ETERNAL LOVE : A LOVE STORY

Chapter 680 - Press Conference V

Grandfather Su sighed when Old Lu came back to his seat after passing the sword to him. He glanced at him before picking up the mic on the table. Unlike him, he didn't go to the podium and just leaned to the front when he started speaking.

" You guys must know about me since you were whispering too loud when we just arrived. However, even if you don't know, then kindly search on the internet because I am too lazy to do my introduction." He said while weaning serious expressions.

Su Jin who was sitting beside him chuckled but Lu Feng placed a hand on hers to stop her from laughing. She glanced at him and pursed her lips. She shook her head wondering why everyone was so serious? How can she not laugh? Her Grandfather is so savage.

" Mr. Su, we are very well aware of your achievements in both western and oriental medicine fields. However, we want to know more about Ms. Xie's medical achievements that Mr. Lu talked about." A reporter asked.

" You said that Xie Ming is your disciple a while ago. When did you get to know her and how she became your disciple? Because as we know she has majored in business which has no relation with oriental medicine." Another reporter questioned on which everyone nodded since they were all curious about this thing.

" Hmm… achievements. The video of Xie Ming treating Yang Mi with acupuncture on the road was one of her medical achievements. It was also the first time when I saw her while she was treating her. At that time, I didn't saw the woman's face and couldn't recognise that it was Yang Mi who was lying there but I noticed Xie Ming's hand movements which were agile while she was putting needles on her, at the right points."

" Truthfully speaking, what she did was very difficult since the doctors sometimes use the technology to put the needles on the right points when the condition of the patient is too critical. However, she just put them so easily without any help which shocked me. I was already interested in her when I saw her for the first time."

" However, after a while, my granddaughter Su Jin contacted me telling me about a girl who claimed that she thinks that a young boy she saw in the lobby was showing the initial symptoms of autism. Yes, the other video that you all saw, my granddaughter was the doctor in charge of that boy."

The reporters were once again shocked at the turn of events. When he gestured to Su Jin and introduced her as the doctor in charge of that little boy, she smiled professionally and leaned forward as well.

" To tell you about autism in simple language, it is a serious developmental disorder that impairs the ability to communicate and interact. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a definite cure yet. It depends on the condition and sometimes it doesn't interfere in the child's daily life in future but if it gets serious, it can be difficult for them and for their family as well to take care of them." The old man explained everything which he never told anyone before.

" However, in some cases, if it is caught early then it could be treated with therapies. Sometimes people found out about it early or sometimes later. In that boy's case, the symptoms were not that serious and obvious. That's why when Xie Ming claimed that he is autistic, everyone condemned her including his father and even my daughter who is a great neuro pediatrician. They all doubted her and said that she was spouting nonsense since she had no degree in doctors or knowledge of medicine"

Su Jin knitted her brows and covered her face with her hand in embarrassment. Does he really have to talk about it?

" However, when the boy was checked on Xie Ming's constant request, they found that he was indeed showing the early symptoms of autism. He must have shown some symptoms earlier as well but sometimes the family fails to notice those symptoms. That's what happened in that boy's case. If not for Xie Ming, his condition won't be found out early considering his situation and if his family continued to treat him like normally as they were doing earlier, his condition would have gotten worse soon." He didn't talk much about the father using aggression towards his son since he was not in a position to do so.

" In short, that video showed you only a part of the truth. The truth is, Xie Ming didn't insult the father or the boy but instead she saved his condition from worsening."

The reporters looked at each other in shock as they couldn't believe that the questions that they had for Xie Ming, they all turned out to be rumors or false claims.

Su Jin picked up the mic and added, " To tell you about the boy's condition, he is getting his treatment at the hospital and is doing fine. Thankfully his condition found out at the right time and it prevented it from getting serious. Do you still have questions about those videos or rumors?" She asked.

The reporters were quiet and felt a little ashamed because of the articles they wrote previously. They all insulted Xie Ming, questioning her irresponsible actions.

Grandfather Su placed the mic and drank some water as his throat felt dried due to speaking so much.

" Mr. Su, you answered everything but how come Xie Ming knew so much about oriental medicine when she majored in the business? Business and medicine make no sense to me."

Grandfather Su glanced at Xie Ming. This question was the hardest to answer.

At this, Xie Ming took the mic to answer, " I think I should be the one to answer this question."

Everyone looked at her expectantly.

" You're right. Medicine and business have no relation with each other. However, oriental medicine is different from western medicine you know. In western medicine, you know that it has so many side effects and complications that oriental medicine doesn't have. Maybe that's why it has quite limitations when treating the patients since we can't find a cure for all kinds of diseases."

" When I moved abroad, I was living alone when I found out about oriental medicine. Out of interest, I started studying about it in my free time, and just like that, I read more than 100 books in a year. That's my average mark in university was low, you know." she chuckled as she lied outrightly.

" Fortunately, I met my Master while I was abroad and learned about oriental medicine and the technique of acupuncture and about new medicines from him which guided me at every point. Without his help, I won't be able to do anything. It was because of his teachings, that I became well versed in oriental medicine. However, unfortunately, I didn't get any certificate since he was not teaching me professionally as I had no interest to make it my profession." she said seriously which convinced everyone.

" Who is your Master Xie Ming? We want to know who taught you such great skills that the top doctor of the country is praising you this much."

Xie Ming smiled hearing the reporter's question and replied, " His name was..Zhao Bai. I

used to call him Master Zhao Bai."

Liwei turned to her in surprise and was shocked that she told them about her father. This was the same thing, she told him when he asked her about it.

" Zhao Bai? I have heard this name before. Isn't it the name of the person who created many techniques and medicines in the field of oriental medicine in the past? I know a little bit of history you know."

Xie Ming smiled at the reporter and said, " You're right. However, this was only his made up name, just like a pseudonym for an author. He is a very mysterious and quiet type of person you know." she said which made everyone wonder why a person wants to be so secretive and hide his capabilities

"Xie Ming, where does he live? Does he stay abroad now?"

Xie Ming pursed her lips and stayed quiet. She remembered her father as she was speaking but saying that he is dead...that too long ago was a little difficult for her. To make everyone believe her words, she made a story. But it somehow feels wrong.

Xie Ming didn't say anything while reporters were waiting for her response. Liwei glanced at Tang Nian and signaled her to end the press conference.

Tang Nian took over the stagnant press conference and started speaking, " Now enough for the question. Since we have discussed the first two important matters, I would like to discuss Xie Ming's future plans at Global World with everyone."

" Since you all heard from Mr. Lu that she has been appointed as the head doctor at the Life hospital, she won't be able to take over the big projects like movies or dramas since her work doesn't allow this. But with deliberation, we have decided that she will complete her contract period. Even though she won't take the big projects, we are sure that we will be able to find something suitable for her schedule. In short, she is not leaving the entertainment industry, at least yet but is starting her new journey to serve the country as a doctor now."

Yesterday, Xie Ming called her and told her that she won't cancel the contract but instead will do the projects which will adjust to her schedule. She doesn't want to leave the company after canceling it since it doesn't feel right to her.

Tang Nian was of course elated and gladly accepted this offer. Xie Ming is not only the artist but Lady boss as well. How can she deny her request? In fact, she was impressed that she told her that she doesn't want to leave the industry. However, at that time she didn't tell her about her being the head doctor at the Life hospital and just added some hints that she won't be doing much of acting projects.

But it was still better than leaving early after canceling the contract.
