Chapter 317: Did You Have to Insult People With Your Joke?

Professor Chen did not reject Tang Beibei’s idea of planting some medicinal herbs at home and suggested a few more Chinese herbal medicine.
Clove, mugwort, white angelica root, perilla leaves and mint.
When these were dried, mixed together and made into scented sachets they could be hung on the body to ward off mosquitos in the summer.
Ginseng, astragalus, atractylodes, poria mushrooms, licorice, female ginseng, and a dozen more herbs. Some of them need to be specially purchased, but all ’ of them could be used to make soups that regulate the body.
Professor Chen was very chatty when he talked about these. He could talk non-stop about every Chinese medicinal herb or plant that was brought up. There were thousands of medicines in TCM. The hardy wildflowers and weeds that we saw every day could very well have medicinal properties.
Nowadays, many people advocated the western lifestyle and did not recognize TCM. Some even forgot about this age-old practice.
Professor Chen suddenly sighed. The revival of TCM would require education, promoting TCM culture and making TCM common knowledge and part of our everyday life.
TCM treatments generally took effect slowly but had very little side effects. But many illnesses in the modern world were acute.
Only the sick would realize that life was precious and pay more attention to the recuperation of the body. However, few have the patience to wait for TCM treatments to take effect.
Tang Beibei heard Professor Chen’s despondent tone and comforted him. “Everything will get better.”
Professor Chen looked at her and lectured with a long face. “Don’t just talk about it. You’ll have to take on this responsibility. Spread the knowledge you have learned to the public. Traditional Chinese Medicine is not inferior to Western Medicine. They can in fact be complementary to each other.” Tang Beibei rubbed her nose. That was a huge responsibility. She was afraid that her shoulders were too small to take it on.
Seeing that she didn’t say anything, Professor Chen snorted unhappily and looked a little disappointed.
“Have you thought about the dance I asked you to perform next month?” “Professor Chen, do I have to dance solo, or can I bring a friend along?” “Both are fine, but you must design something good and show me. Don’t give me something half-baked.”
Tang Beibei smiled and said fawningly, “Professor, let us finish the choreography and show it to you.”
After her shift ended, Tang Beibei went to look for Ruan Qi at Fu Jin’s dance studio.
During the training break, Tang Beibei found Fu Jin and told him Professor Chen’s request, hoping that he could help.
She had never participated in any large-scale events, let alone a serious medical conference.
That would be an international event. If she made a fool of herself there she wouldn’t just embarrass herself but also Professor Chen. Therefore, she asked for help.
Fu Jin did a quick search on the internet and found information about the medical conference next month.
“This is an annual medical conference, a major event attended by medical bigwigs from different fields. It’s a big stage indeed. Professor Chen must really like you to ask you to perform there.”
Tang Beibei also knew that Professor Chen was being kind to her, but it was a big challenge for her.
“I had a chat with Professor Chen just now about the revival of TCM. It was even more difficult than taking exams.” Tang Beibei said helplessly. Fu Jin stared at the about page for the medical conference and thought for a few seconds.
“I can help you, but you must let the emcee introduce you as a member of my dance troupe, Jin Dance Studio.”
Fu Jin’s dance troupe was named Jin Dance Studio.
“I’ll do the choreography and we’ll practice and edit the music together.”
“Okay. Thank you, Captain!”
Tang Beibei was grateful and got up to leave.
She went to get a glass of water and then she heard Xi Tong holler, “Tang
Beibei, someone is offering a huge reward to find you!”
Tang Beibei took a sip of water and asked with a smile, “Are you sure you got the right name?”
“Did you do something bad?” Someone teased.
Tang Beibei shrugged innocently. “What bad things can I do?”
-If you didn’t do anything bad, did you do something illegal? Otherwise why would they spend money to find you? Tang Beibei, if you have done something, come clean now and don’t implicate us.” Zou Deng said.
Tang Beibei didn’t know Zou Deng well, but Zou Deng was always with Xi Tong badmouthing her and Ruan Qi.
Ruan Qi was annoyed by Zou Deng’s sarcastic remarks and retorted, “Zou Deng no one will think that you are mute if you don’t say anything. Come clean? Why don’t you come clean about whether you are jealous of Beibei? Can’t you just wish her well?”
Zou Deng said begrudgingly, “If Tang Beibei didn’t do anything, why would they want to find her? You’re good friends with Tang Beibei. You will of course defend her.”
“If she really committed a crime and was arrested, maybe you could even become the young madam and take over her husband.”
Ruan Qi was short-tempered, so how could she tolerate Zou Deng’s sarcastic remarks? She stood up and pointed at Zou Deng, ready to physically fight her.
Zou Deng wouldn’t dare to provoke Tang Beibei, who was married to a rich second generation heir, but she wasn’t afraid of Ruan Qi. She rolled up her sleeves without any fear as she said, “I’m just speaking possibilities. Why are you so anxious if you’re not feeling guilty?”
“Zou Deng, did you just eat sh*t? Why do you speak such filthy words?” “Ruan Qi, you’re not that good either. I think you’re secretly hoping that something bad will happen to Tang Beibei. You stick to her like glue every day Have you been thinking about climbing into her husband’s bed all along?” Zou Deng was another person who had no filter. She would just say anything that popped into her head.
Seeing that the two were about to fight, Tang Beibei quickly went up to stop Ruan Qi.
“It’s a small matter. Don’t be angry. Some people should bring their brains with them when they leave home. How can they talk without their brains? If you hate her so much, I’ll catch a cockroach and feed it to her next time!”
Ruan Qi couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Zou Deng’s face turned pale. She felt so disgusted that she wanted to throw up when she thought about having a cockroach stuffed into her mouth.
Tang Beibei was puzzled and asked Xi Tong, “Why is someone looking for me?” “I don’t know. I was about to find out more when you guys started arguing.” Xi Tong said with schadenfreude.
Tang Beibei walked over to look at Xi Tong’s phone. It was a photo of her side profile with a link below.
She asked Xi Tong to click on the link. It turned out to be a report from Jingdu
A woman surnamed Wu fainted in a mall. A girl who was eating ice cream gave her ice cream to the man beside her and rushed over.
She calmly comforted the patient’s family and asked her about the patient’s condition. She then performed first aid and woke up the patient but she didn’t leave her name after the incident.
The lady surnamed Wu was the wife of an entrepreneur. Madam Wu reached out to Jingdu TV to help her find her savior.
The short video ended in less than a minute. Ruan Qi looked at Zou Deng again and said with a sneer, “Beibei is a hero who saved lives. This person is looking for her to repay a debt of gratitude, and not for the reasons some filthy person was insinuating.”
Zou Deng knew that Tang Beibei was a medical student, but she didn’t expect Tang Beibei to be so capable that she could save a stranger’s life in public.
Her face alternated between blue and black, and she did not dare to speak anymore.
Tang Beibei was also very surprised. She didn’t expect such a small matter to appear on Jingdu TV. She was really flattered.
She looked at Zou Deng expressionlessly. “Zou Deng, what did you say before?
Say it again.”
Zou Deng was extremely embarrassed. “I didn’t mean it that way. I was just joking.”
“Joking?”
Tang Beibei didn’t care what others said about her, but Zou Deng’s words about Ruan Qi were too mean. She had to teach her a lesson.
She looked at Zou Deng with an exaggerated expression on her face “Did you have to insult people with your joke? God gave you a mouth. You know how to insult people, but you don’t know how to apologize?”
The others stared at Zou Deng as if they were waiting for the drama to unfold.
Zou Deng was ashamed and indignant. She reluctantly said sorry before she quickly got up to go to the toilet.
Tang Beibei looked back at Xi Tong and said, “You scared us to death with your selective storytelling.”
Xi Tong was also very embarrassed. She thought she could watch Tang Beibei make a fool of herself. She didn’t expect it to be Tang Beibei’s glorious deeds.
“I’m sorry I didn’t make myself clear. Beibei, you’re quite amazing. You actually know how to save lives! This Madam Wu is willing to give you 50,000 yuan as a reward.”
Xi Tong’s last sentence was obviously meant to flatter Tang Beibei.
Tang Beibei ignored her and walked out with her phone.
She called the staff of Jingdu TV..
