Chapter 820 - Compete over the National Healer’s Leader

Chapter 820 - Compete over the National Healer’s Leader

After half a year of development on the New Qihuang mobile application, it was officially online. Due to the rewards issued by the Qihuang Charity Funds previously, it had attracted the attention of many physicians. Hence, it became a hot topic and was known as a necessary tool by physicians, much like the worth of the DiDi application for private drivers.

Not only the physicians of the Three Flavour Hall could use it, but physicians of the TCM Alliance could also use the application.

With a location system added to the software, the doctors and patients could match according to their location, which resolved many problems.

Firstly, pharmacies were privately owned in the past, and they were all remotely located. So it was troublesome for patients to look for physicians. But right now, they only had to download the application to find pharmacies near them.

Secondly, TCM usually provides healthcare services by focusing on preventing illnesses. Many patients wouldn’t visit the physicians unless something happened to them. But if they had any concerns, they could resolve this issue through the application. Through it, consultations were completely free, and you could tip the physicians if you want.

Thirdly, there was a high range of elderly among the customers of TCM, while a mobile application was more modernized, fitting the mindset of the younger generation. Hence, it could slowly change the mind of people and allow more younger generations to know about TCM. This was also why Su Tao wanted to create the application.

In order to advertise the application alone, Su Tao had spent a total of ¥30,000,000, buying advertisement slots on a popular variety program in Xiangnan Television.

The Three Flavour International no longer lacks money. They had already made up for the money they spent on the fashion show. Along with the Three Flavour International’s brand growing more famous among the western countries, and their seasonal clothes were extremely popular. Even the profits from their luxury products were shocking.

With money, everything can be easily done. Hence, the Three Flavour International was simply rich.

Su Tao received a call from Yue Zun and was informed that the National Healer had a conference at the end of the month to select the next leader for the team.

There were a total of 108 National Healers, and the entire team had to be organized to operate normally.

Yu Youqing was the current leader, but he was getting on his age, and he could no longer up to the task. Hence, he had to abdicate his position for the next generation.

So this conference might seem to be a regular conference, but it was actually to select the next leader for the team. It might be insignificant to young men like Su Tao, but it meant greatly for someone like Yue Zun.

Regardless of Yue Zun’s medical skills or qualifications, he was completely suitable to take up the position.

Hence, Yue Zun’s objective was simple. He wanted Su Tao to be around to back him up.

“Martial Uncle, you have my congratulations in advance! When you become the leader, you have to take care of me!” Su Tao smiled.

“Stinking brat, you dare to laugh at me?! There are many candidates this time, and I’m not that confident.” Yue Zun smiled as he went on, “All the National Healer will be present for this conference, so you have to be around and give your recommendation. Furthermore, there’s no harm for you to expand your contacts.”

Su Tao might be a member of the National Healer Team, but there was a limit to his contacts because almost everyone held their position part-time, and all of them have their own matters to be concerned with. In addition to the fact that Su Tao had just entered the National Healer Team, his contacts were somewhat limited.

With the Three Flavour Medicine, Su Tao will soon had to forge his sales network the moment his products were ready. Hence, that was where the National Healer Team came into the picture. Many National Healers had a close connection with hospitals, and they were precious resources.

“Alright, I’ll be there on time and place my vote.” Su Tao smiled. Evidently, he wouldn’t give up on this opportunity.

Yue Zun still went with reminding Su Tao several times that he had to participate in the conference. After all, Su Tao’s presence would mean another vote. With Su Tao’s relationship with Yue Zun, he had directly expressed his stance of supporting the latter.

After a brief chat, Yue Zun hung the call before he smiled bitterly, “Stinking brat!”

Yue Zun admired Su Tao’s ability, and he was assured that Su Tao would become a pillar in the National Healer Team. The reason why Yue Zun gave a call to Su Tao was partly to assure Su Tao’s vote and build up the relationship between Su Tao and the other National Healers.

After all, a talent like Su Tao had to be nurtured well or it would be too much of a waste.

While Yue Zun was drinking tea before his desk, Yu Youqing knocked on the door and came in. When Yue Zun saw Yu Youqing, he immediately stood up and smiled, “What brings you here?”

“I came to talk with you when I knew you were here.” Yu Youqing smiled.

Yue Zun was ten-odd years younger than him, so Yu Youqing had been treating Yue Zun as a junior.

As Yue Zun poured a cup of tea for Yu Youqing, the latter asked, “How’s your preparation work?”

“I’m actually not prepared for it at all. At this moment, I could only keep calm and speak a few words at that time.” Yue Zun smiled.

Knitting his brows, Yu Youqing sighed gently, “I’m actually here today to give you a leak…”

Yue Zun knows that he might have a decent relationship with Yu Youqing, but the latter must have something to be here as he smiled, “What is it about?”

“I know that you’ve been passionate about the National Healer Team, but the responsibility of this post is too great, and it’s also significant. Furthermore, our National Healer Team actually doesn’t possess the authority to decide.” Yu Youqing glanced at Yue Zun. With those words, he believed that Yue Zun could figure out the meaning behind his words.

As a smart person, Yue Zun naturally knew what Yu Youqing was talking about as he smiled, “Thank you for your reminder!”

Yu Youqing then left after drinking half of the tea.

After Yue Zun sent him off, he cursed inwardly that Yu Youqing was a cunning fox.

Yu Youqing was a fox, and he might seem to be giving his reminder, but he was actually giving a warning to Yue Zun not to compete for the position because it had already been decided. As for the candidates, they were just to put on a show.

Then again, if Yue Zun kept a good attitude, he might become a vice-leader.

However, there was a great difference between a vice-leader and leader. A vice-leader was practically a display, and they don’t hold much authority.

Yue Zun gave himself a mocking smile. As someone who had been here for years, how would he not know about the matters within?

The National Healer Team might seem impartial on the appearance, but it was already rotten to the core. Yue Zun has been wanting to change this, but there was nothing he could do about it without any authority.

He initially intended to make use of this opportunity to take a step further, but Yu Youqing’s words were practically akin to a bucket of water pouring down on his head.

Sighing deeply, Yue Zun’s gaze was soon replaced with determination. Even if Yu Youqing had given him a warning, he still did not want to submit and fight for it.

Not long after Yu Youqing returned to his office, a middle-aged man knocked on the door and came in as Yu Youqing smiled, “Little Shao, sit!”

“Yes, teacher!” Shao Wentao replied as he was Yu Youqing’s disciple.

Back then when Yu Youqing was the vice-president of Xiehe Hospital, Shao Wentao was under him, and the two of them had a good relationship. Later when Yu Youqing got older and left the hospital to assume his position in the National Healer Team, Shao Wentao also became a National Healer under Yu Youqing’s operation.

Over the years, Shao Wentao had helped Yu Youqing in many trivial matters, and their relationship was openly known to everyone in the National Healer Team.

So when Yu Youqing abdicated his position, Shao Wentao instantly became the next possible candidate.

“How’s your preparation work?” Yu Youqing smiled.

“I’m not too confident with this selection. Compared to Yue Zun, I don’t have as much reputation and experience.” Shao Wentao replied with an embarrassed smile.

“Yue Zun was truly reliable dealing with matters, but you don’t have to undervalue yourself. The National Healers will all make the voting, and there are many of my friends among them. As long as you’re prepared, you still have a high hope.” Yu Youqing smiled confidently but he did not speak out blatantly.

Shao Wentao tactfully understood what his master meant. Yue Zun might have a good reputation, but Yu Youqing had managed to National Healer Team for years, so he had a great influence here. With his support, there was a high possibility that he might be selected.

Despite him rejoicing inwardly, he still kept his composure as he replied, “Please be reassured, master. I will definitely not disappoint you.”

“It’s humans to have some selfishness.” Yu Youqing smiled in satisfaction.

When Shao Wentao heard Yu Youqing’s words, a fire lit in his heart as he replied emotionally, “Master, you’re the best thing that came into my life!”

After Shao Wentao left Yu Youqing’s office, his face suddenly changed with a smug. Over the years, he had been there for Yu Youqing’s beck and call like a dog, and he had finally done it. If it goes according to his expectation, he would replace Yu Youqing as the leader of the National Healer Team.

It was the highest honor available for those in the medical industry. It was a position equivalent to the Chief of the Imperial Physician Courtyard in ancient China, an official equivalent to a Fifth Grade Official. It was the peak of what he could attain in this realm.

Then again, the rank was just secondary. Most importantly, he could gain control of the entire National Healer system, and it meant glory.

All the National Healers had to provide healthcare services for those important figures, and as the leader, he could easily form a good relationship with those figures.

It was a valuable fortune of connection. Shao Wentao had many insane and impractical ideas when he was young, but he couldn’t fulfill them. But after taking over Yu Youqing’s position, he might have hopes for that.

When Shao Wentao was returning to his own office, he bumped into Yue Zun.

“Hello, Mr. Shao!” Yue Zun greeted out of manners.

However, Shao Wentao did not give him any nice expression as he only responded briefly before he left.

In the end, Yue Zun was left standing on the position awkwardly with a bitter smile. He sighed in his heart as there might be chaos within the National Healer Team during this period of time.
