Medical Sovereign

Mr. Hu and his colleagues were the pioneers in the recovery of traditional culture and the vanguards to resist the invasion of Western culture, but their strength was too small and far from enough, and more successors needed to take over the mission from them and continue to carry on the great cause of rejuvenation from generation to generation.

What Ding Ning wanted to do was tell them the pros and cons so that all compatriots in Shenzhou would wake up and realize the terrible and harmful nature of Western cultural invasion, so as to stimulate their national honor and patriotic complex and unite more people to join hands to recover traditional culture.

The 5,000 students seemed to be a great number, but compared with the 1.4 billion people of the nation, it was not worth mentioning.

But as long as they had this “seed” in them, their insignificant strength would be able to develop into mighty strength.

If this concept could be spread through their mouths and kept being disseminated to increase their influence, more and more people would join them and gradually form a joint force in the end.

Sooner or later, it would bring the entire nation together and contribute to the revival of traditional culture.

This was what Mr. Hu and his colleagues had been wanting to do, but they did not succeed for one reason or another.

Through his teaching, Ding Ning took the first step firmly today. Although the result was still unknown, the thoughtful look of the students present was believed to mean that they had realized the harmfulness of Western medicine.

Smiling and glancing at them lost in thought, Ding Ning did not announce the end of the class before he was about to walk out of the classroom quietly and end his first lecture.

“Professor Ding, please stay.”

Principal Lu leading the famous professors of the entire medical college came in single file and stopped Ding Ning with a smile.

“Professor Ding?”

The whole class fell into silence and stared at Principal Lu and his team in shock, seemingly waiting for him to give everyone an explanation.

Raising his eyebrows, Ding Ning saw Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang winking at him in the crowd, not knowing whether he should laugh or cry.

Seeing that President Lu and his team were in such a great number, Ding Ning guessed a possibility. “Has the professor’s job title been issued? Otherwise, how could he call me professor?”

“Impressed by Comrade Ding Ning’s great contribution in the field of medical science and with the approval of the State Council of Shenzhou, the National Ministry of Health of Shenzhou specially granted him the ‘Honorary Certificate’ and specially approved Comrade Ding Ning as an honorary professor of Ninghai Medical College with the professor’s job title. This is the certificate from the National Ministry of Health, and this is the appointment letter of honorary professor issued by our Ninghai University.”

Principal Lu had a broad smile on his old face. Being an honorary professor of Ninghai Medical College meant that Ding Ning had become a member of Ninghai University.

From now on, they would share both glory and loss. Each achievement he made would add glory to Ninghai University; the more contributions he made in the medical field, the more famous Ninghai University would become.

“What? Honorary professor? How young he is! Is the guy who granted him the certificate out of his mind?”

“Get lost. You have no ability, so you come to envy my Ningning. You are disgusting.”

“Oh my, he is probably the youngest professor in history, right?”

“My God! It is so distressing to make a comparison. Compared with him, I can’t live anymore.”

“He deserves to be my husband. So brilliant, so cool, oh... Ningning, let me give you a kiss.”

“Yes, I must marry him and give birth children for him. A professor in his early twenties! My goodness!”

“Ningning is the best! Ningning is the coolest! Ningning is the most handsome!”

...

Principal Lu’s words, which were like a stone thrown into a peaceful lake, made great waves immediately.

The whole class gasped in unison and then boiled like the boiling water. Discussions, words of envy, words of suspicion, words of defense, words of surprise, joking shouts, and loud noises immediately sounded in the classroom.

Although Ding Ning had learned this news from Xu Minglu a long time before, when this moment came, his mood still dramatically changed with it, and he was overjoyed.

Wearing a smile, he took the certificate and the appointment letter from Principal Lu with both hands and bowed low in a sincere and calm manner. “Thank the National Ministry of Health for granting me the honor, thank Principal Lu, and thank all the teachers!”

“Congratulations, congratulations, Professor Ding.”

“Congratulations, Professor Ding. We are optimistic about you.”

“Haha, such a young professor. I think he is the first one across Shenzhou.”

“Congratulations, congratulations, you deserve the honor!”

...

All the professors praised him a lot and congratulated Ding Ning one after another, for they were also proud that such a young professor was from Ninghai Medical College.

“Haha, Professor Ding, don’t hasten to give thanks. I’m not finished yet.”

Very happy, Principal Lu turned around and made a gesture to Mr. Hu.

“Not finished?” Ding Ning was shocked and looked at Mr. Hu who came over with a portfolio in amusement, not knowing what they wanted to do.

“Ahem, ahem, ahem!”

Mr. Hu coughed three times, and the noisy classroom immediately became quiet again. Bright-eyed, everyone looked at Mr. Hu and had long forgotten that it was he who should have come to give the lesson, feeling very curious about what was in the file bag in his hand.

“With the approval of the State Council of Shenzhou, the National Ministry of Health of Shenzhou, the Ministry of Education of Shenzhou, and the National Medical Products Administration of Shenzhou have jointly issued a document that authorizes Ninghai University to set up the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Anaesthesia (a pilot project). After the students go through the strict assessment, the National Ministry of Health will grant them the graduation certificate and the Certificate of Traditional Chinese Medicine Anaesthetist, with which they will be able to work and promote the Traditional Chinese Medicine anaesthesia technology nationwide. Hereby, the Ministry appoints Comrade Ding Ning the first executive of Shennong Anaesthesia Training College, Hu Xinning and Zhang Wenhai vice presidents, Liao Mingyu, Sun Zhiqiang, Gao Junlin, Meng Zhebing...”

With the announcement of Mr. Hu, Ding Ning was dumbfounded but then became ecstatic. The traditional Chinese medicine anaesthesia finally got clinical approval and received national recognition and support; the traditional Chinese medicine anaesthesia had been treated as a separate discipline, and a professional college had been opened in Ninghai University; its graduates would be granted the Certificate of Traditional Chinese Medicine Anaesthetist, work with the Certificate, and promote the traditional Chinese medicine anaesthesia nationwide.

He could foresee how popular the profession of Chinese medicine anaesthetists would be in the future. Probably, tens of thousands of candidates would apply for the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Anaesthesia every year.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Hu, Principal Lu, and their colleagues gave him such a big gift silently. This was a win-win situation and a happy ending.

Ninghai University, relying on the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Anaesthesia, would instantly become the top university in Shenzhou, and its enrollment would not be a problem any longer.

He, Mr. Hu, and their other colleagues present would also use the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Anaesthesia a base to train more outstanding Chinese medicine professionals to accomplish their common ideal. The recovery of traditional medicine had taken a solid first step.

As for the executive’s title, Ding Ning really did not care. What he was happy was that he finally successfully started the first step of boycotting Western medicine.

For the students present, the news was so shocking that they were stunned in disbelief.

“Being a 22-year-old honorary professor is not a big problem. After all, Ding Ning’s medical skills are outstanding, but how could he serve as the executive of the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Anaesthesia? This is too ridiculous, isn’t it? That is a deputy department-level administrative establishment!”

The deputy department level was equivalent to the level of a vice mayor, and so many civil servants could only watch it from afar but could not reach it, even after working hard for a lifetime, but Ding Ning got it easily. How could they not admire, envy, or hate him?

But soon, some people realized that no matter how high Ding Ning’s level was, it almost had nothing to do with them. At most, they would have one more chatting topic.

What was closely related to them was that a college would be established for the traditional Chinese medicine anaesthesia as a separate discipline, and the traditional Chinese medicine anaesthetist would also come to the stage of history as a special profession.

A pilot project in the document was enough to prove that the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Anaesthesia at Ninghai University was by no means the first one. It showed the great support and attention the country had given to the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine anaesthetists.

As students of the medical college, they all had deep medical foundations and were faster than ordinary people in learning the techniques of the traditional Chinese medicine anaesthesia.

In fact, they knew how popular the new profession would be in the future. After graduation, they would definitely become the favorites for all hospitals.

At present, there were few traditional Chinese medicine anaesthetists. Compared with very complicated medicine, it had unique advantages of low employment pressure, strong professionalism, high social status, high salary, etc., so how could they not be interested?

Many people looked at Ding Ning eagerly, wanting to establish a relationship with him and discuss the matter of changing their major.

Reminded by their classmates and friends, those who had slower response immediately understood how hot the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Anaesthesia would be.

“Congratulations, Professor Ding. Uh, no, Executive Ding.”

Mr. Hu teased Ding Ning mischievously.

Ding Ning grinned and did not hypocritically decline the executive’s post and let others take it.

After all, the traditional Chinese medicine anaesthesia came from the Meridian Severing Hand. No one except him in this world could perform anaesthesia without relying on the strength instrument. Therefore, he must be the executive.

“Is this a success with a great reputation?” Ding Ning thought unclearly and could not help giving a happy smile even with his indifferent character.

When he felt that the Mermaid Totem showed signs of awakening as it wriggled slightly once, his smile became even happier.

It seemed that his guess was correct. Reputations really could provide strength for the Mermaid Totem and make her wake up as soon as possible, so what was the need for him to remain tolerant in a low profile?

Gaining a great reputation would bring him lots of danger, but danger and opportunity coexisted. Reputations would provide him with opportunities to keep growing stronger.

Only when the Mermaid Totem absorbed enough reputations and restored her strength as quickly as possible could she sense the locations of other totems, open the Wu Shen Palace again and again, and enter it to cultivate.

When Principal Lu, his colleagues, and Ding Ning left talking and laughing, the students who had been decently restraining themselves burst out into a loud noise. Their excited faces turned red, and they started their discussions excitedly:

“The university is going to set up the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Anaesthesia. Can we change our major?”

“I don’t know. Even if we can, we can’t do it now. It is still in preparation now. If this professional college can be opened next year, that’s good enough.”

“Hey, have you guys noticed that the document says the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Anaesthesia of our university is a pilot project? Surely, other universities will also open this college in the future.”

“Right, this means that our country strongly supports the traditional Chinese medicine anaesthesia, so its prospect is very promising.”

“I will change my major immediately, and I will go to the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Anaesthesia and become a traditional Chinese medicine anaesthetist.”

“Haha, I will be one of the first traditional Chinese medicine anaesthetists, marry the white, rich, and beautiful woman, and reach the pinnacle of life.”

“Humph, I would change my major for the sake of my Ningning.”

“When I go to the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Anaesthesia, I will be able to see my husband every day.”

“Go away. Don’t try to seduce my husband. He is mine.”

“You girls think too much. Ningning is mine, and we were together last night.”

“Go away, bitch! Don’t tell lies here because he was with me last night.”

“Huh, you are shameless. You forget how ugly you are! How could my husband appreciate you? Humph!”

“How beautiful do you think you are? What else can you do besides seducing men? You are a whore, pooh!”

“What did you say? Say it again.”

“Can you bite me even if I say it again? You are a bitch and a whore.”

“Ah! I’ll fight you, ah, ah, ah...”
