Chapter 145: Cooperation and Win-Win

When Grandpa Zhou heard that his son actually wanted to turn Jishengtang into a branch of Derentang, his expression became extremely solemn.

His heart was filled with mixed emotions and he was in great distress.

The name Jishengtang was given by his father.

The original intention was to practice medicine and help people, and to protect the health of all living beings.

If even this title is gone.

What is the significance of the Zhou family's generations of inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine?

Bai Zhi noticed the change in Grandpa Zhou's mood and said with a smile, "Dr. Zhou, there's no need for that."

She looked at Dr. Zhou and continued to explain her detailed ideas, "If we can really reach a cooperation agreement, we can set up the Ye Shenyi Studio at Jishengtang. My grandfather and I will come to practice medicine regularly. Later, my grandfather's team of apprentices will grow stronger and stronger. We will also independently develop traditional Chinese medicine. At that time, the scale of Jishengtang will also grow."

Bai Zhi's words brought a renewed glow to Old Master Zhou's dejected expression.

The plan for Bai Zhi sounds incredibly tempting.

If they can follow this plan, then Jishengtang can not only be revived, but also grow stronger and regain its former glory.

But will Ye Rufeng agree to Bai Zhi's suggestion?

He looked at Ye Rufeng with expectant eyes, waiting for him to speak.

Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Ye Rufeng finally made his statement. He looked at Zhou Huaiyi and said, "For Lao Zhou's sake, let's do as my granddaughter said. I can take some time to come to Jishengtang to see patients for a few days. You can discuss the specifics with Xiaozhi."

"Thank you, Uncle Ye. Thank you so much."

Dr. Zhou stood up and bowed deeply to Ye Rufeng.

His eyes were filled with tears, and he was filled with gratitude for Bai Zhi and Ye Rufeng.

He also placed high hopes on his daughter.

As long as his daughter is ambitious and achieves the same level of expertise in traditional Chinese medicine as Bai Zhi, Jishengtang will not collapse.

Dr. Zhou was extremely excited at that moment.

As long as Derentang is willing to support Jishengtang, then Jishengtang can be preserved under his leadership.

By clinging to the coattails of the old man Derentang, he will finally be free.

At that moment, Dr. Zhou felt that his life was finally about to see the light.

He can finally plan and do what he wants to do.

After dinner, since it was still early, Ye Rufeng said that if Bai Zhi finished her business here, he wanted to return to Bincheng with her as soon as possible.

He was eager to take Bai Zhi back to De Ren Tang.

He wanted to discuss with her matters related to traditional Chinese medicine detoxification therapy.

Bai Zhi said she would make medicinal moxibustion sticks for Lu Ye, and he could leave after that.

Lu Ye said he was going to visit his Aunt Mu, and Bai Zhi figured Lu Ye should be back by now.

If she wants to go back to Bincheng, she should at least tell Lu Ye.

They've hugged and kissed, and now they seem to be in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?

Even if he's in his internship.

She should have said goodbye to him before she left.

When they returned to Jishengtang from the state-run restaurant, Old Master Lu and Lu Zheng'an were standing at the door waiting for them.

Bai Zhi did not see Lu Ye's figure.

When Old Lu saw Ye Rufeng and the others return, he smiled and walked out from the shade to greet them.

Bai Zhi looked at the two elders and asked, "Grandpa Lu, Uncle Lu, what brings you here?"

"We figured you and your grandfather should have finished your business, so we came to check on you."

After finishing his speech, Old Master Lu walked up to Ye Rufeng and said with a smile, "Dr. Ye, if you've finished your business here, let's go home and rest."

Ye Rufeng's expression was serious as he politely declined Old Master Lu's request, "No, Old Master Lu, I plan to take my granddaughter back to Bincheng."

Upon hearing that they were going back to Bincheng, both Old Master Lu and Lu Zheng'an were taken aback.

"this......."

Not seeing Lu Ye, Old Master Lu asked Bai Zhi in confusion, "Xiao Zhi, where's Lu Ye?"

They came out together this morning, but where is Lu Ye?

His girlfriend is leaving, what is that guy doing?

Bai Zhi explained,

"Grandpa Lu, Lu Ye said he went to visit the aunt he met at the train station yesterday."

"Oh, I see."

This morning, Lu Zheng'an and Xie Yun mentioned to Grandpa Lu that Mu Qin had brought her youngest daughter to Nancheng.

Old Master Lu's mood has been very complicated since this morning.

Mu Qin is a woman with a tragic fate. If her eldest daughter hadn't had that accident back then, she would be of marriageable age by now.

I heard from them that Mu Qin is not in good health. Yesterday on the train, if it weren't for Bai Zhi and Doctor Ye, she probably would have had an accident.

It was only right that Lu Ye went to see her.

Fearing Bai Zhi might misunderstand, Lu Zheng'an smiled and explained, trying to ease the tension.

"Xiao Zhi, don't mind her. Mu Qin is our old neighbor. She just arrived in Nancheng, so it's only natural for your aunt and Lu Yequ to visit her. They should be back soon."

Bai Zhi smiled and said, "Uncle, I don't mind."

She explained Lu Ye's treatment to Lu Zheng'an, "I will give Lu Ye a course of moxibustion later. I will have Dr. Li and Dr. Yang perform the moxibustion. He just needs to take the herbal medicine on time. That's all. After I finish the moxibustion, I will go back to Bincheng with my grandfather."

Bai Zhi was about to leave, and Lu Zheng'an looked anxious. Xie Yun had gotten up early to visit Mu Qin, and now even Lu Ye was nowhere to be seen.

Everyone entered Jishengtang, and the old men sat together chatting. Lu Zheng'an said that he had something to take care of at work and would come to pick up his father in the afternoon.

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Bai Zhi, on the other hand, was busy making medicinal moxibustion sticks.

The medicine Lu Ye used was all prepared by her at Jishengtang earlier.

Now all you need to do is mix the herbs and start rolling them into strips.

Dr. Zhou gave his daughter a wink, "Linlin, go and help your sister Baizhi."

Zhou Lin is also a very perceptive girl. After Bai Zhi explained the production steps to her, she began to knead the dough skillfully and naturally.

Bai Zhi observed Zhou Lin working, a hint of appreciation flashing in her eyes.

This girl has more potential than her father.

If her grandfather really allows her to take on an apprentice, then she can accept Zhou Lin as her apprentice.

It's easier for girls to interact with each other in many ways.

She also enjoys interacting with girls.

While the elderly men were chatting, Bai Zhi and Zhou Lin finished a course of moxibustion treatment.

After finishing her work, Bai Zhi stretched and glanced at the time; it was already 2 PM.

Lu Ye was still nowhere to be seen.

Why does it take him so long to visit Aunt Mu?

Bai Zhi only knew that Aunt Mu and Lu Ye's family used to be neighbors, but she didn't know the specifics.

But yesterday on the train, when Ms. Mu recognized Lu Ye after being treated by her, her expression and demeanor did not seem to show the joy that an elder would feel when seeing a younger generation they hadn't seen in a long time.

On the contrary, her emotions were very subtle, and Lu Ye seemed very nervous as well, facing Mu Qin cautiously. How should I put it?

It's like a child who owes Muqin something, or a child who has done something wrong.
