Therefore, making the right choice is crucial.
Meiyun accepted the red envelope, expressed her sincere gratitude, and then led the group into the clinic.
The clinic was empty and quiet, and the staff all looked bored.
Zheng Huaiyu had been looking forward to seeing Mei Yun's skill in healing and saving lives, but after waiting for a long time, not a single patient came.
Meiyun smiled and explained, "A newly opened clinic needs to slowly build its reputation and gradually gain trust. Once people know about my medical skills, business will naturally boom next year."
Zheng Huaiyu clicked her tongue slightly and asked in confusion, "How long will it take?"
Mei Yun replied, "It's hard to predict. If things go smoothly, we might see results in three to five months. If it's slow, some clinics might not even have any business from opening to closing down."
Zheng Huaiyu couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
She had never been involved in the business world; the family business was managed by specialists. When her aunt was in charge, the business was in chaos, and there was nothing to learn. Later, when her mother took over, she handed it over to Liu Ying to manage.
Liu Ying, from the Golden Saber Sect, looked down on her, a young girl, so she never had the chance to learn from her. Although her mother was well-versed in business, she was too busy to bother her. Only now did she truly realize how arduous it was to run a business.
Gu Qinlan smiled and said, "What Meiyun said is the conventional approach. People who don't understand the ways of business can only passively wait for customers to come to them. But those who are good at business will actively attract customers."
The crowd's curiosity was piqued, and they stared at her expectantly, awaiting the answer.
About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a commotion suddenly arose from the street corner.
"Make way! Make way! Where's the doctor?! Quick, find a doctor, help me!"
Several burly men were carrying a stretcher with a man foaming at the mouth lying on it, rushing towards them. Passersby glanced at them, and some even followed them, eager to see what was going on.
Fuyu quickly walked out of the clinic and shouted, "There's a doctor here! Quickly bring the patient in!"
Inside the clinic, a surge of people rushed in like a tidal wave, so powerful that Gu Qinlan and the others had to retreat repeatedly to avoid their onslaught.
Mei Yun, a seasoned veteran, remained calm in the face of this situation. She composedly directed her men, saying, "Please step back a moment and allow me to demonstrate my skills."
After saying that, she stepped into the center of the crowd and began to carefully examine the patient's condition.
She gently lifted the patient's wrist to take his pulse, while with her other hand she lightly dabbed at the foam at the corner of the patient's mouth, bringing it to her nose to inhale deeply: "This foam has the smell of alcohol, but also a fishy odor..."
Mei Yun glanced around and asked, "Did he accidentally ingest rat poison after drinking? He should have been poisoned about half an hour ago."
One of the burly men carrying the stretcher nodded repeatedly, exclaiming in surprise, "Doctor, you can even deduce this?"
At that moment, several mixed cries broke through the crowd and reached our ears.
A panicked woman, with three children, pushed through the crowd and collapsed in tears beside the patient.
"Husband, you can't just leave like this! If you leave, how will we, a widow and her children, survive..."
The surrounding people were talking about it. Some felt sorry for him, while others doubted: "He's been poisoned for so long, I'm afraid it's too late to save him."
“This clinic has only been open for a short time, and the doctor is a woman. How much strength can a woman have? I think we should hurry up and take her to one of the established clinics. Perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope.”
Upon hearing this, the woman hurriedly pleaded with the strong men carrying the stretcher: "Please, let's go somewhere else. Let's go to the clinic in the west of the city. The doctor there is highly skilled and will surely be able to save my husband's life."
Upon hearing this, the strong men immediately prepared to lift the stretcher and leave.
Seeing this, Meiyun hurriedly stopped them: "You can't move him like this. He's in such a condition that he can't possibly make it to the west of the city. If you trust me, let me detoxify him."
The woman asked tearfully, "Can you really save my husband's life?"
A bystander kindly advised, "Young lady, don't do anything rash. This is a matter of life and death. You might be able to handle common headaches and fevers, but for a life-threatening illness like this, it's best to leave it to a proper medical clinic."
Upon hearing this, the woman was even more distraught and insisted on sending the patient to a large medical clinic.
Just as the stretcher was lifted, the poisoned man suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood. This sight terrified the woman, who hurriedly stamped her feet and cried, "Quick, quick, to the west of the city!"
Seeing this, Meiyun shouted loudly to stop them: "Don't go!"
She strode to the counter, took a pair of scissors, and skillfully cut open the man's heavy clothes. Then she took out the silver needles she was carrying and quickly pricked the acupoints on the man's body.
The woman suddenly grabbed her, trembling as she asked, "Can you really save him? If you can't, just say so. If my husband dies, I'll hang myself in front of your clinic with my child!"
Meiyun pushed her away, her tone resolute: "If you delay even a moment longer, he will die immediately! If he dies in my clinic, I am willing to give up the entire clinic!"
Before she finished speaking, the silver needle in her hand had already swiftly pierced the man's body.
The man's stomach churned like waves.
Meiyun immediately helped him sit up straight.
Immediately afterwards, the man vomited a large amount of foul-smelling filth, mixed with blood, a truly horrifying scene.
The surrounding people were so overwhelmed by the smell that they kept backing away, and the woman also involuntarily took two steps back.
However, Mei Yun remained calm and supported the man so that he could vomit smoothly.
