Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1963 Hidden Thunder Must Be Eliminated
The techniques of traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis by observation are actually incredibly rich and far more complex than people imagine. Is every professional TCM doctor like Bian Que (a legendary Chinese physician known for his skill in divination)? It's impossible to make a diagnosis with just a glance!
Even a slightly gifted traditional Chinese medicine doctor needs many years of rigorous training to gain some experience.

Bian Mu is considered lucky; at such a young age, he has already honed his diagnostic skills to a considerable degree.

The unusually cold look in the eyes of the owner of those three vicious dogs would occasionally flash through Bian Mu's mind, making him feel uneasy.

……

"Yu Ji Private Kitchen," the pretty female chef wasn't on duty today, so Bian Mu specially chose a kind-looking, mature head chef and invited "Knife-faced" to sit down in front of the three masters and apprentices.

Bian Mu ordered some mutton and seafood. It was a rare occasion for him to visit a high-end restaurant. "Knife-faced" didn't put on airs and ordered some of his favorite seafood ingredients, asking his two apprentices across the street to make some "stir-fried" dishes. "Knife-faced" didn't mind the seafood being undercooked and claimed that it would be fine when it was 60% cooked.

The two ate and chatted.

"Didn't that guy not mention compensation? What? He's showing up again around the clinic?! Or what?" "Striped Face" asked curiously.

"That guy's eyes have a rather peculiar 'heart,' the kind that's determined to go all the way down a dark path, it's innate! One dead and two crippled, he's the kind of person who treats pets like children, so... he must have been harboring evil intentions all along! I don't care, our clinic has insurance from both sides, even if he dares to burn the clinic down, the losses will be limited, as long as no one gets hurt. The problem is... if he has someone with a lot of power and capable of causing trouble around him, that would be more troublesome. After thinking it over, we have to compensate the person who killed that dog, otherwise, it's not reasonable, and it's not worth creating any hidden dangers for such a small amount of money."

“Oh! That makes sense! Men, sometimes they just feel frustrated, they can’t eat or sleep properly, they have to do this or that to get what they want… I had that mentality back then, I understand, I understand! So… how exactly do we proceed?” “Striped Face” asked calmly.

"Do me two favors. When you have free time, keep an eye on the branch office. If you notice anything amiss, let me know immediately, and I'll handle it! We have a new colleague at the branch office. He's got some martial arts skills, and he's a very nice person, but he's a bit too honest and can't bring himself to be ruthless when things get tough. His surname is Dian! You saw him at the ribbon-cutting ceremony, do you remember him?"

"I remember him! The tall, handsome, and manly one, right?"

"Yes! It's him! Let's keep an eye on him and protect him. Let's put it this way, in the future... that branch will most likely be under his control. I can't say for sure about other things, but in terms of acupuncture skills alone, he's already a top-tier expert. We'll see about other aspects later. By the way, I'm not really sure what kind of person he is. You can also help me investigate him."

"Okay! What about the other one?"

"I'll ask around among my friends to see if there's a suitable middleman to mediate. We'll meet, I'll pay him back the dog money, and let him vent his anger. That might be the end of it. I'll also look for someone; whoever finds a suitable person first gets to keep them!" Bian Mu revealed with a smile.

"Sure! We have some work to do tomorrow, and I can meet a few people at noon. I'll discuss it with them!"

Drinking was allowed at dinner, and Bian Mu specially ordered a few bottles of beer, which the two of them enjoyed quite a bit.

As they chatted, Bian Mu gave a detailed account of how he had offended that young master Wu because of Miss Xiao Ying.

"Back then, I had no relatives or friends in the city, and I was always a little uneasy. We were on our way, and he sent some guys to ambush us. Even after we found out nothing serious happened, I still felt uneasy. It wasn't until General Manager Chen and General Manager Pan intervened several times, and Mr. Wu's father personally expressed his support, that the matter was finally covered up. This time it's probably similar; I have to make some kind of gesture to put an end to this hidden threat before I feel at ease. You know, once the branch opens, the number of people I offend will only increase. That guy… what if one day, various opposing sides happen to join forces against me? That would be a real problem! I didn't realize I was being so naive. Now that I've realized this, I have to take some measures!"

“That makes sense! I’ll get to work on it tomorrow.” “Thank you for your hard work!” As she spoke, Bian Mu pushed the handbag she had brought to her feet.

"I put some good cigarettes, fine wines, and good teas inside, all gifts from friends. We hardly ever smoke or drink, so they'd all go to waste if left out for too long!" Bian Mu said with a smile.

He smiled, said nothing more, and the "sharp-faced" man stopped talking.

……

The five-year-old patient with speech impairment was already in the third stage of treatment. Bian Mu visited him once to start treating the boy's ears, and Dr. Gong accompanied him throughout the process, learning very diligently.

Bian Mu basically left his subsequent treatment to Dr. Gong. After get off work, Bian Mu went for a follow-up check-up once or twice and found that Dr. Gong's acupuncture skills had improved quite quickly.

With his colleagues moving, the clinic headquarters became much emptier. So, Bian Mu asked Mr. Bi to come over every morning. Bian Mu started acupuncture treatment for him in the special consultation room on the second floor. There were two purposes. First, to establish a muscle rehabilitation and blood circulation recovery pathway to guide Mr. Bi to recover the muscles in the key parts of his body as soon as possible and minimize the rate of muscle loss.

Secondly, Bian Mu's first attempt to artificially construct a "gait maintenance Qi system" within the body of Chairman Bi is a major innovative attempt for all professional TCM doctors. If successful, its medical innovation significance is extraordinary, and the economic benefits that will naturally arise in the later stages are immeasurable.

Having repeatedly experienced the benefits of feeling light and healthy, Chairman Bi was very cooperative. Grateful for Bian Mu's timely help, when no one else was around, Chairman Bi proposed to donate some high-tech medical equipment to the newly opened branch of the National Medical Center.

Bian Mu made it clear that he would not accept any reward without merit and declined it on the spot.

Bi Dongping was usually very reserved, so he couldn't force Bian Mu to put on such a show. After a few jokes, the matter was over. Dr. Gong, listening from the side, couldn't help but groan inwardly, constantly complaining that his boss was too aloof and self-important. He had made something so simple seem like a big deal...

With more open space, Miss Yu naturally no longer needed to work from home. Bian Mu had someone rearrange the clinic that Liang Xiangyin had used before, and properly set up a finance office. She was in charge of both the accounts of the clinic headquarters and the special workshop of "Hongyang" Pharmaceutical Company.

Seeing that the pine trees in Zhangwang Village were growing better and better, Miss Yu wanted to ask when she could start the next course of treatment ahead of schedule, but Bian Mu didn't say a word. She was shy and firmly believed that Bian Mu had his own arrangements, so in the end she was too embarrassed to urge Bian Mu.

……

Dr. Ning is very capable; the branch is operating smoothly. As the temporary manager, she appears unassuming on the surface, but she is actually quite concerned, and her management skills are gradually becoming apparent.

Nurse Ye was as diligent as ever, and she knew to consult Dr. Ning on important matters. She managed everything inside and out with the same meticulous care.

Dian Shuhua worked very hard, from morning till night, and was very proactive. Gradually, his colleagues realized that his medical skills were definitely not to be underestimated. Once the adaptation period was over, he would most likely become the head of a major department.
