Luo Ziling knew that Yan University Medical School did not have a traditional Chinese medicine program.

Yan University Medical School now has nine undergraduate programs, namely: Clinical Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, Basic Medicine, Medical Experimental Technology, Medical Testing Technology, Dental Technology, Pharmacy, and Preventive Medicine. However, Li Jinghui said they want to apply to establish a national-level traditional medicine laboratory; this is completely unreasonable!

Seeing the doubt in Luo Ziling's heart, Wu Mingyun took over the conversation and said solemnly: "I suggested to Principal Li that Yan University Medical School should set up a program related to traditional medicine. Because we have a talented medical professional who defeated national physicians from Japan and South Korea, and this young talent has several disciples who are heavyweight experts in traditional medicine under his name. Just this point alone is unmatched by other traditional Chinese medicine universities."

Luo Ziling instantly understood the meaning of these words.

Li Jinghui and Wu Mingyun's intention is to use his reputation to propose the establishment of a traditional medicine program to the Health and Family Planning Commission, the Ministry of Education, and the Traditional Chinese Medicine Administration Bureau, with their method of attracting talent being the establishment of a national-level laboratory.

One should not underestimate the title of a national-level laboratory; none labeled as such is simple.

Researching in a national-level laboratory is a fatal temptation for many scholars.

Luo Ziling believed that those who consider themselves aloof, like Wang Xuyun, Dong Qichang, and He Yan, if given the opportunity to work in a national-level laboratory, might not be able to resist the temptation.

If even these lofty individuals might not be able to resist the temptation, what more about other scholars who aspire to achieve success?

But Luo Ziling was no longer someone easily fooled, so he did not rush to express his stance and instead casually asked: "Principal Li, Dean Wu, our school does not have any traditional Chinese medicine subjects, why apply for the establishment of a national-level traditional medicine laboratory?"

"Last time, during a meeting with a deputy director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Administration Bureau, we talked about this topic," Wu Mingyun exchanged a glance with Li Jinghui and explained, "Many people already know that the medicine made from the formula you contributed has excellent effects, thus creating astonishing profits for Lingyun Pharmaceutical. Northern Group Pharmaceutical Company has also been established, and the foundation of Northern Pharmaceutical Group is the pharmaceutical formula you contributed. Just a few formulas that you provided can make these large pharmaceutical groups thrive."

At this point, Wu Mingyun chuckled and then became very serious: "Everyone believes you have many hidden formulas, and you have been researching more remedies. As the country is vigorously developing the Chinese medicine industry, Chinese medicine formulas are becoming increasingly valued by the world. If you can share your research results, it will benefit all people."

"I understand, you want to target the secret formulas of mine and my grandfather," Luo Ziling said with a smile: "You also want us to teach these years' research results to more people, is that right?"

"Of course that's right," Li Jinghui did not deny it, nodded, and said: "If your grandfather is willing to join Yan University, and the disciples you have recruited are willing to join, then our application to establish a traditional medicine program will definitely be approved. With you joining, even if we are a newly established traditional medicine program, our faculty level will surpass other established traditional Chinese medicine universities. Your research results can be admired by everyone."

Wu Mingyun continued: "If we can establish a traditional medicine program, then you might be the only one who is both a student and a teacher, and you'll become even more of a legend."

"Principal Li, Dean Wu, can you not tempt me so straightforwardly? You should know, I find it particularly hard to resist temptation," Luo Ziling said with a wry smile.

"Hahaha, does this mean you agree?" Li Jinghui smiled happily.

Luo Ziling of course would not refuse, but he also did not outright agree, "I am willing to contribute to the development of traditional medicine, but as for others, including my grandfather's opinion, I don't know."

"How about we visit your grandfather and a few other leaders in traditional medicine together?" Wu Mingyun suggested.

Luo Ziling shook his head: "There is no need for that, it's too grandiose; my grandfather doesn't like it. I'll just ask my grandfather when I get back. He doesn't like noise and is not keen on interacting with people, and the others are the same."

"Alright then, when you go back today, discuss it with your grandfather," Wu Mingyun seemed a bit excited, "If he agrees and others are willing to join Yan University, then the authorities will definitely approve immediately. We can start enrolling students next semester."

This was his suggestion; Yan University Medical School itself is a prestigious brand and a dream learning place for many aspiring medical students. Even though the traditional medicine program is newly established, the reputation of Yan University is enough to attract people. Moreover, if Luo Ziling, a famed celebrity, along with other prominent figures in traditional medicine join, the value of Yan University Medical School's traditional medicine program will be even higher.

Seeing that Luo Ziling was swayed by their words, both Li Jinghui and Wu Mingyun looked a bit pleased.

Li Jinghui also seriously told Luo Ziling not to worry about the treatment, saying the school would comprehensively assist with matters such as faculty qualifications and titles, and housing would be arranged.

These are very practical issues and are what many people care most about.

Some people hesitate because they are concerned about these things.

Now, house prices in Yanjing are unbelievably high, academic competition is very fierce, and titles and treatment are strictly linked. If the school does not help solve these issues, many might not be interested in joining Yan University.

Apart from these realistic promises, Li Jinghui also assured, in his capacity as principal, that everyone would have ample research space, their lifestyles would be respected without interference from the school, and there wouldn't be many requirements in teaching; everyone could teach students in their own style.

"Thanks to both principals for the care, I will certainly ask about their attitudes when I get back and report back to you," Luo Ziling, a bit influenced by Li Jinghui and Wu Mingyun's enthusiasm, agreed readily, "If they are willing to join, I'll also publish the news on Weibo, letting more people know."

"And please do more publicity for Yan University and Yan University Medical School on Weibo," Wu Mingyun made his request.

"Definitely!" Luo Ziling agreed cheerfully.

On his way back, Luo Ziling appeared somewhat excited.

Indeed, he and Luo Liansheng wanted to promote traditional medicine, and the proposal from Li Jinghui and Wu Mingyun could be seen as providing them a stage. If the ideas of the two principals are realized, then their grandfather and grandson wish could also be realized through this stage.

By then, traditional medicine will definitely develop even better.

This is a shortcut!
