Chapter 327: Peace and Sincerity (7)
"You go and tell Wangda that if he really respects me, I'll be the one who decides whether he has the face to come to see me."
Elena, who was walking on the road, was touched by this sentence, and she knew that she could not be so reasonable now. When they arrived at Wangda's residence, Elena knocked on the door with DuangDuang. Seeing the depressed Wangerda, Elena did not have the sadness of the rabbit dying and the fox before. She closed the door and said loudly, "Your Excellency asked me to tell you, if you really respect Your Excellency, you should understand that you are not qualified to decide whether you have the face to meet Your Excellency. You will be able to decide whether you have the face to meet him or not. ”
Wangerda looked stunned, and after a while, he asked tentatively with some hope, "Aren't you angry?" ”
"On what basis do you decide whether you want to be angry or not?" Elena was a little angry, and Wanda's reaction reminded her of her old self. Elena was afraid that her parents would be angry for doing something wrong, and she would be punished more severely. The harsh punishment made Elena finally understand that she was not qualified to decide whether her elders and others were angry or not, and that was not for Elena to decide. The only thing Elena can decide is whether she wants to accept reality or not.
"Your Excellency is still angry." Wonda fell into despair again.
This reaction irritated Elena even more, and she said angrily: "Wangerda, Your Excellency once told us about the rules of the office, and also took us to visit the office. There is a banner that says that failure is more glorious than cowardice. Failure is not uncommon, and each of us has failed many times. You don't dare to admit defeat now, you are cowardly now. You can't decide whether you succeed or not, and your failure is often decided by others. Cowardice is your own choice, you choose cowardice, you choose shame! You can tell me whether you want to see Your Excellency, if you don't want to see Your Excellency, so be it. I won't be coming back! ”
After saying that, Elena looked at Wangerda with burning eyes, waiting for him to make his decision.
The change in Wangerda's expression showed his inner struggle, and after a while, Wangda lamented: "I can't do big things anymore, and this failure makes me know that I can't do big things." ”
"You! ......" Elena was so angry that she couldn't go on. Where is the big thing so easy, how long have Vanda and Elena been with Sheila? It's just over two years. Sheila was in the office for about four or five years. Elena's parents talk about Sheila, who thinks that even with her current popularity, Sheila is still nothing in front of a powerful office. Sheila's Excellency is still like this, and Wangerda can't help but think too much of herself!
Looking at Wangerda's desperate appearance, Elena relented a little. She also experienced such a mental journey back then, what could the great nobles of Eastern Rome do? What about even Barcellus in Eastern Rome? Now the Empress of the Western Roman Empire, Princess Maria, is simply a symbol of the two Romes and is an incomparably noble person. When Princess Mary was young, it was only because of the request of the Khan of the Ilkhanate, Hulegu, that Princess Maria, as the father of Baselus, married the princess who was less than 20 years old to Hulegu, and when the family sent the family to the Ilkhanate, King Hulegu died, and Princess Maria was married to Hulegu's son. Is Princess Mary so slumped? She didn't. She accepted her fate and, through her knowledge and hard work, became the spiritual leader of the Nestorian cult in the Ilkhanate.
In this world, there are too many things that are sadder and more difficult to accept than failure. Because Princess Maria carried it, fate finally sent the princess back to her beloved. With the current glory, he repaid Princess Maria's perseverance. Compared with those big shots, this little thing that Wanda or Elena faced can also be called a thing?
"Wanda, I'll ask you one last time. Do you want to judge what happened to you by your own standards, or decide to leave your fate to Sheila. If you decide to obey Sheila, come with me to Sheila. If you're going to decide for yourself your success, failure, and value, you stay here and make your own decisions. I'm telling you, I used to think I could decide my worth for myself, so I used to be as miserable as you are now. Later I realized I was wrong. Sheila is a very forgiving person, and if you are willing to admit your defeat in front of her and accept Sheila's decision, Sheila will not abandon you. But you have to be quick, because Sheila understands that you will fail, but cannot accept that you decide what she thinks. If you must do so, you are proving that you have no respect for Sheila. Now that Sheila's kindness is in front of you, it's up to you to choose whether you sincerely accept it, or trample on it! ”
After saying that, Elena was too lazy to see Wangerda like she used to be cowardly, so she got up and left Wangerda's house. Elena was in a bad mood along the way, and she once heard Sheila talk about the internal learning of the office, and one of the words was: 'When we really look back at ourselves, we can see that what we hate is ourselves.' It was a terrible thing to see my past self in my life, and that every move made me hate my past weakness and incompetence.
Back at Sheila, Elena wanted to beautify Vanda with the most gentle words possible, but Elena couldn't say a few words. Hearing Sheila ask with some puzzlement, "Elena, what happened?" Elena simply told what she saw and thought, like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.
The more Elena talked, the more angry she became, it was so shameful. It's no wonder that the office has to write 'Failure is more glorious than cowardice' on the wall for everyone to see every day, because everyone, including Elena, does it.
"Hahaha......" Sheila couldn't help but laugh after listening to it, but after laughing for a while, she covered her mouth and forced the feeling of vomiting, so the laughter stopped for a while.
Listening to the laughter, Elena lowered her head and fell silent. She suddenly felt that she was a little unkind, because a large part of her anger was actually directed at herself and not at Wangerda. It's just that it came out of the event of Wangerda.
Well! Sheila cleared her throat, "Elena, Director Xie once told me that there are two conditions that you need to be a member of mainstream society. Well...... What Director Xie refers to by mainstream society refers to those who have a foothold on their own, do you understand? ”
"Understood." Elena replied cheerfully. Sheila is the one who got this place on her own, and Elena is very envious. She knew that she didn't have a place for her strength, not even a place to stand.
"There are two conditions for people in mainstream society, the first is to be taught, and the second is to be able to afford to lose. I had a very good education when I was in the office, and I think I did my best to teach you and Wanda all kinds of knowledge. We are all people who have been taught. Sheila spoke her thoughts.
"I am very grateful for Your Excellency's education." Elena replied immediately. Not only did she receive an education from Sheila, but Elena felt that her parents did their best to teach her about life.
"It's just as important to be able to afford to lose. Wangda now feels that he can't afford to lose, he has done his best under my full authorization, his power may be so great, when those investors change their minds, he is no longer able to continue to promote the hospital. At least not count on him now. I want to ask if you want to take this over. ”
This question made Elena not want to answer, and after thinking for a while, Elena asked Sheila: "Your Excellency, is this matter so serious?" ”
"The Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Medicine Hospital were very important to Eastern Rome." Sheila replied.
"Why?" Elena still didn't quite understand.
Sheila couldn't help but sigh. This is where Elena is not as good as Wanda, at least Wanda quickly understood the importance of medical school after listening to Sheila's arrangement. Not to mention the medical services that the medical school can provide to the upper echelons and the legion after it is completed, the medical school itself that imitates the Great Song Dynasty system alone can provide opportunities for many talents who are willing to get ahead, just like Qian Zhuang. After thinking about it, Sheila asked Elena, "What do you think the hospital is for?" ”
"Train doctors." Elena replied, and after she finished speaking, she couldn't help but lower her voice, "Your Excellency, will the current medical school make you hostile to many people?" ”
"I don't lack the hostility of others, which may be influential, but it is not so important. Because I can rely on the support of others to be there today. Think again. Sheila decided to let Elena decide for herself.
When Elena got home, she thought about it and went to her father. After listening to Elena's introduction, Dad thought for a moment and replied, "You can do this well." I think it can be done. ”
"Father, Your Excellency will make the current doctors very sad, but those doctors can talk to many people."
"The doctors of the future will be able to speak to more people. It will not be difficult for Her Excellency Sheila to get through this paragraph. And you haven't seen anything else, how many minor nobles and legionnaire families will be willing to join her after Sheila has a medical school. Can those people ignore it? ”
"How useful can those people be? Will their families really thank Sheila? ”
"If they are not grateful, at least they are not hostile. In the same way, are the doctors of the present really so hostile to Sheila? I don't think so. There aren't as many people who really want to bring down Sheila as you might think. Elena. The senators were busy for re-election, and they knew Sheila's relationship with the Legion. The legion and its families are the most enthusiastic about obtaining citizenship, and the city elders who are favored by the legion in the western and eastern cities will be re-elected, and the court knows that the legion is their pillar, without these people, how can a group of unemployed doctors bring down Sheila? Not to mention that they may not be unemployed. ”
Listening to her father's account of these struggles of interests at the top, Elena felt confident. She asked, "Father, how can I lobby those who have money?" ”
"Just like Sheila did, tell them what the medical school can do for them and how much it can help them. How does the investment now compare to the benefits in the future? A lot of people won't think that medical school will help them much, and a lot of people will think about hitchhiking. It's all human nature. But Elena, after all, there will be people who will be willing to pay, as long as they feel that they have no other opportunities now, and they want to have a place in the future upper class of Eastern Rome, they will pay. Take the job and do it well. ”
"Father, will you invest money?" Elena asked. Then I saw my father shaking his head, "I have a place to invest money, but I really don't have the money to invest here." Even if you invest, you can only invest a small amount of money. After all, medical school is too long, and as you said before, medical school takes at least ten years to learn various other knowledge, and you have to go through various tests, and then you have to practice with a doctor for four years. Added up to more than fourteen years. Erin, even if a child starts studying at the age of six, and when the internship period ends, he can come out alone as a trainee doctor, he is more than twenty years old. It's been too long. ”
"Uh-huh!" Elena nodded vigorously. Although this is Dad's view on investing in hospitals, it makes Elena understand how the upper echelons view investing in medical schools. In Da Song, there are five years of elementary school, three years of junior high school, three years of high school, and after graduating from high school, I will be admitted to medical school, and I will participate in an internship during the four-year study period, and there will be one year after graduation to complete the internship. After that, the trainee doctors. That's been sixteen years. A young man went to school at the age of six and graduated at the age of twenty-two. At this time, they are at a stage where they have the ability but need years to gain experience. If they can be on their own, they will have to be twenty-six years old.
Twenty-six years old was a complete adult in the Eastern Roman Empire, even going straight to middle age. Any mistake in the middle will cause their previous accumulation to suffer a lot, or even turn into a waste. This reality is very harsh.
When Elena saw Sheila the next day, she didn't ask Wanda if she had come to see Sheila, but told Sheila that she was willing to take the matter. Sheila nodded and replied, "You send out the gift for the Mongolian princess." ”
The route from Constantinople to Damascus was already very busy, and when Elena went to send something, she saw that Wangerda was waiting in the dock warehouse, and when she saw Elena, Wangerda said: "Thank you." Thank you for saying that. ”
"You ......" Elena was a little surprised.
"I'm in charge of delivering gifts to Damascus." Wanerda explained.
Elena nodded, she wanted to tell Wanda that she had taken it, but Elena didn't know what to do
