Social Death Patient 055
"What? Have you heard of this name?" Zhang Ruhan asked in surprise.
Bai Jiesui stretched out her hand: "Let me see the prescription."
Taking the prescription copied by Zhang Ruhan, Bai Jiesui was very sure that this was written by the old man her master many years ago, and not by anyone else with the same name.
She had a good memory and had some impression of all the prescriptions she had handled. If she remembered correctly, this prescription and treatment plan was originally asked for by Yang Yanwen in a letter, and the old man also recorded this prescription in his notes.
The fact that Zhang Ruhan was able to copy a copy shows that he had a close relationship with Yang Yanwen.
Bai Jiesui probably guessed the relationship between them.
"So your teacher is Mr. Yang Yanwen?"
Zhang Ruhan looked at her for a long moment and asked, "Have you asked about me?"
It seems that he is really Yang Yanwen's student. No wonder he is becoming more and more arrogant.
Bai Jiesui didn't answer and returned the copied prescription to him.
Perhaps seeing that Bai Jiesui could say Yang Yanwen's name, Zhang Ruhan's preconceived impression of her changed a little, and he nodded in approval.
"Since you can mention my teacher's name, it seems that you have made some progress in the past year and haven't just been living a life of idleness and waiting to die."
Asan had been bewildered by Zhang Ruhan's behavior before, and now that he was showing off in their hands, he really couldn't bear it anymore.
"Then do you want to guess the name of our Su Su's master?"
Zhang Ruhan never even looked at the assistant that Bai Jiesu brought with him. He thought he was androgynous and had long hair. He didn't know what Bai Jiesu's aesthetic taste was. If it were him, he would have fired the assistant long ago.
"Who are you? What does our conversation have to do with you?"
Asan got so excited that he almost blurted out the old man's name on the spot.
However, White Mustard Spice spoke before him.
"He is my cousin, why can't he speak for me?"
Zhang Ruhan looked at Asan twice again, but did not refute it.
By this time they had also arrived at their destination.
This should have been a private courtyard where dignitaries lived during the feudal period. There is still a plaque hanging on the main gate, but the plaque has been replaced by the current owner.
The geographical location here is excellent, with major landmark buildings just outside the door, but the courtyard is hidden in the bustling city center. The hustle and bustle outside does not affect the tranquility here at all. Once you come in, it feels like you have arrived in a paradise, which is completely different from the bustling street scene outside.
Because the area is so large, the driver drove around the outer wall for nearly ten minutes before taking them to the main gate.
Yang Yanwen's car arrived first and he was invited in.
Zhang Ruhan was familiar with the place and it was obvious that this was not his first time there. The person in charge of reception at the door knew him and took the initiative to greet him.
After greeting the receptionist, he didn't rush in, but waited for Bai Jiesui to sign in.
Bai Jiesui turned around and saw Zhang Ruhan waiting for her.
"Just sign in and go. I'll take you in to meet someone." Zhang Ruhan said very familiarly and naturally.
Bai Jiesui didn't move and said, "You go ahead."
Zhang Ruhan is very good at navigating occasions like today. He has seen a lot of the world, has a wide network of contacts, and has a certain degree of fame. The more high-level the occasion, the more confident he feels.
Just two steps into the reception hall, Zhang Ruhan saw an acquaintance.
The vice president of the Chinese Medicine Association, Huang Xing'an, and Tang Qing, the eleventh generation heir of the Tang family, whose family has served as imperial physicians in the palace for generations.
Although Zhang Ruohan is arrogant in front of his peers and looks down on everyone, he is a well-known polite young man in front of his elders and is deeply loved and appreciated by them.
As usual, he greeted Huang Xing'an and Tang Qing humbly.
Huang Xing'an is already in his eighties, but he is still in good spirits. When he saw Zhang Ruhan, his eyes lit up and he couldn't stop smiling.
"I was just talking about you to Old Tang. Has it been a minute?" Huang Xing'an turned to ask Tang Qing.
Tang Qing: "It wasn't even a minute. The person arrived the moment I said that."
Zhang Ruhan: "How are Mr. Huang and Mr. Tang doing lately?"
"Old Tang and I are both in good health. We can live another thirty years without any problem." Huang Xing'an looked behind Zhang Ruhan and asked in confusion, "Where is your teacher? Why isn't he with you?"
Tang Qing: "What's your memory? Don't you know that Elder Yang has been responsible for the treatment of their clan's youngest son? When Elder Yang came today, he must have gone to check on the patient first."
After Tang Qing's reminder, Huang Xing'an finally remembered.
The main reason was that Yang Yanwen had always been accompanied by Zhang Ruhan whenever he went out, and the two of them always appeared together, so Huang Xing'an didn't notice whether Yang Yanwen went to the main courtyard first every time.
But Huang Xing'an was even more puzzled as to why Zhang Ruhan didn't follow Yang Yanwen today.
"Then why don't you go with your teacher and learn something?"
There must be a reason why I didn't go with Yang Yanwen.
Yang Yanwen called while they were in the car. Zhang Ruhan asked Yang Yanwen to go in alone first, saying that he was bringing Gao Wanjie and Wen Chao with him, and they didn't know the others, so it would be inconvenient to leave them alone.
Zhang Ruhan felt that he had paid a lot today, but it was still worth it.
He was planning to introduce the people behind him to Huang Xing'an and Tang Qing. Huang Xing'an and Tang Qing were big names in the industry. If he hadn't introduced them, Bai Jiesui would never have been able to meet such powerful people in his life.
Zhang Ruhan couldn't hide the smugness and pride on his face, but when he turned around, he only saw two people, and Bai Jiesui was long gone.
"Where is Bai Jiesui?" Zhang Ruhan's face changed drastically and he looked around.
"Wasn't he following us just now?" Gao Wanjie and Wen Chao only then noticed that Bai Jiesui didn't follow them.
Zhang Ruhan looked around the reception hall in a hurry, and then ran to the sign-in area outside, but he didn't see anyone.
He took out his cell phone and called Bai Jiesui again, but no one answered.
After a while, he came back covered in dust.
"Brother Han, forget it. She is not the same kind of person as us." Wen Chao advised.
Gao Wanjie nodded in agreement. They had noticed a long time ago that Bai Jiesui never cared much about Zhang Ruhan, and it was always Zhang Ruhan who was too enthusiastic.
"Brother Han, there's no need to put your warm face on someone else's cold butt."
Hearing this, Zhang Ruhan's face became even uglier.
"You guys take a look around here first. I'll go find Teacher Yang in the back."
Gao Wanjie and Wen Chao: “?”
Aren’t we supposed to introduce them to the masters of traditional Chinese medicine on the scene? Huang Xing’an and Tang Qing haven’t introduced them yet, so why are they leaving them here now?
Zhang Ruhan didn't care about Gao Wanjie and Wen Chao who were hesitant to speak, and left them alone to look for Yang Yanwen.
Gao Wanjie and Wen Chao were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
On the way to find Yang Yanwen, Zhang Ruhan did not forget to continue calling Bai Jiesu, but Bai Jiesu's phone had been turned to silent mode for a long time, so she could not hear his call at all.
Bai Jiesui was enthusiastically taking Asan to visit the garden in the yard. Since the exchange meeting had not officially started yet and Yang Yanwen was not there, she simply came in to take a look and would go back after Yang Yanwen was done with his work.
She didn't want to be with Zhang Ruhan and listen to his endless preaching, which made her feel dizzy.
Before coming in, she asked the receptionist, who said that they could wander around the yard freely and that they were welcome to do so because they were all distinguished guests. He said that as long as they did not enter the room casually, it would be fine.
Because the people who lived here in the past were all princes and nobles, the courtyard was built in a very unique way, with flowers, water, lakes and scenery. There are beautiful scenery everywhere, which is much more interesting than visiting parks.
It can be seen that previous owners have paid great attention to the maintenance of the yard. There is not a single dilapidated spot in the huge yard, and no weeds can be seen.
As Bai Jiesui was walking around, she suddenly thought of something: "Do I remember the prince who wanted to use you and Xuebao as medicine? His yard was this big."
“…” Asan’s mood for enjoying the scenery suddenly disappeared.
At that time, that ridiculous prince heard from somewhere that there was a ginseng spirit on the mountain, and eating it could make people immortal.
Although he was already in his twilight years, he was reluctant to give up his luxurious life. He sent people to the mountains to dig ginseng and even offered a reward of one hundred taels of gold and ten thousand taels of silver.
During that period, the mountain was full of people digging ginseng. Asan and Xuebao hid here and there every day. Finally, they fell asleep and failed to escape in time, and were caught by local herbalists.
If Bai Jiesui and the old man had not saved them by chance, they would have been eaten by that ridiculous prince long ago.
Of course, even if they were all eaten, the ridiculous prince's dream of immortality would be impossible to achieve. It is also very likely that he would over-nourish himself and be sent to see the King of Hell early.
When Asan recalls those days of hiding, he still feels scared, but he feels that he cannot be the only one to be scared.
"Next time you bring Olaf here, tell her this ghost story too."
Bai Jiesui said happily, "There's no next time. This is someone else's private yard. You treat it like a park. Come as you please."
Ah Chan's face was full of regret: "She is lucky."
Bai Jiesui comforted him and said, "I'll take you to eat something delicious later to make it up to you."
Asan was thinking about how to charge her for a meal later. The menu was right at his mouth when he saw Bai Jiesui making a "hush" gesture to him.
He followed Bai Jiesui's gaze and saw that next to them, an exquisitely carved window was wide open, and faint voices of talking could be heard from inside.
In the room, Xu Ze made a cup of tea for Yang Yanwen and apologized to him.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yang, Ah Jin really doesn't want to come back."
"He doesn't want to come back, don't you think of a way?" The beautiful woman with lazy curly hair next to him asked coldly.
She was covered in dust and looked like she had just gotten off the plane.
However, even though the trip was rushed, she did not look disheveled at all, and there was not a single part of her body that was not exquisite.
Xu Ze expressed injustice: "Cousin, don't you know that he's your own brother? If I had to find a way, could I have come back alone? He fell to the ground after a disagreement. If I had dared to force him into the car and bring him back, he would be fine, but I would have had a heart attack first."
Zong Qi patted Xu Ze's head with his bag and said disdainfully, "You're useless, but you're quite talkative."
Zong Qi knocked Xu Ze's glasses askew, and he adjusted his own gold-rimmed glasses.
"I'm just speaking the truth. You don't know how much I've wasted on your brother. I've talked my mouth dry. Did you see the blisters at the corners of my mouth? He remained indifferent. He'd rather talk to a cat than pay any attention to me."
Xu Yi pushed his glasses and slowly raised his hand like a good student.
"Sister Qi, I can testify that my brother tried to persuade my cousin for a long time, and my aunt also called him, but we couldn't convince him..."
Xu Yi's words were more convincing, and Zong Qi stopped making things difficult for Xu Ze. She crossed her arms and walked back and forth in the room twice in her high heels.
"You were fine before, why didn't you come back this time?"
Because Yang Yanwen was present, there were some things Xu Ze couldn't say to his face, for example, Zong Jin felt that no matter how much treatment he received, it would be ineffective, so he could only express it in a tactful way.
"He wasn't very willing to cooperate before. We always forced arrangements on him, and he just cooperated with us reluctantly."
Zong Qi is a decisive woman. She always wants results. She is busy all day long and has no time to care about Zong Jin's inner thoughts.
"I don't care whether he's willing or not. What I want is for him to be present and cooperate with the treatment, just like before."
"It wasn't difficult to get him to cooperate with the treatment. He came before no matter how reluctant he was. It's just that he had an accident recently..."
Zong Qi: "What accident?"
When talking about Zong Jin's idol-chasing, Xu Ze always felt it was a little difficult to talk about it, because it was too magical for this to happen to Zong Jin.
"He's been in love with a female anchor for almost a month now. He spends every day in her livestream room, not writing anything. Can you imagine? During this time, he hasn't written a single serious article, except for coming up with tricky exam questions to get back at society. The publishing house is driving me crazy. He's been giving gifts and tips like crazy just to get online. A few days ago, he finally got her to connect with him, but at the critical moment, his adopted cat bit through his home internet cable. Since then, she hasn't been live, and he's been depressed until now..."
Xu Ze did not repeat the words "life is meaningless" because he felt that Zong Qi would definitely go crazy after hearing them.
However, even though many details were not mentioned, Zong Qi was still shocked.
Looking at Xu Yi again, he also had an expression of disbelief.
Is this the same person Zong Jin they know?
Only Yang Yanwen looked calm and patient as he watched them talk. He didn't understand what the female anchor was talking about, so naturally he didn't respond.
Zong Qi: "What female anchor? Where is she from?"
Yang Yanwen was present, so it was difficult for Xu Zezong to say anything. Zong Jin wanted to find a Chinese medicine doctor online to treat him.
There is a master of traditional Chinese medicine who can treat him specifically, but he refuses to do so and instead insists on looking for one online. Isn't this a slap in the face of Yang Yanwen?
Xu Ze said vaguely: "She is just an ordinary female anchor, but she is quite pretty."
Zong Qi, who was always calm in the face of difficulties, suddenly had a flash of light in his eyes and looked at Xu Yi unexpectedly.
The two people had completely different auras, but their expressions of surprise were exactly the same.
"Ajin is already watching pretty female anchors. Has he finally caught on?"
Xu Ze is not a worm in Zong Jin's stomach, and he himself is unwilling to say it on his own initiative, so Xu Ze dare not help him admit it.
"I've been quite addicted to it lately, watching it every day. I don't know if it's just this one moment or if I'm serious about it."
Zong Qi's way of thinking is actually similar to Xu Zeda's. With their status, it is not easy for them to meet a female anchor. There is no need to affect their mood, let alone delay their regular treatment.
"It's rare that there's someone he likes. He wants to meet that female anchor. Why don't you help him find her? Or you can buy the platform."
"I told him I knew nothing."
Zong Qi: “…”
"...this damn brat," Zong Qi couldn't help but curse, and then he became more and more curious, "What's the name of that female anchor? Let me see."
Although Xu Ze really wanted to report Zong Jin, many things were not suitable to be said at this time, so Xu Ze gestured for Yang Yanwen to be present.
"Cousin, let's talk about this later. Mr. Yang is still waiting here."
Zong Qi temporarily put aside her curiosity. She adjusted her emotions very quickly, and her face became gentle in almost the blink of an eye.
"Mr. Yang, I think I'll have to trouble you to go to Ah Jin in person. This brat doesn't want to come, and it's going to cause you a lot of trouble."
"I'm not bothered by it. It won't take much time to make the trip, but it's a shame to waste this opportunity..."
Yang Yanwen sighed deeply, put down his teacup, and said to them seriously, "I've invited a master of traditional Chinese medicine this time. He's very good at treating all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases. He can almost always find a way to treat problems that major hospitals can't diagnose. Zong Jin took the prescription he wrote before, and he didn't get sick that year, right?"
Zong Qi was particularly impressed by this incident. That year, Zong Jin was almost like a normal person and had no problems at all. At one point, his family thought that Zong Jin was getting better.
However, the same prescription was no longer suitable for use the second year, and needed to be re-prescribed based on Zong Jin's condition. However, the effect of the medicine the following year was much worse than before.
"Are you saying that the original medicine was prescribed by another doctor?"
Yang Yanwen nodded slightly. He knew that he lacked the ability and would not force himself to take credit.
"I described Zong Jin's specific condition in my letter, and Dr. Zhou replied with his own insights and experience using the medicine. I prescribed the medicine for Zong Jin based on his experience. I originally planned to give it a try, but I didn't expect it to be so effective. He had never met Zong Jin in person, but he was able to prescribe such an effective and precise medicine based solely on my description. I think if he had personally examined Zong Jin, he would definitely have a better solution than me. After that, I sent him invitations every year, trying to get him to the exchange meeting. He didn't respond in previous years, but this year he actually agreed to come."
This news was definitely a great joy to everyone present.
Xu Ze: "Then I'll probably have to trouble you to ask Doctor Zhou to come over."
Yang Yanwen: "The difficulty lies in the fact that Dr. Zhou's whereabouts are so erratic. I often can't contact him, and I don't know if he's willing to go with me."
Zong Qi: "When the time comes, please ask Elder Yang to introduce me. I will talk to Elder Zhou."
Since Yang Yanwen praised Mr. Zhou's strength highly, she had to find a way to let Mr. Zhou show it to Zong Jin no matter what. She couldn't miss any opportunity.
Zong Qi called Xu Ze aside and told him to call Zong Jin.
"Go give him a call and ask him to get in the car and come back."
"I'll try, but he may not answer my call."
Zong Qi threw his phone to him: "If he doesn't answer, use mine."
Xu Ze walked to the window, and Xu Yi followed closely and handed over his cell phone.
"If that doesn't work, you can try mine. Just say I have homework to ask him. He won't even help me with my homework."
Xu Ze glanced at her and said, "You said you wanted to ask about homework, but he would have to check his phone first. I guess he might not even have his phone in his hand right now."
Xu Ze called without much hope, but as expected, no one answered the phone until it automatically hung up.
But Xu guessed wrong. Zong Jin was wandering around Bai Jiexiu's live broadcast room with his mobile phone. Even though Bai Jiexiu's live broadcast room said "Anchor is away", there were still many people chatting in the room, but the main reason was because he, the top brother on the list, was also there.
[Big brother, what's wrong with you? I gave you a chance but you didn't use it.]
[Big brother, you are really no good. How could you let me down at the critical moment? If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again.]
Teacher Bai has been waiting for you for a long time. I think it was at least half an hour.
You guys don't understand Big Brother, right? You don't know how good Big Brother's tactics of playing hard to get are. In the past, Big Brother would chase after Teacher Xiaobai to connect, but now Teacher Xiaobai is waiting for Big Brother.
[It turns out we are at the bottom, and Big Brother is in the atmosphere. I learned a lesson. Next time I connect with Teacher Bai, I will try it too.]
This group of unscrupulous netizens deliberately stabbed Zong Jin in the heart. He grabbed the big fat tabby cat that had just been released from prison nearby, cruelly snatched the dried fish from its mouth, and gave the dried fish to the German Shepherd next to him in front of the cat. The German Shepherd swallowed it in one gulp.
The clueless big fat tabby cat was still sniffing the dried fish all over the ground, and Zong Jin finally felt relieved.
Xu Ze persevered in making three or four calls. When the fourth call came in, Zong Jin was about to confront the unethical netizen. He had just typed two words when the call notification suddenly popped up and he accidentally pressed the answer button.
Zong Jin's irritability index doubled, and his first reaction was to press the hang-up button.
Xu Ze anticipated his thoughts and shouted, "Don't hang up."
But Xu Ze knew he wouldn't listen, so he immediately added, "Wait, I have something very important to tell you."
Zong Jin stopped moving, but his hand was still hovering over the red hang-up button, ready to press it at any time.
Xu Ze racked his brains and tried to find some topics that would interest Zong Jin, but he felt that no matter what he said, he would not be able to keep him.
Xu Yi kept raising his hand to indicate that he wanted to speak.
Xu Ze had no choice but to let Xu Yi speak and let her delay time.
"Brother, I have an academic question I want to ask you, which is..."
Zong Jin had no patience to listen: "Don't you have a teacher at school?"
Xu Yi answered honestly: "Yes."
"You don't know how to ask the teacher, why do you come to ask me? Have you paid my tuition?"
Xu Yi pouted and told Xu Ze with his mouth: He is so fierce.
Xu Ze took the call and asked Xu Yi to go to the side.
"If you have something to say, can't you just say it nicely? Why are you so fierce? Xu Yi didn't offend you."
"You're really good. You couldn't find a way to delay me, so you pushed your sister out here, didn't you just want her to take the blame for you? I was about to scold the netizens, but your call came at a perfect time."
Xu Ze felt that Zong Jin usually looked weak all day long, and it was as if he had lost half his life if he walked a few more steps, but when he scolded people, he didn't act like a patient at all.
"Let me tell you something serious. Elder Yang has hired a very capable teacher this time. You remember the medicine you took five years ago? It was that teacher who prescribed it for you. Your health improved a lot that year, didn't it? Come back this time and let that teacher take a look. I can't say you'll be completely cured, but you'll definitely see a big improvement."
After all, it was a rare opportunity. Xu Ze thought that Zong Jin would listen to him to some extent and seriously consider whether to come back.
But Zong Jin was completely unmoved. He said without hesitation, "I won't come no matter who is here."
Just when Xu Ze was having a headache, he unexpectedly saw the white mustard seeds in the garden while standing by the window.
White mustard spike was like a middle-aged or elderly person, taking pictures of flowers with his mobile phone camera.
Xu Ze thought he was seeing things, so he blinked and looked again, and saw that it was indeed a white mustard spike.
"Really? Whoever is with you won't come back?"
Zong Jin used a cat teaser to tease the fat tabby cat who asked him for some dried fish. The cat casually replied, "No."
Xu Ze stared at Bai Jiesui without blinking, and said quietly to the person on the phone, "But I think I saw that female anchor you've been liking lately in your yard. I remember her last name was Bai, right?"
