Chapter Thirty-Five: Forced onto the Front Stage

  After Lin Shengtang finished speaking, he also asked the audience below some questions as usual. However, it was obvious that there were very few Chinese medicine practitioners in the audience who stood up to ask questions. Lin Shengtang seemed to be used to this phenomenon and nodded slightly before sitting back down.

  Later, several famous professors separately discussed the issues of coronary heart disease, heart disease and brain tumors. These professors' explanations were not bad at all. Wang Zhi sat on the stage listening with great interest and gained a lot from it.

  "Dr. Wang, would you like to go over and say a few words?" He Yang suddenly said to Wang Zhi as he watched another professor finish speaking.

  "How come, we also have the qualification to go and give a speech." Wang Zhi asked with some curiosity.

  "Haha, what is Dr. Wang talking about? We are not inferior to those professors in any way. Although we are basically nominal in the government and don't have any substantial positions, it's not simple to be called a government official's special doctor. Like those who treat high-ranking leaders, even in ancient times, they would be considered imperial physicians. Without real talent and learning, who can gain the trust and appreciation of their leaders?" He Yang said with a light smile.

  "Haha, I see." Wang Zhi smiled and nodded, suddenly enlightened. Although he wasn't too familiar with modern officialdom, he was very knowledgeable about ancient officialdom. No wonder the people from the Chinese Medicine Association treated the government-appointed advisors so lavishly, setting up so many seats on what wasn't even a large stage. It turned out that these doctors with government titles were actually the lowest-level imperial physicians. Although they were arrogant, they had to be treated with caution.

  "How about it, don't you want to go over and say a few words? This is a great opportunity to make a name for yourself. You know, although our Jianghuai is not the provincial capital city, due to Mayor Lin's connections, even if it were the provincial capital city, it would still be unmatched." He Yang urged, he had always heard that Wang Zhi's medical skills were quite good, but he had never seen him before. If Wang Zhi was willing to go over and say a few words, he could also see what kind of skills he had. When Lin Qiwai came, he had instructed them to treat Wang Zhi with respect, absolutely not to be negligent. He Yang wasn't a jealous person, but being respectful to a young man still made him uncomfortable.

  What a remarkable person Lin Qiwu is, the son of the Lin family. Even Wen Hai, the current governor of Jiangnan Province, shows great respect to Old Man Lin and doesn't dare to be slightly disrespectful. To be able to gain Lin Qiwu's appreciation, Wang Zhi must have an extraordinary good fortune. Moreover, it's said that this young man also saved the life of Qi Lao from Kyoto. His future is absolutely bright! He Yang, although not daring to openly offend Wang Zhi, is more than happy to see him make a fool of himself on stage. He just doesn't believe that Wang Zhi, a young man in his early twenties, can remain calm and composed in front of many medical professors.

  "No, I don't have anything good to say." Wang Zhi smiled lightly and said. He didn't have the ability to read minds, so he naturally didn't know about the small scheme that He Yang was thinking of in his heart.

  "What a pity, I've always heard that Dr. Wang's medical skills are superb, and today was supposed to be a good opportunity to learn from him, but it seems that won't be possible now." He Yang said with a smile, also secretly thinking what a shame, this young man is not even tempted by fame, can he really not even talk the talk?

  Wang Zhi didn't want to go, but someone wouldn't let him off the hook. At this time, the one who came on stage was Wang Zhi's old acquaintance, Jiang Yuanhua from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department of Jianghuai City Central Hospital, also a veteran in the field. This old fellow walked to the center of the stage, but instead of sitting down to give a speech, he smiled and said: "Fellow medical professionals, today I won't say much. In the past year or so, there haven't been any research achievements to share with everyone. However, I can recommend a new talent in the medical field. This person's medical skills are superb, although young, but has accumulated rich experience, and has achieved some remarkable accomplishments. I hope he can come and give a talk, don't know if everyone welcomes him?"

  Jiang Yuanshu was speaking, Wang Zhi felt a sense of unease, silently cursing in his heart, "This old guy is setting me up, isn't he pushing himself to the forefront?" It wasn't that Wang Zhi didn't know what to say, but rather that at such a young age, he would definitely be made to suffer, and this was something Wang Zhi greatly disliked.

  After listening to Jiang Yuanhua's words, a doctor who knew Jiang Yuanhua in the audience shouted loudly: "Since he is Professor Jiang's admired person, we naturally welcome him."

  "So let's invite Dr. Wang Zhi to say a few words, everyone welcome." Jiang Yuanhua now fully played the role of host, shouting loudly, with a bit of a welcoming superstar on stage.

  Jiang Yuanhua finished speaking, turned around and looked in Wang Zhi's direction, with a faint smile. Not only Jiang Yuanhua, but also Han Zhixin and Zhou Boran turned their heads to look at Wang Zhi, making it impossible for him not to stand up.

  "Wang Zhi, which professor Wang Zhi is it? I've never heard of him, could he be an expert from Kyoto?" As soon as Jiang Yuanhua's words left his mouth, a warm round of applause erupted from the audience, and everyone's minds were filled with guesses about who Wang Zhi was.

  Since he was pushed out by the old man, Wang Zhi was not afraid either. He slowly stood up, took a fierce glance at Jiang Yuanhua, and walked over slowly.

  "Cut!" The doctors in the audience saw Wang Zhi approaching and suddenly fell into an uproar, with many of them revealing disdainful expressions. They had originally thought that Wang Zhi was a professor from Kyoto, or at the very least, an expert from another province. But it turned out he was just a young whippersnapper, still wet behind the ears. Many people were extremely disappointed and regretted clapping too hard earlier. Some even cursed Jiang Yuanhua for being shameless, pushing his own relative into this situation in such a setting. If not for considering Jiang Yuanhua's influence in the medical field over the years, many would have loudly jeered.

  Not only were the people under the stage furious, but some old professors sitting on the stage also had a bad face. Lin Shengtang even slapped his thigh and said angrily: "Nonsense, this is simply nonsense! What did Lao Jiang take this exchange conference for? It's simply child's play."

  "It's unbelievable, I don't know how such a young kid got in here. At most, he just graduated from college, how does he qualify to sit on the stage? What is this management team doing?" Another old professor also said indignantly.

  "Haha, everyone, don't make a fuss. This is the medical consultant from Jianghuai City. Although he's young, he has some skills. Let's listen to what he has to say." At this time, Han Zhixin spoke up on one side.

  "What's this, Old Han you also know this kid, whose disciple is he?" Upon hearing Han Zhi Xing say this, the few people were no longer scolding and curiously asked. Han Zhi Xing was a well-known honest man in the Jiang Huai medical community, who never spoke big words. Since he said that this young man had some skills, it's likely that he was quite capable.

  "I don't know who specifically taught him, but just a few days ago, I cured a patient with severe heart disease at my hospital. The patient had already suffered from atrial failure and even surgery would have only given him a 30% chance of survival. But he was cured with just acupuncture and a few doses of Chinese medicine. Although he hasn't fully recovered yet, his recovery is going very well. I estimate that he will be completely healed within a month." said Han Zhixin.

  "What? How is this possible? Old Han, you're not mistaken, are you?" Several people heard the words and were all disbelieving, asking questions one after another.

  "Hehe, don't be surprised, this kid is not simple at all. You can see that for yourself, Old Jiang is not a reckless person." Zhou Boran smiled slightly and interjected, still unclear to this day where Wang Zhi's exquisite medical skills came from.

  When even Lian Zhou Boran said so, the old professors also stopped talking and looked at Wang Zhi with curiosity, wanting to see what was special about this kid that made Jiang Yuanhua and others praise him endlessly.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Dr. Wang Zhi, the medical consultant sent by Jianghuai City this time. Although Dr. Wang is young, his medical skills are absolutely formidable, and I believe he will not disappoint everyone." Several old professors were on one side, but Jiang Yuanhua didn't know how they were doing. Seeing Wang Zhi approaching, Jiang Yuanhua introduced him to everyone again, then stepped down himself, leaving Wang Zhi alone in the middle of the podium.

  "So young, yet a medical advisor for Jianghuai, probably got the job through connections. What could he possibly be capable of? What a waste of time." Many people were thinking to themselves, some doctors had even started yawning.

  Wang Zhi smiled and glanced at the audience below, a bitter smile in his heart. This Jiang Yuanhua was not a pushover, just look at the expressions of these people down there, which one would listen to his speech?

  With a hint of complaint in his heart, Wang Zhi also had to face it. He couldn't just leave like that, which would make people even more disdainful. After collecting his emotions, Wang Zhi bowed to the crowd below and said loudly: "Fellow medical professionals, I'm just a humble learner, and I didn't want to come up here to show my ignorance. But since Professor Jiang pushed me up here, I'll say a few words. If I don't do well, I hope you all will forgive me."

  After a brief greeting, Wang Zhi ignored the reactions of the people below and sat down behind the podium, smiling and saying: "Today I didn't prepare anything either. How about this? If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I'll say a few words if I know the answer. If not, please forgive me in advance. By the way, I'm studying traditional Chinese medicine, so don't ask me about Western medical theories."

  "What?" The crowd heard Wang Zhi's words, and they were all shocked in their hearts. They didn't expect that Wang Zhi was not only young but also so arrogant. Letting everyone ask questions freely was something that even the old professors from earlier wouldn't dare to say out loud. This kind of speech wasn't as simple as it seemed earlier. It required mastery of a hundred different areas, and medicine was just one aspect of it. Who could possibly study every single area thoroughly? Mastering one area was already extremely difficult, so what was this kid's secret? Was he really fearless or did he really have the skills?

  First of all, thank you to several book friends for your rewards. Xiao Xiao is very grateful and with your support, Xiao Xiao's confidence has increased a lot. I hope that each of the book friends will continue to support traditional Chinese medicine, Xiao Xiao is endlessly grateful.
