Chinese medicine: from rural hospitals to top three hospitals in Kyoto

"Director Chen... he actually came in person." Zhuang Qiwen murmured to himself, still feeling like he was dreaming.

Back in the clinic, Zhuang Qiwen couldn't contain his emotions and made a phone call to his old classmate Luo Junchao.

Zhuang Qiwen and Luo Junchao are high school classmates and have known each other for nearly thirty years. They have a deep friendship. Regarding this matter, Luo Junchao accompanied Zhuang Qiwen to the organizing committee to inquire and argued on Zhuang Qiwen's behalf, which shows his loyalty.

You see, Luo Junzhao has already advanced. If he accompanies Zhuang Qiwen to cause trouble, it will have consequences for him. What if Liu Qiming and the others remember Luo Junzhao...?

"Jun Chao, I might... still have a chance."

As soon as the call connected, Zhuang Qiwen couldn't contain his excitement and joy as he spoke to Luo Junchao.

When a person encounters something happy, their first urge and joy is often to share it with someone. Only by sharing it can they feel happier and more real, rather than just dreaming.

Luo Junchao on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Qiwen, what's going on? Did you meet a benefactor?"

"Director Chen Yang came to my clinic today." Zhuang Qiwen tried to keep his tone calm.

"what?!"

Luo Junchao's exclamation almost pierced the microphone: "Chen Yang? Chen Yang from Kyoto International Medical Center? He's come to Heshan County? And he even went to your clinic?"

"Yes, they just left not long ago." Zhuang Qiwen briefly recounted what had happened.

Luo Junchao was incredibly excited on the other end of the phone: "That's fantastic! Qiwen, this is a golden opportunity! Director Chen's personal involvement shows how much he values ​​you! Those clowns like Liu Qiming and Zhao Chen are definitely going to be in trouble this time! Just you wait, see you in Kyoto during the semi-finals!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Qiwen took a deep breath, began organizing medical records, and then started seeing patients.

He knew that Chen Yang's appearance gave him a fair chance to compete, but how far he could go in the end still depended on his own strength. He had to put in 200% effort to stand out in the semi-finals, live up to Chen Yang's expectations, and live up to his own years of perseverance.

......

"Director Chen, where do we go next?"

He Pengjun asked Chen Yang questions while driving.

"Let's go directly to the organizing committee."

Chen Yang said, "We've already met with Zhuang Qiwen, so we should resolve this matter now."

"Won't it arouse suspicion if we just go to the organizing committee like this?" He Pengjun asked.

"Master He, you're overthinking it."

Chen Yang smiled and said, "Who would have thought I would know someone like Zhuang Qiwen?"

"Too."

He Pengjun smiled and said, "You're not from Yunzhou, so it's almost impossible for you to have any connection with Zhuang Qiwen. Not to mention the organizing committee, I couldn't have guessed it before I came."

"As the chief judge and the person in charge of this competition, it's perfectly normal for you to come down and take a look."

Chen Yang smiled and nodded: "That makes sense, so we can just go directly there, no need to sneak around."

Chen Yang arrived yesterday but did not go to the organizing committee. His main purpose was to meet Zhuang Qiwen first, since Zhuang is the youngest doctor on the list of renowned doctors besides Chen Yang and Xun Jiahong.

The two returned from Heshan County at around 1 p.m. and arrived in Hanping City before 3 p.m.

He Pengjun drove directly to the entrance where the organizing committee was located.

The preliminary rounds in each province and city are jointly organized by local TCM associations, TCM colleges and universities, and health departments. The main responsible persons are the health departments and TCM associations.

Therefore, the organizing committee of Hanping City was located in the Yunzhou Provincial Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the hotel where Chen Yang stayed last night was also near the association.

He Pengjun parked his car in a parking space near the entrance and walked inside with Chen Yang.

As expected, I was stopped by the security guard at the entrance.

Basically, any government agency or official institution will require you to ask questions and register when entering or leaving.

The security guard wasn't rude; he just asked Chen Yang and his companion what they did for a living and who they were looking for.

"This is Director Chen Yang from Kyoto International Medical Center, and also the chief judge and person in charge of the 'Yangshen Cup' Medical Competition. Director Chen is here to learn about some things," He Pengjun explained.

"Chen Yang...Director Chen?"

The gatekeeper, who looked to be in his fifties, subconsciously looked at Chen Yang after hearing what He Pengjun said.

Although Chen Yang has a large number of fans and is quite famous, not everyone can recognize him. However, the security guard of the Chinese Medicine Association naturally knew about the "Yangshen Cup" Medical Competition recently and had seen Chen Yang's videos in his spare time. He recognized Chen Yang after just one glance.

"Director Chen, please wait a moment while I make a phone call."

The security guard hurriedly said, and then took out his phone and dialed a number.

About two or three minutes later, several people came out. The leader was a man in his fifties, wearing glasses, and looked very imposing. He was Liu Qiming, the vice president of the Yunzhou Provincial Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a professor at Yunzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the vice president of Yunzhou Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Generally speaking, in official organizations like the Chinese Medicine Association, apart from standing directors, executive vice presidents, and some staff, other vice presidents and even the president do not need to be stationed here permanently.

Many association presidents are renowned TCM experts from various regions who have their own jobs and only attend certain events.

Logically, Liu Qiming shouldn't need to be stationed here permanently. However, recently, due to the "Yangshen Cup" Medical Competition, the Health Department and the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association established the Yunzhou Provincial Competition Organizing Committee, and Liu Qiming is the person in charge.

Upon receiving the call from the gatekeeper, Liu Qiming was taken aback and surprised. He then hurried over with his men without delay.

"Director Chen!"

From afar, Liu Qiming laughed and said, "Why didn't you give me a heads-up before you arrived? I thought my men had mistaken you for someone else."

As they spoke, Liu Qiming approached Chen Yang, extended his hand, and introduced himself: "I am Liu Qiming, the vice president of the Yunzhou Provincial Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine."

"Hello, Professor Liu."

Chen Yang smiled and extended his hand, shaking hands with Liu Qiming as he said, "I've heard of Professor Liu's reputation for a long time. I didn't expect to meet Professor Liu so soon after arriving in Yunzhou."

"Director Chen, you flatter me."

Liu Qiming said with a smile, "Director Chen, please come in."

Although Chen Yang was young, Liu Qiming dared not be negligent. Although Liu Qiming had some feelings for Chen Yang, he would not show them.

After all, Chen Yang's achievements over the past year have been dazzling, and this competition was organized by higher authorities. Chen Yang's fame and status are not to be underestimated.

However, looking at Chen Yang's face, Liu Qiming felt a little sour. After all, he was the senior, while Chen Yang was the junior. Being overshadowed by a junior and having to show respect made Liu Qiming very uncomfortable.

This is actually why seniority is valued in many places and at many times; it's always harder for young people to gain respect.
