Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1961 Revisiting the Marquis of Huaiyin

There is still a lot of trash left at the health club. Bian Mu hasn't had time to find someone to clean it up yet. After dinner, Bian Mu arranged to accompany Dian Shuhua to tidy up a place where people can stay, so that Dian Shuhua can be settled temporarily.

Dian Shuhua quickly stopped him, claiming that he had learned many skills he never dreamed of during his time on the streets, and that sorting out garbage was one of his strengths!
With a smile, Bian Mu didn't insist any further. He could use this small matter as a good opportunity to further examine what kind of person Dian Shuhua really was.

……

The next day at noon, after getting off work, Bian Mu drank a few sips of water, changed his clothes, and planned to go to the health center to see Dian Shuhua. The autumn rain was continuous, and the weather was getting colder day by day. He also planned to take him out for hot pot. If Dian Shuhua was really capable, Bian Mu planned to secretly arrange for him to be in charge of the branch.

On the surface, Dr. Ning will be in charge of the first branch of "Xin G20" Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic. When everything is ready, Liang Xiangyin will also move there. Luo Zhanqi's business overlaps with Bian Mu's, so he will also move there to take charge of the physiotherapy department after a while. At that time, Bian Mu initially plans to hire another assistant for him.

Bian Mu did this to prevent malicious people from causing trouble behind his back.

After he has basically recovered, Bian Mu plans to arrange for Dian Shuhua to be Liang Xiangyin's assistant, publicly known as an intern disciple. If Liang Xiangyin finds it troublesome, then he can only temporarily make him Dr. Ning's assistant, fully responsible for managing the miscellaneous affairs of the branch, and the prescription authority will not be delegated to him for the time being.

To find out Dian Shuhua's background, Bian Mu would have to send someone to his hometown to investigate. If everything was correct... and Dian Shuhua's medical skills also had to be truly excellent, then Bian Mu could hand over the branch to him.

Better safe than sorry!
Bian Mu's family is too poor to dare to make any mistakes!
I had just stepped out the door when my phone rang.

Oh! It's a call from Old Liang, the forest ranger.

"Uncle! Is there something you need?"

“Deyuelou recently launched a series of roast goose dishes. It’s not fun to eat alone, so I went over to try it.”

"Okay!" With that, the trip to the health center was naturally canceled. Dian Shuhua's life had suddenly changed drastically, and he needed to adjust. Well, let him sort things out over there for now.

Walking along the sidewalk, Bian Mu transferred 5000 yuan to Dian Shuhua, with a note telling him to hire two people to tidy up the area roughly, and that he didn't need to do it himself.

……

The third branch of "Deyuelou" was closest to where Old Liang lived. The two of them chose a table on the second floor and ordered three roast goose dishes, braised pork rice as their staple food, and a bowl of winter melon and mushroom soup. To cut through the richness, the restaurant also provided three fresh, homemade pickled vegetables.

Bian Mu accompanied Old Liang as they ate and chatted.

"The group we've set up for communication among peers is a bit overcrowded. It would be a shame not to take advantage of it!" Old Liang muttered to himself.

"what do you mean……"

"Back then you were still in school! There was a doctor named Yuan in the city whose medical skills were no less than Cen Songxue's, at most a little less than Nie Yixiong's. At the time, he was also an editor of a traditional Chinese medicine magazine. I remember he wrote a few articles, which were published in that kind of magazine. The gist of it was that we needed to reconstruct a completely new set of TCM practice norms, technical standards, and medication regulations under the contemporary 'Greater TCM' framework. It's been many years, so I don't remember very well..." Old Liang was a few years older, and his speech had a somewhat muttering quality. "Teacher Zhao Xicheng's maternal uncle?"

"Yes! That's him! He was a very good person and a very skilled doctor, it's a pity... he passed away a little too soon... His nephew was quite different from him, they were on completely different paths..."

"You and Director Yuan are quite familiar with each other?" Bian Mu asked curiously.

"Like you, Doctor Yuan is well-versed in pharmacology and can prescribe medicine himself. If he wanted to make some money, it would be a piece of cake for him, but he treats money like dirt... In his spare time, he likes to wander around Cuiwei Mountain. He gets along quite well with Old Pei. Once, he encountered some wild wolves in the mountains, and I was the one who helped him escape the predicament. That's how we met..."

"Oh... what do you mean by bringing this up again?"

"An industry benchmark! At this crucial moment, you need to use the TCM exchange group to re-establish a new benchmark for the TCM and traditional Chinese medicine industry! We are just a bunch of people with little influence, and this is all we can do. New industry standards and norms are the business of the relevant departments. Pushing things forward in this way will definitely benefit you the most in the short term!"

Upon hearing this, Bian Mu was taken aback and, unable to think of a reply, naturally remained silent.

Was Han Xin pitiful?

"So-so... In that era... there are many underlying logics that we two can't really understand right now. But... to use a new term, I've always felt that this Marquis of Huaiyin was actually a social media influencer of that time, a super-influencer!" Bian Mu replied casually with a smile.

"I don't know about internet celebrities or not, but... at the most crucial moment, Han Xin failed to establish the necessary industry benchmark in the army, leaving him with the same status he had when he suffered the 'humiliation of crawling between someone's legs.' When it really came down to it, no one really regarded him as some kind of 'military genius' or 'military sage.' Some things, if you don't advocate them, if you don't implement them, if you don't clarify them... they just don't exist! In the end, he ended up all alone, looking miserable... In history, many famous people have made similar mistakes, and in the end, their fate was decided by others who were far inferior to them. We can't follow their old path. We must establish a new industry benchmark. In this industry, some things can't be achieved solely through word of mouth!" Old Liang earnestly emphasized his thoughts.

"Huh?! I haven't even met the clinical experience requirement yet. Isn't it inappropriate to be so eager to gain fame and fortune?!" Bian Mu questioned immediately.

"Silly child! Is this simply about vying for fame and fortune?! Nie Yixiong is skilled in every way, but he's selfish, greedy for fame and profit, and only cares about making his Nie family rich. He hides many things, and what's the result?! In such a big city, where traditional Chinese medicine is quite developed, we haven't been able to establish a new industry benchmark. What good is this for the future development of traditional Chinese medicine?!"

Hearing this, Bian Mu fell silent.

It seems I was too narrow-minded and completely misunderstood the old man's deeper meaning.

"Old Han used his own life to remind top students in all walks of life that when a person's ability reaches the pinnacle of their industry, there are some things... doing them or not doing them makes a world of difference. The impact on oneself, the future development of the industry, and relatives and friends is unimaginable to ordinary people. Take it to heart, think about it when you have time. As for how to handle things in the group, just tell me, you're busy with important matters!"

"Well... alright! I'll think about it some more later. This matter is a bit complicated, and I'm still a little confused about it right now..." Bian Mu said modestly.

"No need for that! It's just a natural progression! Just go with the flow, and when it matters, you have to act like a man! Establish your skills, your character, and your profession! That's what matters!"

Hearing this, Bian Mu nodded slightly, feeling that Old Liang was truly no ordinary person.
