The female anchor turned into the dean of an ancient academy

"Your Majesty, the root cause of the disease lies in a dirty environment and poor personal hygiene habits. As long as we address these two aspects, the risk of disease can be greatly reduced." Cen Jiexiao answered calmly.

"Oh? I'd like to hear more about it." Chai Zhen became interested and leaned forward slightly, motioning Cen Jiexiao to continue.

Cen Jiexiao talked about some basic hygiene knowledge in modern society, such as washing hands frequently, drinking boiled water, not spitting, etc., and explained why these behaviors can prevent diseases.

Chai Zhen nodded repeatedly after hearing this. These seemingly simple truths had never been mentioned to him by anyone, let alone popularized among the people.

"In addition, the improvement of medical facilities and the professional skills of medical staff are also crucial." Cen Jiexiao continued, "If conditions permit, we can establish a specialized medical school to train professional doctors and nurses, and set up hospitals to provide better medical services to the people."

"Oh? How should this medical school be set up? What subjects will it teach?" Chai Zhen asked. He was full of curiosity about the "major" that Cen Jiexiao mentioned.

"Your Majesty, medical schools can offer different specialties, such as internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, and so on. Each specialty will teach corresponding medical knowledge and diagnostic and treatment techniques." Cen Jiexiao paused, then continued, "Take surgery as an example. Students will need to learn human anatomy and understand the structure and function of various organs; learn trauma management and master basic skills such as hemostasis, bandaging, and fixation; and learn surgical procedures and master the use of various surgical instruments and surgical techniques."

"It will take a lot of time to learn all this, right?" Chai Zhen asked.

"As a doctor, you're entrusted with lives, so you can't be careless." Cen Jiexiao said seriously, "Medical school lasts at least three to five years. The medical faculty at Zhaoyin Academy are all physicians with over ten years of experience practicing medicine at Puji Hall. Students need to learn a great deal of theoretical knowledge and practice extensively to become a qualified physician."

"In addition to doctors, do nurses also need professional training?" Chai Zhen continued to ask.

"Of course. A nurse's duty is to assist doctors in treating and caring for patients. They need to learn basic nursing, pharmacology, emergency nursing, and other knowledge. They also need to learn how to communicate with patients, how to provide psychological counseling, etc." Cen Jiexiao added.

Chai Zhen's heart was filled with emotion when he heard this, and he wanted to put into practice everything that Cen Jiexiao said immediately. He seemed to see a healthier and better future beckoning to him.

Besides medical treatment, Cen Jiexiao also discussed culture with Chai Zhen. She discussed poetry, songs, calligraphy, and painting, and from drama to folk art, citing numerous references and engagingly expounding on the profoundness of Chinese culture.

Chai Zhen was fascinated by what he heard. He felt more and more that the woman in front of him was like a treasure, full of unknown mysteries, yet exuding a fatal attraction that made him want to explore and dig.

After the meal, Chai Zhen's eyes changed when he looked at Cen Jiexiao. It was a kind of admiration, but more importantly, a desire, a desire to understand her more, a desire to possess more of her.

"President Cen, you have quite a good perspective on the current state of affairs." Chai Zhen put down his wine glass and looked at Cen Jiexiao with a burning gaze. "I see that you have unique insights into government, the economy, and people's livelihoods. I wonder who your mentor is?"

Cen Jiexiao's heart trembled, thinking that she had almost let something slip. She quickly smiled and said perfunctorily, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am just a woman. I usually just read books and write. I don't have any brilliant insights. I am just repeating what others have said."

"Oh? What kind of books does Dean Cen like to read on weekdays?" Chai Zhen asked calmly. He didn't believe that Cen Jiexiao would be the kind of woman who only read idle books.

Cen Jiexiao rolled her eyes and said casually, "I usually like to read travelogues and miscellaneous talks, and occasionally flip through those vernacular novels. Your Majesty, please don't laugh at my lack of talent and knowledge."

"Hahaha, Dean Cen is really funny and humorous." Although Chai Zhen did not completely believe what Cen Jiexiao said, he did not ask any further questions. After all, everyone has their own secrets, don't they?

After dinner, Chai Zhen became very interested in where Cen Jiexiao worked.

"Dean Cen, could you please show me your room?" Chai Zhen stared at Cen Jiexiao with burning eyes, his eyes full of anticipation.

Cen Jiexiao secretly groaned in her heart. It would be so embarrassing if word got out that a single man and a single woman were in the same room together! However, it was difficult to disobey the emperor's order, and she couldn't refuse directly, so she had to bite the bullet and agree, "Well...Okay, Your Majesty, please come this way."

As soon as Chai Zhen entered the room, he was captivated by everything in front of him. This room was unlike any other room he had seen before. There were no carved beams and painted buildings, no pearl curtains and green screens, only some strange and bizarre things he had never seen before.

Cen Jiexiao's room was decorated in a simple and elegant style, very similar to her modern room. As soon as Chai Zhen entered, he was attracted by a glass picture frame on the table.

"What is this?" Chai Zhen pointed at the picture frame, his eyes widening as if he had seen some rare treasure. "The woman in the painting, her eyebrows, eyes, lips, and nose, are exactly like Dean Cen's!"

Cen Jiexiao followed Chai Zhen's gaze and thought to herself, "Oh no! How could she have forgotten to put this portrait away? This was carved specifically for her by her senior brother."

"Your Majesty, you're joking," Cen Jiexiao said, feigning composure. "I'm just a woman, how could I possibly have a portrait passed down through the ages? This is just something I had my students carve out of wood when I was bored."

"Wood carving?" Shai Zhen was even more astonished. "How could this wood be carved so lifelike, it's practically lifelike! I've never seen such exquisite craftsmanship before. I wonder which skilled craftsman created this?"

Cen Jiexiao's eyes rolled, a plan forming in her mind. She feigned mystery as she said, "Your Majesty, this isn't just any wooden board. It's a magical wood from the Western Regions called 'Phantom Wood.' This wood possesses a magical ability to perfectly replicate a person's appearance, which is why the portraits carved out of it are so lifelike."

"Oh? There's such a magical wood?" Chai Zhen was indeed attracted by Cen Jiexiao's words. He picked up the painting frame and carefully examined the woman's face in the painting. The more he looked, the more incredible it seemed to him. "Is this phantom wood really so magical?"

Seeing Chai Zhen take the bait, Cen Jiexiao was secretly delighted. She continued, adding fuel to the fire, "Of course. This Phantom Wood is an extremely precious treasure, only owned by royalty. I only got a small piece by chance, and I wanted to carve it into my own image as a souvenir."
