Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 168 - 167: "Xiao Gu, Are You Willing to Become My Disciple?

Chapter 168: Chapter 167: "Xiao Gu, Are You Willing to Become My Disciple?

On Elder Chen, there was both erudite knowledge and rich experience, precisely what she needed.

She also observed Chen’s intention to teach, so she studied earnestly.

After treating Elder Chen as a teacher, she became closer to him.

Knowing that Elder Chen liked food, she would exchange some things from the system that wouldn’t seem out of place in current times and give them to Elder Chen.

At first, Elder Chen would decline, but later on, every time he came, there was an expectation in his eyes.

On this day, Elder Chen came again, and after the discussion of a certain condition, Elder Chen suddenly asked, "Xiao Gu, would you like to become my disciple?"

Upon asking this question, Elder Chen himself let out a sigh of relief.

In truth, he had long wanted to say this, but had held back until today, suppressing it for quite some time, and now he couldn’t hold back any longer.

Only because Gu Jia Ning truly satisfied him.

He feared that if he didn’t accept her as a disciple, and if Xiao Gu was discovered by someone else, then this disciple would disappear into thin air.

Initially, when Elder Chen called for Gu Jia Ning to join the Traditional Chinese Medicine department, he hadn’t intended to take her as a disciple.

He wanted to take on a disciple, but such a master-disciple relationship is akin to a parent-child relationship, not simple at all. Particularly with Elder Chen’s current status and position, taking on a disciple was something he had to approach with caution, with extreme caution.

Medical talent is important, but character is crucial too.

Elder Chen had seen many instances of people being betrayed by those close to them, so such a thing could never happen to him.

At first, he called Gu Jia Ning to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department because there was truly a shortage of people.

Secondly, having heard that she was talented, he also hoped that this cold and declining department could welcome a good doctor.

And so, Gu Jia Ning arrived.

After Gu Jia Ning came in, although Elder Chen didn’t often come to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department, whenever he did, he would observe Gu Jia Ning.

Initially, it was observation, but later he couldn’t help but make contact, discuss,

And the more he contacted and discussed, the more favorable his impression of Gu Jia Ning became.

Of course, this good impression was not for any other reason, but an appreciation for a junior, the more contact, the more he felt that this junior, Gu Jia Ning, was glowing, making him eager to take her as a disciple.

Initially, he felt Gu Jia Ning had medical talent; later, after discussions, he thought her medical knowledge was very broad, almost able to respond to everything he mentioned.

Mind you, they had decades of experience between them.

From this, one could see how extensive Gu Jia Ning’s medical knowledge was.

Moreover, he discovered that Gu Jia Ning had an excellent memory, practically able to read ten lines at a glance, with her photographic memory.

Couple that with such high medical talent,

Elder Chen was confident that as long as Gu Jia Ning continued down the path of medicine, her future medical accomplishments would surpass his by far.

Having such a protégé, taking her on as a disciple, is indeed a great event, isn’t it?

Moreover, what made Elder Chen even more resolved to take Gu Jia Ning as a disciple was the previous incident of the landslide.

Whether it was Gu Jia Ning, pregnant, treating patients tirelessly for a day and a night, or her rescuing the military dog named Amber, all of this made Elder Chen’s impression of her improve more and more.

It could be said that Gu Jia Ning had gained Elder Chen’s approval both in character and medical skill.

Elder Chen thought no one could be more suited to be his disciple than Gu Jia Ning.

He felt Gu Jia Ning was like gold, shimmering brightly.

Currently, only he saw Gu Jia Ning’s brilliance in medicine; if he didn’t act quickly and take her as a disciple, once she stepped out from the Northwest Military Region and into a larger world, others would surely notice her brilliance as well.

By then, this piece of gold might be taken away by someone else.

Thus, today Elder Chen finally could not resist asking.

After asking, he felt both relieved and anxious.

He didn’t know whether Xiao Gu would agree.

Faced with Elder Chen’s inquiry, Gu Jia Ning was momentarily stunned, then opened her mouth as if to say something.

Just as her lips began to move,

Elder Chen spoke first.

"Wait, don’t answer just yet."

"Xiao Gu, I think you don’t know me well enough yet, I feel it’s necessary to first introduce myself to you..."

Thus, Elder Chen began to introduce himself, and naturally, inserted quite a bit of personal bias.

For instance, he would mention his current status and position, the honors he had received, his connections, and the benefits of becoming his disciple, and so forth.

In summary, it all boiled down to this: be my disciple, I will definitely teach you wholeheartedly, give you access to all my networks, and protect you, treating you like my granddaughter.

"So, come be my disciple."

Gu Jia Ning blinked, wanting to say something again.

But once more, before she could speak, Elder Chen raised his hand to interrupt her.

"Forget it, such an important matter, I reckon you can’t decide immediately."

"How about you go home and discuss it with your husband, and reply to me tomorrow."

"I have something to tend to, so I’ll leave now."

Finishing, without waiting for Gu Jia Ning’s answer, he left.

Elder Chen would never admit he was a bit nervous, and in his nervousness, he just escaped first.

While escaping, he prayed in his heart that this young lady would think it through clearly, that becoming his disciple was only beneficial, without any downsides.

Did Gu Jia Ning know the benefits of being Elder Chen’s disciple?

Of course, she knew!

Even if Elder Chen hadn’t given that introduction today, she had heard quite a bit from Doctor Zhou.

It’s just...

At this moment, Gu Jia Ning reached out with an extended hand towards Elder Chen’s retreating figure.

Watching Elder Chen’s swiftly disappearing silhouette.

Gu Jia Ning mused to herself, Elder Chen really is in good shape, his legs and feet aren’t inferior to those of young people.

Then, she thought to herself: actually, she wanted to tell Elder Chen right away that she was willing to be his disciple, without needing to go back and think it over with anyone.

She could agree immediately.

Yet...

Elder Chen had fled.

Forget it, she’ll answer him tomorrow then.

She wondered what Elder Chen’s mood would be tomorrow when he found out.

Forget it, maybe it’s best not to tell Elder Chen.

After Elder Chen left, Doctor Zhou and Dr. Lu came over.

Doctor Zhou blinked her large eyes, "Doctor Gu, I didn’t say anything wrong, right? From the start, Elder Chen brought you into the Traditional Chinese Medicine department to take you on as a disciple, and now, it turns out I guessed correctly."

"Doctor Gu, that’s Elder Chen, you must agree to this."

Doctor Zhou and Dr. Lu hadn’t meant to overhear Elder Chen and Gu Jia Ning’s conversation; it was also by chance they were passing by, plus Elder Chen and Gu Jia Ning hadn’t been speaking quietly, so they heard it.

They had previously speculated that Elder Chen was planning to take Gu Jia Ning as a disciple, and now, it turns out they guessed right.
