After dinner, the rain was still falling outside, and it was getting heavier.
At the enthusiastic invitation of the Yu family, Wang Shuisu and Feng Sisi decided to stay overnight.
In this way, Wang Shuisu can rush to the herbal medicine company with Qingning tomorrow.
As for Feng Sisi, she hasn't done anything serious yet. She likes to play and make trouble, and doesn't want to go back to be controlled by her parents.
Zhou Mo didn't have to rush home so early because home was only a few steps away...
Feng Sisi and Shui Su first learned self-defense techniques from Qing Ning and Zhou Mo for at most half an hour, and then they didn't want to move anymore.
Afterwards, Shui Su, Feng Sisi, and Zhou Mo gathered around the coffee table and learned tea art from Qing Ning.
Qing Ning sat upright and demonstrated to everyone meticulously the actions of making tea, tasting tea, and pouring tea that she had learned during the socialite training.
Yu Zhiming had to admit that Qingning's tea art display was as smooth as flowing water and quite beautiful, and even made the tea in the cup more fragrant.
"Qing Ning, you have this tea art, but I've never seen you use it seriously when making tea at home?"
Qing Ning chuckled and said, "This so-called tea art is just for showing off and pretending to be cool. Why should we be so particular when drinking tea among family members?"
Feng Sisi chuckled and said, "Another important use is for performing when the parents-in-law come to visit."
Shui Su asked, "Qing Ning, are you proficient in tea art, red wine tasting, art appreciation, opera and ballet appreciation, etc.?"
Qing Ning shook her head and said with a smile, "I can't say I'm proficient at all. I was just pressured by my mom to attend a few training courses. I only have a superficial understanding of many things, which is enough to fool the layman."
Just then, Qingning's cell phone rang.
She answered the call, spoke a few words to the other party, and said in a calm tone: "In that case, forget it."
"Let's go out for tea sometime."
Qing Ning ended the call and explained to Shui Su and the others, "I'd like to ask the erhu player from the national orchestra for some pointers on Zhiming."
"I asked someone to set me up, but he had a lot of rules. He said he wouldn't provide on-site guidance and I had to go to his studio at a set time."
Yu Zhiming said: "Qing Ning, I told you."
"Given my erhu playing ability, it would be a waste to ask someone from a national orchestra to teach me. Asking a senior erhu student from a music college would be more than enough."
Qing Ning chuckled and said, "I was thinking, if I'm going to find you, I'm going to find you a good one. I want your erhu skills to improve significantly."
She said obediently, "I'll listen to you from now on and find a senior music student who's learning the erhu."
Wang Shuisu said slowly: "If I were that erhu player, I would take this job even if I didn't ask for money."
"Having this relationship with Brother Zhiming is enough to benefit myself and my family for the rest of my life."
She then asked, "Did the person who introduced us fail to clearly explain Brother Zhiming's identity?"
Qing Ning said thoughtfully: "Maybe!"
Feng Sisi commented, "That middleman must have failed to communicate properly. With my cousin's husband's abilities, I wonder how many people have tried to curry favor with him but haven't been able to."
“Even if that person is an erhu player, can he ensure that he and his family will never get sick?”
"There's no reason to turn down such a great opportunity."
Yu Zhiming said modestly, "Don't overestimate my fame and influence. Only a very small number of people in society know me."
"Also, as a folk music performer, you have no shortage of social status and money, and you won't be short of medical connections either."
"It's perfectly normal to ignore me."
Shui Su looked at Yu Zhiming and smiled, "Brother Zhiming, from what you said, I can see that you are not proud or arrogant at all."
Yu Zhiming laughed heartily and said, "I haven't reached the point where I can remain calm despite all the admiration and honor I've seen. I'm still a bit conceited and arrogant, but I'm just hiding it deep enough that you haven't noticed."
"My eldest sister always says that I am getting cocky again."
Qing Ning pretended to whisper, "Zhiming's eyes aren't as long as his head. This is mainly thanks to his parents, and his eldest sister who constantly warns him not to get carried away when he's too proud."
"Let's put it this way. Zhiming's growth to where he is today is largely due to his family's education."
Shui Su, Zhou Mo and Feng Sisi all nodded in agreement.
Next, under Qingning's explanation and guidance, the three of them each practiced the art of tea.
Yu Zhiming was also honored to drink the first cup of tea they brewed with the help of tea art...
After 8:30 in the evening, Yu Zhiming received a call from Mr. Qin in Beijing.
"Doctor Yu, how do you feel?"
"Thank you, Mr. Qin, for your concern. I have fully recovered and will be able to return to work at full capacity as usual tomorrow."
Yu Zhiming introduced him and asked directly, "Mr. Qin, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
Mr. Qin sighed softly during the call and said, "Doctor Yu, I have some bad news for you."
"Look, I just got some solid news tonight. The Chu family is going to cooperate with the Xia family."
"The Chu family and the Xia family are cooperating?"
Yu Zhiming repeated it, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "Mr. Qin, the bad news you mentioned, could it be that they are working together to make the Ginseng Life-Sustaining Pill?"
"We have an agreement that Old Man Xia is not allowed to leak it, and he is not allowed to make it himself!"
Old Qin sighed again and said, "The news I received is that the Chu and Xia families are collaborating to produce a very advanced ginseng pill that is said to have the effect of bringing the dead back to life."
"Ginseng Revitalizing Pills? Ginseng Life-Sustaining Pills!" Yu Zhiming's face darkened and he angrily asked, "How dare Old Man Xia do such a presumptuous thing?"
Elder Qin said slowly, "Recipes like Dr. Wang's Ginseng Life-Sustaining Pills and our Qin family's Ginseng Longevity Pills are recipes that our ancestors have explored and perfected over generations."
"It would be extremely difficult for us today to create a recipe with such efficacy."
After a pause, he explained, "Although the Xia family is famous for its various tonics and is renowned for its use of ginseng, as far as I know, they have never had a top-notch tonic recipe with the same efficacy as the Ginseng Life-Sustaining Pills."
"I haven't heard of any similar recipes from the Chu family."
Yu Zhiming interrupted, "So, this so-called Ginseng Heaven-Restoring Pill they're collaborating on is definitely the Ginseng Life-Sustaining Pill, just with a different name?"
Elder Qin explained, "It shouldn't be as simple as just changing the name. With Old Man Xia's mastery of various tonics, and Old Man Chu's assistance, if we make some minor changes to the recipe for the Ginseng Life-Sustaining Pills, we should be able to do it."
Yu Zhiming asked worriedly, "Master Qin, if this is the case, won't it be difficult to stop and punish them?"
Old Qin sighed and said, "This requires some arguing. They can find a record in an ancient book, or a so-called fragment of an ancient prescription, as the origin of the Ginseng Huitian Pill."
"Unless we can find unique evidence."
The next moment, Old Qin blamed himself again: "Doctor Yu, this is mainly my fault. I don't know how to recognize people and understand them well."
Yu Zhiming advised, "Master Qin, you don't need to blame yourself. Who would have thought that such a great master of traditional Chinese medicine would do such a shameless and despicable thing?"
"Um, does Doctor Wang know?"
Elder Qin said on the phone, "Not yet. Let me tell you first, and then I'll contact Doctor Wang to discuss countermeasures."
After a pause, he continued, "Doctor Yu, if the Chu and Xia families cooperate like this, then they will have a way to sell the large amount of wild ginseng they collected before."
"Our wishful thinking has been dashed."
Yu Zhiming said nonchalantly, "If it fails, it fails. With my current efficiency in treating advanced cancer, four or five wild ginsengs over fifty years old a year are more than enough."
"With this level of demand, even if the Chu and Xia families join forces, they can't strangle us. We don't have to worry about a price war..."
After finishing the call with Mr. Qin, Yu Zhiming saw Shui Su, Qing Ning and Zhou Mo were filled with indignation.
Zhou Mo said indignantly, "The Xia family is truly shameless. Doctor Yu, you are now a popular figure in the eyes of the government and the military. Can you use them to put pressure on the Xia family?"
Yu Zhiming pondered and said, "Whether this so-called Ginseng Huitian Pill is a pirated version of the Ginseng Xuming Pill, we don't have any concrete evidence yet. We can only rely on speculation and analysis."
"It would be difficult to ask the government or military to take action based on this speculation and analysis alone."
"The Xia family and the Chu family's connections should also be strong."
Yu Zhiming said solemnly, "Wait until they officially release the Ginseng Huitian Pills, and we find some solid evidence, and then seek justice through various channels including the judiciary, government, and military."
Qing Ning also said fiercely: "Zhi Ming, if the evidence is conclusive this time, we must not let him off easily."
"If the Xia family isn't seriously injured, or even devastated, they won't realize that someone is someone they shouldn't mess with."
Yu Zhiming couldn't help but ask, "Qing Ning, the person you're talking about who can't be provoked is me, right? I'm not that powerful, am I?"
“You provoked my Chu family, but they are still doing fine!”
Qing Ning waved his little fist and said, "It's just that the time has not come yet."
"Just like in the molestation incident, those who framed you are now getting their comeuppance."
"Also, any hospital leaders and doctors who disagree with you will either be fired or arrested. No one will be left unharmed."
"It's only a matter of time before the Chu and Xia families meet with disaster."
Zhou Mo nodded and agreed, "That's right. Anyone who doesn't get along with Doctor Yu will inevitably fall."
"Doctor Yu, you have done your best to treat illnesses and save lives. You have saved so many people. You must be blessed by great merits in the dark."
"Those who treat you badly and want to deal with you will naturally be doomed to misfortune and suffer great misfortune."
Yu Zhiming rolled his eyes and said, "You still want great merit and blessings? You are too idealistic."
Wang Shuisu said softly: "Good people are rewarded, it has been like this since ancient times..."
