Chapter 774 Qualifications

Zhuo Bufan glanced at him meaningfully and said, “From now on, we’re in the same team. If there’s anything you don’t understand, just tell me.”

Guo Tao said, “The situation is indeed very urgent this time. I heard that seven or eight villagers have been infected with the virus. If the epidemic is not effectively controlled, the consequences will be very serious.

“For now, Western medicine can cure diseases, and the Biochemistry Institute can study and analyze the rare virus. Our Biological Research Center can give information on bats so that we can find the source of the virus.

“But I don’t understand why we need doctors of traditional Chinese medicine. What can they do? Can it be that those roots and rotten leaves can eliminate the virus? I don’t believe it.”

“Hey, what are you talking about? What do you mean by saying Western medicine can cure diseases? Can’t we doctors of traditional Chinese medicine cure diseases?”

It turned out that this guy was trying to beat around the bush and insult traditional Chinese medicine. His target was Qin Haodong, but the first one to stand out against him was Sun Bowei.

Although Sun Bowei didn’t like Qin Haodong, the Sun family had been working as traditional Chinese medicine practitioners for generations, and they regarded Sun Simiao as their ancestor. How could they allow others to slander traditional Chinese medicine?

Guo Tao said with disdain, “What’s the problem? Am I wrong? Chinese medicine practitioners can deal with minor diseases such as colds and fevers. But what else can you do?

“Do you know how many species of viruses there are? Do you know what kind of structure the virus is? Do you know what kind of antibiotics is effective for the virus? Do you know what treatment methods are the most targeted?”

“I…”

Sun Bowei was silenced by Guo Tao’s series of questions. Although he had also been in college, he majored in traditional Chinese medicine, so he knew nothing about Western medicine.

Sun Fengqing shook his head slightly. His grandson was still too young to bridle his temper.

Qin Haodong, on the other hand, had a better impression of Sun Bowei, who had stood up and protected traditional Chinese medicine at this time, which had won his favor.

He said, “Mr. Guo, right? I don’t think your questions make sense. We study traditional Chinese medicine. TCM has its own medical system. There is no need to know about Western medicine knowledge.”

Sun Bowei came to his senses and said, “That’s right. We are doctors of traditional Chinese medicine. All we need to do is treat the patients. Why do we need to study those viruses?”

Guo Tao glared at Qin Haodong and said, “I don’t want to talk too much about medicine, but the source of infection is very likely to be a bat. How much do you know about bats?

“Do you know how many teeth bats have? Do you know what kind of life habits bats have? Do you know how many kinds of blood powder bats carry on their bodies?”

His questions were imposing. He believed that this toy boy couldn’t answer such professional questions at all.

Sure enough, Qin Haodong shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”

“You know nothing. What qualifications do you have to join the expert panel? Is it because you have a plane?”

Guo Tao was now confident. After all, the plane was in mid-air now. No matter how powerful Qin Haodong was, he couldn’t ask the plane to turn around and fly back, let alone drive him down from the air.

It was because of this that he dared to stand up and provoke Qin Haodong unscrupulously. He wanted to humiliate Qin Haodong and win others’ approval.

But this time, Qin Haodong did not pay attention to him at all. Instead, he said to Su Hui with a smile, “We just left in a hurry and haven’t had lunch yet. Are you hungry?”

Su Hui nodded. She had been busy for the whole morning. It was already 1:10 p.m., and she was indeed hungry.

Moreover, the capital was thousands of kilometers away from Yunnan Province. They were expected to arrive at dusk, so they had to have lunch.

They were not the only ones who were hungry. The others had also rushed to the plane and no one had time to have lunch.

So no one spoke anymore, and all of them were waiting for lunch.

“Well, let’s have lunch,” Qin Haodong said as he waved to the two flight attendants next to him. They immediately began to serve the meal.

The lunch was a set meal. There were plenty of dishes on each plate, including beef with sauce, braised chicken pieces, steamed fish, a few vegetables, and rice, which smelled good and woke up their appetite.

The flight attendants distributed the set meals and give one to each of them. But Guo Tao got nothing.

He suddenly became anxious and shouted, “Qin Haodong, what do you mean by this? Do you want to avenge yourself?”

Qin Haodong picked up a piece of beef with sauce, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly. After swallowing it, he said faintly, “Mr. Guo, I also want to ask you a few questions to see if you know the answers.”

Guo Tao said angrily, “You’re not convinced, are you? As long as they are biology-related questions, I can definitely give you the correct answer.”

In terms of professional knowledge, although he was not as good as Professor Wang Aimin, he thought that he was a hundred times better than others.

Qin Haodong pointed at the braised chicken in front of him with his chopsticks and said, “Mr. Guo, tell me, what was the color of this chicken when it was alive?”

“I…”

Guo Tao almost choked on his own saliva. No one could answer such a question.

Qin Haodong smiled and said, “You don’t know the answer, do you? Then tell me, how much hair did this cow have when it was alive? How many scales did this fish have? How much food did they eat? How much did it weigh?”

Guo Tao said angrily, “Qin Haodong, what kind of bullsh*t questions are these? Who can answer them?”

Qin Haodong said indifferently, “Since you can’t answer the questions, what qualifications do you have to eat?”

The people around him burst into laughter. Originally, they thought that Qin Haodong had swallowed his anger, but they didn’t expect that the young man’s counterattack would be so specific and so sharp.

Guo Tao flushed, and his face was as red as the pig’s liver. He said indignantly, “Do these questions have something to do with my lunch?”

Qin Haodong said, “Can traditional Chinese medicine cure diseases? Do the bullsh*t things that you asked us about have anything to do with whether I’m qualified for the panel?

“When you eat beef, you don’t need to know the details of the cow. Why do we, Chinese medicine practitioners, have to figure out the situation of the bat and snake? We just need to be able to detoxify and cure the disease. The rest is just nonsense.

“As for the qualifications of our Chinese medicine practitioners to join the expert panel, it’s not something that a good-for-nothing guy like you can question. Just keep your mouth shut and go back to get your benefits.”

“I…”

Being exposed in public, Guo Tao was irritated and shouted angrily, “Qin Haodong, no matter what, you have no right to take away my lunch!”

Qin Haodong sneered, “Mr. Guo, you have to know that I lent the plane to the Ministry of Health. After all, you are also a member of the expert panel. You can take my plane, but I didn’t promise Minister Shao that I would be responsible for logistics.

“In principle, everyone should bring their own lunch. I’m willing to provide food for others, but I’m not willing to give food to people like you!”

“You…”

Guo Tao blushed, but he couldn’t say anything. Indeed, the plane belonged to Qin Haodong and the food was also served by him. It was not his duty to serve a meal. He had no right to ask Qin Haodong to prepare lunch for him.

His stomach growled as he smelled the aroma of the food. He couldn’t help but look at Zhuo Bufan for help.

But he found that his former helpers and comrades-in-arms didn’t even look at him, and all of them were having lunch, including Zhuo Bufan. They didn’t even raise their heads, and no one wanted to speak for him.

In fact, everyone on the plane realized that the young man was powerful. If they spoke up for Guo Tao, the lunch in front of them might be gone.

Guo Tao could only watch others eating, and he kept swallowing saliva.

He was very regretful now. Why did he have to provoke Qin Haodong just now? Even if he wanted to raise the questions, he should have waited until they had lunch. He was in such a mess now.

After lunch, the flight attendants put away all the plates, and everyone leaned against their seats to rest.

After a while, Ye Liying’s face turned ghostly pale. She frowned and seemed to be in great pain.

Qin Haodong said, “Miss, are you suffering from airsickness now?”

Ye Liying nodded and said, “Yes, I’m prone to airsickness. I can deal with a short flight, but I’ll feel sick on a long flight.”

At this time, Zhao Meng came over and said, “Miss, let me introduce myself. I’m the director of internal medicine at Center Hospital and have returned from M Country. What’s wrong with you? Can I take a look?”

He was here to gain experience, but it was not bad for him to get to know a few beauties in the process. So after getting on the plane, he kept looking at the three women on the opposite side.

The most beautiful woman on the plane was Su Hui, but she had been sitting beside Qin Haodong the whole time. She didn’t even look at him, so he had given up on flirting with her.

Although the woman in front of him was a little older, she was still very beautiful and had a well-shaped body. She was a mature young woman that men liked most, so this guy seized the opportunity and came over to please her immediately.

Ye Liying held her forehead with her hand and said, “Thank you, Doctor Zhao. I’m fine. I just feel a little dizzy and sick and want to throw up.”

“Miss, I’m the best at treating airsickness. I have medicine with me. You’ll be fine after taking some.”

Zhao Meng took out a small bottle from his pocket and handed it to Ye Liying.

Ye Liying looked at the medicine in Zhao Meng’s hand, shook her head, and said, “It’s useless, Doctor Zhao. I’m quite special. I’m allergic to phencynonate hydrochloride tablets. Otherwise, I would have taken one before getting on the plane.”

“Uh…”

Zhao Meng originally wanted to be attentive but failed.

Sun Bowei said, “Doctor, is there any other way?”

They were both doctors of traditional Chinese medicine, so he had unconsciously stood on the same side as Qin Haodong.

Zhao Meng said with a little embarrassment, “Miss Ye has a special constitution and is allergic to drugs. I don’t have any good idea.”

“Let me do it.” Qin Haodong took out the needle bag and said to Ye Liying, “Miss Ye, acupuncture is quite effective for airsickness. How about I give you acupuncture?”

Ye Liying said, “Thank you, Doctor Qin.”

“You’re welcome. We’re all colleagues. It’s our duty to help each other.”

After that, he put the silver needles inside several acupoints on Ye Liying’s head and chest. It was amazing. As soon as the silver needle was pierced into her skin, Ye Liying’s disgusting and uncomfortable feeling disappeared, and she became much more energetic.

“Doctor Qin, your medical skills are amazing. Thank you!”

Qin Haodong smiled. After five minutes, he took back all the silver needles.

At this time, Dong Anna said in a charming voice, “Doctor Qin, why don’t you show me your excellent medical skills? I’m a little uncomfortable.”

Upon hearing her words, Su Hui frowned. Although she was quite innocent, it was obvious that this woman was not sick at all. She just wanted to seduce Qin Haodong.

As a doctor, Qin Haodong couldn’t turn her down. He asked, “What’s wrong with you?”

Dong Anna reached out to touch her towering chest and said sweetly, “I don’t feel well here. Maybe I’m also dizzy. Why don’t you give me acupuncture?”

Qin Haodong said, “I’d better feel your pulse.”
