Chapter 774 - Qualifications (1/2)

Zhuo Bufan glanced at him meaningfully and said, “From now on, we’re in the same team. If there’s anything you don’t understand, just tell me.”

Guo Tao said, “The situation is indeed very urgent this time. I heard that seven or eight villagers have been infected with the virus. If the epidemic is not effectively controlled, the consequences will be very serious.

“For now, Western medicine can cure diseases, and the Biochemistry Institute can study and analyze the rare virus. Our Biological Research Center can give information on bats so that we can find the source of the virus.

“But I don’t understand why we need doctors of traditional Chinese medicine. What can they do? Can it be that those roots and rotten leaves can eliminate the virus? I don’t believe it.”

“Hey, what are you talking about? What do you mean by saying Western medicine can cure diseases? Can’t we doctors of traditional Chinese medicine cure diseases?”

It turned out that this guy was trying to beat around the bush and insult traditional Chinese medicine. His target was Qin Haodong, but the first one to stand out against him was Sun Bowei.

Although Sun Bowei didn’t like Qin Haodong, the Sun family had been working as traditional Chinese medicine practitioners for generations, and they regarded Sun Simiao as their ancestor. How could they allow others to slander traditional Chinese medicine?

Guo Tao said with disdain, “What’s the problem? Am I wrong? Chinese medicine practitioners can deal with minor diseases such as colds and fevers. But what else can you do?

“Do you know how many species of viruses there are? Do you know what kind of structure the virus is? Do you know what kind of antibiotics is effective for the virus? Do you know what treatment methods are the most targeted?”

“I…”

Sun Bowei was silenced by Guo Tao’s series of questions. Although he had also been in college, he majored in traditional Chinese medicine, so he knew nothing about Western medicine.

Sun Fengqing shook his head slightly. His grandson was still too young to bridle his temper.

Qin Haodong, on the other hand, had a better impression of Sun Bowei, who had stood up and protected traditional Chinese medicine at this time, which had won his favor.

He said, “Mr. Guo, right? I don’t think your questions make sense. We study traditional Chinese medicine. TCM has its own medical system. There is no need to know about Western medicine knowledge.”

Sun Bowei came to his senses and said, “That’s right. We are doctors of traditional Chinese medicine. All we need to do is treat the patients. Why do we need to study those viruses?”

Guo Tao glared at Qin Haodong and said, “I don’t want to talk too much about medicine, but the source of infection is very likely to be a bat. How much do you know about bats?

“Do you know how many teeth bats have? Do you know what kind of life habits bats have? Do you know how many kinds of blood powder bats carry on their bodies?”

His questions were imposing. He believed that this toy boy couldn’t answer such professional questions at all.

Sure enough, Qin Haodong shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”

“You know nothing. What qualifications do you have to join the expert panel? Is it because you have a plane?”

Guo Tao was now confident. After all, the plane was in mid-air now. No matter how powerful Qin Haodong was, he couldn’t ask the plane to turn around and fly back, let alone drive him down from the air.

It was because of this that he dared to stand up and provoke Qin Haodong unscrupulously. He wanted to humiliate Qin Haodong and win others’ approval.

But this time, Qin Haodong did not pay attention to him at all. Instead, he said to Su Hui with a smile, “We just left in a hurry and haven’t had lunch yet. Are you hungry?”

Su Hui nodded. She had been busy for the whole morning. It was already 1:10 p.m., and she was indeed hungry.

Moreover, the capital was thousands of kilometers away from Yunnan Province. They were expected to arrive at dusk, so they had to have lunch.

They were not the only ones who were hungry. The others had also rushed to the plane and no one had time to have lunch.

So no one spoke anymore, and all of them were waiting for lunch.

“Well, let’s have lunch,” Qin Haodong said as he waved to the two flight attendants next to him. They immediately began to serve the meal.

The lunch was a set meal. There were plenty of dishes on each plate, including beef with sauce, braised chicken pieces, steamed fish, a few vegetables, and rice, which smelled good and woke up their appetite.

The flight attendants distributed the set meals and give one to each of them. But Guo Tao got nothing.

He suddenly became anxious and shouted, “Qin Haodong, what do you mean by this? Do you want to avenge yourself?”

Qin Haodong picked up a piece of beef with sauce, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly. After swallowing it, he said faintly, “Mr. Guo, I also want to ask you a few questions to see if you know the answers.”

Guo Tao said angrily, “You’re not convinced, are you? As long as they are biology-related questions, I can definitely give you the correct answer.”

In terms of professional knowledge, although he was not as good as Professor Wang Aimin, he thought that he was a hundred times better than others.

Qin Haodong pointed at the braised chicken in front of him with his chopsticks and said, “Mr. Guo, tell me, what was the color of this chicken when it was alive?”

“I…”

Guo Tao almost choked on his own saliva. No one could answer such a question.

Qin Haodong smiled and said, “You don’t know the answer, do you? Then tell me, how much hair did this cow have when it was alive? How many scales did this fish have? How much food did they eat? How much did it weigh?”

Guo Tao said angrily, “Qin Haodong, what kind of bullsh*t questions are these? Who can answer them?”

Qin Haodong said indifferently, “Since you can’t answer the questions, what qualifications do you have to eat?”

The people around him burst into laughter. Originally, they thought that Qin Haodong had swallowed his anger, but they didn’t expect that the young man’s counterattack would be so specific and so sharp.

Guo Tao flushed, and his face was as red as the pig’s liver. He said indignantly, “Do these questions have something to do with my lunch?”
