Fu Baozhen genuinely didn't know Song Yan worked at this hospital. Her mother had heard that this expert surnamed Han was incredibly skilled, and that while appointments with Han were difficult to get, one could try contacting his apprentice. So, Fu Baozhen came.

Song Yan: "People are prone to illness because they eat grains and other foods. We're not a gynecology department here, so we don't treat gynecological diseases, but if you want to regulate your internal organs, I can have my senior brother take a look at you!"

Fu Baozhen hesitated slightly, fearing that Song Yan would retaliate against her.

Fu Guohua was more astute than her daughter. Song Yan suggested giving it a try. She immediately agreed. "Okay, find me a good doctor."

"I've already gone through the back door to see you, so you can just wait over there!" Song Yan said before walking back to his desk to attend to his patients.

After seeing two more patients, Song Yan left the consultation room.

It wasn't unusual for the doctor to leave briefly, and no one in the room paid any attention. However, Xia Juntao noticed that his uncle glanced at him as he left. He quickly followed him out.

Sure enough, Song Yan had something for him to do.

Xia Juntao listened carefully to Song Yan's explanation, nodding frequently.

After going around in circles and returning, Song Yan continued to see the patients.

After seeing the last patient in the clinic, Song Yan brought Fu Baozhen to Senior Brother Xu.

Since Song Yan wanted Xu Pingzhi to take a look, he didn't refuse.

After examining Fu Baozhen's internal organs, Xu Pingzhi concluded that Fu Baozhen had internal heat and that her blood was not returning to its proper channels.

Traditional Chinese medicine hospitals primarily use TCM treatments, but some diseases also require the support of laboratory test results.

Knowing Xu Pingzhi's habits, he would definitely have Fu Baozhen undergo a complete blood count to see the extent of her anemia.

Sure enough, Xu Pingzhi gave him a referral for a blood test.

Fu Baozhen didn't want to go; wouldn't all the tests cost money? The doctor could have just finished the examination and prescribed the medicine quickly! But since she needed his help, she didn't say anything harsh; she just sat there without moving, asking, "Is a test absolutely necessary?"

Xia Juntao, seemingly quite impatient, said from the side, "Because of you, we're all late getting off work! What are you dawdling for? Hurry up, I'll take you there!"

Xia Juntao reached the door of the examination room, but Fu Baozhen still didn't move. "Let's go, I'll take you so we can cut in line, get your checkup done early and go home early!"

Fu Baozhen was too embarrassed to argue with Song Yan over a test. Having no other choice, she could only stand up and follow Xia Juntao.

Xia Juntao took the receipt but did not take Fu Baozhen to the cashier to pay.

Fu Baozhen and Yuan Haiyan exchanged a glance: Aren't we going to pay the money?

Xia Juntao felt utterly contemptuous, watching the two of them exchanging glances. Weren't they just trying to get a bargain without paying?

They arrived at the laboratory, and Xia Juntao handed the form to the lab technician. "Ladies, please have your blood drawn! We'll do some tests."

A young doctor walked out of the laboratory. "Xia, with such a sweet tongue, you'll definitely be able to win over your wife someday!"

That's right!

This is someone my junior uncle asked me to bring. They're yours now. Just have them take the test results back in a bit!

Xia Juntao waved and left.

The lab technician was very welcoming and led them to a private room, as it wasn't convenient to talk alone with so many people outside! "Oh, so you're Dr. Song's friends! Come on, I'll expedite your results; they'll be ready right away!"

Fu Baozhen actually looked down on Song Yan from the bottom of her heart, but now she had to rely on Song Yan's influence to avoid spending money. She wanted to get a bargain, and she was also jealous and resentful.

If her father could give her his money, would she still care about this little bit?

His father's two courtyards are very valuable now, and Song Yan has received such a huge benefit. He'll let her do a free test. He absolutely will not thank her for this act of charity.

Fu Baozhen simply smiled, neither confirming nor denying.

The lab technician, not hearing Fu Baozhen's denial, looked convinced she'd guessed right. "I'll expedite things for you. You're Dr. Song's friend, so let me do a couple more tests!"

Fu Baozhen really wanted to take advantage of this opportunity, but she was also afraid that Song Yan would laugh at her, so she was conflicted.

The lab technician seemed oblivious to her expression and continued, "You don't need to worry about the money. You're Dr. Song's friend, why would he charge you?"

By this time, the lab technician completely regarded Fu Baozhen and her group as Song Yan's good friends.

"I'm so sorry to have troubled you!" Fu Baozhen said.

"Oh, you don't need to be so polite! Whenever we asked Doctor Song for help, he never hesitated."

So I'll definitely take care of Song Yan's friends!

By the way, do you want to get some tests done? I can do them for you while I'm at it.

"I can check your blood test results to see if there's anything wrong." The lab technician was incredibly enthusiastic.

Fu Guohua thought the person in front of him was an idiot who didn't even know who to give a favor to.

She wouldn't accept Song Yan's kindness.

But it would be foolish not to take advantage of a good deal. It's free, and it's great to get a checkup.

So during the enthusiastic conversation with the lab technician, not only did Fu Guohua have his blood drawn for testing, but Fu Lei also had his blood drawn.

After the mother and her two children left, Xia Juntao turned back.

The lab technician smiled and said, "Xia, I've done everything you asked me to do!"

"Sister, thank you!"

I need their blood types. Can you make them out in a bit?

"I'll pay for today's lab tests later!" Xia Juntao said.

"Let's forget about the others! We won't register the results of the other two people's tests, so why should we charge them?"

"It's noon now, and it's just the two of us, so it's fine!" said another staff member in the lab.

"Don't give us any money! That woman just now thought I was a fool! If you give me money, you fool won't be able to escape either!" the woman drawing blood said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. You guys decide!"

"I will definitely thank you properly..." Xia Juntao will definitely give the two older sisters something later.

Sometimes, when we're in a hurry to know a patient's test results, we'll urge the lab to do it. Xia Juntao has run errands for this many times; he's practically a regular at the lab.

So Xia Juntao told the lab staff in advance that he wanted the blood types of the three of them and asked the lab assistants on the noon shift to help him out.

The lab technician readily agreed. Testing blood type wasn't a big deal. Both technicians were tactful; they simply helped without asking why.

Most people have a desire to get a good deal, so if you tell them you can do a test for free, they'll probably agree.

That's exactly right.

The blood type test results will be available quickly. Xia Juntao took the results and went home.

Xu Pingzhi prescribed medicine based on the test results, and Fu Guohua took his children to get the medicine.

Normally Song Yan would have left long ago, why didn't he leave earlier today?

Old Han found it strange but didn't press the matter.
