The people around Old Zhuo hurriedly followed him after he left. As they walked, they kept glancing back at Xiao Yu, speculating about his identity.
They all knew Old Zhuo's status, so who could make Old Zhuo treat them in such a manner This was the focus of their curiosity.
Not only those people but even those around Xiao Yu were staring at him. Xiao Yu remained unaffected by these gazes and calmly resumed sitting where he had been earlier, waiting patiently.
The others who noticed how Xiao Yu behaved also moved away without further ado. After all, the ones attending the anniversary celebration were not ordinary individuals; they either held positions in large hospitals or were under expert guidance with promising futures ahead of them. Thus, soon enough, everyone dispersed.
Xiao Yu was oblivious to it all, but a student-like young man quickly rushed towards the dormitory building upon witnessing everything.
This youth resided in Xiao Yu's former dorm room and came out after Xiao Yu left unexpectedly, clearly hearing their conversation.
Though he didn't recognize this elderly figure, from the mannerism, he sensed that Old Zhuo was no ordinary person. Moreover, it seemed like the old man held Xiao Yu’s medical skills in high regard. As a result, he recalled the pimple-faced male student who had sought help previously.
After Xiao Yu left, this male student put away the prescription without any intention to fetch the medicine. However, if not for Wang Bo's warning, he would have tried it out. But after hearing what Wang Bo said, doubts filled his heart and as Xiao Yu didn't refute it, he believed Wang Bo’s words. Hence, he stored the prescription intending to show a teacher later on, with no real belief in its efficacy.
This student had also heard from the pimple-faced one who was against following this prescription blindly for fear of any adverse effects.
Yet upon seeing this scene unfold earlier, he realized things were not as they seemed. So, he rushed back to inform the pimple-faced male to hurry and fetch the medicine, sensing a rare opportunity had presented itself.
The boy's suffering, he was aware of. Although the people in his dormitory did not嫌棄him, others would gossip about him. He often heard classmates say things like, "Who is so disgusting."
Now that there was this opportunity, it was worth trying. At the very least, he needed to rush to show it to a professor immediately, which was why he hurriedly headed towards the dormitory building.
"Xiao Yu, you're back early" Wei Jun walked over when Xiao Yu was sitting down and addressed him after spotting where he was seated.
"Yeah, I just took a walk around and came back!" Xiao Yu nodded his head in response. Afterward, Wang Chengzhi and the others approached as well. Checking the time, they headed towards the school auditorium.
The College of Traditional Chinese Medicine had organized its 50th anniversary celebration before. At that time, it was due to the small size of their auditorium which could not accommodate everyone, causing a bit of a scandal. Hence, after the alumni gathering, the school decided to expand the auditorium by double.
Fortunately, the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine had a long history and occupied a vast area. Despite many people eyeing the school's land over these years, none succeeded in their attempts. Therefore, there was still space for expansion when it came to building the auditorium.
The new auditorium was built by the school according to the style of the Sydney Opera House due to its recent construction. The interior space was very large.
When Xiao Yu and his group reached the entrance of the auditorium, a dense flow of people were heading in as well. They followed along with the crowd into the auditorium.
After they entered, there were already quite a few people seated inside. The five of them found a corner to sit down and wait. In the morning, mainly school leaders and representatives from each academic year would be attending the anniversary celebration.
At 9:30 AM, with the sound of music playing, the festivities for the university's anniversary began. As the music played, everyone in the auditorium hummed along to its rhythm.
The original music was actually the school song that had existed since shortly after its founding. Once this piece ended, a host walked up front to announce the start of the celebration, beginning with the current president's speech at the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Of course, these speeches also covered the school's past, present, and future, as well as the history of the Traditional Chinese Medicine College. They talked about each renowned doctor and medical professional who graduated from here.The speech continued for over an hour, during which Xiao Yu and his companions were already dozing off in their seats."Now we have the founder of Deep Sea Traditional Chinese Medicine College, Grandpa Zhuo Qingfeng, to give a speech!" After speaking continuously for more than an hour, the president's voice finally stopped. There was a slight pause before he announced it with great enthusiasm and excitement.Indeed, he was excited; everyone knew about Grandpa Zhuo's status. Why couldn't those influential developers move the land of the Traditional Chinese Medicine College It was because of Grandpa Zhuo's existence. As long as Grandpa Zhuo is alive, even the current emperor might not dare to touch this school's land, let alone some mere developers.When these developers tried to use their connections and find acquaintances to buy this piece of land, those leaders who were originally very enthusiastic towards them would turn cold when they heard about the Traditional Chinese Medicine College. They would politely say a few words before leaving under various pretexts.Although these people did not know who was behind the Traditional Chinese Medicine College, they had all received warnings from their superiors that no one should have any designs on it.And now During the 60th anniversary celebration, Grandpa Zhuo actually came here personally. How could he not be excited then Therefore, he wanted to present the best side of the school and leave a good impression on Grandpa Zhuo.It is worth noting that one word from Grandpa Zhuo can compare to any political achievement. Although Grandpa Zhuo was not a national leader and held only the position of General, he was still regarded as a national treasure.Therefore, anyone, even the current emperor, would be polite when meeting Grandpa Zhuo. Back then, Grandpa Zhuo saved countless lives, including numerous founding generals who were all indebted to him. Their descendants are now in high positions and remember Grandpa Zhuo's kindness, thus elevating his status even further."Clap clap clap… Upon hearing the president’s announcement, thunderous applause erupted in the auditorium. The founder of Traditional Chinese Medicine College! What kind of existence is that!!! To be precise, most people here have never seen the founder of Traditional Chinese Medicine College. Only a few elderly people are aware of him and some former presidents know about it as well, but they've only ever met Zhuo family members and not Grandpa Zhuo himself.
After all, Old Master Zhuo has always lived in the capital city and resided on Jade Spring Mountain, a place not easily accessible to ordinary people. If he wishes to visit the school during this 60th anniversary celebration because he might not survive until the next one, it's likely that even the current principal hasn't had the chance to meet him.
At this moment, those sitting in the auditorium who witnessed Old Master Zhuo’s arrival suddenly recalled something and were shaken with excitement. They stared intently at a small side door.
The applause continued as Old Master Zhuo emerged from one of the smaller doors. He walked up onto the stage and cleared his throat, addressing everyone present: "Dear guests, welcome to our Traditional Chinese Medicine College’s 60th anniversary celebration. Seeing all of you here makes me proud of having founded this institute..." After speaking for around half an hour on the podium, Old Master Zhuo stepped down.
When he descended from the stage, everyone in the auditorium stood up and enthusiastically applauded. They had graduated from this school and could attribute their current achievements to its influence; thus, they held a deep respect for the founder of the Traditional Chinese Medicine College.
The subsequent speeches were given by representative students from each graduating class, mostly recounting changes and accomplishments at the school, with much nostalgia for past times.
At 11:30 AM sharp, the morning session concluded, to reconvene in the afternoon. The student representatives speaking today were mainly successful graduates who came up to introduce themselves so that others could get acquainted with them.
The school arranged for lunch at the cafeteria, serving meals similar to those students usually ate there as a way to relive their college days.
Fortunately, the cafeteria was spacious enough to accommodate several hundred people, though it did feel somewhat crowded. However, many younger individuals left after taking a look at the food; despite having eaten these dishes in the past, they now lacked any appetite for them after getting used to gourmet fare, finding it difficult even to swallow.
Conversely, the older attendees remained seated with expressions of reminiscence. Sitting here and eating, they recalled their spirited college days when simple meals like steamed buns and pickled vegetables tasted delicious.
"Hello, hello! I'm from Everlasting Medical Equipment Company; this is my business card. Should you need any medical devices, feel free to contact me—we can offer you the most competitive prices!"
As Xiao Yu and his companions were chatting over lunch in the cafeteria, a man’s ingratiating voice sounded behind them.alleviated with Xiao Yu’s little remedies, then Wan Jiayi’s illness would also be genuine and Xiao Yu has an aura that is mysterious.Xiao Yu may lack experience and age compared to the old man, but he...
