BXBX NOVEL Chapter 649 - Fang Qiu’s Cunning!
Zhang Zhiming looked at Fang Qiu and said, “The secretary-general is rather stubborn. He will never be talked into liking the savory flavor.”
“What I prepared is sweet.”
Fang Qiu grinned and said, “Besides, I haven’t bribed him with money or gifts. I’m just doing him a favor. That’s called helping each other!”
.
At these words, Zhang Zhiming was speechless.
However, when he gave it a thought, he found that what Fang Qiu said was right.
This was not like to secure advantages through influence. At most, it was just an act of helping each other.
“He has diabetes.”
After thinking for a while, Zhang Zhiming said, “And he is at the third stage.”
“Yes, that’s it!”
Fang Qiu immediately nodded and made up his mind.
“Hum?”
Zhang Zhiming looked at Fang Qiu with a puzzled face and asked, “Can you cure him?”
“It seems that you don’t believe in the medical skills passed down by our ancestors either,” Fang Qiu said with a smile.
.
.
.
However, Zhang Zhiming continued staring at Fang Qiu. Clearly, what he meant was that “It’s not that I don’t believe in traditional Chinese Medicine, but I don’t believe in you”.
“I’m more than 80% sure,” Fang Qiu blurted out.
.
.
In fact, Fang Qiu was still being modest.
.
Yet, hearing this, Zhang Zhiming’s expression immediately altered. He looked at Fang Qiu in shock and asked, “Really?”
“Really.”
Fang Qiu nodded with certainty.
“How about this...”
Zhang Zhiming frowned, took a deep breath, then looked at Fang Qiu with a solemn face and asked, “Do you really have to speak at the medical conference?”
“Yes.”
Fang Qiu nodded.
If he didn’t speak, his face would be swollen!
“Screech...”
Zhang Zhiming got to his feet and started to pace back and forth in the room. While walking, he kept replaying Fang Qiu’s deeds in the domestic in his mind.
As the representative of Huaxia at the medical conference, Zhang Zhiming naturally knew that Fang Qiu had been invited to the medical conference. Therefore, as soon as Fang Qiu was invited, he started paying attention to Fang Qiu’s every move in Huaxia. When it came to the big events related to Fang Qiu, he surely knew them all.
Hence, when Zhang Zhiming heard that Fang Qiu was 80% sure, he appeared to be this shocked.
“Okay.”
After pacing for a long time, Zhang Zhiming finally came to a halt. He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said, “I’ll help you with it. But we have to make it clear, though I’ll help you, you can’t harm me. We Huaxia people tend to have little say at the medical conference. If you can speak at this medical conference held by the World Health Organization, it might be a good thing. If you really cure the disease of the secretary-general, it will definitely bring benefits to our country. And once he is cured, you’ll have two successful cases. Those who now think little of us will certainly look at us with new eyes because of this.”
“However, if you fail to cure it, no matter how much attention you get due to the rescue of the plane, it absolutely can’t offset the impact of this failure. This matter will influence the development of the country and traditional Chinese Medicine. You should think it through!”
.
It had to be admitted that being the permanent representative here, Zhang Zhiming knew he had to take many things into consideration and always look at the bigger picture.
“Don’t worry.”
Fang Qiu nodded and said, “My method is different from the usual ones. I have confidence in this!”
.
At his remark, Zhang Zhiming cast a significant look at Fang Qiu and prepared to leave. Yet, he was still worried. He quickly turned back and asked Fang Qiu, “What method are you going to use on earth?”
Fang Qiu smiled, got up, walked to Zhang Zhiming, and whispered a few words in his ear.
.
Hearing Fang Qiu’s words, Zhang Zhiming’s hesitant look vanished, and his eyes brightened.
“Is it true?” Zhang Zhiming asked after Fang Qiu finished speaking.
.
“Of course it’s true!”
Fang Qiu nodded at once.
“Good.”
Zhang Zhiming nodded with a beam and said, “I’ll lay the groundwork for you right now.”
.
With that, he immediately turned around and left.
Looking at Zhang Zhiming’s back as he left, Fang Qiu smiled.
To be honest, it was a close call this time.
The major issue was that he didn’t know the process of the medical conference at all. Fortunately, Zhang Zhiming came to his door first. If Zhang Zhiming hadn’t come, he would rush to speak at the medical conference like a fool, which would definitely impose a great impact on the country and the traditional Chinese Medicine.
.
Even though it was a close call, now, it could be considered a solved issue.
Fang Qiu believed that no one in the world didn’t want to be healthy or their illness to be cured.
Since the secretary-general was ill, he must want to be cured.
“Beep, beep, beep...”
When the door was closed after Zhang Zhiming left, Fang Qiu’s mobile phone rang all of a sudden.
He drew out his mobile phone and took a look.
It turned out to be Jiang Miaoyu calling.
Fang Qiu didn’t expect that Jiang Miaoyu would call at this time. But come to think of it, it seemed that he hadn’t called her for a long time.
“Could it be that she’s looking for trouble?”
His heart skipped a beat.
“Hello.”
Acting like he was very busy, Fang Qiu waited for the phone to ring several times before he pressed the answer button.
“If I don’t call you, you will never call me, will you?”
Sure enough, as soon as the call was put through, Jiang Miaoyu’s angry girlish voice came from the other end of the line.
“How could that be?”
Fang Qiu hastily shook his head and explained, “I’m all swamped. I was considering calling you after finishing my work, then you called me.”
“Is that so?”
Jiang Miaoyu snorted and said, “It’s only been a few days since we parted, but you’ve already learned to lie?”
“That does not sound right to me.”
Fang Qiu immediately shook his head and said in a bitter tone, “Seems that you’ve got a lot of misunderstanding about me during the past few days of my absence.”
“What misunderstanding? At which point did I misunderstand?” Demanded Jiang Miaoyu discontentedly.
.
“Well, well, there is no misunderstanding, no misunderstanding.”
Fang Qiu hurriedly begged for peace and said, “I just arrived at the hotel prepared by the medical conference, and I haven’t even gotten around to sorting out my things. If I hadn’t got that accident during the flight, I would certainly call you the moment I got off the plane.”
“Then why didn’t you call me before you got on the plane?”
Jiang Miaoyu continued to snort. “You could have called me when you were transferring to the next flight. If I hadn’t seen the news, I wouldn’t even know you’ve flown to Switzerland.”
“I came here in a hurry.” Fang Qiu gave an awkward smile.
.
“Since you saved someone on the plane and brought glory to our country, I’ll wait for you to come back and settle scores with you,” Jiang Miaoyu replied.
.
“We still have to settle scores?”
Fang Qiu smiled wryly.
“It’s a must.”
Jiang Miaoyu snorted, then asked, “How is the weather over there?”
“It’s fine. Neither too cold nor too hot,” said Fang Qiu.
.
“Good. Have you brought enough clothes and daily necessities? Though the hotels over there are all luxurious, you’d better not use the things the hotel provides you if not necessary. At worst, you can just buy new ones,” prompted Jiang Miaoyu.
.
“Rest assured. I’m a doctor, remember?”
Fang Qiu smiled warmly.
“You need to take good care of yourself since you’re alone over there. If you’re not used to the local food, you might as well just buy some fresh ingredients and cook your meals yourself. Anyway, you know how to cook,” Jiang Miaoyu said.
.
“Cook what?”
Fang Qiu was stunned.
“Shredded cucumber with garlic sauce!”
Jiang Miaoyu chuckled.
“That’s not bad.”
Fang Qiu laughed as well.
“Well, this is a long-distance call. It’ll cost a lot. I think we can call it a day now. Remember, take good care of yourself and perform well there. You’re expected to win glory for the country and traditional Chinese Medicine. I’m rooting for you!” Jiang Miaoyu remarked.
.
“Sure.”
Fang Qiu nodded heavily.
After saying goodbye to each other, they hung up the phone.
“Now it is...”
Fang Qiu looked at the clock and calculated silently. He found that it should be morning in Huaxia, so he immediately called his parents and told them that he arrived safe and sound.
It was 10 o’clock in the evening in Switzerland.
“Tinkle, tinkle...”
The doorbell rang.
Fang Qiu opened the door.
Zhang Zhiming stormed in. Without saying a word, he threw himself on the sofa as if he had been greatly angered. Then, he snapped, “It’s obvious that this secretary-general doesn’t believe in traditional Chinese Medicine. He doesn’t want you to treat him at all!”
“What’s the matter?” Inquired Fang Qiu.
.
.
Plainly, Zhang Zhiming was bent out of shape because of that secretary-general. But Fang Qiu didn’t know exactly what had happened.
“I told the secretary-general.”
Zhang Zhiming said, “The secretary-general found a patient with diabetes and asked you to treat him. He said that he would wait and see if you can cure that patient first.”
.
Speaking of this, Zhang Zhiming complained in indignation, “You didn’t see his face. His contempt for us is genuine!”
“That’s it?”
Fang Qiu suddenly laughed and said, “That’s good news.”
“Good news?”
Zhang Zhiming pursed his lips and asked, “Is it a good thing?”
“Yes.”
Fang Qiu nodded and clarified, “If I simply cure him, he still may not approve my request of having a chance to speak at the conference. But if I cure the person he picked, what do you think his reaction will be after he ascertains that I can cure his disease?”
Zhang Zhiming was dazed.
.
Actually, that seemed to make sense.
“Then, it won’t be us begging to treat him but the reverse.”
Fang Qiu went on with a smile, “Let’s say, will he agree to my request when he begs me to treat him?”
Zhang Zhiming was stunned.
.
Of course, what stunned him was not what Fang Qiu said, but Fang Qiu himself.
“Are today’s young people in our country all so awesome?”
“How old is Fang Qiu anyway?”
“But he is already so cunning?”
“Could this be verifying the saying that ‘If the youngsters are strong, the country will be strong’?”
“The nation is about to rise!”
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiming, whose trains of thought were never the same as those of common people, looked at Fang Qiu with admiration, then asked, “Are you saying that you are willing to treat the person designated by the secretary-general?”
“Of course I am. Can’t be more willing to do it,” Fang Qiu answered.
.
“That’s fine.”
Zhang Zhiming nodded and said, “That person is waiting in the hall downstairs. Let’s go downstairs.”
.
With that, he grabbed Fang Qiu and headed downstairs.
...
.
The reporter, who had timely released all kinds of news about Fang Qiu, already learned the location of Fang Qiu’s accommodation. He had long come to the lobby of the hotel where Fang Qiu stayed, ready to find an opportunity to interview this wondrous oriental youth.
Because the hotel was an assigned hotel for the medical conference, the reporter couldn’t go upstairs at all, so he could only wait on the first floor.
Although Fang Qiu was from Huaxia, this time he planned to keep a close eye on Fang Qiu.
.
From where he was standing, Fang Qiu was his chance to have a turnaround!
