January 25, 1984.

As the Spring Festival approaches.

In Hong Kong, both high-ranking officials and ordinary people are actively stocking up on New Year's goods.

Hong Kong Island has completely become a sea of ​​joy. The streets are crowded with people and the atmosphere is full of joy, welcoming the arrival of the Year of the Rat.

Mo Zhexuan brought Guan Jiahui, who was three months pregnant, to Xiangcaotang, ready to ask Ji Shizhong to take a good look at her.

On the one hand, he wanted to see the physical condition of the fetus in Guan Jiahui's belly, and on the other hand, he wanted to know whether the baby in her belly was a boy or a girl by taking her pulse.

"Doctor Ji! How is the baby's development?" Mo Zhexuan asked impatiently after Ji Shizhong finished taking his pulse. Although this was his second time as a father, he was still very nervous and worried about the baby's condition.

"The child is developing very well and is very healthy." Ji Shizhong looked hesitantly, took a deep look at Guan Jiahui who was stroking her belly, and said kindly:

"Miss Guan! According to my diagnosis, you have a little anemia. You should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. In terms of diet, you must eat more light and low-fat foods. You can eat more meat, eggs, and foods rich in high-quality protein. This will be more conducive to the growth and development of your baby. Spicy and irritating foods must not be touched..."

"Thank you, Doctor Ji! I will definitely remember this." Guan Jiahui's eyes were as gentle as water, her cheeks were as red as a peach, and her plump body exuded a maternal glow. Then she asked expectantly:

"Doctor Ji! I want to ask you something. Am I pregnant with a boy or a girl?"

Mo Zhexuan on the side also looked at Ji Shizhong closely. He also wanted to know the answer to this question very much, but deep down in his heart he hoped that the baby in Guan Jiahui's belly was a girl, because he already had a son, so that he would have both a son and a daughter.

Ji Shizhong naturally knew that Guan Jiahui wanted a boy very much, but based on his many years of experience in taking pulses, he judged that it must be a girl. He didn't know how to start the conversation, so he could only stammer:

"We'll have to wait a while. The pulse isn't clear yet."

"Is it a girl?" Guan Jiahui has been in the entertainment industry for a few years and has experienced some intrigues. Although her eyes may not have become as sharp as a golden eye, she still has no problem observing people's words and expressions. After noticing the abnormality, she asked nervously.

"Doctor Ji! Just tell me! No matter whether the child is a boy or a girl, I will treat them equally." Mo Zhexuan gently held Guan Jiahui's right hand, hoping to ease her emotions, and then looked at Ji Shizhong.

"Okay! Then I will tell you the truth. Based on my many years of experience, I believe Miss Guan is pregnant with a daughter." Upon hearing this, Ji Shizhong let go of his psychological burden and stated his judgment with certainty.

“Woo woo woo!…”

Guan Jiahui could no longer bear the loss in her heart, and burst into tears, feeling like the world had fallen on her.

Ever since she became pregnant, she had hoped very much that she was carrying a boy so that he could inherit Mo Zhexuan's family business and have a secure future for herself. Now that she has become like this, how could she not collapse?

Because there is an unwritten rule in Hong Kong's wealthy families, that is, you must give birth to a son. In the future, after joining the wealthy families, the biggest task of Xu Ziqi, Wang Fuxin, Li Jiaxin and others will be to carry on the family line.

Although we have entered modern society and the status of women has greatly improved, the idea that sons inherit their father's business has been passed down for thousands of years and has become a deeply rooted idea in everyone.

Of course, there are women who control family businesses, such as He Chaoqiong in the gambling king's family, but there are very few strong women like this. Most women still take care of their husbands and children and become diligent helpers to their husbands.

"Xiaohui! There's nothing wrong with having a daughter..."

Mo Zhexuan hurriedly hugged the other person in his arms to comfort him, and at the same time took out a tissue to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.

After some promises and assurances, Guan Jiahui's emotions gradually stabilized.

Of course, the most important condition for agreeing to this is that after the child is born, he will continue to pay the public grain tax until he has a son.

..................

Half an hour later, on a simple and elegant mahogany tea table in the hall, Ji Shizhong carefully brewed a pot of fragrant tea, poured a cup for Mo Zhexuan, and slowly told him what he had seen and heard, with worry written all over his face.

"Mr. Mo! I heard from my colleagues that Tsumura Co., Ltd., the company I visited last time to buy, is now buying up Chinese herbal prescriptions at high prices and is also recruiting experienced herbal plantation masters..."

"Doctor Ji! I've been really busy lately and haven't paid much attention to Tsumura Corporation. Don't worry, I won't sit idly by. China's treasures that have been passed down for countless years cannot be controlled by the Japanese invaders from Dongyang."

Mo Zhexuan felt very remorseful after hearing this. Ever since he beat up Tsumura Inoue and others last time, he gradually stopped paying attention to the whereabouts of this group of people. He didn't expect that they were really ambitious and had not changed their bad nature. They were still buying up prescriptions on a large scale and were also preparing to make arrangements in the cultivation of Chinese herbal medicines. He couldn't help but feel more anxious.

I read a report in my previous life that Jincun Pharmaceutical has established more than 70 GAP (Good Manufacturing Practice for Chinese Medicinal Materials) medicinal material planting bases in mainland China.

You should know that the famous Tong Ren Tang has only established 8 GAP medicinal material bases after more than ten years of planning of medicinal material planting bases.

After conducting in-depth research on traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, we invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the research of pharmacology, toxicology, and standardization of dosage form ingredient analysis.

It finally achieved an effective combination with Western medicine and became a true representative of Chinese medicine heritage throughout the world. However, China, the birthplace of Chinese medicine, has been reduced to a mere Chinese herbal medicine planting base and raw material supplier, which is both sad and lamentable.

After a detailed discussion, Mo Zhexuan decided to set up a specialized pharmaceutical company and invite famous Chinese medicine practitioners to join to achieve a community of interests. The core of the company is to promote Chinese medicine together.
