Shen Yugui couldn't tolerate it any longer. He got up and slammed the table, then glared at Cheng Wu furiously as he raised his voice. "Professor Cheng, Qiao Nian can choose not to enroll in our Chinese Medicine Faculty, but I don't agree with what you've said. We're educators, we have to teach people before we teach knowledge!"
Cheng Wu wasn't bothered by his words, and instead calmly countered him with a question. "Does the Chinese Medicine Faculty have the ability to nurture a good talent? You don't have what it takes to groom her, and yet you're encouraging her to join your faculty. How is this any different from ruining her? I'm just trying to salvage a talent, is this not teaching a person?"
Shen Yugui felt as if he had been slapped on the face. His expression was awful. If he was as hot-tempered as before, he would have started arguing with Cheng Wu, or even fighting with him. But now... he just clenched his fists while the veins in his forehead popped. He couldn't deny what Cheng Wu said.
The Chinese Medicine Faculty hadn't been doing very well over the years, and the budget they were receiving was limited too.
For clinical and research-based studies, the best departments would receive the best research projects, and a correspondingly large amount of budget to fund the studies.
Their Chinese Medicine Faculty hadn't gotten funding in years.
Their infrastructure and hardware were the worst in the school. As for the teachers, this generation of lecturers was not impressive, especially without Mr. Huang around to secure their place.
If a talent like Qiao Nian, who scored full marks for the examinations, ended in their hands, they really might ruin her career and future.
Shen Yugui was indignant, but when he turned to look at Qiao Nian again, the light in his eyes had gone out. Looking at the only talent who was willing to join their faculty, he said sadly, "Qiao Nian, I don't agree with what Professor Cheng Wu said, but he isn't entirely wrong. Choosing your specialization is an important matter, you should... consider carefully!"
Nie Mi was watching the exchange from the side. They went from pitting against each other and not being willing to compromise to Shen Yugui taking a step back for the sake of the student's future. He had sincerely asked Qiao Nian to think twice. That made Nie Mi feel a bit better than before.
