Chapter 1905: Chapter 1905: Seduction

“If you want to keep cleaning toilets for another month, go ahead and shout,” Luo Ziling replied coldly, not caring about saving face for Dong Qichang at all. He continued, “As you just saw, my cousins are all getting punished there.

“Alright, Xiaowan, stop being mischievous,” Dong Qichang angrily glared at Dong Xiaowan, signaling her to sit down and stop talking nonsense.

Reluctantly, Dong Xiaowan sat down, her gaze at Luo Ziling filled with hostility.

“This matter, President Li has personally inquired about, and a notice will be out soon. Yan University is already planning to enroll Traditional Chinese Medicine students next semester.” Luo Ziling briefly explained the situation and then asked the elderly gentlemen present, “With Yan University’s prestigious reputation, there will surely be many applicants for the Traditional Chinese Medicine program. If admissions really start, we will be the ones teaching. I want to know if you are prepared to teach? Can you manage teaching while also participating in research?”

“We’ve always been lecturing part-time at other colleges,” Wang Xuyun replied with a chuckle, showing a lack of concern.

“Before, you only lectured part-time, and after finishing your class, you didn’t need to worry about other things. Also, you only taught a few classes a month. But teaching at Yan University would require several classes a week. Moreover, you will need to write your own teaching materials. I’ve looked at the Traditional Chinese Medicine textbooks from other colleges; let’s just say they are things we’ve discarded, not very useful, but not garbage either. To teach good students, we must pass on our expertise to them. Therefore, the teaching materials must be written by us, and we will only teach useful things,” Luo Ziling emphasized seriously. “Teaching at Yan University won’t be as easy as you say. Don’t embarrass yourselves, and don’t embarrass me either.”

“Then lend us your teaching materials for reference,” He Yan, the thick-skinned of the lot, directly asked Luo Ziling for his lecture notes.

He knew that if Luo Ziling had lecture notes, they would definitely contain excellent traditional medical theory, and they could learn something from them.

Truth be told, these old men had minds unlike the average person.

“If I’m teaching, I certainly don’t need lecture notes,” Luo Ziling said without any modesty, “What I know is well memorized. However, I might make a PowerPoint presentation to teach in the form of slides.”

While saying this, Luo Ziling looked at Dong Xiaowan.

This woman bragged about her capabilities, graduating from university before she was twenty, always an outstanding student, skipping several grades, and excelling in all subjects.

Since she boasted like that, the task of creating teaching PPTs should be given to her, to see if she could complete it.

“Then when the time comes, let us have a look at your PPT,” Wang Xuyun couldn’t help but express his delight, “Let us learn from it too.”

“Alright then, at that time, we’ll discuss how to divide the teaching tasks, it definitely needs planning.” The foundational subjects must be taught, as arranged by the Ministry of Education. As for who teaches which class, Luo Ziling felt it should be decided after discussing it.

He also believed that anyone could competently teach, given everyone’s knowledge level.

The knowledge level of those compiling Traditional Chinese Medicine materials couldn’t compare to the elderly gentlemen he had by his side.

Luo Ziling believed the disciples they taught would be practical and unmatched by graduates from other traditional Chinese medicine universities. Of course, the prerequisite is that these old men are willing to pass on their true skills.

When the dishes were served, Luo Ziling toasted them one by one, apologizing for not interacting more with them since they came to the Capital, and expressing gratitude for their willingness to train more students.

During the meal, Luo Ziling talked about the establishment of the Traditional Medicine program and the operation of the newly established national laboratory.

This information came from what Li Jinhui and Wu Mingyun mentioned earlier.

Basically, besides these core members, many other support staff are also needed.

“There are many disciples around you, and some have already achieved certain accomplishments. Let them come to Yanjing too. With titles and positions, they might even get to meet leaders or win major awards,” Luo Ziling tempted, “In the future, someone might become an academy leader or even enter politics.”

Luo Ziling’s words immediately sparked interest in someone.

However, the person who was interested didn’t show it and didn’t even ask for details.

Dong Xiaowan, long lost her temper, curiously asked what benefits there would be for her if she participated in teaching and research.

“You might become the most beautiful professor at Yan University, voted as the most beautiful teacher by the students, known throughout Huaxia,”

Luo Ziling’s words made Dong Xiaowan thrilled, immediately declaring her desire to participate in teaching, claiming she was proficient in traditional medicine knowledge and enjoyed lecturing, confident she could teach well.

Moreover, she also enjoyed doing research. She often concocted medicines with others before, and asked Luo Ziling to give her the opportunity.

While speaking, Dong Xiaowan saw her grandfather Dong Qichang’s meaningful look, quickly understanding the implication, asking Luo Ziling to elaborate more on related details.

Luo Ziling shared the information he had just learned from chatting with Li Jinhui and Wu Mingyun, and personally guaranteed that as long as they were willing to contribute their knowledge and let more disciples help promote Huaxia’s traditional medicine, he would fight for their maximum benefit.

However, Luo Ziling’s candor did not result in a direct response from the old men, who merely said they would think it over.

Luo Ziling didn’t push, only continuing to toast them.

These old men usually enjoyed drinking a little, and their alcohol tolerance wasn’t bad.

They also had a mischievous thought, wanting to get Luo Ziling drunk.

But Luo Ziling came prepared, having taken hangover medicine before drinking, and choosing white wine instead of strong-tasting red wine.

White wine was strong, and the older folks generally couldn’t drink much, especially elders like He Yan and Dong Qichang, who were careful about maintaining their health.

They drank a few more glasses, trying to get Luo Ziling drunk.

Seeing Luo Ziling handle a lot of alcohol without issue, they wisely stopped and didn’t drink more.

But Dong Xiaowan didn’t understand her limits; she knew her grandfather and the other elders intended to get Luo Ziling drunk for revenge.

Thus, she joined in the fray.

Though her drinking skills were mediocre, she drank several glasses.

Unfortunately, she didn’t succeed in getting Luo Ziling drunk; instead, she ended up drinking too much herself.

Having drunk too much, her actions and words became uncontrollable.
