Chapter 1455 Seeking Cooperation
Shu Yu was speechless for a moment, and inexplicably burst into tears.
This is the real Versailles, isn't it? Compared to Dr. Xu, her situation was much more difficult, okay?
At least Dr. Xu could lend her a hundred or two taels of silver without any problem, but she couldn't even borrow ten taels of silver back then.
Dr. Xu, unaware of her inner turmoil, simply remarked, "Perhaps it was fate that you appeared at that exact moment. If you had approached me for cooperation earlier, it might not have happened."
Shu Yu understood that when she approached Doctor Xu, the then-magistrate of Jiangyuan County was under investigation, and Xiang Weinan came here and arrested him.
If it had happened any earlier, when that county magistrate could still be in charge and act arrogantly in the county town, Doctor Xu wouldn't have dared to sell scar removal cream so openly.
Later, when he collaborated with Shu Yu, Dr. Xu saw the profit potential in scar removal cream and therefore paid extra attention to it.
He needed to save money, whether it was to reopen the clinic or to take this opportunity to earn more money to have some financial security, which kept Dr. Xu extremely busy.
Now that the business of scar removal cream has stabilized, Dr. Xu has finally turned his attention back to his clinic.
But there was one thing Shu Yu didn't quite understand: "Now that you have money, you can expand your clinic on your own, so why do you want to cooperate with my brother-in-law?"
Dr. Xu smiled, "As you know, my specialty is bone setting. The patients who come to me are all seeking treatment for this. They won't come to me for other ailments, and they might even exclude me because they think I charge too much."
Of course, he could also hire other doctors to sit in his office.
However, the better doctors in Jiangyuan County already had jobs. He had connections with other medical institutions, and it would be unethical to poach them rashly.
There are plenty of incompetent country doctors, but Dr. Xu didn't want to ruin his reputation. He was getting old and his energy was waning. While the scar-removing cream was effective, it still needed to be managed. Where would he find the time to manage and train these incompetent doctors?
Dr. Xu himself was at a loss. "Actually, I've been thinking about this for a long time. Later, I thought I might as well just stay at my little clinic for the rest of my life. Anyway, I have scar removal cream and I don't have to worry about food or drink. But I still feel uneasy. I'm a doctor, not a businessman. I still want to spend the rest of my life treating patients and saving lives."
Shu Yu understood. "So you thought of my brother-in-law?"
"Yes, not long ago, when Second Master Jiang was moving wine, he fell off the ladder and injured his hand. While I was treating his injury, we chatted and happened to talk about Doctor Zhao's idea of opening a clinic. I was wondering if it was possible for the two of us to cooperate?"
Master Jiang is Jiang Yi of Jixiang Wine Shop.
Earlier, Deng's son, Jiang Huaiwen, fell ill and fainted while attending class at school.
Everyone was shocked. Jiang Huaiwen and Shu Rui were good friends, and Shu Rui's first reaction was to find Zhao Xi.
But by the time he brought Zhao Xi to the academy, Jiang Huaiwen had already been taken to the nearest clinic.
Seeing that someone had taken over, Zhao Xi went back.
Two days later, Jiang Huaiwen still hadn't recovered, and Jiang Yi and Deng Shi were so anxious that they developed blisters on their lips.
When Shu Rui went to visit Jiang Huaiwen, she also took Zhao Xi to the Jiang family home. After two doses of medicine, Jiang Huaiwen recovered the next day.
Jiang Yi and Deng were very grateful to Zhao Xi and even brought gifts to his home. During their greetings, they curiously asked Zhao Xi why he didn't practice medicine at his clinic, given his excellent skills.
