Chapter 958 Aguero’s Pride

Yan Dongyang waved goodbye to the Rolls-Royce that was slowly driving out of his sight, turned around, hailed a taxi and rushed to Manila Hospital.

Mr. Lack sat opposite Lin Tian, ​​and there was no communication between the two of them. The atmosphere in the car was somewhat awkward. Fortunately, the car drove very fast, and it didn't take long to arrive at the gate of the Presidential Palace.

"Okay, please get out!" Luck opened the car door and got out of the car first, respectfully inviting Lin Tian to get out, and Lin Tian also enjoyed the imperial service without any courtesy.

He got out of the car and walked to the president's office under the leadership of Lack.

There is a long red carpet between the gate and the president's main entrance. About ten steps on either side are guards standing opposite, wearing traditional Philippine military uniforms, standing tall and tall on both sides.

After walking for about ten minutes, we entered the gate of the Presidential Palace and finally arrived in front of Aguero's office.

Lark knocked softly and opened the office door a few times. The president raised his head wearing glasses and saw Lin Tian standing behind Lark at a glance. He was more energetic than in the photo, young and full of vigor, and his smile showed humility.

, in fact, he is completely different from the activist in the newspaper who is always trying to turn the tide and keeps saying that he wants to revitalize traditional Chinese medicine.

Lark brought Lin Tian to the office door and turned around to leave, closing the door behind him when he left.

"Sit down, I came to you today just to have a casual chat with you." Aguero pointed in front of the desk and across to the sofa, and smiled at Lin Tian.

As the president, Aguero has a lot to do, and it is rare for him to be able to finish his official duties, let alone find someone to chat with. Lin Tian knew that he must have something important to do when he came to see him today.

He politely paid attention to Aguero, then found a place to sit down, not far or near from Aguero.

Aguero's initial impression of Lin Tian was very good. He behaved in a gentle, reasonable manner, neither humble nor overbearing.

"Your Excellency, you speak Chinese very well." Lin Tian gave Aguero a high hat as soon as he opened his mouth. Of course, this is entirely a strategy to win the trust of Your Excellency the President so that the topic can continue.

.

Aguero smiled calmly and said modestly: "I studied and worked in Huaxia for five years in my early years, and I learned the Chinese language fairly well."

"Since this is the case, then, your Excellency, the President, can you understand my current situation better?" Lin Tian said frankly and honestly: "You don't need to tell me what you want to do with me, let me guess first, okay?"

Aguero smiled and said nothing, and his favorable impression increased a lot. He just felt that this kid was really smart and he also liked talking to smart people.

"Is it the reports about traditional Chinese medicine that have been noisy recently?" Lin Tian asked tentatively.

He is not just making random guesses here based on his personal subjectivity. Earlier, Jasmine was entrusted by Qin Xueqing to take pictures of what she saw last time and put them in the newspaper. This triggered a discussion in Manila about whether Chinese medicine and Western medicine should coexist.

big discussion.

In the past half month, such discussions have not dissipated. With Yodoni's strong advocacy of establishing a Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the discussion has once again reached a new climax.

This is probably why Aguero was able to find him, so Lin Tiantian dared to ask boldly.

"You're very smart, and you're right. That's why I'm looking for you." Aguero admitted without any concealment.

Lin Tian pretended to be listening attentively, smiling and waiting for Aguero's next words.

As Lin Tian expected, Aguero said again: "My early experience in China gave me a special feeling for Chinese medicine, so when I saw the news about you and Chinese medicine, let me

I'm shocked..."

Lin Tian said nothing, looking at Aguero quietly and listening to him telling his story.

"I admit that the Philippines has a prejudice against traditional Chinese medicine. This prejudice is deep-rooted, and this prejudice is against the Chinese..."

Lin Tian was surprised by Aguero's confession. You must know that not all people can be so honest about the ills that they hate and can't do anything about. The expression on his face became more and more serious, and he knew in his heart that Aguero is a respectable person.

.

"At the beginning of taking office, I also vigorously promoted traditional Chinese medicine, but unfortunately it failed." At this point, Aguero shrugged with regret and told the truth, with an expression as if Lin Tian was a friend he had known for many years.

There is no sense of unfamiliarity at all.

Lin Tian also understands that Chinese medicine itself has its own weaknesses. It is much faster to train a doctor of Western medicine in terms of cost and time than that of Chinese medicine. Western medicine can also keep pace with the times and apply science and technology to medicine.

However, traditional Chinese medicine has always developed slowly. Whether it is treatment methods or training models, it is always the master leading the apprentice, starting from the boy reciting the Tangtou song...

He also understood Aguero's situation very well. He thought a lot in his mind but didn't say a word. He listened patiently to what Aguero said.

Aguero also seemed to have found a close friend. He suddenly started talking and couldn't hold it back. He talked eloquently: "When I promoted traditional Chinese medicine, I found that there were many obstacles. Both the people around me and the public rose up to oppose it.

, if you don’t want to promote traditional Chinese medicine, you can’t do it without people who understand traditional Chinese medicine. As a result, my proposal was rejected by the parliament on the spot as soon as it was released..."

"This is unfair to Chinese medicine practitioners!" Lin Tian couldn't help but interjected: "Is it because they treat Chinese medicine doctors like this to cover up their ulterior motives?"

Aguero nodded in agreement and replied: "Many times, as a president, I mostly have to listen to the opinions of the parliament. You may not know much about the political structure here. The parliament occupies a lot of power, and sometimes even

Can influence my decision..."

"What about?"

"For example, the recent confrontation with China about the Scarborough Shoal incident has been strongly advocated by some in the parliament. I have always expressed opposition to this, but..." Aguero laughed, his smile full of helplessness.

Lin Tian could understand that behind his helpless smile, there were real reasons that were not humane. Things decided by the parliament often had serious consequences, and he, as the president, had to bear them alone. This was perhaps the most difficult thing that made him often feel trapped.

Important reasons.

After being silent for a long time, Lin Tian suddenly said: "Why are you telling me this?"

Aguero spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "I don't know either."

Lin Tian was almost shocked by this answer and fell to the ground, holding his forehead and said: "Your Excellency, are you kidding me?"

Aguero shook his head seriously and said: "No, I am talking to you about these things very seriously, without any intention of joking."

Lin Tian fell silent again. He really couldn't find the right words to answer the President, who made people feel so familiar.

"The newspaper reports made my blood boil, and it also aroused memories that had been sealed for a long time." Aguero held his forehead and looked like he was thinking, and the whole person suddenly fell into memories.

"When I was young, I was very interested in Chinese culture, especially Chinese medicine. I was eager to learn about it. However, I found that no matter how much I studied, I only knew a little bit about it. This inevitably made me become disillusioned with the number of people studying Chinese medicine.

A sense of awe…”

Lin Tian smiled faintly, and clearly understood the reason why Aguero had made little progress in studying Chinese medicine. The difficulty in learning Chinese medicine lies in understanding how to work hard if he only gets the knowledge from medical books without the guidance of a famous teacher.

It's of no use either.

This also made him feel very lucky. He was adopted by the Yaowang Sect when he was born, an old man who seemed unreliable but actually had unfathomable medical skills. He taught him all his medical skills. Of course, this was incompatible with Lin Tian's talent.

Intelligence is inseparable.

"Actually, although I am a president, I am more of a normal person with flesh and blood. I also have my emotions, and I hope that the people can understand me and support me." Aguero also spoke with ambition.

"You mean to use Chinese medicine as a breakthrough to let the public understand your determination to reform?" Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, it is not difficult for Lin Tian to find out from his words the reason why Aguero came to him.

Aguero's eyes flashed brightly. He did not expect Lin Tian to understand his intentions so quickly. There are many social contradictions in the Philippines at present, most people live in poverty, and local wealthy people also firmly control their property.

The assets owned by the Chen family can even compete with the government's annual fiscal revenue. If this continues, the country is bound to be in turmoil. It is for this reason that Aguero thought of finding a breakthrough for reform. However, it was not these that moved him.

, but a word from Lin Tian.

"What did I say?" Lin Tian looked at Aguero in surprise and asked in confusion.

Aguero nodded solemnly and replied: "You said that traditional Chinese medicine will not die, because there are thousands of descendants of Yan and Huang who will pass it on from generation to generation. Traditional Chinese medicine is a spirit and a cultural inheritance...

…”

As he spoke, Aguero immediately became excited and his face turned rosy.

"..."

Lin Tian did not expect that Aguero, who was over fifty years old, had the impulsiveness and passion of a young man when talking about his ideals. He felt like the black threads on his head were falling to the ground one by one, and he could not pick them up.

"Your Excellency, how do you plan to cooperate with me?"

Lin Tian finally asked the question he was most concerned about. At first, he had no impression of the Philippines. It was the unfair treatment that Yu Lao received in Manila that made him come here and get in touch with the people and things here.

, got to know Cao Deyi and others, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner who has been living in poverty and hardship.

Lin Tian has no ambition to be a god and spread light and hope to the world. He just wants to use his own efforts and his friends to do their best to change the environment in which Cao Deyi and his friends live.

Hearing the Tao in the morning can lead to death in the evening. Chinese medicine is the career that Lin Tian pursues throughout his life. To this end, he can devote his whole life, even his life.

What happened in Manila was because he used his passion and actions to awaken the undecided Chinese and unite them to fight against unfair treatment.
