Chapter 527: Chapter 527: Practice Makes Perfect
After getting away from Ouyang Huihui, Luo Ziling sneezed several tis heavily.
“Who’s cursing ? It must be Ouyang Huihui,” Luo Ziling vigorously rubbed his nose and couldn’t help but murmur, “Won are really petty, I should be more careful in the future.”
The morning class was Advanced Mathematics, and Luo Ziling, who didn’t understand a thing, was still dazed in class. The series and calculus Mr. Wang talked about seed like a book of secrets to him, utterly incomprehensible.
Drowsiness was irresistible, and in the end, he only managed to stay awake by sheer willpower, otherwise he really couldn’t have stopped himself from falling asleep.
If he fell asleep during Wang Tongshan’s Advanced Mathematics class, he might really anger the little old man, and even if Wang Tongshan didn’t explode on the spot, his impression of Luo Ziling would definitely suffer. Luo Ziling was acutely aware of this. However, his dazed expression still caught Mr. Wang’s attention. After the class, Wang Tongshan called Luo Ziling out of the classroom to inquire about his situation.
“Ziling, I don’t know what you think of my Advanced Mathematics class, but I noticed that you weren’t listening attentively during class. Do you not wish to attend my class, or is there another reason?” Wang Tongshan was straightforward, so he asked directly.
Luo Ziling hesitated for a mont, then answered truthfully, “I don’t understand it, because I’ve never studied Advanced Mathematics. I didn’t understand middle school or high school math either.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Tongshan was stunned. “Then how did you get into Yan University?”
“I was specially admitted!”
“Because of your dical talent?”
“Yes,” Luo Ziling didn’t deny, “My family wanted to learn so Western dicine knowledge and get to know more about dical-related fields, so they sent to study at the dical University.”
“Then why didn’t you go to the College of Traditional Chinese dicine?” The little old man asked like a nosy teenager, persistently probing.
“The people at the College of Traditional Chinese dicine can’t teach ; I could teach them instead,” Luo Ziling said with pride, and then added, “That’s what my grandfather said.”
Wang Tongshan looked at Luo Ziling earnestly for a mont, then stopped asking any further questions and just patted him significantly on the shoulder, “Okay, I understand. When the exam cos up, um, just co to my office after the exam.”
Luo Ziling was very happy to hear that and imdiately agreed, “Okay.”
“Actually, Advanced Mathematics isn’t that useful, at least for most people,” Wang Tongshan said a half-serious joke, “Every ti I go to the market to buy groceries, I can’t out-calculate those won who only have an elentary school education, or even so who are completely illiterate, when it cos to prices like seven yuan and eighty cents per pound for five pounds and six liang. I have to pull out my phone and use a calculator to figure it out, but the sellers co up with the numbers instantly.”
“Heh,” Luo Ziling couldn’t help but laugh, “That really happens, I guess it’s a matter of practice makes perfect!”
“Just like those with master’s or doctoral degrees, their ability to treat patients isn’t as good as a dical student like you who hasn’t received his diploma yet. True masters are found among the common folks!” Wang Tongshan said, smiling, “What’s learned in the classroom is dead knowledge; it only cos alive when applied in life, in practice, especially for dical students. Your dical skills are impressive, your foundation solid. Study your professional courses well, master both traditional Chinese and Western dicine, and you will surely achieve great success. Congratulations in advance.”
“Thank you, Mr. Wang,” Luo Ziling expressed his sincere thanks.
“What about the thing I ntioned last ti? How have you considered it?” Wang Tongshan brought up the matter they had discussed previously, “My friend’s friend, whose ancestors are also notable in the dical field, is very interested in your acupuncture skill and wants to exchange ideas and spar with you. If you’re interested and have the ti, I can arrange a eting for you.”
Seeing Luo Ziling hesitate, Wang Tongshan quickly added, “A dical exchange, sparring over dical skills can improve both parties. I hope you won’t refuse.”
“Alright,” this intrigued Luo Ziling, and he nodded in agreent, “Let’s talk about it after these two weeks. I’ve got quite a lot going on this half a month; I probably won’t have the ti or energy.”
“Then I’ll let them know, and we can arrange a specific ti later,” Wang Tongshan didn’t say anything further, just patted Luo Ziling on the shoulder and walked away.
But after a few steps, he stopped, turned to Luo Ziling, and said, “Your dical skills are indeed impressive. Those authorities in cardiovascular dicine all said you perford a miracle on . Thanks to the follow-up rehabilitation treatnt, I recovered much earlier than the average patient and didn’t suffer any sequelae. I’m very grateful to you. If I feel unwell next ti, I’ll seek your treatnt, and you can na your fee.”
Before Luo Ziling could reply, Wang Tongshan had already walked away.
Soon enough, Cao Jianhui and the other two erged from so corner.
“Boss, what did Mr. Wang say to you?” Li Fuming was quick on his feet and rushed to Luo Ziling’s side before Cao Jianhui, asking curiously.
“Did he tell you he has a beautiful daughter, and he wants to betroth her to you?” Wu Longjiang’s head popped out from behind Li Fuming, also full of gossip.
“Go away, go away, go away,” Cao Jianhui, not as agile as the other two fellows, ended up being outpaced by Li Fuming and Wu Longjiang, and felt a bit irritated. Kicking them in the behind, he rushed up to Luo Ziling and asked with a sleazy look, “We know that Teacher Wang Tongshan indeed has a beautiful daughter here in our school. Hehe, is he trying to recruit you as a son-in-law?”
“What are you talking about?” Luo Ziling looked at the three guys in surprise, “He was only asking if I understood the lesson.”
“Cut it out, we don’t believe that,” Cao Jianhui said disdainfully, “Stop hiding it from us.”
“Exactly,” Li Fuming pushed Wu Longjiang away and squeezed next to Luo Ziling, “I say Boss, you already have enough beauties around you. If there’s an opportunity like this, you might as well pass it to us. Hehe, look how handso I am, just a bit less than you. Why don’t you leave Mr. Wang’s daughter for ?”
Li Fuming’s words successfully infuriated Cao Jianhui and Wu Longjiang, who grabbed him and started throwing punches and kicks.
“That’s for being ahead, that’s for being ahead,” Cao Jianhui kicked Li Fuming’s buttocks twice, then resentfully said, “Even I haven’t bragged about being handso, so how can you dare say you look good?”
“Exactly,” Wu Longjiang chid in with hostility, “So shaless, out of the four of us, you’re definitely the last in terms of looks. You won’t be getting any beauties.”
Watching the three of them clowning around together, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
“How about this, whoever is willing to buy breakfast for every day will get introduced to beauties I et in the future; otherwise, forget it.”
Luo Ziling’s words successfully drew wails from the three guys.
