Soon, the heated discussion on the Internet spread throughout all TCM colleges in Huaxia.
The graduates who focused on traditional Chinese medicine and worked hard to become pharmacists were all excited when they saw it.
“Haha, it’s finally our turn.”
“Not bad. Compared with Chinese Medicine doctors who went to the country, we who study medicine have some advantages. At least we can go abroad.”
“Although it’s Africo, it’s still abroad. Besides, there are many beautiful countries and regions there. At least we can go to the pyramids, right?”
“High payment is available for this position. The salary of working abroad can’t be bad, I think.”
“I can not only travel abroad but also spread traditional Chinese medicine in Huaxia and make a lot of money. I can’t miss this opportunity.”
For a moment, those traditional Chinese medicine graduates who had been envious of Chinese Medicine graduates began to submit their resumes to register.
On the Internet, the heated discussion was still going on.
“The Ministry of Public Health?”
“Why is the Ministry of Public Health looking for 1,000 pharmaceutical talents?”
“Recruitment is just a piece of cake for the Ministry of Public Health. Why would it entrust a foundation to do this?”
When a great number of netizens were in a heated discussion, some of them noticed the focus of this notice: Ministry of Public Health!
Then they logged on to the official website of the Ministry of Public Health at once.
As soon as they got access to the official website, they saw an official document.
They clicked it open and took a look.
“At the request of the Union of the Comores, the Ministry of Public Health commissioned the ‘Three Billion Foundation’ to recruit 1,000 talents skilled in processing medicinal herbs and with a background in traditional Chinese medicine to work in Africo for one year.”
“Comores?
“I think I’ve heard it mentioned before.”
An observant person took a look and immediately searched the Internet for Comores.
As a result, he found out something about the Union of the Comores in no time. After taking a look at it, he found that it was actually an island country in Africo.
He scrolled down and saw a message.
“Is Fang Qiu a big talker? He actually made an appointment with the president of Comores to cure malaria in a year?”
The man’s interest was immediately piqued when he saw the message.
“Could it be that Fang Qiu really found a cure for malaria?”
With this thought in mind, the man finally got access to the official website of Comores and those of some Africon countries through a proxy server after a long while.
However, after searching for a long time, he didn’t find any relevant information.
“Impossible!
“Since the Union of the Comores has sent a letter to Huaxia, how could there be no news on its official website?
“Could it be that Comores hasn’t received a reply from Huaxia? Or did Huaxia announce the news too early?”
Thinking of this, the man immediately made up his mind.
The government of Huaxia had made an official announcement. There would be no way Comores wouldn’t react. Therefore, he decided to wait and check it every day. He didn’t believe that he couldn’t find anything.
Of course, he was so concerned about this matter because he did not believe that Chinese Medicine could cure malaria. If Chinese Medicine could cure this disease, how could it be rampant in Africo?
Although the number of people who were infected with malaria was small, there were also malaria patients in Huaxia.
Anyway, he didn’t believe that Chinese Medicine could cure malaria!
The government of Comores was quick in action too. After everything was arranged, it contacted the Egypttian government right away.
The Egypttian government was stunned after receiving a letter from the authorities of Comores.
“A cure for malaria?
“Is this a joke?”
In Africo, Egyptt was undoubtedly a gigantic and developed country compared to Comores in many aspects.
Under the circumstances, even Egyptt couldn’t cure malaria, let alone Comores, a mere island country.
It did seem like a joke.
Although it seemed impossible, Comores was a union after all, and it had taken the initiative to send a letter. As a big country, Egyptt could not lose its grace, so its government could only contact the authorities of Comores out of courtesy to confirm this matter.
Amazingly, the Egyptian authorities received confirmation from their counterparts from Comores that they had cured malaria patients, and they even provided information about them.
Only then did the Egypttian government believe it. Then a meeting between leaders from all walks of life was quickly convened. In the end, the Egypttian government agreed to Comores’s request to negotiate and join hands.
This was, without a doubt, a good thing for Egyptt. It could help the country make money and save lives.
The authorities, of course, would not turn down such a good offer.
The cooperation between different countries of Africo, of course, had nothing to do with Fang Qiu. The only thing he needed to do in Africo was to find a cure for malaria. Now that he had accomplished it, there was nothing else he needed to do.
What was more, Comores had applied for a patent.
Now, Fang Qiu was an idle man.
With the herbs he processed and brought back, he went back to the medical assistance team.
“Pitter-patter…” There came a rush of hurried footsteps.
When Fang Qiu was helping Jiang Miaoyu and the others treat patients for free, a terrified group of locals rushed in carrying two men, which immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
Everyone turned to look.
The two men seemed in great pain.
“It’s malaria.” Before Fang Qiu could ask, a member of the medical assistance team instantly frowned and said, “Hurry up, inform the government and have them sent away as soon as possible.”
“Wait a sec.”
Hearing that, Fang Qiu immediately stopped him.
“What’s wrong?”
The member of the medical assistance team turned to look at Fang Qiu and continued, “This disease can’t be delayed. In the case of sudden onset, it is easy to infect others. Although our medical assistance team has sufficient measures to avoid infection, they can’t completely avoid infection. The most important thing is that we can’t do anything about malaria. If we leave the patients here, it will only put us in danger!”
Jiang Miaoyu came up and said with a serious face, “I agree. We can’t cure malaria. We can only ask the government to send them to the hospital on another island. Only there can they get treatment.”
Fang Qiu shook his head and said, “Don’t inform the government. I’ve been to the island you’re talking about. The island is full of malaria patients. There’s no one to treat them. Sending them there will only make them suffer more and lose their hope of survival.
“What’s more, this disease… I can cure it!”
Hearing that, everyone was shocked at once.
“Fang Qiu can cure it?”
Although everyone knew that Fang Qiu came here this time to find a cure for malaria, they didn’t think it would be so easy to cure it.
“Arrange for the patients first and take protective measures. I’m going to decoct herbs now.”
Fang Qiu told the others before he left.
Then, without further ado, he took out the basket full of processed medicinal herbs from his room, which he had brought from Egyptt, and began decoration.
Soon, the medicinal potions were ready. After cooling them, Fang Qiu instantly took them out for the patients to drink.
The patients had diarrhea and were really cured after drinking the medicinal potions.
“Well, this must be temporary. They’re not completely cured, are they?”
Seeing that the patients were cured, everyone on the medical assistance team was suddenly shocked.
Although most of them were Chinese Medicine doctors, they didn’t think Chinese Medicine really had a way to cure malaria, so when they saw the patients recover, they were all astonished.
“They’re cured,” said Fang Qiu.
His words shocked everyone even more!
“This prescription has been approved by the country and will soon spread throughout Africo. At that time, all the malaria patients in Africo will be cured,” said Fang Qiu.
Hearing the news, all the people on the medical assistance team were dumbfounded.
Without a doubt, they all knew that this prescription must have been found by Fang Qiu. A few days ago, he went to some other country to find a cure for malaria. Obviously, the medicinal herbs for treating malaria were found by him.
That meant his purpose in coming to Comores this time was fulfilled. Had he really found a way to cure malaria?
The way all the members of the medical assistance team looked at Fang Qiu changed in an instant.
At first, just like the others, they didn’t believe that Fang Qiu could cure malaria. The only one who believed in Fang Qiu was Jiang Miaoyu.
But now, they saw that Fang Qiu not only had cured two malaria patients but also found a prescription that could cure all malaria patients.
This made them both shocked and admire Fang Qiu very much!
“He deserves to be a miracle-working doctor.”
In shock, the member of the medical assistance team who was going to have the patients sent away couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. “We have been busy here for a whole year, but we haven’t done as much as you have done for a few days.”
Jiang Miaoyu standing to the side was smiling from beginning to end because she believed in Fang Qiu. In her eyes, Fang Qiu was omnipotent, so she always believed that Fang Qiu could cure malaria.
Now, Fang Qiu’s performance vindicated her conviction.
Of course, to her, even if Fang Qiu saved the whole world, it could only make her happy. She was happiest when she had him by her side all the time.
Five days later.
“Hello?”
Fang Qiu received a call from He Xue.
“The 1,000 pharmaceutical talents you need have been selected and passed the test. I want an exact time for their departure,” said He Xue.
“The specific date has not been decided yet, but it should be soon. It will be in the next few days,” said Fang Qiu.
“Fix the exact time as soon as possible.”
He Xue hung up after saying that.
But no sooner had she hung up than Fang Qiu’s phone rang again.
“Hello?” Fang Qiu answered the phone.
“Hello, Mr. Fang Qiu. I’m the minister of the Ministry of Public Health of the Union of the Comores.”
A voice came from the other end of the line and continued, “I’m sorry to disturb you. I’m calling to tell you that the patent has been granted.”
“So fast?”
Fang Qiu was shocked. He didn’t expect that Comores would get the patent granted so soon.
But on second thought, he found it not surprising as it was a patent filed in the name of a country and would certainly not go through the normal process.
The minister of the Ministry of Public Health added, “In addition, because of your great contribution to our country and the whole of Africo, the president has decided to award you the National Medal. The medal ceremony will be held in the square in front of the Presidential Palace in three days. Please be sure to attend it on time.”
