"It's the one we had after the Chinese New Year this year. Didn't you go there to take pictures?" Li Wenxuan gestured to his fiancée.

"Oh, I know, it's that card that made me look so ugly."

Wang Yueyue couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

“Exactly, how could that photo make someone look so bad? They don’t look like themselves at all,” Ding Qiunan echoed.

Indeed, the photos on the first-generation ID cards were somewhat abstract; it's unclear whether this was due to technical limitations or something else.

Things got a little better with the second-generation ID card.

Now that we have this, it's much more convenient to go out. However, if you're a couple traveling together, you still need to bring your marriage certificate, otherwise you won't be able to stay in the same room at a guesthouse.

After breakfast, Wang Yueyue rode her bicycle home to visit her mother who was on vacation, while Li Wenxuan came with her to the hospital to continue seeing patients at the outpatient clinic.

Li Chu had nothing to do today, so she accompanied her son in the outpatient hall.

Although Li Wenxuan has now passed the main hospital's assessment and is qualified to practice medicine, Li Chu has not yet given him individual prescription rights.

He's always here when he's not busy. If he's not here, Wenxuan writes a prescription and asks Director Zhao from the Traditional Chinese Medicine department next door to review it first. Only if Director Zhao approves will it be given to the patient.

This is both a responsible approach to the patient and a way to protect Wenxuan.

Through personally guiding Wenxuan over the past two years, Li Chu has finally witnessed the power of that inherited skill.

That skill doesn't just speed up the learner's learning; it's as if it seals the inherited skill directly into the learner's mind.

After a little learning, the relevant information will appear in the recipient's mind, just like you have learned it.

Li Chu sometimes thinks that if he had inherited this skill back then, he might not have been whipped with a rattan cane by his master so often.

Sitting next to Li Wenxuan, watching him calmly communicate with the patient, take his pulse, and prescribe medicine, without a trace of the impetuousness of someone who was only twenty-two years old, Li Chu couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Putting everything else aside, just his demeanor alone suggests he was born to work in traditional Chinese medicine.

The curtain was lifted, breaking the silence in the consultation room. Li Wenxuan, who was immersed in taking the patient's pulse, frowned and glanced in the direction of the door.

Standing at the door was an officer from the medical affairs office. Upon seeing this, Li Chu stood up and walked over.

"Dean Li, the headquarters duty room wants you to make a call back to the leadership."

Now?

"They just said as soon as possible."

"Okay, I understand."

After the medical affairs officer left, Li Chu didn't rush back to his office to return the call. Instead, he waited for Li Wenxuan to finish seeing the patient and writing the prescription before leaving.

"Boss, this is Li Chu. I was a little delayed at the outpatient clinic. Did you want to see me?" As soon as he got back to his office, Li Chu dialed the number.

...

"What did you say? You want me to take the medics to the parade?"

...

"No, no, boss, I can't do that."

...

"It's not that I'm refusing. As you know, I went there as a logistics observer. I can't steal the limelight from the field doctors and medics. I think they are the ones who truly deserve this glorious moment."

...

"Boss, don't you know me? I may have many bad habits, but I would never lie."

...

"Yes, just give me a few tickets so I can bring my family to sit in the viewing platform."

...

"Okay, thank you, boss. I'll come pick it up from you another day."

...

After hanging up the phone, Li Chu couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

His superiors invited him to participate in the military parade, which was completely unexpected.

This year's National Day military parade is the largest since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The troops participating in the parade had already gathered around Beijing last month and started training.

Moreover, that strategic force will make its first public appearance.

If he remembers correctly, the next military parade after this one will be in 1999.

As a soldier, he certainly wanted to participate in such a sacred moment, but he really didn't want to steal the limelight from the field medics and the medics who risked their lives on the front lines.

He would be content as long as he could sit on the viewing platform and watch the ceremony on that day.

He didn't stay in the office for long before returning to the outpatient clinic.

...

“Conrad, why didn’t you invite Lee yesterday? I remember you said you wanted to give it a try.”

In a small conference room next to the laboratory of this West German pharmaceutical company at the base.

"Haven't you noticed that although Li seems very amiable in his speech and interactions with others, he actually has a kind of arrogance in his bones, the arrogance of a successor of ancient medical skills from a culturally rich country."

Over the past two years, our five companies have consulted numerous traditional Chinese medicine doctors, whether they are Chinese Americans or Chinese working in China. Have you seen Li stop them?

Bell sighed and slowly shook his head. This was also something he couldn't understand. If he hadn't actually seen the effects, he would have really doubted that the formula was fake.

You say that Western medicine can't figure it out, and he has no choice but to believe it now, but even a doctor who is also a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine can't figure it out, which makes him a little puzzled.

How exactly did they pass down their traditional Chinese medicine?

Does that mean everyone learns different things?

But even if they are different, they shouldn't be this far apart, right?

“That’s his confidence,” Conrad continued. “It’s like his secret skill, which he will pass on to his children, but he certainly won’t share it with outsiders.”

We are completely helpless right now. I have talked with the heads of four other companies, and we all agree that it's best not to offend someone like Li if possible.

"Maybe one day we'll have to come here ourselves, and they'll have long since dropped all those underhanded tactics they used."

Bell curled his lip in disdain upon hearing his words: "Hmph~ It's not just because they don't want to offend Lee, is it? They probably already know everything we can find out. Lee has been to the battlefield."

"Those doctors who've seen real combat, not the kind stuck in rear hospitals—they think they can cause trouble for someone who's come back from the battlefield alive? What a joke!"

Conrad gave a wry smile. Yes, that was a crucial factor. It wasn't easy to find two people in this country willing to help them, and they couldn't afford to waste their time.

"Alright, Bell, let's not talk about this anymore. Go tell the gentlemen and ladies in the lab that we'll reinstall the equipment for them and then we can go home."

God's Arrival

"Hoo~~" Bell whistled: "I'm sure this news will make them cheer."
