Chapter 309: Chapter 309: Taking Her Place_1

Although a bit confused, Xia Ningxing still modestly replied, "Thank you, Director, but it was really just a small effort on my part, you needn’t worry about it."

"This is not a trivial matter at all. You saved a comrade’s leg—it’s a big deal!" the institute’s director said with a smile, and then asked, "Does Miss Xia also understand Chinese medicine?"

"I know just a little," Xia Ningxing answered tactfully.

"Ningxing, don’t be so modest. Your medical skills are so remarkable, and yet you say ’just a little’—wouldn’t that make all the Chinese medicine practitioners in the world feel ashamed!" Tao Tao said, linking arms with Xia Ningxing and speaking with a warm expression, showering her with flattery:

"Director, you have no idea. Ningxing prescribed some Chinese medicine for me, and after I drank it, my ankle that was hurting terribly suddenly didn’t hurt much at all!"

"It’s simply a miracle cure!"

Xia Ningxing blushed slightly: "..."

In fact, it wasn’t that miraculous at all; seeing that the girl was in great pain, she had added an analgesic herb to the medicine, which temporarily numbed the nerves in her foot.

However, there was still some sensation of pain, just bearable—a level one or two type of pain. This was because if there was no pain at all, she worried the girl might think she was fully healed and start walking around, causing herself more trouble.

"Not bad, not bad." The director nodded and then asked, "Did Miss Xia study Chinese medicine in college?"

"No, I didn’t, Director," Xia Ningxing shook her head and forced a smile. "Don’t listen to Tao Tao’s exaggerations. I’m not that amazing; I just understand a bit about pharmacology."

After pondering for a moment, the director said, "Miss Xia, now that Jiang Rou is gone, our institute has no doctor, and even if I apply for a new one right now, it’ll probably be ten days or half a month before they can arrive. How about this, could you take on the role of the institute’s doctor temporarily?"

"Director, that’s absolutely out of the question. If I had formally studied medicine, I would be the first to volunteer, but I’m not a professional. I only know about pharmacology, so prescribing the right medicine for certain conditions I can do, but when it comes to diagnosing illnesses, I wouldn’t know where to begin." Upon hearing this, Xia Ningxing immediately refused without a second thought.

Practicing medicine was not a matter to be taken lightly.

Without the right expertise, one shouldn’t attempt to handle a task that could lead to problems.

In fact, Xia Ningxing felt quite embarrassed. Her knowledge of pharmacology was acquired simply to create a wider variety of perfume scents, and she had reluctantly learned about all sorts of plants and flowers.

Seeing her so earnest, the director reassured her, "It’s okay, you just need to deal with colds and fevers. If there’s a serious illness, we’ll transfer them to the hospital immediately."

"Then I shall respectfully comply," Xia Ningxing agreed, no longer rejecting the offer.

She was well-measured in her approach, with a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing, showing no signs of sycophancy or flattery.

Such behavior immediately earned the admiration of everyone present.

If it were them, they probably would have been currying favor with the leadership already, lavishly praising them and promising how well they would perform the job.

Alas, compared to Miss Xia, they really felt ashamed!

Xia Ningxing didn’t want to flatter not because she was unwilling, but because she knew that important people like the director preferred those who were sensible and got the job done, rather than those who spent all their time offering empty praises.

Jiang Rou, standing to the side and hearing this conversation, was so angry she nearly lost her soul.

She glared at Xia Ningxing with fury.

Bitch!

To think she had even taken over her position!

It made her so angry she could die all over again!
