“Ms. Sarah, your question is too personal. I’m sorry, but I refuse to answer it.”
Li Chu didn't indulge her at all and rejected her decisively.
"Also, if you want to continue talking to me like this, then my time is up and I'll have to leave soon."
"Hey, Li, you can't do this. I made an appointment."
"Of course, that's why I'm here, but I have limited time. May I begin your treatment?"
Sarah obediently sat there and let Li Chu take her pulse.
She knew that the person opposite her was a man of his word.
"Congratulations, Ms. Sarah. After four months of treatment, your condition has been brought under control and is now in a stalemate. You no longer need to come to me every month; once every three months will suffice."
"Really? Then I still need to drink that dark, murky water? You know, it's so bitter!" Sarah's face lit up with surprise upon hearing this, but then she started complaining again.
"You still need to take the medicine, but from now on, you only need to take it once a day."
"Phew~" Although she still had to drink it, Sarah breathed a sigh of relief at being able to reduce it to once a day.
She then pulled a stack of medical reports from her bag and said to Li Chu, "Li, I'm so sorry, I went to another hospital for a checkup without your permission. These are the test reports."
Li Chu shrugged indifferently: "It's fine. It's even better that you went ahead of time. I was planning to have you get checked today anyway."
"You're not angry that I made this decision without consulting you?" Sarah asked, somewhat surprised.
“What’s there to blame? These are your freedom. After all, once you’ve seen those data, you’ll have a basic understanding of your physical condition and be clear about the changes in your body over the past four months.”
"Thank you, Li. Your medical skills are truly amazing. I believe that with your skills, if you went to our country, those wealthy people would definitely treat you as their most honored guest, and you would definitely become a member of the upper class."
The "observation" recorder tore up the pages in the notebook again.
Li Chu raised his eyebrows, shook his head, and said, "Thank you for your praise, Ms. Sarah. I have no plans to go abroad, not now and not in the future. However, if anyone is willing to contribute to the development of our country, I will not refuse them if they come to me for medical treatment or to improve their health."
Sarah, a former executive of a listed company, may not be considered an upper-class person in the United States, but she definitely has access to many wealthy people. If she can help promote the product, someone might be willing to spend the money.
After all, it's asking you to invest, not taking that much money from you. The money you invest will generate returns.
The country is currently in dire need of reconstruction. Apart from certain specialized industries, all other industries require substantial capital investment. Li Chu also hopes to use Sarah as a springboard to see if he can swindle a few more investments.
Of course, it's not exactly a scam; it's just that everyone gets what they need.
A hint of disappointment flashed across Sarah's eyes. As a professional accountant, she knew all too well how sought-after a good doctor was in her country. If she could bring this amazing doctor over and become his agent, she believed she would soon achieve financial freedom and become a true member of the upper class.
Although she knew that given Li Chu's status in this country, it was impossible for him to go abroad, she still wanted to try. And this is the result. Without even a second of hesitation, she directly refused.
However, it wouldn't be bad to be his agent abroad.
Upon thinking of this, Sally immediately perked up.
“Li, I can help you promote this in our country, but…”
Li Chu knew what she meant by what she hadn't finished saying, but he couldn't make that decision, nor could he.
He turned to look at the translator, pondered for a moment, and said, "When you get back later, report this to your superiors and see what they say."
"Understood, Dean Li."
“Ms. Sarah, I understand what you mean, but I can’t make the decision on this matter. I’ve already spoken to the staff member, and he will report this to his superiors when he gets back. If you’re not in a hurry, you can stay at the Beijing Hotel for a few more days. I believe there will be a result soon.”
“Of course! I really like your country’s palace and I’ve been thinking of going to see it again in the next few days.” Since she wasn’t rejected on the spot, it meant the matter was negotiable. As long as there was money to be made, she was willing to wait even a month, let alone a few days. Sarah’s face lit up with a big smile.
Li Chu smiled slightly and wrote out another prescription, handing it to the translator beside him.
“Ms. Sarah, I have rewritten the prescription. You can go with the staff to pick up the medicine in a little while. However, if you want to take these medicines back to your country, I suggest you contact your country's customs and quarantine authorities in advance to find out if these medicines are allowed to enter the country.”
Previously, Sarah had stayed here with her husband because she needed to come for a check-up every month. Now, she only needs to come once every three months, so she will likely have to return to her country. In addition, if she can act as Li Chu's agent abroad, she will definitely need to travel back and forth.
Li Chu wasn't sure if these medications could be imported into the United States, so he needed to explain this to her in advance to avoid delaying her treatment.

"Thank you for reminding me. I really hadn't considered this issue if you hadn't mentioned it."
"You're welcome. You're my patient, and I'll try my best to remind you of anything that might affect your condition." As he said this, he glanced down at the time.
"Well then, Ms. Sarah, I have other things to attend to in a bit. See you next time."
"Thank you so much, dear Li. I look forward to seeing you again."
The "observation" recorder looked at his notebook with a sense of despair. This was the third time today. He kept cursing in his heart: I'm never coming again. Anyone who comes is a dog.
He never imagined that a simple record-keeping job could be so thrilling.
After Sarah and the translator went to get the medicine, the recorder handed her the notebook.
"Dean Li, please take a look at this record. If there are no problems, please sign it."
When he saw the three scratches on the notebook and then looked at the notes there, he shook his head with amusement.
