The next day, Wan Yunting woke up early. His second brother Wan Dongming and second sister-in-law Wang Chulin, along with Qi Miaomiao and Su Ke'er, had also risen.
After breakfast, they took their niece Wan'er to visit their eldest sister Wan Manyu at Huadu Prison.
“Yunting, you’re here…”
At the prison gate, Warden Ma Zhendong greeted Wan Yunting and his companions.
“Mm, Brother Dong, how has the old man been lately?”
Wan Yunting let his second brother and the others go ahead while he exchanged a few pleasantries with Ma Zhendong.
“He’s doing alright. No health issues, everything’s good.”
Ma Zhendong walked with him behind Wan Dongming, smiling. “Why don’t you come over for dinner tonight? The old man knows you’re back in Huadu City and have been making quite a stir. He’s very supportive of your work and has been eager to talk to you in person.”
“However, his old comrade knows you’re busy, so he didn’t dare to approach you directly.”
Wan Yunting nodded and smiled. “How about this, I’ll go see the old man at noon. I have other matters to attend to in the afternoon, and I have to head to Fujian Province tomorrow morning.”
Ma Zhendong nodded and smiled. “No problem, it’s fine even if you can’t make it. We can all get together when the year-end holidays come around.”
Wan Yunting nodded and smiled. After a brief chat, he went to visit his eldest sister.
“Yunting, you’re here.”
In the room, Wan Manyu was holding her daughter and smiled as Wan Yunting entered. “You’ve been very busy lately, haven’t you?”
Wan Yunting smiled apologetically. “It’s been okay. Sister, how have you been?”
Wan Manyu seemed to be in good spirits and nodded with a smile. “I’m doing well. But when are you going to let me see your daughter?”
Wan Yunting smiled. “During the New Year holidays. I’ll bring Yanxi and the others to see you then.”
“Okay…”
Wan Manyu smiled and nodded, continuing to chat with everyone…
Wan Yunting also made a point of visiting Hou Bing and chatted with Ma Zhendong again. He learned that his eldest sister and Hou Bing had been behaving well inside, and their sentences had been commuted.
Even higher-ranking officials, based on Wan Yunting’s personal heroic deeds, had shown special consideration for his eldest sister.
It was even possible that her sentence would be further reduced, allowing Wan Manyu to be released from prison early.
After visiting his eldest sister, Wan Yunting first asked Su Ke'er and Qi Miaomiao to return with his second brother and sister-in-law, while he went directly with Ma Zhendong to visit the elder Mr. Ma Jianguo and his family…
After staying for lunch, Wan Yunting headed straight to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association office building in the afternoon. He convened a meeting with Jiang Yichun, Deng Hongsheng, Li Chengde, Tang Qizhi, Ruan Wen, and Ma Yong.
“In one month, all practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine will have to undergo a major assessment!”
Wan Yunting sat at the head of the table, his expression serious as he addressed everyone present. “The examination venue will be held at the school. Considering various factors, the major assessment can be held continuously for three months, with examinations scheduled within a designated period each month to allow more TCM practitioners to participate.”
“Furthermore, the same standards will be used for medical licenses. If the passing grade is not met, approval for a medical license will absolutely not be granted.”
“Understood…”
Everyone nodded, indicating they understood.
Wan Yunting’s expression softened. “Everyone, this major reform has completely changed the landscape of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Whether we can continue to sustain it in the future depends on all of you.”
“I don’t need to say anything else. As long as you can remain true to yourselves, I believe that in the future, we will be able to revive and greatly advance Traditional Chinese Medicine.”
“Chairman Wan speaks eloquently…”
Everyone couldn’t help but applaud, especially Ruan Wen, whose alluring eyes curved, her gaze towards Wan Yunting filled with admiration and affection…
After the meeting, Wan Yunting continued to chat with Jiang Yichun and Deng Hongsheng in the office for a long time. It was only when Su Ke'er called that he got up to leave…
As he walked out of the office building, Wan Yunting was preparing to drive to Nanfang Hospital. He spotted Ruan Wen, dressed in a floral print dress, standing outside a nearby coffee shop, waving at him from a distance…
Seeing this, Wan Yunting walked over and smiled. “Sister Wen, you’re slacking off again.”
“Hehe, I’m doing it for you.”
Seeing that there were no acquaintances around, Ruan Wen linked her arm with Wan Yunting’s and entered the coffee shop. They went directly upstairs to a private room she had booked in advance, and she eagerly lunged into Wan Yunting’s arms…
“Don’t, be careful of hidden cameras!”
Wan Yunting immediately stopped her, his eyes scanning the small private room to ensure no cameras were present.
“Mm, there are none.”
After Wan Yunting’s inspection confirmed no suspicious cameras, Ruan Wen pounced on him, acting as if they were in the passionate stage of a new romance. She asked, “When are you leaving tomorrow?”
Since he still had to go to Nanfang Hospital later, Wan Yunting couldn’t do anything with Ruan Wen. He smiled and said, “The flight is in the morning. I still have to go to Nanfang Hospital later.”
“Alright.”
Seeing this, Ruan Wen could only pout and sigh.
Wan Yunting held her waist and sat her on his lap, smiling. “It’s okay, I’ll be back in Huadu City during the New Year holidays.”
Ruan Wen’s alluring eyes lit up, and she embraced Wan Yunting, kissing him…
A little while later, Wan Yunting emerged alone, got into his car, and headed directly to Nanfang Hospital. Ruan Wen then came out and returned to the association’s office building to continue her work…
“Brother Yunting, why did you take so long?”
In the emergency department of Nanfang Hospital, Su Ke’er, wearing a demure Hanfu-style long dress, waved at the approaching Wan Yunting.
“Mm, I just finished a meeting, and I hurried over,” Wan Yunting replied with a smile. He then asked, “Did you see Director Jiang?”
“I did, but Tongxin is busy again, so you won’t be able to see her.” Su Ke’er linked her arm through his, her lips pursed.
“Is that so.”
Wan Yunting smiled wryly. “Then next time.”
“Mm-hmm, let’s go home.”
Su Ke’er nodded and left with Wan Yunting.
Jiang Tongxin was indeed busy in the emergency department, treating a newly admitted patient…
In the evening, Jin Xiuwen, He Chengping, and Xue Jianchao each brought their women over. They had a simple gathering at home, chatting and laughing.
Jin Xiuwen and Dai Qiuyue had received the Dai family’s approval and were expected to marry at the end of the year, so everyone offered their congratulations.
Jin Xiuwen was now the CEO of Yanting Beauty Company, managing all aspects of the company alone. Wan Yunting had transferred his shares to Jin Xiuwen as a wedding gift for his elder brother.
The next morning, Wan Yunting got up early. He was flying to Fujian Province that morning…
So, after having breakfast with his second brother and sister-in-law, he took Qi Miaomiao and Su Ke’er to the airport and flew directly to Fujian Province…
For the next period, Wan Yunting was fully immersed in the storm of reforming Traditional Chinese Medicine. Upon arriving in Fujian Province, he met with the chairman of the local Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, working together to clear out the corrupt elements and cancerous tumors within the association, eradicate the harmful quacks, and implement the major assessment…
In just one month, various opinions about the major reforms began to erupt across the TCM community in different regions!
And the most prevalent were criticisms against Wan Yunting and Li Yuxiu!
However, these remarks could not deter their determination for a thorough overhaul of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Within this month, countless medical clinics and pharmacies operating under the banner of Traditional Chinese Medicine across the country had to close down.
At the same time, many TCM doctors who did not meet the standards for medical licenses were removed, instantly reducing the number of TCM practitioners nationwide by more than half.
The Chinese Traditional Chinese Medicine community officially entered the era of post-major reform!
Some lamented, while others rejoiced and cheered!
Truly skilled TCM practitioners of the past, unable to practice their art for the world and feeling helpless due to the lack of a medical license.
Now, with the major assessment promoted by Wan Yunting and Li Yuxiu, the requirements for obtaining a medical license were based on genuine TCM principles, completely free from any Western medical influence.
As Gu Yuanbai had said, TCM and Western medicine must be separated for greater development space!
Therefore, those TCM practitioners who had previously failed to obtain their medical licenses finally succeeded in acquiring them through the major assessment promoted by Wan Yunting and Li Yuxiu.
Thus, in this short span of over a month, countless quacks who had falsified their medical licenses had fallen, but more truly skilled TCM practitioners had risen again.
And this group of people showed extremely high support rates for Wan Yunting and Li Yuxiu, supporting them with one hundred percent conviction.
The month-long major reform storm had finally come to an end.
Wan Yunting, Li Yuxiu, Wei Datong, Shen Tonghe, and their teams had traveled to TCM associations across the country, implementing the major reform plan, which had also concluded successfully.
But this was only the beginning.
The next step was to completely separate Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western medicine!
For this plan, the TCM Association led by Wan Yunting and Li Yuxiu could not take action for the time being!
Instead, the principal of Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Gu Yuanbai, would be taking the lead!
However, achieving the complete separation of TCM and Western medicine would not be accomplished overnight.
After all, the concept of integrating TCM and Western medicine had been deeply ingrained in people’s minds for decades.
Furthermore, this involved complex relationships on all fronts!
Therefore, implementing this plan would require a considerable amount of time.
What Gu Yuanbai needed to do first was to gradually differentiate TCM and Western medicine from an educational perspective, and then execute it step by step.
Meanwhile, Wan Yunting and Li Yuxiu, although their major reform storm operation had just concluded, still needed to solidify the morale of the TCM associations nationwide!
And to re-establish channels for the development of Chinese medicinal herbs, as well as to open up new ones, so that farmers growing medicinal herbs could gain greater profits, and so that good quality medicinal materials could reach skilled TCM practitioners and be used to their fullest potential, benefiting the populace.
This was a comprehensive development plan, requiring a vast amount of work to be executed.
Today was December 3rd. At Beijing International Airport, a private jet slowly landed.
Subsequently, Wan Yunting was seen emerging, carrying a travel bag, with Qi Miaomiao and Su Ke’er, looking travel-worn.
For the past month, Qi Miaomiao and Su Ke’er had accompanied him. The two women had not only focused on leisure but had also assisted Wan Yunting, doing a lot of work and providing considerable help, causing Su Ke’er to lose several pounds from exhaustion.
“Mm, I just landed. I’m heading back now.”
Wan Yunting received a call from Li Yuxiu, knowing that she had finished her work outside two days prior and had returned to Beijing before him.
Outside the airport, his family had already sent a car to pick him up.
“Miaomiao, Ke’er, you two head home first. I need to go to the TCM Association,” Wan Yunting said, handing his travel bag to the bodyguard and asking Qi Miaomiao and Su Ke’er to go home first.
“Alright, we’ll be going then.”
Qi Miaomiao nodded and left with Su Ke’er.
Wan Yunting also got into a car, telling the driver to take him directly to the Beijing TCM Association office building.
He also called Fang Yanxi and Gu Luotang, informing them of his arrival in Beijing and that he would be home in the afternoon.
