I Can Hear the Heart's Voice of Traditional Chinese Medicine-Chapter 347 - 151: Dean Zhang, Don’t Listen—This Isn’t Something You Can Learn

Chapter 347: Chapter 151: Dean Zhang, Don’t Listen—This Isn’t Something You Can Learn

Looking at Zhang Jiwei’s face of disbelief, Huang Beishan didn’t want to say anything at first, but after a moment’s thought, explained:

"Old Zhang, you’re not a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and have never been exposed to traditional Chinese medicine knowledge. You have no idea the shock Dr. Lu has brought to those of us practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine, nor do you know what he means to the traditional Chinese medicine community in Yong City."

Zhang Jiwei looked at him, somewhat 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 medicine. As a Western medicine doctor, even though he is the dean of the City First Hospital, he is in a high position in the medical community of Yong City, but meddling in traditional Chinese medicine affairs would somewhat overstep his boundaries.

Not only would it offend people, it might also be said that Zhang Jiwei was resting on his laurels.

It seemed like Huang Beishan saw through what Zhang Jiwei was thinking, smiled, and said: "Our Traditional Chinese Medicine Association is different from your Western medicine. 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 medicine. After all, once the number increases, the open and secret struggles will naturally increase as well."

Hearing this, Zhang Jiwei said with some feeling: "Sometimes, once you enter this profession, you can’t help yourself; if you don’t fight, you become 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 something, 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 moment of silence, Zhang Jiwei suddenly raised his head: "Sometimes, I actually envy you and Old Zhang. Compared to me, you are truly free, not caring about others’ opinions, doing whatever you want, wholeheartedly dedicating yourself to the field of traditional Chinese medicine. 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 comes down to fame and fortune.

Very few can escape it; true indifference to fame 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 immediately and have Dr. Lu take on the role of president."

Zhang Jiwei opened his mouth, thinking that Huang Beishan was really crazy.

Skipping over member and director, directly becoming president, is something unprecedented in the history of either the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association or the Western Medicine Association.

Moreover, Lu Xuan is only in his twenties.

"If you really do that, you’d be putting Dr. Lu in the hot seat." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"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 extremely solemn: "To put it bluntly, Dr. Lu’s attainments in the field of traditional Chinese medicine are the highest among those I’ve seen. Whether it’s traditional Chinese internal medicine 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."

Extremely 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 numerous talents, that Huang Beishan would use such words to praise Lu Xuan was something Zhang Jiwei never expected.

In the traditional Chinese medicine 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 medicine for only a little over twenty years.

And in traditional Chinese medicine, there are countless famous doctors immersed for forty to fifty years. He couldn’t believe none of them could surpass Lu Xuan.

However, despite his doubts, this time 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.

Some 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 medicine doctor to comprehend the profoundness of traditional Chinese medicine 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 me 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 methods of Supporting Yang to treat diseases, and skillfully using large doses of Aconite, dry ginger, and other pungent hot medicines. In this aspect, the Fire God School has accumulated extremely rich experience.
