Chapter 161 Gu Baobao sees patients one by one
Gu Baobao nodded, her eyes calming down.
She straightened her coat and walked towards the booth.
Lu Zhanming immediately followed, his sharp eyes scanning every possible angle where danger might be lurking.
The booth had already been quickly set up by the comrades who arrived first.
In front of the deep red backdrop, two long tables were joined together to form a display stand, covered with a clean white tablecloth.
The exhibits are displayed in three parts:
On the left are several transparent glass jars containing different colored medicinal powders: regular hemostatic powder, high-efficiency hemostatic powder, and colored marker samples made for demonstration purposes.
In the middle are several exquisite white porcelain bottles, labeled in Chinese, French and English as "Strengthening the Body and Nourishing Life Pills," containing brown pills—export version.
On the right are some graphic and textual materials, including a brief description of the drug, some clinical trial data, and an introduction to traditional Chinese medicine theory.
Simple and clean, without any fancy lighting or decorations, it stands in stark contrast to the surrounding high-tech booths.
But at this moment, no one thought the booth was shabby.
All eyes were focused on the black-haired girl who had just walked behind the booth.
Gu Baobao stopped, faced the long queue, and gave a polite and calm smile. She then spoke in clear and fluent English:
"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the Huaxia National Medicine booth. I am Gu Baobao."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it had a strange penetrating power that instantly suppressed the surrounding noise.
The crowd in line quieted down, and all eyes turned to her.
"Due to time constraints and the fact that you have all traveled a long way,"
Gu Baobao continued, her tone neither humble nor arrogant.
"We will provide you with basic health consultations and product introductions according to the order of your queue. If you need a more in-depth pulse diagnosis or a customized treatment plan, please leave your contact information and we will arrange it later."
As she spoke, she nodded slightly to Sui Jianguo, who was standing to the side and behind the booth.
Sui Jianguo understood and whispered instructions to Xiao Zhang:
"Go maintain order, let two people through at a time. Keep an eye on them, and immediately notify security if you see any suspicious individuals."
Xiao Zhang agreed and left.
Gu Baobao sat down behind the booth, and Lu Zhanming stood half a step behind her, his posture upright and his eyes like an eagle's.
The first person to step forward was the technical consultant from Roche, a gentleman in his sixties wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
"Hello, Dr. Gu."
He greeted us in French, with a respectful tone.
"I am Frederick Muller. I was deeply impressed by your miraculous medical skills yesterday. I suffer from severe neck and shoulder problems and insomnia due to years of desk work, and I wonder..."
“Mr. Muller, please have a seat.”
Gu Baobao responded in fluent French, gesturing for him to sit down on the chair prepared in front of the booth.
She didn't rush to take the pulse, but first carefully observed the other person's complexion, eyes, and posture before extending three fingers and gently placing them on the other person's wrist.
[Texas, supplementary analysis.]
She gave the order in her mind.
[Received! The target's pulse is thready and weak, especially on the left Guan position; the tongue coating is thin and white. This is based on the individual's self-reported symptoms and physical condition.]
This condition is highly consistent with cervical and shoulder syndrome and neurasthenia caused by long-term liver qi stagnation and poor blood circulation. It is recommended to soothe the liver, regulate qi, nourish blood, and calm the mind.
A few seconds later, Gu Baobao withdrew her hand and said in clear French:
“Mr. Muller, the root of your problem lies in long-term mental stress and stagnation of liver qi, which leads to poor circulation of qi and blood, disturbing the senses. Stiff neck and shoulders and insomnia are just symptoms.”
Professor Muller's eyes lit up:
"Absolutely right! That's what my doctor said too, but the sleeping pills and muscle relaxants he prescribed had serious side effects. Do you have any suggestions?"
Gu Baobao picked up a bottle of health pills from the display stand, opened the stopper, took out one pill, placed it in a small dish, and pushed it over:
"This is a conditioning pill that we improved based on an ancient prescription. Its main functions are to soothe the liver, relieve depression, replenish qi, and calm the mind."
You can try this for a week, taking one pill daily with warm water before bed. I also suggest you practice this whenever you have a spare moment each day.
As she spoke, she stood up and demonstrated a few simple exercises to relieve neck and shoulder pain, her movements elegant and rhythmic.
Professor Muller watched intently and quickly instructed his assistant behind him to write it down.
"This sample is for you to try."
Gu Baobao pushed the small plate along with a simple instruction manual in both Chinese and French over.
"If it works, we can discuss further cooperation. Roche has advanced technology in pharmaceutical formulation, and perhaps we can find areas for cooperation in the modernization of traditional medicines."
Her words were clever; she both did a favor and offered a tempting offer for cooperation.
Professor Muller was overjoyed. He accepted the sample, thanked the sample repeatedly, left his business card, and then left reluctantly.
As soon as he left, Defu's notification sounded in his mind:
[Ding! Successfully conducted an international medical consultation, spreading the concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine, earning +500 merit points! This has triggered potential international cooperation intentions; merit points are still being calculated...]
Gu Baobao was secretly delighted, but she didn't show it on her face and calmly looked at the next person.
The second person was the professor from country F, whose problem was more complicated; he had suffered from chronic gastritis for many years.
Gu Baobao also quickly made a judgment through observation, listening, questioning and palpation, and provided dietary adjustment suggestions and a sample of health pills with another ratio.
The third British businessman got straight to the point, wanting to purchase health supplements in bulk.
Gu Baobao did not agree immediately, but politely said that she needed to understand the qualifications and purpose of the other party's organization, and suggested that a small batch of samples be provided for trial use first.
The other party was somewhat disappointed, but was also persuaded by her professional and cautious attitude, and left their company information.
One after another.
Gu Baobao maintained a calm and composed demeanor throughout, making quick and accurate diagnoses, offering practical and effective advice, and always speaking in a gentle and polite tone.
She not only treats patients, but also skillfully introduces the concepts of traditional Chinese medicine and showcases the unique value of Chinese medicine in every interaction.
The queues did not decrease; on the contrary, they grew longer due to word-of-mouth.
People at other booths were drawn to this unusual sight. Many exhibitors and visitors gathered around to watch the spectacle, pointing and whispering about the young woman from the East sitting behind the red booth, calmly dealing with visitors from various countries. The discussions grew louder and louder.
"Is she the girl who saved Mendelssohn yesterday?"
"He looks too young! Does he really have that kind of skill?"
"I heard she can diagnose your problems just by taking your pulse, even more accurately than an X-ray!"
"Are those pills really that miraculous?"
"I don't know, but look at the people from those big companies, they're all lining up..."
Among the crowd, several gazes were particularly cold and sinister.
Su Xiaoyu stood in the shadow of a German medical equipment booth not far away, watching Gu Baobao surrounded by crowds, looking glamorous and successful. Her nails dug deep into her palms, almost drawing blood.
She was sent to the scene by Lavoisier this morning to observe the situation, originally hoping to see her baby make a fool of himself.
But then I saw this!
That bitch!
Why should I?!
Why is it always her?!
"You're very popular, your fellow countryman."
A deep voice sounded in her ear.
Su Xiaoyu froze, turned her head, and saw Lavoisier standing beside her at some point, squinting at Gu Baobao's direction, his icy blue eyes flashing with assessment and calculation.
"Mr. Lavoisier..."
Gu Ningbao called out softly, her voice filled with resentment.
"The more popular she is, the higher her value."
Lavoisier's lips curled into a cold smile.
"Of course, the greater the risk, the more difficult it is for us to take action. With so many people watching, it becomes harder for us to make a move."
He paused, then looked at Gu Ningbao:
When will your Nine-Turn Nourishing Essence Powder sample be available?
"We...we still need two more days..."
Gu Ningbao said guiltily.
She tried it once last night, but the results were less than satisfactory, and she is now desperately adjusting the formula.
"ASAP."
Lavoisier withdrew his gaze, his tone flat, yet it sent a chill down Gu Ningbao's spine.
“If her value far exceeds yours, then your value… needs to be reassessed.”
After saying that, he turned and left, disappearing into the crowd.
Su Xiaoyu stood there, her face pale, looking in Gu Baobao's direction, the resentment in her eyes almost tangible.
