After administering the acupuncture, the old man dismissed Old Man Ouyang and the others, leaving only Old Master Mu and Xu Xinning behind.
Xu Xinning knew that the old man was probably going to tell her about the medicine from the William family.
Xu Xinning had originally planned to have the military pharmaceutical research institute take over this matter.
The old man gave Xu Xinning a note last time, saying that her medicine would be produced and sold by the research institute and she would receive a 10% cut.
Although it seemed like Xu Xinning was at a disadvantage, she liked this approach. All she had to do was provide the recipe, and she wouldn't have to worry about anything else.
Xu Xinning felt that she was not suited to doing business, but now that she had clung to the government's coattails, she could practically win without lifting a finger.
Old man: "I heard that your William came to see you for treatment?"
Xu Xinning nodded.
Old man: "How confident are you?"
Xu Xinning: "Ten out of ten!"
The old man was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. He had thought the young girl would be modest, but he hadn't expected her to be so confident.
Confidence is good!
This shows that she is truly capable.
Speaking of this, Xu Xinning remembered that she had sold medicine to William yesterday, and she felt it was necessary to report it.
Xu Xinning: "I gave him acupuncture yesterday, and afterwards I sold him and his family a batch of special medicines."
The old man asked, "Could his family members really have recovered without acupuncture and just by taking this medicine?"
Xu Xinning: "Yes, it's possible, but it will take a while. I specially adjusted this medicine based on their family's unique circumstances."
Old man: "Is it only effective for this type of illness?"
Xu Xinning: "That's not true. It's effective for diseases caused by those special genes."
The old man was a little shocked, never expecting that a little child would have such great fortune.
Actually, he already knew that Xu Xinning had received about 300,000 yuan from William yesterday. He found it a bit unbelievable at the time, but after thinking about it, it made sense. It was about the fate of a family. Besides, 300,000 yuan a month was nothing to the powerful William family.
However, having such a large carrot hanging in front of them does indeed greatly facilitate cooperation between the two parties.
If the William family wants to change their fate, they will have to show their sincerity.
The old man suddenly smiled and said, "Could you tell me the price of this medicine? And what are your plans?"
Xu Xinning: "Didn't you approve my application to cooperate with the military pharmaceutical research institute? Although yesterday's transaction was conducted in my personal name, it was entirely due to time constraints. If we need to administer the medication again next time, then we will conduct the transaction in the name of the research institute. As for the price, I have divided it into one bottle per week and one bottle per month. The price for one bottle per week is one thousand US dollars, and the price for one bottle per month is four thousand US dollars."
Grandpa Mu was so shocked that his buttocks sprang to his feet as if they had springs: "What? One thousand? Four thousand? And in US dollars?"
The old man patted Grandpa Mu on the shoulder and laughed, "Look at you, all jumpy and easily startled. You call yourself a scholar-general, but I think you're getting more and more unrestrained. You're not even as good as a little kid."
Grandpa Mu: "My goodness, that's not taking medicine, that's eating money!"
The old man said, "Isn't that a narrow-minded view? Money is nothing compared to life."
Old Master Mu thought for a moment and then burst into laughter: "That makes sense, that makes sense. You scholars are really something."
The old man said, "Your granddaughter-in-law is truly remarkable!"
Grandpa Mu said with an arrogant expression, "Of course, what kind of ordinary person could subdue my grandson?"
The old man pointed helplessly at Grandpa Mu, "He's always showing off his grandson. But it's really quite enviable."
The old man then said to Xu Xinning, "Girl, we've decided to send you to medical school for two years of further study. If things go well, you can teach there and help the country train more medical professionals. What do you think?"
Xu Xinning actually prefers to do her own research when it comes to teaching and nurturing students, but it was the leaders' decision, and she couldn't refuse.
Seeing that Xu Xinning had lowered her head and did not immediately agree, the old man continued, "There are special laboratories in the school. You can lead your students to study the disease and drugs there."
Xu Xinning thought about it and agreed, but she didn't like being restricted.
As if knowing what Xu Xinning was thinking, the old man tempted her again: "With your level, the chances of staying are very high. Actually, the teachers in the school are relatively free, and there are winter and summer vacations. You can do whatever you want then."
Xu Xinning: "Is it enough to study for two years?"
The old man said, "That's not necessarily true. If you have the ability to pass all the courses in the past two years, you can do it even in half a year."
Xu Xinning: "Okay, I agree."
Mu Jingheng never expected that his original intention of bringing Xu Xinning to the capital to get acquainted with the locals would lead to her being lured to stay by her old boss.
The old man was delighted to hear this. He knew that capable people were all individualistic, so he intended to play the role of a good persuader.
Old man: "Then it's settled. How about you enroll next semester?"
Grandpa Mu: "Why do you want to enroll next semester? This semester has already started, but it's only been a month or so. It shouldn't be a problem to squeeze in now."
The old man looked at Xu Xinning, unsure of her thoughts.
Xu Xinning also looked at the old man. She thought it was a good idea, as it would greatly shorten her time going to school.
The old man said, "That's fine. If the girl agrees, I'll have someone take care of it."
Xu Xinning felt she had a lot of nerve, that attending a recommended university would actually require a high-ranking official to go to great lengths for her.
In the time it takes to make a phone call, Xu Xinning's future path was decided.
After leaving the old man's office, Xu Xinning was taken to the Military Medical Research Institute by Old Man Ouyang.
Actually, even if Old Man Ouyang hadn't stopped her, she would have gone today anyway. After all, she was going to take the pharmacy over, and she wanted to see what this department she was working with was like.
It was at this moment that Xu Xinning learned that Old Man Ouyang and Du Zhong were actually brothers.
Xu Xinning asked curiously, "Are you really brothers?"
Old Man Ouyang felt that Xu Xinning was questioning them, so he glared at her and said, "You little brat, how can you talk nonsense like that?"
In that sense, the two of them actually have quite similar temperaments.
Old Man Ouyang thought for a moment and explained, “One of us takes my mother’s surname, and the other takes my father’s surname. Both my mother’s and father’s families are renowned families, but one focuses on medicine and the other on pharmacy. The two families have been friends for generations. My mother is the only daughter in her family, so this arrangement was made so that we can pass on the skills of both my maternal and paternal families.”
