Furthermore, Xiao Yu suggested to her, “Since you have the intention of opening a clinic specifically for female patients, you should cultivate a group of female doctors.”
“Nowadays, there are very few women who study medicine. I’m afraid there are even fewer who receive support from their families.” Su Yingxue had considered this before, but implementing it was challenging.
“We can establish a specialized female medical school and appoint someone to teach. With you as a role model, women all over the world will strive to emulate, showing that women can also have their careers.” Xiao Yu said.
Despite his ailing appearance, his words were admirable.
Su Yingxue smiled. “Young Master Xiao is indeed exceptional. No wonder your business is flourishing.”
“Everyone does their best, and everything has its purpose,” Xiao Yu admitted frankly.
He was simply pragmatic. When it came to matters concerning his interests, he naturally thought more about them.
“But the candidates to train female doctors…It is difficult for women to learn medicine. Even if I teach it personally, I’m afraid many people will give up halfway.”
Su Yingxue knocked on the table. She had tried before, but learning medicine was a long and arduous journey. She was still learning. It was even more difficult for some girls to start from scratch.
What kind of obsession could keep them learning?
“You don’t have to teach me personally. There’s a very practical method.”
Xiao Yu suggested, “Let Saint Ruan teach the female students for you.”
“Saint Ruan?” Su Yingxue’s immediate reaction was to shake her head. “You know he practices both medicine and poison, but you’re unaware he’s a womanizer. Wouldn’t that potentially lead him to harm female students?”
Su Yingxue’s statement was somewhat exaggerated. In reality, Saint Ruan had already been reprimanded by her mother and had changed his ways.
She had almost fatally poisoned Saint Ruan, knowing he wouldn’t prey on women again.
“He’s already seventy years old and has long lost interest in women,” Xiao Yu asserted confidently.
“How do you know?”
“He frequents your medicine hut. You’re already a striking beauty, yet he shows no signs of attraction towards you,” Xiao Yu observed. Having encountered Saint Ruan only once, he noticed the absence of any romantic interest from him towards Su Yingxue.
This led him to conclude that Saint Ruan was indeed advanced in age.
And thus, not interested in such pursuits anymore.
Supporting her chin with her hand, Su Yingxue smiled knowingly. “Young Master Xiao, you’re quite perceptive and astute!”
“If I didn’t possess these abilities, you wouldn’t have considered collaborating with me. Since it’s a partnership, I see no need to hide this from you. I suggested Saint Ruan train female doctors because he won’t harbor romantic intentions towards them. Moreover, his altered appearance is enough to captivate female students and encourage them to attend his classes.”
“But wouldn’t leading female students astray still be considered a wrongdoing?” Su Yingxue expressed concern. She wasn’t worried about Saint Ruan trying to seduce female students, but rather the possibility of female students attempting to seduce him.
In the event he grew tired of such advances and resorted to poison, the consequences would be dire for the female students.
“Not at all. His age will be clearly stated on the enrollment forms before admission. While the girls may be drawn to his appearance, they won’t be foolish enough to pursue a lifelong commitment with him,” Xiao Yu reassured, growing increasingly composed.
“Indeed. What woman would be so foolish as to persist in seducing a seventy-year-old man? Well said!”
On this matter, Su Yingxue and Xiao Yu had reached a temporary agreement.
Despite the somewhat deceptive nature of their plan, Su Yingxue resolved to deceive Saint Ruan first in order to achieve her lofty aspirations.
After concluding their discussion, Su Yingxue made preparations to depart.
During their deliberations, Su Miaoyan obediently refrained from interrupting them. She occupied herself alone in the Fenghua Garden, occasionally joining Chu Jinling to fly kites..
