The preparatory meeting of the visiting delegation to South Africa was held at the hotel where Su Tao checked. Secretary-General Xue, as one of the main leaders of the delegation, assigned relevant work at the preparatory meeting.

Three days later, after all members are in place, a formal meeting will be held.

The preparatory meeting mainly involves the leaders of each group, including the secretary group, the trade group, the medical group, the translation group, the security group, etc. Members who can participate in this level are all elite figures in various fields of China and are also an opportunity for everyone to expand their connections.

Su Tao is now a Chinese celebrity, and everyone is familiar with him. Su Tao maintains a humble attitude, is very polite to everyone, and everyone has a high opinion of him.

What's more, before and after the meeting, Secretary-General Xue revealed a feeling of being particularly close when talking to Su Tao. Everyone is a discerning person and knows that Su Tao is a celebrity around Vice Premier Xiao.

The number of people visiting abroad this time was more than 60, including eight medical team members. Except for Su Tao, the oldest one was named Ji Guofan, who was the deputy leader of the medical care team. Three of the other six were Western medical doctors and three were nurses, from Yanjing, Yunhai, Nanyue and other hospitals in the country.

After all the members of the medical team were in place, Su Tao held a small internal meeting with the team members.

Before the meeting was held, everyone began to talk, especially the deputy team leader Ji Guofan and Chen Cong whispered.

The two had met several times in private, and Chen Cong admired Ji Guofan very much and believed that he was the object he could cling to.

"Academician Ji, the last time you gave me a lot of speech at the Yunhai Medical Cooperation Forum, I gained a lot. The circulation of talents in the hospital system is still too rigid. If talents can do their best, this can solve the problem of unfair medical resources across the country." Chen Cong said with a smile, "I have read your related papers. In addition to having deep academic attainments, you also often think about the disadvantages of the medical system, and your perspective is much higher than that of ordinary medical workers."

He waved his hand gently, Ji Guofan said with a smile: "As a doctor, medical country. We medical workers must have a national strategic vision, start from the system, and study how to improve the living standards of the people. You are so interested, after this visit to South Africa, you can join the company I founded. Excellent medical workers like you are urgently needed."

"Really?" Chen Cong knew that Ji Guofan had attracted a group of high-end talents from overseas returnees, and there were many international experts among them. He felt that this was an opportunity to expand his connections.

Ji Guofan laughed in silence, "You can be selected into the medical team, which proves that you have enough strength and shoulder more responsibilities."

Chen Congchao was sitting in the middle and flirted with information. Su Tao looked at him and sneered, "If you want me to say that you should be the leader of the medical team this time. I really don't understand the logistics staff. How could a young man in his twenties lead us? It's too irresponsible."

He waved his hand gently, Ji Guofan raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't say that, don't underestimate our team leader. He is Vice Premier Xiao's health care expert. Both masters are respected masters in the traditional Chinese medicine industry."

"Traditional Chinese Medicine?" Chen Cong's mouth curled up slightly and he mocked, "I don't know much about traditional Chinese medicine, but I know that traditional Chinese medicine often uses metaphysics as an excuse to explain plausible things. To put it more directly, many traditional Chinese medicine practitioners are liars."

"I didn't expect you to have some research on traditional Chinese medicine." Ji Guofan took a serious look at Chen Cong, knowing that traditional Chinese medicine is based on metaphysics, which shows that Chen Cong is not speaking vernacularly.

Chen Cong shook his head and smiled bitterly, "To be honest, when I was a child, I once came into contact with a Chinese medicine teacher. He asked me to recite soup songs every day, but it turned out that he was completely unrealistic to treat the disease."

Ji Guofan is still very tolerant of traditional Chinese medicine because he has met some masters of traditional Chinese medicine with superb medical skills and said with a smile: "From the current global medical landscape, traditional Chinese medicine is still at a disadvantage. Although the country has been working hard to improve the status of traditional Chinese medicine in recent years, the effect is very bad."

Chen Cong smiled, "I think it is ridiculous that the country supports the development of traditional Chinese medicine, and it will only be futile in the end."

Ji Guofan gently patted Chen Cong's shoulder and smiled and said, "Xiao Chen, you have extraordinary knowledge!"

Chen Cong lowered his voice and said, "Saying these in front of you is just showing off his skills."

Ji Guofan knew that the reason why Chen Cong belittled traditional Chinese medicine was mainly because Su Tao was the leader of the medical team. Chen Cong was a young man who was rebellious at heart and was suppressed by a man a few years younger than him, so of course he felt uncomfortable inside.

Ji Guofan smiled faintly and said, "This time I visit South Africa, you can follow me then. I have many friends who work as experts in famous hospitals in South Africa. If you contact more people, it will be good for you."

"Thank you for the support of Academician Ji." Chen Cong thought to himself that his show of good results were good. There were worlds where there were people. Although they were a small team of eight people, they obviously had intrigues. Chen Cong took the initiative to stand on Ji Guofan's side, thinking it was a wise move.

First, he studied Western medicine. Ji Guofan has his own connections in this field and can take it for himself. Second, Su Tao is too young, how can he control so many team members who are older than him?

Although Ji Guofan didn't say it on the surface, he probably had his own thoughts in his heart.

"This time I will definitely follow your leader. As for Team Leader Su, just think he is like air." Chen Cong joked.

Ji Guofan smiled without commenting, but his attitude was obvious and accepted Chen Cong's side.

Ji Guofan and Chen Cong were whispering, which naturally attracted Su Tao's attention. It was the first time they got together, and they had a small circle. It seemed that although there were very few people, there were many troubles.

"The meeting is now started, please calm down." Su Tao cleared his throat.

Chen Cong was whispering to Ji Guofan, feeling that Su Tao was deliberately targeting him, and muttered: "I really take myself seriously by holding a chicken feather as an arrow."

Su Tao's ears are better than normal people. This is undoubtedly what he said. He continued to preside over the meeting quietly: "This time our medical team is responsible for the health care services of the visiting delegation members. During these ten days, we are a whole, prospering and losing. Because the number of people is limited, every doctor and nurse has to be responsible for four to five members of the visiting delegation. Everyone is an elite selected from major hospitals. I know everyone's medical skills very well and trust them very much. However, everyone cannot fight alone. When encountering special problems, remember to work together and help each other. I believe that this task will be completed successfully."

Nodding to Su Tao, Ji Guofan smiled and said to others: "Team Leader Su is right. This visit abroad is a huge test for the medical team. South Africa has a relatively low medical level compared to other countries, so after we go abroad, we have to rely on ourselves. Fortunately, our team leader, Su Tao, is an experienced Chinese medicine doctor. His medical skills have always been recognized by the National Medical Expert Group of the Central Health Commission. I believe that under his leadership, we will definitely be able to overcome all difficulties and complete this task successfully."

"Since Team Leader Su's medical skills are so good, it's good that the rest of us follow your instructions, so it's safe to save effort." Chen Cong smiled and said sarcastically.

The conference room was not big, and there were only so many people, so Chen Cong's words came to everyone's ears without missing a trace.

Su Tao's face darkened. Chen Cong was really a thorn.

Of course, he was even more dissatisfied with Ji Guofan.

Ji Guofan was praising himself on the surface, but in fact he also had the smell of fanning the flames.

Chen Cong is 30 years old this year and is a famous young expert in Renhe Hospital in Yanjing. Seeing that Su Tao is so younger than him, he felt quite uncomfortable. When Ji Guofan was gently teased, his mentality exploded instantly.

The three nurses began to whisper and were speechless at Chen Cong's words. Although Su Tao was young, he was the team leader after all. Chen Cong's words were obviously teasing Su Tao, and the provocation was too strong.

"Doctor Chen, why do you speak like this? You are obviously dissatisfied with Team Leader Su."

"It's no wonder that being led by a person who is younger than me will make normal people feel a little unbalanced."

"So what if I'm young, I'm very capable."

"You don't admit it yet if you say you are a brainless fan of Team Leader Su."

...

Seeing that everyone in the venue was whispering, Su Tao lost control for a while, he frowned slightly and said lightly: "Doctor Chen, you seem to be very dissatisfied with me."

Chen Cong shrugged and said, "I dare not, I respect you very much, there is no irony."

Ji Guofan calmly lowered his head and touched the teacup with his hand. As he planned, Chen Cong, a young man with a young head, may have good medical skills, but he is still a little too tender in dealing with people. Su Tao may have to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys and intimidate the members of the group. He thought about taking this opportunity to see Su Tao's personality and courage. After all, during the next period of time, the two of them will cooperate with each other.

Su Tao took out his cell phone, put it on the table, tapped the table gently with his fingers, and said calmly: "Your mentality is problematic, all manifested in your words and deeds. I believe everyone is a discerning person and can see this."

Chen Cong's lips sneered, and he said disdainfully: "Team Leader Su, what's wrong with my mentality? Just say a joke. If you exaggerate yourself, you're too strong and domineering, right?"

"Strong? Domineering?" Su Tao laughed in silence, "I will really force people to be notorious. I suggest you go to the psychiatric department for testing first, so you don't have to follow us to South Africa."

Su Tao is very eloquent and does not use dirty words to curse people. Indirectly, Chen Cong is mentally ill!

"You're just going to psychiatric department!" Chen Cong couldn't help it and sweared directly.

His face turned red and his eyes were wide open, as if he was about to eat Su Tao.
