Zhang Yanquan was thrilled to hear that Li Xu was willing to make Elder Cheng's notes public.
"Fellow Friend Li, your generosity and vision are truly admirable. On behalf of the National Acupuncture Association and our countless colleagues in the field, I thank you."
He said solemnly, "When I return, I will propose to the association that you be granted the title of 'Honorary Council Member.' I hope we can have more opportunities for exchange and collaboration in the future!"
"Dean Zhang, you're too kind."
Li Xu didn't really care for such honors.
Zhang Yanquan then tactfully suggested, "...Would it be possible to borrow the original manuscript of Elder Cheng's notes? It's an incredibly valuable document, Fellow Friend Li. Rest assured, the original will still belong to you, but we'd like to display it in the Acupuncture Association's exhibition hall for a period of time."
"That's fine."
Li Xu agreed.
