Chapter 137 Qingfanglou & Cuiguo's Hidden Skill & I Want to Pick It...
Behind the Qihuang Building are various testing and examination departments, offices, medical record rooms, and another golden signboard of Jinyue Hospital - the hemodialysis center!
This building has another name, Qingfang Building.
Grandma Sun has been dead for so many years that even her grandchildren don’t know her real name. It was Jin Yue who went to find Li Yulan and Li Xiangdong and checked a lot of information before he confirmed her real name - Li Qingfang.
A beautiful name, a name that the family had placed good wishes and expectations on. However, after she got married, it became "Ms. Li", "Aunt Sun", "Grandma Sun". The neighbors did not call her but someone else's name, her husband/son/grandson.
She wanted people to know that her name was Li Qingfang.
She also knew that without Grandma Li Qingfang's house and the rat hole, she would never have been able to open her own hospital in her early thirties. She named the hole Qingfang Building to thank and commemorate Ms. Li Qingfang.
In Qingfang Building, the dialysis center directly occupies a total of three floors. This was the condition agreed upon by Shu Jinyue and Lao Wang. Jinyue would give him whatever he wanted and which floors he wanted, no less, only more. She also did not set any KPIs for him. She only had two requirements - help her train a few apprentices, and he was not allowed to resign within five years unless there was force majeure.
After all, the last time this old man resigned was because the Shanhe Provincial Hospital did not agree, so he just quit his job on his own initiative and left without saying goodbye, leaving the department and the hospital in chaos.
Although he was forced to do so and it was understandable, as the manager of the hospital, Shu Jinyue was really afraid that he would repeat the same tricks, so there were these two hard conditions.
In fact, the area enclosed by the wall is very large, and it all belongs to Shu Jinyue's private hospital. There are just two large vacant lots that she hasn't figured out what to do with yet, and she doesn't have that much money for the time being, so she didn't build any buildings, but just made it into a large green garden with a riot of color. Surrounding the garden are rows of wooden chairs, which are convenient for patients and their families to wait for treatment and also provide everyone with a pleasant resting area.
Jin Yue even planned to open some small shops, fruit shops, flower shops, gift shops and the like in the surrounding areas. These peripheral businesses would definitely be handed over to her second brother and his wife in the future. After all, they lent her 500,000 yuan but did not want any shares. They even did not want interest according to the bank rate.
Of course, Cuiguo and Hu Rongsheng were not very interested in these modern Western medical examination equipment and departments. They just looked at them for a while and prepared to leave.
Shu Jinyue immediately offered to treat them to a meal to welcome them.
Hu Rongsheng was worried that Cuiguo would not agree, so he looked at her cautiously. However, Cuiguo showed a cheerful smile, contrary to her usual behavior: "Then we will respectfully obey your command."
They went to Yimin Restaurant again and ordered light and easy-to-digest dishes suitable for the elderly. After many years, Cuiguo's eyes turned red when she ate the familiar hometown dishes again.
Jin Yue remembered Grandma Hu's instructions and said to her solemnly: "Aunt Cuiguo, this glass of wine is for you. Congratulations on your new life, and welcome to return to your hometown again after many years."
Cuiguo raised her head and drank it all in one gulp.
"I'll offer you this glass of wine to apologize to you in the name of Grandma Hu. She has always regretted letting you go out to buy cakes. She felt guilty about you. Before she died, she held my hand and told me to find you and apologize to you in person. I'm sorry." Shu Jinyue bowed deeply.
Cuiguo helped her up, "Alright, I never blamed you, Miss. The general environment was like that back then. Even if nothing happened then, there was no guarantee that something would happen later. At least at that time I was just one person, I went wherever people told me to go, and I didn't have any weaknesses that could be taken advantage of... The world is like that, it's not anyone's fault."
As soon as the conversation started, Jin Yue saw that she looked frank, so he could boldly talk to her about his experience in Taocheng, "How is the climate in Taocheng? Can you adapt to it?"
"It is actually very similar to the Book City. Except for the different longitudes, the latitudes are the same, and even the terrain is highly similar. Taocheng is a water town on the plateau, and the Book City is also very similar because of the Haizi Lake, whether in temperature, air flow, wind direction, precipitation, or humidity."
At this point, she laughed, "Do you know Korean ginseng? My grandfather tried to grow it in the Hu family's medicine garden before, but I don't know what was wrong, the quality was not as good as that of the Korean Peninsula. As a result, I tried to plant a little in Taocheng a few years ago, and the current growth trend is quite encouraging. I know it's not the climate that's wrong, but that the old man was too impatient and planted it too early... It must be chosen in the early morning about ten days after the Waking of Insects, and it cannot be..." blah blah.
She spoke with great interest, and Hu Rongsheng listened with admiration, except Jin Yue who frowned.
She is sure that there is no Korean ginseng in Taocheng at present. So, will the world-famous high-quality Korean ginseng in Taocheng fifty years be grown by Cuiguo? !
In her previous life, she didn’t know that such a person existed. Taocheng became the most famous ginseng planting base in the world. In this life, she knew it, right... The key point is that Shucheng and Taocheng are indeed two cities with highly similar natural conditions!
Looking at Hu Rongsheng again, he was staring at Cuiguo calmly, with a smile on his face, making people feel like they were in a spring breeze, and the love in his eyes was about to overflow.
Hey, this old guy is still being stubborn, talking about family and good friends on the phone... If there is really no love, what has supported him to look for it for so many years regardless of the consequences and cost? Climb mountains and sail seas, and spend all your wealth.
If Cuiguo and her husband were in love and lived a happy life, Jin Yue would be fine, but she was not happy in the first half of her life. Her husband was a domestic violence man and they had no feelings for each other. She has been a widow for so many years. Currently, Hu Rongsheng is unmarried to her and she is a widow, so it is not illegal to pursue her!
But Jin Yue gave Hu Rongsheng several looks, but he didn't notice and was only busy picking up food for Cuiguo.
"This is delicious, try it."
"That one suits your taste, try it."
"See if this still tastes the same as before."
Shu Jinyue: “…”Uncle Hu, you should act quickly! !
Jin Yue suppressed her thoughts, chatted for a while, and observed for a while. Seeing that he was just talking about irrelevant things, Jin Yue became anxious. She could only ask Cuiguo where she lived and how long she would stay.
"It's not certain yet. If I were alone, I could live anywhere."
Shu Jinyue's heart moved, and he saw Hu Rongsheng's ears slightly red after hearing this, so he said: "Then you can come back and stay here. Don't worry, I will take care of the accommodation."
Hu Rongsheng held his breath, not daring to look at Cuiguo, and only stared at the braised pork in the dish.
"Since I have accepted Grandma Hu's book, I will fulfill her wish to take care of you."
"That's not necessary. I have several cousins here, and they have been taking care of my house."
Cuiguo hadn't contacted this place for so many years. At the beginning, they were separated by half of Longguo, and she really had no way to do it. Later, after she got married, she was often abused at home. Even when she went out to buy vegetables, she had to be "watched". She had no chance and didn't know who to contact. Later, her husband passed away, and she had no chance to breathe. She had to support the family and raise her children, and then her children passed away one after another... Her longing for her relatives in the book city faded.
This time when she came back, she visited her cousins. They were all still alive and well. Their old house was well maintained, and they all hoped that she could come back to live there.
"But I am not alone now. My daughter-in-law and her family live with me."
It turned out that when her son died, he left no son or daughter. She had tried her best to encourage her daughter-in-law to remarry, but her daughter-in-law felt sorry for her being alone and was unwilling to remarry, saying that she would take care of her and provide for her in her old age. After several years of persuasion, her daughter-in-law finally agreed to remarry, but she was unwilling to leave home. She married a live-in son-in-law who treated her like his own mother.
Now she lives with their family, their family is harmonious and their days are warm. If she leaves them and comes back alone, she would feel reluctant.
"So that's how it is." Jin Yue felt that the fate between people in this world was so wonderful. In many families, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were like natural enemies, but in Cuiguo's family, they were as close as mother and daughter.
Hu Rongsheng's eyes were full of heartache and he remained silent.
"My cooking skills are just in need of a successor, so I might as well pass it on to her. Now she's working as a temporary worker at Taocheng Medicinal Materials Company, so she can be considered to have a job."
Shu Jinyue frowned. According to Grandma Hu and Hu Rongsheng, Cuiguo's craftsmanship was the culmination of their Hu family's skills. If she taught her all, her daughter-in-law should not be bad either. It was such a waste that such a great master could only be a temporary worker!
What a waste of resources!
Moreover, Cuiguo is also trying to grow Korean ginseng! Korean ginseng costs thousands of yuan per gram. Even drugs in the world are not as expensive as this one!
She said directly: "Aunt Cuiguo, why don't you all come here and build a medicinal garden by yourself."
Medicine garden is the old name. In Japan, people call it Chinese medicinal materials planting base, which provides one-stop service from seedlings to finished medicinal preparations. In the future, the best base for Japanese Chinese medicinal materials manufacturers will be built in Longguo, and the standards will be set by them.
Shu Jinyue really wanted to ask, why?
Why can't the Dragon Kingdom's ancestors keep their own wisdom, experience and wealth? It would be fine if they just worked for them, but they have to make the rules of the game for them. Isn't this bullying?
Jin Yue had been quite dissatisfied with this matter before, but there was nothing she could do. She was weak and could only treat patients. Even if she raised her arms and shouted, she couldn't get a lot of responses. So before this minute, she had never thought of doing it herself.
But after seeing Cui Guo, she realized that Korean ginseng was just an opportunity and a weapon for her to go out into the world.
She decided that no matter what the cost, she must keep Cuiguo, and she would also love her daughter-in-law and her family as well.
Cuiguo listened to her suggestion, and it was hard to tell whether she was interested or not. She just said, "This matter is too complicated. I need to think about it. I just came back recently and I'm quite busy. Can I give you an answer after I'm done with this?"
sure!
After parting at the hotel entrance, Shu Jinyue almost ran home at a skipping pace. She had to find a way to keep this golden phoenix!
"Look at what you are busy with. You are still on maternity leave, but you are running outside every day. When you start working next week, you won't be able to go home, right?" Teacher Shu shook his head and sighed.
Shu Jinyue didn't have time to explain. She teased the moon and stars for a while, then went back to the room and thought about the matter attentively.
First of all, she wanted Hu Rongsheng to invite Cuiguo to the clinic to take a closer look. Jin Yue believed that she had done a good job in inheriting the culture of traditional Chinese medicine, and everyone who came here would be impressed.
There are few old craftsmen like this who are only interested in money. What they do is about feelings. Therefore, Jin Yue decided to play the emotional card for her, letting her know that he is really serious about Chinese medicine and is a successor of Chinese medicine, not a businessman.
If it really doesn't work, let Hu Rongsheng use some "beauty trick", maybe he can keep Cuiguo... Well, the success rate won't be too high, because Cuiguo looks like a career woman, not the kind of woman who indulges in love.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with liking to fall in love, and Jin Yue also hopes that she can be more "love-brained"! She had such a hard life in the first half of her life. Let her have a few years of sweetness. This is what God owes her.
In the evening, Xu Duan came back, washed up, and then brought his daughter and son to the kang. Jin Yue applied a facial mask while playing with them.
"By the way, has the case of Lao Limei come to a conclusion?"
"Yes, she has been sentenced. In the past ten years, she has been roaming between Ganchun City in Ganxi Province and Shucheng City in Shilan Province, committing crimes. She has abducted and sold one woman and seven children, including the child in Xinghua Hutong that year."
Shu Jinyue's heart tightened. There were so many? ! Sister Lao, who looks gentle and charming, has actually harmed so many children and destroyed so many families! It's too easy for her to be cut into pieces!
It's a pity that such a person can still be alive in prison. I suspect that she has not yet explained the case and clues, and I am afraid that some children who could have been found will be completely cut off from the clues. There must be various considerations in sentencing.
"The family found her and confronted her. It was indeed she who abducted the child. She took the child away while the child's grandmother went out to buy floral fabrics and hid the child in an abandoned factory near the free market. She sent the child out of town after dark. Later, she heard that the child's family in the city was looking for him, so she did not return home. This is what left her suspicious."
"Did she tell us where the child was sold to?"
"She has said everything she claims to know. Based on all the clues, it should be soon."
Shu Jinyue breathed a sigh of relief, this was pretty good!
"In order not to alert the suspect, the case has not been made public yet. If anyone asks, don't tell them."
"Of course, I have a zipper mouth." Jin Yue made a gesture and turned to look at his two babies.
Their eyes are big, round and black. No wonder literary works describe children's eyes as black grapes, because they really look like them.
"At first glance, the brother and sister seem to be exactly the same, but when we see them every day, we find that they are still different. Little Moon's eyelashes are longer, and Little Star's eyebrows are thicker."
Xu Duan came over to take a look and said, "That's right, but the weight is different. The younger brother has caught up with his older sister and is a little heavier than her now."
Little Xingxing is a big eater. He now drinks 30 milliliters more milk than his sister at each meal. But they are intentionally controlling this, as they are afraid that he will vomit milk if he drinks too much at one time. If he eats as much as he wants, he will probably be even fatter than he is now.
Little Moon is the type who drinks milk in a very Buddhist way. When she is hungry, she won't cry like her younger brother. She will stop drinking on her own when she has drunk a certain amount. She doesn't drink as much as she can like her younger brother.
"From what I've seen so far, my sister's personality is like yours, and my brother's personality should be like mine." Jin Yue deliberately moved the white-faced man closer to scare them, but unfortunately they didn't know what fear was. They just opened their big eyes and stared at her blankly.
Xu Duan found it funny and held her in his arms, "What did you gain from meeting Cuiguo today?" His big hands lingered on her waist, pinching it gently twice, and then reaching in to scratch it twice.
Jin Yue suddenly softened, "The child is still here, be serious."
Xu Duan wasn't actually that beastly. He just couldn't help wanting to get closer. "Well, go on."
Jin Yue quickly told what happened today, "I really want to keep Aunt Cuiguo, but it seems that there is nothing in Book City that is worth her staying too much. On the contrary, Taocheng is where her two children were born and grew up, and she feels more at home there."
Xu Duan touched the stubble on his chin and said, "Then think of a way to increase the bargaining chips of the bookstore in her mind."
"I think so too, but how to do it is a problem."
"However, regarding the Chinese herbal medicine planting base, your hospital has not yet started, so you can't be distracted by it for the time being. Wait for two years. In two years, perhaps the situation will be completely different."
Shu Jinyue actually knew that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. If you spread your business too wide, it is easy to lose sight of the beginning and end, which may end up in failure. The hospital has already spent so much money, but has not seen any profit so far. If she wants to set up another big business, she has neither the capital nor the energy. If both fail, she will be heavily in debt.
Thinking of these consequences, she realized: "I was too impatient."
Seeing that the two children had fallen asleep and stopped making noise, Xu Duan packed up his washbasin and towel and prepared to take a cold shower. "Well, there's no need to rush this year. If she wants to go back to Taocheng, let her go. You should sort out the hospital affairs first and we can talk about it in a year or two."
Building a Chinese herbal medicine planting base requires not only money but also energy, and its difficulty is even far greater than running a hospital.
***
For the next period of time, Jin Yue did not lobby Cuiguo frequently. He just asked Hu Rongsheng to invite her to the clinic as a "guest" to visit and see the clinic's TCM environment and atmosphere, everyone's work enthusiasm, and the harmonious and unique doctor-patient relationship.
"It's no exaggeration to say that our clinic has been open for so many years, and there has never been a medical accident or medical dispute. We only get into arguments with patients four or five times a year," Xiaotian said to Cuiguo.
Just these four or five times, all happened to one person.
Zhao Wanqiu's temper has improved a little in recent years, but there are still times when she can't control herself. Fortunately, she is always right, and there are others who help to explain and smooth things over. In the end, the patients can shake hands with her and make peace. Later, these patients also became her loyal fans.
"We can treat all kinds of diseases here. We can also do acupuncture injections and obstetrics. Look at the couple opposite, they are here for acupuncture injections."
Xiaotian was talking about the infertile couple whose treatment was delayed by Qi Jingtian that year. Their twins are now almost half a year old. Since then, they have become loyal fans of Jinyue Clinic. The whole family only comes here when they feel unwell, and they want to be the first to experience any diagnosis and treatment projects launched by the clinic.
"They are farmers in the countryside. Their legs are always in water and they have severe rheumatism. After using Dr. Shu's xue site injection treatment, the effect is very obvious."
"What's in the injection?"
Xiaotian smiled and said: "We keep the specific ingredients confidential, but they are all Chinese herbal ingredients that can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and dispel wind and dredge meridians."
“Will there be hormones?”
"That's definitely not the case. Ours are all made of Chinese herbal ingredients." After all, Oda is not a medical student, and being able to say just a few words is already the limit. If she goes any deeper, she will go into the blind spot of her knowledge.
She was a little anxious, and quickly looked towards the pharmacy, hoping that someone could come to help her explain. However, the pharmacists were busy preparing medicine like a spinning top, and did not even look over here. Instead, someone came in from the door -
"Brother Lixin, come and talk to Auntie about the injection."
Qi Lixin was covered in dust and dirt, but he tried to cheer himself up and put on a forced smile, "Auntie, please sit here for a while. I'll introduce it to you. What do you want to know about?"
Cuiguo asked about some commonly used ones, such as rheumatism, spleen and stomach diseases, and menstrual disorders, all of which are diseases for which x-ray injections are more effective. She asked carefully and professionally, and Qi Lixin answered very carefully, especially after discovering that she seemed to be a professional, his attitude became even more rigorous.
As the two were talking, a few people suddenly came in noisily. When Qi Lixin saw the figure he had been dreaming about, he immediately perked up: "Auntie, please wait a moment."
"Comrade Tian, you are here. What can I do for you?"
Tian Meizhi had just rejected his confession yesterday, and now she felt a little embarrassed, "I'm looking for Jin Yue, oh no, it's Boss Wang who's looking for Jin Yue."
Wang Matt and his secretary were surrounded by three people in cadre uniforms. "Boss Wang, this is the clinic of Dr. Shu you are looking for. Please take a rest first. Hey, someone from the clinic, go get Dr. Shu. Boss Wang wants to see her."
These words, like a king or noble summoning his subordinates, were not something that people in the clinic liked to hear. To be honest, things are not like before. This is a new society. So what if you are an official? People will not flatter you just because you are an official. Besides, there are countless cadres who have higher ranks than them who have come to their Jinyue Clinic, but no one of them has ever ordered Dr. Shu around like this.
In fact, people were so polite and respectful to Dr. Shu, so who did they think they were?
The attitudes of these three officers are really unpleasant.
So, no one went to call him, but just greeted Wang Matt very familiarly: "Boss Wang, why are you here again today?"
Before Wang Mate could say anything, one of the staff members immediately rebuked him, "How do you talk to our foreign businessman like that? Mr. Wang is a foreign businessman that our province values very much. He is related to the economic construction of our province and even the whole country. Your behavior of dragging us down is so obvious. We..."
"Alright, alright, stop talking." Wang Matt frowned, "Don't disturb Dr. Shu's treatment. I know where to wait. You can go back."
"wait?"
"Doctor Shu hasn't finished seeing the patient yet, so of course we have to wait."
"Mr. Foreigner's time is so precious. Dr. Shu is really ignorant. Let's go and call her out immediately."
Wang Matt was so angry that he laughed, "Who do you think I am? I am nothing in front of Dr. Shu. I visited her three times to ask her for help with my medical treatment."
The staff members' smiles froze. "So you already know Dr. Shu. That makes it easier to discuss. If she knew you were willing to invest in her hospital, she would be very happy."
Shu Jinyue actually heard the noise. She had just finished seeing a patient and came out to get some water. When she heard these words, her brows furrowed. Capital injection?
When Tian Meizhi saw her, she immediately avoided Qi Lixin's fiery gaze and said, "Jin Yue, Boss Wang wants to discuss something with you."
"Doctor Shu, would you mind chatting for a moment?"
Jin Yue turned around and said to the patient waiting for treatment: "Wait for me for five minutes."
She only gave Wang Matt five minutes to see what tricks he would play next.
I say he was playing tricks because he made a big fuss the day after she was discharged from the hospital after giving birth - he actually had people beat drums and gongs and carried dozens of boxes of various high-end supplements and seafood to Liuye Hutong, including abalone, lobster, fish maw and bird's nest. To the inland people who only knew about royal jelly, these were things they had never heard of.
The young men in red clothes walked around beating gongs and drums and shouting, "Congratulations to Dr. Shu Jinyue on the birth of his precious son and daughter. May the dragon and phoenix be auspicious!"
"The dragon soars in the prosperous times, and the phoenix dances in the sky!"
The shouting could be heard clearly even in several nearby alleys!
Then, dozens of boxes with ice cubes were wrapped in red silk, which illuminated the courtyard of No. 16 with a red glow. That was not all, he also had someone send two huge golden longevity locks weighing more than half a pound, and two pairs of small golden bracelets with dragons and phoenixes carved on them...
The people in Liuye Hutong really didn’t know the value of high-end supplements and seafood, but as for the gold locks and bracelets, everyone with eyes could tell the value. Suddenly, the entire Liuye Hutong came out in full force, and the streets were deserted.
Shu Jinyue couldn't stand it anymore, especially those tacky and awkward congratulatory speeches. She was really dipping her toes on the ground. They had the nerve to shout them out, but she was too embarrassed to even listen! What dragons and phoenixes? She quickly told those people to shut up and carry the things back the same way they had brought them.
Because of his tricks, Jin Yue had to announce to the public that he would close the door and refuse to see anyone, but it still couldn't stop the gifts from everyone from piling up like a mountain.
Compared with the gifts that he could afford to repay, what Wang Matt did was not giving a gift, it was giving a knife.
Wang Matt just couldn't understand it. He was obviously congratulating with good intentions, but how could he have offended Dr. Shu and made him so angry that he called him to scold him. In their Hong Kong city, if a boss's family has a son, they will hold a grand ceremony to announce it to the whole of Hong Kong, with partners and relatives giving gifts. The bigger the ceremony, the happier the boss is and the more face he has. He really couldn't understand what Dr. Shu was angry about.
Just like now, he couldn't understand why Dr. Shu seemed even angrier after hearing that he wanted to inject capital into her hospital.
Shu Jinyue was just about to scold him. She didn't care if he was Zhang Mate or Liu Mate, she would not let anyone off easily if he tried to take advantage of her. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard a "yue" sound. One of the three clerks suddenly leaned over the trash can and spit.
Jin Yue was so angry just now that he didn't notice that he was feeling unwell. When he saw him vomiting, he just thought he had eaten something bad and had gastroenteritis.
When gastroenteritis strikes, vomiting is just like coughing, you can't help it. Jin Yue didn't blame him. She was just about to ask someone to take the trash can away and clean it, when suddenly, she noticed that the color of the vomit in the trash can was wrong.
It’s actually brown!
