"So, you and Gu Yuanbai are determined to do this?"
Kong Jingguo’s gaze slanted towards Wan Yunting, seeing their resolve. He couldn't help but feel a touch of worry. "Actually, there are people in higher places who supported this idea and even proposed it before!"
"But you should also know that not everyone supports this approach. Because once Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western medicine are separated, it will lead to many serious problems. It involves too many things, making some people afraid to take the risk!"
Wan Yunting's expression was solemn. "Director Kong, if education continues in this way, Traditional Chinese Medicine has no future!"
"Mm, I know."
Kong Jingguo nodded, looking at him. "I support you, and I also have a suggestion: don't make too big a splash all at once, or it will be counterproductive!"
Wan Yunting's eyes lit up. "You mean, we should find an inconspicuous place and conduct a small-scale experiment?"
"That's right."
Kong Jingguo nodded. "Also, tell Gu Yuanbai not to create too much of a stir at the school. Execute your plan step by step, and gradually separate the education of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western medicine!"
"As for the Ministry of Education, I will personally speak with them."
"That's great."
Wan Yunting was pleased. "Director Kong, with you stepping in, we've taken a big step."
Kong Jingguo waved his hand. "But you must remember my words: don't make too big a move all at once!"
Wan Yunting nodded, but he worried again. "I'm just afraid that capital will be the first to jump out and cause trouble!"
Kong Jingguo nodded. "They will definitely cause trouble, but the public isn't foolish. Everyone can see the truth!"
This statement instantly enlightened Wan Yunting. He smiled. "Thank you for your reminder, Director Kong. We know what to do next."
Kong Jingguo nodded. "In fact, those capital forces have already crossed the red line, and it's time to suppress them."
"Many leaders are also paying great attention to the health and diet of our citizens!"
"After all, cancer is becoming younger and younger, which makes many people worry about this issue!"
"Indeed."
Wan Yunting took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and sighed. "Putting that aside, let's talk about Western medicine first. There are too many non-compliant hospitals across the country, causing great harm to ordinary people like us."
"There's a saying that poverty makes illness hard to cure, and hospital treatment costs are simply too high!"
At this, Kong Chaoyu couldn't help but interject, "But Chairman Wan, research costs are also high, which is why it's so expensive!"
Wan Yunting turned to look at her and smiled. "That's the control of capital!"
Kong Chaoyu's pretty face stiffened, and she nodded in understanding.
Wan Yunting turned back to Kong Jingguo. "To speak frankly, our China is not like those capitalist imperialist countries abroad!"
"For decades, Traditional Chinese Medicine has been deliberately smeared and suppressed. Who benefits from this if not capital?"
"To put it grandly, they are step-by-step destroying our Chinese TCM culture!"
"Therefore, Principal Gu and I had to take a risk and stand up to resist this situation, to change it, and to truly revive Traditional Chinese Medicine for the benefit of the common people."
"This is the only thing we people should do!"
His last sentence was spoken with such powerful conviction that Kong Chaoyu, who was pouring tea nearby, couldn't help but nod. Her beautiful eyes gazed at Wan Yunting, feeling that he exuded a radiant aura at that moment...
"Mm, we understand..."
Kong Jingguo nodded. How could someone in his position not understand?
"Then we'll have to trouble you, Director Kong." Wan Yunting breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.
Kong Jingguo nodded and asked Kong Chaoyu to refill his teacup, then changed the subject. "Have you contacted Ziqing recently?"
Wan Yunting's expression faltered slightly. He shook his head and smiled. "Since Sister Ziqing returned to the Wudang Sect last time, I haven't heard from her."
"Alas..."
Kong Jingguo sighed. "I had hoped to have Ziqing marry you, but her temperament is peculiar. She doesn't consider romantic relationships at all anymore."
Being brought up again, Wan Yunting smiled awkwardly and nodded. "Sister Ziqing is devoted to the Dao; she probably doesn't care about such things."
Kong Jingguo shook his head slightly. "Her personality is actually my fault!"
Wan Yunting's expression froze. He had always been curious about what had happened between Kong Jingguo and Ziqing that caused Ziqing to disown him as a father.
"Never mind."
Kong Jingguo waved his hand and then said, "Stay for lunch."
Wan Yunting smiled and nodded, not refusing.
So, he followed Kong Jingguo and his daughter for a simple lunch. As it was getting late, Wan Yunting chose to leave the Kong residence...
Kong Chaoyu personally saw him out. Wan Yunting thought of something and asked, "Chaoyu, do you know your cousin Kong Bingyi's girlfriend?"
Kong Chaoyu's pretty face showed surprise. She looked at him strangely. Wan Yunting smiled. "I met your cousin Kong Bingyi bringing his girlfriend when I visited your home before!"
"Oh, so you just happened to run into them."
Kong Chaoyu smiled. "I thought you already knew my cousin's girlfriend!"
Wan Yunting's expression was taken aback, and his old face couldn't help but smile awkwardly, knowing why she thought that.
"Mm, I don't know much about that Fan Sien!"
Kong Chaoyu shook her head slightly. "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, my cousin Bingyi brought her home once, but my uncle has an opinion of Fan Sien. My uncle had a dark expression throughout dinner that day. Heh heh, the atmosphere was incredibly awkward."
Wan Yunting nodded. Kong Chaoyu asked curiously, "Why are you suddenly asking about this?"
Wan Yunting didn't know how to tell her!
After all, ordinary people wouldn't believe that demons existed in this world!
"It's nothing, I just feel that your cousin's girlfriend is not simple!" Wan Yunting could only say this.
"Oh, you think so too?"
Kong Chaoyu looked at him with surprise in her beautiful eyes. "When I first met her, I also felt that her intentions were not pure, as if she was deliberately approaching my cousin Bingyi!"
Wan Yunting smiled. It would be good if that Fan Sien were merely purposeful.
But she carried demonic energy!
"Alright, I'll be going back now."
Wan Yunting smiled at Kong Chaoyu as he walked out of the main gate of the Kong residence.
"Okay..."
Kong Chaoyu, also a Hanfu enthusiast, usually dressed in exquisite Hanfu dresses when going out. Combined with the natural aura of a well-bred young lady she exuded, she looked as beautiful and captivating as a fairy from an ancient painting.
"By the way, there's a calligraphy and painting exhibition in the Beijing literary circle the day after tomorrow. I wonder if you want to attend?" Kong Chaoyu then asked.
Wan Yunting actually didn't know about this, but he shook his head slightly and smiled. "I'm afraid I won't be able to attend. The TCM Association is very busy during this period, and I can't get away."
"Is that so."
Seeing this, Kong Chaoyu couldn't hide her slight disappointment. She smiled. "If your esteemed Immortal of Calligraphy doesn't attend, this calligraphy and painting exhibition will lose its luster."
"Sigh, you flatter me."
Wan Yunting smiled and waved his hands. He didn't care about outsiders praising him and bestowing him titles like Immortal of Calligraphy or God of Calligraphy.
"Farewell."
Wan Yunting didn't chat with her further, turned, and got into his car. He left under Kong Chaoyu's gaze...
Watching the car slowly drive away and disappear, Kong Chaoyu let out a soft sigh and murmured to herself, "If only he were a devoted person...!"
Wan Yunting drove straight to the Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, then found Gu Yuanbai and told him about the issues he had discussed with Kong Jingguo.
Gu Yuanbai was very happy to learn of Kong Jingguo's support. He also followed the advice and planned to gradually implement reforms within the university, separating the educational concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western medicine.
"But Yunting, Director Kong's suggestion is for us to first find an inconspicuous place for the experiment. Where do you plan to conduct it?" Gu Yuanbai asked.
"Mm, I'm thinking about this too!"
Wan Yunting nodded and raised his eyebrows. "Actually, Director Kong's suggestion is correct. If we make a big fuss all at once, it will inevitably lead to many serious consequences."
"Therefore, we should choose a place to build a purely Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital and conduct our reform experiment plan. We shouldn't attract too much attention initially. We need to gain the recognition of the general public first."
Gu Yuanbai nodded. After a moment of thought, they both smiled and said, "Huadu City!"
"Haha, Yunting, you're thinking the same as me. We'll build a real TCM hospital in Huadu City!" Gu Yuanbai laughed.
Wan Yunting smiled and nodded. "Huadu City is our old base. Building a TCM hospital there secretly for the experiment, with Elder Jiang and the others helping, is the best!"
"Alright, I'll talk to Old Jiang about this matter later."
After reaching an agreement with Wan Yunting, Gu Yuanbai immediately called Jiang Yichun to discuss the suggestion, and Elder Jiang naturally agreed.
Wan Yunting smiled. "I thought I would rarely return to Huadu City in the future, but it seems I'll have to go back frequently!"
Gu Yuanbai nodded and smiled. "You take charge of this matter. I and Yu Xiu will be here in Beijing, and there won't be any problems."
"Mm, even if you, Elder Gu, don't get involved, with Sister Yu Xiu here, our TCM Association won't encounter any major issues."
Wan Yunting smiled. "After all, everyone in our TCM Association is united. So I can go all out!"
"Good, then let's go all out."
Gu Yuanbai smiled and chatted with Wan Yunting about many detailed issues. Unconsciously, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon when Wan Yunting returned to the TCM Association's office.
"You're back. Why did you take so long?" Li Yuxiu was still in her office. Seeing Wan Yunting enter, she asked suspiciously.
"Mm, I went to the school this afternoon to chat with Elder Gu."
Wan Yunting closed the office door, walked directly towards Li Yuxiu, and smiled. "Director Kong has agreed and will speak with the Ministry of Education to support Elder Gu's educational reform plan!"
"Really? That's great."
Li Yuxiu was happy to hear this. She went out to pour Wan Yunting a glass of water and brought it over, smiling. "With the support of the leaders above, Principal Gu's reform plan will be fine."
Taking the water cup, he took a sip, pulled Li Yuxiu to sit on the sofa in the reception room, and smiled. "However, Director Kong suggested not to make too big a fuss, otherwise it will be counterproductive!"
"Mm, that's for sure."
Li Yuxiu nodded and smiled. "I believe Principal Gu has his own reform plan. We don't need to worry about these things."
"Yes."
Wan Yunting smiled. "I've also discussed with Elder Gu, and we plan to build the first purely Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital in Huadu City!"
Li Yuxiu's expression stiffened. "Why not in Beijing?"
Wan Yunting smiled. "Beijing attracts too much attention. If we were to do it in Beijing, this matter would instantly explode!"
Li Yuxiu nodded, understanding the logic. "Then will you have to travel between the two places from now on?"
"Yes."
Wan Yunting nodded with a smile, then stood up and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's have dinner and discuss this matter further..."
"Okay..."
Saying that, Li Yuxiu tidied up her things, and then left work with Wan Yunting. They went to a small restaurant nearby and booked a private room. They ate and discussed the details of building the TCM hospital in Huadu City...
