Looking at Zhang Jiwei’s face of disbelief, Huang Beishan didn’t want to say anything at first, but after a mont’s thought, explained:
"Old Zhang, you’re not a traditional Chinese dicine doctor and have never been exposed to traditional Chinese dicine knowledge. You have no idea the shock Dr. Lu has brought to those of us practitioners of traditional Chinese dicine, nor do you know what he ans to the traditional Chinese dicine community in Yong City."
Zhang Jiwei looked at him, sowhat silent.
He wanted to say that reaching the director position so quickly might be a bit too fast.
But Lu Xuan was present, and this was indeed an internal matter of traditional Chinese dicine. As a Western dicine doctor, even though he is the dean of the City First Hospital, he is in a high position in the dical community of Yong City, but ddling in traditional Chinese dicine affairs would sowhat overstep his boundaries.
Not only would it offend people, it might also be said that Zhang Jiwei was resting on his laurels.
It seed like Huang Beishan saw through what Zhang Jiwei was thinking, smiled, and said: "Our Traditional Chinese dicine Association is different from your Western dicine. Although we all need to have corresponding abilities, the situation of seniority isn’t as severe as yours. Of course, that also has a lot to do with fewer people in traditional Chinese dicine. After all, once the number increases, the open and secret struggles will naturally increase as well."
Hearing this, Zhang Jiwei said with so feeling: "Sotis, once you enter this profession, you can’t help yourself; if you don’t fight, you beco a discard. In the end, even if you don’t want to fight, you have to fight; even if you don’t want to do sothing, you have to do it. Only when you reach that level can you have a little freedom."
"But are you free now?" Huang Beishan retorted.
Zhang Jiwei was rendered speechless.
Freedom?
If he really were free, he wouldn’t have rushed back to the City First Hospital today.
After a mont of silence, Zhang Jiwei suddenly raised his head: "Sotis, I actually envy you and Old Zhang. Compared to , you are truly free, not caring about others’ opinions, doing whatever you want, wholeheartedly dedicating yourself to the field of traditional Chinese dicine. Honestly, it’s great."
"Actually, you could do it too. It just depends on whether you’re willing to give it up," Huang Beishan laughed.
Give it up?
After struggling for so many years to finally climb to his current position, giving it up is easier said than done.
"Old Huang, if it were you, would you give it up?" Zhang Jiwei asked Huang Beishan the question in return.
"Perhaps, I wouldn’t," Huang Beishan pondered for a while before answering.
In life, it all cos down to fa and fortune.
Very few can escape it; true indifference to fa and fortune is rare indeed.
At least, he, Huang Beishan, couldn’t do it.
One could say he’s slightly better off than Zhang Jiwei.
Huang Beishan didn’t continue the topic but returned to the previous one: "If it weren’t for Old Cui still being young, I would’ve had that guy retire imdiately and have Dr. Lu take on the role of president."
Zhang Jiwei opened his mouth, thinking that Huang Beishan was really crazy.
Skipping over mber and director, directly becoming president, is sothing unprecedented in the history of either the Traditional Chinese dicine Association or the Western dicine Association.
Moreover, Lu Xuan is only in his twenties.
"If you really do that, you’d be putting Dr. Lu in the hot seat."
"Those without ability naturally fear being put in the hot seat, but those with ability are like real gold that doesn’t fear the fire; the more it’s tested, the brighter it shines."
Huang Beishan paid no heed to Zhang Jiwei’s words, instead looking extrely solemn: "To put it bluntly, Dr. Lu’s attainnts in the field of traditional Chinese dicine are the highest among those I’ve seen. Whether it’s traditional Chinese internal dicine or acupuncture, those who can surpass him are few and far between. I even doubt that there’s anyone who can beat him in this field."
Extrely high praise!
Zhang Jiwei couldn’t believe it when he looked at Huang Beishan. It was hard to imagine Huang Beishan uttering such words.
In this vast land with nurous talents, that Huang Beishan would use such words to praise Lu Xuan was sothing Zhang Jiwei never expected.
In the traditional Chinese dicine circle, how many geniuses and prodigies are there, yet none can surpass Lu Xuan?
Lu Xuan is in his twenties; even starting from the womb, he’s been exposed to traditional Chinese dicine for only a little over twenty years.
And in traditional Chinese dicine, there are countless famous doctors imrsed for forty to fifty years. He couldn’t believe none of them could surpass Lu Xuan.
However, despite his doubts, this ti Zhang Jiwei wisely chose not to say anything, nor did he show much expression on his face, opting instead to smile and let it pass.
Whether it’s true or not, it had nothing to do with Zhang Jiwei.
Seeing this, Huang Beishan didn’t intend to say more.
So things need not be spoken so clearly.
Besides, no matter how clear it’s said, Zhang Jiwei wouldn’t understand.
After all, expecting a pure Western dicine doctor to comprehend the profoundness of traditional Chinese dicine is incredibly unrealistic.
Huang Beishan turned his head, intending to inquire Lu Xuan about the Fire God School matters, only to hear Lu Xuan say with a wry smile: "Old Huang, you’re praising too much."
"What’s there to be afraid of?"
Huang Beishan said: "Modesty is good, but too much modesty isn’t right."
Lu Xuan gave an awkward smile.
Huang Beishan stopped at that and thought, saying: "Let’s not talk about this. I followed Old Zhang here, precisely to take this opportunity to consult you about the Fire God School matters."
"I guessed as much."
Lu Xuan’s words made both Huang Beishan and Zhang Jingcai laugh heartily at each other.
After the laughter, they both sat beside Lu Xuan like students, quietly waiting.
And Lu Xuan, after contemplating for a while, said: "The academic thought of the Fire God School, represented by Zheng Qin’an, primarily emphasizes Yang Qi, proficiently using thods of Supporting Yang to treat diseases, and skillfully using large doses of Aconite, dry ginger, and other pungent hot dicines. In this aspect, the Fire God School has accumulated extrely rich experience.
