Chapter 104: IOU

Xie Zheng was happy to write Bai Zhi an IOU. He had no money, and Bai Zhi's willingness to pay for his treatment on credit was a very kind gesture.

He readily agreed, "No problem, I'll write it for you."

He asked Doctor Zhou for paper and pen, and wrote a long and detailed IOU for five thousand yuan.

"Xiaobai, there are two copies. You take one, and I'll take one."

Bai Zhi said, "Write down the interest as well. If it can't be repaid within a year, it will be calculated at 2% interest."

"no problem."

Xie Zheng readily agreed, and according to his current calculations, his band would be able to sign with Flying Bird Records in a year.

"I'll keep the IOU."

Bai Zhi put away the IOU written by Xie Zheng and then began to busy herself with her own work.

"We're going to work now, please make yourselves at home."

Bai didn't have time to pay attention to Xie Zheng, and Doctor Zhou thought his clothes were too flashy and improper, so he didn't bother to talk to him either.

The main problem is that Dr. Zhou isn't in the mood for casual conversation right now.

He knows the rules; Bai Zhi's scar-removing medicine is a secret recipe and will not be made public.

When Bai Zhi prescribes scar removal medicine, she only needs to pay for the medicinal materials. No matter how many thousands she earns, it all belongs to her private income.

He wouldn't covet income that wasn't his; he just wanted to retain Bai Zhi, an excellent employee.

He believed that Angelica dahurica could revitalize Jishengtang.

"Xiaobai, I'm leaving now. I'll come back to see you when the stitches are removed."

Bai Zhi, who was working, said, "Go to the hospital when you get your stitches removed. I have errands to run, so I probably won't be able to help."

Xie Zheng panicked upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, "Where are you going? If you leave, who will I find to remove the stitches? I'm not going to the hospital."

"Mr. Xie, what business is it of my where I go? It's just removing stitches. Any doctor can do it. If you don't want to go to the hospital, you can come and find Dr. Zhou and have him remove them for you."

The doctor, who was feeling melancholy, heard Bai Zhi's words, his eyes brightened slightly, and he slowly raised his head to look at Xie Zheng.

He can remove the stitches!

"never mind."

Xie Zheng said, "I think Doctor Zhou is a gentleman, but I'm afraid he's not very good at manual labor."

After Xie Zheng finished speaking, he turned and left.

Dr. Zhou was stunned for a moment before he realized what Xie Zheng meant.

Does that mean he only talks and doesn't act?

Dr. Zhou's face darkened.

It's not very harmful, but extremely insulting.

Around 10 o'clock, Mr. Lu and Lu Shan arrived.

When Doctor Zhou saw that it was Bai Zhi again, he felt even more melancholy.

Today is probably the last day that Jishengtang will be this lively.

"Grandpa Lu, Dr. Lu, what brings you here?"

Bai Zhi wasn't particularly surprised to see Old Master Lu. She glanced at Lu Shan, who was supporting Old Master Lu, with a puzzled look on her face.

At the same time, one can't help but feel wary.

The last few times Lu Shan came here to see her, it wasn't anything good.

Dr. Zhou didn't have a good impression of this arrogant surgeon either.

He's the same kind of person as his brother; he studied Western medicine for a few days and now he's arrogant and conceited.

They look down on traditional Chinese medicine.

Of course, it's fine to look down on a half-baked traditional Chinese medicine doctor like him, but looking down on traditional Chinese medicine is simply ignorance.

Lu Shan's attitude was unusually kind. "Grandpa said he wants you to take a look at him, check his pulse, and help him regulate his body. I'm off today, so I'm here with him."

"Isn't she being treated at the hospital?" Bai Zhi asked.

Grandpa Lu said, "The hospital's treatments are unreliable. I still believe in the treasures left by our ancestors. Xiaozhi, take my pulse and see if you can prescribe some medicine. From now on, I'll entrust my health to you. I think you're the most reliable child."

Bai Zhi did not refuse to treat Lu Lao's health.

She always said to Grandpa Lu, "Please sit down, I'll finish administering this medicine."

Old Master Lu and Lu Shan sat in chairs waiting, while Bai Zhi was busy grinding medicinal powder. Zhou Dafu poured them water and brought it over.

Dr. Zhou said with a smile, "Dr. Xiao Bai is resigning and leaving Jishengtang. She said she's going to another city, so I'm afraid she won't be able to treat you, sir."

Mr. Lu remained unperturbed by this, saying, "Xiao Zhi is my future granddaughter-in-law. She will marry into our family in the future. Even if she resigns from her job, I can still take care of her health."

His blockhead has finally come to his senses, and it's only a matter of time before Bai Zhi marries into their family.

Bai Zhi prepared the medicine for Niu Niu, ground it into powder, and carefully packed it into a medicine bag.

Niu Niu's family will come to pick up her medicine today.

"Grandpa Lu, please sit down here, let me take your pulse."

"Alright." Old Master Lu sat down, and Bai Zhi took his pulse.

"If you trust me, I'll prescribe some medicine for you to take for a while and see how it goes."

Old Lu repeatedly agreed, "I trust you, I trust you."

Bai Zhi then looked at Lu Shan, asking with her eyes whether she would interfere.

Lu Shan's opinion of her has completely changed, and it's clear that she now has faith in Bai Zhi's medical skills.

"You should treat Grandpa; he trusts you."

Lu Shan didn't interfere, and Bai Zhi readily agreed.

"Okay, then I'll prescribe the medicine."

If Lu Shan keeps blocking her way, she won't cause herself any trouble.

Bai Zhi wrote a prescription and got the medicine for Old Master Lu.

Just as Bai Zhi finished preparing the medicine, and Old Master Lu was about to say something to her, the curtain was lifted.

"Dr. Xiaobai."

Niu Niu's parents, Gu Jingming and Yang Li, walked in.

Bai Zhi stood up and asked with a smile, "Niu Niu's dad, Niu Niu's mom, have you come to get the medicine?"

The two walked straight in. Gu Jingming looked anxious. "Dr. Xiaobai, I heard from my dad that you're leaving Jishengtang?"

Bai Zhi explained, "I have something to take care of."

"Will you go back to Jishengtang in the future?" Yang Li asked hurriedly.

Bai Zhi patiently continued to explain to them, "I'm not sure yet. I told Old Gu that if you need anything, you can contact me, Dr. Zhou."

"I just finished grinding Niu Niu's medicine into powder. This is a new prescription I wrote, with some ingredients added or subtracted. I'll make the honey pills according to the same method as last time. We'll change the medicine after one course of treatment. The child's condition has improved, and she doesn't need acupuncture anymore."

Please ensure she takes her medication on time, keep her in a good mood, and avoid significant emotional fluctuations. You can then enroll her in school next semester.

Upon hearing Bai Zhi say that the child would be able to go to school when the semester started, Yang Li grasped Bai Zhi's hand tightly, her expression full of gratitude, "Dr. Bai, you are a benefactor to our family."

"Why are you suddenly leaving like this?"

"I have something to take care of," Bai Zhi told them. "Take good care of the child, everything will be alright."

"Good, good, we are very confident that our child has recovered to this extent."

After paying for the medicine, Gu Jingming invited Bai Zhi to his house for dinner that evening.

"No, I have something to do tonight, so I won't bother you. I'll visit Niu Niu another time when I have time."

"Okay, then I'll owe you this meal."

After Gu Jingming took the medicine, Yang Li expressed her gratitude to Bai Zhi many times before the two of them prepared to leave.

Lu Shan's expression was complicated from the moment they came in.

Because her grandfather was there, she didn't want to cause any trouble, so she kept her head down and tried to minimize her presence.
