Chapter 315 - The First Participant Who Received an Invite!
Chapter 315 The First Participant Who Received an Invite!
Soon, the Young Physician of China Competition formally requested for tenders from the sponsors and advertisers.
Since it was organized by the Central Television and it was a large event that had never been held in the history of Chinese Medicine, it had already garnered a lot of attention, and thus, many major Chinese Medicine suppliers, health products suppliers, and suppliers of medicinal goods fought intensely to win a slot.
Ultimately, the sponsorship and advertisement fees far surpassed the expectations of the production company. They managed to cover their production costs and even made a huge profit.
The production company was surprised by the result and this made them feel even more confident about the audience’s reception of the Young Physician of China Competition.
They had the support of so many people and enough money to cover their production costs.
Thus, they would have to make sure that the competition was a success!
They would have to make sure that the viewership ratings of this competition were high enough!
Soon, the entire production team was extremely excited.
It was a simple post that only had one sentence.
However, this immediately created a stir online.
“It’s him!”
“I can’t believe it’s him. Why didn’t I think of him earlier?”
“He would indeed be worthy of participating in this competition and he is definitely skilled enough to progress.”
“Everyone still remembers the competition of the pulse of pregnancy. Fang Qiu is so incredibly talented that he is definitely worthy of progressing to the top 50 immediately!”
“I’ve waited a long time for you, Fang Qiu.”
“I knew it!”
“Haha, who would be able to compete against Fang Qiu when it comes to the younger generation of Chinese physicians? Who else would they invite but him?”
…
Everyone engaged in a heated discussion.
Naturally, a large majority of the general public was supportive of this decision because they had to admit that he was incredibly skilled. Moreover, if Fang Qiu hadn’t won in the pulse of pregnancy competition, this competition might not even have been held. The person who originated this competition was none other than Fang Qiu.
Everyone thought that Fang Qiu progressing directly to the top 50 was something that was both surprising and also within expectations.
They were surprised because they hadn’t heard news about Fang Qiu for a long time, so they had almost forgotten about him.
It was also completely reasonable because no one could compete with Fang Qiu amongst the young Chinese physicians throughout the country.
At least this was how the general public felt!
Soon, the news that Fang Qiu had been selected by the committee to progress directly to the top 50 spread throughout the entire Chinese Medicine community.
The prominent physicians who heard this news had high expectations of Fang Qiu.
After all, Fang Qiu had brought honor to Chinese Medicine through the pulse of pregnancy competition and everyone also knew that he had won after only spending two or three days studying. His talent and aptitude were unparalleled.
Although he was regarded as a genius by the prominent physicians, the other young and talented Chinese physicians did not think that highly of him.
In a pavilion located in an ancient medicine garden in a county.
“Fang Qiu!”
A young man who wore a white historical robe with blue threads and sported a head of long, flowing locks arched his brow when he saw the news on Weibo. He was sitting in front of a wooden table and exuded a strong herbal scent. Then, his brows relaxed and he muttered, “I don’t understand why my master refuses to let me show off my talents. However, since my master didn’t stop me from taking part in this competition, does it mean that it is time for me to claim my spot as the leader among the young Chinese physicians?”
He smiled and said calmly, “Fang Qiu, wait for me. I’ll show you how highly-skilled I am!”
…
In a yard that was also very fragrant, a young man with shorn locks glanced at his phone after he finished preparing a tonic.
“Humph,” he scoffed coldly and said. “These days, there are way too many quacks claiming to be talented physicians. As a talented physician from a family of prominent physicians, I don’t even generate so much publicity for myself. Fang Qiu is clearly stirring trouble for himself. This competition will be interesting.”
…
On a small mountain road, a young man in his 20s with ripped jeans and a red hooded sweater seemed very fashionable but was in fact very dirty. His clothes were covered by a layer of dirt.
His hands were stuck in his pockets as he trudged behind an elderly man with a white beard wearing a gray long robe and carrying a wooden walking stick.
“Master, did you just agree?”
The young man held his phone and asked, “Did you just give your permission for me to participate in the Young Physicians of China Competition?”
“First, you’ll need a good wash,” the bearded elderly man said. “Then, you must win the competition!”
“Don’t worry,” the young man said with a chuckle. “Young people these days do not know what the true meaning of a skilled physician is anymore. He had only won the competition of the pulse of pregnancy and now, everyone thinks that he’s a genius. They even named him the leader of young Chinese physicians. What an exaggerated title. Watch me as I take him down. I’ll let everyone know the meaning of a true Chinese physician and a true talented Chinese physician!”
“Hmm?” The bearded elderly man stamped his walking stick on the ground and looked at the young man in annoyance.
“I was wrong, I was wrong,” the young man immediately shook his head and said, “I shouldn’t be arrogant. True physicians should have empathy for their patients and be morally upright. I shouldn’t seek revenge nor should I bear hatred in my heart!”
“Humph,” the elderly man scoffed and continued to make his way forward.
The young man smiled sheepishly and glanced at Fang Qiu’s name on his phone before a look of disdain flashed past his eyes.
…
At a University of Chinese Medicine.
“I heard that Fang Qiu came in first in a competition testing the knowledge of students from eight different universities, so I guess he must truly be very talented. However, isn’t he afraid that he would be crushed by the competition since he had only gained fame from one competition— the pulse of pregnancy?”
A student sat in front of his desk in a luxuriously decorated dorm as he browsed through Weibo on his laptop. “He only won the pulse of pregnancy competition. This is such a minor achievement…”
“I would have been able to pull of the same feat if the school hadn’t stopped me from participating!”
“However, this is a good chance for me to show the world what a true genius looks like. Talented Chinese physicians are not determined by one pulse of pregnancy!”
