At around 5:30 in the afternoon, Yu Zhiming finished all his work at Ning'an Hospital and took a stretcher home with Qing Ning.
Yu Zhiming sat in the back seat and closed his eyes for a while, then he felt a pair of small hands gently pressing on his head.
"I'm fine today, not too tired."
As Yu Zhiming spoke, he held Qing Ning's hands and asked, "When will my parents arrive for tomorrow's meeting?"
Qing Ning said softly, "Around ten o'clock. My dad said he wanted to play a few games of chess with your dad."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said softly.
Qing Ning then asked, "Zhi Ming, are you worried that all the wild ginseng older than fifty years old will be bought by the Jingcheng Chu family?"
Yu Zhiming sighed softly and said, "I am a little worried."
"I didn't expect them to be so well-informed and ruthless. They actually raised the price to three or five million."
"Compared to last year, the price has soared twentyfold. Anyone lucky enough to stock up on three or five trees will instantly achieve financial freedom."
Qing Ning said angrily, "The Chu family must have bribed one of the medical staff in the ward today. Otherwise, they wouldn't have received the news and responded so quickly."
"However, we can offer a higher price than them. Ning'an Group can still afford hundreds of millions in cash."
Yu Zhiming shook his head slightly and said, "There's no need for that. This would be considered vicious competition. Although we can pass the costs on to patients, there's really no need for that."
"We have ginseng pills and ginseng. If we consume fifteen pills a month, we can still sustain for a year and a half."
Yu Zhiming analyzed: "A year and a half is enough time for Elder Qin, Elder Ye and the others to achieve a breakthrough."
Qing Ning snorted, "The Chu family suddenly raised the price so high, probably because they were sure we would follow suit and grab the ginseng."
"If we don't follow up, I don't think they can maintain this price for long."
"Can we wait until the price is cheaper before buying?"
Yu Zhiming laughed and said, "You're dreaming. You think wild ginseng that's over fifty years old is like a carrot? You have everything you need."
"The Chu family's high-priced acquisitions should be able to buy up all the wild ginseng on the market."
Qing Ning reached out and rubbed Yu Zhiming's furrowed brows, then said soothingly, "They say there's always a way out when you reach the mountain. And, you're best at finding problems."
"As for how to solve the problem, Zhiming, you are not alone now. There are many people who are willing to help you solve your problems and fight for you."
Qing Ning thought of something else and said, "Also, Zhiming, are you an organized person with a powerful backing?"
Yu Zhiming nodded and chuckled, "You're right. I just need to do my best."
"If alternative medicines can't solve the problem, the worst that can happen is that patients with advanced cancer can bring their own wild ginseng to see me."
"There are patients with extraordinary powers who are giving the Chu family a headache."
At this time, Yu Zhiming's cell phone rang.
It was a call from the drug king, Mr. Liu.
"Doctor Yu, regarding the treatment of Fang Xiaoman's lupus, I have decided to use your judgment. After all, your understanding of the body is unparalleled, and you haven't made any mistakes yet."
Yu Zhiming advised cautiously, "Mr. Liu, you can't be superstitious about me. Just because I didn't make mistakes before doesn't mean I won't make mistakes this time."
"You are the expert in the treatment of lupus."
Mr. Liu smiled and said during the call, "A person who has been successful repeatedly has a very high chance of succeeding again. That's what Fang Xiaoman told me."
"She's willing to give it a try, and I can't prove you wrong, so let's go for it."
He added hopefully, "If your judgment proves to be correct, then what I said last time about successfully curing seventy or even seven hundred people may not be an extravagant hope."
After a pause, Elder Liu continued on the phone, "Doctor Yu, I need to tell you something. In the formal treatment of lupus erythematosus, acupuncture is also needed to stimulate blood circulation and stimulate body functions."
Yu Zhiming let out a soft "oh".
Dr. Liu's medicine can paralyze the heart, and acupuncture can stimulate the heart rate and improve blood circulation, which is also a symptomatic measure.
The next moment, Elder Liu continued on the phone and asked, "Doctor Yu, when is a convenient time for you?"
Yu Zhiming pondered and said, "If we follow my judgment, the treatment will take a long time, and we will have to monitor the patient constantly to prevent any problems with the heart and other internal organs."
He thought about it again and said, "Tuesday night."
"Okay, Tuesday night."
Elder Liu replied, and then said, "Doctor Yu, as your elder, I will definitely not let your efforts go in vain."
"When the time comes, I will prepare two high-quality wild ginsengs that are over fifty years old as a thank you."
Yu Zhiming declined, "Mr. Liu, this is too expensive. According to the price the Chu family quoted today, it's worth at least six million."
Old Liu laughed and said, "A year ago, these two ginsengs would have only cost two or three hundred thousand. The most important thing is that they can play a greater role in your hands."
After a pause, Elder Liu asked again, "Doctor Yu, are you really determined not to allow us to follow up on the purchase of wild ginseng?"
"With the connections and network of channels that we old guys have, the Chu family may not be able to outbid us at the same price."
Yu Zhiming explained: "If we follow this price, perhaps the Chu family will raise the price again."
"There's no need to drive up the price of ginseng like this."
He reiterated, "I have absolute confidence that you will eventually succeed in developing an alternative drug."
Elder Liu chuckled and said, "Doctor Yu, we won't let you down. Just wait for our good news..."
Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning returned to their home in Junshan Mansion after seven o'clock in the evening and found the house very lively.
Not only were Xiaoxue and Zeng Yan chattering away, but Feng Sisi was also at home.
More importantly, Feng Sisi also picked up a small black and gray wild cat.
"Brother-in-law, this kitten is dragging one of its hind legs and meowing non-stop. It makes me feel sorry for it."
"I brought it here."
Feng Sisi held the docile kitten in her hands, showed it to Yu Zhiming, and said, "Brother-in-law, look how well-behaved it is."
Qing Ning couldn't help but criticize, "Sisi, you're messing around again. Stray cats have a lot of bacteria and parasites on them."
Yu Zhiming saw Feng Sisi pouting and said with a smile, "There's nothing wrong with being kind and caring for small animals."
"Let me take a look..."
Yu Zhiming put on medical gloves, took the kitten and began to examine it.
The cat seemed to know that Yu Zhiming was helping it, so it cooperated very well and didn't move around.
After Yu Zhiming finished his examination, he said, "Its left hind leg is fractured. Judging from the injury, it's been broken for about two days."
"Also, it's a female cat. She must have given birth four or five days ago."
Amidst the surprise of Feng Sisi, Xiaoxue, and Zeng Yan, Yu Zhiming continued, "I'll fix its leg bones, then you can let it go. Otherwise, its baby will be in danger..."
It is true that all things have spirits. When Yu Zhiming was setting the kitten's bones, the kitten just meowed in pain a few times, but did not bare its teeth at Yu Zhiming fiercely.
Yu Zhiming fixed the kitten's bones, applied a fixed bandage, and fed it an anti-inflammatory pill.
Next, Feng Sisi held the kitten, and Xiaoxue and Zeng Yan took ham, pork, milk and other food and drinks, and went out together excitedly to find the kitten's home.
Yu Zhiming cleaned and disinfected the place carefully before going to the restaurant to eat with Qing Ning.
Qing Ning waited for Yu Zhiming to eat and drink for a while before asking, "I know that neither my parents' family nor my sisters' families have ever kept cats, dogs, or other small animals."
"Are you afraid of disturbing me? Or do you just not like it?"
Yu Zhiming replied: "It's mainly because they're afraid of disturbing me. I don't like them because they bark."
"Lime, have you ever raised animals?"
Qing Ning nodded and said, "My family once had a dog, a Border Collie. It was very smart and could understand what I said."
"But he died of old age when I was twelve. After that, our family never raised an animal again."
Yu Zhiming reached out and touched Qing Ning's head to comfort her, then hesitantly said, "Well, if you want to raise small animals in the future, you can raise a few goldfish or small turtles."
Qing Ning chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I don't know how to raise small animals, and I don't have the time."
"I'm usually very busy, okay..."
Not long after Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning finished their dinner, Feng Sisi, Xiaoxue and Zeng Yan also came back.
Not only did Xiaoxue not put the kitten back, she also brought back three little kittens in her clothes.
"Uncle, the kitten gave birth to them in a remote green belt. If it rains heavily, they will be in trouble."
Xiaoxue spread out the clothes again and said, "Uncle, look at how cute they are, all furry and wiggling around."
Yu Zhiming rolled his eyes and said, "You're still in school, how can you have time to raise a cat?"
"I can't possibly raise it for you."
Feng Sisi hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law, I'll take care of them. I'll take them back tomorrow and take good care of them. Can you let them stay here tonight?"
Yu Zhiming just waved his hand to show his agreement.
This made Feng Sisi, Xiaoxue and Zeng Yan smile happily, and they gathered together to prepare a nest for the kitten family to spend the night.
However, after a while, Feng Sisi ran close to Yu Zhiming again.
"Oh, oh, cousin-in-law, I forgot to tell you the real reason why I came to see you tonight."
Feng Sisi said quickly, "Today, I went on an outing to the southern mountainous area with some friends."
"The weather is great today, and many people are going on spring outings in the mountains. We ran into a lot of people, and one of my friends even ran into a childhood friend she still keeps in touch with."
"There's a problem."
Feng Sisi chuckled and said, "My friend said that a friend of her playmate's voice sounds a lot like a scammer who had previously defrauded her of a lot of money online."
"However, she wasn't entirely sure, so she secretly recorded that person's voice and wanted you to confirm it..."
