Chapter 106106 Another Strong General & Appearing in the Newspaper
Shu Jinyue was still confident in her medical skills, but having a hunch was one thing, but she never expected that it would cause such a huge sensation and so many patients would suddenly flock to her.
Everyone was talking at once, vying to ask her to see a doctor. Jin Yue was dizzy from all the noise. "Wait, everyone, don't be anxious. First tell me about the patient with elevated transaminase last time."
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, patients with liver disease tend to have hot tempers. Just for the "opportunity" to communicate directly with Dr. Shu, they were about to fight. Each one was more angry than the other, with red faces and thick necks.
"I'm telling you, don't compete with me, he and I are in the same ward." His voice was loud and his old face was red.
"I said, I was at the nurses' station, closest to him, and I saw the numbers on his list with my own eyes. His transaminase level had dropped to 135!" His eyes were almost red.
Shu Jinyue nodded quickly and tried to comfort them, asking what was going on. They were all like red-faced roosters.
The patient's most recent transaminase level had reached 408, and she remembered it clearly. From 408 to 135, it is a direct reduction of 70%. Even if you take imported enzyme-lowering drugs, there will not be such a great effect in just three or four days... No wonder the patients in the liver disease department are "rebelling".
"We watched helplessly as a living example of an 'incurable' disease was brought back from the brink of death by you, Dr. Shu, and the idiot is still in the hospital!"
"I spent so much money, and it was all in vain!"
Shu Jinyue: “…” That’s not necessary.
But since they were here, she couldn't turn them away. "Let me make it clear that Chinese medicine is not omnipotent. There are diseases that cannot be cured. I can't guarantee that every liver disease can be cured. If you really want to try Chinese medicine, I welcome you. But for Western medicine, you should be hospitalized and take medicine. The two are not contradictory."
Liver disease patients with hot tempers: Humph!
"Anyone who wants to see the doctor, please come in and queue up in order. It's late today, and I can only see ten numbers. If you need..." Before he finished speaking, a group of enthusiastic liver disease patients rushed to queue up and started counting the number of people on their own.
When he counted to the eleventh, the man couldn't stand it anymore. "Doctor Shu, please just take a look at me. I was just a step slow. Just one step. You see, I've been here for most of the day. I was faster than them when I was discharged from the hospital."
Shu Jinyue: "..."
She felt sympathetic towards his situation, but she knew from his full-throated voice that it didn't sound serious, so she didn't need to rush. "I'm sorry, it's too late today. I need to ensure the quality of my consultation and be responsible to my patients. Please come back tomorrow night. I'm here every night except Sundays."
When the patient heard that he was there every day, he reluctantly stepped away, but he didn't leave. He walked around the clinic and looked around.
The clinic looked quite large, with registration and fee collection facilities, a Chinese medicine pharmacy, an infusion room, and treatment rooms. There were even two consulting rooms with open doors. For some reason, he walked into the other one.
Zhao Wanqiu had just treated a patient who came to bandage his wounds. The patient fell off his bicycle at night and broke the skin on his knees and elbows. The wounds were not deep, so a simple rinse and application of some medicine would be enough. Normally, she doesn't charge the neighbors she's familiar with for this kind of work, but today, regardless of whether she charges or not, she just left a dime and left, the same price she charged for the infusion.
"Do you want to see a doctor?"
The patient paused, feeling that this old doctor was calmer and more experienced than Dr. Shu just now, and he said inexplicably: "Yes, I want to see a doctor."
"Come in."
The person who helped with registration today was Shu Linong. He left his three children with Xu Wenli and came all the way to help. It was a good thing he came, otherwise Jin Yue and her daughter would not be able to handle it alone.
Shu Jinyue examined every patient carefully. They were well prepared and brought all the test lists during their hospitalization. The most serious one was liver cancer, two were liver cirrhosis, and the others were hepatitis and fatty liver. These symptoms were not difficult at all for Jinyue. Compared with the simple increase in transaminase, it was like a high school student doing elementary school math problems. For each problem, she had two or three solutions in her mind, and it was just a matter of seeing which one she liked.
By the time she had almost finished examining the medicine, Zhao Wanqiu in the pharmacy had not yet prepared half of the medicine, so Jin Yue went over to help.
Shu Linong was not familiar with these things and did not dare to start easily. He could only do some odd jobs. Looking at the two female comrades who were busy with sweat on their foreheads, he felt so guilty that he could not do anything.
After all the patients left, he said distressedly, "Why don't we recruit someone as soon as possible."
Zhao Wanqiu felt a little pain in her heart to pay out the salary, but Jin Yue didn't feel any pain. "Yes, when I come to see patients at night, Mom can't see the patients. She can only help to dispense medicine. If not, we can first hire a medicine dispenser and an accountant."
She had said she would ask during the last family meeting, but she forgot about it when she got busy.
Based on the current salary level and referring to the garment factory, the three of them asked Teacher Shu to write a job notice in his beautiful calligraphy and post it on the door of the clinic.
What they didn't expect was that the job vacancy was only posted the night before when they got off work. Early the next morning, when Zhao Wanqiu went to open the door, she found five people standing at the door, all claiming they were there to apply for the job!
Zhao Wanqiu was completely dumbfounded. When she asked, they were all educated youth who had returned to the city and could not be settled. Because of her daughter's experience, she had a very good impression of the educated youth. "How about this, I will register your basic information first, and then you can come over at 6:30 in the evening, and my daughter, Doctor Shu, will interview you. What do you think?"
When everyone saw that this seemed quite formal, they immediately agreed.
During the whole day, more than ten people came, all of them came in after seeing the revelation. Zhao Wanqiu was so busy that she was almost overwhelmed just by registering the information.
In the afternoon, she quickly tore up the job notice. If she continued to post it like this, she would not have to see a doctor.
And Shu Jinyue was not idle that day either, she was even busier!
When I arrived at the clinic in the morning, I met Brian and Lin Zhen who were waiting there, as well as a group of liver disease experts behind them, and of course the patient with elevated transaminase.
As soon as he saw Shu Jinyue, he bowed deeply and presented a red banner with both hands, "Thank you, Dr. Shu, I really thank you!"
There were eight big yellow characters embroidered on the red banner: Miraculous doctor brings people back to health, and both moral integrity and artistic excellence.
It's okay to say that one has a miraculous healing skill, but saying that one is both virtuous and talented always feels like a very high level of praise. Shu Jinyue, who was not receiving a banner for the first time, felt a little embarrassed.
Lin Zhen is really something. In order to entertain Brian, she borrowed a camera from the foreign affairs department these days. In a flash, she started taking pictures from all angles!
After presenting the banner, everyone began to discuss Jin Yue's prescription rationally and handed over the patient's latest test results. Jin Yue looked at it carefully twice and found that the temperature had indeed dropped, and the drop was very large, so large that everyone couldn't help but wonder if the test results were wrong?
Brian really couldn't help it. He couldn't help wanting to come to see Jin Yue yesterday. It was Lin Zhen who said that her camera had run out of film, and she had to go get a note to buy film first. He didn't understand why he had to bring a camera with him to come, but he also took the opportunity to call his assistant in Country M.
Ever since he was shocked by Shu Jinyue's "magical three fingers" a few days ago, he asked his assistant to help him find some Chinese medicine doctors in Country M to find out the principle behind the three fingers.
However, for a foreigner who had no background in Chinese medicine, he didn't understand what was being translated. He couldn't hold back his excitement any longer. "Shu, can you tell me why your medicine is so magical to him, why your three fingers are so magical, why... please, please tell me the truth."
Shu Jinyue's mouth twitched. What could she say? When it comes to the principles of taking the pulse, one has to talk about the five internal organs and yin and yang. His linear thinking is simply not able to understand such profound and complex theories. He might even think she is talking nonsense.
Lin Zhen quickly said: "Brian, Shu's pulse diagnosis principle is actually what I told you these days. Do you remember what it is..." Blah blah blah, the genius girl's mouth is very powerful. Jin Yue was confused by her, let alone Brian.
The black lines above his head were spinning in circles.
"How about this, if you're curious, you can let Shu take your pulse on the spot. Are you willing?"
Brian quickly said yes, why didn't he think of using this method!
Shu Jinyue treated the neighbors and the relatives of his colleagues, which was nothing unusual for everyone. But treating a foreigner, or a great expert from Country M, was something that only happened once in ten years. The entire street office was not working, and even Director Niu was alarmed and came down.
There were so many people that Jin Yue had to invite Brian and several experts to his own consulting room. "Please sit down and hold out your left hand. I'm going to start taking your pulse."
White people have big hands and thick, golden body hair, which makes them look...well, Shu Jinyue knew that the evaluation was wrong, but she sincerely felt that we yellow people are better looking, because everything is just right and natural.
"Shu, can I see your hands? I mean, you know, those magic three fingers of yours."
Shu Jinyue raised his two hands. He stared at them carefully and asked Lin Zhen to take a few photos. There was indeed nothing on them, just like all people of different races. There were fingerprints on the fingertips and fingerpads, which were white with a hint of red and full of luster. The nails were short and neat, and there was a small white crescent.
Of course, there were no wires attached to her hands.
When Jin Yue placed three fingers on his radial artery, he did not feel like being hit by an electric current, no tingling, no itching, no redness or swelling... It was just the very real feeling of the touch of ordinary human fingers.
"You don't usually sleep well, do you? I don't mean recently, I mean all the time. It was like this in your country before."
Brian was stunned. "Yes, I often suffered from insomnia when I was in Country M. I needed to take medicine to fall asleep."
He paused, "How did you know?"
To be honest, taking certain medicines is illegal in Country M, and sometimes it will affect one's ability to practice medicine, so he did not tell anyone about it, and there is no record of this in any of his medical documents. Not to mention that after arriving in Long Country, he knew that the bottom line of the Long people could not be touched, and it was even more impossible for him to tell the Long people, so how did she know?
Shu Jinyue tapped his finger with his chin and continued to ask, "You are usually easily angry and have a bad temper, right?"
"Yes, I am. How did you know?"
"Your liver fire is too strong. Your liver pulse says so." This was Lin Zhen's own explanation. She also studied Chinese medicine and achieved excellent results, okay?
"But there is nothing wrong with my liver. I have regular health checks. I am a hepatologist myself, so there is no way I could have made a mistake." Brian was a little anxious. When he was anxious, his face turned red. The redness of white people is really obvious, with two different colors above and below the neck.
Shu Jinyue laughed, "You forgot, I said last time that the liver in traditional Chinese medicine cannot be equated with the liver in Western medicine. They have similarities, but they are also very different."
Brian stopped talking. Well, his behavior just now just proved that he had a "short temper". Damn it, she was right again.
Shu Jinyue asked him to change his hand and held it for about three minutes. "Do you have any nodules on your lungs?"
Brian shook his head, and this time he was absolutely sure, "No, absolutely not. You are wrong this time, because I had a lung examination last year, and there was no problem."
When everyone saw how confident he was, the doctors at the provincial hospital also felt that Shu Jinyue was a bit careless. She had a sure win in the first half, and almost convinced Brian, but she got it wrong in the second half, and it suddenly felt like a whimper, and it took a sharp turn for the worse.
Liu Jinbu, Sister Qiao and other onlookers also felt that Jin Yue must have made a mistake. However, people make mistakes and horses stumble. Jin Yue was wrong, but it was a very small mistake that did not affect the overall situation!
Yes, that's what everyone thinks.
Even Lin Zhen was a little nervous, thinking, could Jin Yue really have made a mistake this time? After all, old man Brian didn't seem to be lying, and she hadn't noticed him complaining about chest discomfort during the few days she had been with him, nor had he had any symptoms of coughing or spitting.
Unexpectedly, Shu Jinyue laughed. She looked at Brian and said, "You also said that the examination was done last year. It has been several months. Are you sure that this period of time is not enough for nodules to grow?"
Brian was stunned. That’s true, but...how did she know? Could it be that her eyes are X-ray eyes, more powerful than the most advanced X-ray equipment in Country M?
Lin Zhen reacted quickly and understood, "Yes, Brian, maybe your nodules were newly added in the past few months. I have a suggestion. If you doubt Shu's medical skills, why not go to the best hospital in our province for a check-up right away?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll arrange it. I guarantee you can get the check-up as soon as you arrive at the hospital." The director of the Hepatology Department said hurriedly. He really wanted to know, is Shu Jinyue really that awesome?
It was not surprising to him that Chinese medicine could lower transaminase levels, because he came up from the grassroots level and had met some great Chinese medicine practitioners before. Even among barefoot doctors there were great masters. But he was more curious about the fact that lung nodules could be detected by taking the patient's pulse without the patient even knowing about it and without any symptoms at all!
Brian did not hesitate, but he did not go to the provincial hospital. His suspicious nature made him not go to the big hospital recommended by the people here. Instead, he quietly chose the nearest city hospital and only let Lin Zhen accompany him.
"Well, this foreign devil is afraid that we will team up to cheat him?" Liu Jinbu laughed, "He thinks too much. What good will it gain if we help Jinyue cheat him?"
"That's right, Jin Yue is so amazing, is there any need to lie to him?"
Director Niu coughed lightly and said, "Comrades, please pay attention to the impact. What are you saying in front of the experts?"
The director of the liver disease department took the initiative to talk to him, "Comrade, you are too kind. We are all bricks of socialism. We can move wherever we are needed. Has Comrade Shu Jinyue been working here?"
"Yes, she has been working for ten years. She became a member of our team right after she started working, and now she has become the backbone of our big family, Xinqiao Subdistrict Office." Director Niu likes to put on airs, but that's only when he's facing his subordinates. Facing the director of a department at a provincial-level hospital, he doesn't have the courage to do so. He recounted Jin Yue's "great achievements" in recent years in a nonchalant tone.
The director of the liver disease department was amazed: "Oh? She cured a patient suspected of schistosomiasis right after she started working?"
"She cured her brother and sister-in-law of their years of infertility, and she got pregnant with twins?"
"What, she also cured leukemia?"
"Wait a minute, isn't this the leukemia formula that the Hematology Research Institute in Haicheng is currently developing? I heard that last year they publicly recruited 300 leukemia volunteers, and the formula that sparked a heated discussion in the newspapers was also developed by Dr. Shu himself?"
Director Niu was stumped by this series of questions, and Liu Jinbu quickly explained: "The previous ones are all true, but the prescription for leukemia was not developed by her. She also discovered it from an ancient medical book..." blah blah.
The director of the Hepatology Department was shocked. He didn't have much contact with Mo Shuyi because he had just been transferred from another hospital. Although he was the director of the department, he didn't know the title of Shu Jinyue, the "non-staff expert".
Not only does he have strong professional skills, he is also a very thoughtful leader. Like Mo Shuyi, he also wants to move up in his middle age. He also needs to make some achievements. If he can increase the outpatient volume, inpatient volume and reputation of the Hepatology Department during his term of office, then... His eyes were fixed on Shu Jinyue who was surrounded by everyone.
Liu Jinbu's eyes rolled around, "I'm telling you, don't set your sights on Jin Yue. Even though she's only at the grassroots level now, the Health Department wanted to transfer her up four or five years ago, but she didn't want to. A few years ago, the Municipal Hospital's Internal Medicine Department came to recruit her, but she didn't go. Three years ago, even Director Mo Shuyi of your Provincial Hospital's Cardiovascular Department came to recruit her, but she didn't go. They have a good personal relationship."
As for you, it's even more impossible.
The director of the liver disease department choked and quickly took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes and handed it over with both hands, "Is this information true?"
"Really? Just ask the public and the health department, everyone knows."
She is absolutely unprecedented and unrivaled in being unwilling to leave the grassroots level despite so many good opportunities, and her reputation has long been known to everyone in the health system.
The director was just feeling regretful when he saw Brian and Lin Zhen coming in from the door. How should I put it, Brian's expression was a little... hard to describe.
After asking for his opinion, Lin Zhen handed his freshly prepared film to Jin Yue, with only five words in his eyes - You're right again!
Jin Yue took it out and held it up to the light, and sure enough, there was a small nodule in the left upper lung. Two centimeters was not big, and the boundaries were relatively clear and the shape was very regular. All he had to do was observe it.
Brian looked at Shu Jinyue's expression and said, "Shu, are you sure you really made the diagnosis based on the pulse? Do you really not have any special abilities? It's really not X-ray vision?"
Everyone laughed.
Shu Jinyue shook his hands. They were clean, without any smear or tools hidden. "If you are interested, we can talk about it later."
Brian was certainly interested in the principle, but he was more interested in how to treat this nodule. "Can you diagnose my lung nodule? Can you treat it? Can you perform surgery?"
"For a size like this, surgery is not recommended clinically."
Brian looked a little sad and a little anxious. "My grandfather died of lung cancer, my father died of lung cancer when he was fifty, and my two uncles also died of lung cancer before the age of sixty. I suspect there is a gene for lung cancer in my family. For this reason, I quit smoking when I was twenty-five and have my lungs checked every five years."
So that's how it is. All of his direct blood relatives have a history of lung cancer. It's hard not to suspect that this disease has a genetic tendency. Shu Jinyue instantly understood his anxiety. "I won't do the surgery, but we have a way to treat it with traditional Chinese medicine. If you are willing to try..."
"I do!"
Well, in that case, Jin Yue didn't delay and asked him to sit on the bench. He took his pulse again and prescribed a prescription for his symptoms. "Substantial lesions are not like simple elevated transaminase. The effect will not be so fast and obvious. You need to take the medicine for a long time. I hope you can be patient."
When the prescription for promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, softening and dispersing nodules was written, Brian took the prescription. He couldn't understand it, but that didn't stop him from asking what it said and what effects it had.
Jin Yue introduced everything in detail, and seeing that others were also eager to try it, she took the time to show it to them as well. At noon, the director of the Hepatology Department had lunch with Brian Lin Zhen and also invited Jin Yue.
Jin Yue readily agreed. Maybe because they dealt with liver diseases, the doctors in their department didn't like to drink, so both the host and the guests enjoyed themselves.
During the dinner, in addition to Brian, Jin Yue discovered that the department director seemed to be very enthusiastic about her. He was the one who initiated the topic, and they all talked about Jin Yue's future plans and whether she wanted to move to a higher platform. After listening to them, Shu Jin Yue finally realized that he wanted to recruit her to the provincial hospital!
She smiled bitterly. Not to mention going to a big hospital, given the current busyness, she didn't even want to work at the epidemic prevention station.
Unfortunately, things are not as simple as she thought. She mentioned it to Ma Shuhui last time. What she meant was that the district did not agree with her resignation, and suspension without pay was not an option because she was a golden signboard of the district epidemic prevention station. Apart from anything else, with her around, it is easier to talk to the district and the city, and it is less difficult to get funding. After all, many leaders in the Municipal Health Bureau are her loyal patients.
Shu Jinyue originally planned to resign after the internship and get his diploma, so as to concentrate on running his own small clinic, but at the moment it seems that there is little hope, as it will be difficult to pass the test of the leadership.
As a result, another person came and wanted to recruit her to a big hospital. She didn't know what to say, so she simply introduced her good friend Lin Zhen with sincerity - the top student in the school, who not only had solid professional theory, but was also very good at foreign languages.
The director looked at Lin Zhen sitting next to Brian, chatting with him, and nodded continuously. That was true. If they really couldn't recruit Shu Jinyue, it would be nice to recruit the top student in their class.
What he didn’t know was that he couldn’t even dig Lin Zhen out… But that’s a story for later.
＊＊＊
Jin Yue was very busy in the next few days, because all the patients who suddenly left the liver disease department came to her clinic. Every time they came, they brought a bunch of their relatives and friends. Shu Jin Yue limited the number of patients to thirty per night, but she still had to see them after ten o'clock.
It took her half a month for the peak to subside before she could take a breath, and it was only then that she remembered that her mother had asked her to have an interview. "Hiss... With my memory, I will never dare to say that I have a good memory again."
"You've been really busy lately. You should take a break." Zhao Wanqiu looked at her dark circles and felt distressed. "Why don't you come to the evening clinic not every day? Come three or four days a week?"
She had already recruited someone herself. Accountant Xiaotian was a female comrade who had just gotten married. She went to the countryside after graduating from high school. Now she didn't know what to do after returning. She said that she was good at mathematics and was also an accountant for the production team in the countryside. Zhao Wanqiu observed her and then recruited her.
Shu Jinyue thought about it and it made sense. She had been so busy treating patients like a ruthless machine during this period that she had no time to read or recharge herself. She felt a little panicked for some reason, fearing that she would lose the things she had before.
Xu Duan also comforted her on the phone: "The outpatient clinics at the epidemic prevention station should be reduced a bit, and they should be separated from the outpatient clinics at night. Otherwise, you will be too tired to have time to study."
He was in favor of Jin Yue continuing to study, and even encouraged her to take the postgraduate entrance examination. "Even if you don't take the postgraduate entrance examination, you still need to read more books and study more. The current full load is actually not conducive to your further study."
Jin Yue listened more and realized that she really couldn't neglect her studies just to see more patients. This was putting the cart before the horse.
"Well, I'll think about it and find time to discuss it with Director Ma."
She yawned, and Xu Duan felt distressed. She was really exhausted during this period. Every time she had some new findings, she would share them with him first, such as the patient with elevated transaminase and Brian's lung nodules... He didn't understand, but he would stay by the phone every night, waiting for her to get off work and come back to tell him about her findings.
Just by listening to her voice, you can tell how happy she is.
And he will find ways to make her happier.
"Go to bed and read the newspaper tomorrow."
Shu Jinyue didn't understand why he talked about the newspaper, and he didn't feel like thinking about it. He hung up the phone and went to discuss the hiring with his mother.
"The problem now is that it's hard to recruit pharmacists." Zhao Wanqiu sighed. She handed over the list of names she had screened first. "These few people all have high school education, are quite efficient, and live not far from here. But they all have one thing in common: they have no experience."
Experienced pharmacists all work in hospitals or pharmaceutical companies, so it is impossible for them to be circulated in the market. If inexperienced newcomers are hired, they need to start from the most basic knowledge of identifying and recognizing medicines. They need to memorize the 18 anti-drugs and 19 fears, and learn the effects and compatibility of various medicines by heart, so as to avoid dispensing the wrong medicine or mixing medicines that should not be mixed, causing irreversible consequences.
The workload of this teaching job is huge, so Zhao Wanqiu hasn’t made up her mind yet.
"Xiaotian got the hang of it quickly. She's in charge of registration fees and daily account counting. She's much more professional than your dad and I." It was because of Xiaotian's efficiency that she hesitated and didn't want to hire a new person.
Shu Jinyue understood what she meant, "But it's hard to find an experienced pharmacist."
"You know someone from the Chinese medicine factory, Master Kang, right? Ask him if there are any children of his colleagues who have learned some basic knowledge of Chinese medicine since childhood. Xiaotian learned it very quickly because her father is an accountant."
The more she mentioned it, the more Jin thought of Master Kong, and the more he recalled a major incident that had recently occurred at their factory.
The profitability of the Chinese medicine factory was not very good to begin with. Although Shu Jinyue's Weisheng Liquid had good sales, and Xiaolin's shipments had been increasing steadily and steadily, private pharmaceutical factories emerged from outside, offering lower prices, better services, and no need to sell on credit. They seized the market of the state-owned factories, causing the pharmaceutical factories' profitability to become even worse. The previous system of employees' children taking over shifts could no longer be maintained, so many children of factory employees had nowhere to go.
At first, everyone went to block the secretary and the factory director, but later they found out that Deputy Director Su’s son was not even arranged to come in, so the workers had nothing to say.
Kang Yongxin himself didn't feel anything because he didn't have children, but for those employees who had children, such a big change was a disaster.
"What was said in the past two years was that as long as you went to a medical college, you could be assigned to a factory after graduation. Many children of employees did not take the high school entrance examination. They chose to go to a medical college even though their scores were so high. As a result, they can't work after just a few years. The parents must be unhappy." Speaking of this, Zhao Wanqiu felt very complicated.
"Our former head nurse's husband worked at a pharmaceutical factory, and her daughter believed that and chose to go to a medical college with such good grades. As a result, the factory can't arrange a job for her now, and the couple quarrels with the factory leaders every day." Although the two of them have some personal "grudges", she couldn't help but sigh in the tide of the times.
"I used to think she was pretty hateful, but when I met her on the street the other day I almost didn't recognize her. She had aged so much."
In this day and age, it is not difficult to arrange for the head nurse's child to work in the hospital, but the little girl just doesn't want to work the night shift in the hospital and is determined to go to the pharmaceutical factory. No matter how her parents try to persuade her, she just won't go to the hospital. She would rather lie at home every day than go out to work. How can her mother not worry?
"I used to think she was lucky and good at currying favor with people, so she got all the benefits. Now that I think about it, I am still lucky to have you."
It was rare for her to say such affectionate words. Shu Jinyue was still quite uncomfortable. She pretended to rub the goose bumps on her arms and said, "Okay, Mom. I'll go to Kang's house tomorrow to take care of the pharmacist's matter."
***
The next day, Jin Yue went to Kang's house with some nutritional supplements and two new clothes from the garment factory.
She had come to Kang's house before when she accompanied Ma Xiaomei to visit Kang Yuqiong, but she had not been here in the past two years because she was busy. The little girl had always limped here by herself. As soon as I arrived at the door, I found that Ma Xiaomei was there too.
"Why did Xiaomei come here today?"
"I came here by myself by bus." Ma Xiaomei raised her head, revealing a face with uncoordinated features. In the past, she absolutely dared not let people look at her face like this, and every time she either avoided or dodged. Now her eyes can meet Jin Yue's, just like two ordinary young people who can communicate with their eye contact.
"Last time, your uncle Shu said that your novel was selected for serialization in a magazine and was noticed by a director in Hong Kong City, who wanted to buy the copyright?"
Ma Xiaomei smiled and said yes, God closed a door and opened the window of imagination for her. Many of Shu Jinyue's classmates like to read novels, but they would never have thought that the serialized science fiction novel they are following was actually written by Ma Xiaomei, a girl with cerebral palsy who has never attended school for a day.
With her novel and bold ideas and humorous language, everyone thought she was a sunny boy who loved playing basketball.
Kang Yuqiong said beside him: "The director from Hong Kong City has come to discuss it and will sign the contract soon."
If the copyright is sold, it will be a huge income that is enough to support her for the rest of her life. Jin Yue is really happy for her. Xiaomei will definitely get better and better. She will definitely be able to break away from her mother's protection, survive independently, and live a very good life.
After they chatted for a while, Kang Yongxin walked in dejectedly, and when he saw Jin Yue, he forced a smile. "Come on, let's eat here tonight. I'll go buy some food."
Ever since cooperating with Xu Duan to produce rhinitis medicine for Jin Yue and selling it to Japan, Kang Yongxin's income has also increased rapidly. Now he is no longer short of money, and he walks with his head held high. This is the first time he has looked so listless like today.
Jin Yue first did not say that he wanted to ask him to introduce medicine to the children of employees, but asked him what was wrong and why he was so listless.
"Well, it's Hu Rongsheng's fault. The factory is preparing to lay off temporary workers according to length of service. He came in too late, so they will be laid off first, and they can't get much compensation."
Shu Jinyue swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. Her eyes suddenly lit up. This is a good thing!
It’s not that she has no sympathy, but Hu Rongsheng’s dismissal is actually a good thing for her!
Who is Hu Rongsheng? He is the Hu family's experienced pharmacist, a master who can both dispense and grow medicine. If we can hire him, why would we hire those young kids? It's totally different concepts!
Kang Yongxin was delighted when he heard her suggestion. "Brother Hu is worried about not being able to find a job and not having the money to find someone. This is perfect. I feel most at ease when I go to your clinic."
Yes, Hu Rongsheng still did not give up looking for the green fruit.
Jin Yue asked Li Gongan and Long Gongan to help with the investigation, and Xu Duan also had some connections among his comrades, but he still found nothing about Cuiguo. At the beginning, Jin Yue was indeed curious about what kind of Hu family skills she possessed and wanted to find her to find out, but as time went by, Jin Yue no longer thought about it so much. She felt that as long as she found her, she would be able to give an explanation to Grandma Hu. This was what she promised Grandma Hu. She passed the book to her, and the invisible condition of the exchange was to help her find Cuiguo and make up for her regret.
"Among the old members of our Hu family, if we were to say who has the best kung fu, it would definitely be Senior Brother Hu. When he was eleven years old, he could skillfully identify the authenticity and quality of most authentic medicinal materials from all over the country. Nothing he saw would be wrong. For example, last time, our factory bought a batch of tiger bones and planned to make tiger bone wine. Guess what happened?"
Kang Yongxin was in a good mood and became more talkative. He pulled Jin Yue to sit under the pomegranate tree in the yard and made a pot of strong tea. "He passed by the warehouse door and smelled something wrong. He went in to take a look, touched it twice, and then said that our factory was cheated."
The Chinese medicine factory has a special purchasing department. The department not only has experienced specialists, but also some old pharmacists with sharp eyes. Tiger bones are such an expensive item that they must have been identified by at least ten pairs of eyes. He actually said that what people bought was a fake. The factory was in an uproar at the time.
"A lot of people said that Senior Brother... well, anyway, they said some pretty unpleasant things, and the purchasing department and those senior pharmacists were pretty pissed off, but guess what happened?"
"Brother, those tiger bones you mentioned are actually dog bones!"
Later, the factory invited experts from the Provincial Institute of Animals to identify the bones, and they were indeed dog bones. The factory leaders were so angry that they found out that a deputy section chief of the purchasing department accepted bribes and enriched himself, which led to the purchase of fake goods.
Jin Yue's eyes widened. Although she had been practicing medicine for quite a long time, she was not very good at identifying medicinal materials. As for the medicines currently in her clinic, she could not guarantee whether all of them were genuine.
If he could ask Hu Rongsheng to come over and prescribe medicine for him, it would be like adding wings to a tiger. "Asking him to come over is a bit of a waste of talent. I don't know if he is willing to do that."
"Don't worry, Senior Brother likes you very much. As long as you ask, he will definitely go. Besides, he has nothing to do now."
Kang Yongxin responded to her every request because she cured Kang Yuqiong and kept her alive, but Jin Yue had no gratitude towards Hu Rongsheng at all.
But Hu Rongsheng has a kind of affection for Jin Yue like an elder does for a younger one, thanks to her relationship with Grandma Hu. She got the "Hu's Materia Medica Preparation Record", which was like getting the imperial seal in the old society. The old members of the Hu family would definitely follow her lead. Thanks to her careful maintenance over the past few years, Xu Duan took her to visit these old craftsmen during the holidays. Hu Rongsheng is a very nostalgic person.
Kang Yongxin did what he said. After drinking a pot of tea and going to the toilet, he immediately took Jin Yue to find Hu Rongsheng to explain their purpose.
Hu Rongsheng did not hesitate, "Okay, the salary can be set according to the market price, but I have a request."
"Looking for Aunt Cuiguo?" Jin Yue said with a smile, "Don't worry, our clinic has the same holidays as the state-owned units. When you have an apprentice, you can go out and look for a job for half a year every year."
As for salary, she would definitely not treat him unfairly, because he needed money for living and finding someone.
Kang Yongxin urged him: "You've already completed the paperwork, why don't you just go to the clinic tomorrow? I'll come over after get off work tomorrow and we can have a drink together."
So, just like that, Jin Yue's clinic added a new powerful member. Now Jin Yue doesn't realize how much benefit this will bring to her in the future.
She went home happily. As soon as she reached Liuye Hutong, she saw children shouting, "Sister Jinyue is back." Then every door opened and everyone said, "Congratulations, Jinyue."
"I've always thought Jin Yue is smart and blessed."
"Yes, it's in the newspapers!"
Shu Jinyue was confused, "What newspaper? Who is in it?"
"Oh my, you are the only one who doesn't know that you are in the newspaper. It's the Shilan Evening News, and it's on the front page. Look, look." Aunt Zhao took out the newspaper she had snatched from the postman this morning and unfolded it.
The most conspicuous place on the front of the newspaper was Shu Jinyue's familiar face.
She was feeling Brian's pulse, surrounded by a circle of people in their forties or fifties in white coats. These experts, who were usually hard to get an appointment with, were now like her little interns... Their maturity and experience made her face look even younger.
But the big, black and bold title is a praise: "There is great potential for grassroots traditional Chinese medicine to cure diseases for the people and bring glory to the country."
Jin Yue read it quickly. The news was well-written, even very story-like. It started with the patient with unexplained elevated transaminase, and slowly introduced a young female Chinese medicine practitioner who was rooted in the grassroots and served the public. It talked about how she solved the problem that had troubled the experts at the provincial hospital and even the experts from the United States. Of course, in the end, she diagnosed lung nodules through pulse diagnosis, as well as Brian's shock and admiration.
It is so complete and vivid that I can’t think of anyone else who the author could be except Lin Zhen, the eyewitness! Even the photos were taken by her when he wasn't paying attention!
You know what, the photo is pretty nice, hehe.
