Smith walked up to Bai Xiao and bowed deeply, "Dr. Bai, I sincerely apologize for my rudeness and disrespect just now. My understanding of China’s Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture was far too shallow and arrogant. Here, I offer my solemn apology and hope you won’t mind my earlier offense. You’ve won our four votes in the ballot."
A true defeat, with no bitterness. It took just ten minutes to shatter your arrogance.
Mike also approached Bai Xiao, "Dr. Bai! I really didn’t expect the charm of China’s Traditional Chinese Medicine to be so captivating. My eyes have truly been opened. Since that elder gentleman last time, I never thought that China would have so many talented practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I’ve suddenly grown curious about your integrative approach to treating cancer. Can you explain in detail how it works?"
Everyone has a survival instinct; no one likes to face death.
If you can live, you won’t want to die.
Bai Xiao glanced at Dr. Xue, "Mr. Mike, regarding this theory, I’m afraid you’ll need to discuss it with Dr. Xue. After all, I can’t provide assistance on Western surgery aspects. I specialize in Traditional Chinese Medicine. However, I can offer a treatment plan to plement your existing approach, but you must understand that these treatments are highly personalized. Effectiveness is just as variable. No medical practice can guarantee to cure all illnesses, but I believe that conservative treatments in Traditional Chinese Medicine can reduce patients’ pain pared to chemotherapy. However, the outes might not reach perfection either—every medical breakthrough requires validation."
Dr. Xue nodded, "That’s certainly true. However, Dr. Bai is a brilliant doctor." The unreserved praise won admiration from both Smith and Mike. Foreigners don’t care for that whole humility routine.
The subsequent discussions had nothing to do with Bai Xiao. Watching Dr. Xue, Smith, and Mike engrossed in their conversation, Bai Xiao quietly bid farewell to Liu Hongmin. She had no role to play here; her work was done. As long as she had won over Smith and Mike’s approval this time, the uping petition would naturally fall into place.
Good luck, classmates.
Liu Hongmin covered for her, allowing her to slip away undetected.
"Dr. Bai, don’t leave. I still have something to discuss with you." Dr. Xue, of course, wouldn’t let Bai Xiao go so easily. How could he let go of a capable hand he had just managed to wrangle?
Bai Xiao froze.
There’s still something for her?
She’d already done her good deed by winning over Smith and Mike. Four votes in the ballot—what more could they want?
But what could she do?
Resist?
Don’t be ridiculous! This wasn’t a war, nor was she standing up against oppressive forces. Everyone in this room bined could count as her teachers. Did she want to fail? Did she want to graduate or not?
For the sake of her diploma, she couldn’t afford to argue!
"Dr. Xue, is there something else? Are you dealing with arthritis or a herniated disc? I guarantee two needles will sort you out perfectly." Flattery always works, right?
Anything to get out of this.
Dr. Xue laughed.
"Dr. Bai, I must say, even though I didn’t mention it, you guessed correctly! I do indeed suffer from arthritis and a herniated disc. One day, you really must treat me with two needles—I’ll be waiting for that! But today, that’s not the issue." Dr. Xue couldn’t care less about Smith and Mike, the honored guests; he was just afraid Bai Xiao would escape.
This girl was as slippery as an eel. Once she got away, catching her again would be much harder.
She probably had a thousand excuses lined up to dodge him.
"I happen to have a suturing practice class, and I’m short one assistant. e help me out. Oh, look at the time—it’s class time already. Let’s go, my assistant!" Dr. Xue had made up his mind to cultivate in Bai Xiao a passion for surgery, starting from the very basics.
