Tang Xiaobao laughed at this time.

He looked at Paul Carr and said, "The Nobel Prize in Medicine is a prestigious award, but what good does it do to win it? What does it prove? You know, I don't lack the prize money, and I don't lack fame. What's the big deal whether I get the award or not?"

Paul Karl was about to speak, but Tang Xiaobao spoke first:

"What was the original intention of the Nobel Prize? It was to honor and recognize scientific researchers around the world who have made outstanding contributions to human progress, not to be traded as a commodity. This cannot be a one-man show. In China, there's a saying that goes, 'The eyes of the masses are sharp.' This award shouldn't be divided by nationality or race, right? If you think I'm unqualified for this award, you don't have to give it to me. But you're using this award to blackmail me, to make me compete with the so-called Western medical authorities you've brought in, and to use this to attack Chinese traditional medicine. You're too despicable. China is one of the four ancient civilizations in the world, and its cultural heritage is so long-standing that you can't even imagine it. Just like Chinese traditional medicine, you can turn a blind eye to it, but it still exists. You can question it, but it has, is, and will always relieve patients' pain and benefit countless patients. It exists, so why does it need your affirmation?"

Tang Xiaobao's words were spoken righteously and sternly.

Liu Jun and Liu Yan on the side were both moved.

But Paul Carr shouted, "Mr. Tang, I think you're scared. You don't dare to accept the challenge, do you? As for the Nobel Prize in Medicine you mentioned, our jury will naturally do a fair and strict job of selecting it. We will never use it to blackmail you as you said."

"But in fact, you did threaten me. Do you still want to deny it?" Tang Xiaobao sneered.

"coward!"

Paul Karl said: "I am very disappointed, Mr. Tang. Your remarks are an insult to us. How can someone who insults us like this still want to win an award?"

"Once you take off the mask, you are so ugly."

Tang Xiaobao laughed: "Forget it, I won't accept the award. You can give it to whoever you want, but——"

He paused, then said seriously, "You want to challenge Chinese Traditional Medicine? I'll give you a chance. I'll come to the appointment for a fight at Christmas. By then, I'll leave you Western doctors speechless and make you admit your defeat with conviction. Remember, my name is Tang Xiaobao, and I represent Chinese Traditional Medicine. You don't need to provoke me or threaten me. I don't want the award, and I won't attend the award ceremony, but I will take this challenge. Moreover, I hope you can find ten so-called Western medicine experts, and I'll fight ten of them alone. If you lose, I will no longer practice medicine and admit in front of the people of the world that Chinese medicine is inferior to Western medicine. Moreover, I am willing to donate 10 billion US dollars for the Nobel Prize. This is my stake. If you lose, you must also make them admit in front of the people of the world that Western medicine is inferior to Chinese medicine. As for the stake, I don't think you can come up with that much money, OK?"

sweat……

Tang Xiaobao's words shocked Paul Karl so much that his eyes widened and he was completely speechless.

However, Liu Jun and Liu Yan looked anxious.

"Tang Xiaobao, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Minister Liu Jun quickly spoke out to stop it.

Tang Xiaobao said, "Minister Liu, this is my personal matter. I can still afford 10 billion US dollars. If I lose, it is also my personal statement. Is that not okay?"

His tone was a little impolite.

Minister Liu Jun wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't know what to say.

Yes, this is Tang Xiaobao’s personal matter, and it makes no sense for outsiders to interfere.

Liu Yan is Liu Jun's distant nephew, otherwise he wouldn't have reached this position. Seeing that Minister Liu had hit a snag, he immediately frowned and said, "Tang Xiaobao, watch your words!"

"You're the one who should be paying attention. Don't you know this is a private residence? If you have any questions, you can summon me to your office to discuss it. I personally respect Minister Liu. As for you, you have to find the right time and the right person to flatter. If you keep whining, get out of here. It's not your turn to act like a boss here!"

Tang Xiaobao retorted forcefully.

Liu Yan's face flushed red, and before he could say anything else, Liu Jun snorted coldly, "Secretary Liu, get out!"

"I--"

Liu Yan felt extremely aggrieved.

"I said, get out now and wait outside the manor."

Liu Jun said sternly.

Liu Yan left unhappily.

"Mr. Tang, I'm sorry, I was so rude."

Minister Liu apologized to Tang Xiaobao.

Tang Xiaobao smiled and said, "Minister Liu, you are too polite."

"But have you really thought it through and made up your mind? Otherwise, let's discuss it again. After all, this is a big deal."

Liu Jun patiently advised

Tang Xiaobao waved his hand: "I've made up my mind. If Minister Liu has any ideas, we can discuss it privately later. How about that?"

He also gave Minister Liu enough face.

Minister Liu hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Okay, let's talk about it later."

Paul Karl finally reacted. He stared at Tang Xiaobao and asked, "You mean, you don't want this award, but you accept the challenge?"

"That's right. Isn't this what you want? I don't care about giving this award to the person you like. I can't do things that seek fame and reputation. I like to do practical things. If they want to challenge me, I will accept it." Tang Xiaobao said coldly.

"Okay, okay, okay, this is what you said, then we will be waiting for you."

Paul Carr stood up to leave.

"Goodbye."

Tang Xiaobao waved his hand: "No need to see you off."

As soon as Paul Karl left, Minister Liu couldn't help but sighed: "Mr. Tang, you are confused."

Tang Xiaobao shrugged nonchalantly and said with a smile, "Minister Liu, I'm sober. What are you talking about?"

Minister Liu sighed and said, "This is the Nobel Prize in Medicine. How many scientists around the world go through life without even winning one? You're still so young, and this is incredibly important for your future. Furthermore, our country needs this award. Honestly, the ministry held a meeting to discuss this before you came. We're going to hype your acceptance of the award. I'm sure you'll be featured on Xinwen Lianbo and Focus Interview, and you'll even have a column in the Huaxia Daily. Your refusal has disrupted all our plans."

"You value it, and I used to value it too, but can't you tell? This award was given to me, or did he help me? I can't accept this. They look down on Chinese Traditional Medicine, right? Then I'll prove it to them. They want a challenge, fine, I'll accept it. What's the problem with that? I hope Chinese Medicine will rise, but not in this way. I will use a better way to promote Chinese Traditional Medicine. Minister Liu, am I wrong?"
