Chapter 1513 A Matter of Principle

Wan Yunting drove slowly to his doorstep and immediately received a call. Seeing the display name, he couldn't help but be startled. He quickly answered with a smile, "Sister Xingwen, have you had dinner yet?"

"Mm, still preparing. I just got off work," Ruan Xingwen said from home with a smile. "I saw the news and knew you were back in Huadu City today, so I called."

Wan Yunting felt guilty and apologized, "I'm sorry, Sister Xingwen. I've been too busy. I should have called you in advance."

Ruan Xingwen smiled, "It's fine. As long as you have time to visit, Mo Yi knows you're back and has been clamoring to see you."

Wan Yunting nodded and said, "After I finish these two days, I'll come to see you then."

"Okay, that's all for now. You should go eat quickly too."

"Mm, bye-bye…"

After they hung up, Wan Yunting couldn't help but sigh. Although he maintained a certain relationship with Ruan Xingwen, he couldn't give her anything, which made him feel quite guilty. Therefore, he really needed to find time to spend with them properly…

"Yunting is back…"

As Wan Yunting entered his home, he saw his second brother, Wan Dongming, strolling in the front yard holding his nephew and greeting him happily.

"Second Brother, you're off work."

Wan Yunting walked over, took his nephew from his brother's arms, and asked with a smile, "How is it? Has the company been busy lately?"

"It's alright, not particularly busy," Wan Dongming said with a smile. He had now taken over as the CEO of Chaoting Group's headquarters in Huadu City, showcasing his personal abilities and becoming a top figure in Huadu City's business circles.

The brothers chatted for a while, and then second sister-in-law Wang Chulin called them in for dinner.

"Mm, why don't I see Ke'er and Miaomiao?" Entering the dining room, Wan Yunting realized that Qi Miaomiao and Su Ke'er were not there and asked.

Wang Chulin smiled and said, "They went out this afternoon. They said they were going to look at Hanfu."

Wan Yunting's expression faltered, and he asked doubtfully, "Were they together?"

Wang Chulin looked at his incredulous expression and chuckled, nodding. "It's strange, they were still bickering this afternoon. Then, suddenly, Ke'er saw Miaomiao's Hanfu was beautiful, and they started chatting about it. In the end, they happily ran out, saying they were going to stroll along Hanfu Street to pick out some Hanfu for Ke'er."

Wan Yunting immediately shook his head and laughed. He knew that Su Ke'er and Qi Miaomiao would get along, as the two girls had very similar personalities.

"I've already called Ke'er. They said they're coming back now…"

"Mm, Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, let's not worry about them and start eating…" Wan Yunting sat down, and his second brother also brought out some wine. The brothers drank a few cups and chatted happily about family matters…

Half an hour later, they heard movement outside. Su Ke'er, wearing a long Hanfu dress, and Qi Miaomiao returned happily with shopping bags of various sizes in their hands…

Wan Yunting and Wan Dongming, having finished their drinks, were sitting in the living room having tea. Seeing the two return, Wan Yunting asked with a smile, "Was it fun?"

"Oh, Brother Yunting, you're back…" Su Ke'er exclaimed in surprise, then twirled around and asked happily, "How is it? Does this Hanfu look good on me?"

"Mm, it looks good. Did Miaomiao pick it for you?" Wan Yunting looked at the girl wearing a Hanfu dress that appeared very youthful and energetic, truly having a unique charm.

"Of course." Qi Miaomiao puffed up with pride and smiled, "Ke'er's style is similar to mine, and this one suits her well."

Su Ke'er then took out a few more bags, all containing Hanfu, and wanted to show them to Wan Yunting. "I have two more sets here, all picked out by Miaomiao for me…"

Wan Yunting found it amusing. This girl, who had been like a sworn enemy with Qi Miaomiao before, had now become good sisters.

"Alright, you two, hurry up and go eat." Wan Yunting waved his hand helplessly, urging them to go eat quickly…

"Alright…" The two then happily went in to eat, chatting and laughing about Hanfu knowledge. After all, Qi Miaomiao and Gu Luotang were professionals in wearing Hanfu, and this was her strong suit, so she naturally knew much more than Su Ke'er, who was just starting to get into it.

Wan Dongming cast an envious glance at Wan Yunting. He really wanted to ask his younger brother how he managed to balance his relationships with his many confidantes. Wan Yunting felt a bit embarrassed by his second brother's gaze and said, "Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law is watching you!"

Indeed, Wang Chulin, holding their son, was staring at him with her eyes fixed on him.

"Ha, Chulin, it's time to take our son upstairs to bathe." Wan Dongming turned back and gave Wang Chulin an awkward laugh. Wang Chulin gave him a lingering look, hugged their son, and went upstairs. Seeing his second brother's helpless expression, Wan Yunting laughed, knowing he was henpecked…

The next day, Wan Yunting woke up early. After having breakfast with his second brother and the others, he drove alone to the Huadu City Traditional Chinese Medicine Association office building. Qi Miaomiao had repeatedly said she would come to help him, but instead, she slept until noon and then took Su Ke'er out to stroll along Hanfu Street… Wan Yunting didn't expect these two girls to do anything for him. As long as they were happy, that was enough.

"Chairman Wan has arrived…" At the association's office building, Ruan Wen, wearing a lace dress with her beautiful hair elegantly let down, looked even more radiant and charming than the day before, having put on makeup. Her red lace cutout dress perfectly showcased her voluptuous figure, and her mature charm and elegant demeanor were irresistible to any man. However, Wan Yunting's expression was calm. He ignored Ruan Wen's intentionally flirtatious posture, merely nodded indifferently, and went directly to find Jiang Yichun and the others. Seeing this, Ruan Wen couldn't help but stomp her foot, having dressed so exquisitely, yet he didn't even glance at her more…

"Depart!"

Shortly after, Wan Yunting, along with Li Chengde and Deng Hongsheng, as well as Li Kun and Zhang Wen, and Ruan Wen and Ma Yong, and a group of members from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, set out to inspect all the traditional Chinese medicine clinics in Huadu City one by one…

"What? Close my clinic? On what grounds?"

"Impossible! I obtained my medical practice qualification certificate myself. There is absolutely no violation. You cannot revoke my medical practice qualification certificate…"

This day was a nightmare for TCM practitioners in Huadu City's TCM circle. Wan Yunting personally led the team to investigate clinic after clinic, sealing off those that had violations. Not only in Huadu City, but Li Yuxiu in Hunan Province, as well as Shen Tonghe and others, also used thunderous methods to revoke the medical practice qualification certificates of problematic clinics and quack doctors who caused great harm. They were also prohibited from engaging in any TCM-related activities in the future… In one morning, more than a dozen clinics in Huadu City were shut down, and the medical practice qualification certificates of over twenty TCM doctors with issues were revoked, prohibiting them from practicing in the future.

After lunch, Wan Yunting led everyone to continue inspecting clinics and cracking down on those with violations. However, there were also good TCM clinics and good TCM doctors in Huadu City, who had good reputations. Wan Yunting personally inspected them and chatted with the old TCM doctors… He also received support from the old TCM practitioners, who believed that what Wan Yunting and his team were doing was for the future of TCM, and therefore supported the removal of rotten elements and the elimination of harmful quack doctors…

That afternoon, Wan Yunting, accompanied by Ma Yong and Ruan Wen, arrived at a TCM clinic named Heren Tang!

"Chairman Wan, welcome to Heren Tang for your inspection…" Immediately after, a familiar face happily scurried out of the clinic to greet Wan Yunting. The person was He Chang, the person in charge of Heren Tang! Perhaps everyone had forgotten that the first TCM doctor invited by the richest man, Kang Hongwen, to treat his elderly mother was He Chang!

"Doctor He, long time no see." Wan Yunting looked at He Chang and smiled, then looked up at his Heren Tang, which was decorated very grandly. He said with a smile, "Your clinic is nicely decorated, very luxurious, and in a good location."

"Hehe, we also rely on Chairman Wan's care." He Chang nodded and bowed obsequiously, then immediately invited Wan Yunting and Tang Qizhi to enter with Ruan Wen and the others…

As Wan Yunting entered the clinic, he had to admit that He Chang's clinic was indeed decorated very luxuriously. All the decorations and medicine cabinets were made of good quality rosewood, showing that he was truly willing to spend money.

"Doctor He, are there any problems with your clinic?" Wan Yunting turned to look at He Chang, recalling their first meeting. He had asked him about his medical practice qualification certificate back then. At that time, Wan Yunting was nobody, but He Chang's attitude had been quite good. However, this fellow was not honest; he had even almost tricked Wan Yunting into becoming his disciple to obtain the qualification…

"Chairman Wan, I, He Chang, have been practicing medicine for over ten years. I have never had any problems with my personal practice, and every medicinal ingredient sold in my clinic is genuine and of high quality," He Chang said, patting his chest and assuring Wan Yunting, "My personal medical skills and my clinic are absolutely fine!"

Wan Yunting looked at his serious and nervous expression and patted his shoulder with a smile, "Doctor He, don't be nervous. I haven't really said that your personal medical skills are problematic."

"We have already investigated secretly. Your clinic is quite good, but you only serve wealthy clients and look down on ordinary citizens. This is not good, Doctor He!" He Chang's expression faltered, but he was relieved in his heart. As long as his clinic was fine, that was enough.

"I will change this. I will definitely change it in the future," He Chang said with a fawning smile.

Wan Yunting nodded and said, "You must change it. We TCM practitioners cannot differentiate people by social status. Medical skills are to benefit the people, not just to serve a select few. This is a matter of principle, and I hope Doctor He can understand."

"Yes, Chairman Wan, you are right. I will change starting today," He Chang nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Wan Yunting nodded. Seeing that the time was almost up, he smiled, "Then I won't disturb you any longer, Doctor He. Let's go." Ruan Wen and Tang Qizhi, who were following him, nodded and left Heren Tang. He Chang also ran out to see them off. After watching Wan Yunting and the others leave, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat of nervousness from his forehead…

Wan Yunting then continued to inspect other clinics with Ruan Wen and the others. They were divided into several groups. Wan Yunting led one group with the new members of the association, Deng Hongsheng led another group, and Li Chengde led another group, to conduct on-site inspections of all TCM clinics in Huadu City…
