After watching the evening show, Wang Feiyang suggested that Luo Ziling treat everyone to a late-night snack as a reward.
Everyone else joined in, cheering.
Of course, Luo Ziling agreed.
Even the older ones like Luo Liansheng, Dong Qiqing, and Wang Xuyun were willing to go with Luo Ziling and the others for a late-night snack.
Today, they were all interviewed, although they didn’t get much screen time.
Though their screen time was limited, their appearance on the show was of great significance in the eyes of their peers.
Having so many big shots from the realm of traditional medicine appear together on a single program greatly boosted the show’s prestige.
Moreover, their support for a young person was shocking to many in the field of traditional medicine.
Although Luo Ziling was quite famous, he was still young, and getting so many heavyweights in traditional medicine to endorse him was extraordinary.
Thus, after today’s program aired, it stirred a strong reaction in the traditional medicine field.
However, there were also many who criticized them.
Those old fossils who had been teaching at the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine for many years couldn’t help but curse Yan University for messing around when they saw so many young people teaching students on TV.
They felt that Yan University didn’t care about the students’ future at all, letting some young folks teach was sheer nonsense.
They completely disregarded the silent contributions made behind the scenes by stalwarts like Luo Liansheng, Dong Qiqing, and Wang Xuyun.
Some traditional medicine bigwigs who prided themselves on their status and position called or found other ways to express their dissatisfaction after seeing the broadcast, some even filed official complaints, asking higher authorities to intervene.
Within half a day, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Administration Bureau received over twenty complaint emails, and the staff answered hundreds of calls with similar content, causing the bureau’s leaders to feel immense pressure.
They understood that those filing complaints or voicing opinions held considerable status in the field of traditional medicine.
Their opinions couldn’t be ignored.
But they couldn’t investigate the matter further or negate what Luo Ziling and his team were doing.
This was something personally overseen and strongly supported by the top-tier bigwigs, and the bureau neither had the capability nor the likelihood to interfere.
But they couldn’t ignore these complaints either.
Eventually, after holding an emergency meeting, the management at the bureau came up with a solution: to organize a visit by experts and professors from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association to Yan University to inspect their teaching methods and laboratory facilities.
After reaching a resolution, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Administration Bureau officially reached out to the leadership at Yan University.
Li Jinhui, upon learning of this, didn’t respond right away but instead reached out to Luo Ziling, seeking his opinion.
Luo Ziling had no objections, saying that they welcomed anyone to visit for inspection.
Luo Ziling dismissed their protests, and did not oppose the bureau organizing expert visits, allowing Li Jinhui to breathe a sigh of relief and promptly replied to the bureau’s leaders, stating willingness to host the visiting group.
Luo Ziling was dining with Yang Qingyin when he received Li Jinhui’s call.
Following the airing of last night’s show, Luo Ziling’s popularity skyrocketed, with his Weibo follower count expanding by ten million in just one day.
There were at least a hundred media outlets eager to interview him, and the internet was awash with posts related to them; in fact, searches for content about them were among the top rankings. One could say that Luo Ziling and his buddies were dominating the online landscape.
Luo Ziling’s handsome face and calm demeanor captivated the hearts of many young women, married women, and even elderly women, with more and more women seeing Luo Ziling as their dream hero. Some girls even secretly vowed to meet Luo Ziling and see firsthand how attractive this national heartthrob truly was.
There were even some clever women plotting how to have a close encounter with Luo Ziling.
"How great would it be if, after getting close to him, I could conceive his child, passing on those excellent genes to the next generation," was a thought secretly harbored by many young women and married women.
Some who had such thoughts were already starting to ponder ways to successfully implement their plan, gearing up to take action.
While eating with Yang Qingyin, Luo Ziling would occasionally sneeze.
"Uh, maybe I caught a chill last night." Luo Ziling muttered gloomily while rubbing his nose, then fretfully asked Yang Qingyin, "Little Yang, did you watch the show last night? Were you impressed by my charisma?"
"Hmph, it’s just a face on TV, what’s the big deal!" Yang Qingyin was there when the TV reporter interviewed Luo Ziling, but she didn’t appear on camera.
As she wasn’t part of the team and didn’t wish to appear on TV as Luo Ziling’s girlfriend, she ended up being just a pretty passerby.
She did watch the interview program aired last night attentively.
After watching it, she felt quite happy and was pleased with what Luo Ziling had achieved.
Luo Ziling getting such promotion enhances his image and is beneficial for future accomplishments; of course she’d be happy about that.
However, when Luo Ziling proudly asked her about it, she still showed a dismissive attitude.
"Alas, not having your acknowledgment is such a failure!" Luo Ziling couldn’t help but sigh, reaching out to pinch Yang Qingyin’s even more beautiful face, "Is it because I didn’t serve you well last night, so you’re unsatisfied?"
Yang Qingyin’s face reddened instantly, and she slapped Luo Ziling’s hand away, "What nonsense are you spouting? Disgusting, saying anything and everything now."
"Anyhow, it’s just the two of us. Discussing accomplished things, what’s not to discuss?" Luo Ziling said earnestly with suppressed laughter, "Communication brings improvement, right? No matter what, improvement grows through communication, even these things, communication brings harmony..."
He couldn’t continue speaking because Yang Qingyin, blushing madly, had him by the ear.
"Keep talking about this absurd stuff, and you’ll face the consequences!" Yang Qingyin initially wanted to say she’d tear his ear off, but realizing that threat bore little weight, instead resorted to the kind of threat most girls would use, and after saying so, she added indignantly, "You’re so disgusting, no integrity at all. National hero? More like a national rogue! Hmph, I won’t keep you company tonight."
"Then come accompany me, won’t you? Serve me well tonight as a reward?" Luo Ziling said, abruptly reaching out to touch Yang Qingyin’s chest.
Yang Qingyin screamed, her face turning an even deeper shade of red.
But in the end, she didn’t reject him.
