Chapter 1955 Learning to Respect the Benefit Ratio

Back at the clinic, while packing her backpack, Bian Mu discovered that the birdseed she had brought with her was untouched.

Bian Mu found a gift bag, put the box of birdseed inside, and carried it upstairs to Dr. Gong's clinic.

"I was so busy chatting with the young patient's father that I forgot something important!" As she spoke, Bian Mu handed the gift bag to Dr. Gong.

Completely bewildered, Dr. Gong took the gift bag with a puzzled look on his face.

“This is birdseed prepared by a friend, the really professional kind. The reason that little patient recovered so quickly is largely due to the fact that the child has established a relatively good interactive relationship with the birds. The child has a bit of a talent for this. I was supposed to spend some time with him chatting with the birds in the neighborhood today, but I forgot in the rush. Next time you go for my follow-up appointment, it's still the foot tendon treatment, be sure to make an appointment with Dr. Luo. This bag of birdseed will come in handy then! Don't go alone. From now on, whenever you go out for a clinic visit, you must bring a colleague along, male or female, it must be a pair. I'll emphasize this to Sister Ye later, and this will be the rule of our clinic from now on!” Bian Mu explained seriously.

Upon hearing this, Dr. Gong was both surprised and delighted.

"Boss! Does that mean... I can make house calls independently from now on?!"

“It could have been done a long time ago, but… our clinic needs to establish a reputable brand. Then, we won’t have to hide the hospital’s name anymore! We can openly change the name to ‘New Concept Clinic’! So… we naturally have to be stricter with you guys! From today onwards, if you need to make any outpatient visits, just let me know in advance. Afterwards, all relevant medical records must be properly submitted to Sister Ye for archiving. Both electronic and handwritten versions are required, and they must be signed!”

"Thank you for your trust, boss!" Dr. Gong was overjoyed.

In fact, everyone knew that Luo Zhanqi had been making many private medical consultations behind the scenes, and he didn't hand over a significant portion of his income to Nurse Ye. Considering that Dr. Luo was relatively prudent and that the consultations were limited to massage and acupressure, Bian Mu turned a blind eye.

but……

Luo Zhanqi is a man of principle. Whenever he has clients who need traditional Chinese medicine bone setting or difficult massage, he will inform them in advance. He will only leave after Bian Mu has reviewed the relevant medical case outlines, and he will also hand over a portion of his income afterward.

Liang Xiangyin is getting old and never takes on outside medical work. No matter what kind of client he encounters, he always refuses.

Dr. Ning stopped making house calls and focused on improving her medical skills under Bian Mu's guidance. Before she knew it, she had already published two high-quality papers, which would give her a lot of points when applying for a professional title.

“This is all thanks to your own hard work. After the treatment, if the weather is nice, take your child to the neighborhood to play with the birds. This kind of birdseed is specially made. The birds can smell it from far away. Just hold it in your palm and the birds will come down to eat. Do they whistle?” Bian Mu asked with a smile.

"I know a little bit. I learned it when I was a kid, I often went to the forest farm with the neighbor's kids to tease the birds."

“I learned a little bird language from a friend. You can practice a few simple human-bird conversation phrases first…” As she spoke, Bian Mu explained the simple bird language rhymes.

Dr. Gong had been diligently learning breathing techniques from Bian Muqin, and she had long since mastered the art of breathing. In addition, she was very clever, and she learned almost everything in a short time.

"Boss! Is there anything else I need to pay special attention to when performing Bian therapy?" Dr. Gong remained as humble as ever.

“Next time, just make sure the Bian jade is at room temperature. You can’t quite master the timing of low-temperature treatment yet. The Heaven-grade Bian jade is used to open up the meridians throughout the body. Focus your attention on the connection between the large tendon under the tongue and the tendon in the foot. This is the key to the mid-stage treatment. Some things can only be gradually understood and summarized through specific clinical practice. The Earth-grade Bian jade is used to regulate the Qi of the spleen and stomach. As long as the child can tolerate it, you can increase the pressure. The Human-grade Bian jade is used for neutralization. You’ll have to figure that out yourself! The calming needle is difficult to insert. You can learn it slowly later! You have your advantages. Just coax the child a little. That female celebrity is a sensible person. She’ll take care of things.” Bian Mu patiently explained for a long time.

"Can't even Dr. Luo do it?"

"Not yet, but it should be about right later! Take some time to rest!" After saying that, Bian Mu went downstairs to her own clinic and took a nap.

……

Autumn has quietly arrived, and it's the best season for treating respiratory illnesses like chronic bronchitis, chronic pneumonia, and mild asthma with spinal plasters. Bian Mu informed Secretary Zhang to completely halt production of their spinal plasters, which had been selling quite well. "Our spinal plaster series is sold in almost the entire northern market; it's an indispensable source of revenue for our company! Why stop production?" Assistant Zhang's voice was a bit harsh on the phone.

“The clinical data for the ‘detoxifying plaster’ has come in, and I’ve gained some new insights into pharmacology. We need to make some technical adjustments to our spinal patch series.” Bian Mu patiently explained over the phone.

The "Yiyoukang" pharmaceutical group is too big to handle. Although Assistant Zhang managed to get back on the job, her influence within the company has always been quite limited. Every now and then, when she tries to implement some new measures, good heavens! There are those who shirk responsibility, those who oppose her, and those who seem honest on the surface but are actually just passively going along with her behind her back. She gets angry all the time, and Assistant Zhang's life is anything but easy.

In the dead of night, Assistant Zhang sat there pondering whether he had made a mistake in reassigning her.
Upon hearing anything unpleasant on the phone, Assistant Zhang immediately became furious.

"Technical fixes?! That must cost a lot of money, right?" On the phone, Assistant Zhang was quite sensitive about the financial investment.

"The production process needs to be adjusted, which will probably cost more than 30 yuan!"

"So much?! Is it really necessary?! Anyway, the profits are doing alright right now, so why don't we wait and see?"

"We have to be responsible to the patients, right? The treatment effect is still quite different, how about... I'll pay half?"

"No need for that... However... you can't receive dividends until the profit margin drops below 1%." Even close brothers should keep clear accounts. Although he was very unhappy, Assistant Zhang finally agreed to make a small adjustment.

"No problem! I've already made the sample. I'll send it to you another day. I'll also send the relevant technical information to your email. It's encrypted, and the password is the same as before!"

"Yes! The business environment we've been facing recently is quite different from before. There's a saying... it's better to say it outright."

"We're all on the same side, so speak your mind. We're all ears!"

"From now on, whenever it comes to anything involving money, I suggest you think more about the return on investment. You're an upright person and have great skills, which are your advantages. However, in business, what works technically might not be profitable. Your friends often need your help, and there are some things they can't say. I'm different; I'm living a life of constant anxiety. You have to think about me too..."

"Okay, okay! The clinic is doing alright, how about... I'll cover the cost of this technological upgrade!"

"Let's talk about it next time! Anyway... in the future, when we encounter similar situations, we should think more about our relatives and friends. Sometimes... we also need to consider the feelings of our relatives and friends when pursuing our own ideals, right?"

"You're right, I'll be careful."

"By the way, I heard that Tao Wenjie's construction site has stopped work."

"Really? Why?"

"It seems some of the funds haven't arrived yet. Didn't she mention this to you?"

"No! I've been busy lately and haven't been in touch much!"

"She's too cunning! You two are actually quite similar in some ways!"

"I wouldn't dare compare myself to her. I'll hang up now if there's nothing else!"

"Okay! Take it easy!" With that, Assistant Zhang hung up the phone.
