"Dragon-Acupuncture Hand is a very mature technique in Traditional Chinese Medicine using silver needles to stimulate acupuncture points. Because it is so difficult, very few TCM practitioners have mastered it, hence it has been misunderstood as a legend in TCM."
Chen Feng explained calmly.
"Is Dragon-Acupuncture Hand very powerful?" Professor Wang Mingchuan asked tentatively.
"More powerful than ordinary TCM practitioners. Of course, whether something is powerful or not cannot be judged by words alone; it must be proven by facts. Professor Wang, if you believe me, I will use Dragon-Acupuncture Hand to help you expel the chemical toxins from your body right now," Chen Feng asked with composure.
"Of course I believe you," Professor Wang Mingchuan said with a resolute expression.
Without hesitation, Chen Feng proceeded to acupuncture Professor Wang Mingchuan in his office.
After inserting ten silver needles, Chen Feng whispered, "Done."
"Done?" Professor Wang Mingchuan looked at Chen Feng in shock.
"Yes, the Dragon-Acupuncture Hand needle technique is very mature. Each insertion is precise, and ten TCM silver needles are sufficient," Chen Feng explained calmly.
"Chen Feng, it's not that I don't believe you, nor do I doubt the profoundness of Chinese medicine. It's just that after inserting ten needles, I feel no reaction in my body. How can I tell if the chemical toxins in my body have been expelled?" Professor Wang Mingchuan asked tentatively.
"Professor Wang, actually, what you're asking about is the biggest difference between Chinese medicine and Western medicine. Chinese medicine is very powerful, but its effects are not immediate. Most Western medicines or surgeries are immediate. Chinese medicine is not; it takes time to show results. The toxin in your body has actually started to exit from your internal organs, but it will take another hour for it to be fully expelled from your body," Chen Feng explained.
Upon hearing Chen Feng's explanation, Professor Wang Mingchuan's first reaction was that Chen Feng had run out of ideas and was resorting to deception. In essence, it was a delaying tactic – postpone for an hour, and then see what happens. However, considering Chen Feng's good intentions and his use of a delaying tactic to prevent him from panicking, Professor Wang Mingchuan feigned a smile and said, "Yes, Chinese medicine is indeed like that."
The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for the next hour. Professor Wang Mingchuan kept wondering what would happen if, after an hour, there was still no reaction in his body; Chen Feng would be in a very embarrassing situation. Thus, the hour passed in awkward silence.
Just as Professor Wang Mingchuan was about to offer Chen Feng some words of comfort, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.
"Chen Feng, something's wrong, I have a severe stomach ache. Has the chemical toxin in my body attacked my heart?" Professor Wang Mingchuan panicked. Oh heavens, could it be that Chen Feng's random needling earlier had worsened the chemical toxins in his body? That would truly be doing more harm than good!
"Professor Wang, you've misunderstood. Your stomach pain is not a sign of the chemical toxin worsening; it's a sign that it has been expelled. Please go to the restroom quickly. If I'm not mistaken, your stool will be full of black blood clots..." Chen Feng explained calmly.
The pain in Professor Wang Mingchuan's stomach was too severe, so he went to the restroom without a word. After a thorough evacuation, Professor Wang Mingchuan was astonished to find that everything had unfolded exactly as Chen Feng predicted. First, a large amount of black blood clots were expelled, and then he felt refreshed and invigorated.
"Chen Feng, I owe you an apology. Before, I doubted you and the efficacy of Chinese medicine. The facts have proven me wrong, and I was terribly mistaken," Professor Wang Mingchuan said with embarrassment.
"Professor Wang, it's alright. Your reaction is quite normal. In today's society, Chinese people still have quite deep misunderstandings about Chinese medicine. Alright, Professor Wang, the chemical toxins in your body have now been completely expelled. I need to go to the fdrt company," Chen Feng said calmly.
"What? You're going to the fdrt company?"
"Yes, I must go to the fdrt company. I need to make it clear to them that China welcomes fair competition. But if they resort to conspiracies and schemes, I'm afraid China's ancestors were the masters of such tactics," Chen Feng said without haste.
"Are you saying you're going to America?" Professor Wang Mingchuan asked tentatively.
"fdrt is a multinational conglomerate with branches in China. I can simply deal with them here; there's no need to go to America," Chen Feng explained earnestly.
"Chen Feng, as far as I know, fdrt company has imposed strict technological blockades on China. How could they possibly have established a branch in China?" Professor Wang Mingchuan asked, bewildered.
"Professor Wang, you are correct. fdrt company is a typical anti-China enterprise that has severely guarded against China. Therefore, it's impossible for fdrt company to have established a branch in China. However, in today's world, it's a globalized era. China has a massive market demand for chips. To accurately grasp market trends, fdrt company cannot avoid having contact with China. To prevent similar predicaments, fdrt company has specifically established liaison offices in China. In simple terms, these liaison offices are solely responsible for monitoring every move in China's chip market. In secret, they have committed numerous misdeeds, including threatening and poisoning you. To prevent fdrt company from committing further wrongdoings, I must visit the fdrt company's branch in the capital," Chen Feng explained patiently.
Professor Wang Mingchuan understood immediately. At the same time, his admiration for Chen Feng grew. This young man, Chen Feng, had a very insightful understanding of matters. What was even more commendable was his upright spirit for China. Ordinary young people, when faced with multinational corporations, would only be timid and adoring. With extraordinary young officials like Chen Feng, China's future in the political arena was promising.
Without delay, Chen Feng immediately headed to the capital. Before officially returning to Mingshan City, he had to settle matters with the fdrt company, otherwise, the chip industry in Mingshan City would face significant hidden dangers. Around ten in the morning, Chen Feng arrived at the fdrt company's branch in China's capital.
Just as Chen Feng was about to enter, he was surprised to find armed police guarding the fdrt company's branch in the capital. The words "Internal Security" were visible on the armed police's armbands. Chen Feng was stunned. Good heavens, what was this?
"Halt! This is a special international unit. Unauthorized personnel are not permitted entry," the internal security guard said sternly.
"Isn't this just the fdrt company's branch in the capital? It's a common financial liaison office; why is it so formal?" Chen Feng asked with a furrowed brow. China was good in many aspects, but it tended to deviate from normalcy when dealing with foreigners or foreign affairs. Simply put, its attitude towards domestic companies was often condescending, making it difficult to get things done. However, towards foreign companies, its attitude was incredibly friendly, providing proactive service. Chen Feng believed that China's tendency to engage in such distasteful practices was fundamentally rooted in inferiority complex. If China did not suffer from inferiority complex, domestic and foreign affairs would have long been treated equally. If China were not self-deprecating, English would not have been the language for the college entrance examination. If China were not self-deprecating, women would not consider marrying into a foreign country as a remarkable feat... If China were not self-deprecating, it would be unthinkable for Chinese people to lose their bicycles and be unable to find them, while foreign lost bicycles were quickly recovered.
"You don't know what you're talking about! This is indeed the fdrt company's branch in the capital, but it's not an ordinary financial institution. The Capital's Ministry of Foreign Affairs specifically notified them as a foreign organization. What do you, a mere youngster, know? Get lost!" the internal security guard berated.
