The principal snorted. “Don’t worry. I can handle this,” he assured.
Li Sheng escorted Li Ru out of the office, while Lin Lin offered an apology to the principal before departing.
Once outside the principal’s office, Lin Lin decided not to accompany the other two any further and fell back a few steps.
While she believed in the excellence of the school uniform she had designed, she couldn’t help but feel dissatisfied with Li Ru and Li Sheng’s attitudes.
Professor Yang Ning was their teacher, and the principal held the highest authority in the entire school. Yet, Li Ru and Li Sheng displayed no intention of showing them respect.
Lin Lin still upheld the principle of respecting teachers. She felt that she had known too little about Li Ru in the past and decided to maintain some distance from her in the future.
Furthermore, most of their work had been completed by her, with Li Ru contributing relatively little.
Inside the principal’s office, Professor Yang Ning addressed the principal, “Principal, do you think Li Sheng might seek revenge for this? He strikes me as a rather vindictive person.”
Her initial impression of Li Sheng wasn’t very positive, as she considered him a profit-driven businessman.
“He doesn’t have that much influence,” the principal responded dismissively. “Besides, I’ve been an educator for many years and have never engaged in any illegal activities. Even if he were to seek revenge, I won’t give him the opportunity.”
Professor Yang Ning found solace in the principal’s words.
The principal turned to Xia Wan and Zhou En. “Let’s proceed with signing the contract now.”
Even after signing the contract and receiving the 10,000 yuan from the principal, Zhou En remained somewhat perplexed.
Professor Yang Ning ushered the two of them out and warmly invited them to dinner.
Xia Wan couldn’t decline, so they all went together.
Compared to their small county, the restaurants in the capital were more luxurious and offered private rooms.
Throughout the meal, Professor Yang Ning inquired about Xia Wan’s background. Her enthusiastic interest made Xia Wan contemplate feigning ignorance.
Upon learning that Xia Wan had a phone, Professor Yang Ning unabashedly asked for her number.
After saving the number, Professor Yang Ning addressed Xia Wan, “Wanwan, even if you don’t gain admission to Imperial University in the future, I hope you’ll consider enrolling here. Our teachers are exceptional, security is top-notch, and I have a soft spot for you.”
Zhou En found this peculiar. Professor Yang Ning at their school had extensive experience and was respected by students, but she rarely displayed such care for a student.
Xia Wan sensed that Professor Yang Ning genuinely wished to look after her.
After brief contemplation, she said, “Thank you for your kindness, teacher. There’s something I’d like to discuss with you.”
“If you have something on your mind, don’t hesitate to share it. You’re among friends here,” Professor Yang Ning encouraged with a smile.
“Teacher, have you been married for many years without being able to conceive?” Xia Wan asked directly.
Professor Yang Ning ceased laughing, her surprise evident. “How did you know?”
Xia Wan responded matter-of-factly, “When we were conversing earlier, I took your pulse and reached this conclusion.”
Professor Yang Ning was even more astonished. “You have knowledge of medicine?”
Xia Wan nodded. “My grandfather is the village doctor in my hometown. He served in the military when he was younger. I learned a great deal from him
and read numerous medical texts.”
“In our village, some individuals have experienced a similar condition to yours.
So, I ventured to guess that your situation might be comparable.”
Hope filled Professor Yang Ning’s eyes. “Wanwan, can you cure my condition?”
“Yes, absolutely,” Xia Wan affirmed. “If I’m not mistaken, you likely contracted a cold during your menstruation in your youth. The underlying cause of your condition dates back to that time.
“It has been a while since then. To fully resolve it, you’ll require both acupuncture and medication.
“However, I won’t be staying in the capital for long. Two days is clearly insufficient to treat your condition. If you trust me, you could visit my hometown when you find the time.
“After two weeks of continuous acupuncture, your condition should significantly improve. In the future, you’ll only need acupuncture three times a month.”
Without hesitation, Professor Yang Ning agreed, “Certainly. I’ve been teaching at the school for many years without taking a break. Now, in order to heal my body, I’ll request a leave of absence from the school.”
Xia Wan sensed a profound level of trust from Professor Yang Ning.
She had encountered patients before, but most initially doubted her medical skills. However, Professor Yang Ning displayed no such doubt..
