Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1905 Sometimes it's really not worth risking your life.
In fact, the Cen Family Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic has already begun to decline. The head of the clinic, Chi, is not a local. He can manage to keep things afloat for a while, but if it goes on for too long, the Cen family's business will probably fall apart sooner or later. I was chatting with Guan Yuelin a few days ago, and according to him, the disciples of the Cen Family Medical School have already been secretly looking for other ways out. Four or five of the most skilled disciples have already left.

According to Guan Yuelin's suggestion, he could act as a go-between, and Bian Mu could talk to some of the Cen family's most promising students who were skilled in medicine, and try to recruit them into the "Xin G20" Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic. The "Xin G20" Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic is thriving and should have opened a branch long ago.

Old Guan said that, as far as he knew, the medical skills of Cen Songxue's top disciples were quite good, at least much better than Dr. Ning's, and in some aspects even comparable to Liang Xiangyin.

Bian Mu didn't respond to that question; she just smiled and let it go.

Bian Mu knew perfectly well that Guan Yuelin was seeing the booming development of the "Xin G20" Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic and wanted to get a share of the profits.

Without a doubt, the storefronts facing the street were provided by Guan Yuelin. As for whether he bought them or rented them, Bian Mu didn't need to ask, saving money and trouble! Nine times out of ten, those storefronts were Cen family property, or rented by the Cen family for many years.

However, upon closer examination, there are still many troublesome things hidden here. For example, Guan Yuelin said that those outstanding disciples of the Cen family's medical school were introduced to him, but who knows what they were actually plotting behind the scenes?

In this way, on the surface, Bian Mu began to open branches in Lijin City, and the clinic was thriving, seemingly having reached a new level of success. But is that really the case?
Bian Mu had a lot of contact with the male and female disciples of the Cen family's medical sect. In his impression, those few were tainted with a lot of worldly airs. Although he didn't know their specific values, in general, they didn't seem to be on the same wavelength as him. Cooperating with them? To be honest, Bian Mu really had no interest in it.

Guan Yuelin's scheme was quite shrewd. He wanted to get a piece of the profits from both the Bian family's medical school and the Cen family's medical school. If Bian Mu softened his stance a little, the branch would be officially a branch of the Bian family's national medical school, but internally it would be a three-way division: Bian Mu would own 40%, Guan Yuelin 30%, and the Cen family's medical school disciples 30%. In the end, it was still uncertain who would have the final say on all matters, big and small, at the branch!

Guan Yuelin is still the same; there are some things she'll never change in this lifetime, there's nothing we can do about it!

However, this objectively reminded Bian Mu that the National Medical Center will definitely have to open branches in the near future. Increasing revenue is a minor matter; the main purpose is to fully expand the influence of the "Digital Medicine" school, reach more clinical patients to the greatest extent, and thus promote the further development of new traditional Chinese medicine in the Lijiang-Jinan area.

Bian Muzhi has lofty ambitions, but he just doesn't usually boast about them.

If we are planning to open a branch library soon, who would be the branch library director?

Dr. Ning is definitely not up to the task; his medical skills are somewhat narrow and not comprehensive enough. He's fine as a general assistant, but he certainly can't handle things on his own. Liang Xiangyin is qualified, but he's always distracted and definitely won't give his all. Besides, the old man's health hasn't fully recovered, and he doesn't have the energy to keep up!

Running back and forth between Bianmu and the other side?! That's simply unrealistic.

Bian Mu secretly pondered that he needed to find a suitable candidate.

……

At noon that day, the "Xin G20" Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic...

It was time to leave work again. Perhaps due to some pent-up frustration, Bian Mu felt a bit thirsty. She poured herself a large glass of water and sat in the corner to the left of the clinic's entrance, deep in thought...

As colleagues gradually left for the day, the clinic became much quieter, and Bian Mu particularly enjoyed the tranquility…

My phone rang. It was a call from Wu Jinshuo's son, a former colleague.

"Dr. Bian! I'm sorry, I should call you Master. I didn't want to make this call, but my dad kept urging me. What do you think about treating the bone injury in his leg?"

"Oh...hey! Look at my brain, I've been so busy with all sorts of things lately, I thought you guys had already done that intramedullary nail or something fixation surgery, what?! Are you still maintaining it?" Bian Mu also tried to dodge the question by saying a few words like others.

"I've been following your medical advice and haven't dared to go anywhere. I've been waiting for your instructions with all my heart!" On the other end of the phone, Director Wu's son spoke very politely.

"Oh! Is that so? To be honest, conservative treatment is extremely difficult, time-consuming, and laborious. Besides... I'm afraid I'm not confident enough to handle it alone. Why don't you consult Dr. Lu Yisi first? He's a high-ranking doctor, a top-tier specialist, and an expert in orthopedics across departments. In any case, I'm just a private clinic, and there are some things I wouldn't dare to make decisions for you. Recently, the risks of any surgery your father underwent were magnified several times over. You're well-educated, so you'll understand immediately! We've always had almost no communication barriers, right?" Bian Mu wasn't incapable of learning the common folk tales, but he didn't use them easily. To be honest, he didn't have a good impression of Wu Jinshuo, and it wasn't worth it for him to waste his energy on him. His words naturally revealed his unwillingness to meddle in other people's business.

As for charging high prices, Bian Mu wouldn't stoop to making that kind of money!
"Well... alright! I heard that Dr. Lu and you are quite close."

"Of course, otherwise we would all have to listen to him! He's the youngest expert in the province, I really can't compare!" Bian Mu said on the phone, and it was the truth.

"Well... alright! In any case, he is my own father, and we are from the same hometown. If it's not too difficult, please do me a favor, Master Bian. My father trusts you a lot and says that only you can ensure that he can live out the rest of his life in peace."

"You flatter me, you flatter me! If I were really that great, I wouldn't have opened my own clinic long ago. Look at the lives of other national medical clinic owners, right?"

"Master Bian is too modest. How old are they? You're nothing compared to them! I won't bother you any longer. I'll contact you again once I get back to you from Doctor Lu!"

"Okay, okay! See you later!" With that, Bian Mu hung up the phone.

Sometimes, it's really not worth risking your life for certain patients; it's completely pointless!

……

At 19:48 PM, the clinic closed early, and everyone was very happy. After a hard day's get off work, it was time to go home and get some rest.

Bian Muzhen was about to call Bian Yue to invite her to dinner when Lu Yisi called. He was using a landline, so he was probably on duty at the hospital.

"What are your plans to do about Wu Jinshuo's matter?"

"To be honest, I don't want to get involved. It's too exhausting and not worth it for him. But... don't laugh at me! We've been colleagues after all. Could you please arrange for an expert panel to discuss this? A comprehensive surgery, and let his family pay whatever they're supposed to. To be on the safe side, let's arrange the most reliable composite rehabilitation surgery for him! That way, I won't feel so guilty..." By the end, Bian Mu realized he was being a bit petty.

There's no way around it; those who don't know how to protect themselves are the hypocrites!
