Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1808: A Rare Book

Dong Yuhu had very limited job options, so she naturally prepared for the exam very carefully. Worried that she would overwork herself again, Bian Mu specially prepared some Yangshen Yiluo Pills for her and asked her to take one pill every day before going to bed.

The results of the competition were announced very quickly. Dong Yuhu was ranked 11th, which was a low-key position and should not have alarmed anyone on the surface.

Cen Songxue was quiet and had not come to cause trouble for Bian Mu again. Doctor Chi had officially registered as a doctor for a week, and everything had gone uneventfully, with no positive or negative reviews. On the surface, the Cen family's medical school had a smooth transition.

At noon that day, just after get off work, Bian Mu sat in a corner of the medicine cabinet and chatted with Zhang Jinsi for a few words.

"This is the fifth one, right? It's not enough for a person to look honest. The technical skills have to be acceptable. Alas! Students in the past two years have become more pampered. They generally lack experience in collecting herbs in the wild. Some of them don't even know anything about pharmacology. This won't do! You can only persevere for a few more days. Sister Ye said that a few more websites have been added for online recruitment. We hope to recruit two capable people as soon as possible." Bian Mu said with a smile.

"That's right, that's right! The word 'Guo' in the name is no joke. This area is different from 'Four Seasons Harbor'. Recently, our pharmacy has been making more and more money. After all, most of the residents nearby are rich."

"Really? That's pretty good, but you've worked so hard, I'll show that to you when I give you the year-end bonus."

"No, no! My salary is high enough, I'd better just follow the rest of us! Following you, not only will my chronic illness be completely cured, but I'll be happy every day. Other colleagues can't compare to me. I'm the only one in my family who goes to college, and we don't have big expenses on a daily basis. We pay the highest level for medical insurance and pension, so we should be content! I really don't need it! But...during the interview, wasn't the question you asked a bit too difficult?! Senior pharmacists who have reached a certain level of skill also charge high prices, and it's a considerable expense over a year!" Zhang Jinsi was quite considerate of Bian Mu.

"There's no other way! I'm following the path of a medical practitioner and have never thought about making a fortune in the clinic. In the future, if there's a shortage of manpower in the Chinese patent medicine department, I'll have to draw people from the clinic. This can be considered as advance talent reserve!" Bian Mu replied with a smile.

"Oh! I see! You have a far-sighted vision!"

The two were chatting when the cell phone rang. It was Qian Xiaotong calling.

Bian Mu smiled and waved at Zhang Jinsi, then stood up and went back to his own clinic while talking on the phone.

"Xia Shengqiang scolded you so badly. Your flight this morning just left!"

"Oh! So he has been staying in Lijin all this time! Did you lend him money?"

"No! I treated him to a few good meals. After all, we are classmates. We can discuss anything in the past two years, except borrowing money! Hahaha... But... you really don't have to block him! I heard that the woman he found has some background. You will have to seek development in the Chinese medicine store in the future! It will be troublesome if you run into them!"

"Me? How is that possible! I can just hang out here locally. Going out of the province?! I've never even thought about it." On the other end of the phone, Bian Mu responded with a few words of disapproval.

"That's hard to say! How big is the entire Chinese patent medicine market? Things may change, but you'd better be more careful in the future and leave some room for maneuver. He holds a grudge."

"It was my fault that day. I blocked him in a fit of anger. Afterwards, I almost got into trouble..." As he spoke, Bian Mu told Qian Xiaotong a joke about how he subdued a big vicious dog with his internal energy.

"Don't do it again! Those merchants around your clinic are not good people. They are treacherous. If they can't do it openly, they will trip you up secretly...right! Less trouble is worse than more trouble. Why are you, a famous doctor, arguing with a dog? By the way, next Wednesday night, 'Deyue Tower', it's an engagement party! You must go!" "So soon?! Is it the same person?"

"Go to hell! You're the one who changes people all the time! Remember, next Wednesday night! No outsiders, let's meet!"

"Congratulations, congratulations! I will definitely be there!" Having said that, Bian Mu was thinking about what kind of gift he should give to his good friend.

Just as he put away his phone, Bian Mu saw a man walking in slowly from the door. He looked quite formal in a suit and tie, with a pair of sunglasses of exquisite texture on his nose. He was also holding a small travel bag in his hand, made of real leather. He looked at it carefully, wow! It was a professional bag, not an ordinary household bag.

"Who are you?" Unable to recognize it for a moment, Bian Mu said politely.

"You are so forgetful! A few days ago, my daughter's arm was injured in the subway car and you treated it for her."

"Oh! You are dressed so formally and wearing sunglasses... Excuse me, excuse me! Please sit down!" As he spoke, Bian Mushang made a cup of tea for the patient's family member. It was warm and just right.

The man then took off his sunglasses and put them in his pocket, and gently placed the leather bag in an inconspicuous place under the examination table.

"There's no other way! I have to be more careful, so as not to be caught by my colleagues and have to explain for a long time. My name is Cui, and I make a living in an auction house. My daughter has recovered well recently, all thanks to Doctor Bian. I am very grateful!" As he spoke, the man bowed to Bian Mu.

"It's my job. You're being polite! I'm glad the child is okay."

"I know you are busy, so I won't bother you any more. There is an old man named Situ Yu... Doctor Bian must have heard of him, right?"

"Oh... Mr. Cui, what are you doing..." Bian Mu stopped talking halfway through his words. He had already guessed the purpose of Mr. Cui's visit.

"The descendants of the Situ family asked for too high a price, so they have been keeping the money in our company. It's a coincidence that I have been in charge of this business. I thought that Doctor Bian must be very talented and must have been studying some traditional rare books. The things in the bag are some of my selected ones. It would be a waste to keep them with me, so I might as well lend them to Doctor Bian to flip through to relieve his boredom. Two-thirds of them are from the Situ family, and the rest are selected by me from another treasure house. I hope they can be of some use to Doctor Bian. Don't worry, I have already completed the relevant procedures. I will definitely not let you get involved in anything illegal or against regulations, so please rest assured!" After that, Mr. Cui took out a large envelope from his arms and gently placed it on the table.

"It contains the relevant documents. Please keep them first to avoid any mistakes in the process. I originally had good intentions, but it would be bad if I caused you any more trouble."

"Is this...appropriate?"

"What's wrong with this? To be honest, any famous Chinese medicine doctor in the city would come to us from time to time and ask for favors to look through it. Some even proposed to re-photograph it and keep it on file. Of course, most of them were rejected by our boss. The children of the Situ family were too greedy and asked for a very high price. It was impossible for them to go to the meeting to officially shoot it. They didn't know the value of the goods, and they were afraid of losing it if they kept it at home. As a result, it became a dead file when it was stored with us. I thought about it and decided to let Doctor Bian review it."

Hearing this, Bian Mu was both surprised and happy.
