That school isn’t really for you, you know. Look at you, a girl, and that school, only 30% of people there will become pilots in the future. The rest either get grounded and switch to ground staff, or they drop out and go to local schools to study other majors. Think about the immense pressure you’d face as a girl competing in that environment.

Why don’t you consider it? I think you’d do well in our hospital. With your acupuncture skills, you’d be quite accomplished, and your parents would be proud of you for continuing the family tradition and bringing honor to your home. That would be wonderful,” Li Dongliang was alarmed at the mention of Aviation University.

Although both are part of the same system, they’re not the same. He had nothing to do with aviation. Wasting such talent at Aviation University, wouldn’t that be a pity?

Bai Xiao was stunned, “You can get grounded or drop out of Aviation University?” She really didn’t know that. In her previous life, she hadn’t attended college, and in this life, she hadn’t either. Besides, hearing others talk about guaranteed job placement after college, how could she have known about the high elimination rate and the possibility of being grounded or dropping out? She might not know what being grounded meant, but she understood dropping out, which implied being sent back to the local level.

“Yes. Think about it. If you go there with your small frame, the training intensity is very high. I’m a leader, so of course, I can’t lie to trick you. Aviation University offers great benefits—no tuition or living expenses, everything is provided! But the training and learning there are definitely not as easy as you might think. A year and a half of theoretical and basic physical training, every assessment is an elimination. If you fail an assessment, you face being sent back or grounded. Even if you pass, the subsequent two years and four months of conversion training are the same. Any failure can lead to elimination.

I think you, young girl, seem to be a very smart person. Seeing that you’re a college student, just this cleverness and learning ability is not common. Our hospital needs such talent. I’m offering you a spot to go to the hospital, a great place for cultivating talent.

You have medical skills but still need a place to practice. In our hospital, with its many departments, our Traditional Chinese Medicine department is missing someone like you. Once you’re there, you can fully demonstrate your abilities. Most importantly, by joining the hospital, you’d be working four years ahead of others, and I don’t need to mention the hospital’s benefits. The monthly salary and allowances are definitely generous. Once you’ve accumulated some years, we can even offer housing. More importantly, we can help arrange some jobs in our hospital for your family members. Give it some thought,” Li Dongliang’s eyes shined like stars as he looked at the girl, clearly very fond of her.

Their hospital was quite renowned in the province, yet the Traditional Chinese Medicine department was in decline. It wasn’t that the department lacked talent, but they didn’t have anyone with acupuncture expertise as effective as Bai Xiao’s, whose single needle could produce immediate results. Most people preferred Western medicine when sick because it seemed faster-acting.

But some illnesses can’t be treated that way. They all worked in this field, and chronic training led to common issues like back and leg pain, rheumatoid arthritis. Many had long used Western medicine to no avail, like himself, who was also plagued by many years of aches and pains.

However, the girl’s needlework was another story. He had just witnessed how she could even stop acute appendicitis pain, not to mention conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.

And acupuncture does not damage the spleen and stomach, nor does it damage the liver; it essentially has zero side effects.

Just think about the many in their team who suffer from untreatable pains every year, enduring their agony through training. Li Dongliang couldn’t just stand by and let such talent slip through his fingers.

Sending such a girl to Aviation University would be a waste of talent!

Only then did Bai Xiao realize what kind of school she had enrolled in.

No wonder the tuition and living expenses were free. But the problem is, other universities also don’t charge tuition and provide living expenses. As for becoming a pilot and flying planes, she hadn’t really considered it. People should be more realistic; considering her small stature, she probably wouldn’t last through the first three months of training without being eliminated.

Bai Xiao just thought about doing pull-ups on the parallel bars, muscles bulging, and her head started to throb.

Bai Song was also flabbergasted. A pilot?

His own sister flying airplanes, and not just that… just thinking about those beautiful stunts performed during the National Day ceremonies left Bai Song terrified. How could Bai Xiao possibly do well? It was no joke.

It wasn’t that he doubted she could do well, but Bai Song was acutely aware that the training he underwent as a special talent was already incredibly demanding. Could the training for a pilot be any less? It would undoubtedly be even more grueling and exhausting. He was worried that Bai Xiao simply wouldn’t be able to endure it.

“Xiao, maybe you should…” Bai Song could make this decision for his sister; after all, it was a choice between two completely different paths, affecting her future.

Bai Xiao grimaced; it really was a tough choice.

Seeing Bai Song wavering, Li Dongliang hurriedly said, “Think about it, you could go straight to the hospital now. That’s a job, and I guarantee your work will have a professional title. Within three months of joining, we’ll definitely get all your paperwork settled. If you want to pursue further education at Medical University during your tenure, that’s also possible. In this regard, it’s far better suited for you than Aviation University, right?”

Bai Xiao was speechless; how could she respond when a high-ranking Chief put it that way?

“Chief, my medical skills really aren’t that great. I only know Acupuncture, and I must keep this Acupuncture technique a closely guarded secret. Before my parents passed away, they told me I could only pass it on to my son or daughter. I swore an oath on that.” She felt she had to make her situation clear upfront.

Li Dongliang was taken aback when he heard this. He had not expected the girl’s family to be the kind with a lineage of practicing medicine passed down through generations.

“Then let me ask, what can your Acupuncture cure?”

“My Acupuncture can cure anything, but the effectiveness varies. My father said, whether it’s three years or thirty years in Traditional Chinese Medicine, there’s no difference. It’s about fully understanding and integrating what you’ve learned, and practicing diligently. It’s said, after all, ‘The master leads you to the door; personal cultivation is up to the individual.’ According to family lore, our ancestors were Imperial Physicians at the height of their Acupuncture skills, reviving the dying and healing patients with just one needle.

However, to reach that level, I definitely can’t do it at present. For example, if I were to treat your injury with my Acupuncture right now, it would surely stop the bleeding and have some healing effect. But as for healing and improving the wound, I’m afraid I don’t have that ability.

Of course, it’s not out of the question that after diligent study, one day I could achieve, ‘one needle goes in, disease goes away, reviving the dead.’ I can’t commit completely just yet; I have to leave room for excuses.”
