delay anything.
With that in mind, Xie Mingsong no longer blad Chen Qianyu.
After all, Chen Qianyu did it based on not affecting work.
Once Xie Mingsong left, Liu Rong felt disinterested, yet sowhat looking forward to tomorrow’s conference.
If he were to go alone, he’d feel a bit nervous and not very inclined to engage with others. He knew his own reputation and didn’t want to be overly friendly to cold shoulders.
But going with Xie Mingsong would be different.
Xie Mingsong had a good reputation in the Yong City Chinese dicine community and was quite familiar with the association’s directors. By going with Xie Mingsong, Liu Rong hoped he might really get acquainted with a few directors.
Thinking of this, Liu Rong couldn’t help but rub his hands together, a smile appearing on his face.
If he could seize the opportunity to beco a mber of the association, it would be a great win.
...
Wednesday.
Ji Xiuwen rubbed his sleepy eyes as he ca out of the room, initially intending to go to the restroom and then return for a nap. However, seeing Lu Xuan practicing Vajra Skill on the balcony, he quickly ran to the bathroom. After finishing up, brushing his teeth, and drinking a few sips of cold water, he went straight to the balcony to join Lu Xuan in practicing Vajra Skill.
"Why are you up so early today?"
Once he got in sync with Lu Xuan’s rhythm, Ji Xiuwen couldn’t help asking, "Usually, I don’t see you get up this early!"
Lu Xuan’s forehead was already covered in sweat droplets, obviously having practiced for quite so ti. Hearing Ji Xiuwen’s question, he continued practicing the Vajra Skill, saying, "I have a eting to attend in the morning."
"What eting?"
"Yesterday, I didn’t hear you ntion it?"
"Health Center? It seems like there’s no eting today!"
Ji Xiuwen looked curious.
Lu Xuan explained: "A eting on the Yong City Chinese dical Association’s side."
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiuwen suddenly thought of sothing and looked at Lu Xuan incredulously: "Are you going to be a director?"
"Yes."
Lu Xuan nodded.
Even though he already knew about this, having heard it from Gu Huahua, hearing it straight from Lu Xuan himself still surprised Ji Xiuwen. After a while, he exclaid two words: "Aweso!"
Truly aweso!
Among their peers, whether in Western or Chinese dicine, everyone was striving to accumulate clinical experience, but Lu Xuan had used his talent and ability to far outpace everyone else, leaving them all in the dust.
While they were still just assistants, Lu Xuan was already capable of taking charge, and even stepping into the halls esteed by Yong City’s Chinese dicine practitioners to practice. Now he had even skipped mbership to beco a director of the Yong City Chinese dical Association.
Moreover, Lu Xuan earned this honor through his own abilities, impressing everyone to obtain it, not by connections.
Ji Xiuwen took a deep breath: "You probably won’t co back to the Health Center for lunch, will you?"
Lu Xuan thought for a while: "Probably not."
After talking for a while, Lu Xuan completed his fifth round of Vajra Skill, wiped his forehead’s sweat, and said to Ji Xiuwen: "I’ve already bought breakfast; I’ll leave after eating it."
"Go ahead, go ahead."
After breakfast, it was already 8 a.m.; Lu Xuan checked the ti and headed straight out the door.
From here to the Yong City Chinese dical Association, it takes about half an hour by subway, plus the ti needed to walk to the station, so by the ti he arrived, the eting would almost be starting.
After exiting the subway station and following the map for roughly less than five minutes, Lu Xuan saw the sign of the Yong City Chinese dical Association. At the entrance, there was a dedicated guide, who stopped him: "Sir, this is the Yong City Chinese dical Association. Non-staff mbers cannot enter."
Lu Xuan took out the mbership card that Huang Beishan had given him on Saturday and showed it to the other party.
The guide was a young person, likely an intern from a Traditional Chinese dicine Hospital, and he was quite surprised to see such a young mber for the first ti when Lu Xuan produced the mbership card.
After carefully confirming there was no mistake, the guide returned the mbership card to Lu Xuan: "Dr. Lu, your card, just sign here and leave your contact information to go in. Also, your seat is in the first row with your na on it. If you can’t find it, you can ask the staff inside."
"Thank you."
Lu Xuan expressed his thanks and signed his na.
Looking at the dense signatures above, he realized that Huang Beishan and others had arrived early. Judging by these people, he feared he was among the last to arrive.
Without much thought, Lu Xuan put away the mbership card and walked straight into the Yong City Chinese dical Association.
This was Lu Xuan’s first ti visiting here.
In fact, he had never thought he would one day enter here, beco a mber, and even serve as a director.
...
In the conference hall.
Xie Mingsong was chatting and laughing with several old acquaintances, while Liu Rong tagged along.
However, Liu Rong didn’t know most of the attendees, and as others were discussing in small groups, he couldn’t interject. He wanted to remind Xie Mingsong to introduce him to a few of the association’s directors.
But since Xie Mingsong was busy chatting, Liu Rong didn’t want to interrupt.
The key was, it wasn’t sothing he could bring up to others.
For a mont, Liu Rong felt frustrated, thinking this trip might be in vain.
After thinking it over, Liu Rong suddenly said to Xie Mingsong: "Teacher Xie, I’ll quickly go to the restroom, you keep chatting with everyone else."
Xie Mingsong nodded: "Go ahead, co back soon, the eting will start soon."
Liu Rong headed straight to the restroom alone and started smoking there in solitude.
Just after Liu Rong left the conference hall, Lu Xuan hurriedly walked in. From the doorway, he noticed Huang Beishan and the others chatting upfront, quickly walking over.
While passing by Xie Mingsong, the latter seed to sense sothing and instinctively glanced around, catching sight of Lu Xuan approaching Huang Beishan and the others, leaving him montarily stunned.
"It’s him!"
Familiar acquaintances of Xie Mingsong, hearing his words, curiously asked: "Old Xie, do you know that young man?"
Xie Mingsong snapped back to reality, thought for a mont, then replied: "I suppose so, but not too well; I’ve seen him a few tis."
"Just a young man, let’s not discuss him. Instead, should we guess who will be the director today?" Soone withdrew their gaze from Lu Xuan and joked.
"That’s true."
Soone concurred.
However, Xie Mingsong shook his head: "Old Wu, I won’t comnt on others, but regarding this person, you really shouldn’t see him just as a young person."
