Cheng You had a rough idea, so she went back to her room to write letters.
She mainly wrote to Zhou Yunru, asking her to count how many people were willing to come to Yancheng to help.
Those who were willing to come would have their travel expenses reimbursed, accommodation provided, and salary negotiated separately.
Those who were unwilling could continue to help at Zhen Shan Tang, but would no longer be involved in drug production.
From now on, all medicines from Zhen Shan Tang would only be produced at the Yancheng Pharmaceutical Factory.
With a series of arrangements made, Cheng You felt much more relaxed.
This had solved many of her problems.
She was in Yancheng and had originally been unable to attend to Yongcheng, but she was reluctant to close that branch because it was the starting point of Zhen Shan Tang.
This way, she could completely channel all her resources to Yancheng and no longer need to divide her energy to focus on Yongcheng.
If it weren't for the fact that Duan Liping had to rush back to school, Cheng You would have treated her to another meal to express her gratitude.
Duan Liping pouted, "We're not strangers, why are you being so formal with me?"
Cheng You raised her hands and cried out in injustice.
"I just wanted to express my thanks, not be distant."
Sun Xiaowan teased, "Lipíng, if she's so eager to treat, let's come again next week. She's rich anyway."
"Okay!"
Qi Ning quickly chimed in, "Count me in!"
When it comes to free meals, it's always more fun with more people.
Cheng You tapped her head, "I know, you won't be left out, don't worry!"
However, these matters were put aside for now because Cheng You was about to start school.
For other students, the official start of the semester was on the day of registration, but for Cheng You, it was the first day.
She didn't stay in the dormitory, only occasionally went there to rest during lunchtime, so she didn't bring many things.
According to the class schedule given on the day of registration, she had Preparations and Pharmacology today.
She had no classes in the afternoon, so she only brought these two books and paper and pen with her.
She had plenty of meal tickets, as she thought the cafeteria food at the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine was quite good.
Unfamiliar with the school, Cheng You circled around for quite a while before finding the classroom.
She walked in with her backpack, and the students who were talking fell silent.
This was the first time Cheng You had met them.
The class was half male and half female, and they all looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze, as if curious about who she was.
"Classmate, did you go to the wrong classroom?" a plump girl with a round face asked.
Cheng You shook her head with a smile, "My name is Cheng You. Since I didn't participate in military training, perhaps none of you know me."
The girl suddenly realized, "So you're Cheng You!"
Their class had one student who didn't participate in military training, so the attendance was always incomplete, and everyone knew about it.
Cheng You nodded, "Yes."
She found an empty seat, took out her textbook.
As for the subject of Preparations alone, Uncle Li had already taught her many of the knowledge points, and she could recite them by heart.
However, when it came to learning, she never slacked off.
The same knowledge point, taught by different teachers, could lead to learning different things.
The plump girl from before also sat down and proactively said to Cheng You, "My name is Fang Yunbao, and I'm your upper bunk. Since you weren't at school, this is our first time meeting."
Cheng You quickly extended her hand, "So that's how it is, hello."
Fang Yunbao's hand was fleshy and felt very good, making one want to rub it.
"Those two are also our roommates. Didn't you bring any luggage today? I don't see any clothes in your dorm."
Cheng You said, "I live off-campus, so I didn't bring any clothes."
Fang Yunbao clearly hadn't expected that. Cheng You didn't seem like the kind of capitalist young lady who would have privileges.
Yet, she actually had privileges.
She could skip military training and live off-campus, like someone who could do as they pleased at school.
"Cheng You, why do you live off-campus?"
Cheng You said, "I have things to do that I can't do at school, so I have to live off-campus."
Fang Yunbao said "Oh" in acknowledgment.
Soon, the class bell rang, and everyone suppressed their curiosity and welcomed their first lesson at the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Fang Yunbao whispered to Cheng You, "This teacher is Su Jinwen, do you know our head teacher?"
However, seeing Cheng You's bewildered look, Fang Yunbao knew she didn't know.
"She's a bit fierce."
They had already experienced it during military training.
Su Jinwen's gaze immediately settled on Cheng You, the new face.
"Cheng You?"
After all, Cheng You was the only student she hadn't seen before.
Cheng You quickly nodded, "Yes, Teacher Su."
Su Jinwen clearly didn't have a very favorable impression of Cheng You, a student who enjoyed "privileges."
After staring at her for a moment, she slightly curved her lips and said, "You can be lazy during military training, but there's no room for laziness in your studies."
Cheng You didn't offer any explanation and just nodded slightly.
Most teachers at the beginning of the semester were similar. They first introduced the school and the major, welcoming everyone to enroll.
As the first cohort of students, their foundation would certainly not be poor.
But to contribute talent to the country, she had to be more stringent and urge them to improve.
The first class was essentially spent on introductions.
When the class ended, Su Jinwen called Cheng You to her office.
"This is the application form for living off-campus. Please fill it out. However, I don't recommend you live off-campus. The learning atmosphere outside is never as strong as that in the school. You should reconsider."
Cheng You's collaboration with the agricultural research institute was confidential and could not be disclosed, so Su Jinwen was unaware of this matter.
In her eyes, Cheng You was just a student with some family background, which allowed her to demand privileges right at the start of the semester.
"Teacher, even if I live off-campus, I won't neglect my studies. Please rest assured," Cheng You said.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Su Jinwen stopped trying.
"Since you insist, then so be it. Just fill out this form."
Cheng You found an empty seat and began to fill it out.
After she finished and handed it over, Su Jinwen glanced at it.
"Your handwriting is quite good."
"Thank you, Teacher Su."
Su Jinwen nodded, "Alright, you can go back."
As Cheng You walked out, she bumped into a girl at the doorway.
Beautiful things and people are always eye-catching, just like the girl Cheng You saw.
She was not the same type of girl as Cheng You. Her demeanor was refined and aloof, making one want to bring her down from her pedestal.
The two of them made eye contact, nodded slightly, and passed each other.
Cheng You returned to the classroom, and more and more people gathered around her.
They were all friendly and chatted with her. Seeing that Cheng You didn't want to talk much, they didn't press for details.
"I told you, Teacher Su is very fierce," Fang Yunbao said.
Cheng You smiled, "It's okay, she's just strict."
Fang Yunbao wrinkled her nose, she was just very fierce.
During military training alone, she had been scolded by Teacher Su several times.
"Cheng You, I think you're really beautiful. They all say Feng Xue is beautiful, but I think you're more beautiful than her."
Cheng You didn't take her words to heart and casually asked, "Who is Feng Xue?"
"A classmate in the School of Nursing. She's very aloof and looks down on people."
Cheng You thought of the girl she had just seen. Could it be her?
