The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul

After three consecutive days of fermentation, the video on the campus official website became even hotter, and it even spread from the school to the outside world.

Imperial City has more than one Medical College, and if expanded to nationwide, there are even more, while the views of those 8 videos kept climbing after the owner’s consent for them to be shared beyond the school gates.

When Tang Shu accompanied Professor Yu to the Medical College for a meeting, she happened to hear the familiar voice of Cheng Ranran coming from the mobile phone of the person seated next to her.

"???"

Tang Shu had a moment of stupefaction, surprised at the speed of the video’s spread, and after the shock, she immediately sat down with Professor Yu. freёweɓnovel.com

The academic discussion on new medicinal materials has yet to start today, and those who came here for the conference are either seniors in the field of traditional Chinese medicine or juniors with great potential, each of them significant figures.

Even so, Tang Shu was still the most eye-catching presence.

"Old Yu, is this your newly recruited student?"

The elderly man with white hair across from him looked over curiously, his gaze filled with scrutiny and astonishment. The young lady was too pretty, which, to use his granddaughter’s words, was literally raising the average attractiveness of the whole conference room.

Professor Yu deftly avoided a direct answer with a smile, neither confirming nor denying, "She is a student from our Imperial Medical College, currently in her second year of undergraduate study."

The term "newly recruited student" from the old man was not a simple term for an average medical student. People like him placed great importance on legacy, and the word ’student’ could very much be equated to a disciple.

Yet Master Yu indicated that he did not want people to know the truth at all. He too had his vanity, after all.

"Xiao Shu, come and meet the seniors, this is Professor Zhou from the Imperial University Affiliated Hospital."

"Good to meet you, Professor Zhou."

"Xiao Shu? What a good name. Study hard, young people; the future will be yours."

Professor Yu watched his friend looking like he was fostering a junior and almost laughed out loud. If this stubborn old man knew that the research on snow lotus and Moon-facing Grass was all thanks to Xiao Shu, and even the name came from the medical records of the Tang family, he’d probably be astounded.

After introducing Xiao Shu in just a few words, Professor Zhou started talking about other matters.

"The videos of a few students from your school collecting herbs outdoors were very well shot. Even our hospital staff are interested; the nurses watched them with great enjoyment."

"Young people are always full of energy. We should support meaningful endeavors like this if we ourselves can’t do them."

It was clear that even Professor Yu appeared to be fully aware of the details and even expressed high praise, making Tang Shu realize once again just how significant the situation Su Chejun had caused was.

Aside from the protagonists of the club, those who edited the videos also contributed. Perhaps it should be considered to give Shen Yan a raise.

As time neared 9 am, more and more people arrived at the conference site.

Tang Shu saw quite a few familiar faces; Section Chief Ju, accompanied by Dr. Qian with whom she had worked once, arrived, and Master Xie and Master Qin arrived last-minute. However, she always felt that the man sitting behind Master Xie looked familiar.

The man seemed to be in his thirties, wearing a pair of gold-framed glasses that added an academic touch, with sculpted features, lips tightly pressed, and a nose that somewhat resembled Master Xie...

Ah? Rather than looking somewhat like Master Xie, he actually looked more like Director Xie.

Tang Shu lowered her eyes, speculating about the man’s identity—this might very well be Xie Family’s eldest cousin who had teamed up to play a trick on Jing Yu during Xie Yunzhen’s birthday night.

As Section Chief Kong from the Medical College took the seat of honor in the meeting room, the seminar on five newly discovered valuable herbs officially commenced.

By now, everyone had received a photocopied version of an ancient book, which was the very one that Tang Shu had handed over to Professor Yu some time ago. Despite being A4 paper copies, it was not difficult to discern their ancient charm from the traditional characters and vertical layout.

As for the original ancient manuscript, due to its profound significance and historical value, it had already been returned to its rightful owner.

In the moderately sized meeting room, there were about thirty people. Some unfamiliar faces did not seem too strange to Tang Shu because they had appeared in textbooks or some videos before.

They were all heavyweights.

"This classic comes from the Tang family; perhaps we all should thank Miss Tang behind Master Yu?"

When all the heavyweights’ gazes concentrated on Tang Shu, she felt as if she had returned to the Tang Sect, undergoing the scrutiny of the elders.

Section Chief Kong’s expression was one of satisfaction, Professor Yu glowed with pride, and the rest of the crowd showed surprise, shock, and curiosity, along with a "just as I thought" from familiar faces such as Master Xie.

Uh... why ’just as I thought’?

Tang Shu was all too familiar with that look; it was exactly like the way Luo Lin would look at her, making her feel as though she could break big news at any moment.

After Section Chief Kong finished the introduction, the main agenda of today’s seminar began.

"As everyone knows, these herbs have extremely demanding requirements for their growing environment. Besides searching for their natural habitat in the Northwest, we are also striving to create suitable temperatures for them..."

The meeting that started at 9 A.M. lasted the entire day, with lunch being served in the Medical College’s cafeteria. However, the dining table occupied by the bigwigs of the traditional Chinese medicine community was filled with academic terms, unlike usual.

"What do you think about the prescription involving Moon-facing Grass?"

"I think it is appropriate to add 5 grams of Exquisite Plant. It has the effect of Strengthening the Foundation and Nourishing the Origin, thus the medicinal effect might be more stable."

"Two grams of Red Ginseng Powder could be added; I believe the effect would be better, although this requires thorough research."

Tang Shu: "..."

She quietly sipped on a bowl of preserved egg and lean pork porridge, hearing a variety of suggestions for the formulation during this time. Well... let’s just say the attempts were bold, but the results were meager.

Traditional Chinese medicine indeed has a long way to go.

Professor Yu next to her had already begun discussing with Section Chief Kong, while Tang Shu once again silently played the role of the backdrop. When these many heavyweights came together, the intellectual clash was more than just the sum of adding 1+1; it was greater than 2. From proposal to refutation to revision, they were igniting the atmosphere of the seminar with the unique enthusiasm of scholars.

At five in the afternoon, Professor Yu and Tang Shu left the Medical College, carrying a research project initiation document stamped with an official seal.

"Now our university has more to keep us busy~~~"

As one of the leading Medical Universities in the nation, with Professor Yu in the lead, the Imperial Medical College naturally received the "homework" from the Medical College. Besides gathering everyone together for a brainstorming session, the purpose of this seminar was also to distribute the research tasks for the next stage.

This was the second time Tang Shu had encountered a research project on a new medication; the previous one was about trials involving Snow Soul Grass.

Of course, this "new" is only in relation to the medical scholars of this era.

"Do you have any plans, Professor?"
