In the hotel room.
Since returning to the room, Fang Qiu and Zhang Zhiming had been waiting anxiously.
More than an hour later.
“Beep, beep, beep……”
Zhang Zhiming’s mobile phone in his trouser pocket suddenly rang.
“Swoosh!”
Zhang Zhiming immediately took out his mobile phone and gazed at the screen. The person making this call was none other than the secretary-general!
“Hiss.”
Looking at Fang Qiu and then at the ringing phone, Zhang Zhiming took a deep breath and secretly prayed that he would receive the good news. At the same time, he pressed the answer button and said, “Hello.”
“Haha.”
Laughter came from the other end of the line. “Is it the representative of Huaxia, Zhang Zhiming?”
“Yes, this is Zhang Zhiming.”
Zhang Zhiming nodded at once.
“Good, that’s great.”
From the other end of the phone came the voice of the secretary-general. “Huaxia is indeed a mysterious ancient country in the East and has a very powerful medical science. We have to thank Huaxia for its contribution to the medical conference, especially Fang Qiu. He has made great contributions to medical science around the world. First of all, he has proven the existence of Qi. Although it has not been widely used in the medical community yet, the effect of Qi is indisputable.”
“Yes, yes, yes……”
Zhang Zhiming nodded repeatedly in agreement.
On the other end of the line, the secretary-general was still talking.
“Traditional medicine, which has been passed down since ancient times, is great science. Modern medicine has to learn from traditional medicine, especially traditional Chinese Medicine. Among all kinds of traditional medicine, traditional Chinese Medicine is the only one that was highly systematized and experientially verified. I also know some Chinese Medicine doctors. They are all awesome. So, the mysterious Chinese Medicine has impressed me a lot.”
At this point, the secretary-general swiftly veered the conversation in another direction. He added, “Especially tonight, as the only one who was invited to attend the medical exchange conference, Dr. Fang Qiu from Huaxia has made me feel the magic of traditional Chinese Medicine. In just a few minutes, he cured a patient at the third stage of diabetes. This Dr. Fang Qiu really knows his stuff.”
“Yes, I also think that Doctor Fang Qiu is good. He is the brightest star in the Chinese Medicine community nowadays,” Zhang Zhiming echoed.
“Well,” the secretary-general continued, “diabetes is a very tricky illness in the world. Even today, it can only be contained but not cured. You can imagine how difficult it is to treat diabetes. But I never knew that traditional Chinese Medicine can treat it and even completely cure it. It’s absolutely amazing.”
“Yes, as a Huaxia person, I am proud of Chinese Medicine.”
Zhang Zhiming played along.
“I say it all the time that Huaxia is the must-have milestone for the world’s medical community. It is an indispensable miracle in the medical community……”
The secretary-general continued the big talk.
Zhang Zhiming could only keep rumbling with him.
Although Zhang Zhiming didn’t press the loudspeaker button, with Fang Qiu’s hearing, it was easy for him to hear every word of their conversation.
“What the f*ck is he talking about!”
Listening to them beating around the bush, Fang Qiu couldn’t help but privately pay respects to them. “They are discussing a matter but never coming to the point. These two are surely not ordinary people.”
At this moment, Zhang Zhiming looked at Fang Qiu in the midst of answering the phone.
Fang Qiu quickly gave him a look, indicating that it was time.
On the other end of the line, the secretary-general was still boasting about traditional medicine.
“Secretary-general,” after the other party finished speaking, Zhang Zhiming took the opportunity and said, “since traditional medicine is so powerful, why don’t we add a theme speech on traditional medicine in this medical conference?”
“Sure.”
The secretary-general immediately nodded and agreed. “This is a good suggestion. Who do you reckon will be the best candidate to give this speech?”
Zhang Zhiming smiled.
There was no need to ask.
The two of them had already known the answer.
“How about Fang Qiu?”
Although both of them already knew the answer, someone still had to say it out loud. Since the secretary-general couldn’t, Zhang Zhiming, the representative of Huaxia, was naturally the one to do it.
“Fang Qiu is a Chinese Medicine doctor in Huaxia, and he is a very good one. Moreover, he just saved Dr. Lorry on the plane and caused a heated discussion in Europe. He should be the most suitable one to give a speech on the topic of traditional medicine,” Zhang Zhiming said.
“Hum,” the secretary-general deliberated for a moment and said, “I’m with you on this matter, but we still need to have a meeting tomorrow morning before adopting your suggestion.”
“Okay.”
Zhang Zhiming quickly nodded and said, “Then, I’ll take Fang Qiu to see you tomorrow afternoon. By the way, I’ll briefly explain the outline of his speech.”
“Okay, but it’s not certain yet,” said the secretary-general with a grin.
At that remark, Zhang Zhiming also laughed.
With a tacit smile, the two of them hung up at the same time.
“Phew……”
Hanging up the phone, Zhang Zhiming immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he looked at Fang Qiu and said, “Deal!”
“I admire you.”
Fang Qiu immediately gave a thumbs-up to Zhang Zhiming with a beam and said, “You’ve talked for half an hour.”
“There’s nothing we can do about it.”
Zhang Zhiming gave a wry smile and said, “Everyone in our field has this fear. In case our phones are bugged or under surveillance, we can only beat about the bush. If we are too straightforward, once the record of our conversation is released, it will be a great scandal. Although our job makes us look nice, for people in our positions, the more just and honest we appear, the more hypocritical we actually are. We just use the light to cover up our hypocrisy. The more hypocritical we are, the greater honest we need to show for.”
“I think I’ve just picked up another move,” Fang Qiu answered jokingly.
The next morning.
As it was planned out, also for the sake of a legitimate excuse, the secretary-general held an internal meeting for the medical conference.
In the meeting, in order to deepen everyone’s recognition of traditional medicine, the secretary-general deliberately emphasized the topic of traditional medicine and then directly proposed to have a speech session focused specifically on traditional medicine……
Without a doubt, owing to his earlier oblique references, almost everyone concurred with the proposal of this theme speech immediately.
Then, they began to discuss the candidate to make this speech.
Everyone at the meeting had their own nominees.
And the person who nominated Fang Qiu as the speaker was precisely the secretary-general!
Originally, the competition was quite fierce.
Moreover, because Fang Qiu was a Chinese Medicine doctor, no one was eager to vote for Fang Qiu. However, in the heated discussion, the secretary-general found faults on every other nominee and directly eliminated them. In the end, although no one wanted to choose Fang Qiu, after careful consideration, there was no other eligible candidate except for Fang Qiu. What was more, Fang Qiu had just saved Dr. Lorry with traditional Chinese Medicine.
Therefore, after cautious consideration, they finally selected Fang Qiu as the speaker.
The meeting ended.
In the afternoon.
A notice was issued on the official website of the medical conference.
It said that in the medical conference, a speech themed on traditional medicine was added, and the speaker would be Fang Qiu from Huaxia!
Zhang Zhiming, who came to Fang Qiu’s room early, immediately snapped his fingers and said to Fang Qiu, “We made it. Let’s go. It’s time for you to take action. You must not drop the ball this time.”
“Don’t worry,” Fang Qiu answered with a smile.
They left the hotel.
Fang Qiu got on Zhang Zhiming’s car, heading to the headquarters of the WHO with Zhang Zhiming driving.
It was a very distinctive building.
It was semi-circular.
Its walls were made of glass, which looked particularly dazzling.
In front of the gate.
There was a line of flagpoles, with the national flag of every country in this organization billowing on the top.
Zhang Zhiming and Fang Qiu came to the building and parked the car.
Then, Zhang Zhiming took Fang Qiu into the building and took the elevator directly to the floor on which the secretary-general’s office was located.
“Knock, knock, knock……”
Zhang Zhiming reached out and knocked the door.
“Come in, please.”
The voice of the secretary-general came from the office.
“Secretary-general.”
Zhang Zhiming pushed the door open. As he walked in, he said to the secretary-general with a beam, “I brought Dr. Fang Qiu here to talk about the outline of the speech on traditional medicine.”
“Okay, please take a seat.”
Hearing that, the secretary-general stood up to greet them.
in the office, the three of them prated about some topics related to traditional medicine.
“Although it’s a new topic, you’re very lucky to be able to give this speech at the World Medical Exchange Conference. So you must be well-prepared. You’d better come up with a speech outline tonight,” the secretary-general instructed Fang Qiu.
“No problem,” Fang Qiu answered and nodded promptly.
After that, Fang Qiu also talked more about Chinese Medicine. As the representative of Huaxia, Zhang Zhiming also chimed in at the right time, helping to put some good words for Chinese Medicine.
When it was about time to end this meeting—
“Secretary-general.”
Zhang Zhiming suddenly stood up and said, “You’ve talked a lot with Dr. Fang Qiu about Chinese Medicine. Since Fang Qiu is a Chinese Medicine doctor, it’s better for you to experience it yourself than just hearing about it. In this way, you can also have a deeper understanding of the magic of Chinese Medicine.”
“Well……”
The secretary-general hesitated for a moment, then looked at Fang Qiu and asked, “Dr. Fang Qiu, is it convenient for you?”
Seeing his reaction—
“He’s simply a wily old bird who can certainly win the Oscars.”
With a sigh of admiration in his heart, Fang Qiu hurriedly said, “Sure, with pleasure. It’s my honor to have a chance to show the power of Chinese Medicine, as long as it’s not a disturb for the secretary-general.”
“Since that’s the case, let’s give it a try,” the secretary-general said with a smile.
Fang Qiu didn’t hesitate.
He went straight to him and began the treatment.
Just like when he was treating Feman, Fang Qiu directly activated the pancreatic island with his internal Qi.
After the treatment was done, the three of them chatted for a while longer in the office.
At long last, Fang Qiu and Zhang Zhiming finally took their departure in the lecture of the secretary-general.
They walked out of the WHO building.
Fang Qiu heaved with a deep sigh of relief and said, “It’s really a hard job.”
“Haha.”
Zhang Zhiming laughed out loud.
Just as he was about to say something, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
He took out his mobile phone and had a look.
It was a call from one of his men.
“Hello?”
Zhang Zhiming answered the phone.
“Check out the news. It’s not good.”
An anxious voice came from the other end of the line.
Zhang Zhiming sensed something wrong. He immediately hung up the phone and checked the news on his mobile phone.
With one glance at the screen, Zhang Zhiming’s face changed drastically!
“Inside story of World Medical Exchange Conference— Fang Qiu, a Chinese Medicine doctor, seized advantages on the excuse of performing medical treatment!”
