While leaving the stage, Su Tao left a bunch of people behind. The host still wanted to interview Su Tao and share his thoughts about this victory, but Su Tao did not feel the necessity for it. He had already proven his strength by winning, and he might stir trouble if he said anything. After all, this wasn't his home ground. As the saying goes, disaster originates from the mouth. There's no lack of ferocious characters in South Korea, and he didn't want to get involved in any trouble.
Walking over, Murong Hong wore an amiable smile on his face. His att.i.tude had completely changed at this moment. Looking at the former, Su Tao had also buried the hatchet. Truth be told, he would also suspect himself if he was in Murong Hong's shoes and worried that TCM might suffer another blow.
"I apologise for the words I've spoken earlier!" Murong Hong gave a deep bow towards Su Tao.
Su Tao immediately supported Murong Hong and replied, "Senior Murong, I can't accept this bow from you. I can understand your previous concern, and it's also because of your motivation that steeled my confidence."
Murong Hong had tears welling up in his eyes as he sighed, "Su Tao, aside from apologising to you, I'm also thanking you. Your performance today brought honor back to TCM. It's fulfilling to see how you brought the honor that Kim Jung-ho took from us last year back. You've brought glory to the country and TCM, so I naturally have to declare my position."
With a modest smile, Su Tao replied, "Senior Murong, I can feel your heart. Old Song and Old Dou have told me about you being an honest person, and even I felt admiration for what you've done for TCM."
Murong Hong felt that Su Tao's character was simple. The latter had a clear differentiation between black and white. He's someone who would give respect upon receiving it. On the contrary, he would retaliate if you insult him in the face. Someone like him wasn't hateful, especially when it's a capable young man. Thus, he couldn't help but gently pat Su Tao's shoulder and promised, "Old Song and Old Dou have been trying to persuade me into join the TCM Alliance, and I've agreed to it now. From tomorrow onwards, I will do my part in developing the TCM Alliance."
Upon receiving this news, Su Tao couldn't help smiling before letting out a sigh, "If Senior Murong is willing to join the TCM Alliance, I believe many people will follow your lead."
"The TCM a.s.sociation is too stiff, and they no longer seek to develop. They're lacking in the power to rally supporters and loyalty. Old Song has a vision that the development of the TCM Alliance will bring a powerful driving force for TCM's inheritance and promotion." Murong Hong confidently smiled.
Su Tao and Murong Hong could be said to have created a friends.h.i.+p through discord. Despite the contradiction they had in the past, the knot between them had been resolved.
The reason for it was simple, Murong Hong's wrath lied in Su Tao's arrogance to represent TCM and challenge TKM. But the reality has proven that Su Tao actually was that capable and obtained a victory without any suspense. Since he could force his prideful enemy into admitting defeat, it was no longer arrogance, but confidence.
When Murong Hong left, he was in a great mood. Although this was a distinguished meeting for Western Medicine, he felt every single one of his steps were sonorous.
The reason was simple. TCM was proven to be effective in treating tumours. Even if not everyone possessed that skill, it proved that TCM had an indispensable position in modern medicine.
The specialist from the Netherlands, Bath, glanced at Gillette. The latter was still in shock, and even the contempt that was on his face has disappeared.
"Am I seeing things right? Such a long needle actually treated the tumour in the intestines? It must be a scam!" Gillette was still reluctant to accept this fact.
"Traditional medical inheritance has its own speciality, and I've decided to research TCM. Gillette, do you want to cooperate with me?" Bath smiled. With the truth laid before their eyes, Gillette had been fully convinced by Su Tao's skills, despite his words.
"Yes, I definitely must research TCM. But, I'm doing it in the hope of exposing the sham of TCM!" Gillette proudly declared.
"Alright then, how much are you going to invest in the research?" Gillette teased.
