Chapter 648: Tit-for-tat, a show of strength
Lu Yingxue bit her lips tightly.
Her back was stiff and she felt resentful.
My father has been in charge of the Chinese Medicine Association for decades. Who has ever questioned this issue?
As the Lu family's reputation in the imperial capital grew, the directors had not asked such questions for many years, tacitly accepting that she could exercise the power of the president on behalf of her father.
Even Vice President Lin Chunsheng had no objection, so what basis does a newly appointed vice president with no foundation have?
Qiao Xi asked again: "Director Lu, please answer my question.
Are those regulations fake? As the daughter of President Lu, you have entered the leadership of the association, and we have not even asked family members to avoid suspicion. I want to ask you, on what basis do you take over the responsibilities of the president? "
Based on what?
"Is it because you are Lu Bannong's daughter? Which rule can replace blood relationship? Is the Chinese Medicine Association a hereditary system? Then what is the meaning of the needle test conference?"
Qiao Xi's questioning seemed to lift a layer of fog.
Those regulations that have been suppressed by the authority of Lu Bannong for decades and obscured by power.
Initially, the directors also had opinions, but gradually they were suppressed, numb, and accustomed to it. Now it has become a matter of course and no one questions this issue anymore.
Not even a thought.
Being brought up suddenly was like a heavy hammer hitting my heart, awakening me after a long absence.
Surprisingly, there are people in the Chinese Medicine Association who are working against the Lu family.
"That does make sense." Shen Xuanzhi chimed in, "I didn't know the Chinese Medicine Association was founded by the Lu family. If I had known in advance, I wouldn't have come. It's meaningless. It turns out that the Chinese Medicine Association is a hereditary system. The Lu family really has a throne to inherit."
Lu Yingxue clenched her teeth tightly, her cheeks slightly flushed.
She held back her anger.
Qiao Xi and Shen Xuanzhi embarrassed her so much as soon as they arrived, and even went beyond the management regulations to target her.
Lu Yingxue's chest heaved with anger. After she calmed down slowly, she began to speak.
"The Chinese Medicine Association is jointly managed by everyone. It's just that my father is not here, so I am used to presiding over it. It is indeed not in compliance with the regulations. Since Dr. Qiao has proposed it, you should take charge of the overall situation. But you don't know the directors of the association very well, and you are not very familiar with the affairs of the association."
Qiao Xi smiled softly, "First of all, within the association, you should address me by my position. You should address me as Vice President Qiao, not Doctor Qiao.
Second, I am not familiar with the internal affairs of the association, so I will not take on too much responsibility. Can Vice President Lin continue to preside over the regular meetings? "
She looked at Lin Chunsheng.
Lin Chunsheng is about the same age as Lu Bangnong, and has a leisurely temperament.
He was called, and after a moment of silence, he said, "That's fine, no problem."
"Then I'll trouble you."
Qiao Xi originally didn't want to come into conflict with Lu Yingxue within the association so soon, but the other party wanted to intimidate her first.
She wasn't polite either.
Qiao Xi looked at Lu Yingxue who was standing in the chair and said, "Please go back to your seat."
Lu Yingxue felt humiliated.
She had her position of vice president taken away by Qiao Xi, and then she was driven out of the position of president by her.
After being praised by the people of the capital for so many years, it is really hard to accept this kind of gap.
She quickly walked back to her seat and sat down with a bit of dissatisfaction on her face.
Everyone knew that she was unhappy, and it was quite rare to see Lu Yingxue looking unhappy.
It seems that the Chinese Medicine Association will be very active in the future.
Vice President Lin Chunsheng sat in the chairman's seat.
Qiao Xi asked again whether she could visit patients with difficult and complicated diseases within the association.
Most of these patients have no home, or their families cannot afford to continue their treatment. It can be said that the association is their home. The one who has stayed here the longest is Ms. Cheng.
She has lived in the Chinese Medicine Association for more than 20 years, using the Chinese medicinal materials provided by the association, and no family members have come to see her.
She rarely shows up. Only the TCM warriors in their seventies and eighties from the Supervisory Group had seen her for the first time at the last trial meeting, and they were somewhat unsure of her identity.
"Vice President Lin, we should also have the right to treat these patients with difficult and complicated diseases. After the last trial meeting, I went back and reviewed it carefully. I have a new treatment plan that I want to try."
Lin Chunsheng nodded: "That's a good idea."
But Lu Yingxue disagreed: "What do you think of the patient? Do you want to use her as an experiment? Try to say such things."
Qiao Xi retorted: "Does Director Lu have to evaluate whether he is completely sure before seeing any patient? If not, does he refuse to treat? No one can guarantee that the disease can be cured. So why not try? I am a Chinese medicine practitioner. I remember my responsibilities and I also deeply abide by medical ethics. The safety of the patient is always the first priority. Don't worry."
Lin Chunsheng agreed: "Yingxue, I think what Vice President Qiao said is right. We haven't had much contact with Ms. Cheng. If your father hadn't brought her out at the needle trial conference, we wouldn't have known about her. If we can make a big breakthrough in narcolepsy, it will be very helpful for the development of traditional Chinese medicine."
Vice President Lin has no internal struggles in his mind, only medical skills and the future of traditional Chinese medicine, and he devotes himself to research.
He was very interested in the new treatment plan Qiao Xi mentioned and hoped that she would succeed.
"Why don't we just vote? Although this is a small matter, there are new voices within the association, so we should still be fair."
Vice President Lin also took into account Lu Yingxue's objection and decided to vote.
"good."
Lu Yingxue's anger subsided a little. "But this Ms. Cheng is my father's... the president's patient. If anything goes wrong later, we won't be able to explain it."
This is a hint to others not to get involved.
Vice President Lin said helplessly: "Let's start the vote now."
Qiao Xi paused and said, "Let's vote anonymously. Perhaps some seniors are not good at expressing their true thoughts. In order to prevent the handwriting from identifying the identity, if you agree that Ms. Cheng should accept the new plan, please circle it on the paper. If you disagree, you don't need to write anything.
I believe that we are all very professional Chinese medicine practitioners, and it is rare to meet a patient with narcolepsy in this life. I hope to focus all our efforts to help Ms. Cheng recover. This will also allow our association to be proud of itself, after all, narcolepsy is a difficult problem that has not been solved in the West. "
Qiao Xi's words made many older Chinese medicine practitioners feel excited.
Comparing Chinese and Western medicine, Chinese medicine is always criticized.
When have you ever felt proud of yourself?
"Then let's vote anonymously." Vice President Lin also vaguely favored Qiao Xi's suggestion. He asked his assistant to prepare papers and distribute them.
Then, please let the directors decide.
Lu Yingxue leaned back in the leather chair, her arms folded across her chest, her willow-leaf eyes glancing at Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi met her gaze, a thin, cold smile flashed across her eyes, and then she drew a circle on the paper in front of her.
Fold the paper and drop it into the ballot box.
