The next day, Wan Yunting woke up early.
He saw Zhang Xian'er in the living room, rolling from the sofa onto the carpet, still sleeping soundly, completely lacking the demeanor of a delicate lady.
But thinking that her true form was a tiger demon, Wan Yunting understood. He went to wake her up and said, "You stay in the hotel for a while. Eat whatever you want, and I'll settle the bill later."
"Got it, don't disturb my sleep..."
Zhang Xian'er, without opening her eyes, curled up with a pillow and fell back into a deep sleep.
Wan Yunting shook his head and smiled, grabbed a laptop bag, and left. He walked out of the hotel entrance and went to a breakfast shop next door, where he ate a local specialty lamb noodle soup and gnawed on two lamb trotters. He only got into the car to leave when someone from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association arrived...
He soon arrived at the headquarters of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association. President Bahar had already gathered all the members of their association and was waiting in a simple conference room.
"Chairman Wan is here!"
With a loud shout, Wan Yunting walked in. Everyone in the conference room stood up and applauded, shouting, "Welcome, Chairman Wan..."
"Thank you..."
Wan Yunting smiled and nodded to everyone. President Bahar also walked up to him, pointed to the main seat at the conference table, and gestured for him to sit down...
Wan Yunting exchanged pleasantries with him before sitting down. His gaze swept across everyone in the conference room. Most of them were wearing local traditional clothing, both men and women. Except for a few Han Chinese, the others were from Xinjiang.
"Everyone, please welcome Chairman Wan to speak..."
Bahar stood up and applauded, and everyone else followed suit...
Wan Yunting pressed his hands down, and the crowd quieted. He first scanned the attendees, then gave an opening speech before getting to the main point.
He said, "The activity of free medical consultations in towns and villages by members of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association from all over the country must be implemented in every town and village."
"The purpose of doing this is to promote the reputation of Traditional Chinese Medicine, so I hope everyone will take this free consultation activity seriously."
Bahar and the other association members nodded, but they did not appear too happy. Wan Yunting noticed this and asked, "Does anyone have any questions?"
"I have a question!"
Suddenly, a woman in a red long dress sitting in the back stood up. Wan Yunting's gaze immediately shifted to her, and he was instantly captivated by her angelic beauty.
She was tall, with beautiful flowing hair. Especially her extremely beautiful face, she was definitely a Xinjiang standard beauty. She had a pair of beautiful, captivating eyes, a high nose, and alluring red lips. Her face was bare, yet she was more beautiful and charming than carefully made-up female celebrities.
"Chairman Wan, our Traditional Chinese Medicine Association is special, and I'm afraid we cannot..."
"Guli, be quiet!"
Bahar rebuked the woman in the local dialect, repeatedly winking at her, signaling her not to say this to Wan Yunting.
"Dad, I have to say it!"
As a result, the woman called Bahar "Dad," and it was clear they were father and daughter.
This woman, named Bahar Guli, looked at Wan Yunting and insisted, "The conditions of our Traditional Chinese Medicine Association are not very good, and I'm afraid we don't have enough funds to support free consultations in the towns. So, Chairman Wan, we might not be able to complete this task well!"
Wan Yunting looked at her deeply, then turned to President Bahar, who was standing beside him with a worried expression, and asked, "Is that true?"
"Chairman Wan, please don't misunderstand, she doesn't know anything. Don't worry, we will definitely complete the task," Bahar said nervously, his face full of anxiety.
Wan Yunting immediately stood up and said to Bahar, "Come out with me for a moment."
Bahar's expression froze. Everyone present exchanged glances, not knowing why Wan Yunting wanted to call Bahar out. Could he be angry?
Even Guli became nervous. By doing this, she was undermining her father and causing trouble for him. So she called out, "Chairman Wan, what are you going to do?"
Wan Yunting, who had just stepped out of the conference room, looked back at her askance and couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for President Bahar. I just want to have a private chat with him to confirm this matter."
After saying that, he went out. Bahar glared fiercely at his daughter Guli, told everyone to stay put, and then followed Wan Yunting out into a deserted corridor. He said nervously, "Chairman Wan, don't overthink it, actually..."
"Alright, President Bahar, your conditions here are indeed not very good. I can see that," Wan Yunting interrupted him with a wave of his hand, shaking his head.
From the journey so far, the conditions of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association here were indeed not very good. Moreover, the reputation of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Xinjiang was inherently small, so naturally, the conditions of their association were very poor.
"When the conference was held in Beijing, why didn't you inform us of this situation?" Wan Yunting asked Bahar, looking puzzled.
"Alas..."
Bahar sighed and said, "Our Traditional Chinese Medicine Association had just stabilized at that time, and Chairman Wan, you were so busy. I felt embarrassed to bring it up."
"Besides, this is not a big deal. We will slowly get better if we overcome it."
Wan Yunting shook his head and said, "If you have difficulties, you must tell us. Don't bear it silently. This is not only bad for you but also for the future development of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This is where you are wrong."
"Yes, yes, yes, I admit I was wrong." Bahar nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Wan Yunting waved his hand; he did not intend to blame Bahar. He then asked, "Tell me now, what is the fundamental reason why your Traditional Chinese Medicine Association cannot develop here?"
Bahar said, "To put it bluntly, our medical conditions here are not good, especially in the rural areas of the towns. The conditions there are even worse. Moreover, it is difficult to promote Traditional Chinese Medicine here, and the public does not trust it much, which is why our Traditional Chinese Medicine Association finds it difficult to develop."
Wan Yunting listened and nodded, then asked, "Does your Traditional Chinese Medicine Association still have funds?"
When money was mentioned, Bahar felt a bit embarrassed and shook his head, saying, "Not much money."
Wan Yunting said directly, "Then I will give you some funds. Do you have the confidence to make it work?"
Bahar's expression froze, and he immediately became excited, nodding and saying, "As long as the funds are in place, we can even do free consultations every day."
"Good, I will allocate funds to your association immediately. I don't care what methods you use, but you must ensure that the reputation of our Traditional Chinese Medicine reaches every person here, understand?" Wan Yunting said seriously.
"Yes, I guarantee that I can do it well," Bahar said excitedly.
In fact, to put it simply, they just lacked money. Now that they had money, there would naturally be no major problems.
"Let's go back in and continue the meeting."
With that, Wan Yunting and Bahar returned to the conference room. Guli and the other association members stopped their discussions when they saw them return...
Then, Wan Yunting formulated the plan for free consultations in towns and villages. The activity would last for a week, requiring everyone to go to every town and village. They were to be realistic and absolutely not go through the motions...
"The meeting is adjourned for now. Everyone, go back and prepare. We will set off tomorrow," Wan Yunting closed his laptop and said to everyone.
However, everyone present exchanged bewildered glances, their faces filled with uncertainty.
Guli's face sank, and she said coldly, "The practical issues haven't been resolved. How can we go to the towns for free consultations?"
"Exactly..."
Some people echoed her words.
Bahar immediately glared at his daughter, then stood up and said, "Chairman Wan said that funds will be allocated to our association as start-up capital, so you should all listen to Chairman Wan and hurry back to prepare."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes lit up.
Guli was the same. The reason she caused a scene in person was to stand up for her father and ask Wan Yunting to allocate funds to the local Traditional Chinese Medicine Association.
"Then we are relieved. Chairman Wan, we will leave now..."
When everyone heard that there was money, they felt relieved. They all stood up, greeted Wan Yunting, and left.
Finally, Bahar and his daughter Guli remained. Wan Yunting looked at her and smiled, "President Bahar, is she your daughter?"
"Yes, Chairman Wan. This girl was being unreasonable just now. I hope you will forgive her," Bahar said apologetically, pointing to Guli.
Wan Yunting stood up and nodded and smiled at Guli, "There's nothing unreasonable about it. On the contrary, I admire her. She bravely stood up to express the actual situation of your association. This is very good. Our Traditional Chinese Medicine Association lacks people like her."
Guli's beautiful eyes appraised Wan Yunting, and she nodded, "It seems the rumors about everyone are not false. Chairman Wan is extraordinary."
"Thank you for the compliment," Wan Yunting smiled.
Bahar then reacted and said with a smile, "By the way, Chairman Wan, it's lunchtime. Why don't you come to my house as a guest? I've already asked my wife to prepare local specialty dishes for you to try."
"Sure, I'd be honored."
Wan Yunting did not refuse. He intended to get along well with President Bahar and understand the other situations of their local association. Then he thought of something and asked, "Can I bring my friend?"
"Of course, of course, we welcome her..."
Bahar nodded with a smile, but he soon regretted it when he witnessed Zhang Xian'er's appetite.
Bahar's family lived in a small courtyard. Many people in their family lived there. His father was a very famous doctor in the local area, and their family could be said to be a family of physicians.
Wan Yunting's arrival made Bahar's family very happy. Guli's mother and other aunts prepared a lot of delicious food, such as the most characteristic lamb, roasted naans, and so on...
Zhang Xian'er's unrefined eating manner directly stunned Guli's entire family. They watched in disbelief as she ate ten roasted naans in a row and half a roasted lamb, which directly shocked Bahar...
