Chapter 1603: Chapter 1603 The Shalessness of the Japanese
As the Boeing 787 of Huaxia International Airlines, carrying the delegation, soared into the blue sky, Luo Ziling finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Standing next to his mother, Luo Ziling felt quite pressured.
Today, Ling Ruonan put aside her work and only turned back after sending him to the boarding gate.
Luo Ziling knew that Ling Ruonan didn’t like to use her privilege, but today she did, to accompany him all the way to the waiting room.
The deep motherly love made him feel warm, but it also gave him pressure.
It wasn’t until the plane took off that he recovered from the pressure.
On the plane, his seat was next to Lin Lan’s; he sat by the window, Lin Lan on his left, and surprisingly, further to the side was Gu Changwei.
When Luo Ziling was standing with Ling Ruonan, he didn’t see Gu Changwei, but he knew that Gu Changwei and his grandfather Gu Jian’an were also visiting with the delegation. However, he didn’t expect Gu Changwei’s seat to be next to them.
Gu Changwei didn’t know that Lin Lan was Luo Ziling’s “girlfriend.” He knew Luo Ziling had unusual relationships with Ouyang Feifei and Yang Qingyin, but he didn’t know Luo Ziling had other won entangled and certainly didn’t know about Lin Lan, this “lover” with the military bloom.
Lin Lan, with her graceful attractiveness, exuded an indescribable aura that instantly captivated Gu Changwei.
Throughout the flight, Gu Changwei was assiduously attending to Lin Lan.
Although Luo Ziling sat next to her, he didn’t talk much with Lin Lan, leading Gu Changwei to think that Lin Lan didn’t like people like Luo Ziling and was thus reluctant to speak. His attention to Lin Lan, of course, carried the intention of challenging Luo Ziling.
But Lin Lan ignored it all.
Not until he saw Lin Lan getting als for Luo Ziling and serving him affectionately did Gu Changwei realize he had been playing the role of a fool. This pretty girl was also Luo Ziling’s lover, and he was mistakenly trying to woo her.
When Lin Lan, acting very intimately, was serving Luo Ziling and treating him like air, he even had the impulse to jump off the plane.
Therefore, during the latter half of the flight, he could only close his eyes and pretend to sleep, avoiding looking at Lin Lan and Luo Ziling beside him.
Luckily, Lin Lan and Luo Ziling didn’t show too much intimacy, and they didn’t converse much either, which slightly eased his pressure.
Around one o’clock in the afternoon, the plane landed at Tokyo Haneda Airport.
During this ti, the weather in Tokyo was quite similar to Yanjing—early spring with fluctuating warmth and chill.
However, the sky in Tokyo was much bluer than that of Yanjing, almost like the blue sky in the Tianshan area. Although Luo Ziling was very averse to Japanese people, after experiencing the poor air quality in Yanjing, he couldn’t help but admire the good air quality in Japan.
After disembarking, Luo Ziling walked alongside Lin Lan, though the two did not display much intimacy.
Luo Ziling fully demonstrated his gentlemanly deanor by grabbing Lin Lan’s luggage.
Lin Lan, being attractive, was the focus of many, and Luo Ziling, being handso, was also a target of attention. However, once they stood together, the attention waned—many people lost the feeling of anticipation in their hearts and didn’t want to follow them with their eyes.
The officials from the Japanese Health Departnt, specifically from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, were there to welco them at the airport.
Also present was the staff from the Huaxia Consulate in Tokyo.
The mbers of the Huaxia Consulate in Tokyo ca straight to the passengers’ exit to welco them.
Leading them was a man in his forties with a stern face but youthful appearance.
Upon seeing the delegation mbers erging from the corridor, he imdiately approached them.
After shaking hands with Hu Wenjun, Wang Rongshan, and others, he greeted the other mbers.
Hu Wenjun and Wang Rongshan, on behalf of the delegation mbers, expressed their gratitude to them.
“Commander Hu, Commander Wang, a warm welco to Yanjing,” the man said while shaking hands, reminding them, “The Japanese Health Ministry officials are waiting outside, along with many dia reporters. We hope you bring honor to the nation!”
The folks from the embassy knew that the Huaxia Traditional dicine Delegation was visiting at the invitation of the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and South Korea’s Ministry of Health and Welfare. Although the substantive content of the visit was said to be exchange, it was actually a contest and a battle.
Both Japan and South Korea, in terms of culture and various other aspects, are heavily tagged with Han cultural elents, but due to the impoverishnt and weakness of Huaxia in modern history, coupled with the trend of Japano-mania and Korean-mania in recent years, both the Japanese and Koreans look down on Huaxia people.
They not only despise Huaxia culturally but also regard themselves as the orthodox keepers of Huaxia civilization.
In the field of dicine, they treat traditional dicine, which originated from Huaxia, as the essence of their nations, having inherited it for thousands of years. While usurping the essence of Huaxia’s traditional culture, they continually belittle Huaxia civilization, even challenging it.
This visit, to put it bluntly, was a contest between the elites of Huaxia traditional dicine and the elite of traditional dicine from these two countries.
For the Huaxia delegation, if they competed with local traditional dicine experts during this visit, they could not afford to lose.
If they lost, it would be a loss of national face.
“Rest assured, we have brought all the elites from the traditional dicine field this ti, and we definitely won’t lose,” Hu Wenjun confidently said while shaking hands with the embassy official.
Upon exiting the gate, delegation mbers saw many people who ca to welco them. Huaxia embassy staff had even unfurled a banner, “Warmly welco the Huaxia dical Delegation to Japan.”
Besides the embassy staff, there were also so students studying in Tokyo and so personnel from pharmaceutical companies stationed in Tokyo, there to bolster the montum. Additionally, there were officials from Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, and representatives from the Japanese dical Association.
Of course, dia reporters were certainly present.
As soon as they reached the exit, they were greeted by a flurry of flashbulbs.
The two Japanese officials standing there saw the Huaxia delegation mbers erge and imdiately approached them.
The leader, while shaking hands with Hu Wenjun, introduced himself in Japanese.
Standing beside Luo Ziling, Lin Lan translated for him: “Koizumi Yuzaburou, a deputy director from the Japanese Health Ministry’s dical Policy Bureau. The other one is a representative from the Japanese dical Association; I didn’t catch the na, will listen again later.”
After Koizumi Yuzaburou, the official from the Ministry of Health, shook hands and introduced himself to Hu Wenjun, he smiled and said a few more words in Japanese.
Those who understood Japanese imdiately changed their expressions after hearing his remarks. Our translator hesitated for a mont but didn’t imdiately translate these words into Huaxia language.
“What did he say?” Luo Ziling quickly asked Lin Lan.
Lin Lan responded expressionlessly: “He said he heard many Huaxia people repeatedly calling for the abolition of Chinese dicine, including many officials expressing the sa view. He asked whether our visit this ti was to seek help from the Japanese traditional dicine community.”
“Quite shaless,” Luo Ziling’s face changed slightly, but he didn’t express anything further and instead quietly watched how the delegation leaders would respond to this question.
