Chapter 138: The disfigured veiled woman Su Qing looked at the face...
Su Qing looked at the Chinese medicinal herbs in front of her and pondered.
A few minutes ago, she took some photos of medicinal herbs and sent them to the medicinal herbs company under the group. The head of the branch soon called her urgently.
"Ms. Su, where did the medicinal herb in the photo come from?" The other party asked excitedly, with obvious excitement.
Su Qing frowned. Not only did the other party not answer her question, but he questioned her instead. It was really rude.
"Answer my question first,"
The other party was silent for a moment, then reacted, "It's like this. The quality of the herbs you sent me seems to be very outstanding. They are truly the best of the best. There are simply no Chinese herbs of this quality on the market right now!"
Su Qing is usually busy enough learning professional knowledge and has not done much research on Chinese medicinal materials. When she heard what the other party said, the look in her eyes when she looked at the medicinal materials on the table immediately changed.
Su Qing said calmly: "Then can you estimate the cost of this package of medicine?"
"These medicines are of better quality than the ones our company supplies to high-quality customers. A pack must be around 2,000 yuan. I wonder how much you paid for them?"
The person on the other end of the line was also curious. This grade of medicinal herbs would fetch exorbitant prices in the hands of wealthy clients. After all, the wealthy value their lives more than ordinary people. This grade of medicinal herbs not only outperforms ordinary herbs, but also allows for a reduced dosage, restoring health in the shortest possible time.
Su Qing hung up the phone with an extremely ugly expression.
This packet of medicine was dispensed from Mingxintang. The pharmacy clerk asked her to reimburse the bill. Seven prescriptions cost over 2,000 yuan, or about 300 yuan per packet.
The cost was almost seven times the two thousand mentioned on the phone!
When the clerk who went to get the medicine brought it to her, he complained to her that the medicine was too expensive and a bit of a rip-off. He also said that the business across the street was average and it must be because the pricing was too unreasonable, so not many people came to see it.
In reality, business across the street was pretty good. While it wasn't as good as Qingdetang, Qingdetang offered free gifts every day, and the customers were mostly locals looking to take advantage. Of course, the clerk wouldn't tell the boss this; she only said things he liked to hear. Sure enough, as soon as she finished, the boss asked her to get more money from the finance department for running errands.
Su Qing felt that she had found the reason why Shen Jiang fell in love with that man, but this reason did not make her much happy.
I originally thought that Shen Jiang just found a good-looking pretty boy, but I didn't expect that the pretty boy she liked not only had an outstanding appearance, but also had high-quality Chinese medicinal materials resources.
Su Qing wasn't sure about Grandma Shen Jiang's medical skills, but before the accident, she often went to Mingxin Hall, where business was not bad. As for Shen Jiang, her academy was full of legends left by her, and Su Qing could recite her deeds by heart.
Even if he only has 70% medical skills and 10% medicinal materials, he will become famous in Nanze City sooner or later.
This is the result that Su Qing never wants to see.
Su Qing's eyes flashed with the image of his handsome, almost divinely carved profile and the passionate gaze he cast upon her. She seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly laughed a little happily.
Senior Sister Shen Jiang didn't know how she had managed to fool the man, but he couldn't hide his naked desire for the expensive and gorgeous gemstones. Once a person has material desires, they also have weaknesses that can be overcome.
Su Qing was very sure that Shen Jiang and that man were definitely not pursuing the same thing.
Only I can satisfy what that man wants, and the medicinal resources in his hands should also play their greatest value.
By the way, he seemed unaware that the high-quality medicinal materials in his possession were being sold at a low price.

Mingxintang's business is much better than when Shen Jiang was alone. These days, there are more young people coming to see the doctor. Unlike the elderly who mostly share with family and friends, young people like to share online.
Anyone who comes for Shen Jiang is either an insomniac or a melasma sufferer.
But today was different. A patient wrapped herself tightly from head to toe, wearing a mask and sunglasses. She ignored Dr. Yang who was crowded with people next to her and asked Shen Jiang to see her.
A patient came specifically to see her, indicating that her previous patient had a good effect and had promoted her. Shen Jiang and her grandmother smiled knowingly and asked the patient to sit down.
The woman saw through her sunglasses that there were other people in the clinic besides the young doctor, and she immediately became dissatisfied. "I want to see the doctor alone. Can you clear out the irrelevant people?"
Shen Jiang was stunned for a moment, then said soothingly: "This is also a doctor, we will not disclose your privacy."
The woman looked at the wide-open window in the clinic again and asked, "Can you please close this window?"
The window faced the loquat tree in the yard. A young man who was sitting on a stone bench under the tree and watching TV intently suddenly looked up at this side, his nonchalant eyes revealing a hint of dissatisfaction.
Shen Jiang stood up, made an apologetic gesture to the boss, and closed the window temporarily.
The woman finally felt relieved. She turned around and locked the door, then took off her sunglasses and mask.
Shen Jiang was not surprised and didn't say much. He greeted her gently, "Please sit down."
Yao Qian had been paying attention to the expression of the young doctor in front of her. After seeing that the young doctor's expression remained unchanged after seeing the horrifying look on her face, she was willing to sit down. If the other person showed that kind of surprised expression, she would leave without hesitation.
Yao Qian is an actor, once.
She was once full of ambition and ambition, her debut was the pinnacle of fame, she won the Best Newcomer Award and then the Youngest Actress Award. Back then, she enjoyed countless flowers and applause, never thinking that she would one day become the horrible person she is now.
There is not a single piece of healthy skin on her face now, and it would scare a child to tears.
At first, it was just a rash on her face, but it gradually worsened, leading to a series of large, red, swollen, and pus-filled patches. Filming couldn't be delayed, so she had to cover them up with thick layers of powder. Filming often required late nights, and the acne, muffled by the thick powder, didn't improve, but instead worsened. The crew wouldn't stop for just one person, leaving Yao Qian with no way to rest her face. Even when the acne began to fester, she had to cover it up with even thicker foundation.
Yao Qian kept thinking that she would hold on a little longer and take a rest to take care of her face after finishing the filming of this drama. Who knew that when the drama was broadcast, her face had not recovered, and it was even worse. When the drama was broadcast, the 4K high-definition picture quality on the TV showed the pits and dents on her face clearly, which immediately attracted a lot of ridicule. Since then, no crew is willing to use her in a film. When people mention Yao Qian, the first thought is: "If such a person can be the heroine, she must have a very powerful background."
Yao Qian has been seeing many doctors and trying various cosmetic procedures over the past two years, spending nearly all her earnings, but nothing has worked. But she refuses to give up. She loves acting, and if her face can be fixed, she'll have a chance to return to the screen.
Yao Qian couldn't help but take a few more glances at the young doctor's skin. Her baby-like, porcelain-white skin was so smooth it looked like a model in a TV commercial. Yao Qian sighed. She had originally started out as a commercial model.
As soon as Shen Jiang saw the patient's face, she knew she was there to treat her acne. No wonder she had covered herself up before coming in. With a face full of festering, pus-filled acne, she'd be looked down upon wherever she went.
The patient's eyes were beautiful, the kind of charming almond-shaped eyes that seemed to speak, revealing a hint of sadness. Coupled with her straight, delicate nose and beautiful features, even though the abscess on her face was horrific, it was still possible to see that she was once beautiful.
Shen Jiang placed his fingers on the patient's wrist and began to take his pulse.
Acne is usually caused by inability to expel heat and toxins. Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment for pus formation requires a combination of heat and dampness removal. However, the pulse of the patient in front of him did not match the symptoms of dampness or heat. Shen Jiang looked up and observed the patient, noting that her hair was fresh and smooth.
"Does your hair usually get oily?"
Yao Qian shook her head: "Not bad."
Shen Jiang's expression gradually became serious: "Have you ever had acne before?"
Yao Qian shook her head again. "You might not believe this, but I never had acne before. My skin was pretty much the same as yours. Maybe it was because I was too busy with work and wore makeup every day, and I was under a lot of pressure, so I started getting acne."
Shen Jiang didn't say anything. There were some things that couldn't be said in front of the patient. For example, she now believed that the reason for her rotten face was not makeup or stress. On the contrary, she might have accidentally used something toxic on her face, which caused her face to become like this.
Her pulse didn't sound like she was sick, but rather like she was poisoned! She had absolutely no issues with dampness or heat, so how could she have such severe acne?
Shen Jiang looked solemn and asked his grandmother to come over and show it to the lady again.
Yao Qian, confused, waited for the old lady to check her pulse again, her face filled with anxiety. She had heard online that this place was very effective in treating melasma, both a facial problem, and thought perhaps the doctors here could treat it, so she came to try.
Shen Anlian raised her eyelids and met her granddaughter's eyes, knowing that she was waiting for her to speak.
"Xiao Gu, how should this disease be treated? Tell me."
Shen Jiang pondered for a moment and said, "We just got a new batch of scorpions in the store. We'll fight poison with poison. Once the poison is resolved, I'll make her a face mask."
Yao Qian grasped the key point, her body trembling, and she said in a lost voice: "Scorpion? Are you going to give me a scorpion to eat or a scorpion compress?!"
