Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 169 - 168: Lu Yanli Is One of the Unwilling Ones

Chapter 169: Chapter 168: Lu Yanli Is One of the Unwilling Ones

The two originally thought it would be Gu Jia Ning trying to win over Elder Chen to make him take her as his disciple.

So what did they see?

They saw Elder Chen laying out all sorts of conditions and advantages, coaxing Gu Jia Ning to become his disciple.

That’s right, the way Elder Chen was acting just now, wasn’t it coaxing?

It was like holding a piece of candy, coaxing a child, as if saying: Child, come with me. As long as you come with me, I’ll give you this candy, and there will be more candy ongoing.

The manner, no matter how you look at it, was obsequious. Honestly, it was their first time seeing Elder Chen like this.

It really opened their eyes.

Previously in their minds, Elder Chen was always serious, wise, and sometimes somewhat bad-tempered.

But now...

In front of Gu Jia Ning, Elder Chen seemed like the kindest and most good-tempered elder.

As for Elder Chen wanting to take Gu Jia Ning as his disciple.

They didn’t feel any envy.

After all, they understood their level of medical skill, and Elder Chen wouldn’t value them highly.

And they also knew that with their level, they couldn’t compare to Gu Jia Ning.

So, it was quite normal for Elder Chen to want to take Gu Jia Ning as his disciple.

They also knew that there were many advantages to being Elder Chen’s disciple, or rather, only benefits, no downsides.

Thus, persuading Gu Jia Ning to agree now is also for her own good.

Gu Jia Ning smiled, "Mm, I know, thank you all."

Although there were only a few doctors in their Chinese medicine department, Gu Jia Ning felt that whether it was Doctor Zhou, Dr. Lu, or Elder Chen, they were all very good and took care of her.

The atmosphere in their Chinese medicine department was also very good.

Gu Jia Ning really liked this environment; she disliked dealing with people who love intrigues the most.

So, being able to come to the Chinese medicine department was something she appreciated.

Doctor Zhou and Dr. Lu were also very happy to hear that Gu Jia Ning heeded their advice.

That night, Gu Jia Ning went back and told Sheng Zexi about it.

"It’s a good thing. Indeed, being Elder Chen’s disciple is only beneficial to you." Sheng Zexi agreed.

Sheng Zexi had interacted with Elder Chen, and he knew Elder Chen was someone who fiercely protected his own.

If Ningning became his disciple, there’d be one more person to protect her later, and he could feel more at ease when he was on assignments.

So, the next day, as Elder Chen looked on with eager and anxious eyes, Gu Jia Ning agreed to be his disciple.

"You agreed? You really agreed? Great, that’s great." Elder Chen was truly delighted.

The smile on his face couldn’t be restrained.

"Good disciple, rest assured, Master will definitely treat you well."

Of course, Elder Chen didn’t tell Gu Jia Ning that last night, he’d been worried sick all night, anxious about whether Gu Jia Ning would be willing to be his disciple.

Now, hearing Gu Jia Ning agree, he was overjoyed.

Gu Jia Ning: If I tell Master now that if he hadn’t interrupted me yesterday, I would’ve agreed on the spot, I wonder how he would feel. Probably wouldn’t be laughing right now.

However, Gu Jia Ning still had a conscience, respected her master, and also cared for the elder.

So, it’s better not to mention this matter.

Elder Chen took the acceptance of a disciple very seriously; even though Gu Jia Ning had agreed, there still had to be a formal disciple recognition ceremony.

Of course, the most important thing was to spread the news quickly.

Firstly, to tell those eyeing Gu Jia Ning that now this talented Xiao Gu is my disciple, so those with the idea of poaching talent better give up.

Secondly, to let everyone know that Gu Jia Ning is now under Elder Chen’s protection, and some people better not unknowingly get in the way, because Elder Chen is very protective.

When the news about Elder Chen taking Gu Jia Ning as his disciple spread, quite a few people were unhappy.

These were the ones who previously also wanted to be Elder Chen’s disciples.

It turned out that Elder Chen did not fancy them but chose a young female doctor who had just started working at the military hospital not long ago.

This made many people feel discontent.

Lu Yanli was one of those who felt discontent.

Lu Yanli was a female doctor in the internal medicine department, and ever since she came to the military hospital and learned about Elder Chen’s status and position from her husband, she had always wanted to be his disciple.

Lu Yanli’s husband was a commissar, with a significant position.

Before marrying her husband Zheng Weimin, Lu Yanli worked as a doctor in a county hospital in her hometown.

Although she was just a doctor in a county hospital, it was still a decent job, with a fixed monthly salary and specific benefits on holidays.

In the Lu Family, thanks to this job, Lu Yanli had always been the most respected person in the family.

Later, when it came time for Lu Yanli to get married, it was precisely because of this job that she met her current husband Zheng Weimin through a matchmaker.

Now, the two have been married for six years and have three children.

After military reassignment, Lu Yanli was transferred from her hometown county hospital to the military hospital as a doctor.

All along, Lu Yanli took pride in her profession as a doctor.

Many people held her in high regard because of her job.

Truth be told, Lu Yanli came from a rather ordinary family background. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

But she always knew that to live a better life, she needed to strive to climb higher and break through her socio-economic class.

If she didn’t strive to climb up, perhaps she would be like her sister, married off by her parents to the countryside, leading a life full of servitude to the family and having to look at everyone’s expressions.

But that kind of life wasn’t what Lu Yanli wanted.

She wanted to live the kind of life that was above most others.

So even now, as a doctor at the military hospital, she still felt it wasn’t enough.

And what Lu Yanli sought wasn’t to improve her medical skills, but to make connections.

Along the way, she had experienced so much.

She deeply realized that connections and networking were far more important than skills.

Just like back at the county hospital, many people with less ability than her ended up being her supervisors, simply because they had connections and backgrounds.

So, Lu Yanli knew that if she wanted to continue climbing, she needed networking and connections.

So when she learned about Elder Chen’s background and that he intended to take on disciples, she always wanted to become his disciple.

Over the years, she had been trying every possible way to get close to Elder Chen, even trying to win his favor.

But no matter how hard she tried, Elder Chen just wouldn’t take her as his disciple.

Years of attempts almost made Lu Yanli want to give up.

However, she thought, since she couldn’t become Elder Chen’s disciple, then no one else should either. So all along, with Elder Chen not taking other disciples, Lu Yanli hadn’t felt too concerned.

But now, upon hearing that Elder Chen was taking someone else as a disciple, and that person was a young female doctor who had just come to the military hospital, the moment Lu Yanli heard the news, her face darkened.
