Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1910 Lotus Pond Secret Meeting
Bian Mu had missed his house call time for a while, and they had already finished their conversation. After exchanging a few polite words, Bian Mu saw the Yu family father and daughter off with courtesy.

“Teacher Yu! Miss Yu! Old Master Liang is an old-school TCM doctor, and he really knows his stuff. What he said earlier was all true. Given his previous temper, if he encountered a situation like yours, he would have immediately refused. But today, he actually agreed to join forces with me, which naturally reduces the difficulty of the subsequent treatment. Let's take it slow and not rush it! Also, Miss Yu, you seem a bit tired today. After get off work at noon, I discussed it with a doctor surnamed Lu. If nothing unexpected happens, he will arrange for someone to accompany you to a top-tier hospital for a targeted physical examination tomorrow morning. After the results come out, I will meet with Old Master Liang again. In principle, I plan to arrange for you two to have a first round of massage therapy at the Seventh Municipal Hospital. Because of the special nature of your condition, I will have to formulate the specific details of the physiotherapy plan.” Bian Mu explained with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the Yu family father and daughter were overjoyed, and Teacher Yu repeatedly expressed his gratitude.

"You two shouldn't have too high expectations. Let's just do our best! Also, I always see Miss Yu carrying English materials. Do you have any career plans for the future?" Bian Mu asked casually.

“I’ve obtained every accounting qualification certificate in China. I can’t just stay at home doing nothing forever! I’m thinking of getting an international accounting certificate or something, which might come in handy in the future,” Ms. Yu replied casually.

"Oh! You know accounting?! Can you do bookkeeping?" Slightly surprised, Bian Mu asked with a smile.

"Yes, I do! I'm not idle at home most of the time. I do accounting, customs declaration, year-end settlement and stuff for small companies. It's just that sometimes I don't have the energy, so I have to turn down some jobs halfway through."

"Really? Well... anyway, you still have a long course of treatment ahead of you! Don't misunderstand! I didn't mean anything by it, it's just the objective situation! I thought you were already mentally prepared, so why don't you do my accounting for me? It's no trouble, it's in the pharmaceutical field. Didn't I recently start a pharmaceutical studio? It's just me, and a new drug was launched under that studio's name. Sales have been pretty good lately, but the accounting is a bit complicated. Since you have all the necessary qualifications, why don't you do the accounting while you're receiving treatment here? You're more knowledgeable than me about salaries, so you can name your price." On a whim, Bian Mu suddenly decided to hire Miss Yu as his professional accountant for a while.

Upon hearing this, the Yu father and daughter were overjoyed.

"I have no problem with my side, but I'm not sure if I can get the relevant business handled for you, the owner," Ms. Yu said with a smile, expressing her modesty.

"The accounts in my studio aren't complicated. You'll understand once you get started. So... shall we start work soon?"

"No problem! My health isn't very good, so I might have to work less sometimes. I hope I won't cause you any problems," Ms. Yu replied with a smile.

"Probably not. The level of computerization and AI is quite high now. We're using a large company's accounting system software here. You'll see how easy it is once you get started!"

"That would be wonderful, thank you for such a great opportunity, Master. I understand, you're indirectly helping me with 'psychological therapy'!" Well! Miss Yu understands everything.

"Hehe...that's part of it, but...I have great faith in your accounting and finance skills. Let's trust and help each other!"

After expressing their gratitude repeatedly, the Yu family father and daughter took their leave and went home.

……

Senior Sister Mu Shiye was incredibly helpful. In less than three days, Bian Mu's meticulously crafted treatment plan had already partially achieved its treatment goals. At the same time, Miss Yu also began to familiarize herself with the accounting system of Bian's Medical Studio. Duan Hongyi would occasionally help adjust the accounting software. Before long, Duan Hongyi told Bian Mu that Miss Yu's business skills were outstanding, and that it was a waste of her talents to stay at home all day doing accounting for a small company.

Bian Mu was overjoyed and also handed over the clinic's backup accounts to Miss Yu for review. If nothing unexpected happened, Bian Mu planned to formally hire a cashier to form an accounting team with Miss Yu. The clinic and studio would gradually get on the right track in terms of finances.

……

That evening, as it was almost time to leave work, Bian Mu still had one young patient left. He was a boy, a little over three years old but not quite four. He walked with uneven feet and couldn't always adjust his center of gravity properly. He would fall down when he got anxious, which made the other children at kindergarten tease him.

After Bian Mu's diagnosis, acupuncture treatment was deemed sufficient. This was the third acupuncture session today—exactly three needles. The boy's parents and maternal grandmother stayed by his side the whole time. Bian Mu sat a short distance away, resting with his eyes closed, waiting for the acupuncture to end so he could remove the needles and go home. His phone rang.

The phone number of the owner of the pond.

"There's a traditional Chinese music performance at Lotus Pond tonight. Would you like to go and relax?" Master Chi suddenly invited Bian Mu to go out for a stroll.

"The kind where people wear Hanfu and play traditional music? Do they charge admission?"

"It's kind of like a small private event where you need an invitation to get in."

"The lotus flowers are in full bloom this season, a truly delightful time for elegant music and refined pursuits! What time should we meet?"

"It doesn't matter, it depends on your time."

"Is there anywhere to eat there?" Bian Mu asked casually over the phone.

"Yes! There are a few that are quite upscale, with a membership system and a nice atmosphere."

"Okay! I'll finish up here, send my location, and head over later."

"No rush, go ahead and do your thing, I'm hanging up now!" With that, Master Chi hung up the landline.

Bian Mu guessed that Master Chi was probably still busy at the Cen Family Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic at the moment, so his sudden invitation to go out to enjoy the flowers and music meant that he probably had something important to discuss.

……

When Bian Mu drove to the location, wow! Although it wasn't very large, the various people coming and going didn't seem to be ordinary wage earners.

Colorful lights and fragrant flowers filled the air, creating a delightful atmosphere. Bian Mu, who rarely attended meetings at night, was completely absorbed in the scene.

"It's better than you think! Don't live like an old man at such a young age. You should spend more time interacting with people from all walks of life. Great doctors and great talents emerge from the bustling world! Spending all your time in the clinic can make you stiff and dull-witted." At some point, Master Chi quietly appeared beside Bian Mu.

"That makes sense! Thanks to you, shall we eat first, or listen to music first?"

“You’re an amateur! Come on! You’ll see once you’re inside.” With that, Master Chi took out two formal invitations, the kind with gold and glitter, from his bag and accompanied Bian Mu toward the garden gate.

Along the way, the two walked and talked. Bian Mu then realized that this meeting was actually a secret meeting, and that Master Chi planned to hand over the Cen family's pharmaceutical industry!
To be honest, Bian Mu really scared her at the time!
