Siheyuan: The prosperous era starting from being a doctor

Chapter 473 The Voice of China and the 'God' of the Medical Community

Guang'anmen.

Family housing of the Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

The two little girls felt like they couldn't see enough of the sights as soon as they entered the living room.

The apartment layouts that Wang Mengde helped design for his family housing may have become commonplace in later generations, with many ordinary families having similar layouts.

But in an era when very few people could even live in a "tube-shaped building," it was quite astonishing.

In fact, many organizations had heard before that the residential buildings of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine were well-built.

They once sent people over to learn from their experience.

Unfortunately, while the visitors liked the apartment design, it was rejected by their respective department heads after they returned home.

No organization has the financial and material resources to build such good staff housing.

In their view, this was simply too wasteful.

The building has six floors, but one of its units has only twenty-four households.

In other words, there are only four households on one floor of a building.

This is completely inconsistent with the current design of tenement buildings.

In a tenement building, there are at least ten or more households on each floor, and it is not uncommon for even more than twenty households to live in one unit.

Most importantly, in the staff quarters of the Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, regardless of how many rooms each household has, there is a separate bathroom and toilet.

This is completely different from the current trend of several households sharing one bathroom and one kitchen.

In the eyes of many leaders, this is simply too wasteful.

If we could save on those separate kitchens and bathrooms, we could have several more single rooms.

therefore.

After that gust of wind passed, those units continued to build dormitory-style apartment buildings.

However, the staff quarters of the Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine became famous within a certain area.

Many people mention this place with envy when they talk about houses.

They said that living in such an apartment building in the future would be the true meaning of modern life.

Even the leaders of various organizations and sizable factories were amazed by the housing, so it's no wonder that Zhao Yali and Feng Panpan were bewildered by it.

After looking at the layout of the house, I noticed the furniture inside.

Whether it's the sofa, the brand-new wardrobe, or the sewing machine in the corner, everything reflects the family's wealth.

The television and radio covered with a red cloth on the table were especially enviable.

Television is currently a rare commodity in China.

Even in the capital, most people had never seen it before.

noon.

The food on the table was an eye-opener for Feng Panpan.

Although the classic Shandong dishes such as braised pork intestines and braised sea cucumber with scallions that my good friend had mentioned before did not appear.

But the table had eight dishes, including fish, meat, chicken, and eggs, making it far more abundant than most people's New Year's Eve dinner.

Not to mention the meat dishes, the portions were enormous, with oil floating all over the bowls and plates.

Even the vegetarian dishes tasted like they were stir-fried with lard.

This meal.

The two girls ate until their bellies were round.

At first, the two of them were a little reserved, trying to be mindful of their image.

But Ran Xiaomei and He Shengnan couldn't resist picking up food together, and their rice bowls were piled high.

Later, when Zhao Yali and Feng Panpan were halfway through their meal, they relaxed and ate all the meat and vegetables in their bowls without hesitation.

Back at my place.

After Wang Yuanchao returned, there were no outsiders left.

Feng Panpan rubbed her stomach and said with an envious look:

"Yali, you're so lucky to have found a boyfriend from such a good family background."

"If you and Wang Yuanchao get married in the future, you'll definitely have a very happy life together."

to be frank.

Ever since she learned that Wang Mengde was her colleague's older brother, she had had some suspicions.

But I never expected my family to be so well-off.

At lunch, she didn't just eat meat; she also observed other foods.

The final conclusion was that the Wang family must have eaten meat frequently.

Therefore, with so much meat and vegetables on the table, adults might be able to tolerate it in other families, but children would definitely fight over it.

But Wang Mengde's family was different.

Whether adults or children, everyone ate in a very relaxed manner, without fighting or grabbing.

At the same time, the children ate vegetables more often than meat.

This proves that their family's standard of living should be quite high.

I wouldn't say I eat meat every meal, but it's possible I could have it every three to five days, and there would be plenty of meat.

"Panpan, you're one to talk! Didn't your auntie just say she was going to introduce you to someone?"

She knows quite a few families with good financial conditions; maybe she can find someone from a similar background.

Zhao Yali blushed and said softly.

Ran Xiaomei also really liked Feng Panpan. If it weren't for the fact that her youngest son, Wang Weiguo, didn't feel the same way, she would have wanted to bring the two of them together.

However, through later conversations, he was very proactive in trying to introduce her to potential partners.

“That’s different. I know my own situation. If I can find an ordinary family, have enough to eat and drink, and have a small house to live in, I’ll be satisfied.”

Feng Panpan shook her head.

She is the rational type; even her teenage fantasies are realistic, and she never dreams beyond the truth.

The United States of America.

The World Health Assembly is about to convene in one day.

The Chinese delegation also submitted its prepared speech materials to WHO staff for review and safekeeping.

Unlike the League of Nations General Assembly.

At conferences convened by organizations like this, the content of the speeches generally does not involve highly confidential matters, so the countries that speak usually submit their materials in advance as required.

"Comrade Lei Ze, according to the WHO's arrangements, tomorrow afternoon, you will represent China to announce our results in front of representatives from various countries."

Therefore, during this day and a half, you must not leave our comrades' sight, and your food and drink will be subject to strict inspection.

Zhang, the head of the Chinese delegation and also a leader of the relevant department, hurriedly arrived at the hotel, found Lei Ze, and whispered his instructions.

He was very worried ever since he arrived here.

After all, it's within the United States.

Although the two countries broke the ice last year, establishing diplomatic relations and substantive contact.

However, we still have to be wary, because when it comes to ideology and cognition, this country is capable of anything.

"Don't worry, boss. I won't go anywhere today or tomorrow morning. I'll just stay in my hotel room."

Regarding meals, I will follow the arrangements made by the relevant comrades and ensure that no problems arise.

Lei Ze said with a serious expression.

He was given several instructions on his way here.

Understand the seriousness of the matter.

Although Liu Shuwei is a candidate among ordinary staff members, even if something happens to him, it won't delay things.

But he also has to consider his own interests.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If he were to miss the event due to negligence, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

and so.

Even if the leader doesn't mention it to him, he will actively cooperate and do a good job in the relevant protective measures.

that's it.

Every member of the Chinese delegation was on edge, fearing something might go wrong. During the day or so they spent, several groups of people visited their hotel room.

They were all stopped by staff from the relevant departments, and even the cleaning of the guest rooms was taken over by a dedicated person.

Even when Thomas, an old friend of the WHO, came, he did not see Reiser.

It's not that I don't trust the other person, but rather that one should always be wary of others.

Any oversight could lead to irreparable damage.

that's it.

I waited until the afternoon of the next day.

As the meeting drew near to its start time, everything proceeded smoothly without any unexpected incidents.

When Lei Ze stood on the podium, he began to announce the latest research results of China.

Zhang, the head of the Chinese delegation, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

So far, everything has been going smoothly.

Twenty minutes later.

When Razer finished speaking the last word, the representatives from various countries below the stage all looked solemn.

They didn't expect it.

This time, China actually dropped such a huge 'nuclear bomb' at the WHO conference.

I was so shocked that I was completely bewildered and didn't know how to ask a question for a long time.

The representative from the United States reacted quickly, speaking first while the other representatives were still pondering:
"Dear Mr. Lei Ze, was this achievement researched under the leadership of Mr. Wang Mengde from China?"

Upon hearing his question, representatives from most other countries also realized what he meant.

Immediately afterward, they pricked up their ears and listened carefully, afraid of missing a single word.

"Yes, this achievement was made by Comrade Wang Mengde and his team."

Razer said with certainty.

As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion broke out in the hall.

The representatives from each country wore solemn and worried expressions.

Unexpectedly, such a serious infectious disease has broken out in Africa.

Especially those countries that are open to the outside world, their faces turned ashen.

This infectious disease called HIV can be transmitted rapidly through sexual contact.

The representative from China just said that even if it's only once, the probability of infection is extremely high, and there's basically no way to escape it.

Even with condoms, with current technology, there is still a small chance of infection.

At the same time, this virus can also spread rapidly through blood.

How should we prevent infection in patients who need blood transfusions in the future?

"Mr. Lei Ze, did Mr. Wang Mengde say how to prevent this virus, and how to detect it?"

At this time.

The representative from the United States couldn't wait to ask the question again.

Their country is one of the most developed and chaotic.

Once the HIV virus spreads in the United States, it will likely spread widely.

In particular, many people at the bottom of society will be the hardest hit.

Normally, the lives and deaths of these people would not be of concern to them as an elite group.

However, if it becomes too widespread, it can also affect the security of the middle and upper classes.

So I have to guard against it.

"Because the research period is too short, there are no other results yet."

However, Comrade Wang Mengde has already given a direction: a testing method for this virus may emerge in the future.

As for the specific timing, it's hard to say. We can only say that our China Association will study it as soon as possible.

I had anticipated that someone would ask this question before we even set off, so Razer answered it smoothly.

Next.

Representatives from many countries also raised some questions.

When asked about general questions, Razer would give a brief answer.

He avoids discussing anything confidential or sensitive.

Although the research findings on the HIV virus have been published, some key details still cannot be disclosed.

Otherwise, if other countries acquire it, they may be able to overtake us by taking a shortcut.

finally.

Hua Guo's speech lasted more than an hour longer than originally planned.

Even with this unexpected turn of events, the leaders of the World Health Organization were not angry.

On the contrary, they would love for more similar situations to occur in the future.

This would greatly enhance the WHO's visibility and authority.

Moreover, it was the first time an infectious virus had been discovered, which served as a wake-up call for most countries around the world, giving them an opportunity to prepare.

a few days later.

The World Health Assembly has concluded successfully.

This time, China emerged as the biggest winner, making its voice heard, and Lei Ze's name spread throughout the medical communities of various countries.

Some people even regard him as an expert in China who has inherited Wang Mengde's mantle.

Many developed countries are even trying to poach their employees.

Since we can't bring down Wang Mengde, it wouldn't be bad to find his successor.

Even if these countries only possess one-eleventh of the medical expertise, they won't lose money; on the contrary, they can make a fortune.

However, all of these people were turned away by the relevant department staff and could not even see Lei Ze.

Surprisingly, the representatives of the United States, accompanied by Thomas and Carter, arrived at a hotel in China.

"Hello Mr. Zhang, this is Mr. Gordon, the representative of the United States. He would like to have a talk with you."

Thomas said with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

Despite being a mid-level staff member at the WHO, he will become one of the senior executives in the future.

But in the face of the United States, it is worthless.

When the other party approached him, he could only agree to help make the connection without any hesitation or refusal.

Otherwise, he might not have seen the sun rise the next day.

"Oh, it's Mr. Gordon. Please have a seat."

Commander Zhang's expression remained unchanged; instead, he gestured for the other party to sit down.

Since he was approached by Thomas and his companion, he would naturally give them some face.

After all, Thomas and Carter did help China a lot.

"That's right. Actually, we knew about your country's speech yesterday, but we only noticed that Mr. Wang Mengde's name was mentioned."

Out of respect for this "God" of the medical community, we changed our original thoughts and plans.

Gordon was very frank from the start and told the truth.

After hearing his words, Commander Zhang suddenly realized why there had been no movement; it turned out to be for this reason.

Unexpectedly, the upper echelons of the United States held Comrade Wang Mengde in such high esteem, even referring to him as the 'God' of the medical community.

In fact, many Chinese people, including their superiors, are unaware of this.

Just how influential was Wang Mengde abroad?

Many ordinary people may have only heard of this name by chance.

However, he is a well-known figure in high-ranking political and business circles.

It can be said that everyone knows it.

Many powerful, wealthy, and influential people are terrified that they might contract a terminal illness and be beyond cure.

Now that we have Wang Mengde, he can cure many diseases that are considered incurable abroad, which provides a guarantee for everyone.
