Chapter 805: A Traitor!
"This is all because you spoiled me," Zhu Yanyi giggled.
Medicine Elder pointed at Zhu Yanyi’s forehead and asked, "Did you visit your older sister and younger brother today?"
"Yes, I did. Brother Yan took me. First Sister and Doumiao are doing well. They are adapting to school life very well." Zhu Yanyi did not hide anything. She was clearly satisfied with the current situation of Zhu Yanli and Zhu Zhibin.
"Your sister and brother are in their own schools. That is good. At least in school, they are safe." Medicine Elder looked at Zhu Yanyi seriously. "Ani, I want you to attend the International Medical Exchange Conference held in Huaxia in a few days." Medicine Elder looked at Zhu Yanyi. From her expression, he knew he had already decided this.
"Am I the only one?" Zhu Yanyi frowned slightly. She was not worried about failing if she went alone, but it seemed inappropriate if she were the only one.
Medicine Elder smiled. "How could it be just you? Your Eldest Senior Brother will lead the team. Your Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Senior Brothers will also go. But I will not participate." A strange dark light flashed in Medicine Elder’s eyes. "I need to prepare for the medical exchange conference in another country next year. The international conference held here this year focuses mainly on medical skills. The one I attend next year involves not just medical skills, but also pharmacology and other medical academic exchanges. So I will not go this year. You six seniors and juniors will go."
Zhu Yanyi nodded. Medicine Elder not going, but the six of them going, showed that this medical exchange conference was unusual. "Grandpa Yao, please don’t hold back half the story, okay? If it were just a simple medical exchange, you wouldn’t send all six of us. Is something going to happen?"
Medicine Elder laughed. "You are so clever." Then he sighed. "Actually, some people in some countries are too arrogant. They need a lesson. Also, Huaxia’s Traditional Chinese Medicine has a heritage of thousands of years, perhaps even longer. Only we Huaxia people understand this. Other countries do not understand, so they do not believe in our Traditional Chinese Medicine. My task for you six is to make the name of Traditional Chinese Medicine known through this international exchange."
Zhu Yanyi swallowed hard. "Grandpa Yao, your ambition is great. Traditional Chinese Medicine declined because it relies on experience, and there are fewer people with such experience now. Are you asking us to attack their strengths with our weaknesses?" Indeed, Zhu Yanyi saw the pros and cons of this medical exchange conference without Medicine Elder explaining.
Since it was an international medical exchange, it would inevitably clash with Western medicine. Currently, Western medicine is fast and effective. Although it has side effects, it has its advantages in some aspects. As the saying goes, flaws do not obscure the jade’s beauty. In people’s minds, as long as their illness heals quickly, side effects are ignored. So even if people know Western medicine cannot fully cure everyone, more and more people trust it. Thus, as one grows, the other shrinks. Fewer people trust Traditional Chinese Medicine. Medicine Elder’s simple sentence was actually a very heavy task. He wanted Zhu Yanyi and the other five to make people trust Traditional Chinese Medicine again through this medical exchange conference.
