"Gu Lao, what's wrong?"
Looking at Gu Yuanbai and Jiang Yichun, as well as Ding Huixiang and Wei Datong and others present, Wan Yunting asked, "Why were we suddenly summoned tonight? Is there something going on?"
Gu Yuanbai sighed and said, "It's still about the association recruiting people!"
Wan Yunting raised an eyebrow. Jiang Yichun said, "Now that Weng Dehai has become the president of the Huadu Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, and Sima Wentang from the capital has launched a series of reforms, greatly relaxing many restrictions on channels, many people on our side cannot resist their temptations and have already defected to them."
Wan Yunting raised an eyebrow and asked, "They are reforming?"
"Yes."
Ding Huixiang said, "For example, they support individual practitioners of TCM clinics, even providing funding. They have also reformed quotas in major hospitals and the eligibility certificates for practicing medicine. Therefore, most physicians who originally wanted to join our Lingnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association are now unwilling to leave the Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Association."
"Alas, just as we were starting, Sima Wentang began to reform and fund individual practitioners. They are trying to win people's hearts," Zhang Fenglin sighed.
Meng Kang continued, "It's indeed difficult to make a decision, as our Lingnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association's sphere of influence is only our Lingnan Province and a few surrounding provinces."
"However, the Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Association represents the entire Chinese TCM community. Yesterday, Sima Wentang convened a meeting and talked at length about reforms, so many people are enticed, including some of our current association members!"
"Not only that, but they have also launched support projects in rural areas, supporting barefoot doctors or TCM practitioners in the countryside and reforming medical facilities to allow more people to enjoy these benefits. Therefore, Sima Wentang's reforms for the Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Association are truly a formidable force!" Zhang Fenglin said solemnly.
Wan Yunting raised an eyebrow, "Gu Lao, weren't these projects supposed to be launched by us? Why did Sima Wentang suddenly change his mind and promote them himself?"
"Yes, I don't know who leaked the news, but many of our projects have been copied by them," Jiang Yichun said.
Ding Huixiang widened her eyes and looked around at the people, "I think there's a spy among us!"
These words made Wei Datong, Zhang Fenglin, and Meng Kang exchange glances. Gu Yuanbai, stroking his old eyebrows, actually suspected that someone had deliberately leaked the next project direction of the Lingnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association.
Otherwise, in the meeting convened by Sima Wentang yesterday, many of their reform plans were essentially the same as the project plans of the Lingnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association.
For example, medical support for rural areas, these were all proposed by Gu Yuanbai and others, and they had already begun to implement them.
As a result, Sima Wentang and his group directly announced to the public the launch of reforms and promotion of health stations and medical care in rural areas nationwide, and they also supported TCM doctors in the countryside to protect their inheritance.
The support and momentum of the Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Association this time are enormous, which is why many people are beginning to waver.
Compared to the Lingnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, its scope is currently limited to Lingnan Province and the surrounding Xisheng Province, Min Province, and Guizhou Province. However, even in these three provinces, only a small number of TCM practitioners have joined the Lingnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, so the promotion efforts naturally cannot compare to those within Lingnan Province.
"Lao Gu, this matter needs to be thoroughly investigated. We cannot let malicious people take advantage of the situation," Jiang Yichun also said solemnly.
"Yes, this matter certainly needs to be investigated carefully," Gu Yuanbai nodded.
At this moment, Gu Luotang brought over a bowl of wontons, "Yunting Ge, the wontons are ready. Taste them and see how they are."
"Okay, thank you."
Wan Yunting did not stand on ceremony. He took the large bowl of wontons and then ate a wonton with chopsticks handed to him by Qi Miaomiao. He looked up and smiled at the two girls, "Delicious."
Receiving the man's praise made Gu Luotang and Qi Miaomiao very happy. However, seeing their grandfather and the others discussing important matters, they didn't dare to say much more to Wan Yunting.
"Gu Lao, what should we do next?"
Wan Yunting asked Gu Yuanbai while eating wontons.
"The most urgent thing now is to enhance the reputation of our Lingnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association within our circles!" Gu Yuanbai turned his head and looked at him.
Wan Yunting raised an eyebrow, not quite understanding the issue for a moment.
"That is, to enhance the purpose and contributions of our Lingnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association in the national TCM circle, such as what diseases we can tackle, and our efforts in protecting the inheritance of TCM. This will attract many people to understand our association," Jiang Yichun added.
"Understood."
Wan Yunting nodded and took another bite of wontons.
Then Gu Yuanbai said, "Xiao Wan, during the medical duel, did Xiao Jing and Zhang Wenxia come to see you for treatment?"
"Mm."
Wan Yunting nodded and said, "Xiao Jing came the day before yesterday, and I also prescribed medicine for him to take back for treatment. Zhang Wenxia came to see me today, but because the fumigation therapy is a bit special and requires modifying an outdoor sauna room to meet the conditions for fumigation therapy, it will take some time to treat the patient."
Gu Yuanbai and the others listened and nodded. Zhang Fenglin asked, "Are you really confident in curing their illnesses?"
Wan Yunting swallowed the wontons in his mouth, nodded with a smile, and said, "For Xiao Jing's palmar keratosis, you can see the effect in about a week. If the effect is good, his illness can be cured in less than three weeks."
"As for Zhang Wenxia, her skin laxity is a rare disease worldwide. It's also my first time treating it, so I can't guarantee a complete cure, but I have about a seventy percent chance of improving her condition. However, her treatment may last for one to two months."
"Good, it's good that you have confidence."
Wei Datong and Meng Kang and others praised him one after another. Zhang Fenglin smiled, "Palmar keratosis is also a very rare disease. If you can truly cure this disease and then write a paper to publish, it will definitely influence the entire TCM community, and even the global medical community."
"Yes..."
Ding Huixiang and the others nodded. Gu Yuanbai and Jiang Yichun were also happy. They knew that Wan Yunting was a direct disciple of the Divine Doctor with a Ghostly Hand and had inherited all of Master Gongsun's lifelong learning, so they were not surprised that he could cure these rare diseases.
"Xiao Wan, we have always been curious, who exactly is your master?" Meng Kang asked Wan Yunting with great curiosity.
"Yes, at such a young age, you have such superb and exquisite medical skills. What fumigation therapy, these are things we have never thought of," Wei Datong also said curiously.
"This..."
Seeing everyone suddenly bringing up this issue made Wan Yunting a little embarrassed. He could only apologize with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, Meng Lao, Uncle Wei. My master does not want me to reveal his name externally, so I hope you will forgive me."
"What's wrong with saying that?" Ding Huixiang glared and said.
"Yes, is your master some reclusive master?" Zhang Fenglin and the others seemed a little confused.
"Alright."
Gu Yuanbai waved his hand to Ding Huixiang and the others, saying, "Xiao Wan is unwilling to say, so we don't need to ask further. Let's return to the main topic."
Meng Kang, Ding Huixiang, and Wei Datong looked at each other when they heard Gu Yuanbai say this, as if they had guessed something.
Next, they continued to discuss how to effectively respond to the reforms of Sima Wentang and the Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Association...
After all, the Lingnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association had just started and involved many levels of relationships. If the association's reputation was not enhanced and strengthened, it would be impossible to compete with the Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Association.
Under Sima Wentang's various suppressive tactics, the current Lingnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association would only make Wan Yunting and Gu Yuanbai's path increasingly difficult.
Unless they could find a breakthrough to attack the giant that was the Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, they would remain confined to Lingnan Province, being nibbled away by Sima Wentang bit by bit until they collapsed.
