After a video of Yu Gangan saving someone was posted online, a lot of news sources began to report on it. As a result, not only did Yu Gangan blow up in popularity, acupuncture also became a trending topic.
The organizers of the seminar found out about this and specifically gave Elder Huang a phone call. They told him that he had good taste in people and praised that he always picked the best people.
While they were on the phone, they also requested for Yu Gangan to appear on a medical television program. They wanted to make her into the new generation leader of Chinese medicine, an advocate in Chinese culture, and a promoter of ancient Chinese medicine.
But, Elder Huang never went online.
So, he grabbed his daughter’s phone to check Weibo. That was when he realized what had happened.
That afternoon, during the seminar, Elder Huang spoke to Yu Gangan about going on the program.
But, Yu Gangan smiled and rejected him.
Shooting the brochure cover was already a big enough regret, let alone a television program.
She was willing to try her best at revitalizing Chinese medicine, but, forget about being the new generation leader in the field.
There was always someone better than her.
So, when it came to something as complex as Chinese medicine, it was best for someone that was still studying to avoid appearing arrogant.
Elder Huang did not insist. He simply brushed his hand through his beard and said it was a shame.
But, deep down, he was actually happy.
A good doctor of Chinese medicine couldn’t just rely solely on studying hard. If one wanted to improve their skills, they needed some intelligence and understanding.
People like that were rare.
People that were interested in Chinese medicine, that studied hard, and had the intelligence and understanding, were even rarer.
It wasn’t easy to come across someone that was so reliable, natural and comfortable.
Chinese medicine had a deep and profound culture. To become a good doctor of Chinese medicine, one needed to dedicate their time to serious research.
The younger generation had a long way to go.

During the rest of the seminar, Yu Gangan and Wang Aizhen sat together.
While the two were talking, Xia Chengzhou suddenly sat down on the other side of Wang Aizhen and smiled across at Yu Gangan.
Yu Gangan was a little surprised and curious as she smiled back in response.
When Su Jiushan entered the hall, she subconsciously looked around for Xia Chengzhou.
But, as soon as she saw Xia Chengzhou sitting with Wang Aizhen and Yu Gangan, she was shocked.
Next to her, Xiao Xiaoying clicked her tongue and said, “Senior Xia simply attended a shoot with Yu Gangan. Now they’re so close…”
Su Jiushan did not say a word, but for the rest of the seminar, her expression was dark as ash and her mind was elsewhere.
She did not hear what everyone was discussing nor the information they were exchanging.
The next day was the same. Xia Chengzhou once again sat next to Yu Gangan and Wang Aizhen.
After the seminar, Su Jiushan saw Yu Gangan and Wang Aizhen leave first, so after they were gone, she immediately called out to Xia Chengzhou, “Senior Xia, I have a case that I want to discuss with you. Do you have time?”
Xia Chengzhou glanced at her briefly. After a moment of thought, he replied, “I am busy. I am meeting a friend.”
His rejection caused Su Jiushan to clench the information in her hands so tightly that the tips of her fingers turned white. She could practically crush the sheets of paper into dust.
Busy? Meeting a friend?
She could tell they were lies. Xia Chengzhou was obviously avoiding her.
What kind of tricks did Yu Gangan play during their shoot to make Xia Chengzhou change his attitude towards her?
Was it because of the video of Yu Gangan saving a person?
Why was Senior Xia also blinded by that?
That video was obviously a fake. It was a preplanned marketing stunt. Why didn’t anyone suspect Yu Gangan of creating hype and showing off?
