Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1824 Breaking the Problem and Entering the Library
Dr. Mei was a man of some experience. The handsome young owner sitting opposite her was much younger than she had expected, and his demeanor was indeed extraordinary. The nurse surnamed Ye was constantly targeting her, clearly not intending to accept her. The man at the end seemed quite amiable, occasionally saying a few words in her defense. However, Dr. Mei had already realized that the man who spoke up for her was not in charge, and his words were pointless.

Dr. Mei thought that today's trip was a waste, but luckily the young restaurant owner was generous and ordered a table full of good dishes, so the trip was not in vain.

The "Xin G20" Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic is currently thriving, and the minimum wage should be at least 5000. Even if there's no hope of getting in, I'll just lower my monthly salary to 3500. Maybe these few people will take pity on me and let me intern there for half a year?

however……

These three people in front of me don't seem to be buying it. Their words suggest they're planning to just treat me to a good meal and drinks.

Dr. Mei was naturally extremely disappointed.

Fortunately, the most popular traditional Chinese medicine clinic in the city is not a place that just anyone can easily enter. After understanding this, Dr. Mei's mood gradually returned to normal.

Unexpectedly, the young curator suddenly posed a test to examine him. Upon hearing this, Dr. Mei suddenly felt that he might still have a little hope.

"When relatives and friends in my family feel unwell, as long as it's not a serious illness, I occasionally prescribe medicine for them. I also use the medicine cauldron myself!" It was obvious that Dr. Mei's speaking speed had increased significantly.

“Oh! Well… there’s a century-old pharmacy in this city, the Yu Family Pharmacy. I’ve heard they have a century-old alchemy cauldron. I wonder if Doctor Mei has ever heard of it?” Bian Mu asked with a smile.

"Are you referring to the 'Kuiwu Fangding'?" Doctor Mei replied with a smile.

"Please excuse my ignorance. I only know that the Yu family's medicine cauldron is very mysterious, but I really have no idea what it's called. I would like to hear more about it!"

"You're too modest, Master! I've only heard the older generation mention it a few times; I've never actually seen the actual item," Doctor Mei replied with a smile.

"Really? Then... there are rumors that the Yu family's medicine cauldron contains many secrets of medicine making, and even today, not even the direct descendants of the Yu family can figure it out. What do you think about this?" Bian Mu asked with a smile.

"Well... I can't say for sure, but... I've heard that the younger generation of the Yu family are well-off and neglect their professional studies. I wonder if... in terms of traditional medicine, their proficiency in classical Chinese medical texts is generally quite average. Furthermore, they lack the textual foundation to further interpret ancient classics; and they probably can't accept much of the most cutting-edge new medical theories. In fact, they've simply given up and are living off their past knowledge. They may know very little or nothing about the latest medical advancements, so... they certainly lack the ability to interpret ancient classics with new medical knowledge. They don't trust outsiders, and they've been stuck in their ways for years... If there are any family secrets, they can only sigh in vain!" Well! When talking about his expertise, Dr. Mei suddenly became much more eloquent.

Bian Mu's eyes lit up.

Zhang Jinsi was overjoyed. He put down his chopsticks, got up, and went outside to ask the waitress to bring him another large plate of fine watermelon. He seemed very happy.

Zhang Jinsi knew better than anyone that Bian Mu valued talent, and it seemed that Dr. Mei might actually have a chance today.

"Then... let me ask you another question. From a pharmacist's perspective, are there any novel considerations regarding the use of rhubarb in the current medication environment?" Bian Mu continued his assessment. At this point, Nurse Ye realized that this pharmacist surnamed Mei was probably not as simple as she seemed.

Nowadays, Nurse Ye doesn't dare to be the only one in the clinic. As long as she speaks up about things big or small in the clinic, Bian Mu generally won't refuse her. Over time, she has come to really enjoy that sense of authority.

As the clinic's reputation grew, her actual income, both in cash and in kind, increased considerably day by day. Her former colleagues were extremely envious in the group chat, and Nurse Ye herself felt a great sense of accomplishment.

She couldn't control the three doctors, including Bian Mu and the others, but she had always wanted to manage those below Luo Zhanqi, including Zhang Jinsi. With the arrival of the new pharmacist, she was single-mindedly thinking about how to recruit a suitable new person who would meet her standards and be able to be controlled by her.

Clearly, Dr. Mei is not that type.

Women are often the most accurate judges of other women.

Nurse Ye couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Fortunately, Nurse Ye has a decent perspective, at least not too narrow. Seeing that Dr. Mei actually has some knowledge, and that she will become her colleague in the future, at least she won't hold Zhang Jinsi back. After working together, she should be able to generate more revenue for the clinic, so... that wouldn't be a bad thing.

"Well... I'll just say a few words. If I say anything inappropriate, please forgive me! Nowadays, especially in high-income metropolises like Lijiang, people are generally overnourished. I mean overnourished in the sense of traditional Chinese medicine, which has no direct relationship with average monthly income. For example, construction workers. I used to work in a hospital and dealt with them a lot. Don't be fooled by their casual attire. In fact, they pay attention to their diet, and they are generally overnourished. So... even in this context, when using rhubarb as a medicine, it's better to support rather than tonify, to support the nutritive qi and the balance of nutrition. The degree to which to purge is quite different from the old medicine practice. Master, that's all I know. Please correct me if I've said anything wrong!" Doctor Mei said politely with a smile.

"Hehe... Well said! Putting everything else aside, in terms of basic concepts, you, me and Dr. Zhang are quite compatible. If we become colleagues in the future, at least we won't hold each other back. So... Sister Ye! How about... we ask Dr. Mei to work here for a three-month trial period?" As she spoke, Bian Mu glanced at the seat where Nurse Ye was sitting.

“Alright! Welcome Dr. Mei to the clinic! Three months is a bit short, how about a year?” Nurse Ye was quick-witted and also wanted to save face for the clinic owner, Bian.

"How about a one-year trial period? But we still need to go back and discuss the monthly salary. If all goes well, I'll let you know first thing tomorrow morning. If you can accept it, you can go to Dr. Zhang to complete the onboarding procedures in a couple of days," Bian Mu said readily.

Upon hearing this, Dr. Mei was naturally overjoyed.

"Thank you, thank you! Don't laugh at us, but the prices here are really not something our family of three can afford for long. If we really don't get the job today, we plan to go back to our hometown in a while. Thank you, thank you!" As she spoke, Dr. Mei stood up and sincerely bowed several times to her three colleagues.

Seeing this, Nurse Ye felt a pang of sympathy. As a woman herself, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Just then, the waiter brought in a large fruit platter. Everyone picked out their favorite fruits, took a few bites, and chatted and laughed, instantly changing the atmosphere...
