Great Chinese Doctor
Chapter 81 Game of Chess
Of course Qin Qing also knows how to play chess, but she also doesn't like it.
Not only is playing chess boring, it also taxes the brain. Whether in her previous life or this life, she has devoted all her brain cells to medicine and is very stingy with other things.
But the person who invited her to play chess was the old leader, so she could only risk her life to accompany him.
As if he could see her reluctance, the old leader's sharp eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he jokingly said, "You don't seem to want to play chess with me. Do you not know how to play chess, or are you just a bad chess player?"
Qin Qing was not afraid of him finding out. She sat elegantly opposite him and shrugged helplessly, "I know how to play chess, but I don't want to. It takes a lot of brainpower. I just want to be a salted fish now. I'll turn over when I have something to do, and just lie there when I don't."
The old leader was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily, "What a twisted theory!"
"You have learned the medical skills so well, and you still want to be an insignificant person? That's a nice thought. I heard that you didn't go to college. Can I ask why?"
Adjutant Zhang brought up the chessboard, Qin Qing took the black piece, and the old leader naturally took the white piece.
Qin Qing also picked up the black piece and placed it casually on the chessboard, making a crisp clicking sound.
She said calmly: "Although I don't have a throne to inherit, I am responsible for the inheritance of medical skills, which I want to carry forward. I don't have time to pursue a university degree, and in my opinion, the significance of university education is not just to have a decent job in the future."
"As for serving the country, it is not just university graduates who can do it. Well, as long as you have the country in your heart, there are countless ways to contribute. As people say, if you have Buddha in your heart, all things will be compassionate; if you have Buddha in your heart, your words and actions will naturally reveal kindness and mercy."
When the old leader heard her words, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.
He looked at the chessboard, which was messy, and thought for a moment, then placed a piece and said, "Girl, although you are young, you have extraordinary insights. However, while inheriting medical skills is important, systematic learning is also indispensable. University is not just for finding a decent job, it is also a place to improve your overall quality."
Qin Qing also smiled slightly, without commenting, "Quality? Am I not of high quality?"
"What's more, bad people with high quality are much more terrifying when they do bad things than those with low quality. I think it's good to be uneducated. If you know less, you won't do evil."
"It's a twisted logic! It's a twisted logic!"
Hearing her bizarre remarks, the old leader was so angry that he laughed. This was the first time he heard someone regard reading as a scourge. Fortunately, there are not many such people, otherwise the whole country would be in a state of passive resistance and would not be able to function at all.
"Don't you know one thing? Falling behind will lead to being beaten. If you don't learn new knowledge to enrich yourself and your country, you will fall behind the international community and be eliminated by the times."
The old chief spoke earnestly, placing the White Piece in his hand steadily on the chessboard, guarding the Black Piece next to him closely, not giving it any chance to take advantage.
Therefore, a new situation is formed on the chessboard, with the white pieces surrounding the black pieces like a dragnet.
Qin Qing also looked at him with disapproval, and said in a small condemnation, "Everyone has their own shining points, and my shining point is Chinese medicine. You can't let me, a Chinese medicine student, study physics. This is unrealistic and burying talents. What's the difference between you and making things difficult for an heir who promotes the Chinese medicine tradition?"
The old commander choked, "Uh - is it that exaggerated? Didn't I just ask you to go to school? Why do you make it sound like I want you to join the army?"
Qin Qing also raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing this.
She knew that the old leader's concerns were not unreasonable, but she had her own opinions.
"Old leader, I am not against learning. I just think that learning should not be limited to university campuses. Life is a classroom everywhere, and practice is the best teacher."
"I am constantly learning and improving through the practice of medicine. As for international competition, I believe that as long as each of us can focus on our own field and continue to improve, the country will not fall behind."
She paused, then continued, "Moreover, when I say 'it's good to be uneducated', I don't really mean advocating ignorance, but I believe that a person's character and sense of responsibility are more important than knowledge. A person who is knowledgeable but lacks morality may do more harm to society."
After listening to Qin Qingye's explanation, the old leader was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.
"What you said makes sense. Morality is indeed the foundation of a person's life. But knowledge and morality are not contradictory. They should complement each other. The development of a country requires talents with both moral integrity and ability."
Qin Qing also smiled and nodded. She knew that the old leader was truly caring about the country, and she also respected his opinions.
The game of chess continued, with the two men moving back and forth. The sound of chess pieces falling echoed in the quiet room, as if telling the two wise men's different views on life and the country.
However, as the chess pieces moved slower and slower, the old leader realized something was wrong. It was clearly a sure-win game, with the white pieces already surrounding the black pieces, but the black pieces were still struggling tenaciously, as if looking for a glimmer of hope.
The old leader frowned, and his eyes searched the chessboard carefully, trying to find Qin Qingye's flaws.
However, everything on the chessboard seemed so reasonable, without any obvious loopholes.
"Xiao Qin! Your chess moves are really unpredictable." The old leader exclaimed, with a hint of admiration in his tone.
"Old Chief, a chess game is like life. It may seem like a hopeless situation, but it may not be. Sometimes, the most inconspicuous place is the key."
Qin Qingye's voice was gentle, but with unquestionable confidence. She placed another piece, and in an instant, the black pieces on the entire chessboard took the dominant position with absolute advantage, blocking the continuous momentum of the white pieces.
There was a flash of surprise in the old leader's eyes, followed by deep admiration.
"Great, great! Xiao Qin, you are so young but not only have superb medical skills, but also great chess skills. By the way, Xiao Meng also said that your shooting skills are comparable to those of a sharpshooter, and your physical fitness is also very good, not inferior to that of the female soldiers in the army. I am very jealous."
He invited her with a smile, "How about joining the army? I believe that as long as you join the army, with your talent, your future achievements may not be much worse than mine."
This is the highest compliment.
Qin Qing also smiled and shook his head. His eyes were fake, but his mouth was sincere. He said, "I am not interested in this. I'd better do my old job honestly. Also, it's getting late. Old leader, don't think that you are a little better and overuse your brain. Especially this kind of leisure and entertainment that requires brainpower, it's best to avoid it. When you have nothing to do, just bask in the sun, drink tea, look at flowers, and occasionally lie in bed and listen to music."
It’s best not to go out and walk around, let alone be pulled out to be conscripted men.
Who is the old chief? He has a mind as sharp as a sieve. How could he not understand the meaning behind Qin Qingye's words?
"Okay, I won't force you. If you have this intention in the future, contact me again. With your position as a colonel, you will definitely get a good job!"
"Then I'll have to trouble you, old leader!"
