Merchant and doctor

Chapter 2198 Meridian Reshaping
After leaving the teahouse and seeing no one else around, Bian Mu smiled and said to Mr. Meng, "You really think dancing can cure her illness?!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Meng was taken aback.

"You're the most famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor right now! She's serious! Even if it's just for psychological comfort, you can't play around like this! What's going on?!" Mr. Meng asked with a look of astonishment.

Clearly, Mr. Meng and the proprietress have an extraordinary relationship.

"Look how anxious you are! It's just that I don't have any good medicine on hand! I have to go to several places to gather some herbs. The Yin and Yang pillars need to form a relatively complete closed loop of Qi and blood—the kind of closed loop that concerns life and health! This is the basic prerequisite for maintaining a person's minimum health index, and she's severely deficient in this aspect, with significant leakage of Qi and blood. For example, in the north, heating is necessary in winter. Even though the heating pipes in her house haven't burst, the indoor temperature is always below 18 degrees Celsius, sometimes even below 15 degrees. The elderly and children in the family are constantly catching colds, and their arms and legs often feel uncomfortable." Upon inspection, it was found that there were pinholes everywhere in the pipes and radiators, causing a significant amount of heat leakage. These pinholes are invisible to the naked eye and cannot be sealed; they're inside, how can you seal them?! Send in a team of AI robots to repair them?! Right?! Replace the entire heating system?! The whole neighborhood would need renovations! That's unrealistic! Current medical technology isn't advanced enough, and even if we take a step back, most people can't afford that kind of money. Her blood circulation is roughly like this; you're an expert, how would you treat it?!" Bian Mu calmly used an analogy to vividly explain the landlady's predicament.

Suddenly stopping in his tracks, Mr. Meng stood frozen on the street, his eyes glazed over.

Wow! His relationship with that proprietress is really something else!
"Hey! It's not that it's incurable, it's that it's difficult to treat. What are you spacing out for?" Bian Mu teased with a smile, gently patting Mr. Meng's left shoulder.

"Leaks are everywhere, how can we fix it?!" Mr. Meng was starting to despair.

"Relieve pressure! Limit the flow! Rebuild new meridians. Meridians are naturally what they are! What deity decided that?!" Bian Mu walked around to Mr. Meng's face and explained with a smile.

"Huh?! This actually works?! No wonder people in the industry say you have a mysterious background... Damn! Stress relief? One plan; flow restriction, another plan; rebuilding new meridians, even harder! It's unbelievable, isn't this like Bian Que being reborn?! Hey?! By the way, these three treatment plans combined... if you really want to charge a treatment fee, how much would that cost?"

"Hey! I like hearing that! Let's calculate based on the lowest price, fair and square. How much do you want?"

"This... even if she liquidated all her family's assets, she still wouldn't be able to raise even 10%!" Mr. Meng's eyes glazed over; he had actually taken it seriously!
“Of course! At the very least, the ownership of this teahouse must be 100% in my name, right?” Bian Mu replied seriously.

"The teahouse is fine... You?! Damn! You're messing with me! No leader like you, hahaha..." Suddenly, Mr. Meng finally came to his senses.

“You’re a true expert! You know how difficult it is to treat a genuine and difficult-to-treat illness like hers. But… we have to be frank. This time, I’m only doing this out of respect for you, so I won’t charge you a penny. Most of the precious Chinese medicinal herbs are hand-picked, so I won’t charge her separately. In exchange, you’d better rein in your temper and try to stay with Teng Daili for a few more years. Don’t worry! If the clinic runs into any trouble, I’ll still be there for you! You just need to set up the first-class pharmacy! Set an example! To put it boldly, set an example for all Chinese medicine medical institutions in the entire Lijin City! In the future… we can face our ancestors with a clear conscience, right?” Bian Mu sincerely comforted him.

Nowadays, Bian Mu has learned some social skills in worldly social interactions, and he has to use them occasionally.

silence……

“Alright! It’s not good to stay in the basement all day like a night rat. If I follow you, I should at least do a few things that I can do to be worthy of the founder. Judging from your style, the colleagues at the branch are probably not much different. I will definitely do my best!” Mr. Meng solemnly stated.

They exchanged a smile, and a gentleman's agreement was reached. This kind of friendship-based contract is far more binding than a complicated formal contract!
……

Bian Mu developed a strong sense of gratitude from a young age, and now it has even become an innate habit.

In his opinion, Professor Mi deserves a great deal of credit for his smooth progress to where he is today!
The old lady is in trouble now, so Bian Mu naturally feels it's his responsibility to help her get rid of the troubles and solve her problems. He can't really help with anything important, but he's fairly confident that he can make her blurred vision and tinnitus symptoms basically disappear.

Early in the morning, after a quick and simple breakfast, Bian Mu drove to the central office that Professor Mi frequented.

"Oh! You're here really early! Professor Mi is still having breakfast at home right now! Please come in!" Assistant Li arrived even earlier and very politely ushered Bian Mu into the large office where Professor Mi usually spends the most time.

"Does Teacher Mi have a nanny?" Bian Mu asked casually.

"I hired two, just so they can communicate and switch shifts, not like they work at the same time. What's wrong?" As she spoke, Assistant Li poured Bian Mu a cup of eight-treasure tea.

"If it's convenient, give me a call and ask what Teacher Mi usually eats for breakfast these days, how much she can eat at her biggest meal, and how badly she can eat when she really has no appetite! What exactly does she eat, what foods does she particularly dislike, and what foods does she particularly like? Here, I mean her absolute favorite food, the only one!" Bian Mu explained with a serious expression.

"Okay! I'll call and ask right away." With that, Assistant Li went to make a phone call.

After a while, Assistant Li returned.

"Bread, eggs, sausages, fruit... simple meals, with almost no salt, mainly light. In the last few months, she has been drinking a lot more coffee. I haven't noticed anything else. By the way, Teacher Mi's appetite has decreased by about 30%, it feels like she's eating less and less..." Assistant Li patiently explained the general situation.

"Oh... that sounds alright! Let's wait and see!" With that, Bian Mu casually found a place to sit down.

"How's the newly opened branch doing lately?" Assistant Li asked with a smile.

"It's alright! The reputation is still so-so. We're still in the adjustment period between doctors and patients. I'm sorry! Your relative hasn't been of much help..." Bian Mu promptly filled in the "small debt" regarding interpersonal relationships.

A few days ago, Assistant Li intended to arrange for one of her female relatives to try and get some "straw" from Bian Mu, but Bian Mu hardened her heart and refused. When they met again afterward, Bian Mu was still somewhat uncomfortable.

"Hey! She was just joking! Don't take it seriously! I still need your help with a paper." With that, Assistant Li went out to get the manuscript.
