Medical Master

Chapter 1337 I Am Not Alone in My Pursuit

“Haw-haw!”

Hearing Holy Doctor Chu gasp on the phone, Xu Miaolin immediately laughed proudly and said, “I’ll become a holy doctor at a much younger age than you. I wonder how you will criticize me for not being serious then!”

“Hah.”

Holy Doctor Chu sneered mercilessly and said with heavy sarcasm, “It’s all thanks to Fang Qiu’s example!”

“Well, I’m lucky to get such a gifted student, haha.”

Xu Miaolin went on boasting shamelessly.

“Lucky?”

Holy Doctor Chu nodded with understanding and said, “You’re about to become a holy doctor. Stay at my place for a few days. Let me instruct you and teach you a lesson in passing.”

Over here…

Xu Miaolin heard him perfectly.

He immediately recalled the scene when Holy Doctor Chu chased him around and wanted to slash him. His heart trembled, and he couldn’t help but shiver. Instantly, he chickened out and said, “Well, I forgot I had something urgent to do. Look, I have to go now. When I have time, I will come back and see you. Wait for me.”

After that, he hastily ended the call.

On the other side of the phone…

Holy Doctor Chu heard the click when Xu Miaolin hung up the phone.

He couldn’t help shaking his head and smiling. After he put down his phone, he sighed with emotion, “Fang Qiu’s rise is of great importance in reviving the Chinese Medicine industry. He must be a blessing from our ancestors to save Chinese Medicine from doom.”

“It’s about time for Luo Jie to go out to work. As a Chinese Medicine practitioner, he must fulfill his duty!”

In the meantime…

Many Chinese Medicine practitioners were analyzing one problem: why no one else could do what Fang Qiu was doing now.

“In the Chinese Medicine industry, there are at least holy doctors. If one comes out to practice medicine, their medical skills will be better than Fang Qiu’s. Among all the people engaged in Chinese Medicine, many people with remarkable medical skills are adequate enough to accomplish the tasks that Fang Qiu has completed. But why is Fang Qiu the only one who is striving for such high ideals?”

“Right. Fang Qiu is a real blessing for the Chinese Medicine industry. The more people join him, the better. Do you guys think so?”

“Why can’t the others stand up to help?”

“By right, every Chinese Medicine practitioner is willing to make arduous efforts to develop Chinese Medicine. If there is any chance, they will never withdraw from advancing.”

“Then why on earth has no one else come forward?”

Many Chinese Medicine practitioners were discussing with doubts.

Not long after…

They drew several conclusions.

Firstly, it was because they were not rich!

For Fang Qiu to accomplish his achievements, large amounts of money were required. There was a lot of evidence to prove it.

At first, he donated 100 million yuan. Then he contributed 3 billion yuan after 1 billion yuan. Before long, he gave away 10 billion yuan.

Except for him…

Who else in the Chinese Medicine industry had so much money?

𝘧𝘳𝑒ℯ𝔀𝘦𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝗹. co𝐦

Moreover…

His reputation!

Fang Qiu had built up an unrivaled reputation, partly because of his generous donations. The enormous amounts of money he donated greatly enhanced his reputation.

The most important thing was…

He had gained tremendous honors.

In the country, he did various miraculous deeds. Internationally, he published papers in world-class journals. Moreover, his impassioned speech at the World Medical Congress presented Chinese Medicine to the world. Besides that, he provided effective treatment for malaria, received a national medal from a foreign country, and so on. He was an outstanding young man with many accomplishments to his credit.

Notably, Fang Qiu’s track record was unblemished. As a person of excellent character, he won the trust of many people, who helped him acquire his current status in the Chinese Medicine industry.

Money and reputation could be easily obtained. In the process of gaining recognition, a person could become rich and famous by seizing the chance. However, there were only a few people who had the rare honor of maintaining their impeccable moral integrity.

In this case…

Of course, the Chinese Medicine practitioners in the Chinese Medicine industry knew they couldn’t do it, so they could only show their support for Fang Qiu.

“Fang Qiu Visited the Chinese Medicine Markets to Combat Against Fake Traditional Chinese Medicine!”

As soon as this new piece of news emerged…

It was soon reposted to the WeChat group of all the leaders of Chinese Medicine companies.

“Cracking down on counterfeit goods?”

“Haha, he chose the road to his doom.”

“Well done! Good job! This time, Fang Qiu must have offended many more people. It will be more difficult for him to survive in the Chinese Medicine industry.”

“This guy is seeking his destruction.”

“Humph, struggling against counterfeits? He has offended not only the wholesalers of medicinal herbs but also many people he might have never thought of. Those shoddy medicinal herbs are the bread and butter of many people. But he aggressively snatched away their livelihood.”

Just as these bosses of pharmaceutical companies were discussing Fang Qiu’s latest action fervently…

“There’s news.”

A boss suddenly spoke up, “I just received the news: Fang Qiu never had the intention to purchase medicinal herbs from those distributing centers of Chinese medicinal herbs. Instead, he has gone directly to buy medicinal herbs from herb farmers. This information is very accurate, and you will soon receive the same news.”

As soon as he shared this information with all the others…

The leaders of these pharmaceutical companies in the WeChat group were even more excited.

...

“Good, have you heard of his recent foolish actions? This guy is digging his grave. Haha.”

“Then let him collect herbs that way. I’m looking forward to seeing him do that.”

“It’s impossible for us to stop him. We have all the large medicine dealers in the country under our control, but these herb farmers are not within our charge. But most farmers have signed supply contracts with medicine dealers. All our pharmaceutical companies, plus organizations and individuals related to those medicine dealers, have occupied at least 95 percent of the market of traditional Chinese medicine. The less than 5 percent of the market may fall into his hands, but Fang Qiu can’t rely on such a small market share to halve the prices within one month.”

“Now, we just need to wait to see how Fang Qiu brings disgrace onto his head. Haha.”

The bosses of the pharmaceutical companies were all smiles.

However…

They didn’t know the truth.

They might have underestimated some herb farmers. Since they had insisted on growing high-quality products, they were on the verge of bankruptcy. This group of farmers could also form a group that was a force to be reckoned with.

Of course…

In this matter, those medicine merchants that sold fake and inferior drugs were the ones who were the most miserable.

These merchants who made money through selling counterfeits also saw Fang Qiu’s new Weibo post. It made them so exasperated that they nearly broke out into curses.

...

They thought they could get themselves out of the difficult situation soon.

To their surprise…

Fang Qiu expressed his intention to check the markets every now and then.

He was messing with them.

They were caught in a thorny dilemma. They didn’t know whether to reopen their stores or not. After all, no one knew when Fang Qiu would mess about with them.

In contrast, those who collected and sold authentic traditional Chinese medicine started gloating over their misfortune.

In their eyes…

Those people who benefitted from the sale of fake drugs were destined to come to grief!

Here…

Fang Qiu was about to return to Beijiang.

As soon as he got on the high-speed train, the cell phone in his trouser pocket rang.

He took it out to have a look.

“Luo Jie?”

Fang Qiu immediately recalled the time they competed against each other. During the first season of the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor, Luo Jie was the only one who could compete with him.

Most notably, Luo Jie was Holy Doctor Chu’s disciple.

“But why is he calling me?”

“Hello?”

Fang Qiu answered the phone.

“Are you Fang Qiu?”

A somewhat familiar voice came to his ears.

“Yes.”

Fang Qiu replied, “I didn’t change my phone number.”

“Great.”

Luo Jie burst out laughing and said, “I haven’t talked to you for a long time. The second season of the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor is over. Perhaps, the show’s staff is planning for the third season now.”

“Yeah. We haven’t seen each other in a long time.”

Fang Qiu said.

“Actually, I’m calling you to recommend myself.”

Luo Jie smiled and said, “I know you need extra help now. My master wanted me to go out and try my best to do something for Chinese Medicine. So, I thought of you. I heard you had recently been cracking down on fake drugs in the Chinese Medicine markets. With your current status, I don’t think you have time to keep an eye on these Chinese Medicine markets. So I’ve even decided what kind of job I can do. If you don’t have time, I’ll help you inspect these domestic Chinese Medicine markets. What do you think?”

“Great.”

What he said was a pleasant surprise for Fang Qiu and he replied, “You are most welcome. I will be expecting you then!”

“Okay, it’s a deal then.”

After he received a satisfactory answer, Luo Jie responded with a smile and hung up the phone.

Luo Jie could help.

That was surely a great weight off Fang Qiu’s mind.

But right at this moment…

“Beep, beep, beep…”

His cell phone rang again.

He picked it up but did not recognize the number.

“Hello?”

Fang Qiu answered the phone curiously.

“Are you Fang Qiu?”

Fang Qiu heard another familiar voice.

“You are Gu Shaoyu?”

Fang Qiu asked.

“You still remember me?”

A chuckle was sounded. “I heard Luo Jie got a job from you. Then, I also want to try my luck. Is there any suitable job for me?”

“Sure. Of course, there is.”

Fang Qiu immediately nodded and said, “That’s exactly what I want.”

“I’m not the only one. There are a few more people, but I won’t tell you who they are in advance. The employment relationship between us has been settled. I’ll leave you alone here so you can answer more calls.”

Gu Shaoyu said seriously and ended the call.

A minute later…

Fang Qiu’s cell phone rang again.

This time, it was still an unfamiliar number.

When the phone was connected, Fang Qiu found it was a call from a beauty, Leng Wenzhuo.

Soon after…

Li Sanxiao, Lin Dan, Wang Shijie, Chen Ziju, and Yang Chenxiang also called him, one after another.

Fang Qiu did not expect all the top ten contestants in the first season of the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor to call him. They offered to share all kinds of things.

Fang Qiu expressed his gratitude to every one of them.

In his heart, he was greatly moved by them.

“I am not alone in my pursuit!”

Fang Qiu sighed with emotion and smiled.

It was true that he could not do everything by himself.

There should be people watching these clinics. In the future, more helpers should keep an eye on those cultivation bases nationwide for indigenous medicinal herbs. Besides, some people would be expected to take charge of various processes like manufacturing medicine, collecting herbs, examining herbs, etc.

Moreover, what he needed were elites in the Chinese Medicine industry.

Knowing these people had come forward to help, Fang Qiu felt contented and happy. In the meantime, he felt very relieved.

After Fang Qiu answered all the calls…

He immediately called He Xue.

“Hello?”

He Xue answered the phone.

“Please find some time and help me with something.”

Fang Qiu said directly, “Some friends offered to help me. All of them are experts in Chinese Medicine and were the top ten contestants in the first season of the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor. Now we are in urgent need of these elites. I have already discussed it with them. They will go straight to you when the time comes. After you meet them, you can make arrangements for them.

“Okay, no problem.”

He Xue replied.

“How’s it going with your work?”

Fang Qiu asked one more question.

“We have signed the contracts with almost all the herb farmers that have contacted us. Beyond that, we have checked the quality of their herbs. Their products are of high quality. But all their herbs can only support our Foundation for two months. I don’t know what to do when we run out of herbs.”

He Xue said.
