Merchant and doctor

Chapter 2085 All the good places were carefully planned
Mr. Yang, a vendor at the "Flower Field Ghost Market," would have a copy of "Ten Commentaries on the Mathematical Classic" delivered to him. Whenever he had a spare moment, he would flip through a couple of pages, repeatedly checking any parts he didn't quite understand. He had maintained this good reading habit for over a decade.

During her middle school years, in order to prepare for the college entrance examination and the high school entrance examination, Bian Mu studied almost without leaving any "blind spots". Even those obscure knowledge points that might not be covered in the formal exams, Bian Mu tried her best to understand them clearly. She humbly asked others for advice when necessary, and tried to find out the details of the information she needed. Early on, Bian Mu intuitively understood a principle: either don't study at all, or if you pick up a book, you have to get to the bottom of it. You should try not to miss any detail in the chain of cognition, and if possible, you should try to explain the relationship between each logical detail clearly.

Many of the neighborhood children are playful and have failed their middle school or college entrance exams. Bian Mu has heard countless stories of this firsthand. She has witnessed how the elders of each family have gone to great lengths to get their children into school, begging and pleading with everyone they know!
Bian Mu has been a filial son since he was a child. He didn't want to see his parents looking worried about two embarrassing electronic report cards. At a young age, he was convinced of one thing: if all the logical details are right, what can the test setter do to him?!
With this special mindset, Bian Mu single-handedly made it to the medical university, passing the entrance exams for junior high, high school, and college.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this rigorous academic style that Bian Mu, at less than thirty years old, is already able to occasionally compete with the top doctors in Lijin City.

The *Ten Commentaries on the Mathematical Classic* is a thoroughly professional ancient text, even more specialized than the *Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art*, the *Zhoubi Suanjing*, and the *Moya Kesuan*. Not only is it dry and tedious to read, but one is also frequently tripped up by old mathematical concepts and obscure classical Chinese. Fortunately, Bian Mu has a very solid foundation in mathematics, and he painstakingly studied the classical Chinese word by word. Back in the day, he even achieved the highest score in the entire school's history for the classical Chinese subject in medical school! During his spare time, Bian Mu basically read it like a novel…

Even so, after all, more than a thousand years have passed, and some things are still quite puzzling. Bian Mu has a good attitude; if he can't understand something, he'll put it aside for now. On the surface, his reading speed seems to have slowed down. However, he leaves no doubts from beginning to end, and he never avoids difficult points of knowledge, striving to understand them thoroughly. Unconsciously, his reading speed gradually increases...

Gradually, Bian Mu discovered that this set of "Ten Commentaries on the Mathematical Classic" was actually quite useful!
First of all, this set of books may be a powerful tool for me to unveil the mystery of "Taoist medicine" in the future.

Secondly, this set of professional ancient arithmetic classics provided me with a unique perspective for philosophical thinking. Moreover, its core content is purely mathematical. Things that I had always seen in a hazy way could now be clearly explained step by step, almost exactly the same as doing various math problems when I was in school.

Finally, this set of "Ten Commentaries on the Mathematical Classic" fills in some imperceptible academic gaps in the "mathematical medicine" school from a special perspective. Whenever Bian Mu thinks of something, he immediately finds a notebook nearby to write it down. Sometimes, when it's inconvenient on the subway, he will get off temporarily to record those "fragments of thought" in his phone's memo. Many people have suffered greatly in this regard. In this life, if you really want to achieve some academic maturity, some brilliant ideas will only flash by once in your life. If you miss them, it's a matter of life and death. Many people live their whole lives in a daze and never realize this until they die.

Bian Mu is different. He has a strong desire to become famous and successful. This is not because he is greedy for fame and fortune. He is very clear that if he cannot establish his own school of thought in academic achievements, he will probably be subject to others at any time in his life. He can hardly accept that feeling.

Deep down, Bian Mu is more like an eagle soaring freely in the sky, unrestrained, unique, and in control of his own life!

Speaking of the present, this set of books is quite practical. The No. 3 Medical Clinic is definitely going to be built, but where should it be located?! Although Bian Mu is quite proficient in metaphysical site selection, he is not a professional in that field after all, and there are still some things he only vaguely understands. Of course, the three places that Sun Zhengting and his group selected now seem to be unworkable. The reason is simple: they are unscientific, too simple, and even a bit childish.

What's the fundamental difference between Sun Zhengting and his group's site selection strategy and simply choosing a spot on the street to open a restaurant, supermarket, or kindergarten?
Deeply inspired, Bian Mu asked a patient's family member for more than a dozen sheets of white paper, roughly half the size of the living room in the Wu family's old house. Whenever he had free time, he would mark something on it with a pencil, then connect the lines, then mark it again... If the logic didn't make sense, he would erase it and start over...

Gradually, Bian Mu realized that he was practically blind as he wandered through Lijin City every day. The special map he made clearly showed that this metropolis with a population of tens of millions was completely unfamiliar to him! After repeated consideration, Bian Mu initially planned to set up Clinic No. 3 near the old city wall on the west side of the south city.

Having made up her mind, Bian Mu originally intended to double-check with Teacher Duan Hongyi to see if there were any oversights in her thinking. However, upon further reflection, she realized that Teacher Duan and Cao Yueyue had been getting closer and closer recently, and perhaps one day Teacher Duan would cancel that so-called technical studio and then join one of Cao's subsidiaries. Bian Mu's thoughts immediately faded away. Oh well, it's better for people to get along naturally.

……

Dian Shuhua appears calm and collected on the surface, but he is actually quite efficient when it comes to getting things done. Before anyone knew it, he was already wearing a white lab coat and working seriously as a professional assistant researcher in the laboratory of the Little White Building. Whenever he had free time, he would go over to help the experts and professors, working hard without complaint, and quickly won the favor of many senior teachers.

The draft paper sent by Deputy Secretary-General Cai was of poor quality. Not only was the argument vague, but the core argument was also contradictory from time to time. If it weren't for the fact that the writing was passable, Bian Muzhen would doubt whether the author had ever attended university.

With utmost concentration, Bian Mu lost countless hairs before finally managing to revise the flawed thesis to near completion. He then sent his revisions to Deputy Secretary-General Cai via email.

"Received!" That was all the reply I got in the email—just two words and an exclamation mark—and then I never heard from them again.

As a result, Bian Mu found that this Deputy Secretary Cai was much easier to deal with than Professor Mi in some ways.

……

After tea and dinner, Bian Mu and "Striped Face" strolled around the city looking at houses, naturally focusing on the area near the old city wall site a little west of the south side of the city.

That evening, after get off work, Bian Mu drove to "Yu Nan Restaurant" with "Knife Face" and ordered a few dishes. They found a table by the window facing the street. The suitable location that Bian Mu had chosen was located diagonally across the street. Sitting on the third floor of the restaurant, he could see the street scene across the street through the floor-to-ceiling windows. While eating, Bian Mu still had to do a few more simulation calculations.
