That's asking too much of anyone!

But Yan Yirou still wanted to try. She asked Shangguan Wu for the names and effects of five hundred kinds of Chinese medicinal herbs and began to memorize them.

After finishing his drink, Shangguan Wu ordered two more cups, leisurely sipping his hot beverage while playing on his phone.

She first browsed Weibo, where the popularity of "Meise" perfume and traditional Chinese medicine remained high.

The more he looked, the more his brows furrowed.

Most people have misunderstandings and distrust of traditional Chinese medicine, and their remarks are full of hostility.

Traditional Chinese medicine should have been consigned to the dustbin of history long ago.

Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners are all frauds! Go to hell!!!

Actually, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is metaphysics, because the meridians, acupoints, dampness, kidney qi, this toxin and that toxin, yin excess and yang deficiency that TCM talks about are all non-existent. What's more, the prescriptions based on these non-existent things don't even exist.

My brother's bronchitis was delayed for two months by traditional Chinese medicine, but he recovered immediately after just one dose of penicillin. Western medicine is amazing!

Among these overwhelmingly negative comments, there are a few who believe in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). They have all been cured of long-term illnesses by TCM and therefore hold TCM in high regard.

The phrase "Little Miracle Doctor" appeared in all of their comments.

A small minority of people take a rational approach to Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Good traditional Chinese medicine doctors do exist, but they are rare finds.

Traditional Chinese medicine is no worse than Western medicine; it just takes a little longer to see results.

It's undeniable that traditional Chinese medicine is a treasure left to us by our ancestors, but it's also true that some practitioners are charlatans who will stop at nothing for money.

[There are also people impersonating legendary doctors to deceive people, claiming to be their successors, advertising on television, and deceiving elderly people who don't know how to use the internet and only watch TV.]

[...]

well.

Shangguan Wu sighed inwardly.

The claim that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is slow to take effect is not entirely true. TCM adopts three approaches based on the patient's condition: treating the symptoms in acute cases, treating the root cause in chronic cases, and treating both symptoms and root cause.

As for those extremists, even when the facts are right in front of them, sometimes you can't wake someone who is pretending to be asleep.

But she did not argue with anyone about the practicality of traditional Chinese medicine.

Two hours later, Shangguan Wu glanced at Yan Yirou, got up, and went to the restroom.

Yan Yirou suddenly stood up and moved around, stretching her arms, kicking her legs, and twisting her waist. After about two minutes, she sat down, drank her beverage, and continued to memorize.

Shangguan Wu deliberately circled around the restaurant before returning to the private room.

If it weren't for the fact that half a cup of drink was missing, she would have thought that Yan Yirou hadn't moved at all.

Fortunately, she moved around; otherwise, prolonged sitting would have led to poor blood circulation and increased the burden on her cardiovascular system. Moreover, she was using her brain intensively, and although she tried her best to memorize, the results might not have been satisfactory.

The same applies to learning; it's important to balance work and rest.

Shangguan Wu closed Weibo and opened the Qingkong Forum. Although there were also posts discussing traditional Chinese medicine highlighted in red on the homepage, the content there was not as hostile as on Weibo.

Many people are speaking with facts.

Seek truth from historical facts.

Traditional Chinese medicine has survived to this day, and its cultural value is immeasurable. Its core values ​​are respect for life, harmony, benevolence, valuing humanity, and the continuous cycle of life.

Some people also cited real-life examples of how half-baked traditional Chinese medicine practitioners caused deaths.

There are also those who, despite not being practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine, pretend to be miracle doctors on television programs, deceive viewers, and end up in jail.

Big-faced Cat's Little Cutie: [It has to be said that Traditional Chinese Medicine is highly controversial.]

This humble woman replies: [Indeed, the main reason for this problem is the uneven quality and chaotic state of the traditional Chinese medicine industry.]

You hear the echo of love: [To be honest, if we want to promote traditional Chinese medicine, inherit this national treasure, and go global, we must first change the current state of this industry. Students of traditional Chinese medicine still have a long way to go!]

Shangguan Wu's expression gradually became serious.

It is impossible to change someone's deeply ingrained old ideas by relying on the efforts of just one person.

She felt she should go back to medical school!

Time passed by, minute by minute.

As dusk settles, colorful neon lights illuminate the streets, twinkling and radiating dazzling light.

Yan Yirou raised her head and looked intently at Shangguan Wu: "Fourth Young Madam, I want to give it a try."

Shangguan Wu had just finished ordering and gave her an encouraging smile: "Let's begin."

Encouraged, Yan Yirou closed her eyes and began to recite.

In ten minutes, she memorized forty kinds of Chinese medicinal herbs and their effects and uses.

Ten minutes later, she recited twenty-five kinds.

The speed gradually slowed down.

When the delivery person came in, Yan Yirou was interrupted for three minutes. Then, when she continued to speak, the time she was stuck became longer and longer.

She thought she could memorize at least half of them, but now she hasn't been able to memorize any of the two hundred.

Yan Yirou's face flushed slightly, a mixture of nervousness and shame.

But Shangguan Wu told her, "You are excellent."

Yan Yirou was stunned: "What?"

"From the time you started memorizing to the time you recited it, it only took five hours. And considering you have never been exposed to Chinese medicinal herbs before, being able to recite 123 kinds is already quite impressive."

Shangguan Wu's watery eyes were filled with admiration for her. She picked up two cups of milk tea, handing one to her: "Let's use milk tea instead of alcohol to wish each other a pleasant collaboration."

Yan Yirou opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

She thought the deal was off, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and Shangguan Wu was willing to cooperate with her.

Yan Yirou's mood was like a rollercoaster, fluctuating wildly, but in the end it was good, and she happily stood up to accept the milk tea.

Seeing this, Shangguan Wu had no choice but to stand up as well.

After clinking glasses with Shangguan Wu, Yan Yirou solemnly said, "Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Fourth Young Madam. I will definitely make sure you get more than your money's worth."

Shangguan Wu raised an eyebrow and smiled: "I'm looking forward to it."

The two of them took big gulps of milk tea together.

Shangguan Wu suggested, "Since we are now partners and friends, please don't call me Fourth Young Madam, just call me Shangguan Wu."

Yan Yirou was taken aback at first, then nodded and smiled, "Okay. Hello Shangguan Wu, I am Yan Yirou."

Shangguan Wu smiled back.

After finishing their meal, the two left the restaurant.

Shangguan Wu asked her, "Where are you planning to go? I'll take you."

Yan Yirou waved her phone at her: "I can take a taxi home by myself. I still have 377 kinds of Chinese medicinal herbs to write down. I won't be bored."

Shangguan Wu was still worried and said to Du Wei, "Du Wei, take Miss Yan home."

"Yes, Miss."

Du Wei responded and looked at Yan Yirou: "Miss Yan, please."

Yan Yirou initially wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she realized that it was Shangguan Wu's good intention. They would have many opportunities to interact in the future, and being too polite would not be suitable for building a closer relationship.

Thank you, goodbye.

Yan Yirou stepped forward and hugged her, then turned and got into a taxi.

It was around 9:30 when Shangguan Wu returned to the Gu residence.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Gu Yunzhen sitting in the living room with two laptops placed side by side on the coffee table.

"Honey, I'm home!"

Upon hearing Shangguan Wu's soft voice, Gu Yunzhen looked up at her, his eyes deep and dark.
