Chapter 944: Chapter 944: President Candidates

Yu Jiajie whispered, "Elder Qin is getting old, his health is not very robust, and he cannot manage the affairs of the Medical Association. Today, we’re having a meeting to elect a new president."

"How come you didn’t know?"

Yun Jiao shook her head, "Perhaps because I am a woman, I don’t interact much with the doctors in Xiang City. I really haven’t heard about it."

Yu Jiajie laughed, "Anyway, it’s good that you’re here."

"This way, please."

He guided Yun Jiao to the main seat area.

Yun Jiao saw Elder Qin with his white hair.

Speaking of which, although they were both in Xiang City, Yun Jiao hadn’t seen Elder Qin in a long time. The last time they met was when Elder Qin went to Renxin Hall to plead for Qin Yan, which wasn’t a pleasant memory.

After exchanging pleasantries, Yun Jiao and Yang Ying took their seats.

Then Yu Jiajie hurriedly ran to the front to welcome Doctor Ye.

Doctor Ye was also arranged to sit in the main seat area at the front.

Beside her, Yang Ying curiously asked, "How are the seats arranged? By medical skills or status?"

Yun Jiao was about to say she didn’t know when Yang Ying laughed herself, "Regardless of medical skills or status, I think your seat here is well-deserved."

In the entire hall, the only ones Yu Jiajie went out to welcome were Yun Jiao and Doctor Ye.

Yu Jiajie is Elder Qin’s nephew, assisting him in managing some of the association’s affairs. He also owns a wholesale herb business and a pharmacy. Yun Jiao guessed that with the reelection for president, he had a great chance because he knew many people.

The hall got more crowded, perhaps with about two hundred people, and Yun Jiao was amazed by the number of businesses in Xiang City’s medical field.

She even saw a few Imperial Physicians.

Seeing that most people had arrived, Yu Jiajie took a megaphone and shouted, "Everyone quiet down; we all know why we’re here today."

"I know everyone is busy, finding time for meetings isn’t easy, let’s aim to finish the matter this morning, and after lunch, we can end the event!"

"I won’t waste words, first I’ll say, Elder Qin has nominated several people. I’ll announce the names shortly."

"If anyone wants to nominate themselves for president, come over here to sign up. Once everyone’s registered, we’ll vote."

"Those who want to sign up can come up; I’ll first announce the three nominees chosen by Elder Qin."

"First, Doctor Ye Jintian."

"Second, Doctor Yun Jiao."

"Third is me, Yu Jiajie." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Yun Jiao was momentarily stunned, how come she was included?

At that moment, Elder Qin looked at her, nodding and smiling.

Yun Jiao smiled back at him, appreciating Elder Qin’s magnanimous gesture.

Beside her, Yang Ying excitedly said, "You’re going to be president! This trip wasn’t in vain!"

Yun Jiao looked at her helplessly; Yang Ying seemed to have become freer-spirited, increasingly vivacious, sometimes behaving like a child.

"I’m not president yet, keep your voice down. Besides, I don’t want to be president."

Up front, Yu Jiajie called out, "Anyone signing up?"

"Why is no one coming up to sign up?"

Someone from the crowd replied, "We know our limits, not gonna stir things up."

The whole hall burst into laughter.

After a while, two people went up to sign up; Yun Jiao noticed they were quite senior, probably respected figures.

Yu Jiajie waited a bit longer, "Are there any more sign-ups? Otherwise, we’ll start!"

He called out twice, but no one else came up.

Yu Jiajie then said, "Let’s start voting."
