Chapter 1183 The Holy Hand of Chinese Medicine
The current period can be said to be the most difficult time for Zhao Hui. Whether it is his daughter Zhao Rui's eye disease or the setbacks in his career, nothing has happened recently that makes him worry-free.

Of course, after his teacher Dai Xing passed away in a car accident, Zhao Hui had actually anticipated today's situation. It would be impossible to say that Dai Xing's affairs had no impact on him. After all, he and Dai Xing had a master-disciple relationship that was passed down from generation to generation.

But Zhao Hui also understood that the problem lay more with himself. After all, he could not stand the kind of collusion with corruption, although this was a normal phenomenon in the banking system.

Zhao Rui suddenly became particularly interested in Su Ning, whom she had only just met. The main reason was that Su Ning made her feel very comfortable. "Dad, what was the name of your colleague just now?"

Zhao Hui, who was lost in thought, didn't realize anything. "What's going on? Ruirui, why are you so curious about Suning?"

"Suning? What a nice name."

"Uh?"

Zhao Hui naturally didn't understand that his daughter Hongluan was moved. Instead, it reminded Zhao Hui that he could make use of Su Ning. After all, Tao Wuji, whom he relied on now, was somewhat useless.

At this time, Su Ning, who had just bought breakfast, also talked about this with Su Jianren, "Uncle Ren, I just saw Zhao Xing downstairs."

"Oh? Is he here to see me in the hospital? Why didn't you bring him here?" However, Su Jianren was self-righteously surprised, thinking that Zhao Hui came to the hospital specifically to visit him.

"Huh? Uncle Ren, Zhao Xing brought his daughter to see the doctor. He didn't know that you were hospitalized for gastric perforation."

"His daughter? I know her eye disease is very serious. I heard that the surgery alone would cost two million yuan."

Then Su Ning casually asked about the doubts he had been having. Government agencies and public institutions should all have such benefits. "Two million is okay, right? I can apply for a loan directly from the head office. This shouldn't be a big problem for Zhao Xing, right?"

"Humph! It's two million dollars! With Zhao Xing's utterly shameless behavior, the only way for him to raise the money now is to sell his house."

"I actually feel that if I can raise money for treatment by selling the house, it's always better than making some unnecessary compromises."

"Naive! His daughter's illness isn't the most serious problem. Rather, it's the fact that his upward mobility is blocked. If he continues to be so self-absorbed, he will only regret it for the rest of his life."

"..." In fact, Su Ning also agreed with Su Jianren's analysis. After all, Zhao Rui's illness was indeed just a triggering factor. The last straw that broke Zhao Hui's back was the injustice of the head office. "Uncle Ren, Cheng Jiayuan's mother will come to the hospital to take care of you later. I can go home and have a good sleep."

"Ah? Why let her come? I feel annoyed when I see her." When Su Jianren thought of his ex-wife, who had no feelings for him, he complained with disgust on his face.

"Then what should we do? Grandpa is old and can't even take care of himself. Jiayuan still has to go to work at the bank. Besides, with your strained relationship, he can't possibly take care of you. As for my aunts..."

At this moment, Su Jianren also realized that he was indeed a failure. "Hey! Suning, I suddenly realized that I am such a failure. At this point today, I have nothing."

"Uncle Ren, I heard that my uncle really wants you to remarry Jiayuan's mother. Would you like to consider it carefully?"

"Remarry? Absolutely impossible! Besides, I already have Zhou Lin in my heart."

"Uncle Ren, Zhou Lin is the woman who looks so much like Li Ying, right?"

"What? Suning, is there something you don't know?"

"Uncle Ren, listen to my advice. Zhou Lin is the trap Xie Zhiyuan set for Zhao Xing. You don't have to rush into it, right?"

"What? You think I'm not as good as Zhao Hui? Not even qualified to withstand the honey trap?"

"Uncle Ren, if you were that beautiful Zhou Lin, and you were compared to Zhao Hui, who are so obviously different from each other, who would you prefer?"

"I……"

"It's obvious that Xie Zhiyuan won't stop until he drags Zhao Xing into this trap. Uncle Ren, do you think Zhao Xing can withstand this honey trap?"

"But...but Zhou Lin and I are also very close, right?"

"Wake up! The current situation is just that Zhao Xing is too lazy to pay attention to Xie Zhiyuan, so Xie Zhiyuan has to settle for the second best and let Zhou Lin flirt with you. If you really think that this flirtation is love, you are completely wrong."

"..."

"Uncle Ren, the most important thing for a man is never romance, but his career and future. If you and Zhao Xing switched places now, it would be you, Uncle Ren, that Zhou Lin would throw herself at."

"Huh? Suning, do you think Zhou Lin would be more interested in me if I replaced Zhao Hui?"

"..."

"Oh!" Seeing Su Ning looking at him as if he were a fool, Su Jianren sighed with sadness on his face.

Fortunately, Cheng Jiayuan's mother soon appeared in the hospital with an expressionless face, and Su Ning no longer had to chat with this love saint here.

He has already done a lot for Su Jianren. If he were to foolishly get involved in the fight between Zhao Hui and Li Sen as in the original drama and end up becoming cannon fodder, Su Ning would no longer be willing to care about it.

……

At this time, Hu Yue had naturally gone to work at the bank. He had just taken three days of rare leave, so he simply ran back to his rented place to have a good sleep.

Just as Suning had washed up and changed into clean pajamas, he suddenly received a call from Zhao Hui, the bank boss. "Hello! Zhao Xing, is there something you need from me?"

"Suning, are you still in the hospital?"

"No! President Su's family came to the hospital. I just got home."

"Oh? Then where do you live? I'll come find you now."

"My home is west of our bank..."

Su Ning didn't know what Zhao Hui wanted to talk to him about, but he quickly changed into clean casual clothes. It was inappropriate to meet the leader in pajamas no matter what.

Then Suning went downstairs to greet Zhao Hui at the entrance of the alley. Sure enough, not long after he went downstairs, he saw Zhao Hui's car. Naturally, he personally found a temporary parking space for Zhao Hui. If he hadn't greeted the neighbors nearby in advance, it might not have been so easy to park.

Su Ning greeted Zhao Hui who got out of the car with a smile on his face, "Zhao Xing, I didn't expect you to come so soon."

At this moment, Zhao Hui also looked at Su Ning in surprise, "I didn't expect you to live so close to the bank."

"My dad spent a fortune to get me a job at Shenzhen Mao Bank. The rent alone is quite a bit."

"No wonder! Parents who love their children will always plan for their future."

"Zhao Xing, I live in the attic of this building."

Then Zhao Hui followed Suning carefully to the attic. The creaking sound of the wooden stairs was indeed very strange, but it was nothing to Zhao Hui, who also came from a poor background.

Zhao Xing first looked around at Suning's small attic and commented, "Not bad! Much better than the one I lived in when I first came to Shanghai."

At this moment, Su Ning looked at Zhao Hui and explained with a double meaning, "It's really good! My dad paid for my rent for three months. If I want to renew the lease, I will have to pay for it myself."

"Well, you are a young talent of our Shenzhen Mao Bank. You will have many opportunities to make money in the future."

"Zhao Xing, please sit down! I'll pour you some coffee."

"Stop busying yourself! I just came to ask you something."

"Zhao Xing, you ask." Suning did not stop pouring coffee, and the proper etiquette had to be observed.

Then he took a sip of the black coffee handed to him by Suning, but he suppressed his inner surprise and asked, "Have you heard about Tao Wuji's incident?" "I heard a little about it. It can be considered a work-related injury."

Then Zhao Hui continued to ask you questions, "Ha! If it were you, what would you do?"

"If it were me, I would just find evidence of fraud. What happens next is too sensitive, and it's not something a small person like me can handle."

Sure enough, Suning's answer made Zhao Hui feel a little disappointed. "So you are so good at protecting yourself?"

"Zhao Xing, even if we find out something, we won't pursue the matter further. This is the unspoken rule of our entire banking system."

“Is it right to follow conventions?”

"That's not right! But changing these problems is not something we small-time people should consider. This is something that senior leaders should think about."

"Ah! You're right."

Then, Su Ning suddenly thought of how Zhao Hui had been forced, so he decided to try to change Zhao Hui's predicament. "Zhao Xing, I bumped into Zhao Rui at the hospital today. It seems like there's something wrong with her eyes?"

Zhao Hui looked at Su Ning in surprise at first, then he sighed and explained, "Yes! His condition is very serious! He needs to go abroad for surgery as soon as possible. I went to the hospital today to consult the doctor about the surgery."

"Has Zhao Xing ever considered Traditional Chinese Medicine?"

"What? Traditional Chinese Medicine?"

"Yes! Zhao Xing, actually, my interests have always been a bit scattered, so I have always been interested in Traditional Chinese Medicine. This morning I discovered that Zhao Rui's eye disease is very consistent with a prescription."

"Is this true? My family knows nothing about Chinese medicine."

"Zhao Xing, I'll write out this prescription for you first. Go to a regular pharmacy and get the medicine according to the prescription. If Zhao Rui sees any effect after taking it, then we can discuss the next treatment plan."

"What are the next treatment plans?"

"Yes! The prescription is only to alleviate Zhao Rui's symptoms. To completely eradicate the eye disease, acupuncture is needed, so let's see if the prescription works on her first."

"Okay! Suning, I'll trouble you then."

Then, Suning wrote down a prescription for treating eye diseases in front of Zhao Hui. His beautiful hard pen calligraphy surprised Zhao Hui. Looking at the calm and steady Suning in front of him, Zhao Hui suddenly felt a little expectant.

The two chatted casually for a while, and then Zhao Hui left Suning's humble abode with the prescription and couldn't wait to go to Tong Ren Tang to get the medicine.

Zhao Hui handed the prescription directly to the doctor in front of him and asked, "Doctor, what do you think of my prescription?"

However, the doctor was extremely surprised and gave his evaluation. He then looked up at Zhao Hui and asked, "Very good! I wonder which master of traditional Chinese medicine prescribed this for you? The combination of ingredients is reasonable, and the medicinal properties complement each other. It is definitely an excellent prescription for treating eye diseases."

"Then could you please prescribe the medicine for me according to the prescription and boil it for me? I'll just prescribe enough for a full course of treatment."

"Okay! Please come over here and pay."

With a "ding" sound, after Zhao Hui scanned the code to pay, his expectations became higher and higher, and he realized that he had indeed neglected traditional Chinese medicine treatment.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Hui became even more curious about Suning. He suddenly felt that this young man was becoming more and more mysterious, and he felt that he was as deep and vast as an abyss.

After the doctor at Tong Ren Tang prepared a course of Chinese medicine, Zhao Hui rushed back home. "Rui Rui, Dad met a great Chinese medicine expert today. He said these herbs can cure your eye disease."

"Is this true? Didn't Daddy let you down by being a scammer?" However, Zhao Rui looked at the Chinese medicine with a face full of doubt.

"How could that be! Am I, your father, such a fool?"

"Dad, do you really want to drink?"

"Ruirui, you don't want to go abroad for surgery and get scars on your face, do you?"

"Huh? Dad, I'm worried that drinking it won't work?"

"Silly child, I'll just prescribe you a course of treatment. If it works, we'll continue to treat you according to Chinese medicine. If it doesn't work, we'll find a way to go abroad."

"Okay! Then I'll try it." Then Zhao Rui took the Chinese medicine with a helpless look on her face, and drank it with a frown in front of Zhao Hui.

"Ruirui, how do you feel?"

"Huh! How could it be so fast after just drinking it?"

"Hey, it's Dad. I was too impatient."

At this moment, Zhou Lin, the neighbor across from the Zhao family, pushed the door open and walked in. She twitched her nose and frowned as she asked, "Ruirui, have you taken any Chinese medicine?"

"Aunt Zhou Lin, you're back?"

"Well, as soon as I came back, I smelled a strong smell of Chinese medicine."

However, Zhao Rui stared at Zhou Lin's face and said in shock, "Aunt Zhou Lin, you look so much like my mother. If you said you two were twins, people would believe it."

"..."

"Ah? Ruirui, can you see your Aunt Zhou Lin clearly from such a distance?" Sure enough, Zhao Hui on the side couldn't help but feel surprised.

"Yes!" Zhao Rui was still staring blankly at Zhou Lin who had just entered the room. Soon, she also reacted and fell into ecstasy. "Haha, it really works! Although it's still a little fuzzy, it's really much better than before."

"Great! Your eyes can be saved. Now come with me to find a miracle doctor."

"Good! It seems that Dad, you have found a true master of traditional Chinese medicine."

"That is."

Then Zhou Lin asked confusedly, "Zhao Xing, do you need me to go with you?"

"I won't bother you, Miss Zhou. The journey is indeed a bit far."

"Okay! Drive slowly on the road."

Then Zhou Lin witnessed Zhao Hui and Zhao Rui, father and daughter, leaving in surprise. He scratched his head feeling confused, then took out his cell phone and called Xie Zhiyuan.

Zhou Lin reported to Xie Zhiyuan on the other end of the phone, "Mr. Xie, I have an emergency to tell you. Zhao Xing seems to have found a great Chinese medicine expert. Ruirui got better after taking a dose of Chinese medicine."

Xie Zhiyuan, who had always disdained Chinese medicine, said dismissively, "Impossible! Chinese medicine is all a scam. I think it's more of a psychological issue on her part. Surgery is the only option for them."

Hearing that Xie Zhiyuan didn't believe in the magic of Chinese medicine, Zhou Lin, who believed in doing her best and leaving the rest to fate, stopped explaining. "Maybe! Zhao Xing has already taken Ruirui to see a doctor."

"Actually, I've even consulted renowned doctors abroad about Zhao Rui's true condition. The international medical community agrees that surgery is the only treatment option, and it's the most difficult type of surgery. Otherwise, they wouldn't have directly quoted a $2 million price tag."

"..."
