The leader, dressed in a black executive jacket, was signing a document with his head down. Even from several meters away, one could feel the authority of someone in a superior position.
After quickly signing his name, he looked up at Zhou Yi and the dean standing at the door.
Like his secretary, the leader was surprised when he saw Zhou Yi's youthful appearance, but he did not show his doubts on his face.
Instead, he smiled and spoke to the dean: "You've arrived?"
"Thank you for your concern about my condition."
"Maybe it's just a matter of age, fate. I'm already content to be able to sit in this position steadily at my age. In this life, how can everything go as planned?"
Seeing that the leaders ignored Zhou Yi's arrival, the dean maintained his politeness without making it clear, but he understood that this meant they did not trust him.
The dean had no choice but to bring it up with the leader: "Sir, this young friend's talent in traditional Chinese medicine is much higher than mine."
"He can diagnose hidden toxicities that even modern instruments cannot detect, simply by taking a pulse."
"Moreover, I've personally witnessed his mastery of the Thirteen Ghost Needles technique; it's truly amazing!"
"Back then, I was fortunate enough to hear about the Thirteen Ghost Needles from a leading figure in the Chinese medical community. At the time, that expert regretfully said that the Thirteen Ghost Needles had been lost."
"I never expected that this young man named Zhou Yi would know the Thirteen Ghost Needles, which have been lost to history."
“If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have dared to bring him here.” The dean didn’t know if Zhou Yi’s silver needles had a name, but it was right to promote his reputation.
After all, anyone with expertise would be convinced of Zhou Yi's medical skills.
After the dean quoted a saying made by a leading figure in the medical field, the leader finally looked up and paid extra attention to Zhou Yi.
"Oh, I didn't expect that there are still young people who are so proficient in traditional Chinese medicine."
But after just one glance, he didn't seem to be moved by what the dean said.
Given Zhou Yi's age, it's hard to believe that a young man could have such good medical skills, especially in traditional Chinese medicine.
Ultimately, while many professions in this world can be pursued regardless of age, medical skills absolutely require age!
Seeing that the leaders were not interested in Zhou Yi, the dean sighed inwardly.
I realized I had underestimated the situation.
Since the leaders didn't want Zhou Yi to see a doctor, the hospital director didn't dare to force him. He had already spoken and recommended someone, so the decision was ultimately up to them.
Just as he was about to leave with Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi suddenly spoke up: "You've taken authentic Angong Niuhuang Wan recently, haven't you?"
"Otherwise, given your physical condition, you wouldn't be able to last this long."
"However, Angong Niuhuang Wan can cause drug resistance in the body. The first pill is the most effective. If you take a second pill, the effect will be halved."
"Boss, if I'm not mistaken, you've only been taking it for less than half a month, so you should be able to feel that the effect isn't very obvious this time, right?"
Authentic Angong Niuhuang Wan no longer exists in modern times, and even if it did, it would be extremely expensive!
Because it contains wild rhinoceros horn and other protected species, which are now rare and cannot be hunted.
The fact that this leader was able to obtain genuine Angong Niuhuang Wan produced in the past shows how much effort he put in, which is enough to demonstrate that there is hope for a cure.
Even the big shots sitting in this position don't want to resign themselves to fate.
They only used this polite way of declining because they saw that the person who came was so young.
Now, Zhou Yi, who possesses intermediate-level medical skills, can tell whether a leader has taken two Angong Niuhuang pills simply by observing the expression on his face.
And this second pill was taken recently.
Upon hearing that Zhou Yi, despite his young age, had accurately stated that he had taken Angong Niuhuang Wan and could even calculate the time, the leader and secretary's expressions changed drastically.
"Where did you get this information from?!"
"What is your purpose in coming here?" The secretary stared sharply at Zhou Yi, seemingly already regarding him as a spy gathering information.
The leader did indeed send people to secretly search for the life-saving medicine, but this matter was kept completely secret.
If it weren't for a spy intent on gathering information, who would specifically seek out such a thing?
As the attending physician, the hospital director only knew that the leader had taken Angong Niuhuang Wan. After all, anyone with a bit of status could deduce that this was a life-saving medicine in ancient times.
But the dean was unaware that the leaders had found a second miracle drug in such a short time.
The dean looked at the leader in shock, opening his mouth to explain that he was unaware of the situation and that it was definitely not him who leaked the information!
Faced with everyone's doubts, Zhou Yi calmly replied, "There's no need to have such strong suspicions about me, because no one told me."
Traditional Chinese medicine uses the four diagnostic methods: observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation.
"Observation is to judge the condition by observing the patient's complexion, appearance, tongue coating, and expression."
"The fact that Angong Niuhuang Wan was recognized as a life-saving medicine in the past is enough to prove that it has strong medicinal properties and a strong reaction. Anyone who has taken it can tell from their expression."
After Zhou Yi finished speaking, the study fell silent, as if someone had pressed the pause button.
The dean's eyes lit up with joy. Even though he had already raised Zhou Yi's medical skills to a high level, he hadn't expected that Zhou Yi's medical skills would still be higher than he had anticipated.
I never expected that Zhou Yi could see so many problems just from the word 'look'!
The dean was a little excited for a moment, thinking that Zhou Yi might really be able to cure the leader's illness!
The secretary was first shocked, then doubtful, and after glancing at Zhou Yi's face, which looked to be in his early twenties, she clearly couldn't believe it: "Impossible! How could someone so young reach this level?"
"Observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation, especially observation, requires the ability to deduce cause and effect from facial expressions. This requires at least the skill of a great physician, but great physicians have long since disappeared!"
"So, you must have found out from somewhere!"
"Who sent you? What is your purpose in trying to get close to my leader?"
Seeing that the secretary repeatedly denied him and even suspected that he had ulterior motives for approaching the leader.
Zhou Yi took a deep breath. Oh well, he needed connections to fight the mysterious killer in the shadows. If you want something, you have to pay a price.
Moreover, he is indeed young.
If it weren't for the system, he wouldn't have such powerful medical skills!
Zhou Yi stood up, suppressing his displeasure, and said calmly, "I have done my best to show you my abilities."
“Secretary-General, even though you have questioned my abilities on several occasions and asked me to leave, I have not held it against you.”
"But I have a temper too. If I've done all this and still can't gain your trust, then I think there's no point in me staying here."
