From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor-Chapter 277 - 253: Is It Authentic?

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, Xu Chunliang might have thought that the owner of this pulse was a seven or eight-year-old child. Medicine can cure diseases, but it cannot fundamentally change a person's pulse.

Xu Chunliang almost instantly judged that Luan Yuchuan's meridians had undergone changes akin to the Book of Changes marrow cleansing, which typically only cultivation can achieve.

However, when he previously diagnosed Luan Yuchuan's pulse, he hadn't noticed that Luan Yuchuan had practiced martial arts, but now Luan Yuchuan's pulse was clearly that of a cultivator.

Xu Chunliang moved his fingers away, yet his heart became increasingly puzzled.

Luan Yuchuan asked, "How is it?"

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Congratulations, President Luan, your body seems to have recovered."

Luan Yuchuan laughed and said, "It could be said to be my good fortune. I now truly believe in the profoundness of traditional Chinese medicine, which Western medicine cannot compare to."

Xu Chunliang said, "Each has its own strengths, Eastern and Western medicine both excel in different areas."

Luan Yuchuan said, "Director Su didn't believe it either, but after seeing my test results, he was completely convinced." The Director Su he was referring to is Su Yunquan, the head of the cardiology department at the Provincial People's Hospital.

In Xu Chunliang's mind, even if Su Yunquan didn't believe it, if he hadn't felt the pulse himself, he wouldn't have believed it either. Luan Yuchuan's transformation was truly astonishing. Even with cultivation, such a transformation couldn't be achieved in less than half a year unless he had a fortuitous encounter. Xu Chunliang could ascertain that someone must have helped him unblock his meridians.

As far as Xu Chunliang knew, the Shaolin Yijinjing can achieve such effects, and the Nourishing Life section of the Inner Canon of Huangdi should be able to as well. Given Luan Yuchuan's status and wealth, he naturally had more ways to solve problems than others.

Luan Yuchuan asked Xu Chunliang why he came to the hospital, and Xu Chunliang told him about visiting a friend. Luan Yuchuan immediately offered his help in making introductions.

Xu Chunliang expressed his gratitude for the kindness. Tong Guangsheng's hospitalization was due to Shu Yuanhang's arrangements. Although Shu Yuanhang wasn't in the country, he was very prominent in the medical field, specifically in cardiothoracic surgery. His wife, Ruan Xingmei, was also an expert in hematology, and the couple was professional insiders, so there would definitely be no issues with their arrangements.

Even Tong Guangsheng had extensive connections; not to mention, just his comrades in arms could arrange things here properly. From the ward where Tong Guangsheng stayed, it was clear that the Provincial People's Hospital was giving him a lot of care.

Luan Yuchuan had the driver send Xu Chunliang to the Nanjiang Party School. After Xu Chunliang got out of the car, he followed and got out as well, looking at the gate of the Nanjiang Party School, saying, "This is the cadre training base of Pinghai. Xiaoxu, the future is promising."

Xu Chunliang modestly said, "My education isn't good, I don't have much of a future."

Luan Yuchuan asked, "Which university did you graduate from?"

Xu Chunliang now deeply understood the importance of education. Even with much support around him, a mere high school diploma was destined to limit his prospects, so he saw no need to hide the truth from Luan Yuchuan.

Upon hearing Xu Chunliang was just a high school graduate, Luan Yuchuan was a bit surprised. In today's credential-focused world, it was difficult for a high school graduate to get into a top-tier hospital, let alone quickly rise to a cadre and make it to the Nanjiang Party School.

After a little thought, Luan Yuchuan identified Xu Chunliang's current shortcoming, smiling, "Your education may indeed be lacking, but this is easy to fix if you find the right person."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "You aren't suggesting I find someone to make a fake university diploma, are you?"

Luan Yuchuan laughed heartily, "Do you think the academic records system is just for show? I'll help you solve this."

Xu Chunliang said, "There's no need to trouble you, besides, I don't want to pursue a diploma through correspondence courses."

Luan Yuchuan said, "It's no trouble at all; you don't necessarily have to study to get a diploma." He patted Xu Chunliang on the shoulder, then got into the car and drove away.

Initially, Xu Chunliang didn't take the matter to heart, but the next day, Mo Han contacted him, saying she wanted to talk and asked him to have his ID ready.

Xu Chunliang had classes in the morning, so he arranged to meet Mo Han in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, Mo Han came directly to the Nanjiang Party School, and Xu Chunliang arranged to meet her at the school library.

The library provided free black tea and coffee. Dressed in all black and wearing sunglasses, Mo Han looked very stylish, both beautiful and cool.

Xu Chunliang invited her to sit by the floor-to-ceiling window and brought two cups of free coffee.

Mo Han teased, "You're definitely going to make a fortune in the future. Working like this, how could you not?"

Xu Chunliang laughed, "How can a salary man like me compare to a super white-collar worker like you? The environment here is elegant, and the coffee is good; it's no worse than Starbucks."

Mo Han took a sip of the coffee, "You're right, this coffee is from Starbucks."

"I knew it."

"I've seen frugal men, but few can be so frugal and yet so unabashed about it."

Xu Chunliang said, "I'm poor. If I had your income, I'd definitely treat you to French food and Lafite."

Mo Han laughed, her fair face showing two shallow dimples, which were very adorable.

Xu Chunliang said, "Those sunglasses look good; they seem expensive, no wonder you can't bear to take them off."

Mo Han glared at him through her sunglasses. The afternoon sun was a bit glaring, giving her a reason not to take them off: "Do you have your ID?"

Xu Chunliang put it on the table. Mo Han reached out to take it, but Xu Chunliang pressed down on a corner of the ID card: "You're not going to do anything bad with it, right?"

Mo Han said, "If you don't trust me, then forget it. If it weren't for President Luan asking me to come, I wouldn't have bothered making this trip."

"What did he want you to see me for?" Xu Chunliang actually guessed that it was probably about his education.

Mo Han said, "Let me explain: President Luan said you complained to him about not having a degree, so he's planning to help you out."

"How's he going to help me? Let's be clear, I don't want any fake certificates!"

"You wish. Being too suspicious isn't a good thing." Mo Han gave him a quick lesson. Yesterday, Luan Yuchuan heard he was only a high school graduate and didn't want to waste time on correspondence courses, so it just so happened that Luan Yuchuan had resources.

Five years ago, Luan Yuchuan invested in establishing a private university in Northern Ireland, the only institution entrusted by ICEA to cultivate professional talent. Northern Ireland is a member of the European Community, and the degrees awarded by this Europe Business School are widely recognized internationally.

The undergraduate program can be completed in two years, a master's in one year, and a doctorate in two years. If Xu Chunliang is willing, he can earn a doctorate in five years. Mo Han can arrange everything for him, and there's no need to go abroad. The program involves concentrated teaching and self-study methods.

Every month, you'll need to dedicate a week to attend classes in Capital City. Depending on the major, there are about 9-10 courses. Upon completion and passing exams, you can earn internationally recognized bachelor's, master's, and even doctoral degrees.

Xu Chunliang was dumbfounded. He originally thought a doctorate was unreachable, but after hearing Mo Han, he realized getting a diploma through their channels seemed like a joke.

Xu Chunliang couldn't help but ask, "Are these degrees authentic?"

Mo Han said, "If you don't believe it, you don't have to join. Anyway, President Luan is keen on helping you, and he even asked me to arrange a scholarship for you. You don't spend money but just a little time to get a few diplomas. Opportunities like this are rare."

Seeing him all suspicious, Mo Han couldn't help but remind him.

Xu Chunliang asked, "What degree do you have?"

Mo Han said, "I graduated from Yanjing University."

"If the Europe Business School is so easy, why didn't you get a doctorate certificate?"

Mo Han said, "I don't need it. Let me be honest, the Europe Business School is meant for people like you who can't get into a good university but still want a decent degree."

"Got it, it's a diploma mill."

Mo Han couldn't help but laugh: "With your conditions, you're still being picky. Just give me a straightforward answer, are you in or not?"

"I'm in! Absolutely. You've come all this way, with such sincerity. How could I refuse?"

Mo Han found something odd about that statement, hoping it wasn't just his imagination. He reached again for Xu Chunliang's ID.

Xu Chunliang said, "Get me a combined bachelor, master, and doctorate."

Mo Han took off his sunglasses, glanced at the photo on Xu Chunliang's ID, and couldn't help but laugh: "You're so silly!"

Xu Chunliang's photo was taken when he first arrived in this era; he was still naive and knew little about the world at that time, so looking a bit silly was normal.

"I'm not silly, I'm pure and honest."

Mo Han said, "I know your name. Right, go make a copy, and I'll help you with the admission procedures now."

Xu Chunliang took his ID to the library for copying. A classmate, Yan Jingsong, from Dongzhou Bell Tower District, currently the secretary to the district chief, came over.

Xu Chunliang wasn't great with the copier and couldn't copy both sides of his ID onto one sheet. Yan Jingsong helped him make a few copies, glanced at Mo Han by the window, and whispered, "Xiaoxu, you have some luck with women, knowing so many beautiful girls."

Xu Chunliang sighed and said, "Everyone has their troubles. You don't know the pain of being pursued."

Yan Jingsong thought to himself, "Are you sure you're not showing off? Being pursued by such beauties is painful?" He whispered, "I can help you with that pain."

Xu Chunliang chuckled, and so did Yan Jingsong. Xu Chunliang inwardly cursed, "shameless," but it's normal for others to envy him. The love of beauty is in everyone's heart, so there's no need for harsh words. After all, they'll be in training together later.

With his copied ID, Xu Chunliang returned to Mo Han, who showed him the completed forms. Xu Chunliang picked them up and pretended to look them over. They were all in English, which he didn't understand.

Mo Han said, "Look carefully. Once you sign, there's no turning back."

Xu Chunliang said, "How about I take them home to study, and you come back for them tomorrow?"

Mo Han said, "Afraid I'm conning you? I knew you were suspicious. I don't have time to waste on you. If you don't sign today, I won't deal with you anymore."

Xu Chunliang said, "I should be afraid of you?"

Mo Han said, "Exactly, don't you know your own worth? You aren't worth much!"
