Chapter 806: Another Market Crash!
"Grandpa Yao knows Ani is very capable, so Ani must have a way," Grandpa Yao pushed the task directly onto Zhu Yanyi.
Zhu Yanyi opened her mouth wide: "Grandpa Yao, don't you feel guilty saying that?"
"Not guilty at all." Grandpa Yao looked very serious: "I just need to assign tasks. Whether you can do it or how you do it is your business, not mine." He spoke in a particularly shameless tone.
Zhu Yanyi was speechless. She could only rub her forehead: "Grandpa Yao, when did you become like this?"
"Since you created so many prescriptions, and since you came to the capital, I have become like this." Grandpa Yao didn't feel there was anything wrong with exploiting his apprentice. Instead, he patted Zhu Yanyi's shoulder and said: "Ani, Grandpa Yao knows you can definitely do it. You won't let Grandpa Yao down. So, Ani, go ahead boldly."
Well, in this round between master and apprentice, Grandpa Yao won, and Zhu Yanyi lost.
On the way back, Zhu Yanyi kept thinking about the medical exchange conference. Yan Aohan looked at Zhu Yanyi several times before asking, "Are you still thinking about the task your master gave you?"
Zhu Yanyi sighed softly: "Grandpa Yao’s task isn't impossible to achieve. But once achieved, the six of us, brothers and sisters, will become famous. Grandpa Yao could have done it himself. By making us participate, he is actually asking us to officially take over his baton."
"Since you understand Grandpa Yao’s meaning, why are you so unhappy?" Yan Aohan asked curiously.
Zhu Yanyi glanced at Yan Aohan: "I am not unhappy. I am just thinking about what might happen at this academic exchange." She paused and continued, "Traditional Chinese Medicine being suppressed is, in truth, Western medicine’s lack of confidence. On the surface, Western medicine is thriving, and TCM seems inferior. But what our people truly trust has always been TCM. Even in those turbulent times, TCM persisted. It is impossible for the TCM heritage to be broken or abandoned. If we use this opportunity well, TCM could enter a peak period again."
"So…" Yan Aohan listened to Zhu Yanyi and wanted to know her true meaning.
"I am wondering if TCM and Western medicine, both being medical arts, could merge to create a new kind of medicine," Zhu Yanyi said slowly. It seemed she hadn't taken the medical exchange conference to heart at all.
"I vaguely remember you know some Western medicine too?" Yan Aohan knew Zhu Yanyi excelled in TCM but also understood Western medicine.
"Of course," Zhu Yanyi said lightly: "Western medicine is actually a type of medicine suitable for Westerners, derived from TCM surgery. The climate and temperature in the West meant they didn't have our Chinese herbs, so they had to develop their own medicine. Isn't that normal?" Her Azure Sovereign Qingdi inheritance had mentioned this, so she naturally understood Western medicine.
Yan Aohan nodded: "It is quite normal."
Zhu Yanyi added: "I just want to know if their so-called Western medicine is the Western medicine I understand. If it is only superficial, I will directly crush their confidence. If they truly understand what Western medicine is, I don't mind helping Western medicine while elevating the status of TCM. True medicine has no regional boundaries."
