Chapter 309: Chapter 309: Taking Her Place_1 Chapter 309: Chapter 309: Taking Her Place_1 Although a bit confused, Xia Ningxing still modestly replied, “Thank you, Director, but it was really just a small effort on my part, you needn’t worry about it.”
“This is not a trivial matter at all. You saved a comrade’s leg—it’s a big deal!” the institute’s director said with a smile, and then asked, “Does Miss Xia also understand Chinese dicine?”
“I know just a little,” Xia Ningxing answered tactfully.
“Ningxing, don’t be so modest. Your dical skills are so remarkable, and yet you say ‘just a little’—wouldn’t that make all the Chinese dicine practitioners in the world feel ashad!” Tao Tao said, linking arms with Xia Ningxing and speaking with a warm expression, showering her with flattery:
“Director, you have no idea. Ningxing prescribed so Chinese dicine for , and after I drank it, my ankle that was hurting terribly suddenly didn’t hurt much at all!”
“It’s simply a miracle cure!”
Xia Ningxing blushed slightly: “…”
In fact, it wasn’t that miraculous at all; seeing that the girl was in great pain, she had added an analgesic herb to the dicine, which temporarily numbed the nerves in her foot.
However, there was still so sensation of pain, just bearable—a level one or two type of pain. This was because if there was no pain at all, she worried the girl might think she was fully healed and start walking around, causing herself more trouble.
“Not bad, not bad.” The director nodded and then asked, “Did Miss Xia study Chinese dicine in college?”
“No, I didn’t, Director,” Xia Ningxing shook her head and forced a smile. “Don’t listen to Tao Tao’s exaggerations. I’m not that amazing; I just understand a bit about pharmacology.”
After pondering for a mont, the director said, “Miss Xia, now that Jiang Rou is gone, our institute has no doctor, and even if I apply for a new one right now, it’ll probably be ten days or half a month before they can arrive. How about this, could you take on the role of the institute’s doctor temporarily?”
“Director, that’s absolutely out of the question. If I had formally studied dicine, I would be the first to volunteer, but I’m not a professional. I only know about pharmacology, so prescribing the right dicine for certain conditions I can do, but when it cos to diagnosing illnesses, I wouldn’t know where to begin.” Upon hearing this, Xia Ningxing imdiately refused without a second thought.
Practicing dicine was not a matter to be taken lightly.
Without the right expertise, one shouldn’t attempt to handle a task that could lead to problems.
In fact, Xia Ningxing felt quite embarrassed. Her knowledge of pharmacology was acquired simply to create a wider variety of perfu scents, and she had reluctantly learned about all sorts of plants and flowers.
Seeing her so earnest, the director reassured her, “It’s okay, you just need to deal with colds and fevers. If there’s a serious illness, we’ll transfer them to the hospital imdiately.”
“Then I shall respectfully comply,” Xia Ningxing agreed, no longer rejecting the offer.
She was well-asured in her approach, with a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing, showing no signs of sycophancy or flattery.
Such behavior imdiately earned the admiration of everyone present.
If it were them, they probably would have been currying favor with the leadership already, lavishly praising them and promising how well they would perform the job.
Alas, compared to Miss Xia, they really felt ashad!
Xia Ningxing didn’t want to flatter not because she was unwilling, but because she knew that important people like the director preferred those who were sensible and got the job done, rather than those who spent all their ti offering empty praises.
Jiang Rou, standing to the side and hearing this conversation, was so angry she nearly lost her soul.
She glared at Xia Ningxing with fury.
Bitch!
To think she had even taken over her position!
It made her so angry she could die all over again!
