Chapter 149 Wait and See
Looking at Old Man Yu's flattering look, Wang Deming couldn't help but think of a movie scene and dialogue in his mind: He looks like a dog.
Especially with the small mustache under his nose, it is even more disgusting. If he were to be thrown among a group of ordinary people, you wouldn’t even be able to tell that he is Chinese!

Wang Deming unconsciously thought of a video he had watched in his previous life, a photo of a deputy editor-in-chief of a daily newspaper, who also had a mustache.
Are the higher-ups really completely unprepared?
Or is it because the Japanese island has been the largest island in China since ancient times?

There is nothing we can do except shouting slogans in short videos.
Old Man Yu announced loudly as if he was announcing an imperial decree: "The leaders of the Ministry of Health have decided to use the antifreeze cream developed by your Chinese medicine practitioners."

"And prepare to transport it to the front line of the Korean battlefield as soon as possible!"

No one in the room said anything, just staring at him coldly. The scene was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Facing the reactions and the cold atmosphere of the Chinese Medicine Association, Old Man Yu smiled awkwardly and said, "You know, in order to transport the antifreeze cream, the leaders racked their brains and took up a lot of precious transportation capacity!"

Still no one paid attention to him. Old Man Yu was very embarrassed and had to look at a young man next to him who was wearing glasses, a gray khaki Zhongshan suit, and two pens on his chest.

The young man spoke, and said in a gentle voice: "Gentlemen, I am the secretary of Leader He. Leader He almost did not sleep last night. After the report from the State Council, he organized a meeting with comrades to discuss various matters related to preventing the US imperialists' germ warfare."

"But early this morning, he personally asked the gentlemen whether the antifreeze cream they brought to the Ministry of Health had been tested?"

"After receiving a positive report from the comrades in the Defense Department, we were immediately arranged to come."

"That's right!" As soon as the young secretary finished speaking, Old Man Yu jumped out to sing his praises, "Leaders He and Wang didn't sleep all night!"

"After work this morning, the first thing I did was to show my concern for the hard work of our colleagues in traditional Chinese medicine."

Old Man Yu looked at Kong Bohua and Xiao Longyou in the crowd and persuaded them, "Mr. Bohua, Mr. Longyou, you two are seniors in the medical field. Why don't you ask Secretary Huang to take the antifreeze cream away?"

Kong Bohua and Xiao Longyou ignored Old Man Yu. Kong Bohua looked at the young man Huang who claimed to be the leader's secretary and said slowly, "It's a good thing that the antifreeze cream made by our traditional Chinese medicine can be recognized by the leaders."

"But." Then he changed the subject, "Is it because of something you heard?"

"This..." Huang, who was indeed a secretary to a leader, was slightly stunned, then his eyes rolled slightly and he quickly replied, "Old sir, I think you must have misunderstood."

"It must be because many Chinese medicine doctors are just shoddy, cheating people out of money and failing to cure diseases."

"You may not know that health departments in various places have received many reports from the public about quack doctors harming people."

Kong Bohua looked Huang up and down for a while and said, "Then let's wait and see!"

"I, Long You, Jin Mo and other old men were able to go to Nanjing to file a petition 20 years ago. We can also file a petition in Beijing 20 years later!"

After saying that, he turned around and told Zhao Bingnan: "Bingnan, take Secretary Huang to move the antifreeze cream."

"Okay!" "Everyone, please."

Young man Huang moved his lips slightly, wanting to continue to explain, but Zhao Bingnan had already extended his hand as if to ask them to leave. He could only nod slightly to Kong Bohua and others in the room, then turned and walked out.

Zhao Bingnan came back soon, and Kong Bohua asked, "Have they all moved away?"

Zhao Bingnan nodded, "Yes, there is a car parked at the gate."

Kong Bohua waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about them." Then he sighed deeply and said to everyone, "We still have to save our dignity."

"But if this continues this year!"

He waved to Zhao Bingnan, Guan Youbo and others, "Come, tell me and Long You about the progress of your current compilation of Chinese medicine literature."

After listening to everyone's explanation, Kong Bohua stroked his beard, nodded with satisfaction, and concluded: "Zhongjing's laws and teachings are that there are prescriptions outside the law and there are laws outside the prescriptions; although the four great doctors of the Jin and Yuan dynasties each formed their own schools, they all supported Zhongjing, and later generations such as Ye Tianshi, Wang Mengying, and Wu Jutong also supported Zhongjing."

Before leaving, he patted Wang Deming on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Those who aspire to be doctors should first read the Neijing and then gradually comprehend its meaning. When reading medical theories, one must adopt an objective attitude of seeking truth from facts, master the method of "taking the good and discarding the bad, discarding the dross and retaining the good", and avoid "sticking to the old ways" or "quoting out of context".

Wang Deming accepted the instruction respectfully and said, "Yes!"

Kong Bohua took out a stack of papers from his sleeve and handed them to Wang Deming, explaining: "These are the prescriptions that we old men compiled for making Chinese patent medicines: for gastric ulcers, high blood pressure, and neurasthenia. I heard from Shuping that you have opened a Chinese medicine factory. This is great!"

"A doctor cannot live without medicine. Without good medicine, how can there be good doctors?"

Then he sighed and instructed, "Also, don't stop using the antifreeze cream. Send it to the Ministry of Culture when it's done."

After handing the prescription to Wang Deming and patting the back of his hand, the two old gentlemen, Kong Bohua and Xiao Longyou, got on the tricycle at the gate of the courtyard.

He waved to the crowd and gradually disappeared into the alley.
Zhao Bingnan and Guan Youbo looked at the Chinese Medicine Association members who were still in low spirits and encouraged them, "Didn't Master Kong express his stance?!"

"We have to cheer up too! Hurry up and continue to call for help, and send gasoline and concentrated sulfuric acid! And to the comrades who worked hard yesterday, let's continue to make antifreeze cream!"

On the other side, after Yu Yunxiu and Secretary Huang returned to the Ministry of Health, Secretary Huang reported Kong Bohua's attitude to Leader He.

"That's unreasonable!"

"Bang!" He took out the pistol from his waist and smashed it on the table!
