546: Chapter 546: Fight for Dignity 546: Chapter 546: Fight for Dignity “Hmph, then let’s bet on the dignity of my traditional Chinese medicine,” Tangyu said again.
Bet on the dignity of traditional Chinese medicine?
Such grandiosity.
Many people’s gazes were drawn to Tangyu, who had boldly suggested staking the dignity of traditional Chinese medicine.
It indeed sounded like an overstatement.
Even members of the traditional medicine team were looking at Tangyu.
Yu Zhaoke was particularly displeased, “Who do you think you are?
Really acting high and mighty, betting on the dignity of traditional Chinese medicine.”
Chairman Bi’s expression also shifted, as his gaze landed on Tangyu.
“Hmph, you people from Huaxia really like to talk big.
I don’t enjoy interacting with someone who boasts like you, it’s meaningless.
Forget it, just treat it like a trip,” Nathan said with a sneering smile.
Tangyu looked towards Chairman Bi, his face full of determination.
After exchanging a few glances with Tangyu, Chairman Bi walked over and said, “His words represent that of our Traditional Chinese Medicine Association.”
Tangyu’s words naturally didn’t carry much weight, but Chairman Bi’s words were indeed heavy, causing a stir all at once, with cameras clicking away nonstop.
Many people were astounded by Chairman Bi’s declaration, even thinking he had gone mad for placing the dignity of traditional Chinese medicine on the shoulders of an unknown.
Tangyu’s inclusion in the traditional medicine representative team was already surprising to most people present, as he hadn’t built any reputation for medical skills, remaining virtually unknown.
Chairman Bi’s statement undoubtedly pushed traditional Chinese medicine into the limelight.
The thick scent of gunpowder had everyone sensing that a major battle was about to unfold.
Nathan’s expression finally became somewhat more serious, but his look towards Tangyu still carried a hint of provocation, “Alright, since Chairman Bi has spoken, then I will take this bet with Captain Tangyu.
If I lose, I will never practice medicine again.”
Tangyu shook his head and said, “There are no national borders or academic distinctions in medicine.
I fight for dignity, my own dignity and that of traditional Chinese medicine.
If you lose, I don’t need Mr.
Nathan to give up practicing medicine forever.
I just need you to apologize in front of the media for underestimating our traditional medicine team today.”
“I will not apologize,” Nathan said.
“You will definitely apologize,” Tangyu said.
Their gazes fiercely clashed in the air, as if sparks might fly.
In this initial contest between the two team captains, the western medicine side had been prevailing, as the present-day dominance of western medicine is a global phenomenon, giving the other side a natural advantage.
Moreover, Nathan was one of the today’s Nobel Prize in Medicine nominees.
Being nominated for a Nobel Prize is in itself a great honor.
One could say that Nathan possessed many accolades and was draped in many honors, which boosted his arrogance.
However, Tangyu’s strong performance also helped the traditional medicine team even the score.
The two teams were on equal footing, at least in this first encounter, without letting the western medicine team gain the upper hand.
“Haha, young people, they all have their passions and enthusiasms, which is good.
Chairman Bi, shall we go in now?” Mr.
Pia said with a laugh.
Chairman Bi also regained his smile and gestured invitingly, “Mr.
Pia, please come inside.
If there is any lack in our hospitality, I hope you will forgive us.”
Amidst the throng of media, the crowd headed towards the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association.
“Well done, Tangyu.
We should indeed curb their arrogance.
These people are too proud and look down on our traditional Chinese medicine entirely,” Rao Yuanzhi said.
“There’s no point in just engaging in verbal prowess.
This time we are bound to fight for our dignity.
It is only by truly defeating them on the battlefield and making them genuinely convinced that we are doing what we should.
Talking more now is meaningless,” Tangyu replied.
“Yes, indeed.
This time, we will surely win,” Rao Yuanzhi said.
Ye Mai also approached Tangyu and, looking at him, said, “To fight for dignity, I support you.
You are someone worthy of my respect.”
“Thank you,” Tangyu said with a smile, genuinely surprised to hear those words from Ye Mai’s mouth.
Dignity is earned through strength, and it’s with strength that one can win the respect of others.
Tangyu was slowly achieving this through both his capabilities and his personal charisma.
“Ah, this is bad!
Someone with a heart condition has collapsed on the ground, and the situation looks very dangerous,” suddenly a voice drew everyone’s attention, as it turned out that a janitor had suddenly suffered a heart attack and collapsed on the ground in very critical condition.
“Let me do it,” a blonde woman from the western medicine delegation quickly went forward and arrived at the janitor’s side.
She promptly pressed on the janitor’s body and then took out a syringe from her bag, injecting the janitor with a dose of medicine.
In less than five minutes, the janitor recovered and stood up as if nothing had happened.
The blonde woman said something in English, and though the janitor couldn’t understand, an interpreter went over and said, “Auntie, Ms.
An Nali says you have an acute heart condition and you were in great danger just now, but she has already cured you.
You will not suffer from this condition again in the future.”
“Ah, what?
My heart disease is cured just like that, and it won’t happen again?
This is too miraculous, right?” The cleaning lady’s face was full of disbelief.
“This An Nali is really something else.
The injection she just gave must be a newly developed drug.
America has always been at the forefront of pharmaceutical research, even now with drugs like DNA and biochemical medications,” Liu Shiyi said.
Tangyu nodded and said, “Indeed, she’s very capable and has a lot of strength.
An Nali is the most capable person in the Western medicine team when it comes to heart disease.
She owns numerous invention patents, and just the skill she demonstrated is enough to prove her strength.
The power of this Western medical team is indeed very strong.
But that’s alright.
Only by defeating strong opponents can we feel a sense of accomplishment, and only then can the profound and extensive knowledge of Chinese medicine be shown.
If all the opponents were ordinary, there would be no meaning.
An Nali’s move has also given us a welcome gift.”
The Traditional Chinese Medicine Association team also agreed, indeed considering An Nali’s gesture a welcome gift.
The following media journalists were snapping away like mad.
This event would obviously be broadcasted very quickly.
Heart disease, although not considered a difficult and miscellaneous disease, is still a major illness that has always been hard to treat.
But this time, a Western medical expert cured a cleaner with many years of heart disease in just five minutes.
Once this news spreads, it will certainly cause a significant stir.
And this is exactly what the Western medical delegation wanted to see; they intended to use the power of the media to promote themselves and suppress Chinese medicine.
This little episode was quickly passed over, and everyone arrived at the conference room.
The media friends also squeezed into the conference room, making the originally spacious room crowded.
The Chinese medicine team and the Western medicine team sat separately, and as usual, the leaders of both sides made some brief statements about the Chinese-Western medical exchange meeting – formal speeches were definitely needed.
The speeches by Chairman Bi and Mr.
Pia took a full hour to complete.
“Chairman Bi, we have also brought a small accomplishment that we would like to show you.
It will make its first appearance in front of the media, so I hope Chairman Bi can share his insights after viewing,” Mr.
Pia suddenly said.
Chairman Bi’s face still showed a hint of a smile, but he knew in his heart that the Western medical team’s offensive had already begun.
It was both quick and fierce, not even waiting until tomorrow but starting their first wave today.
There was no avoiding it; he had to face it.
Chairman Bi smiled and said, “Well then, we are indeed fortunate to have a look.
I’m sure it will be quite enlightening, won’t it?”
“Haha, Chairman Bi, you flatter us,” Mr.
Pia also smiled.
As soon as he finished speaking, Nathan stepped up to the podium with a laptop, connected it to the projector, and soon some images appeared on the large screen, accompanied by Chinese explanations.
“Biomedical Remedy DHA5!”
“What, a single dose of DHA5 can cure terminal liver cancer?
How is that possible?”
“This is unbelievable!
Did the Americans really manage to develop such a drug?
This is simply a revolution in medical history.
If it’s true, then the world’s ten major difficult diseases will no longer be the ten major difficult diseases.”
“Don’t think too optimistically.
Even if it’s true, I expect the cost of a single dose of DHA5 to be extremely high, probably ranging from several hundred thousand to millions of dollars.
Not everyone can afford it, and I doubt they can produce it on a mass scale yet,” someone said.
Chairman Bi’s face also showed intense emotion, as he was currently suffering from liver cancer himself.
Even if America’s discovery couldn’t be widely distributed in the short term, it would still be a revolution in medical history.
Once announced, this breakthrough would stun the world.
Nathan, seeing the reaction of the crowd, smiled even more broadly and said, “As everyone has seen, this is our newly developed Biomedical Remedy DHA5, a result of my team’s work.
We have conducted over a dozen trials, and a single dose of DHA5 can completely cure patients with terminal liver cancer, and the recovery only takes a mere three days.
Yes, you heard right, just one dose of DHA5, and within three short days, a patient on the verge of meeting God due to terminal liver cancer can be reborn.
Of course, this is just one of our achievements.
What we brought is not only DHA5.
What we want to show you is an unprecedented medical breakthrough.”
“What, there are other remedies as well?
This is too unbelievable!”
“Crazy, absolutely crazy.
American medicine has developed to such an extent that it seems there’s no disease that American medicine can’t cure.
This time, the Chinese medicine team is destined to lose.”
“How can you even compete?
There’s no comparison.
Only Rao Shezhen and Doctor Xiao have some fame among those youngsters, but these Western medical experts have brought Biomedical Remedy here.
It’s over; there’s no competition,” someone else chimed in.
The media journalists were all abuzz with discussion.
“A bunch of sycophants, bah!” Yu Zhaoke was fuming with anger at the reporters’ comments.
“Hmph, what’s so great about Biomedical Remedy?
Chinese medicine achieved things thousands of years ago that Western medicine cannot achieve even now.
Even if they bring lots of Biomedical Remedy, they will still suffer a crushing defeat this time,” Tangyu snorted coldly to himself.
Nathan’s gaze suddenly turned towards Tangyu, a mocking smile curling at his lips, “Someone issued a challenge to me earlier, which is great.
But what I want to say is, no one can challenge us, don’t even think about trying because we are the strongest.
Our Western medicine is the most advanced and the strongest in the world.
Our remedies are also the most advanced in the world.
This time, what I’m going to give you is not just shock but sheer astonishment.
I will definitely let everyone witness what truly advanced medicine is, what real Biomedical Remedy is.”
“I will also let you witness what true Chinese medicine is,” Tangyu retorted.
