Chapter 132132 The Scam Son & Hong Ping Are Here
We had hotpot for dinner, which was divided into two soup bases: clear soup and red soup. Both were made from mutton bones, which were boiled for a long time, and a little Chinese medicine angelica was added. The soup was milky white, rich and fragrant. Zhao Wanqiu even said that it was delicious even if you used it to cook insoles.
After everyone had their fill, they watched TV for two hours at home, played cards for a while, and then had a barbecue buffet after nine o'clock. The utensils were borrowed by Shu Wenming, the charcoal was ready-made, the ingredients were prepared by Zhao Wanqiu, and everyone prepared the food together. It tasted so delicious.
Shu Jinyue ate some vegetables casually and mainly a fish by herself. There was no other way. She wanted to eat more, but for the sake of her own health, she still endured it.
But even so, I still ate too much. My stomach was rumbling at night and I didn’t fall asleep until the late night. I was almost late for work the next day.
Xu Duan was driving the car and saw that she didn't look very well. "Why don't you take a leave and have a good rest at home."
"No, I just ate too much and didn't sleep well."
She knew her body well. "Go quickly. Don't you have a big client today?"
"Well, Wang Matt brought it here, and Tian Meizhi is in charge of the reception. It doesn't matter if I don't go."
"You know, Tian Meizhi is really capable. Last night she said that if she worked hard for another year, she would like to buy a car. Qi Lixin was shocked at the time and he opened his mouth without knowing what to say."
Jin Yue was busy eating and only saw this small episode, but Xu Duan observed that Qi Lixin seemed to be very interested in Tian Meizhi. Every time she spoke, he would stop what he was doing and look at her. When he saw the grilled fish she liked, he would put it in front of her, but when he saw the leeks she didn't like, he would keep them far away.
Of course, these are just some small things, very cheap "goodness", but relationships are sometimes like this, starting with some very small things.
Jin Yueke didn’t have time to listen to him because she saw a person - Hu Rongsheng!
As soon as the car came to a complete stop, "Is Master Hu back?"
Hu Rongsheng nodded and stood at the door with his hands in his sleeves. His skin had become darker, he had become thinner, and his spirits seemed a little depressed.
It seems that this time we have returned empty-handed again.
Hu Rongsheng nodded to Xu Duan, and waited until he drove away before whispering to Jin Yue, "I'm back. How are you doing recently?"
The first sentence was about caring about her and the clinic. Shu Jinyue felt warm in her heart, "We are all fine. I have something to tell you... No, wait a minute, let me ask you a question. Do you remember any characteristics of Aunt Cuiguo?"
"What characteristics?" Hu Rongsheng had a look of worry on his face. "She is quite tall. To put it in modern terms, she is at least 1.65 meters tall. Her weight will change, and she will have more scars and wrinkles, but her height will basically not change."
"The Cuiguo I found in Ganxi Province this time was indeed called Cuiguo, but she was not the person I was looking for."
I traveled thousands of miles to get there, only to be disappointed again.
Shu Jinyue couldn't let him be so depressed, "Please think about it carefully. Does Aunt Cuiguo have any moles on her body in a conspicuous place?"
"As for moles... She has a very small one on her cheek. It may grow bigger as she gets older. She may have had surgery to remove the mole. After all, girls like to look beautiful."
Shu Jinyue was really anxious, but he couldn't tell the clues directly. If he wanted it to be authentic, it would be best if the details he could remember were real. When people are extremely eager, their subconscious will "modify" their memories. Jinyue was afraid that if he told it directly, he would not be able to tell whether it was real or imagined.
"Besides the face, the hands, the feet, the neck, do you remember?"
"There shouldn't be one on her neck. I secretly took a look at it twice when I was young. There's no one on her hand either... Wait, there's a small one on her right hand, but it's not a black mole, it's a red mole."
Shu Jinyue's heart was beating hard. "Where is it on your hand? Do you remember?"
"Here, Heguxue."
Shu Jinyue: “!!!”
That’s right! When Qi Peilan met that elder sister in Taocheng, there was also a red mole here! If it were someone else, she would feel that there might be errors, but Qi Peilan and Hu Rongsheng both came from medical families, so it was impossible for them to make a mistake in such a simple and obvious academic degree. Their descriptions should be very reliable and trustworthy!
"What’s wrong with you?"
Shu Jinyue said nothing and took him directly to the door of Qi Peilan's clinic. "Aunt Qi, Master Hu is back. Please tell him about that lady."
…
Twenty minutes later, Hu Rongsheng was in a daze, his hands and feet were stiff, but there was an unusually bright light in his eyes. He took two steps towards the pharmacy, then turned back and walked towards Jin Yue, took two steps, then turned back and walked towards Qi Peilan, took two steps again, and then retreated... like a walking corpse without a soul, no one knew what he was doing.
Bewildered and distraught, this was probably the closest he had been to the truth in decades.
Shu Jinyue felt that this time, he might really find the green fruit.
Even if Cuiguo was already married and had children, as long as he found her and knew that she was still alive and well, his wish would be fulfilled.
"I have to go to Taocheng for something about the clinic... Sorry, Jin Yue."
"You don't have to apologize. Brother Li Xin and the others are doing a great job. If I'm really too busy, I'll hire a few more people." She also had her own plans.
Hu Rongsheng looked at Jin Yue and suddenly smiled foolishly again, "Tell me, if it's really her this time, what should I do?"
Jin Yue actually already knew what he would do. With his personality, he just wanted to see her and make sure she was doing well. Even based on Jin Yue's understanding of him, he might not even show up.
If she is living a good life now, with a loving husband and a pair of children, wouldn't the appearance of her ex-fiancé be a psychological burden to her?
He waited for so many years, not to marry her, but just to know whether she was still alive and living well. As long as she was happy, he would be satisfied even if she had children with another man.
"Go with peace of mind, Master Hu."
That afternoon, Hu Rongsheng bought a train ticket to northwestern Xinjiang Province. Taocheng is relatively remote. After arriving in the provincial capital of Xinjiang Province, he would need to take a long-distance bus for another seven or eight hours to reach Linshi. Only then could he take a bus from Linshi to Taocheng the next day. As for how to find his way to Taocheng after arriving in Taocheng, it was up to him.
***
Shu Wenming was very quick and did things as soon as he said they would. No one knew where he found the opportunity, but he went to Beijing within two days and started recruiting people to shoot commercials after he came back.
Since the main focus is on women's clothing, he must hire female models. His aesthetic taste is high, so he went directly to Shilan University to find a few female college students... By the way, these models were found for him by Mike.
Mike had just been admitted to the Law Department of Shilan University. He was good-looking, smart, and outgoing. Not long after he entered the school, he became good friends with many seniors. When he heard that Uncle Wenming was looking for a model for a clothing advertisement, he patted his chest and said that he had secured the model.
He did indeed pay for it. He found three tall, elegant girls with unique looks, and hired someone to design an advertising plot. Shu Wenming didn't have to worry about anything. The money was in place, and he just had to take time to check on the progress and wait for the film to be completed.
This time, the idea of running an advertisement was a spur of the moment decision, and there was no time for careful consideration or elaborate work. The idea was just to do it quickly, and before most of the manufacturers of similar competing products had time to react, to place the advertisements everywhere on a large scale, with the main goal of creating a bombardment-style publicity effect.
So, it took only five days to complete the film, and after adding some money, it was immediately broadcast on TV.
Yaya was the first to discover it. One day, a few seconds before the news broadcast that her grandfather and father loved to watch, three beautiful sisters wearing different pretty dresses suddenly appeared on TV. They walked in a cool model way, and then the four big words "Ming Yue Clothing" appeared on the screen. There was even a phone number below. She quickly checked it in her mind and it was exactly the same as the one in her second uncle's factory.
"Aunt, my second uncle's factory is on TV!"
"Where, where? Where is my dad on TV?" Little Ping'an ran in wagging his tail and stared at the TV screen eagerly. Fortunately, this advertisement was played over and over again three times, and he just happened to catch the third one. After confirming that it was really his father's factory and his father's phone call, he immediately danced and went to the compound to call his friends.
"My dad and three beautiful aunts are on TV!"
"My dad has three beautiful aunts!"
This is the best example of what it means that children cannot lie but can talk nonsense. It was clearly an advertisement for a clothing factory, but in his mouth it turned into an advertisement about his father and three beautiful aunts on TV. What's even more outrageous is that the rumor finally spread that his father has three beautiful aunts! As soon as Shu Wenming turned into the alley, he was stared at by everyone with an indescribable look.
Most of them showed contempt and disdain, occasionally a little gloating, and even a few were envious and jealous, with an expression of "You eat so well, old man".
"Oh, Wenming, can you bear it?"
Shu Wenming ignored him. The person who was talking was a well-known second-rate guy in the alley, and he usually didn't even look at him.
"You kid, you're still pretending to be a decent person in front of me. Your cheap son has already told me that you have three lovers."
Shu Wenming's face turned green. "Stop talking nonsense."
"I'm talking nonsense? Your son said it himself, you can ask everyone."
Everyone was extremely embarrassed, but still nodded obediently. In the past, everyone said that Shu Wenming was a good man. Wen Li was infertile, but he still stayed with her after all these years, even though he had become a big boss. Wen Li was still as innocent as a little girl after being married for many years... But today, the ugly affair in their family was exposed by Xiao Ping'an.
"Children won't lie. You should take it easy."
"No, I'll give you some wolfberries, or pig kidneys, or bull whips, do you want them?"
Shu Wenming's face turned green as he hurried home. When he entered the house, he saw Shu Linong scolding Xiao Ping'an. The child lowered his head like a little quail, "Grandpa, I was wrong."
"What did you do wrong?"
"I shouldn't talk nonsense."
"Why are you talking nonsense?"
"I said my dad has three beautiful aunts."
Shu Wenming: “…”
The case was solved. My son really screwed me!
That night, little Ping'an once again had a complete childhood. Shu Jinyue didn't find out until the next day. She was too tired that day and went to bed early. Since Hu Rongsheng went out again, Jinyue had not been idle. She posted a job notice, and in less than three days, more than a dozen pharmacists came for the interview, and two or three doctors also came.
Among the pharmacists, Jin Yue conducted a simple assessment and selected three who were experienced and steady in their work, both men and women, but it was difficult to choose doctors.
The three doctors who came for the interview were all from a traditional Chinese medicine background, but they were all different. One of them, like her, had studied with a barefoot doctor in the countryside for a few years. He could cure some diseases, but his prescriptions and medicines were too much like those of a gangster.
One is a college student who just graduated from the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine last year. He is Jin Yue’s direct junior. He is very familiar with normative things, but he is timid and too rigid about what is in the textbooks. If something is not mentioned in the textbooks, he does not know how to use it and dares not use it.
The last one is an old doctor with more than 20 years of clinical experience, but it is... Western medicine experience. I only started to learn Western and Chinese techniques five years ago, but in my opinion, what I learned was neither Western nor Chinese. It's like a person who deliberately learned a certain dance step, but as time went by, he even forgot his original gait.
Shu Jinyue gave a practical medical record analysis and asked the three of them to answer it at the same time within the specified time, and then go back and wait for notification. Now, she took the three answer sheets to Qi Peilan and her mother, "Help me with some advice."
The case was about a 35-year-old female patient who had suffered from long-term general fatigue, palpitations and shortness of breath. Some auxiliary examinations and results were attached, and each person was asked to give a possible diagnosis and treatment prescription, as well as the next step of diagnosis and treatment.
"The first doctor diagnosed me with insufficient Qi and blood, and prescribed Bazhen Decoction as the base, and the medicine... Hey, why are they all ginseng, deer antlers, and rhodiola rosea?"
It cannot be said that all of them are, but the proportion of precious medicinal materials is too high, and the dosage is relatively large. If you pick up this kind of prescription from anywhere, the patient’s monthly salary will be gone. If you show up in Jin Yue's clinic, you will be called in for a talk by Jin Yue.
"It's not that expensive herbs can't be used. When the condition really requires it and there are no comparable substitutes, they can indeed be prescribed. Just control the dosage. Of course, it also depends on the specific situation. Some patients keep asking for expensive herbs, like that Wang Matt. He would be unhappy if we don't prescribe them. But as I mentioned before, this patient is a laid-off worker. When we prescribe medicine, we should try to use cheaper herbs instead." Zhao Wanqiu didn't like it when she saw it. Usually, the amount of a single prescription for her was less than two yuan, and she couldn't stand seeing such "cruel" treatment.
"He has too strong a gangster vibe, very similar to some of the quack doctors I've met before," Qi Peilan commented.
"The reason why folk Chinese medicine cannot develop is that there are too many people like this. They treat patients as fat sheep to be slaughtered. They don't open a business for three years, but they can make a living for three years after opening it."
Jin Yue was amused by her words. Isn’t Qi Jingtian the best among them? Now, he has a bad reputation in the Chinese medicine community and also has a bad reputation among patients.
Shu Jinyue even suspected that the doctor might think that she, as her boss, would be very happy because of his extraordinary "sales ability"?
She passed it directly.
The second prescription also diagnosed deficiency of Qi and blood, and also used Bazhen Decoction, but it was too rigid and dogmatic. The composition of the medicine he prescribed was exactly the same as in the textbook, not a single ingredient more or less. It would have been fine if he didn't know how to adapt, but even the dosage was exactly the same as in the textbook.
"But the actual situation is that the patient's qi deficiency is more serious, so we should add more qi-tonifying medicine as appropriate, rather than rigidly following the textbook dosage. If the patient says he has trouble sleeping, we should also add some medicine that nourishes the heart and calms the nerves and helps with sleep, such as sour jujube seeds, lotus seeds, and Polygonum multiflorum."
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes holistic conditioning. It is not enough to just treat the symptoms mentioned in the main complaint, but other discomforts also need to be taken into consideration.
Jin Yue hesitated for a moment, but finally gave the nod. What she needed was someone who could get started right away, not a novice who needed to be taught from beginning to end. Moreover, such new doctors were always a bit arrogant. It could be heard from the conversation just now that the junior brother was very arrogant and did not obey discipline very well.
"The last one is even more exaggerated. There are only a few words written on the prescription: blood transfusion 40???" Zhao Wanqiu doubted her eyes. "We are a traditional Chinese medicine clinic. How can we get blood transfusion?"
Moreover, the title clearly states, "If this patient comes to my clinic for treatment, as a doctor, what kind of traditional Chinese medicine treatment would you give?"
It turns out that with so many "Traditional Chinese Medicine" restrictions, he didn't even read a word and went straight for a physical blood transfusion using Western medicine! It doesn’t matter whether the clinic meets the requirements or not, right?
Not to mention that the patient's hemoglobin level in the auxiliary examination was far from reaching the level that required blood transfusion. If such treatment method is found by the Health Bureau, it would be considered as over-medicalization and the clinic would be held responsible.
In more serious cases, if a blood transfusion is given due to a disease that does not require a blood transfusion, and adverse reactions such as allergies and hemolysis occur during the process, or if an infectious disease such as hepatitis B or AIDS is contracted due to the blood transfusion, the responsibility will be even greater.
He might have studied Chinese medicine for too long and even got the classification of anemia wrong.
The three female comrades kept shaking their heads. What kind of doctors are these? Why are they so irregular? They are not even as good as Qi Peilan and Zhao Wanqiu. Strictly speaking, they are not from professional backgrounds.
"Forget it, let's wait and see. Don't tear up the doctor recruitment notice yet. Let's wait and see."
Jin Yue casually took out Aunt Wang's medical records and prescriptions during this period and checked them. By comparison, her body temperature had dropped very well. After treating both the inside and the outside, her temperature had returned to normal and had remained so for more than a week.
Jin Yue thought that it was time to let her stop taking the medicine, and then let her exercise more to replenish her vital energy. If she really wanted to take medicine, she could buy some Yupingfeng Granules.
Just as he was thinking about it, Mo Shuyi actually came. Jin Yue saw Yao Qingqing's red Chevrolet first, and then he saw him.
"Dr. Mo, what can I do for you?"
Mo Shuyi smiled, "Go ahead and smear me. I came to you today for something important."
He sat down on the chair opposite Jin Yue and said, "I heard from Teacher Shi Xuehai that Director Wang from Shanhe Province brought his wife to see you for treatment, right?"
Hey, Jin Yue was just looking at Aunt Wang’s information. He came at the right time.
"It's like this. I'm here with a mission from our dean. I heard that Director Wang wanted to resign, but the Shanhe Provincial Hospital wouldn't let him go. Our dean knew that we had a good personal relationship, so he immediately sent me here to lobby for Director Wang to come to our hospital."
Jin Yue raised her eyebrows. She had only found out a few days ago that Old Wang wanted to resign, and now he was extending such a big olive branch to her.
"You know the situation in our hospital. We have divided departments, but they are not detailed enough. I study cardiovascular medicine and also take care of hematology. It is difficult to explain to people that the 'blood' in cardiovascular medicine and the 'blood' in hematology are not the same thing. It would be great if Director Wang could come to our hospital!"
Shu Jinyue thought about it and it made sense. Qin Haiyang was still working in the gynecology department. It was unknown when the divisions in their hospital would be truly refined and allow professionals to do professional work.
"I'll try and let you know when the time comes."
Mo Shuyi was very grateful. "I heard from Qingqing that you are pregnant with twins. Remember not to get too tired and have a good rest."
Shu Jinyue waved at him and said, "Bring your little fat boy to play some other day."
＊＊＊
Just as Jin Yue was concentrating on thinking about how to talk to Old Wang, there was a "click-click-click" sound of high heels coming from the door. Xiao Tian came to the door of Jin Yue's office with a fashionable lady with short hair and a melon-shaped face. "Jin Yue, this lady said she wanted to see you. I told her that you were not attending the outpatient clinic today, and she said she was not here to see you for treatment, she was your friend."
She was a short-haired woman wearing a brown coat, wide-leg jeans, black pointed high heels, and a scarf with the logo of an international brand.
Shu Jinyue's gaze continued to move upwards, and suddenly stopped.
"Sister Hongping!"
"Jin Yue, are you busy?"
It turned out to be Wang Hongping, whom she hadn't seen for many years. No, to be precise, she hadn't seen him in two lifetimes. After Wang Hongping was admitted to university in her previous life, she never returned to Shijiagou. She only sent her some review materials and wrote her some letters of encouragement, but later because of the obstruction of Captain Shi's family, she never actually received them. A few months before the college entrance examination in this life, Jin Yue encouraged her to read and review, and prevented her from going home, thus avoiding the misfortune of her previous life. Later, after both of them went to college, they would contact each other every few months, but only by phone.
They haven't seen each other for many years.
Even when Jin Yue got married, she was unable to attend because her mother was critically ill, and she sent the gifts only later.
Wang Hongping has changed a lot. The educated youth who used to be dusty and shabby has now transformed into a fashionable urban girl, exuding confidence.
It would be strange if you don’t have confidence! When they talked on the phone a few months ago, Jin Yue learned that she was currently working in a very large financial institution in Haicheng, had reached a middle-level management position, and often flew around the world to attend meetings and study.
The two people who had once walked hand in hand together through difficult times suddenly held hands and hugged each other again.
They wanted to cry, wanted to laugh, wanted to look back on the past, wanted to recount their experiences over the years... In the end, they all just smiled at each other.
Wang Hongping raised her head, tears flashing in her eyes, "You have changed so much, I almost didn't recognize you."
Shu Jinyue deeply understands this sentence. She has been told this by many people. This is probably the result of her growth and progress over the years.
"Same to you, Devil City Girl."
"Last time you said you were unsuccessful in trying to get pregnant, but now your belly is so big. Congratulations."
Shu Jinyue remembered that the last time they spoke on the phone was before she went to Beijing. As a friend, Wang Hongping asked her why she didn't have children after so many years of marriage. She mentioned that it was not that she didn't want one, but that she had always failed to get pregnant.
Now, her belly is five months old.
"What brought you here?"
"I'm here to discuss a client, and I just wanted to come see you. I'm afraid you're in the clinic at this hour, so I came here on my own. You don't know how famous your clinic is now. I asked someone on the street, and they pointed me here."
"You're not bad either, you're using international brands."
Wang Hongping smiled and said, "I need to maintain my job status to maintain my appearance. Otherwise, who would like to spend such money?"
Jin Yue knows that although she is in the financial circle, she still maintains the hard-working and simple style of many years ago. She has not married yet, and a large part of her income is donated to girls in mountainous areas. I heard that she is doing some Hope Project in the past two years. Since Captain Shi was arrested, she has personally returned to Shijiagou and built a Hope Primary School for the children there.
"A torn scarf is enough to build a simple library for the children." Wang Hongping laughed at herself, "Are you free later? How about having dinner together?"
"That's for sure."
This was a gathering of old friends, a gathering of two women who had been reborn from the ashes. Jin Yue only told her mother and did not invite Xu Duan's family members. Just the two of them would be enough.
And at this party, Jin Yue found a good opportunity for himself.
