Chapter 448 Meeting Gift

On the day of the exchange meeting, the hospital gave Mr. Gong a full-body check-up and found that Mr. Gong's health had indeed recovered very well, with all indicators within the normal range. It could even be said that his physical condition was better than that of other elderly people of the same age.

Under such circumstances, the hospital naturally agreed to allow Mr. Gong to be discharged temporarily for a period of time, as long as he signed a letter of responsibility.

Seeing that Mr. Gong was in good health, An Zhihan and the others felt relieved, but they still asked Su Qing to stay with Mr. Gong to prevent any problems.

The exchange meeting was held in the evening. However, before accompanying Mr. Gong to the exchange meeting, Su Qing first went back to the Li family and delivered the gray squirrel to Mr. Li and Mrs. Li.

When Su Qing came back from Lan City, she put the gray squirrel into the space, but she forgot to take it out when she came back. Su Qing just remembered it these two days, so she made an excuse that it was a gift from a friend and placed the gray squirrel at Li's house.

Mr. Li and Mrs. Li both like the gray squirrel very much. Because the gray squirrel had lived in Xiqing Mountain before and stayed in Su Qing's space for a while, the whole squirrel has become smarter, which makes Mr. Li and Mrs. Li very happy.

Su Qing left a big bag of nuts and went out to the hospital to pick up Mr. Gong.

The exchange meeting that Mr. Gong attended was a Chinese medicine exchange meeting, which brought together many well-known domestic Chinese medicine practitioners and scholars. In recent years, the development of Chinese medicine has been unsatisfactory. Many old Chinese medicine practitioners have passed away, and the young generation has not yet fully grown up. For the long-term development of Chinese medicine, a Chinese medicine family in Beijing organized this exchange meeting, which is not only for experienced old Chinese medicine practitioners, but more for young people who are interested in or engaged in Chinese medicine.

In fact, to put it bluntly, this Chinese medicine exchange meeting is equivalent to an old Chinese medicine practitioner looking for apprentices at the exchange meeting. After all, it is not easy to meet a young person who is interested in and talented in Chinese medicine under normal circumstances, but it would be much easier at this exchange meeting.

Grandpa Gong also attended the exchange meeting with this purpose in mind. Grandpa Gong's only son died young and had no offspring. Several of his disciples died or disappeared over the years. Although his only disciple Du Chaoran learned some Chinese medicine skills from him, it was obvious that Du Chaoran's talent was in Western medicine rather than Chinese medicine. Grandpa Gong was actually anxious, fearing that his medical skills could not be passed on, so he attached great importance to this exchange meeting.

As for Su Qing, Mr. Gong actually felt a little sorry for her. He once privately asked Su Qing if she wanted to learn Chinese medicine, but Su Qing herself had wood-type abilities, so she was not particularly interested in learning Chinese medicine. Moreover, Su Qing felt that she was not so peaceful and did not have the heart to save people like Mr. Gong. If she met a patient like An Zhiwei, let alone saving her, Su Qing would be too kind not to add a handful of dirt to the patient.

"Grandpa, are there many people attending this exchange meeting?" Su Qing asked curiously on the way to the exchange meeting.

Old Master Gong smiled and said to Su Qing, "There should be quite a few people. The one who organized this exchange meeting is the Bai family in Beijing. The Bai family is a traditional Chinese medicine family. They are well-known and prestigious not only in Beijing, but also in the traditional Chinese medicine circles across the country. Therefore, there must be quite a few people coming to their exchange meeting this time."

Su Qing nodded: "It seems that this Bai family is really prestigious."

"Yes," Old Master Gong said with a smile, "When we get to the exchange meeting, if you don't want to socialize, just find a place to eat. The Bai family's exchange meetings are all self-service, and those small cakes and other things are pretty good."

Mr. Gong knew Su Qing and knew that she was not the type of person who liked socializing. If it wasn't for taking care of him, she wouldn't have come to this exchange meeting today.

Su Qing smiled and nodded: "Okay."

The venue of the exchange meeting is in a villa of the Bai family in the suburbs of Beijing. The Bai family has a profound heritage and owns many properties in Beijing. This villa is one of them. It has an elegant environment and is spacious enough, making it the most suitable place to entertain guests.

Su Qing and Mr. Gong arrived at the gate of the villa. Mr. Gong showed the invitation letter. The receptionist at the gate of the villa saw the invitation letter and immediately showed respect to Mr. Gong: "It turns out to be Mr. Gong. Please come in."

As the man spoke, he looked at Su Qing again. Each invitation letter could bring one person in, so the man secretly wondered about the relationship between Su Qing and Mr. Gong, but he did not show it on the surface.

Su Qing followed Mr. Gong into the courtyard, and soon, an energetic old man came out to greet them: "Brother Gong, long time no see."

"Brother Bai." Old Master Gong greeted the man with a smile, and then said to Su Qing: "This is the head of the Bai family, Old Master Bai."

Su Qing smiled and called out, "Grandpa Bai."

"Oh, what a pretty little girl." Mr. Bai looked at Su Qing and nodded with a smile. He asked Mr. Gong, "Brother Gong, is this your little apprentice?"

Old Master Gong sighed, "One of my juniors is called Su Qing. Hey, I hope she can be my apprentice. This girl has a talent for herbs, but it's a pity that she doesn't like to study medicine."

Seeing what Grandpa Gong said, Grandpa Bai couldn't help but smile. He could see that although Su Qing was not Grandpa Gong's apprentice, it was obvious that Grandpa Gong valued Su Qing very much. He took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket and handed it to Su Qing: "Here, girl, here is the Jade Muscle Pill, which is most suitable for you little girl. Consider it Grandpa Bai's gift for meeting you."

After hearing this, Mr. Gong smiled and said, "You are very generous."

Then, Mr. Gong said to Su Qing, "This Jade Muscle Pill is the Bai family's ancestral secret recipe. It was presented as a tribute to the nobles in the palace. Since it is a gift from your grandfather Bai, you should just accept it."

Su Qing could also see that Mr. Gong and Mr. Bai obviously had a very good relationship, so she did not refuse and took the small porcelain bottle with a smile: "Thank you, Grandpa Bai."

"He's a polite and good kid." Mr. Bai nodded with a smile, and then said to Mr. Gong: "Let's go in first. There are already many people inside, waiting to see you."

Su Qing felt her scalp tingling when she heard this. So many people were waiting to see Grandpa Gong. If she followed Grandpa Gong, her face would be numb from laughing. Anyway, she didn't plan to come into contact with too many Chinese medicine practitioners. As long as Grandpa Gong was within her domain, she could ensure that Grandpa Gong would be fine. Immediately, Su Qing said to Grandpa Gong, "You can communicate with the uncles and grandfathers later. I'll find a place to stay."

Mr. Gong nodded and said, "Okay."

Mr. Bai smiled and said, "I have quite a few young people in my family, so it's a good opportunity for them to communicate more."
