1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 394: The legal team is urgently needed to intervene

As we all know, Tugou is an energetic girl who can't sit still for a minute.

Therefore, when Yang Mo and Xiang Hui found her after get off work, she was in a small square not far from the half-built Commercial Second Street, which was also only half-built. She was excitedly talking to a group of people of all ages.

That’s right, in addition to the original large leisure and entertainment plaza, the commercial demonstration zone suddenly decided to expand the area by building four small satellite plazas.

There is no way. There is a shortage of leisure and entertainment venues these days. With the popularity of the commercial demonstration zone, in just less than two months, the leisure plaza of more than 10,000 square meters at the entrance of Commercial Street 1 has been completely overcrowded.

In order to avoid physical conflicts caused by crowded space and to attract continuous traffic, Yang Mo had no choice but to allocate a part of the initial income of the commercial street and build 4 small squares with an area ranging from 3000 to 7000 square meters outside the original plan to meet various needs.

However, generally speaking, in such occasions, there will be very obvious separation of circles based on age or gender. It is indeed very rare for people of all ages to gather together, regardless of gender, age or status, as we are seeing now.

………………

"Come on, come on. I have just taught you how to take a pulse... If you are interested, you can form a group of two and take someone else's pulse, or you can take your own pulse!"

Student Tugou rolled up his sleeves, raised his white and tender arms, and demonstrated again how to take a pulse.

"Manager Lu, this grandmother said she always felt something on her mouth, but I took her pulse as you said, and found that her pulse was beating more than 100 times, and it was very strong and hard to the touch, and she felt very energetic...Manager Lu, many people say that Chinese medicine is a scam. You taught us to take pulses, aren't you trying to help everyone break superstition?"

The speaker was a young man. Although his masculine instinct prevented him from showing any hostility towards such a beautiful girl, everyone could hear the teasing meaning in the last sentence.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of dissatisfaction and laughter from the crowd.

Those who expressed dissatisfaction were basically older people, while those who laughed were mostly young people.

As the country's doors opened and as Eastern learning became more and more popular, the Chinese people, who became increasingly less confident, naturally took the Western approach as the standard. Since television and magazines all said that Western medicine was advanced and Chinese medicine was nothing but a deceptive charade, these young people, who had no independent thinking ability, naturally believed it.

Facing the laughter of his peers, Tugou did not feel upset. He just smiled and walked to the old lady who was in the group with the young people. He bent down to feel her pulse and asked softly, "Grandma, you should be sixty this year, right?"

The old lady was overjoyed, showing off several of her missing teeth: "This girl is so sweet... How can she only be sixty? I am already seventy-eight!"

Tugou laughed, and after complimenting the grandmother on her health regimen, he straightened up and looked around at everyone: "This is a grandmother who is nearly 80 years old. According to clinical experience, if she is a healthy elderly person, the heart of an 80-year-old will beat slower than a normal person as they age, usually closer to 70 or below, and usually not as strong as young people;"

"But this young comrade just took the pulse correctly. This grandmother's pulse is indeed over 100, and it feels very hard, which means that the pulse is strong... This is completely opposite to the situation we analyzed before;"

"So, 100 heartbeats plus a strong pulse, what does that mean?"

“Does this mean that 80-year-olds have better health and heart than younger people?”

"This is obviously impossible."

Having said that, Tugou paused, then looked around at everyone with a smile.

Since it is impossible, doesn’t it just prove that taking the pulse is bullshit, and that traditional Chinese medicine that has been passed down for thousands of years is all just a charade!
Some young people think so.

However, unlike those common cadres, Tugou's smile was not aggressive at all, nor did she look condescending. She smiled like an ordinary friend. Therefore, some young people who did not believe in Chinese medicine from the bottom of their hearts swallowed the sneer that they wanted to blurt out, and just looked at her quietly, wanting to hear what she would say next.

Seeing that no one jumped out to make trouble, Tugou sighed with some regret, then shrugged his shoulders: "Even if you have good health preservation, it is obviously unscientific for an old man who is nearly 80 years old to be in better health than a young person."

"So, there is only one explanation... This old lady is very likely to have internal heat in her body. And such a strong pulse is telling us that the pressure in her blood vessels is increasing... In Western medicine terms, this old lady is very likely to have high blood pressure."

"Since the initial pulse condition tells us that the old lady has internal heat, which is also known as high blood pressure, then if it is a Western doctor, then it is likely that they will further determine whether it is primary hypertension or secondary hypertension, and then prescribe you a lot of antihypertensive drugs such as dihydrotestosterone tablets... If it is a well-equipped hospital and you are not short of money, they will also give you an MRI and a full-body examination to see if you have other complications."

"But Chinese medicine is different. It is a discipline rooted in the people and has thousands of years of accumulated experience. The 5,000-year history of suffering of the Chinese people has determined that Chinese medicine must help patients find various lesions in their bodies as much as possible at the lowest cost. "

"Therefore, as the first step in the three-dimensional diagnosis, pulse diagnosis is a complex and dialectical process. For the same pulse condition, our Chinese medicine practitioners, without the support of advanced instruments, need to think about more issues."

"So, after finding out from the pulse that the old lady might have internal heat, our Chinese medicine practitioners need to judge one question... Is this heat real or false?"

"After all, there is a huge difference between true heat and false heat in traditional Chinese medicine. If it's false heat, it's very likely high blood pressure, but if it's true heat... that's the so-called inflammation or endocrine disorder that causes a temporary increase in blood pressure, and you let an old lady spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on an MRI and buy a bunch of imported drugs that may not be needed, it's really unfair."

Everyone laughed when they heard this. Western medicine in China these days was not that reliable. Advanced foreign equipment such as CT and MRI had only just appeared in second- and third-tier cities. Therefore, some oolong incidents that sounded fantastic in later generations were also happening frequently at the moment.

Tugou also laughed for a while, and his tone suddenly became confident: "Just now, this young comrade took the pulse very carefully, and also mentioned a very important detail that most people would not pay attention to... This old lady's pulse is too hard!"

"Such a hard pulse tells us that this old lady's blood vessels lack elasticity, which is undoubtedly a false fever... This is very scientific for an old lady who is nearly 80 years old."

"The pulses in both hands are strong, and the strength is greatest in the upper part. Chinese medicine calls this 'Strong string strength'... To explain it using the theory of Western medicine that everyone is more willing to listen to, this is because the pressure brought by the blood compresses the blood vessels, thus maximizing the blood pressure at the top."

"So, it can basically be determined that the old lady does have high blood pressure."

“But is this the end of the diagnosis?”

"No, no, no. The wisdom accumulated by our ancestors over thousands of years is not that simple. A responsible practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine needs to think about more issues."

"It's a very simple question... Just like what I said just now, have you ever thought about this question? Since this central channel image shows that the blood at the top of the human body reaches its maximum at night, then what does this "top" refer to?... This old lady is sitting, so where is the top of her body where the blood flows through?"

Perhaps it was because Tugou's attempt to explain Chinese medicine with Western medicine was easy for ordinary people to understand, and those young people who were already listening with fascination almost thought without thinking: "Brain!?"

Tugou nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, it is the brain... To be precise, it is the capillaries in the brain."

At this point, Tugou leaned over and asked softly, "Grandma, do you sometimes have a headache?"

It seems that all the older generations who experienced the period of the founding of the People's Republic of China do not have much fear of death. Even when she heard that there might be something wrong with her brain, the old lady still looked at the pretty girl in front of her with a smile: "It doesn't hurt that much, but sometimes there is a buzzing sound in my head at night, as if someone is talking to me."

Upon hearing this, Tugou heaved a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face became a little more relaxed: "Compared to what everyone else guessed, this old lady has had a cerebral infarction, but it's not bad. Judging from the pulse, since both pulses are strong and stringy, the grandma's symptoms are not serious... In other words, the grandma is suffering from a mild cerebral infarction, which has not yet occurred. As long as she is treated quickly, it should still be in time."

As he spoke, Tugou squatted down and gently held grandma's right hand: "Grandma, I'll have someone send you to the hospital for a checkup, okay... Don't worry, it's very cheap to go to the drilling company's employee hospital for a checkup. Your condition shouldn't be serious, and conservative treatment will be fine. It's not expensive."

As he spoke, he leaned forward and looked around, obviously intending to call someone.

Thanks to the publicity efforts of those who bravely performed heroic deeds on the pier, after the media was alerted, the Drilling Company Employees Hospital has, in the past six months, transformed from a deserted internal hospital into a popular semi-open public hospital in Texas with its low fees and technical strength (in some departments) that is not inferior to that of first-class domestic hospitals. Therefore, as long as you hear the words "Drilling Company Employees Hospital", you will not feel uneasy.

But it is a staff hospital after all. Although the drilling company, for the sake of its image, has never discriminated against patients who come to seek medical treatment, and all charges are based on the standards for internal employees, a pitiful fee that cannot even cover the cost, but the hospital is so small that its capacity to accommodate patients is really limited. Therefore, it is not easy to get a number.

However, this was not a difficult thing for Tugou. Even if we put aside the relationship with Yang Mo, she and the doctors and nurses in the staff hospital were comrades-in-arms who had fought side by side. In addition, the staff hospital had always been involved in the export projects of independent brand Chinese patent medicines, the GAP medicinal materials projects, and even the grassroots chain drugstore projects that were being prepared. Therefore, it was a trivial matter to ask them to work overtime at night without violating the regulations... Besides, there were many people who were very willing to do her a favor.

Seeing Tugou's state, the old lady smiled and held her hand: "My girl, there's no need. I went to the hospital for a check-up yesterday... You young people are really capable. You can tell from taking my pulse that I have a cerebral infarction."

As she spoke, the old lady took out a piece of paper from her pocket and glanced at the rows of test results that she couldn't understand at all. "The doctor at the Second Hospital also said that I had a mild cerebral infarction and needed urgent treatment. He also insisted on giving my son a lot of Western medicine... I was afraid of being cheated, so I refused to let my son pay."

"That's good, my daughter. Now that I heard what you said, it turns out that the doctor at the Second Hospital didn't lie to me... Tsk tsk, the skills left by our ancestors are more reliable. Just by putting a few fingers together, they can see all the problems... I was saying that my son is stupid. It's not like our ancestors didn't leave us any good things. Why did he have to spend so much money and let those foreign doctors torment him for half an afternoon? It's more than a hundred yuan, but it's not a small amount."

This situation was actually very common at the county level in the 1970s and 1980s, and even in the 1990s. Even with high technology, the older generation was still relatively resistant to new things. Therefore, young people certainly do not believe in traditional Chinese medicine, but the older generation also does not believe in those foreign things.

So nowadays, unless the illness is very serious, parents will take their young people to see a Chinese doctor, but the young people will quietly throw the medicine prescribed by the doctor into the trash; there are many cases where young people take their parents to a Western hospital to see a doctor, but the parents refuse to let their children spend money on their medical treatment; it can be called a magical drama.

Apparently, this is also the case with this old lady.

I guess in her mind, expensive Western medicine is all a scam, so even if the test results came out, she refused to let her son pay for the medicine, and refused to carry out conservative treatment;

It was not until she discovered that Tugou's diagnosis was exactly the same as the examination report that she believed that the doctor at the Western hospital had not fooled her... After all, the older generation still believes more in their ancestors' things.

Seeing the old lady take out the diagnosis report from the Second Hospital, the young people who couldn't hold back their curiosity leaned over to take a look and couldn't help but take a breath. The beliefs in many people's hearts were finally shaken.

As a new generation that welcomes reform and opening up, the idea that "Western technology is advanced, and what China has left is dregs" has almost been rooted in their hearts over the past eleven years.

This is also the main reason why they feel annoyed when they hear the word "traditional Chinese medicine". If the one who shared the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine today was not a very beautiful girl, they would not bother to sit on the small stool and listen to those mysterious things with a group of old men and women.

However, to their surprise, when this beautiful girl shared her knowledge of Chinese medicine, she did not use jargon like "five elements, yin and yang", but instead used Western medical theories that they were familiar with to explain some Chinese medicine knowledge in an easy-to-understand way. This not only made them listen attentively, but also gradually melted away some of their resistance to Chinese medicine.

But when the old lady took out the examination report which was exactly the same as the girl's diagnosis, they were really shocked.

Just putting a few fingers on your wrist for a while is equivalent to an entire afternoon of examination with those advanced instruments?

Is it so magical! ?

This is just taking the pulse. Chinese medicine emphasizes observation, auscultation, inquiry and palpation. If these four procedures are completed, wouldn't it be a walking advanced instrument? And as we all know, the older the Chinese medicine doctor is, the more powerful he is. This is just a young girl. If the doctor was a white-bearded old man, wouldn't it be amazing?

This, this, this...

Could it be that traditional Chinese medicine is not just a quackery, but real science, and may even be better than Western medicine?

They had thought about whether it was possible that the girl was teaming up with the old lady to act together.

But the problem is that classmate Tugou is very famous in the commercial demonstration area. Everyone knows that she is the quality control manager of Qingfeng Foods and she also holds a number of positions in many subordinate units of Dahua. Given her status and position, it is impossible for her to do such a dishonorable thing... The drilling company, Qingfeng Foods, any one of these units is a well-known presence in the Dezhou area, and their reputation is very good, so good that if you doubt them, you will even be sprayed by passers-by.

Besides, when practicing pulse diagnosis, people can form teams freely, and the young man who raised doubts at the beginning obviously had prejudices against Chinese medicine. Although the old lady was nearly eighty years old, her temperament and other aspects did not seem like the kind of person who would sell her moral integrity for money, and she would not form a team to fool him.

and so……

Could it be that the content in those magazines is incorrect and my views on traditional Chinese medicine are biased?

After a period of confusion, many young people felt empty inside, but they listened more seriously to the popular science content that followed...

………………

Twenty minutes later.

After kindly persuading the group of middle-aged and elderly people, including the old lady, who had asked her to prescribe medicine to them to leave, Tugou sighed with some regret but also with satisfaction.

It's not that she doesn't want to prescribe medicine for these people, but she herself is just a half-baked person. She may have no problem doing the most basic popular science of Chinese medicine, but to prescribe the right medicine for people...how could she have such ability!
Besides, to be fair, traditional Chinese medicine does have advantages in treating some diseases, but for other diseases, it is better to see a Western doctor.

Besides, GAP medicinal materials have not yet entered major pharmacies, and the exact proportion of authentic medicinal materials in pharmacies is still unknown. The grassroots chain drugstore project with controlled drug sources is still in the preparation stage. Before that, she really doesn't want to do something bad with good intentions... When it comes to medicine, the slightest mistake can lead to a huge mistake, so you must not be careless.

Taking out a handkerchief from his trouser pocket and wiping the sweat from his forehead, Tugou walked up to Yang Mo.

"Great!"

Yang Mo and Xiang Hui gave thumbs up to Tugou without hesitation.

They certainly see the value of Tugou's teaching of introductory knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine in crowded places like commercial demonstration areas... Even though television media is developing rapidly, in highly sensitive industries like medicine, word-of-mouth communication is still the most valuable channel.

"Hehe, yeah, I think it's amazing too... I must be a genius to be able to use Western medical knowledge to explain Chinese medicine!"

Classmate Tugou raised his head proudly, without any humility.

In the past few days, Xiang Hui, the secretary who was transferred here, has not only demonstrated extraordinary abilities in the process of connecting various resources, but also let everyone see what it means to have a level of interpersonal skills trained in the administrative system. Therefore, Tugou, who often works with Xiang Hui, has a very good impression of this secretary and is not reluctant to show his true colors during non-working hours.

As for the sheep dung eggs...

Come on, we've been friends for more than ten years, is there any need to put on airs in front of this guy?
"Why did you two come here suddenly?"

Classmate Tugou snatched the bottle of Mohua brand Eight Treasure Tea, which had just begun to be urgently produced in large quantities and gradually distributed on the market, from Yang Mo's hands, then frowned and bared his teeth.

What's so good about this thing? Why do so many men buy it as soon as it's sold in the market?
Yang Mo and Xiang Hui looked at each other and laughed: "I came to you today to discuss something with you."

"Discuss something with me...what is it?"

Classmate Tugou looked at Yang Mo in surprise, but then she didn't take it seriously. She knew this bastard's character. Normally, Yang Shitan would never talk about work after work.

Even if there is something to discuss, given his cautious personality, he would definitely do it in a relatively private setting.

It was already time to get off work, and they were in a public place like a small square, with Xiang Hui by their side, so what they wanted to say must not be something important.

Yang Mo snatched back the bottle of iced Eight Treasure Tea in a stingy manner, and then took a sip without caring that Tugou had drunk it before.

hiss~
After moaning due to the remaining coldness, Yang Mo wiped his mouth with satisfaction: "I decided to let the Legal and Compliance Department intervene in the current projects. In addition to providing the necessary legal support for these projects, I also asked them to help with planning and fill in the loopholes in each project... In other words, the Legal and Compliance Department will be our future strategic partner. Tomorrow I will take you to meet their Minister Zhuo. In the future, in addition to being close to the secretary, you should also get closer to Minister Zhuo."

"What!!??"

Classmate Tugou jumped up suddenly, his face full of disbelief.

Wasn’t that woman surnamed Zhuo against you? How come she suddenly became your strategic partner?

You know, the words "strategic partner" have different meanings and weights when spoken by different people.

If this word was said by an ordinary person, or even by her, Yan Laoxi, or even Qin Xin, it would actually be nothing more than a polite remark to flatter others, and at most it would make others feel that the two sides are closer;
But when this word comes out of the mouth of Yang Mo, the helmsman, it is completely different. It is equivalent to giving the other party an official identity.

What does a true strategic partner mean?
This means that unless it is core sensitive secrets, your strategic plan, implementation steps, tactical ideas, and even the actual financial situation of some projects can be shared with others.

Besides, comparing Zhuo Mali and Xiang Hui... do you know what this means?

"Hey, hey, hey, Yang Shidan, I know that during this period of time, there have indeed been many small obstacles in the implementation of our projects that we did not expect at the beginning, including GAP planting, the construction of factories in the villages for various projects, and even the negotiations and cooperation with various external units. There are some minor troubles that are not serious in nature, but are quite tricky;"

"Based on the actual situation, we do need to recruit some professional legal talents to solve these minor troubles through legal means without resorting to violence..."

"But the problem is, although we lack professional legal support, this does not mean that we need to have this level of cooperation with the Legal and Compliance Department... You have to understand that the Legal and Compliance Department and you have had conflicts in the past. What do you think of letting them intervene in the core planning of our projects?"

Yang Mo once said that a sound large-scale project cannot do without legal support. This support will be carried out throughout the entire project, from project planning to implementation, and then to the subsequent handling of emergencies, which requires the full participation of the legal team... Some things are like the red button in a briefcase, and they should be avoided as much as possible. Therefore, the value of the legal team that is widely used in conventional battlefields is highlighted.

But the problem is, in the current environment, whether it is the drilling company or Dahua, the need for a legal team is not urgent. When a fig leaf is needed, they can just hire a few people from society or universities to deal with the emergency. Is it necessary to let them intervene in the core work?
What's more, that old woman surnamed Zhuo is not on the same side as you. She even made things very difficult for the third business department of the Drilling Department before. You let her get involved in the core circle. I'm afraid you are asking for trouble!
Yang Mo smiled upon hearing this: "No, you are wrong. We really need the intervention of a professional legal team... to intervene in every aspect of our project."

"Not to mention that Minister Zhuo personally visited me yesterday and showed me goodwill; even if it wasn't for... the legal team's issue, we have to resolve it in the short term."

Tugou was a little confused: "Why do we suddenly need to set up a legal team?"

Yang Mo smiled and gave Xiang Hui a look.

Xiang Hui sighed when he saw this: "Because Director Song has returned from the imperial capital this morning, and Minister Zhuo is Director Zhuo's daughter, General Manager Yang and the Dongying Command's plans for light and heavy industrial products have also been formally discussed at the meeting today."

Student Tugou was stunned, not understanding the relationship between these things.

Seeing this, Xiang Hui explained in a low voice: "Although Director Song's main purpose of going to the imperial capital this time is to strive for the sponsorship rights of the Asian Games torch relay, he is also responsible for the task of striving for Dezhou to become a torch relay city... Of course, there are some other small tasks."

"Even if there were some problems before, we took the initiative to seek sponsorship for the Asian Games torch relay to win glory for the country, but it is not an easy thing to temporarily add Texas to the list of torch relay cities... The higher-ups need to send people down to inspect and evaluate."

"Similarly, the light and heavy industrial products exchange plan proposed by General Manager Yang involves not only Dahua Company, Dongying Command and Dezhou competent authorities, but also other superior units... They will also come to inspect it."

“Therefore, during this period, the overall performance of the Texas region and the locations of various Texas projects is very important.”

"In Mr. Yang's words, although we don't know when the inspection will start, and whether it will be a direct group inspection or a private inspection, we must prepare the data and details of each link, and show the working method and overall style during this period... Only in this way can we get high scores and get the support and other things we want as we wish."

"In this process, the involvement of the legal team, the legal approach to work and the details of the work are very important, so... do you understand?"

A rule of law approach to work?
Student Tugou was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately.

The 1980s and 1990s were a period of wild growth, and various units were accustomed to rough and even somewhat overreaching ways of working. Therefore, if you do the opposite and show the work details under the rule of law, it is indeed a method that is easy for ordinary people to overlook, but it is easy to get high scores.

only……

This Asian Games is certainly attracting much attention, but is the qualification of a torch relay city really that important to Yang Mo?

Or……

What kind of hidden plot is this bastard harboring in his mind?

snort!
Pretending to be mysterious!

Looking at Yang Mo's face full of mystery with some toothache, Tugou classmate curled his lips in disdain: "Well... OK, let's make it clear first, when that woman surnamed Zhuo gets upset and cries, don't blame me!"
