Although a bit confused, Xia Ningxing still modestly replied, "Thank you, Director, but it was really just a small effort on my part, you needn't worry about it."
"This is not a trivial matter at all. You saved a comrade's leg—it's a big deal!" the institute's director said with a smile, and then asked, "Does Miss Xia also understand Chinese medicine?"
"I know just a little," Xia Ningxing answered tactfully.
"Ningxing, don't be so modest. Your medical skills are so remarkable, and yet you say 'just a little'—wouldn't that make all the Chinese medicine practitioners in the world feel ashamed!" Tao Tao said, linking arms with Xia Ningxing and speaking with a warm expression, showering her with flattery:
"Director, you have no idea. Ningxing prescribed some Chinese medicine for me, and after I drank it, my ankle that was hurting terribly suddenly didn't hurt much at all!"
"It's simply a miracle cure!"
Xia Ningxing blushed slightly: "..."
