Merchant and doctor

Chapter 2526 Changing the Magnetic Field

Xiao Jianfeng's family, spanning three generations, almost all worked at the "Yuan Gu" Traditional Chinese Medicine Preparation Company. Xiao Xiaoqin simply couldn't squeeze in, so she took a temporary job at a roadside pharmacy. Otherwise, she would definitely have tried every means to find a stable position in the factory, get married peacefully, be a good wife and mother, and quietly wait for retirement to enjoy her old age.

The factory's performance was getting worse and worse, and it hadn't hired any permanent employees for several years. By a twist of fate, Xiao Xiaoqin became a pharmacist at the "New Concept" Traditional Chinese Medicine Pharmacy. Her major was a perfect match, and there was plenty of room for advancement. She also had all the benefits of social insurance and housing fund. Her monthly salary was more than twice that of her parents. Feeling fortunate, Xiao Xiaoqin worked very hard.

When Qi Ruilian found her, she didn't dare to delay at all, and Xiao Xiaoqin readily agreed to help.

Out of habit, Xiao Xiaoqin's attentiveness stemmed entirely from the inertia of life. After all, Qi Ruilian was a senior executive in the factory, and so many of her relatives and friends were currently making a living under her! Moreover, Director Qi's request was not excessive at all.

Besides, Xiao Xiaoqin is naturally intelligent and perceptive. Without asking any questions, she could guess from her woman's intuition that Director Qi's trip was probably not just about seeking medical treatment. At such a sensitive time, this sudden visit was most likely to have a deeper meaning.

If Xiao Xiaoqin could see things so clearly, then Bian Mu would naturally be even more so.

Registering for a doctor's appointment might just be a side trip; the real purpose of this trip is to explore potential romantic interests.

Seeing the two ladies' troubled expressions, Bian Mu smiled and explained a few words.

"More than 20 years ago, when I was still quite naive, a very popular movie called 'Cellphone' came out. It used the burgeoning mobile phone to reinterpret the emotional changes in marriage, family, and human nature brought about by new technologies. Looking back now, this movie is quite enlightening for us practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine. New things can constantly deconstruct our lives, and at the same time, they can also deconstruct the flow of Qi and blood, the transformation of Qi, the balance of Yin and Yang, the acid-base balance… The basic logic is this: new things emerge in droves, influencing us every morning from the moment we wake up. The impact is far beyond the single scope of smartphones. The amount of new and old information each of us receives in 24 hours has increased many times over. Information itself is a complex of various substances…" Nowadays, people no longer confine it simply to the realm of consciousness. A high volume of information surrounds us, often fragmented, but very little of it is truly useful or directly has a positive impact on our mind and body. However, most people lack the ability to integrate this information; as long as they respond and passively receive it, a strong magnetic field quickly forms. First, there's the strong physical magnetic field, like everyone watching short videos; second, there's the strong psychological magnetic field, which naturally intensifies with higher levels of education. Behind every strong magnetic field lies high energy, with each element interacting and influencing the others. If handled well, it could lead to overnight fame and fortune, directly creating urban cultural miracles! But what if the order is wrong?" At this point, Bian Mu stopped talking.

The two ladies exchanged glances, saying nothing but looking thoughtful and somewhat moved.

"Aren't you two not ordinary frontline employees? The amount of comprehensive information you're exposed to is incomparable to that of ordinary employees, and the magnetic field intensity has doubled. It's not hard to imagine the work energy your bodies and minds are bearing. However, your physical constitution, mental capacity, and self-coordination ability... in every aspect, have long been matched with these chaotic energy fields. Out of self-protective instinct, the instinctive reaction system accumulated over the years immediately performs corresponding frequency reduction processing, consciously and consciously forcing yourself to be as in sync as possible with the surrounding high energy fields. If a complete match is not possible, the body's self-protective system can only continue to adjust the cardiopulmonary function to a lower level, and the heart pulse..." Naturally, the activity of the lung meridian will gradually slow down, and the intensity of lung meridian activity will naturally decrease. As a result, all the systems inside the body will gradually adjust themselves. This is precisely your strength, but it also has its most fatal side. As the saying goes, you can succeed by self-regulation, but you will also fail by self-regulation! For now, it is best to isolate yourself from the high energy field for a period of time. Our school of thought calls this "changing the magnetic field." Those high-income people in the city often prefer to spend half a day in the surrounding suburban scenic spots, homestay areas, reservoirs, etc., which have a more leisurely cultural atmosphere. The purpose is only one: to change the magnetic field! Bian Mu explained very patiently.

“Oh… so that’s what they meant by changing the magnetic field… I really underestimated these young people before…” The tall woman muttered to herself. “Hehe… Young people these days are so smart! They accept new things so quickly! Compared to them, you two chose a different path, silently enduring and slowly digesting it. However, your own energy is a bit lagging behind, so your life rhythm automatically drops, you get tired easily, feel like you’re half-asleep, your mind becomes dull, your attention is scattered, your hands and feet keep getting cold, your back feels cold, and you get tired easily with just a little work. To use a mobile phone mode, you two have automatically entered a power-saving, energy-saving, growth-seeking simplified mode. If this continues, your heart meridian will gradually deteriorate like a high-quality engine, and eventually it will break down.” Bian Mu explained calmly.

"Then...isn't there a better compromise? For example, could I receive treatment at your facility while controlling my business volume?" the tall woman asked reluctantly.

“You two are already genuinely ill. If you continue to push yourselves, the pressure magnetic ring will form a misalignment zone, and then a completely new, fully closed pressure magnetic ring zone will be cut out along that misalignment zone. The two contradictory magnetic ring zones can only be nested together, wearing each other down and tearing each other apart. One day, it will suddenly break, leading to a sudden heart attack or stroke. If you are not rescued in time, you will die!” Without any politeness, Bian Mu laid out the direct consequences in their entirety.

Hearing this, the tall woman was immediately discouraged and remained silent for a long time.

“Well…we’ll try to get him transferred to another position later. How exactly should he be treated?” Qi Ruilian chimed in from the side.

"Try taking a few doses of herbal medicine first, and see if it can raise your stomach qi a little higher!" Bian Mu replied with a smile.

"Okay, thank you, Master!" Qi Ruilian quickly replied politely.

"Sure!" After saying that, Bian Mu tapped the keyboard for a while and prescribed seven doses of medicine for the tall woman. It was a small prescription with only five ingredients, with myrrh as the chief ingredient. He would try to regulate her body and see.

Afterwards, Bian Mu instructed the tall lady to get her medicine from the large pharmacy here, as the taboos and precautions were explained in more detail than elsewhere.

After exchanging a few polite words, Qi Ruilian accompanied her relative to the pharmacy to get a number. Since she knew someone there, Qi Ruilian gave Xiao Xiaoqin a few instructions and then went to find Nurse Sun on her own, leaving a small note for her.
