Gu Jia Ning's reputation had already spread throughout the Military Region Hospital while she was still attending the training class.
Of course, the reason for her attention was not only because of her strong medical skills, but also because of her beauty, and because she was the wife of Sheng Ze Xi, that sharp-tongued, jade-faced Yama.
Two young male doctors in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department were still unmarried, but they had also heard rumors of Gu Jia Ning.
They hadn't expected that Elder Chen would actually bring such a figure to their quiet Traditional Chinese Medicine Department.
They had just been discussing that today was Gu Jia Ning's first day of work, and they didn't know what she was like. They heard that upon their first meeting, someone described her with the four words "amazingly beautiful."
They didn't know whether that was true or not.
And at this moment, looking at the young woman before them, as radiant as peach blossoms and plum blossoms, with eyebrows like distant mountains, sparkling eyes, and fair skin.
They exchanged a glance and silently thought to themselves: Indeed, amazingly beautiful.
It's just a pity…
It's a pity that she's already married, and she's the wife of that sharp-tongued, jade-faced Yama, Sheng Ze Xi. Otherwise, they would have had to try their best to win her over.
After all, which man wouldn't want to marry a capable and beautiful wife?
"Are you Gu Jia Ning, Doctor Gu?" Zhou Chiyuan, one of the young male doctors, stood up and asked kindly.
"Yes, I am Gu Jia Ning."
"We've long heard that Doctor Gu has been assigned to our department. Doctor Gu, with your exceptional talent, it's wonderful to have you in our Traditional Chinese Medicine Department."
"Doctor Gu, I'll take you to handle the employment procedures and give you a brief introduction to our Traditional Chinese Medicine Department."
"Okay, thank you."
Through the introduction, Gu Jia Ning learned that besides her, there were only two other doctors in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department.
The one who had spoken to her first was Doctor Zhou Chiyuan, and the other was called Lu Jin.
Zhou Chiyuan was the one who took Gu Jia Ning to handle her employment procedures.
"Doctor Zhou, that means there are only four doctors in our Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, including me?" Gu Jia Ning asked.
That seemed a bit few.
Zhou Chiyuan understood what Gu Jia Ning meant, nodded, and explained, "In the Military Region Hospital, the three most popular departments with the most doctors are Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Pediatrics."
"As for our Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, it's considered to be at the bottom."
Gu Jia Ning thought for a moment and quickly understood the reason.
After all, in this era, some people considered Traditional Chinese Medicine to be feudal superstition. Moreover, Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment is more troublesome; it requires decocting medicine and taking it for several days, while Western medicine only requires a few small pills.
This is also why most people favor Western medicine now.
But Gu Jia Ning felt that the tradition of Traditional Chinese Medicine could not be broken.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is no worse than Western medicine; there are even some diseases that Western medicine cannot cure, but Traditional Chinese Medicine can.
Moreover, Traditional Chinese Medicine is a national tradition, and traditions cannot be forgotten.
In the Divine Doctor Space, most of the teachers who taught her were Divine Doctors of Traditional Chinese Medicine, both ancient and modern, from China and abroad.
Their medical skills were so miraculous, turning the mundane into the magical, that Gu Jia Ning was amazed.
Gu Jia Ning thought that if possible, she wanted to promote and carry on this tradition and essence of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Therefore, even though Zhou Chiyuan said that the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department was not very popular in the Military Region Hospital and was quite quiet, with few people willing to seek treatment there, Gu Jia Ning still didn't regret being assigned there.
"Doctor Gu, this is your office."
Because there weren't many doctors in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, the space was relatively spacious, so each doctor could be assigned an independent office. Although it wasn't very large, it was still their own personal space.
Unlike the Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and other departments, where several doctors shared one office.
"Thank you, Doctor Zhou."
"You're welcome."
Gu Jia Ning glanced at the office; it seemed to have been cleaned beforehand. Although it wasn't large, it was clean and simple.
Zhou Chiyuan: Of course it's clean! Elder Chen repeatedly instructed me and Old Lu to make sure this office was thoroughly cleaned.
"By the way, Doctor Zhou, you just said that there are four doctors in our Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, including me. Where is the other one...?" Gu Jia Ning hadn't seen anyone else.
"The other one is Elder Chen."
"Elder Chen?" Not Doctor Chen, but Elder Chen? This wasn't something to be called casually, and Gu Jia Ning could see the respect and admiration in Doctor Zhou's eyes for this Elder Chen.
"Doctor Gu, do you know how you came to our Traditional Chinese Medicine Department?"
Huh?
"I was assigned here."
Seeing Gu Jia Ning's reaction, Zhou Chiyuan knew she was unaware of the situation. His expression became conflicted for a moment before asking, "Then what do you think about being in our Traditional Chinese Medicine Department?"
"I think it's pretty good, I like it," Gu Jia Ning answered honestly.
Sensing that Gu Jia Ning's words were genuine, Zhou Chiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, then whispered, "Actually, Dean Shu initially planned to assign you to the Surgery or Obstetrics and Gynecology Department. The doctors in those two departments had been hoping for you to join them, but Elder Chen stepped in and requested you to come here."
Gu Jia Ning blinked, a little dazed.
She didn't recognize this Elder Chen; why would he bring her to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department?
"Elder Chen is the founder of our Military Region Hospital and its first director. He is now seventy years old, and his Traditional Chinese Medicine skills are superb. It is said that he once treated a high-ranking leader."
"After Elder Chen retired, he stayed in our Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, seeing patients with expert appointments and rarely making house calls."
Everyone guessed that the reason Elder Chen didn't want to leave was that he wanted to find a good disciple to pass on his medical skills, but until now, Elder Chen hadn't found a suitable one.
Zhou Chiyuan sized up Gu Jia Ning. This Doctor Gu was personally requested by Elder Chen, and she was said to be very talented. Could Elder Chen have the intention of taking Doctor Gu as his disciple?
Zhou Chiyuan wasn't sure, so he didn't tell Gu Jia Ning.
However, Zhou Chiyuan thought that if Doctor Gu could become Elder Chen's disciple, it would be incredibly fortunate; her future path would be worry-free.
Elder Chen's extensive network and profound background were more than just that of the founder of the Military Region Hospital.
Back then, he and Lu Jin had also wanted to become Elder Chen's disciples, but Elder Chen didn't think highly of them.
"Elder Chen must have had his reasons for bringing you to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department. As for what those reasons are, I'm not entirely sure. Perhaps he hopes you can lead our Traditional Chinese Medicine Department to become better."
Gu Jia Ning understood. Although she hadn't met Elder Chen yet and didn't know why he transferred her to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, it was ultimately not a bad thing for her.
Moreover, from what Doctor Zhou said, this Elder Chen had a deep background. If she could build a good relationship with him, that would be beneficial. After all, having a powerful connection wouldn't hurt.
After Doctor Zhou finished his explanation and helped Gu Jia Ning with her employment procedures, he returned to his office.
And Gu Jia Ning officially started working at the Military Region Hospital, becoming Doctor Gu.
