Having made this decision, Liu Ruonan planned to take some time to go to Guangzhou in person to sign an agreement with Boss Jin. In this era, this is an emerging industry. If they can obtain the distribution rights for this area, the future development prospects will be very good.
When Liu Ruonan returned to the store, she found Li Zhao standing in her shop, still talking to Chen Lei. Liu Ruonan hurried in to greet him: "Brother Li, why are you here?"
"Ruonan, you're back." Li Zhao also stepped forward to greet her with a gentle smile on his face.
"Where is my sister-in-law? Didn't she come with you?" Liu Ruonan looked around privately, but did not see Liu Xixi, so she asked with some confusion.
"I came here today to discuss something important with you." As Li Zhao spoke, his expression became serious.
Liu Ruonan frowned slightly and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
"Come with me," Li Zhao said, motioning Liu Ruonan to follow him. Liu Ruonan's shop had a small compartment where goods were stored. It wasn't large, but there was a desk inside for counting goods.
However, at this time, the mayor was sitting at his desk, looking very haggard.
It had been quite a while since we last met, and back then, the mayor had looked so full of energy. A middle-aged man should be very strong, so how could he have suddenly become so haggard?
I remember when Fu Yunbin introduced the mayor last time, he said his surname was Qin. Liu Ruonan didn't know his actual name. But it didn't matter whether she knew it or not, after all, she couldn't call someone by their full name.
"Mayor Qin, what's wrong with you?" Liu Ruonan looked at the mayor and asked with concern.
The mayor rubbed his temple with one hand, waved the other helplessly, and a forced smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Little comrade, you're back."
Liu Ruonan turned her gaze to Li Zhao's face and asked, "What's going on?"
"The mayor has been having migraines lately, but he's been to the hospital for a checkup, but they can't find out what's causing it. The pain is especially severe at night, and he can't sleep well."
Li Zhao frowned slightly and said seriously.
"How long has it been?" Liu Ruonan asked.
"It's been quite a while. Sometimes I take some medicine and it gets better, but it never gets rid of the problem completely! It's been a long time since I last saw you, and I thought of you the other day. I'd like to ask you to come and see our mayor."
"Brother Li, you're too polite." Liu Ruonan said, dragging a chair over from the side and sitting down next to Mayor Qin. Then she took his hand and began to take his pulse.
After a while, Liu Ruonan smiled at Mayor Qin and said, "Don't worry."
"What should we do then?" Li Zhao asked.
The mayor looks miserable. He's even stopped taking his medicine these past few days. Western medicine, after all, has side effects. He's having trouble sleeping, his mental state is low, and his hair is falling out in clumps. It's quite worrying.
Liu Ruonan smiled and said, "Mayor, please move."
Mayor Qin frowned, endured the pain, and asked, "Where are you going?"
"I'll give you acupuncture." Liu Ruonan was quite confident about her condition. She specialized in treating difficult and complicated illnesses. Many large hospitals treated patients based on Western medicine, which, while effective, couldn't cure the root cause. Traditional Chinese medicine, while slow, could ultimately cure the problem.
When the mayor heard about acupuncture, he felt hopeful. He had seen with his own eyes that the chief's grandsons, Fulu and Zhuangsheng, were both nearly unable to stand up, and were finally cured by Liu Ruonan.
At the time, after the incident was exposed by reporters, it had a brief impact in the city. However, Liu Ruonan was in a remote rural area and had no idea what was happening there. Moreover, Liu Ruonan also asked that her address not be disclosed, as she did not want to disturb her family.
News always gets hot for a while, then it dies down. Furthermore, Liu Ruonan is very low-key, so it's hard to find out everything about her. Even if a reporter wanted to interview her, they probably wouldn't have the chance.
In the mayor's eyes, Liu Ruonan is almost a miracle doctor.
Actually, I had been thinking about going to Liu Ruonan for a while when I had been suffering from a migraine for a long time. But I was too busy with work and it was too much trouble to go to where Liu Ruonan lived.
Finally I gave up, but I never expected to see her in the provincial capital today. This is really a kind of fate!
Li Zhao had initially thought the mayor seemed to be getting better over the past couple of days, so he hadn't mentioned anything. However, since yesterday, his condition had gotten worse. Li Zhao then remembered what he had seen with Liu Ruonan, and brought the mayor with him.
The mayor and Li Zhao followed Liu Ruonan to Chen Lei's bedroom. The mayor followed Liu Ruonan's arrangements and lay obediently on the bed.
Because the mayor has a special status and is a city dweller, Liu Ruonan specially made a new bed sheet for the mayor.
Liu Ruonan always carries acupuncture needles with her. Even if she couldn't practice Traditional Chinese Medicine, she'd keep them with her in case any family member got sick. Unexpectedly, she'd need them in this very situation.
Liu Ruonan cleaned up and then began to give the mayor acupuncture. His head was covered with long acupuncture needles. Li Zhao stood aside and looked a little horrified. He thought to himself, wouldn't it cause problems if someone's head was pierced like this?
But he knew that he should trust Liu Ruonan's medical skills, so he just buried his doubts in his heart and said nothing.
Although he knew that Zhuang Sheng and Fulu were cured by Liu Ruonan's combination of medicine and acupuncture, he had never seen acupuncture in person, and he couldn't help but feel a little weak in the knees.
After a few injections, the mayor fell asleep. Li Zhao moved a chair and sat beside him to watch.
Liu Ruonan went outside to find paper and pen, wrote a prescription, and handed it to Li Zhao. She said, "Brother Li, I don't have any medicine here right now. I wrote a prescription, and I'm sorry to bother you. But remember, don't make the medicine."
Liu Ruonan signaled that she had to stay by the mayor's side. Li Zhao took the prescription, nodded repeatedly, and went out with the prescription.
The largest Chinese medicine shop in the provincial capital is Zhenyitang, and the best medicinal materials in the entire city can only be bought at Zhenyitang.
This was a matter concerning the mayor's condition and could not be ignored, so Li Zhao went straight to Zhen Medical Hall.
The head of Zhenyitang happened to be there today. He took the prescription and took a look at it. He pulled down his reading glasses, looked at Li Zhao through the edge of the frame, and asked:
"Comrade, you're prescribing medicine for a migraine!"
Zhenyitang has always been known as a century-old family-run Chinese medicine clinic. The old head of the family can tell the usefulness of the prescription at a glance, and one cannot help but admire the old head of the family's medical skills.
