With Astra's situation sorted out, Ren became a little more relaxed. Professor Klaus insisted that Ren and Fang attend their research team's meetings at least twice a week, though – and Ren and Fang agreed happily.
The babies, too, settled down and made peace with the fact that they wouldn't be able to hold down their Daddy and Papa at home whenever they wanted now, because both of them were very busy with medical school. And they also realised that Ren and Fang wouldn't randomly take them to SIMS – because both Ren and Fang were worried about the babies picking up some infection there. Hospitals were no places to visit, even when they were so sparklingly clean that one could eat off the floors!
Also, Ren and Fang wouldn't admit it, but they were extremely apprehensive that if they took the babies to their medical school one day, all their classmates and professors would swarm their little babies and overwhelm them. What if they got cuddled and rubbed so much that all their fur fell off and they became bald? Wouldn't their adorable little babies be really upset if that happened?
Fortunately, all four babies were sensible and didn't make any trouble for their fathers. They just acted a bit more spoilt when Ren and Fang came home every evening, and the young couple was all too happy to indulge their beautiful little babies.
And their meals kept getting more and more elaborate by the day, thanks to Chef Jules.
So, overall, everyone was happy, and they settled into a comfortable routine. The remaining thirty two students had joined as well, and by now, everyone had accepted Ren and Fang as normal people (if a bit extraordinary) and they had managed to mix in with their fellow classmates rather well.
However, after a month, the Director of SIMS and all the departmental heads and professors had gathered for an emergency meeting.
"Chairman Ren is too formidable," one of the professors murmured. He was the deputy head of the neurology department. "He knows more about neurology than I do, I swear!"
"Indeed," the head of the neurology department said. "In fact, I don't think there is anything left for us to teach him when it comes to neurology – we are the ones who should be taught by him."
"It feels like he has already studied medicine and is a fully qualified doctor – and that he is here simply to accompany is fiancé," another professor said.
The Director frowned. "Chairman Ren did mention that he has been interested in medicine for a long time – but we all know that he has never received any formal education in the medical field – we all know his story, right? He was still in high school when he was abandoned by his parents – and then he started Sirocco. He never went to college – he just finished high school somehow while still working and then started working full fledged," he said.
Another professor, who was a reclusive person from another country and didn't know about Ren-the-villain's tragic past, asked, "Chairman Ren was abandoned by his parents? Why? He seems to be a pretty good child to me."
Professor Klaus sighed. He had been friends with Ren's biological parents, actually, and knew the whole story. "Chairman Ren was stolen from the hospital when he was a little baby," he muttered. "His parents – the ones who raised him – were not his biological parents. They had their own little son called Ren, who was violently ill when he was six months old – and Chairman Ren was also in the same hospital for a check up, but somehow, there was a mix up – I don't know if it was deliberate or not, and the parents of the violently ill child carried off our Chairman Ren thinking that he was their son. The other child died in the hospital the same day. This was so traumatising for Chairman Ren's biological parents that they left the country, but they continued the search for many, many years, until the last day of their life. Unfortunately, they passed away without being able to meet their son. When Chairman Ren was fifteen years old, the trustees of the estate were finally able to find him and they went to his adoptive parents to tell them about the truth. The moment those two realised that Chairman Ren was not their son but their real son had already died fifteen years ago, they threw Chairman Ren out. Thankfully, there was some inheritance left for Chairman Ren by his biological parents, so he was able to start Sirocco and finish high school," he said. "You wouldn't know from looking at the boy, would you? He started a company at fifteen and now he's twenty – and look how big a business empire he has built for himself." Professor Klaus praised.
Several professors, who were not familiar with the details, gasped in shock.
"How could a parent throw a child out just like that? Even if he is not their biological child – they still raised him for fifteen years!" one professor cried indignantly. "Simply inhuman, such despicable behaviour!"
No one disagreed with that. In fact, everyone's heart was aching when Professor Klaus narrated Ren's story.
"So," Professor Klaus said. "The point is that Chairman Ren has never studied medicine formally. He may have read up on things by himself, but he has absolutely no practical knowledge. So, perhaps we should speed up his learning and start involving him in the practical aspects of medicine right away. His talent is indeed heaven defying, if you ask me – you should have seen the notes he and his partner Fang gave me on the Thalassemia research project! It is an unprecedented success so far – in fact, we should be able to finish with all the trials and actually launch the medicine by the end of six months! A cure for Thalassemia – and almost all of it came from Chairman Ren on his first day of medical school!"
The Director's eyebrows disappeared into his hairline – and the reactions of pretty much everyone else in the room was rather similar.
"We need to accelerate Chairman Ren's studies," the Director said in a weak voice after silence reigned in the room for several minutes, because everyone was too stunned to speak.
"I think Chairman Ren is simply treating medical school as an excuse to spend time with his fiancé and to get a formal degree so that he can start practising medicine. Perhaps like a refresher course, since even I find that he already has all the knowledge a real doctor should have," another professor spoke up. "I have never seen such a brilliant self taught doctor – but he does need a license to practice. I also have a feeling that it was actually young Fang who coaxed Chairman Ren into following his heart."
"His heart lies in neurology, I tell you," the head of the neurology department spoke up. "And his hands are so steady – I have a feeling that we will see a flood of awards in neurology and neuro surgery soon."
The Director frowned. "How is young Fang? Is he doing well?" he asked.
"He is almost as good as Chairman Ren, actually – it's just that it is very apparent that this is the first time young Fang is studying medicine – but he sees things once and then it's all in his head," another professor spoke up. "He is the only one who can keep up with Chairman Ren. I am not surprised they are together, really – they would never be able to find a better match for each other even if they went looking all over the world with floodlights!"
"So," the Director said. "If Chairman Ren is here to study with his fiancé and his fiancé Fang is actually capable of catching up with him – why don't we simply accelerate the two of them?" he asked the gathering.
"That makes sense," Professor Klaus said. "I am reasonably sure they have several other research ideas in their heads, and that they will bring them out soon enough. Also, we know that most of the medical research or medical achievements awards cannot be given to medical students but are only awarded to full fledged doctors – so it is best that we accelerate the two of them and let them finish the entire course as soon as possible."
"But do you think they would agree?" another professor asked. "If Chairman Ren is here to spend time with his fiancé, would he agree to accelerate the medical studies and finish the course faster?"
"I think they will," the Director said. "CEO Pax was telling me that Chairman Ren and young Fang want to spend one semester in Dragon Nation where they are building a massive resort hospital – even the Dragon Queen herself is very interested in that project and is taking a personal interest in it. The Dragon Nation is really quite fond of our star couple – and we should make sure that both Chairman Ren and young Fang are well versed in most things needed to run a hospital before they go there."
"I'll go with them," Professor Klaus said immediately.
Several other professors volunteered as well.
