Cheng You smiled and appeased, "Even if we argue right and wrong with him, what's the point? There's no need to waste time on it."
On the other side, Academician Wang also saw this and asked in a low voice, "Teacher Ye, what is this for?"
The teacher Ye smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a student. I'm teaching her."
Academician Wang didn't suspect anything and said, "The next topic is about Mu Xi grass. Be sure to take good notes and avoid any mistakes."
"Teacher, I know."
After a while, the host came on stage and began the announcements.
The first to come on stage were researchers from the Botanical Research Institute. Everyone knew that only they in Yan City had Mu Xi grass, so they were naturally the most knowledgeable.
Everyone listened intently, wishing they had more than one head to take notes.
About an hour passed, and the forum was more than halfway through.
After the Botanical Research Institute's team left the stage, the host continued the announcements and invited Han Shaohua to the stage.
Zhen Shan Tang, Han Shaohua – these were unfamiliar names.
Everyone looked confused, wondering where this pharmacy had come from.
When they heard the topic was "Methods of Mu Xi Grass Cuttings," the entire hall erupted in an uproar.
Pei Kesheng's eyeballs nearly popped out, and he gritted his teeth, "Impossible!"
This single word, "impossible," was filled with his unwillingness.
That was Mu Xi grass; how could Zhen Shan Tang understand cuttings?
Han Shaohua clenched his fists, his palms sweating, his voice trembling with nervousness.
But the audience was completely engrossed, paying no attention to his minor flaws.
After speaking on stage for a while, Han Shaohua gradually settled down.
He had prepared thoroughly, and following his rehearsal, the presentation went very smoothly.
During a pause, Academician Wang raised his hand and asked, "Are there any successful cases?"
He had waited for too long and was so excited that his face turned red. Even though it was impolite, he couldn't help but ask.
Han Shaohua smiled and nodded, "The question you've raised is precisely what I planned to demonstrate next. I've brought the successfully cut Mu Xi grass."
Immediately, someone carried the Mu Xi grass onto the stage.
Han Shaohua knew that no amount of talking could be as convincing as the Mu Xi grass itself.
Even though they had seen the successfully cut Mu Xi grass from Zhao Jisheng, the researchers from the Botanical Research Institute were still extremely excited.
Academician Wang longed to go on stage for a closer look, clenching his fingers and watching the stage without blinking.
Teacher Su had already seen what Han Shaohua was explaining and understood it clearly.
A surge of pride filled her chest; this was a method summarized by her student!
Another half an hour passed, and Han Shaohua's presentation concluded.
The next topic was originally scheduled to begin, but so many people had questions that time had to be extended.
Han Shaohua looked at Chen Qin, feeling helpless. These questions were too professional for him to answer.
Teacher Ye expressed doubt about his performance, "What's going on? He seems to know nothing."
Academician Wang explained, "Perhaps he's just too nervous."
Teacher Ye didn't think so. Han Shaohua was so young and didn't seem like someone who could have researched the method of cuttings.
"Has he reached adulthood? He looks so young, not like a university student."
Academician Wang actually felt the same way; the boy looked very young.
Before he could voice his opinion, Teacher Ye asked, "Is this cutting method definitely your achievement?"
Han Shaohua calmly replied, "No, it's from the boss of our Zhen Shan Tang."
Teacher Ye thought, as expected, "Then let your boss from Zhen Shan Tang explain it to us."
Han Shaohua had intended to do just that, as he couldn't answer the upcoming questions.
"Certainly. Let Sister Cheng You explain it to everyone then."
He gave Cheng You a look, and Cheng You nodded slightly, then stood up and walked onto the stage.
Qiu Yingxun's eyes were bloodshot. If only the person on stage, receiving all the attention, were him.
Academician Wang glanced at the stiff-faced Teacher Ye and asked, "What a coincidence, you were just talking to her. Truly a promising youth."
Teacher Ye thought of the words he had just said to Cheng You and his face burned.
He didn't even respond to Academician Wang's words, lost in his shame.
Cheng You did not repeat the points Han Shaohua had made. Instead, she invited questions from the audience, and she would answer them.
For almost every question, she would pause for two to three seconds before calmly and systematically explaining.
Her vocabulary was more professional than Han Shaohua's, and her delivery was more organized, solving every question with ease.
The method of Mu Xi grass cuttings gradually became a clear network in everyone's minds.
Unfortunately, they didn't have Mu Xi grass to experiment with.
Cheng You glanced at the time. She couldn't talk any longer, or the next topic wouldn't be able to proceed.
"Let's conclude here for now. If you have any further questions, we can discuss them another day."
Someone, still eager for more, quickly asked, "Boss Cheng, where can we find you? Zhen Shan Tang?"
Cheng You smiled and said, "I am a second-year student of Traditional Chinese Medicine, specializing in TCM pharmacy. That Teacher Su Jinwen is my homeroom teacher. If you have any questions, you can inform my teacher in advance, and she will relay them."
At once, everyone's gaze shifted to Su Jinwen, and they began praising her for her excellent teaching.
Su Jinwen, having lived for most of her life, had never been so happy. Her face was radiant as she humbly accepted the compliments.
Qiu Yingxun found it grating and got up and strode out.
Finally, Cheng You added, "I will be distributing a sprig of Mu Xi grass to everyone present today for you to experiment with at home. As for the detailed information, the People's Daily will publish it soon, including targeted answers to the questions raised today. You can look out for it then."
This act was to make the method of Mu Xi grass cuttings public knowledge, without any reservation.
Someone in the audience asked her why she was doing this.
Cheng You pondered for a moment, then her lips curved into a smile, and she said, "Perhaps it's because my husband is a soldier, and I want to help him protect this country that he guards."
Academician Wang's eyes gleamed with admiration. "She's a good child."
Teacher Ye was also pleased, but felt ashamed that he had rejected Cheng You's question earlier.
"Teacher, Cheng You came to see you at noon today, likely wanting to ask a question, but I turned her away."
Academician Wang showed displeasure, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Teacher Ye gave a wry smile, "It was my narrow-mindedness."
Fortunately, there was still a chance. After the last topic forum ended, Academician Wang eagerly went to find Cheng You.
But he wasn't the only one looking for Cheng You. So many people surrounded her that he couldn't even see her.
It wasn't until ten o'clock at night when Qi Chengyan came to pick her up that she was able to leave, exhausted.
Unable to push through the crowd, Academician Wang turned to Old Master Yun, hoping he would introduce them.
Old Master Yun smiled and stroked his beard, "Then you've come to the right person. Come find me at the military district later."
