After hearing the introduction, Lu Yuan and Wen Moxue instantly knew who the father and son were. This was Yan Yuting's ex-boyfriend and the old man who was the director of the Revolutionary Committee.
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow. What were these two doing here? Were they upset because the Yan family asked them for money to buy scar removal cream, and they came to cause trouble?
Since they were guests, Lu Yuan greeted them with a smile, and asked casually, "So you two were introduced by Director Yan. May I ask what brings you here? Are you here for the scar removal cream as well?"
Their only connection with the Yan family was through scar removal cream.
Liang Guobin didn't mince words, saying, "Yes and no."
"oh?"
"As far as I know, Comrade Lu and Dr. Wen have more than just scar removal cream in their hands."
Lu Yuan smiled faintly and remained silent, waiting for him to continue, thinking that the other party probably already knew about the medicine they gave to Mo Zifeng.
Sure enough, the next second he said, "I heard that Comrade Lu and Doctor Wen have a life-saving medicine. I would like to ask for one as well."
Lu Yuan said, "Since Comrade Liang has heard about this, he should know that this medicine is extremely precious and we don't have any on hand."
Liang Guobin smiled, neither confirming nor denying the point, only saying, "Fifteen thousand, I can wait a month."
Lu Yuan looked very troubled. "Comrade Liang, it's not a matter of money or time. It's that there are really only a few pills left, and they're all in the hands of several leaders. You should know that we've already pleaded once for our relatives' sake. It's hard to say if we have to do it again."
"Sixteen thousand."
"It's really not about the money."
"Eighteen thousand."
Wow, no wonder he's the director of the Revolutionary Committee, he's really rich and powerful.
"Comrade Liang, I would like to ask what kind of patients you need this medicine to treat. To be honest, this medicine can only treat patients who are unconscious due to external injuries. It will not be effective for other diseases. You will need to treat the specific symptoms."
Liang Guobin frowned slightly. "Is being sick useless? Isn't this a life-saving medicine that can cure all diseases?"
Lu Yuan was both amused and exasperated. "If I had this kind of medicine, I would keep it for myself even if someone gave me 100,000 yuan."
Even the spiritual spring water shouldn't be that miraculous.
"Would you mind sharing some information about the patient's condition? We can see if there are any suitable medications or other treatment options."
Liang Guobin sighed, "It's my former boss. He has tuberculosis and has been in the hospital for almost two years. His condition is not optimistic."
Lu Yuandao said, "This disease should be curable now, so Comrade Liang doesn't need to worry too much."
Although Lu Yuan himself did not know medicine, he had a general understanding of the medical level of this era. Tuberculosis had no longer been an incurable disease since the 1950s.
"Yes, it can be treated, but the doctor said the side effects are significant."
"side effect?"
Lu Yuan looked at his wife.
Wen Moxue shook her head. Her father-in-law had never told her about this disease, nor had he mentioned it in the medical books he showed her. Most of the time, he taught her how to make medicine. Currently, all she could do was take people's pulses and diagnose minor ailments and gynecological problems.
Liang Guobin said, "The biggest side effect is hearing loss, which can lead to permanent deafness. The liver, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract will also be damaged to varying degrees. I heard that Comrade Lu and Dr. Wen have some good medicine, so I wanted to ask for one for my old leader to avoid these side effects."
Lu Yuan and Wen Moxue exchanged a glance, wondering if the spiritual spring water could eliminate these side effects.
Lu Yuan spread his hands, "I'm sorry, Comrade Liang, as you can see, my wife only knows the basics. She doesn't know anything about this kind of serious illness. We don't have any medicine that can cure this disease. I'm afraid you'll have made a wasted trip today."
Liang Guobin was somewhat disappointed, but he still held a glimmer of hope. "Could you ask Dr. Lu if there are any better medicines to treat this disease? If not, other medicines to strengthen the body or regulate the body will also be fine. In any case, they can make my old boss feel better."
He knew that Wen Moxue learned her medical skills from Lu Yuan's father, but he didn't know that her father's surname wasn't Lu.
“Okay, we’ll ask.” Lu Yuan readily agreed, without correcting his father’s incorrect way of addressing him.
I thought these two were here to cause trouble, but they just happened to be asking for medicine. Liang Guobin seemed very polite, but he is, after all, the director of the Revolutionary Committee, so he must be quite shrewd and capable.
Lu Yuan didn't want any conflict with this kind of person. He wasn't afraid of them causing trouble, but he also found it troublesome. They had a lot of power. He could avoid them since they wouldn't be living here anymore, but his father-in-law and mother-in-law were still here. Even if he didn't want to befriend them, he shouldn't offend them.
Now that they've come knocking on our door, we'll have to thoroughly investigate their character and background to see how we should treat them.
If it doesn't work out, then forget it. If it's still passable, then help if you can. The fact that he cares so much about his former boss shows that he's at least a grateful person. Lu Yuan had some hope for this person.
"Comrade Lu, there is one more thing."
"you say!"
"It's about scar removal cream. I'd like to ask Comrade Lu and Dr. Wen if it's possible for this scar removal cream to be mass-produced and directly distributed to major hospitals, so that it can benefit more patients."
Wen Moxue shook her head, "There's nothing we can do now; the medicinal herbs are extremely rare and precious."
Mass production means a low price. The young couple had no intention of making scar removal cream widely available now. These days, only wealthy people care about scars. Ordinary people don't care about those little scars.
They've already set the price for their scar removal cream here; they're not aiming for the mass market.
Furthermore, mass production means distributing the prescription. What does Liang Guobin mean by this? Does he want the prescription, or does he genuinely want to benefit more patients? Lu Yuan wondered.
