The shopkeeper turned to look at the old boss and chuckled, "Dad, you don't know. More than a month ago, a little girl came and said she wanted to buy ambergris and musk to treat her paralyzed husband. She even swore that she could cure him!"
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he shook his head helplessly.
This piqued the interest of the old boss, however, the big boss sitting next to him twitched his eyebrows slightly, and then he immediately stabilized his emotions, as if something passed through his heart.
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" the old boss asked curiously.
"Isn't it? And her husband is the paralytic we visited who was injured in the military. There's no cure for him, but she's so stubborn, insisting she can cure him."
"Did she really say that?" The one who spoke was the gentlemanly boss, with a hint of expectation evident between his brows.
The shopkeeper looked at the Hong Kong boss with some surprise. He knew that the Hong Kong boss had come all the way here because he was attracted by their century-old Chinese medicine clinic. However, coincidentally, his son had the same disease as the soldier from Lelin Village.
He went everywhere to seek medical help, but there was no one who could cure him. After much inquiry, he finally found them.
They were discussing the matter right now, but due to Zhuang Sheng's condition, they weren't sure what to do and could only do their best.
"Yes!" The shopkeeper nodded woodenly. Could it be that the boss still took the girl's words to heart?
"Young man, could you take me to meet that comrade?" The Hong Kong boss stood up, walked up to the young man and asked politely.
The young man looked at the old boss inquiringly. The old boss had already stood up and nodded at the young man, saying, "Go! I want to see him too."
The old boss was very curious about what kind of girl could make such bold statements to an old Chinese doctor from a century-old family.
Led by the young man, the old boss, the Hong Kong owner, and the shopkeeper came straight to the outpatient clinic. At that moment, Liu Ruonan was sitting on a bench, blinking her innocent eyes, boredly watching the hustle and bustle of traffic outside, her little feet swaying restlessly, quite lively like an innocent girl.
"Comrade, our boss is here." The young man stepped forward and reminded Liu Ruonan.
When Liu Ruonan heard this, she quickly stood up from her chair. She originally just wanted to see the shopkeeper, but she didn't expect that the old boss would also come.
"Hello, old boss, hello, shopkeeper." Liu Ruonan greeted with a smile.
At this moment, she was facing away from the door, and the sunlight shining on her back was like a layer of golden light. Her smile was bright and gentle, with a sweetness that made people want to get close to her.
The old boss stared at Liu Ruonan in a daze, his hand holding the crutch trembling slightly, causing the crutch to make a slight sound hitting the ground. His eyes were full of excitement, and for a moment tears filled his eyes.
Liu Ruonan noticed the old man's behavior and didn't know why he was like this. For a moment, she was a little overwhelmed. Looking at the old man's expression, it was like seeing an old friend who had not seen him for a long time.
But it was obvious that Liu Ruonan's age and the old boss were definitely not old acquaintances. Moreover, Liu Ruonan's memory was that this was the first time she had seen the old boss in her previous life or this life.
Immediately, Liu Ruonan calmed down and nodded slightly to the old boss. Then, she turned her attention to the shopkeeper again.
"Boss, I've brought the money. Can you sell me those two herbs?"
"Little girl, this is not a small amount of money, you have to think carefully. What's more, this amount of money can only buy a small amount, and it can only be used a few times, which is uncountable." The shopkeeper continued to comfort her. After all, she was a little girl, and he was afraid that her money would be wasted.
People in the countryside live very frugally. Yet, this little girl stubbornly believed she could cure the disease herself. Where did her confidence come from? The shopkeeper shook his head helplessly.
"Boss, thank you for your concern. But I will not change my decision."
In reality, Liu Ruonan wanted to say that this wasn't a matter of deciding or not, but rather that she did have the ability. But she couldn't say it too bluntly, since the other party's distinguished guests were there! It would be embarrassing if she ended up ruining their reputation.
"Okay, then come with me!" How could he refuse business? Since Liu Ruonan insisted, the shopkeeper couldn't say anything more!
Liu Ruonan followed closely, but just as she took a step, she was stopped by the Hong Kong boss.
"Little girl, please wait a moment."
Liu Ruonan looked puzzled, but she still kept smiling. She looked at the boss and said, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
Liu Ruonan didn't know what kind of Hong Kong boss he was, but he looked like he was quite rich. His behavior was elegant, but not as annoying as those young men who showed off their wealth.
"Excuse me, but is your husband paralyzed now?"
These words made Liu Ruonan feel uncomfortable. The word "paralysis" was an important factor causing Zhuang Sheng's inferiority complex.
"It's only temporary." Liu Ruonan said with a straight face.
"I'm sorry. I have no other ill intentions, but my son is now paralyzed in bed, and I want to know if you can really cure your husband?" The Hong Kong boss's eyes were full of expectation, and he was eager to get Liu Ruonan's answer.
"Do you think anyone would joke about their husband's body?" Liu Ruonan asked instead of answering.
Is this a positive answer? The Hong Kong boss suddenly felt much more relaxed. He placed his hand on the outside of his pants and gently stroked the letter in his trouser pocket. It seemed that he had found the right person this time.
"Little girl, can we talk in detail? If you can cure your husband, I hope you can also help me save my son."
Liu Ruonan frowned slightly, quite surprised. Was this boss desperate and seeking help from anyone? They had just met for the first time and exchanged a few words, and he was willing to entrust his son to her for treatment? Wasn't this trust a bit too blind?
When the Hong Kong boss saw Liu Ruonan's hesitant look, he quickly took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Liu Ruonan with both hands. At this moment, the smile on the corner of his mouth seemed a little stiff.
"I am the chairman of Hong Kong Wufu Jewelry. If you are willing to help save my son, I will pay for all the medicine you need."
Liu Ruonan looked at the business card in her hand. It was rimmed with gold and looked very impressive. It read: Chairman Fu Yunbin.
The address is Hong Kong.
Liu Ruonan suddenly realized that this person's words were a little awkward. It turned out that he was a big boss in Hong Kong! And he was the chairman of a jewelry company!
Even in her previous life, Liu Ruonan had never met a Hong Kong person, let alone been the chairman of a company. But in this life, she has gained a lot of experience.
