Chapter 1044 Extra 42: National Medical Medal
The auditorium was very quiet.
There was not even the sound of a chair being moved.
According to the conference process, the first person to speak is the top leader.
Next came the President of the Chinese Medicine Association and the elected representative, Mr. Xiao Zhuan.
The speech was long, but no one found it boring.
Qiao Xi looked at the stage attentively and listened to everyone's prospects for the future of traditional Chinese medicine. She suddenly began to have some ambitions.
She felt that she had not done enough.
The Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall in Haicheng can do better and help more people.
After Xiao Zhuan finished speaking, it was Shen Xuanzhi's turn to take over the microphone. "Thank you all for coming to our National Medicine Commendation Conference. Thank you for your contributions to the development of Chinese medicine and social stability. Now we would like to invite Minister Wang to announce the recipients of this National Medicine Medal."
This Minister Wang is an official.
He looked to be in his fifties and was quite handsome.
"I am very happy to see you all here. Thank you for coming. I am also honored to be invited to participate in this National Medicine Recognition Conference and to witness a heavyweight medal being awarded from my hands. Traditional Chinese medicine is a treasure of our country for 5,000 years and has brought many conveniences to our lives. In ancient times, it was through word of mouth and practice from generation to generation that a rich treasure was accumulated. The traditional Chinese medicine community attaches great importance to inheritance..."
Minister Wang spoke passionately.
"Today I feel the power of inheritance even more. The recipient of the Medal of National Medicine at this National Medicine Commendation Conference is Ms. Qiao Xi!"
There was thunderous applause.
"You are welcome."
All the cameras were focused on Qiao Xi. Qiao Xi stood up with a slight smile on her lips.
She walked slowly to the front of the auditorium and stood next to Minister Wang.
"Ms. Qiao Xi, thank you for your great contribution to the Chinese medicine community. Many years ago, when I first started working, I had the honor of attending Mr. Cheng Han's medal awarding ceremony. I still remember that scene, and I never thought that many years later I would have the opportunity to present an award to his apprentice. Mr. Cheng and you are both excellent Chinese medicine practitioners. I look forward to you bringing more surprises to the Chinese medicine community in the future."
Minister Wang solemnly handed the medal to Qiao Xi.
Cold to the touch.
Qiao Xi held the medal in her hands, feeling a little sour in her throat.
Even though I knew the news a long time ago, I still feel overwhelmed when I actually stand here, and there are many things I don’t know how to say.
"Thank you... Thank you everyone..."
Qiao Xi's eyes turned red. "I feel a little ashamed standing here. Compared to many seniors who have been working day in and day out for ten years, I have only been in the industry for a short time. But I am grateful to everyone for giving me this opportunity. I will work harder in the future."
"I will do better."
Master, I won't let you down.
Her eyes were moist.
Huo Xingzhou, who was standing in the audience, looked at her affectionately, with only her reflection in his eyes. He kept clapping and looking at her with admiration and pride.
This is his salvation!
It was the treasure he found!
This is his pride!
This is his wife, the one who has walked with him all his life.
This is Qiao Xi.
Zhong Yi beside him was smiling. He seemed to see the young girl holding her head high and saying, "I must become the best Chinese medicine practitioner."
Now, she seems to have really done it.
That's amazing!
His chest was rumbling, too.
Feng Nanxi glanced sideways and noticed Zhong Yi's mood, but she no longer felt any envy.
The friendship between him and Qiao Xi is genuine and enviable.
And she may be able to have the love she loves in the future.
There is still a long way to go.
…
In front of the TV, the Liu family members who were watching the National Medical Recognition Conference couldn't help wiping the tears from their eyes.
"It's not easy! It's really not easy. Xixi was able to get to this point on her own. I wonder how much hardship she has put in behind the scenes! She is the youngest recipient of the Medal of National Medicine."
Liu Huimin cried out loudly, "If I hadn't lost her, she wouldn't have suffered so much!"
Liu Zongquan waved his hand and said, "Today, all jewelry stores of the Liu family are selling at a 50% discount!"
"Then I can't fall behind. I have to donate ten tons of Chinese medicinal materials to the poor counties and towns." Xu Yunye said with a smile.
They are all very happy.
"We have to hold a party! Qiao Xi hasn't come back yet, so we can celebrate on our own and invite relatives and friends to get together! Let them all know how hardworking our girl is!"
"right!"
Qiao's Chinese Medicine Clinic also received a round of cheers.
When the dust settled, they felt that Dr. Qiao was indeed so amazing! He was indeed the new generation of Chu Chu, with extraordinary talent!
And outside the Imperial Capital Grand Hall.
A thin woman was cleaning the dirt on the street outside the auditorium with a mop in her hand. Her eyes seemed to have been precipitated by the years and had lost their youthful agility.
I looked up at the huge light screen in the square not far away, which was playing the National Medical Awards Ceremony over and over again.
The scene where Qiao Xi was holding the medal.
She couldn't help but tighten her grip on the mop in her hand, her heart filled with sadness and grief.
The National Medical Recognition Conference ended after the awarding of medals.
Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou did not stay. They accepted a brief interview from a media outlet and then walked out of the auditorium.
"I asked Lao Chen to drive the car. We will be there soon."
Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi stood at the bottom of the stairs and spoke softly.
"We have to leave quickly. I can't handle this kind of situation. Those people are too enthusiastic..." Qiao Xi was still feeling a bit nervous.
She likes to do research quietly and save lives.
However, his talent in socializing has not improved at all.
"As long as you want to leave, you can go back to Haicheng tomorrow."
"That won't work. I promised the kids that I would play with them for two days."
"Don't be afraid. Those people are just enthusiastic for a while. They will return to normal after this period of time. You said before that you would accept a group of people to the Chinese medicine clinic in Haicheng. You can also take advantage of these two days to select whether there are suitable people and bring them back together. You will be much more relaxed and the Chinese medicine clinic can see more patients."
"Well, you're right."
Qiao Xi held Huo Xingzhou's hand and smiled brightly.
She felt a gaze that could not be ignored falling on her, and she looked over according to her intuition, only to see a woman in cleaner's clothes. As if she was afraid of being discovered, she quickly turned around and started cleaning with a mop again.
Looks a bit flustered.
The profile that flashed by made Qiao Xi feel a little familiar.
She walked over quickly, but Huo Xingzhou stopped her.
"What?"
Qiao Xi shook her head. "Nothing. I just thought it was a little strange and wanted to go take a look."
The man looked at her strangely.
Huo Xingzhou's eyes were deep, "The car is coming."
"oh."
Qiao Xi didn't bother any more and got into the car with Huo Xingzhou.
As the car was driving, Qiao Xi passed by the woman in the cleaner's clothes, and only then did she see the person's face clearly.
She felt a sense of sadness and the passage of time.
