“What area are you interested in? Do you just want to make some pocket money, or are you thinking of building a career?” Gu Qingyao asked. “You’ve studied medicine. Are you thinking of developing in that direction?”
Qin Si bowed her head. “That’s what bothers me. To be honest, I quite enjoy being a doctor. I’ve studied medicine since I was young. If I were not interested in this area, I would not have spent so much energy on this subject and pursued this line of study for so long.
“If I were overseas, I might just find a job in a better hospital. But in China, I don’t know where I should go. Recently, I’ve learnt a lot from my grandmother, but I’m just helping out, and it’s not a real job.
“And you? What are you thinking of doing?”
Gu Qingyao said, “I’ll go into business and medicine. But I won’t look for a position in a hospital. I’m thinking of starting my own hospital and teaching students.”
Qin Si was shocked!
“You… You want to start your own hospital? And teach students?”
Gu Qingyao picked up a cup of hot tea from the table and cradled it in her hands. She nodded. “That’s right! I’m just one person. There is a limit to what I can do. Isn’t it better to teach more students? I’m more interested in medical research rather than spending all my time seeing and treating patients. That’s not the best use of my abilities.”
In the next few decades, medical treatment would become a major problem.
Gu Qingyao had confidence in her own medical skills. At her level, she should focus on raising the standards in the medical community and achieving more medical breakthroughs that would benefit everyone. Not just see patients over and over again.
Qin Si grew quiet. She felt that she could not attain Gu Qingyao’s ideal.
Her father had told her about her grandmother since she was young, so she knew that her family was the Jiangnan Medical Family.
She deeply respected her grandmother, so she was interested in medicine from a young age. Her father had been very supportive of her studying medicine. It felt as though she was carrying on the family profession.
But her medical abilities could not compare to Gu Qingyao’s. Grandmother said that Gu Qingyao’s medical talent was greater even than hers, the most famous doctor in Jiangnan. It was completely normal for Gu Qingyao to have these ideas.
But this path was not suitable for her. She preferred working as a doctor.
Qin Si said, “I feel that I would rather have my own job! I’ll find a suitable hospital and gain some experience. As for earning money, I don’t intend to have a career. I just need some pocket money.”
She did not need Gu Qingyao to help her plan what to do. The Qin family had its roots in business. With a father like Qin Zhiyuan and an older brother like Qin Li, Qin Si could do whatever she liked.
When she heard that Gu Qingyao wanted to start her own hospital and teach students, Jiang Yiru leaned over. “Do you have plans in this area? Where is your hospital going to be?”
Gu Qingyao was taken aback!
Jiang Yiru laughed. “Your Grandfather Qin and I are thinking of retiring to our hometown. If you want to start a hospital, we can lend a hand when we’re free. We can offer some consultations, or help out with the children, or teach a little.”
Gu Qingyao was surprised by Jiang Yiru’s words. “Teacher, are you thinking of giving up your current job?”
Old Master Qin laughed. “Your teacher and I are growing old. We want to enjoy our last years. Most importantly, daily work no longer suits us.. There’s such a high volume of work that we can’t manage. We can do a little work here and there, but we can’t go to work on time every day anymore!”
