Chapter 723 To Attack the Reputable Ones with Virtue!

“Attack the reputable ones with virtue and fight the virtuous ones with benevolence.”

Looking at Xu Miaolin, who had shock written all over his face, Fang Qiu slowly said, “Being reputable and virtuous is my capital, but of course, it’s my weak point as well. The best way to attack me is to target me from the perspective of virtue and benevolence.”

Xu Miaolin cracked a smile.

While smiling, he handed Fang Qiu a cup of hot tea and said, “Boy, you’re sagacious.”

Fang Qiu wore a simple smile.

“As my fame grew day by day and my medical skills were able to cure terminal diseases, I knew there would be a scene where people would kneel down before me in public and beg for help.”

After taking a sip of tea, Fang Qiu continued, “The blame shouldn’t be laid on those who begged me to cure them, because they had difficulties. They were afraid that I wouldn’t help them, and of course, they also had the idea of getting free medical treatments. But as doctors, we did nothing wrong. I’ll do my best to save them if there’s a cure and try not to charge the impoverished ones. Facing genuine people who are in real trouble, I would still like to help them with all my heart even if I do not accept any money from them.

“However, is everyone who kneels down in public begging doctors for help in real trouble? Could someone be pulling the strings?

“I’ve envisioned this scene before.

“And now it’s happening.”

Speaking of this, Fang Qiu laughed bitterly and added, “Of course, it’s unavoidable, and there’s nothing we can do. As long as there’s someone who begs me for help like this, millions of others will follow suit. By then, shall I treat them or not?”

Xu Miaolin, who was sitting opposite, listened carefully but said nothing. He knew that Fang Qiu had not finished.

“In that case, even if I’ve cured 10,000 people, the reputation and benevolence I, a Chinese Medicine practitioner, have accumulated from curing 10,000 people, will be shattered in an instant if I fail to treat one person due to something of the utmost importance one day. I’ll be ruined too.

“If I fail to cure one person, I’ll be reduced to a murderer even if I’ve cured 10,000 people!”

Xu Miaolin nodded in agreement.

That was indeed the reality.

One mistake, no matter how well you had done, would ruin you entirely.

As a result, many people in this world had to be extremely careful with every step they took.

This was true of ordinary people, not to mention Fang Qiu, a man of virtue and fame.

“If this is used by someone who wants to harm me,” Fang Qiu continued, pursing his lips and sighing, “it’s an inevitable and overt scheme for me. It’s attacking the reputable ones with virtue and fighting the virtuous ones with benevolence!”

After that, he stopped, picked up the tea that Xu Miaolin had refilled for him, and took a swig.

“That’s why I said you were going to be killed by the word ‘Doctor’.”

Xu Miaolin looked at Fang Qiu and said with a faint smile, “I didn’t expect you to have thought of all these things.”

“Thank you for shielding me from slanderous remarks before.”

Fang Qiu bowed to Xu Miaolin gratefully and then said, “You offered to charge for medical treatments, which took a lot of pressure off me.”

“Hehe.”

Xu Miaolin laughed complacently and said, “It’s no big deal for a great guy like me.”

Fang Qiu shook his head and smiled.

“You’re right.”

Xu Miaolin stopped laughing, and his face grew solemn. “The matter is over for the time being, but there’ll be more similar things in the future. How are you going to avoid the countless people coming to the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine kneeling down to seek medical treatments?” he asked, looking at Fang Qiu.

“I’m not omnipotent.”

Fang Qiu frowned and said, “Ten people like me cannot cure all the fatal illnesses in this world, let alone I alone. Only with the emergence of more traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners with good medical skills can we fundamentally solve this problem.

“However, there’s only one way to avoid the risks and eliminate hidden dangers that I’ll face later, making it impossible for those who want to harm me to use this method against me, and it is from you that I learned it.”

“Oh?”

Xu Miaolin asked, smiling, “What’s it?”

“It’s simple.”

Fang Qiu opened his mouth and said, “I’m going to follow your example and sign up with a hospital.

“After I sign up with the hospital, I’ll be a member of it, and anyone who wants to get medical services from me has to go to the hospital. It not only prevents people from coming down on their knees to seek medical treatments but also helps them go to the hospital to see a doctor. After all, the hospital is a place for seeing patients and the school is a place for learning. In this way, both the school and I are under protection and away from all the trouble.”

“Yes.”

Xu Miaolin nodded with a smile and said, “Don’t sign up with the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine. The Municipal Chinese Medicine Hospital is not bad.”

“All right.”

Fang Qiu nodded and said, “Nonetheless, I’m only going to provide medical services once a month.”

“No problem.”

Xu Miaolin nodded at once. “But there’ll be a hidden danger which is more serious than this one the first time you see a patient. Have you decided?”

Fang Qiu nodded heavily. “I’ve made up my mind.”

Xu Miaolin said, “Okay!”

Then the two continued to drink tea and chat.

A treacherous thing was quietly dissolved in the conversation between the two.

With the hospital as the shield, it no longer worked for the sick to kneel at the door for help.

Sick?

Register in the hospital!

Why must you kneel by the door?

No money?

Didn’t our country provide medical insurance? Why not raise money? Why did you have to kneel by the door?’

Xu Miaolin drove Fang Qiu away after a pot of tea was finished.

At this moment, those who crowded around the Chinese Medicine Hospital to join in the fun and look for Fang Qiu had already dispersed.

However, to avoid causing a stir, Xu Miaolin and Fang Qiu went into the hospital through the back door.

Back at the Chinese Medicine Hospital, Xu Miaolin and Fang Qiu went straight to the director’s office.

“Knock, knock, knock…”

Xu Miaolin knocked on the door.

“Come in please.”

A kind voice sounded.

Xu Miaolin pushed open the door and entered.

What came into his sight was a thin, grey-haired, and sprightly looking middle-aged man.

The man was Zhang Qishun, Director of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine Hospital.

“Director Zhang.”

Xu Miaolin greeted him.

“It turns out to be you, Xu.”

Zhang Qishun looked up at Xu Miaolin and then stood up with a smile.

However, as soon as he got up, he saw Fang Qiu behind Xu Miaolin.

“Fang Qiu.”

Zhang Qishun called Fang Qiu as he fixed his eyes on him. Then he laughed and said, “Well done! I’m relieved to learn that there’s someone promoting Chinese Medicine.”

“Director Zhang.”

Fang Qiu bowed to Zhang Qishun respectfully.

“Good job.”

Walking to the tea table in the office, Zhang Qishun said, “Come here. Please have a seat.”

Xu Miaolin and Fang Qiu walked over and sat down.

“Not bad.”

Zhang Qishun fixed his gaze on Fang Qiu, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him. He said, “It’s rare for a genius to appear in the Chinese Medicine field. Xu Miaolin first showed up, and then there came Fang Qiu. You two, the teacher and the student, made the transition from the old generation to the young one a reality. The future development of Chinese Medicine depends on you.”

Xu Miaolin said, “Director Zhang, I didn’t bring Fang Qiu here today to hear you praise us.”

“Anything serious?” Zhang Qishun asked.

“Yes.”

Xu Miaolin nodded.

“Well, let’s get down to business.”

Zhang Qishun nodded with a smile and asked, “Go ahead. What’s the matter?”

“Fang Qiu has the idea of signing up with our hospital,” Xu Miaolin said straightforwardly.

“What?” Zhang Qishun quickly pricked up his ears and asked, as if he thought he had misheard.

“I said Fang Qiu wanted to sign up with our hospital.”

Xu Miaolin repeated.

“Okay.”

Zhang Qishun immediately got up, walked to the desk, picked up the phone on it, dialed a number, and said, “Draft an agreement for me right away. All the terms are reserved. You didn’t hear me wrong! It’s an agreement without any terms!”

Both Xu Miaolin and Fang Qiu were dumbfounded.

It didn’t occur to them that Director Zhang Qishun would be so straightforward.

He asked someone to draft the agreement without even listening to their terms.

“Haha.”

After the phone call, Director Zhang Qishun walked toward them with hearty laughter and said delightedly, “Let’s sign it today.”

“Director, we don’t need to be in such a rush, do we?”

Xu Miaolin gave a wry smile.

Director Zhang Qishun wasn’t so excited when he signed the agreement.

“Am I in a rush?”

Zhang Qishun was startled and continued, “No, I don’t think so.”

The wry smile on Xu Miaolin’s face deepened.

“It’s done.”

Walking back to the tea table and sitting down, Director Zhang Qishun looked at Fang Qiu and said gaily, “The agreement will be delivered soon. As you’ve heard, the terms of the agreement are reserved. You can ask for anything, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.”

“Director Zhang, in fact, I don’t have many requirements.”

Fang Qiu responded, “Nonetheless, I’m still in college and have very little time on weekdays. In addition, it’s very likely that my current identity will have a bad impact on the hospital. Hence, I can only come to the hospital once a month.”

“No problem.”

Zhang Qishun waved his hand and said, “You can come to the hospital once a year, not to mention once a month. Everything will be okay as long as you sign up with our hospital!”

For Zhang Qishun and the Chinese Medicine Hospital, what mattered was Fang Qiu’s reputation instead of his medical skills.

The University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine had become a top university among all the Chinese Medicine universities because of Fang Qiu’s presence. It could be imagined how influential Fang Qiu was.

It would be enough as long as he could keep Fang Qiu in the hospital!

Soon, at Zhang Qishun’s urging, a staff member came with the agreement.

After adding exclusive terms to the blank space in the agreement, Fang Qiu formally signed the agreement.

“I’ll leave the blank space in this agreement for you. Tell me whenever you have any idea. Any proper terms can be added directly to the agreement and will be valid forever.”

Director Zhang Qishun was overjoyed as he got the agreement Fang Qiu had signed.

“Thank you, Director.”

Fang Qiu expressed his gratitude.

“Beep, beep, beep…”

The phone in Fang Qiu’s trouser pocket suddenly rang at this point.

Fang Qiu thought it was Li Ji who called him to ask for swords, but when he took out his mobile phone, he found that it was from Zhao Shanlin.

“Hello?”

Fang Qiu answered the phone and said, “Mr. Zhao.”

“Yes.”

Zhao Shanlin made a response and then said in a happy tone, “Chairman Fang, I have a piece of good news for you. I’ve accomplished my work here and successfully cultivated Desert Cistanche. Mass production is achievable now!”

“Really?”

It gave Fang Qiu a big thrill.

It was hard to say what would happen in this world.

What a coincidence that such a piece of good news should come at this critical juncture.

Fang Qiu had a plan in mind as he heard the news.

A great opportunity to advertise was awaiting him!
