Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1952 Easy Success
Old Liang rented a small courtyard in Sangong Lake. The owner was a resident of Lijin City. He originally bought the house to spend holidays there and enjoy a pastoral life to change his mood. Later, he got tired of it and found that the so-called pastoral life was more monotonous and boring. So, the courtyard was left idle.

Old Liang rented the place for a year at a very low price, which the landlord thought was a good deal. He figured a group of traditional Chinese medicine doctors would be of decent quality, and they would also help maintain the yard, saving him the trouble of having to go to the countryside to maintain it from time to time.

Old Liang appointed himself as the deputy group leader, and there were no other deputy leaders. As soon as he took office, he demanded that all group members pay membership fees, even if it was only one yuan per month, otherwise he would kick them out.

Bian Mu knew that the old man had his reasons for doing this, so he pretended not to know anything and didn't interfere!
Not only that, Old Liang would also urge everyone to submit various assignments from time to time, and those who failed to meet the standards X times in a row would still be kicked out!

As a result, the number of new members joining the group not only did not decrease but increased day by day. Before long, the technical discussion group was full. After obtaining Bian Mu's consent, Lao Liangtou directly opened two new groups and formally issued group rules, stipulating that those who violated the rules a certain number of times would be kicked out.

Gradually, these three groups became famous. Zhao Xicheng, Lei Xiaoxuan, and others also joined the groups under pseudonyms. When Duan Hongyi was doing technical maintenance in the background, she inadvertently discovered their real identities and reported them to Bian Mu immediately.

Bian Mu relayed the news to Old Liang, who thought it was a good thing that those people had joined the group.

Old Liang said not to take them too seriously; as long as they don't cause trouble, just ignore them.

Bian Mu was quite diligent in grading the assignments of his colleagues. He would explain the common points in the group chat, and for more important technical issues, he would take them to a small courtyard near Sangong Lake for special lectures. In no time, the research association became very popular.

Several media outlets also reported on it in a timely manner. Given Bian Mu's fame, the number of new groups quickly increased to 12. Dr. Gong and Luo Zhanqi also became the group's maintenance personnel. In the past few days, the three young interns have also joined in, doing some small things for Boss Bian that they can do.

Gradually, Bian Mu discovered many previously overlooked medical details. He would carefully review them several times, and if any needed rectification, he would immediately take action to correct them. Before long, the benefits became apparent in all aspects. Those who opened clinics began to imitate some of Bian Mu's medical practices and some more advanced treatment plans, intentionally or unintentionally. They learned from each other, and both sides benefited greatly.

The group chat also discussed the "detoxifying ointment." Whenever she had free time, Bian Mu would tirelessly explain the origins and details of this new drug in the group or in her courtyard as thoroughly as possible. People's understanding of the "detoxifying ointment" had been elevated to a new level. Those who were quick-witted and not lazy had already managed their small clinics much more systematically. Those whose professional skills improved the most were surprised to find that the number of patients in their clinics was quietly increasing...

……

The crowds registering for appointments at the "Xin G20" Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic have started blocking the main street. Relevant departments have approached Bian Mu and said that this situation is not appropriate. They have also suggested that Bian Mu open a branch clinic.

Bian Mu said that he was currently short of manpower and resources, but promised to start construction as soon as a suitable site was found.

That morning, Bian Mu was having breakfast at home when he suddenly heard several very special bird calls. The sounds were unlike anything he had ever heard before, not only melodious but also seemingly conveying some kind of message.

Bian Mu strolled to the south balcony and looked around. Hmm?! It seemed to be that old, familiar big bird that usually perched on the branches at night, pondering things. Intrigued, Bian Mu returned to the living room, picked up his phone, and called San Qiangzi to tell him that he could release the bird.

……

Early that morning, just as the clinic opened, the woman excitedly came to tell Bian Mu that her son had heard birds chirping and was very excited, chasing after the birds with his arms and legs. Recently, his appetite had increased significantly, causing his family to worry that his stomach might not be able to handle it.

"The first course of treatment is now complete. I'll go home after get off work at noon to give my child some Bian acupressure treatment. If we continue for about a week, I believe my child should be able to try singing."

"Really? You're usually too busy here, so let's come over ourselves! It's not good to make you run errands."

"Hehe... I'm not afraid of being photographed by paparazzi and making headlines these days!" Bian Mu said with a smile. "I was a bit arrogant before. I've been retired from acting for so long, everyone has completely forgotten about me. I'm much more relaxed now."

"It's better to be careful. I'll go over there myself. Your son needs to gradually overcome the social psychological difficulties he's created to completely break free. There are too many people around here, it's really not suitable for him," Bian Mu explained with a smile.

"Thank you for your understanding, Dr. Bian! Oh, I forgot to tell you something. My husband is not usually very talkative, but he is very thoughtful. I heard that your hospital has been having trouble finding a location for your branch. My husband is willing to offer a place for free. I just don't know if Dr. Bian would be interested."

Upon hearing this, Bian Mu's eyes lit up.

"Free is definitely not an option; a discount on the rent would already be very generous. Where exactly is it located?"

"Dr. Bian should have heard of it; it's the largest health club under the Cen Family Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic. You may not know this, but the Cen family has actually been owing us a lot of rent on and off. Out of respect for the old man, we haven't dared to urge them. Recently, their business has plummeted, and they're lifeless and lacking any vitality. Rather than dragging it out like this, we might as well take back the property and rent it to your clinic at a low price."

Upon hearing this, Bian Mu was both surprised and delighted.

"So... how much is the rent per year?"

"How about 1 or 12 per month?" the female celebrity replied with a smile.

“Even at 2 a month, we’re already getting a great deal. I wouldn’t dare rent it for 1. Let’s not calculate it by the month. With all the miscellaneous fees added up, it’ll be 30 a year. Is that okay?”

“My husband will not agree. He originally thought that your organization would just contribute a symbolic amount to make things acceptable in all aspects. 30 is a bit too much.”

"So... 20 a year?"

"It's still a bit too much..."

"Well... just for good luck, 18 a year!"

"Let's make it 15! Consider it a compromise between the two of us. Your facility can use it for as long as you want, and we can sign a long-term rental agreement."

"Forget about long-term agreements. In the past two years, there have been frequent changes in the entity. Who can say what will happen a year from now?! Then let's go with 15. I'll try renting it for a year first."

"Well... alright! Dr. Xie Bian, give us a chance to express our gratitude."

"I should be thanking you both! I have to go out for my outpatient appointments, but I'll go over there during my lunch break to treat the child."

"Okay, okay! You go ahead and do your work, goodbye! Don't see me off, don't see me off! Bye-bye!" With that, the female celebrity hurriedly left the clinic and went home.
