Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1820 The Fate of Heaven and Earth
Bi Shaoxiong deliberately lagged behind, not for any other reason than to get along well with Doctor Bian and chat a bit more.

"Thanks to your miraculous healing skills, otherwise, my uncle... you don't know, he spent all his time searching online, and most people with similar conditions were bedridden, some had already passed away years ago. Sigh! You are a benefactor to our family!"

"Hey! This is nothing! The follow-up treatment is still going to be troublesome! Luckily your family isn't short of money, haha... Putting aside everything else, we'll need to make several more sets of plaster casts. Speaking of which, it's going to be quite a burden for Director Bi! Luckily, his willpower is as strong as a rock, and he managed to get through the adaptation period, which means he's made it through." Bian Mu replied with a smile.

"If there's any hope, that's great! Then... what's the probability of recurrence in the future?" Bi Shaoxiong asked with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Bian Mu's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Now, Bian Mu has practically stepped into the business world, and he's heard quite a bit about what's going on there. Since Chairman Bi retired to recuperate, the daily affairs of the Bi Group have been largely handled by Bi Shaoxiong. Bi Shaoxiong is exceptionally talented, and everyone in the company is quite satisfied. So... in his heart, is he hoping his uncle will return to the Bi Group soon? Or does he have some other ulterior motive...?

"That's hard to say... It's only because your family is wealthy that I dare to take such a risk. I probably won't be able to come into contact with many similar patients before or in the future, so... the medical clinical sample size is not enough. Some things can only be done one step at a time. However... judging from Chairman Bi's current condition, it should be relatively optimistic. The probability of relapse should not be very high." After giving a few ambiguous replies, Bian Mu did not forget to secretly observe Bi Shaoxiong for a long time out of the corner of his eye.

Fortunately, Bi Shaoxiong's expression didn't change much.

"Take your time! Let's go find somewhere to grab a bite!"

"No, I've been seeing a few special patients lately, and I need to figure them out quickly. Maybe next time! By the way, are you quite familiar with Pan Shaojie?" Bian Mu casually mentioned Pan Shaojie, pretending to be nonchalant.

"Him?! My buddy! What's up?"

"Rumors among my colleagues in the industry say that a precious pharmaceutical cauldron has fallen into his hands without his knowledge. That thing is quite important to us in the pharmaceutical industry. If you have any connections, could you please pass on a message for me? I want to see the actual object. I don't mean anything by it, it's just my industry curiosity."

"Oh! He does seem to enjoy collecting antiques. It looks like he collects that thing as an antique. Okay! I'll ask him later. What if he plans to resell it for a profit? Should you keep it for yourself?"

"That works too! You know we're all poor, so if the price is too high, forget it."

"No problem! I'll contact you as soon as I get the news. By the way, what's that thing made of? What's its size?"

"Oh dear! I'm not entirely sure either, but it's probably either a strong magnetic object or a very weak magnetic object. Just be prepared to react as the situation unfolds. If it's too difficult, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"No, it's not a real antique, so it shouldn't be a big problem. I'll head back now!"

Be careful on the road!

"No problem!" With that, Bi Shaoxiong walked towards his car.

……

After a busy day, Bian Mu first called Qian Xiaotong to borrow a telescope.

Over the phone, Qian Xiaotong said that his girlfriend's brother had recently acquired a high-end astronomical telescope, but it was installed in his own villa, electronically controlled, and quite large. If Bian Mu wanted to borrow it, he would have to ask his girlfriend for the villa's key.

"No need! The one you have is enough. How much did your brother-in-law's set cost?" Out of curiosity, Bian Mu asked casually.

"It seems to be over a million! I'll go with you to take a look another day! I think he's the same kind of person as you!"

"Never mind then, it's too expensive. It's probably very professional, and I don't need it. I'll just come to your house to pick it up."

"I'm in Beiqi right now. Wait here, I'll have my driver bring it to you."

"Good work!"

"Don't mention it! Is there anything else?"

"That's all. When are you planning to hold the banquet?"

"Around National Day, I guess! My future father-in-law is currently busy overseas developing new business, so it won't be until the latter half of the year." "Oh, I see! I'll hang up now!"

"I'll contact you again if anything comes up!" With that, Qian Xiaotong hung up the phone.

……

Summer nights are much cooler and more pleasant on the rooftop. Bian Mu went upstairs to call the high school student, and the two chatted and laughed as they set up the astronomical telescope on the rooftop.

"Uncle! How much is this set?"

"I borrowed it from a friend, probably less than 20 yuan!"

"So expensive?! Then the viewing of the moon and Venus must be incredibly clear, right?"

"It should be alright. The moon is fine, but Venus is hard to say. Saturn's rings are the most beautiful, though they're not easy to find. I'm not very good at adjusting the parameters either, so I guess we're in trouble."

"Give it a try! I'll buy one when I have the money!"

"Great! What major do you like?"

"Mathematics! Pure theoretical mathematics!"

"That's ambitious! Mathematics and physics have always been intertwined. True mathematicians are usually astronomers. You'll definitely need a good telescope in the future, haha... Keep it up!" As he spoke, Bian Mu turned on the power and adjusted the auxiliary light source repeatedly for a long time.

“The moon is easy to adjust, come on! Look! Adjusting here can change the angle, but the movements have to be small, otherwise it will quickly go out of scope.” As he spoke, Bian Mu handed the observation position to the high school student.

……

Observing celestial phenomena at night is also an essential skill for a good traditional Chinese medicine doctor. Some things in traditional medicine have been lost for a long time, and many schools of thought no longer mention this aspect. Bian Mu has now become one of the top experts, and his knowledge of astronomy and calendar has naturally become increasingly profound. He has never fallen behind in this area.

Chatting and laughing, Bian Mu recorded the relevant data using the auxiliary light source. Before she knew it, it was already quite late.

Afterwards, the two disassembled the telescope and packed it into a box. Bian Mu first took the boy home, then returned to his residence and spent most of the day working out the calculations using the stack of counting rods on the table…

In the end, Bian Mu came to a conclusion: with the celestial phenomena changing, the magnetic field gradually shifting, and the destiny rising, many traditional Chinese medicine treatments really need to be adjusted. At the very least, the recipes for cooling summer soups that have been distributed for free at the clinic recently need to be greatly revised.

……

The next morning, Bian Mu was sitting at the dining table eating breakfast when Old Pei, the herb farmer, called.

"Have you heard anything from Lao Huang yet? When are you going to make your trip to the county?"

"The old man brought up this matter, which is somewhat of a bargaining tactic..." As he spoke, Bian Mu briefly explained the matter of the Yu family's medicine cauldron.

"Hahaha... He's been stingy his whole life! Sigh! That's just how he is, he'll never change! You don't know, that thing is a deep-seated problem he's had for years, do you think you can get it?"

"Hahaha... You use the same language, old man. We're not stealing, so why are you talking about whether we succeeded or failed? Hehe..." As he spoke, Bian Mu briefly recounted his conversation with Bi Shaoxiong.

"This is no small matter; it involves quite a few people. You'd better be careful. If you need my help, just let me know!"

"I understand. I'll definitely need your advice when I need it!"

After chatting for a while, Bian Mu finally hung up the phone.
