"Wen Hao, someone from the Su family will find you later. No matter what conditions they offer, agree to all of them."
Wan Yunting said this while driving, making a phone call to Jiang Wen Hao.
"Understood, teacher. I get it."
Jiang Wen Hao, who was still in the capital, didn't know what was happening, but his teacher's words were like imperial decrees; there was no need to inquire or doubt.
"That's all for now. I'm hanging up."
With that, Wan Yunting hung up the phone. Su Ke'er, sitting in the passenger seat, gazed at him with her big, expressive eyes and said, "Brother Yunting, you really don't have to..."
"Silly girl, do you really want to sever ties with your family?" Wan Yunting glanced at her, smiling gently.
Su Ke'er lowered her head, pursed her red lips, and said, "But I don't want them to use my relationship with you to ask for favors..."
"It's not a big deal. If I can help, I will."
Wan Yunting reached out his right hand, gently stroked her head, and comforted her with a smile, "Alright, he's my future father-in-law after all. If I don't help with this little matter, he'll continue to oppose her marrying me, wouldn't that be more troublesome?"
These words made Su Ke'er look up, cast him a sidelong glance, and pout playfully, "Who wants to marry you."
"Haha, you don't want to marry? Alright then, I'll marry someone else."
"How dare you!"
Su Ke'er's big eyes widened, she pointed at Wan Yunting and huffed, "If you dare to marry someone else randomly, I absolutely won't let you off."
"No, no..."
Wan Yunting waved his hand with a smile, knowing what Su Ke'er was thinking.
"But Brother Yunting, I still thank you."
Su Ke'er looked at him gratefully with her big eyes. Although she didn't want him to help her family, some things were unavoidable.
"Silly girl, there's no need to be polite between us."
Wan Yunting glanced at her and said with a smile, "Besides, helping your Su family is really no big deal. Don't overthink it, okay?"
Su Ke'er then smiled, nodding her little head, "Mhm, I knew you were amazing..."
Soon, Wan Yunting drove to the Capital Medical Academy. He dropped Su Ke'er off at the roadside near the main entrance. The girl didn't want him to drive her in, lest people at the hospital find out about his relationship with her!
Then, Wan Yunting drove directly back to the office of the Chinese Medicine Association. As soon as he entered the main gate, he saw Gu Yuanbai and Liu He coming out together. Wan Yunting asked, "Elder Gu, Vice Chairman Liu, where are you two going?"
"Xiao Wan, you're back just in time."
Gu Yuanbai said, "We just received a call from Deputy Director Xia, asking the three of us to go to the Health Commission for a meeting!"
"A meeting?" Wan Yunting raised an eyebrow. Liu He said, "It should be an exchange conference hosted by Korean medicine!"
Wan Yunting nodded, understanding. Gu Yuanbai had mentioned it before. It seemed the Health Commission calling the three of them for a meeting meant this matter was indeed happening.
So, the three of them drove to the Health Commission. Director Kong Jingguo was not present; Deputy Director Xia Xinhou was in the reception room entertaining several representatives from the Republic of Korea, specifically the Vice Chairman of the Korean Medicine Association, Kim Jae Won.
"Deputy Director Xia, Chairman Wan and Vice Chairman Gu have arrived!"
"Good."
Xia Xinhou stood up and smiled at the Vice Chairman of the Korean Medicine Association, Kim Jae Won, "Representative Kim, Chairman Wan and the others from our Chinese Medicine Association have arrived. Let's go over together."
The gentleman, Kim Jae Won, understood Chinese and spoke it quite fluently. He stood up and smiled, "Alright, Deputy Director Xia, please."
"Please..."
The two exchanged pleasantries, walked out of the reception room, and moved to a conference room. Indeed, Wan Yunting, Gu Yuanbai, and Liu He were already there. Seeing Xia Xinhou leading Kim Jae Won and his entourage in, Wan Yunting and the others stood up and smiled as they greeted, "Deputy Director Xia..."
"Chairman Wan, Vice Chairman Gu, Vice Chairman Liu..."
Xia Xinhou greeted the three of them with a smile, then introduced Kim Jae Won, who was following him, "This is the Vice Chairman of the Korean Medicine Association, Vice Chairman Kim Jae Won."
At the same time, Xia Xinhou also introduced Wan Yunting to Kim Jae Won, "This is Chairman Wan Yunting of our Chinese Medicine Association, this is the esteemed Vice Chairman Gu Yuanbai, and Vice Chairman Liu He."
Facing Kim Jae Won from the Korean Medicine Association, Wan Yunting stepped forward politely, extended his hand, and smiled, "Hello, Vice Chairman Kim. Welcome to our China."
"Hello, Chairman Wan..."
Kim Jae Won sized Wan Yunting up a few times with his gaze, then extended his hand for a handshake. He smiled and said, "I've long heard that Chairman Wan is remarkably capable at a young age and has become the Chairman of the Chinese Medicine Association. You truly are a distinguished individual."
Wan Yunting released his hand and smiled, "I didn't expect Vice Chairman Kim's Chinese to be so fluent. It seems you've lived in China before?"
Kim Jae Won nodded and smiled, "That's right. More than ten years ago, I had the good fortune to live in China for a period and learned the Chinese language."
"It's truly remarkable that you can speak it so fluently," Wan Yunting said politely.
Kim Jae Won then politely shook hands with Vice Chairmen Gu Yuanbai and Liu He. After that, Xia Xinhou invited them to take their seats and got down to business, saying, "The reason Vice Chairman Kim of the Korean Medicine Association is visiting this time is primarily to invite our Chinese Medicine Association to send representatives to participate in the Traditional Medicine Exchange Conference hosted by their Korean Medicine Association in Country H!"
Sitting opposite Wan Yunting and Gu Yuanbai, Kim Jae Won and his group nodded and smiled, "Chairman Wan, on behalf of our Korean Medicine Association, I invite the Chinese Medicine Association to send representatives to participate in our Traditional Medicine Exchange Conference. I hope Chairman Wan can attend!"
Wan Yunting looked at Kim Jae Won, pointed to his own nose, and smiled, "Vice Chairman Kim, are you specifically asking me to attend?"
Kim Jae Won looked at him and smiled, "Chairman Wan, I've heard that your Chinese medical skills are superb, bringing the dead back to life, and that you became the Chairman of the Chinese Medicine Association at such a young age. Therefore, our Korean Medicine Association's Chairman specifically instructed me to ensure that you attend this session of the Traditional Medicine Exchange Conference in Country H. So, please, Chairman Wan, agree to attend as a representative."
Wan Yunting smiled, deep in thought.
Xia Xinhou, Gu Yuanbai, and Liu He all turned their gazes towards Wan Yunting. After all, this Traditional Medicine Exchange Conference hosted by the Korean Medicine Association, in addition to their own country, also invited countries like the Island Nation, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Of course, when it came to so-called traditional medicine, the focus was on China, the Island Nation, and the Republic of Korea.
"Vice Chairman Kim, our Chinese Medicine Association will definitely send representatives to attend this session of the Traditional Medicine Exchange Conference. As for whether I will attend, it depends on my current schedule."
Wan Yunting looked at Kim Jae Won and smiled, pointing to himself, "Of course, even if I don't attend, we will send Vice Chairman Gu, or perhaps Vice Chairman Liu, to attend as representatives."
Hearing this, Kim Jae Won showed a disappointed expression and said, "Chairman Wan, I still hope you can attend as a representative!"
Wan Yunting nodded with a smile, sensing the intention behind his words, and said no more.
After a period of casual chat about insignificant matters, the meeting adjourned.
After seeing Kim Jae Won and his group off, Wan Yunting and Gu Yuanbai were invited by Xia Xinhou to his office for tea. Xia Xinhou asked, "Chairman Wan, what are your thoughts on this Traditional Medicine Exchange Conference hosted by the Korean Medicine Association?"
Wan Yunting took a sip of the hot tea, put down the cup, and shook his head slightly, smiling, "No particular thoughts. Did the Sima family send people to similar exchange conferences in the past?"
"They did."
Xia Xinhou nodded and said, "This Traditional Medicine Exchange Conference has a certain influence among our several countries. Therefore, our Health Commission naturally hopes that you will send representatives to attend and participate, which can also be considered promoting our Chinese traditional medicine culture."
"Sending representatives to attend is certain," Wan Yunting said, his large hand turning the teacup, a smile on his lips.
Gu Yuanbai, sitting beside him, seemed to hear another layer of meaning in his words. He smiled at Deputy Director Xia and said, "Deputy Director Xia, it's getting late. We'll head back first. Once we've decided who will attend, we'll inform you."
"Good."
Xia Xinhou nodded, then stood up to see Wan Yunting and the others off...
The three of them left the Health Commission. Wan Yunting drove Gu Yuanbai back to the Chinese Medicine Association's office, while Liu He drove back alone...
Gu Yuanbai, sitting in the passenger seat, turned to look at Wan Yunting, who was driving, and asked, "Xiao Wan, do you think there's something wrong with this exchange conference?"
Wan Yunting glanced at Gu Yuanbai and shook his head, smiling, "It's not necessarily a problem, but I find it a bit strange that Kim Jae Won emphasized me attending as a representative!"
Gu Yuanbai's old brows twitched. Realizing something, his old eyes brightened and he said, "Sima Boyong?"
Wan Yunting smiled and nodded, "With Sima Boyong's capabilities, I don't believe he still has influence in the Korean Medicine Association when he's in Country H!"
Gu Yuanbai nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "If that's the case, then you really shouldn't attend as a representative to Country H!"
"No, I must go!"
Wan Yunting turned to look at Gu Yuanbai, a smile playing on his lips, "Sima Boyong is using this Traditional Medicine Exchange Conference to lure me to Country H. Naturally, he's set a trap for me to fall into. If I don't go, wouldn't that be letting down his good intentions?"
These words made Gu Yuanbai worry, saying, "Xiao Wan, precisely because of this, you cannot go. It's too risky. Let Liu He attend in your place."
But Wan Yunting shook his head, his eyes narrowed, and said, "Elder Gu, the grievances between me and Sima Boyong must be settled!"
"Even if he didn't use this Korean Medicine Association exchange conference to invite me to Country H, I would still find time to go to Country H and settle accounts with Sima Boyong. Since that's the case, why not take this opportunity to go? Moreover, I also want to see what kind of conspiracy and tricks Sima Boyong has prepared to harm me this time!" Wan Yunting said with a cold smile.
If Sima Boyong invited him so sincerely, wouldn't it be unappreciative of him not to go?
Gu Yuanbai frowned and said, "But going like this is too risky."
Wan Yunting waved his right hand and chuckled, "Don't worry about that. I have my own ways to ensure my safety. If Sima Boyong really finds a dozen martial arts experts waiting to kill me in Country H, I'll just turn around and run back. I wouldn't feel ashamed of that."
These words made Gu Yuanbai chuckle, "Are you really confident?"
Wan Yunting put away his playful demeanor, nodded seriously, and said, "Yes, I want to see what tricks Sima Boyong will use against me!"
