When Song Ning approached, Principal Li said with a smile:
"I was just discussing your earlier application with President Peng. You wanted to get your physician's certificate sooner, and President Peng said that the surgery you performed on Battalion Commander Tang was more than enough to prove that your practical medical skills met-and exceeded-the standard required of a physician!"
President Peng said, "That's right! I told Principal Li that, given your outstanding ability, getting your physician's certificate early was entirely feasible! The hospital can provide written confirmation that your practical skills meet the requirements. As for whatever procedures the school still needs to follow, that's up to Principal Li!"
Principal Li said, "Song Ning! Here's the situation. Under the regulations... both theoretical and practical examination results are required before we can issue a physician's certificate! The school has to keep them on file for review!"

Principal Li said, "Well... the theory exam covers four years of university coursework. Do you think... you might need me to find all the textbooks for you first?"
