Chapter 774: 773. Imperial Capital Theater

The Medical College had gathered countless elites from across the country, any random person pulled from it would be a high-profile figure in the medical community, with countless medical books written over the years. Now, someone dares to say that their work is inferior to a mere USB drive?

It’s a complete joke.

Impossible!

"Let me tell you, our Medical College has recently updated the textbook on basic medical sciences, incorporating all the major discoveries and corrections from the past few years."

"Humph, it’s just the same old stuff with a new label."

"What about your change from one gram to two grams? While it may improve the potency, the prescription is still the same old prescription—"

Section Chief Kong: "..."

Wait a minute, when did these two start to see eye to eye? Weren’t they supposed to be joyful nemeses for decades, with a friendship that was all about tearing into each other at every meeting?

It seems things completely changed when it came to him!

"Fine, I’ll look at it, but it had better be as good as you say, or else..."

You’re just disrupting my work! Disrupting my work is disrupting the great cause of the Medical College’s development, and the entire nation will despise you!

Inserting the modest USB drive into the computer, Section Chief Kong clicked to open the first video in the folder, and a green forest instantly filled his vision.

"Huh? So it’s about digging up Kudzu Root? Hmm... they’ve got the growth environment and medicinal value of Kudzu Root down quite well... It turns out you need to be careful with the force used while digging? I’ve never heard of that before..."

The video was about 20 minutes long, and for the first five minutes, Section Chief Kong managed to remain composed. However, as the progress bar steadily moved forward, his indifferent expression became increasingly serious, and his casual eyes became engrossed.

By the 20-minute mark, as Master Qin and Old Master Xie were having tea, they heard a loud sound coming from the other side.

A thunderous bang.

"What’s going on? What’s going on?"

"Ouch, why are you slamming the desk with your hand! You’d think you were a young man in your twenties!"

"Man, you have to accept your age!"

Section Chief Kong was no longer concerned with the teasing of his two friends; he was too excited, "Have you already processed Kudzu Root using the method shown in the video? How is the potency, has it really improved?"

As the saying goes, laymen watch the fun, while insiders watch the technique.

To the students of Traditional Chinese Medicine, this 20-minute video might seem quite ordinary and challenging to notice any difference, but to the three eminent figures in the office, it was a whole other story.

A small habit, a simple change in processing steps, could reveal the hidden techniques within!

"I’ve processed Kudzu Root countless times, and I’m intimately familiar with every step. The person in this video changed the technique during the third step, just as he said, to lock in the potency of the medicine that I had never thought of before..."

Seeing their friend so excited, Master Qin and Old Master Xie smiled at each other.

"You believe it now, don’t you? We have indeed tried this processing technique, but the first two attempts weren’t very successful. Look at the habit shown in the video, it’s very useful; it’s the most effective method to retain potency in a short amount of time."

"So that’s the way, I must try it myself later!"

"Hey wait, we didn’t come here today just to educate you on Kudzu Root Processing Techniques."

"Then what are you here for... wait, are these dozens of videos all different from our processing methods?"

Section Chief Kong was a smart man after all, with exceptional ability to extrapolate.

Master Qin nodded, "Pretty much, we’ve already tried the first ten and after some failures, we’ve verified they’re effective. As for the videos after that... we’re old now, we don’t have that much energy."

"Exactly, isn’t the Medical College our medical community’s leading academic authority? These tasks should be handled by professionals."

Section Chief Kong: "..."

So you guys came here today just to dump work on me and relish your freedom?

Who would’ve thought, just a second ago I was figuring out how to lure the people across from me to work for us, and the next second I had to lead the entire Medical College to work for them!

This contrast was simply too much.

"You two are not playing fair, as leading figures in the medical community how can you be so unprofessional!"

Master Qin carelessly posed like a dandy, "Don’t bother with those trifles, we brought you an improved method, you should be grateful. But let me say this upfront, this video is the masterpiece of a young friend of ours, and your Medical College cannot monopolize it."

Talents like this young person are rare these days, and we must protect them!

Section Chief Kong’s mouth twitched, "Am I capable of concealing others’ research achievements?"

That was judging others by one’s own standards of conduct.

He had completely forgotten who it was that was distrusting just a moment ago.

After sending off Master Qin and Old Master Xie, an excited Section Chief Kong issued several commands, and the entire Traditional Chinese Medicine community within the Medical College sprang into action.

The person who had the video, at this moment, was still unaware that her casually released material on medicinal herbs had already caused a stir in the Medical College.

Mid-November arrived quickly.

That morning, Tang Shu, fully equipped, got out of a Volkswagen car and stood at the entrance of Imperial Capital Theater.

Yang Tiantian parked the car in a nearby parking lot, clutching the tickets in hand with great excitement.

"Boss, are you really going to perform on stage today?"

"The tickets are in your hands, could it be fake?"

"I’m just a bit excited, it’s your debut at the drama club today!"

You should know that watching a play live is completely different from sitting in front of a TV! Plus, this debut features a performance by our very own boss!

Yang Tiantian was a little thrilled, gripping the tickets tightly, as if the thin paper might be swept away by a gust of wind the next second.

Tang Shu looked up at the entrance of Imperial Capital Theater. There was already a queue of audience members waiting to enter. She pointed at the long line.

"Tiantian, you go line up first. The audience can only enter through this entrance. I’ll go backstage by myself."

"Alright then, boss, just call me if you need anything!"

"Sure, and don’t get too excited, remember to watch where you’re going."

Tang Shu said goodbye to her assistant and strode towards another passage, soon joining the small group led by Teacher Yan.

At that moment, as Yang Tiantian stood in line, he overheard the excited discussions of several audience members around him.

"The group admin said there’s a surprise with these tickets, I wonder what it could be?"

"Never mind that, the ticket itself is a surprise, okay? Just to be able to see a play in Imperial Capital’s First Theater is a luxury—the tickets aren’t cheap!"

"But when it comes to stage plays... the moment you mention these three words, I immediately think of those Chapters from our high school textbooks!"

"Oh~~~ please don’t say that, those were the nightmares I had to memorize in high school!"
