“Uncle Dai, Qiuyue, you two go up and have some tea with Director Jiang first.”
Wan Yunting said to Dai Hanchi and Dai Qiuyue with a smile, “I still need to go treat Mayor Hu, and by the way, discuss the establishment of our Lingnan Province Traditional Chinese Medicine Association.”
“Okay, Xiao Wan, hurry up and get busy, don’t worry about us.”
Dai Hanchi nodded and smiled, “We’ll go back to the hotel first, and I’ll have Qiuyue pick you up tonight.”
“Mm.” Wan Yunting nodded and said nothing more. He entered the consultation room, picked up his medicine box, and went downstairs, heading directly to the main building of the Southern Hospital next door…
“Director Jiang, I have something to ask of you!”
Dai Hanchi and Dai Qiuyue sat before the reception tea table in Jiang Yichun’s office. Jiang Yichun asked curiously, “President Dai, what is it you need my help with?”
Dai Hanchi turned to look at Dai Qiuyue, sighed with a smile, and said, “It’s about my daughter…”
Meanwhile, in Hu Yaqing’s ward, she was sitting on the hospital bed. In front of her was a desk where she was looking at some documents. Her secretary and several leaders were also present, discussing work matters.
In the living room outside, Hu Yaqing’s mother, He Bailan, was chatting with some relatives. Upon seeing Wan Yunting enter, she smiled warmly and said, “Doctor Xiao Wan is here.”
“Mm.”
Wan Yunting smiled and nodded at He Bailan, saying, “I’m here to give Mayor Hu a check-up.”
“Okay, I’ll take you in…”
He Bailan personally led Wan Yunting into the ward and said, “Yaqing, stop working, Doctor Xiao Wan is here to check on you.”
“Wan Doctor is here,” Hu Yaqing said as she saw Wan Yunting enter, handing her mobile phone and documents to her secretary.
“Mayor Hu, how are you feeling today? Is your back still hurting?”
Wan Yunting politely nodded to the other leaders present and approached Hu Yaqing’s hospital bed, asking with a smile.
“It doesn’t hurt anymore, I feel like my back is completely fine,” Hu Yaqing said with a happy smile.
“Whether it’s fine or not, I need to examine you to know.”
Wan Yunting put down his medicine box and said with a smile, “Mayor Hu, please lie down, I’ll give you a simple examination.”
“Okay.”
Hu Yaqing turned over and lay on the hospital bed. Wan Yunting did not lift her clothes, but placed his hands on her lower back, asking, “Does it hurt here?”
“It doesn’t hurt…”
“How about here?”
“It’s a bit numb, but it doesn’t hurt…”
The secretary and leaders standing by the bedside watched Wan Yunting examine Hu Yaqing’s back injury, looking at each other in surprise.
They had already heard about what happened yesterday, and coupled with Wan Yunting being a celebrity in Huadu City now, Hu Yaqing’s secretary and the leaders all knew who he was.
A few minutes later, Wan Yunting confirmed that Hu Yaqing’s back injury was fine. He then took his hands away and said with a smile, “Mayor Hu, your back injury has recovered very well. You no longer need to be hospitalized.”
“That’s great.”
Hu Yaqing turned over and sat up, looking at Wan Yunting and smiling, “Doctor Wan, thank you so much. Otherwise, I would have had to lie in the hospital for two months with this back injury, delaying my work.”
Wan Yunting smiled and said, “Mayor Hu, work is important, of course, but you still need to make more time for rest in the future. For example, when you’re working, sit for an hour, then get up for ten minutes to twist your waist and move around. This way, your waist won’t be so tired.”
“Okay, I’ll listen to you from now on.”
Hu Yaqing nodded with a smile, which greatly surprised her secretary and the leaders present.
It wasn’t the first time they had reminded Hu Yaqing like this, but she had never listened. They were surprised that she had agreed to Wan Yunting’s advice so readily.
This showed that Hu Yaqing greatly admired this young man.
“Mayor Hu, are you very busy right now?”
Seeing that the secretary and leaders were all there, Wan Yunting asked, fearing it might not be convenient to discuss matters.
“Not too busy.”
Hu Yaqing looked at him and smiled, “Is there something you want to tell me?”
Wan Yunting nodded and said with a smile, “There is indeed something I want to confirm with Mayor Hu! Have you seen the news about Sima Hongyun, the Vice Chairman of the Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, today?”
“Sima Hongyun, the one who treated me yesterday?” Hu Yaqing was taken aback. She really hadn’t seen the news today.
“Mayor, that Vice Chairman of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association is a hot topic in our local news today. Please take a look…” The secretary took out her phone, found the news, and showed it directly to Hu Yaqing.
“This is outrageous!”
Looking at the news report of Sima Hongyun’s indecent photos and videos with two women at the Garden Hotel, Hu Yaqing was shocked.
She had originally intended to be discharged from the hospital and meet Sima Hongyun to give him a stern warning, but unexpectedly, he had gotten into trouble today.
“Truly shameful.”
The leaders beside them also felt outraged upon seeing it. “As the Vice Chairman of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, to have such character is simply despicable.”
“Disgraceful, utterly disgraceful. Their Sima family is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine family in Beijing, how could they produce such a corrupt person?”
“This Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Association is very corrupt.”
A middle-aged leader said, “I think he probably got his position as Vice Chairman through connections.”
The secretary and several leaders nodded in agreement, sighing helplessly, “Now Huadu will be famous nationwide again…”
Besides such incidents, Huadu City would also have to bear the blame. It was likely that the police would launch a crackdown on pornography and illegal publications in the coming days.
Hu Yaqing looked up at Wan Yunting and said, “Doctor Wan, you wanted to tell me about this matter?”
Wan Yunting nodded and said, “Mayor Hu, I know the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association is not under your jurisdiction, but I assume you know that our Huadu City’s Ministry of Education has selected several primary schools to add a Traditional Chinese Medicine course for third-grade students, right?”
Hu Yaqing said, “I know about this. Minister Zhao from the Ministry of Education reported it to me, and I approve of the educational reform plan proposed by Principal Gu.”
Wan Yunting nodded and continued, “Then does Mayor Hu know that this Sima Hongyun, representing the Chairman of the Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, is coming to our Huadu City to severely criticize and oppose Principal Gu’s Traditional Chinese Medicine education reform plan, and they also want to remove Principal Gu from his position as President of the Huadu Traditional Chinese Medicine Association!”
These words surprised Hu Yaqing, her secretary, and the leaders. “There’s such a thing? Why wasn’t it reported by those below?”
The secretary quickly said, “Mayor, Minister Zhao seemed to have mentioned it to me yesterday, but seeing you in the hospital, I delayed reporting it, intending to report it when you felt better in the next couple of days.”
“Xiao Sun, how can you not know the importance of the matter? Can such a thing be delayed?” Hu Yaqing’s pretty face turned stern, and she sternly rebuked her secretary, Sun Zhiwei.
“Yes, I was wrong.” Sun Zhiwei lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
Seeing that Hu Yaqing was about to continue scolding her secretary, Wan Yunting said, “This matter was decided by the Chairman of the Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, so Sima Hongyun’s arrival in Huadu was very sudden. The seminar on Traditional Chinese Medicine education reform held this morning at the association building was a critique of Principal Gu by people from Beijing!”
Hu Yaqing’s phoenix eyes widened slightly, her pretty face darkening, clearly very angry. She asked, “Is Sima Hongyun still in Huadu now?”
Wan Yunting shook his head and said, “After the news came out this morning, he left. He’s probably gone back to Beijing.”
“Hmph, people like him are a disgrace to your Traditional Chinese Medicine Association. You don’t need to listen to them,” a middle-aged leader said to Wan Yunting.
Hu Yaqing nodded and said to her secretary, “Call Minister Zhao and tell him to immediately reinstate the Traditional Chinese Medicine courses for third-grade primary school students.”
“Yes.”
The secretary nodded and immediately contacted Minister Zhao from the Ministry of Education on her mobile phone.
Wan Yunting said, “Mayor Hu, at noon today, Principal Gu, Director Jiang, and I unanimously agreed that our current Traditional Chinese Medicine Association is experiencing severe corruption and internal strife, which is completely threatening the future development of Traditional Chinese Medicine!”
“Therefore, we suggest establishing our own Lingnan Province Traditional Chinese Medicine Association!”
