Merchant and doctor

Chapter 2245 New Drugs, New Energy

The "fireless boiling" method was truly effective in preparing special medicine for Accountant Yu, achieving twice the result with half the effort.

As soon as he got off work, Bian Mu would hide in a small laboratory on the third floor of the clinic to refine various medicinal essences. Occasionally, when he felt powerless, Bian Mu would design several corresponding auxiliary medicine cauldrons, draw up the sketches, and personally deliver them to the "Flower Field Ghost Market." He would pay a high price and entrust Grandpa Yang to find skilled craftsmen to add several auxiliary medicine cauldrons of different materials and sizes. Bian Mu was busy all day long.

Unconsciously, the learning process of Gu Yuefeng's team gradually slowed down.

That noon, Bian Mu had just finished get off work and changed into an older white coat. He was about to go up to the third floor to continue preparing new medicine when Dr. Gong walked in from outside.

"I'm relatively free on my end lately, do you need any help?"

"You've had a long day. Never mind, try to get some sunshine out with Accountant Yu these days. The medicine I'm preparing for her is almost done. Don't tell her the whole story yet. After it's done, I still need to send it to the relevant departments for further evaluation and review!" Bian Mu replied with a smile.

"Great! It seems that after taking that medicine, she might actually be able to stand up again?"

"It's not realistic to get there in one step, but with a small crutch, I should be able to walk thirty or fifty meters along the wall? I can't say for sure right now..." Bian Mu never made grand pronouncements, so he gave a realistic estimate.

"That's great! Seeing how hard you've been working, and how we haven't been able to help much, well... let's help Accountant Yu with some auxiliary training! For example, upper arm strength training or something, so that she'll have enough strength to support herself!" Dr. Gong said with a smile.

“Alright! But… didn’t you notice? She’s already started training in private. With your help, the results will only be better. Since we’re on this topic, let me say a few more words. If this really works, none of you, including the Yu family father and daughter, should tell anyone. In public, it’s best to continue using your wheelchairs.”

Upon hearing this, Dr. Gong couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes and look at her boss in surprise.

"Why is that?! Isn't this the best advertisement?"

“Recently, things have been a bit delicate in our circle. If this gets out, the line outside the clinic will stretch all the way to Zhonglou Street! Right? The bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow against it, which won't do the clinic any good. Besides, refining medicinal essence in a cauldron is extremely laborious, and the medicinal materials used are all very expensive. It doesn't have the broad-spectrum effect of sprinkling pepper, so it's impossible to promote it widely. In the end, I will have to politely decline. Before long, word will spread that our clinic is bullying its customers, which is just asking for trouble.” Bian Mu explained with a smile.

"I understand. Drug research is really difficult. It's only because of you that you're capable. If it were someone else..." Before he could finish speaking, Dr. Gong saw Liao Jinsheng walk in from outside the door.

Immediately shut up, Dr. Gong politely declined Liao Jinsheng's offer and went elsewhere to prepare tea and snacks for Dr. Liao.

"It's been a while. How's the hospital doing lately?" Bian Mu said as he accompanied Liao Jinsheng out the door toward the waiting area.

They enjoyed the good tea and chatted for a while.

"There's no other way! We've been meeting and negotiating with relevant people in Beiqi and Nanjin for several months, so we're going to reorganize!" Liao Jinsheng replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Bian Mu frowned slightly. Well! Senior Brother Liao has come to act as a mediator.

Judging from his words and expressions, Liao Jinsheng naturally guessed what was going on.

"Don't get me wrong! We have enough manpower. It's like a joint venture in three locations, and the overall scale is even larger than before. The number of key medical projects has almost doubled. President Qian is about to become the new dean. You'll have to come and have a celebratory drink when he does!"

Hearing this, Bian Mu immediately felt much more relaxed.

"That's right, that's right! Where's Vice Dean Cui?"

"He'll stay in his original position! And you know what? He really put in a lot of effort to get many things done in Beiqi, and the board of directors has praised him highly!"

"Really?" Bian Mu replied absentmindedly. To be honest, he was a little surprised by Liao Jinsheng's answer.

In Bian Mu's view, wherever Vice President Cui is, that hospital is bound to be in bad shape.

"I came here today on someone's behalf. They really went to great lengths, going through all sorts of twists and turns to find my mom. I can't disobey my mother's orders! Since I don't have too much to do today, I wanted to get some fresh air, eat, and chat."

"Let's go!" Bian Mu said, treating Liao Jinsheng to a nice meal at "Yu's Private Kitchen".

The pretty female chef was on duty and all three of her stalls were still empty. When she saw Bian Mu bringing her friends in from afar, she quickly ran over and invited the two of them to sit down at her stall.

They were all acquaintances, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, the pretty female chef called over the master chef and his fellow apprentices to start preparing the dishes and serving the meal...

"There's this matter. Director Fang, did you say something too much? It's making her unable to eat or sleep properly. What's the deal with that battery... energy ring and all that?! I heard she's like a madwoman, going around asking people which is the real thing and which is the metaphor, she's obsessed... You don't know, back in school, she was known for being incredibly meticulous! Otherwise, she wouldn't have risen to her current position. Objectively speaking, she's really hardworking academically. Your words really provoked her... Is it convenient to talk about it? So I can have an explanation for my mother later."

"Look at what you're saying, but... with her knowledge, she shouldn't have gotten herself into such a mess, right?! It seems she should spend some time on the front lines of a hospital. Here's the thing... there are many battery manufacturers on the market that have copied the big brands! They've added a so-called energy-concentrating ring to the end of the battery, claiming it can lock in the energy and make the battery last longer. Our traditional Chinese medicine industry has had similar practices since ancient times. She's already in that position, she shouldn't be completely unaware of this, right?!" Bian Mu said with a smile.

"That's the logic, and even I could make some guesses if I were in her shoes. But if she's a professional in academic research, she can't just use colloquial language to fool her colleagues, right? In her anxiety, she went to my parents..."

"Actually, it's quite simple. The medicine cauldron is an energy-gathering device. It started more than 10,000 years ago, and the development of medicine over thousands of years has always relied on it. It was only later interrupted due to special historical reasons. The workshops of all pharmaceutical companies are actually large cauldrons with energy-gathering properties. However, there are many gaps in the middle, and people can no longer properly reconnect them. These days, I have acquired two genuine heirloom medicine cauldrons and, using the basic pharmacology of energy gathering, have already extracted 11 kinds of medicinal essences. To put it boldly, it won't be long before I can help a patient stand up again. Energy gathering is the key to this kind of treatment, and the little battery analogy comes from this." Bian Mu explained with a smile.

Liao Jinsheng looked bewildered, having not understood much of what he was saying.
