Chapter 653 All for the Sake of Human Development
As more and more news were reposted in Huaxia, some We-Media and large media outlets in the domestic all started paying attention to this matter and reported the whole matter as well.
Fang Qiu was already a headline maker in the domestic.
Now, with the media using the words like “medicine conference” and “shady deal” in the title, it easily attracted more people to read the news. Soon, the matter became a hot topic on Weibo.
In the capital.
In a certain neighborhood.
Inside a fairly spacious room.
“Hmm?”
Li Canming, who didn’t go to work, sat on the balcony enjoying his American breakfast—milk, cereal, and bread—while logging on Weibo with his mobile phone to check out domestic events.
At first glance, he saw the topic of the World Medical Exchange Conference and Fang Qiu.
He clicked on it and took a closer look.
Li Canming smiled brightly.
“Hee-hee…”
Looking at the reports about the shady deal, Li Canming burst into laughter. Without thinking, he immediately reposted the news and commented, “Your means are despicable. I thought you were confident enough to give a speech at the World Medical Exchange Conference, but I didn’t expect that you would take this kind of means. Your moral standing is really poor! @Who do you think you are.”
After this post was sent, Li Canming laughed heartily and waited gleefully for the netizens’ comments. He wanted to see if those netizens who supported Fang Qiu still dared to stick up for him now that all the negative news about Fang Qiu had been exposed. This time, he expected to see how far Fang Qiu’s good names would be spoiled!
.
However, just as he sent his post on Weibo, a new topic suddenly became heated!
#Foreign websites’ comments on Fang Qiu’s shady deal in the medical conference#
Seeing this hashtag, without the slightest hesitation, Li Canming clicked in at once.
.
As it turned out, he was dumbfounded when he read the content.
The most popular post with this hashtag was a Weibo repost of some comments on foreign websites, most of which consisted of screenshots.
In addition to a load of screenshots, the one who posted the article also said at the end, “Great Huaxia, great Chinese Medicine!”
At this last sentence, the netizens’ hearts welled up with patriotism at once.
Unlike the netizens, Li Canming’s face immediately fell when he saw this sentence.
It was out of question that these comments were definitely complimenting to Fang Qiu.
Sure enough!
He clicked on the pictures.
The comments were listed one after another, and there was almost no interval, which indicated that no comments were hidden or deducted on purpose.
Li Canming pored through the comments.
Except for a few that attacked the shady deal at the top, the comments below all exclaimed how amazed they were by the Chinese Medicine in Huaxia.
When reading those comments, the netizens on Weibo laughed heartily at their screens.
They also saw Li Canming’s new post on Weibo. At first, everyone thought that Fang Qiu really caused huge trouble this time, which might even damp the reputation of Huaxia and Chinese Medicine.
Yet, after reading the comments of western netizens, everyone was relieved.
“Is that a shady deal?”
“Haha, I’m laughing my head off. Western netizens are smart after all.”
“Which idiot wrote this piece of news? Isn’t he smacking his own face? Isn’t it a matter of course for a capable person to give a speech at the medical conference? Why does it have to be a shady deal? You think the conference should invite a brainless person to give the speech instead?”
“Haha, Fang Qiu has recruited a large number of western fans for our Huaxia and our Chinese Medicine!”
“Look, Westerners are all talking about our Chinese Medicine!”
“@Li Canming, does your face hurt? Your cheeks must be aching, am I right?”
“Chinese Medicine is magical! @Li Canming.”
Soon, some people began to @Li Canming.
Many people who didn’t know why they did so clicked on Li Canming’s Weibo account to check it out.
When they saw Li Canming’s latest Weibo post, everyone burst into laughter.
“It’s a slap in the face.”
“This is the fastest slap in the face I’ve ever seen. It only took one second!”
“Haha, Li Canming must have been struck dumb!”
“He failed to show off, and made a fool of himself instead. I’m impressed!”
“Post Doctor Li, didn’t you study in the U.S. for many years? Why can’t you find the focus of the western people’s discussion? How dare you make such a post on Weibo? Your face must be smacked swollen now, isn’t it?”
“Fang Qiu is obviously fighting for the glory of the country. What are you sneering at? Do you have any self-esteem?”
“He does what others can’t. And that is the great Fang Qiu!”
“Fang Qiu is awesome. In the previous medical exchange meetings, they never set up a theme speech on traditional medicine. But when Fang Qiu attended this meeting, he suddenly made himself the speaker on this theme speech. Isn’t this an indirect testament to the strong development of our Chinese Medicine?”
“@Li Canming, you wait and see how Fang Qiu will slap you in the face when he gives that speech!”
Maybe it was because there had been no waves in the Internet world for a long time, even though Fang Qiu was not in the country, those who had been rooting for him still rushed into Li Canming’s Weibo account and bashed Li Canming over and over again.
Li Canming was now aggrieved.
He never thought that things would develop like this.
If he had waited for seconds, just a couple of seconds, he would see this topic and know the focus of western netizens, then he would not dare to post a blog to mock Fang Qiu at all.
Sadly, it was all too late.
Even if he wanted to take his words back, it was impossible!
Looking at the endless mockery on Weibo, Li Canming could only turn off his phone in anger. It would be best if he didn’t see it!
Switzerland.
The office building of the WHO.
After waiting for two whole hours for the western netizens to discuss this matter online, the preparation team of the World Medical Exchange Conference to be held by the WHO called in a press conference to respond to this matter.
Having received the news, in addition to the local media reporters in Switzerland, the journalists from all over the world who came to follow the news also hurried over and gathered at the front of the WHO’s office building.
In just an hour, reporters from various media outlets had arrived.
A serious press conference was officially held.
The ones who came to the stage first were the leaders of the preparation team of the World Medical Exchange Conference.
Because there were no tables and chairs prepared, after stepping onto the stage, these leaders immediately stood in two lines on the left and right sides respectively. In the middle of the stage was a podium for one speaker.
Then, the WHO’s spokesman appeared.
At the sight of this person, the journalists present immediately gathered around him. They stretched out their cameras and microphones and bombarded him with questions.
At this sight, the security guards of the WHO immediately stepped forward and blocked all the journalists out.
Seeing so many people at the scene, the spokesman of the WHO was also taken aback.
Nonetheless, he quickly got over the panic and calmed down.
Smiling, he nodded and waved at the journalists present, and then walked to the podium.
At the same time, the journalists at his heels immediately surrounded the podium!
“Ladies and gentlemen, glad to have you here.”
Standing on the stage, the spokesman glanced at all the reporters present, and said, “Please be quiet.”
At his words, the reporters stopped talking and making noise.
“As the spokesman of the WHO, I am honored to stand on this podium to explain in detail to all the reporters present and all the friends who are paying attention to this matter.”
“First of all, I’m certain that the matter is true. Mr. Fang Qiu from Huaxia did cure a diabetes patient. But I want to tell the reporter who released this news that your job is to publish the news and pass the news to the ears of the folks, instead of making up stories and stating your wild conjecture!”
Hearing that, the reporters at the scene burst into an uproar.
The official representative had made it clear that this matter was true, but the whole thing was not like the news had reported at all.
“I can give my words to every citizen around the world who is paying attention to this matter that there is no shady deal behind our World Medical Exchange Conference and there is no shady deal in the WHO. There hadn’t been one before, nor will there be one at this or the other conferences to come in the future!” the spokesman declared with a solemn face.
“I know you all want to know what’s going on. In order to protect the reputation of this WHO and Dr. Fang Qiu, I, on behalf of the WHO, announce to everyone that there were truly a diabetes patient and a so-called supervisor as the shady deal disclosure has described.”
“Only that this supervisor was appointed by our WHO. His job was to verify whether Mr. Fang Qiu, a Chinese Medicine doctor, could really cure diabetes.”
“Before this, Dr. Fang Qiu has already made his name in the international community. Therefore, after he came to Switzerland, to show his care for the first Huaxia citizen attending the medical conference, the secretary-general personally made a phone call to Dr. Fang Qiu. On the phone, he learned that Dr. Fang Qiu could treat diabetes. For the sake of human well-being, the secretary-general stood his ground against all dissenting views and chose to verify it. And the final result turned out to be very satisfying.”
“Therefore, after learning about the greatness of Chinese Medicine through Dr. Fang Qiu, the secretary-general summoned all the members of the preparation team to have a meeting. Finally, they came up with the plan of having a special speech on traditional medicine for the first time in history.”
“And since Mr. Fang Qiu from Huaxia has excellent medical skills that are rarely seen in the world, he got the chance to make the speech.”
“So, everything is justified.”
“All that was down for the sake of the development of the human race. Everything is in our plan, and there is no such thing as a shady deal!”
At that, all the reporters present all reckoned the explanation unassailable!
Even the reporters at the scene began to look forward to the speech Fang Qiu was about to make at the medical conference.
“Excuse me, is the treatment of diabetes used by Dr. Fang Qiu the traditional Chinese Medicine method?” someone inquired.
“Yes!”
The spokesman immediately nodded in affirmation.
“Then, do you think Dr. Fang Qiu will publish the treatment of diabetes?” asked another reporter.
“Well… let’s look forward to it.”
The spokesman smiled and said, “I believe that Mr. Fang Qiu will definitely solve all your doubts then.”
After that, all kinds of questions were raised.
In the crowd, Albert, who had also arrived at the scene, was completely stupefied!
How could he know the WHO could turn the tables like this?
Now he was screwed!
Everything was lost!
After this incident, it would be difficult for him to make even a simple interview at this medical meeting!
