Chapter 746 - Rainbow after the storm

Translator: Thyaeria

The second day after Su Tao left Seven Mountain Village, the center of the epidemic, central media started to swarm in and reported the patients’ recovery. As society slowly returned to normal, factory operations went back to normal, schools were re-opened, and quarantine regions were re-opened. Under the guidance of controversy, the public slowly got rid of their fear of the epidemic and regained their conference.

“Mom, isn’t that Senior Brother?!” Yan Sha was stunned. She had been watching television during most of her time in the hotel, in which she found a news report with Su Tao being interviewed by the media by coincidence.

“That’s right; it’s him.” Jiang Qinghan also felt energetic after sweeping a glance at it.

“Senior Brother looks really tense. Look at how his voice is trembling!” Yan Sha laughed. It’s a great weakness for Su Tao to have a phobia for the camera since he would always tense up before one. But during such a special occasion, Su Tao had no choice but to force himself.

“As a medical worker who came in contact with the virus the earliest, may I ask what made you volunteer yourself?” A reporter asked.

On the television, Su Tao replied with an ‘emotionless’ face, “Firstly, I did not go into the center of the epidemic alone. There were many young representatives of TCM that went along with me on this mission. Secondly, as physicians, we have a duty and obligation to bear the pressure in the face of an epidemic.”

“This time, you and the famous international virology specialist, Andrewson, resolved the crisis together and found the cure. According to Mr. Andrewson, he hopes to submit the fruit of the research by the two of you for this year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. What do you think about that?” The reporter asked again.

Su Tao still maintained ‘calm and composed’ as he answered, “The award is nothing but a reputation. I’m more concerned about the worth of our research if it can alleviate the patient’s pain and suffering. As for Doctor Andrewson’s intentions, I will do my best to work together with him, but it will not be my main focus. My main focus is still on being a physician and promoting Qihuang Charity Funds to let more people know that TCM isn’t inferior to western medicine. It’s a treasure left to us by our ancestors...”

Yan Sha’s eyes were fixed on the screen as she laughed, “Although Senior Brother did not have any emotion on his face and even looked tense, what he said makes sense, and it’s inspiring.”

“He’s probably spending most of his time thinking about how to promote TCM, so even if he’s nervous at this moment, he had to speak up.” Jiang Qinghan smiled.

“Did my Senior Brother become a hero this time?” Yan Sha sighed.

She still wouldn’t react to the fact that one of the people closest to her had become the key figure in resolving this national crisis.

“Even without this incident, he will definitely become a national hero sooner or later. After all, his personality has already determined it.” Jiang Qinghan smiled.

In the past, Jiang Qinghan would always think of Su Tao as a troublemaker, and he would even stick himself out in times of danger. But at this moment, she had figured it all out. It was precisely this trait that formed this scene before her.

When the doorbell suddenly rang out, Jiang Qinghan went to open the door, seeing that Yan Sha was focused on watching Su Tao’s interview. But when she opened the door, she saw Su Tao standing outside.

Waving the takeaway boxes in his hand, Su Tao smiled, “Surprise! I bought something to eat for you guys!”

When Yan Sha heard Su Tao’s voice, she was startled as she jumped up, “Holy, how did you come out from the television?”

Rolling her eyes at her daughter, Jiang Qinghan snapped, “The news report was pre-recorded, not a live broadcast.”

As Yan Sha blushed, she murmured, “Isn’t it because I was too surprised and couldn’t recover from it?”

When she finished, she went over and took the takeaway boxes from Su Tao. Opening one up, she exclaimed, “It’s actually barbecue! This is too much of a surprise!”

“Why are you looking like a hungry ghost?” Su Tao smiled.

“Don’t think that you’re the only one having it tough on the mountain. We weren’t doing great as well. Because of the epidemic, we could only stay in the hotel every day, not to mention that the food in the hotel is expensive and it doesn’t taste good.” Yan Sha smiled before she added, “I’ll go and call Little Wen over and improve her diet.”

Leaping over to the bedside, she made a call with the phone and smiled. “Little Wen, get your mother and come to my room quickly. I have a surprise for you!”

A brief moment later, when Little Wen came over with her mother, Little Wen exclaimed, “Big Brother Su, what are you doing here?”

As she spoke, her face turned red.

“I’m done with my things, so I came to take a look at you guys.” Su Tao waved his hand and smiled. “I’m sorry. I never expected that your graduation trip would result in this manner. The tourism attractions will open in the next few days, and I can join you guys on this trip. Oh, where are your other friends?”

“They felt that Yundian Province was too dangerous a few days ago during the epidemic fever and returned to Hanzhou City, fearing that they might be affected.” Yan Sha shrugged her shoulders and sighed, “Only Little Wen was loyal and stayed with me to wait for you.”

“I won’t talk to them anymore when I go back.” Little Wen muttered.

A young lady who was sixteen to seventeen was especially sensitive. In this trip, she could sense that the mothers of her friends looked down on her mother while currying favor with Jiang Qinghan, making the introvert Little Wen’s heart turn cold.

Seeing that Little Wen and Yan Sha were fighting over the food, Su Tao smiled at their friendship. “What do you guys think if you guys can study in the same Senior High School?”

“But it’s a pity that I couldn’t make it in.” Yan Sha shrugged.

“I’m asking if you want to be in the same school as Little Wen.” Su Tao pursued before he continued, “It will be stressful to study under that environment.”

“Stress is nothing...” Yan Sha’s eyes suddenly lit up as she exclaimed, “Senior Brother, you intend to let me go to Little Wen’s Senior High School?”

“I’m at least 90% confident.” Su Tao smiled. Based on his relationship with Du Ping and Zhang Ping, getting someone into the best school in the city shouldn’t be a problem.

Su Tao was mainly concerned that Yan Sha would definitely face brutal competition in going to Little Wen’s school. At that time, if Yan Sha couldn’t follow up on the tempo, it would make her feel inferior.

But if Yan Sha was confident, Su Tao would definitely do his best to clear up the connections.

“Do you really have a way? Schools will re-open in a month.” Jiang Qinghan might be impartial and doing things officially, but she also had some thoughts since it was related to Yan Sha’s studies. However, she couldn’t do anything to help since there’s a drastic difference in Yan Sha’s scores, nor did she know anyone in the education field.

All parents were the same, and Jiang Qinghan wasn’t an exception.

“It will depend on Yan Sha.” Su Tao smiled.

“I’m naturally willing to go to a better Senior High School.” Yan Sha smiled as she continued, “But it’s really humiliating that I couldn’t get in with my own ability.”

“Then, you will have to be mentally prepared for three years of hell.” Su Tao smiled.

“Shasha, I guarantee that no one will laugh at you.” Little Wen replied with an earnest expression.

“Yeah, I believe that I won’t be that bad compared to others!” Yan Sha stuck her tongue out as she peeked at Su Tao before she immediately lowered her head.

Su Tao knew what she meant so he left the room and gave a call to Du Ping in a remote corner.

When Du Ping saw that it was a call from Su Tao, he immediately became excited and laughed, “Hero, you’re really in the limelight this time. It’s my honour that I can be your friend.”

“I’ll not beat around the bush. I do have something that I need your help with. My Junior Sister had just ended her Junior High Examination, and I would like to find a decent Senior High School for her.” Su Tao replied.

“It won’t be a problem! Are you thinking of Qiongjin Senior High School? I have a classmate working there with some connections in the education field, so it won’t be a problem for me to get his help.” Du Ping said with confidence. This tiny help was nothing compared to all the help that Su Tao had done for him, not to mention his massive investments in Hanzhou City.

“No need for Qiongjin Senior High School. I’m thinking of Hanzhou Senior High School. It’s closer to home and also more convenient for us to take care of her.” Su Tao then sounded his concern, “But I’m worried that she might feel inferior if other students find out that she relied on connections to get into the school. Furthermore, will it be tough for her to catch up on studies?”

“You don’t have to worry about that!” When Du Ping heard that it was sorting out the relations in Hanzhou Senior High School, it was naturally much easier. Just a few days ago, he was having a meal with several education specialists in the city.

“I will contact the school and get someone to help her, ensuring that her studies will catch up as soon as possible.”

“Then, I will have to trouble you on that.” Su Tao expressed his gratitude.

“This is nothing!” Du Ping then suddenly face-palmed and continued, “Mr. Zhang intends to ask you out for a meal when you return to Hanzhou City, so you have to take some time out.”

“It’s my honor to be invited by the Secretary of the Municipal Committee.” Su Tao smiled.

“The Qihuang Charity Funds has really placed Hanzhou City in the limelight. The Secretary of the Provincial Committee praised Mr. Zhang during the province conference, expressing that Hanzhou City has taken the lead in the entire province. Furthermore, he also supported Mr. Zhang’s decision to partner with Three Flavour International to forge Hanzhou City into a TCM city.”

“This is the fortune of those in TCM like me, and I really have to thank Mr. Zhang for that.” Su Tao said from his heart.

Su Tao was inferior to Du Ping when it comes to politics, but he knew that he would definitely need the support of politics to develop TCM.

It was an unexpected surprise for him that an entire city was changed due to him.

Then again, that also meant that he would be under more pressure. He had to prove that their choice and trust were right by using his actions.

Returning to the room, Su Tao gave Yan Sha an ‘OK’ symbol, signaling that it had been resolved.

Now, it’s time for him to plan their trip to relax.

After a storm, it’s natural for rainbows to appear.
