I Can Talk to the Internal Organs

Jianghan Traditional Chinese Medicine Youth Activity Center.

Today is the official inauguration of the Youth Palace.

Lu Jiu, Huang Fusheng, Shen Congwei, along with a group of medical staff and relevant leaders from the Health and Wellness Committee and the Municipal Culture and Tourism Bureau attended the unveiling ceremony.

After the ceremony, all the staff were in position.

There are many activity boards at the Youth Palace.

But the main focus is still on traditional Chinese medicine.

Currently, Lu Jiu has hired teachers for calligraphy, guqin, traditional Chinese painting, and also chess, Go, martial arts coaches, and Chinese classics teachers.

Among them, the Chinese classics teachers are quite similar to traditional Chinese medicine teachers, with three in total, while the other subjects only have one or two teachers.

The reason Lu Jiu hired so many Chinese classics teachers is because the foundation of ancient Chinese literature is very important in studying traditional Chinese medicine.

Understanding ancient Chinese literature makes learning traditional Chinese medicine much more efficient.

Of course, ancient Chinese texts are not too difficult.

Works like "Enlarged Adages" or the "Three Character Classic" are all content from ancient children’s enlightenment education.

In terms of teaching, Lu Jiu doesn’t have many requirements, only one: it must be fun.

To be honest, kids today are already tired enough, whether at school or at home.

Many children feel overwhelmed by the pressure of learning.

If they are forced to study at a place like the Youth Palace, what difference would it make from a tutoring center?

Therefore, Lu Jiu doesn’t require these teachers to impart a lot of knowledge to the children, just to have fun with them.

If children are genuinely interested in something, they won’t need you to teach them; they’ll beg to learn it from you and won’t feel tired at all.

With the Youth Palace running, the next step is to team up with the TV station for a traditional Chinese medicine knowledge competition.

Yan Sansi had already prepared the plan, just waiting for the day when Lu Jiu’s Youth Palace was inaugurated.

...

Jianghan TV Station.

Program Department.

"Alright, alright, I understand, okay, we’ll start to push forward immediately. Have you already informed the Education Bureau? That’s great, by the way, the competition venue is at the Youth Palace, right? What about the judges? Provincial medical experts, alright, this lineup is impeccable, alright, Dean Lu, we’re starting right away."

After finishing the call with Lu Jiu, Yan Sansi notified everyone in the program department team chat to gather for a meeting.

Ten minutes later, in the third-floor meeting room.

Yan Sansi and colleagues from the program department were already seated in the office.

"The traditional Chinese medicine knowledge competition that I mentioned last time can now be launched. Brother Liu, Haozi, Teacher Guo, each of you will be responsible for one camera position—one for filming the judges, one for the contestants, and one for the host."

"Xiao Mo, you take the new interns for interviews, mainly interviewing some children and parents. Remember, every child and parent must be interviewed; these shots are very important."

"Juanjuan, the contestant number plates and judge name signs should be prepared in advance. There will be a lot of participants in this event, and we are not only going to broadcast it on TV but also select some outstanding contestants to make short videos for TikTok."

"Of course, besides filming people, make sure to get plenty of shots of the Youth Palace. Before this event kicks off, we will also produce a special feature on the Youth Palace to build anticipation for the event. Brother Jing, you’re the best at making specials, so it’s up to you this time too."

"Lastly, for the live broadcast, Xiao Zhang, you’re the best with TikTok live streams. You’ll team up with Tech President Zhu, and the rest of the team will handle the logistics."

"Alright, those are the main points. The detailed plan is outlined in the document I posted in the group chat, so you can go through it on your own. Let’s now discuss the specific details."

After Yan Sansi finished speaking, other colleagues started to chime in.

"Brother Yan, is this event charging a fee?" Cao Jing asked.

Organizing such events takes a lot of time and requires everyone to give up their rest time, so this time is usually compensated as overtime, thus sponsorship is always considered. Without it, the event is typically not pursued as it would be a financial loss.

Yan Sansi laughed and said, "Of course there is a fee; Dean Lu is providing three hundred thousand, which will be settled immediately after the event, with no delays."

Oh?

Hearing this, everyone was quite surprised.

Three hundred thousand isn’t considered high for the standard costs of a TV station event.

But it’s rare for anyone to settle the payment on time.

There have even been instances where goods were used to settle debts.

Once, they carried out an event where the sponsor was a liquor seller, and when it was time to settle the final payment after the event, the sponsor said they were out of money and could only use liquor for compensation.

In the end, the TV station had no choice but to accept the liquor and distribute it to employees as wages.

"Brother Yan, this Chinese medicine knowledge competition is limited to young participants; won’t there be a lack of contestants on the day?"

"I think the same. Even I don’t understand traditional Chinese medicine; can those kids grasp it?"

"Don’t forget, the Experimental Primary School in our city offers traditional Chinese medicine classes."

"But what can they learn?"

"Even if they learn something, I bet it’s not much. They might end up knowing nothing when questioned onstage. Will such a competition be worth watching?"

"Why does it matter? We’re getting paid, so we do it. Whether the results are good doesn’t concern us."

"..."

Yan Sansi laughed and said, "No need to worry about participants. Dean Lu has already coordinated with the Education Bureau; a few hundred, if not a thousand, participants are assured. As for the contest’s outcome, kids appearing on camera are entertaining regardless of their performance."

"Juanjuan, your child’s every little move can make your group chat buzz for days. Your social media might become a collection of your son’s antics in the future."

Feng Juanjuan laughed, "Hahaha, isn’t becoming a parent all just for the fun of it?"

The crowd burst into laughter at the remark.

A moment later, Yan Sansi raised his hand to signal for quiet.

"Alright, we’ll start preparations tomorrow. Provide me with two contact numbers for the participant registration, and I’ll report them to Dean Lu so he can notify students’ parents to sign up. Also, today we’ll go to the Youth Palace and set up the competition venue, aiming to complete all preparations within a week."

...

Nanyuan District.

"Grandma, I want to participate in the competition." Jiang Zeshen ran into the kitchen after dropping his schoolbag at home.

Jiang Zeshen’s grandmother, Wu Mei, smiled, "What competition?"

Jiang Shizhong laughed, "A traditional Chinese medicine knowledge competition. He’s been talking about it since he got out of school. He said it’s something their teacher encouraged them to join."

Wu Mei smiled and said, "My grandson knows so much; he definitely should participate. By the way, are there any prizes?"

Jiang Zeshen replied, "Yes, just registering gets you an excellence award certificate, three Chinese medicine manga books -- I already have them. Grandma, the first place prize is a certificate signed by a National Master of Chinese Medicine, plus a five thousand yuan bonus and a set of medical books."

"Grandma, I’m sure I can win first place."

Wu Mei smiled, "If my grandson says he can, then he surely can. But don’t put too much pressure on yourself; it’s alright if we don’t get first place."

Jiang Zeshen shook his head, "No way, I’m going for first."

This child...

Wu Mei didn’t want to dampen his confidence, "Alright, let’s aim for first place. Now go wash your hands and get ready for dinner."
