“Yes.”
As the host posed this question to him, Fang Qiu had no hesitation in answering it. “I do have something to say, not merely to Jiang Mengjie, my dear old classmate who just won the championship, but also to all the contestants of the second season of the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor and all the people who are passionate about Chinese Medicine.”
Everyone stared at Fang Qiu, waiting expectantly to hear what he would say.
Xu Miaolin and the other two judges awaited his speech. Jiang Miaoyu, a bit disgruntled, was also looking forward to hearing it. All the contestants from the second season of the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor, the host, the audience at the studio and all the audience who were watching the livestream online were eagerly anticipating his remarks.
On the stage, Fang Qiu glanced at all the people present.
His eyes shifted to Jiang Mengjie’s face, and he flashed her a gentle smile. Then he turned to the livestream camera and said with due care and respect, “I don’t know about other industries. But as a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine and the champion of the first season of the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor, I want to say that the championship is just the beginning!”
“Before this show, not many people knew about us. As the program went on and we won the championship in the end, we got the honor as champions and became fairly popular, gaining precious knowledge of Chinese Medicine and a lot of people’s trust.”
“What we do should be worthy of the honor we’ve received. We must live up to the general public’s trust and be determined to become the good doctor in the general public’s hearts.”
“Also, I want to encourage those contestants who haven’t come to the fore. All of you are excellent, awesome doctors of Chinese Medicine. I hope you can stick to Chinese Medicine and keep up your unremitting efforts.”

“At the same time, I’d like to wish all the contestants and my old classmate, the champion, that you will all become the champions in the hearts of our patients one day in the future.”
“And I will work even harder to fulfill this wish!”
Fang Qiu finished his brief speech.
He returned the microphone to the host.
“Clap, clap, clap…”
All the people applauded enthusiastically.
Fang Qiu’s remarks touched everyone.
What else was there to say?
Fang Qiu’s words adequately conveyed his vision. Everyone who heard this felt an irresistible impulse to applaud Chinese Medicine.
Of course.
If any expert or professor said this, the broad mass of netizens would laugh at them and tease them mercilessly because they would never earnestly practice what they advocated.
But when the promise came from Fang Qiu, everyone treated it seriously.
It was because Fang Qiu was true to his word!
They were willing to believe in him!
Tens of millions of netizens were watching the Central Television’s livestream.
After hearing Fang Qiu’s speech, they all sighed with emotion.
“I’m sure he is the genuine Fang Qiu.”
“Absolutely true! Fang Qiu is totally real.”
“This is Fang Qiu.”
“Legendary Fang Qiu is quite out of the ordinary. His perspective is wide enough!”
“Fang Qiu is qualified to say such lofty things. I admire and adore him for the colossal sum of money he has contributed, the considerable efforts he paid for rural health care, and the things he has done for the development of Chinese Medicine!”
“Legendary Fang Qiu, powerful and awesome!”
For a time, these netizens wildly sent all kinds of bullet screens, which appeared continuously like raindrops on the livestream of Central Television, filling the screen to the full.
On the stage, Xu Miaolin and the other two highly-skilled doctors spontaneously nodded and applauded Fang Qiu’s speech. Very professionally and quickly, the host let himself be carried away by the vibrant atmosphere.
All the contestants off stage nodded excitedly.
In their eyes, Fang Qiu was undoubtedly the topmost doctor of traditional Chinese medicine at present. His words offered them excessively active encouragement that could inspire them to keep up their efforts for the rest of their lives!
“Great.”
Listening to the audience’s sustained applause, the host roared out his approval and said, “Next, let’s welcome our champion, Jiang Mengjie. She will give us an acceptance speech!”
While speaking, the host handed the microphone to Jiang Mengjie.
She took over the microphone.
After a brief pause, she cast her eye on Fang Qiu next to her. Then she looked at the fans under the stage and said with a light smile, “Little Qiu is right.”
The way she addressed him astonished everyone.
In the blink of an eye, bullet screens flooded the livestream on the Internet.
“Little Qiu?”
“Is Legendary Fang Qiu small?”
“It sounds like she is on familiar terms with him.”
“I’ve never heard anyone address Fang Qiu in that way.”
“Could it be Legendary Fang Qiu’s childhood name? What a surprise to hear Goddess Jiang Mengjie addressing Legendary Fang Qiu so intimately.”
“Fang Qiu and Jiang Mengjie must be on good terms.”
“She addressed Fang Qiu so intimately. They don’t look like ordinary friends, do they?”
…
Below the stage, Jiang Miaoyu was sitting in a designated seat in the first row of the audience area.
She had been watching all the proceedings with a broad smile on her face but as soon as Jiang Mengjie spoke up, her demeanor changed.
Her expression changed slightly, but she did not show any dissatisfaction and continued to look up at them, but the smile on her face was not as bright as before.
After saying that on the stage, Jiang Mengjie turned her head with a happy smile, her two big eyes on her beautiful face falling on Fang Qiu. Their gazes met for a split second before she turned to look at the livestream camera and said, “I became the champion of this season, but I want to express a special thanks to all the other contestants. They helped me improve and grow in the competition, but it doesn’t mean that this is the end.”
“This is only the beginning!”
“I hope I can help more people and treat more diseases in the future, relieve more patients from their suffering and make traditional Chinese Medicine grow stronger day by day.”
With this, Jiang Mengjie looked toward the three highly-skilled doctors behind the judging table and added, “I will learn from Little Qiu and other seniors. I hope to contribute my strength to Huaxia Chinese Medicine and become the champion in my patients’ hearts as soon as possible.”
“Finally, I want to thank all my competitors along the way. Also, I appreciate the help from my university, the Jingbei University of Chinese Medicine, and the kindness from my teachers and schoolmates! The show group, thank you for giving me such an opportunity. It is you who strengthened my resolve to develop my career!”
“Of course.”
“And my old classmate.”
Jiang Mengjie turned to Fang Qiu and said, “Thank you for your trust and help! We competed in high school, but you became far more excellent than me in college. You inspired my fighting will. Otherwise, I might not have participated in the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor and won the championship.”
Fang Qiu smiled.
Jiang Mengjie’s words set his heart at rest.
On the way to record this show, he was worried that Jiang Mengjie would get carried away because of her growing popularity.
But now, it seemed…
He was not sure, but it seemed things wouldn’t become as bad as Fang Qiu had imagined. This young lady was still composed, open-minded, and as dignified as she was in high school!
“Clap, clap, clap…”
After Jiang Mengjie finished speaking, Fang Qiu applauded, and the others enthusiastically joined in.
In everyone’s view, Jiang Mengjie’s words had another meaning.
That was…
She ultimately agreed with Fang Qiu’s previous speech.
In addition to expressing her gratitude, every word she said seemed to correspond to what Fang Qiu had said.
The others felt there was something ambiguous in her attitude toward Fang Qiu.
However, her remark sounded righteous and perfect to everyone, so they didn’t think anything more about it.
Their warm applause lasted for quite a while.
“All right.”
When the applause had somewhat subsided, the host smiled and said, “Before I officially announce the end of the second season of the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor, we still have one item on our program. Please calm down, and let’s finish it together.”
Hearing that, everyone quieted down.
The host looked at the notecard, glanced at Fang Qiu and Jiang Mengjie, and said, “Let’s celebrate the successful completion of the second season of the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor together. Our two champions, Fang Qiu and Jiang Mengjie, please lead the top ten contestants of this season to sing the theme song of the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor on the spot!”
“Let’s give them a warm welcome!”
The host announced the arrangement.
The top ten contestants of this season went on the stage while the staff gave out the microphones to them. Fang Qiu and Jiang Mengjie stood in the middle of the stage, and the others surrounded them.
Along with the accompaniment, Fang Qiu began to sing!
Everyone started singing together at the next moment.
All the people present, including Jiang Miaoyu, swayed and sang to the rhythm.
They finished the song together.
“I now declare that the second season of the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor has officially ended!”
With the host’s announcement, the livestream’s camera zoomed away quickly when a lot of golden slips began falling on the stage.
Standing on the stage, Fang Qiu led everyone to wave goodbye to the camera.
The livestream was over!
Before the host had even exited the stage, the invited audience was already making their way to the stage.
The staff there couldn’t stop so many people.
They had to ask security guards to preserve order. So, everyone was required to form a queue in order to get on the stage.
The roar of the crowd stilled to an expectant murmur.
In the end, it turned out that they all came for Fang Qiu’s autograph and wanted to take a photo with him. Of course, there were also many looking for Jiang Mengjie. Because of this unexpected incident, neither Jiang Miaoyu nor Jiang Mengjie got to speak to Fang Qiu.
…
Soon, the final audience rating of the show came out.
Director Li Huawen was very satisfied and delighted when he saw the viewing rating report. Though the average viewing rate of the last episode of this season was lower than that of the previous season, the highest viewing rate of this episode was even higher than that of the previous season. And it appeared at the moment when Fang Qiu showed up.
All the staff of the show also learned that they achieved a high viewing rate.
They couldn’t help cheering loudly.
It took a lot of effort for Fang Qiu on the stage to finish signing his autographs and taking a photo with so many enthusiastic people. Under the protection of the guards, he quickly retreated backstage.
At this time, everyone was waiting for him there.
“You deserve to be called Legendary Fang Qiu.”
Seeing Fang Qiu, Director Li Huawen patted him on the shoulder and said, “My inviting you here was the best decision I made during the whole season of the show.”
“The celebration party is all set. Hurry up and get ready. Let’s go with everyone. We can talk about other things after this feast.”
