Chapter 424 Visiting the Clinic
Anya shook her head as she watched Murong Ting's retreating figure disappear without looking back.
She was naturally pleased that her nephew had found his true love, but why did it have to be Kong Wange?
If she had known back then that Kong Wange wasn't the Kong family's biological daughter, she would never have agreed to this marriage!
The thought of her younger sister and brother-in-law dying tragically under the wheels of a car kept her awake all night.
...
Wen Family Medical Clinic at the East Street Intersection.
More than a decade ago, this place was once famous, but with the changes in the government's urban planning, the number of people on these streets has decreased, and the two clinics have also lost their former glory.
Before Kong Wange came, she had seen the financial reports of the two clinics, and their revenue had been declining year after year.
Even so, she still felt that the two clinics had potential.
Firstly, it carries the prestigious name of Wen's Medical Clinic; secondly, according to her understanding, a large, high-end serviced residential community has been newly built nearby.
The property development has already begun pre-sales.
In the future, as more and more people move in, these two clinics are likely to be incorporated into the integrated services within the community, at which point the number of patients visiting the clinics will increase exponentially.
She knew that Wen Zhengning would never give away a clinic with such good revenue to the Wen family, so with that in mind, she set her sights on the two clinics at the East Street intersection.
Just after 8:30 in the morning, Kong Wange walked into the clinic, carrying a small bag, just as it opened.
Her purpose in coming today is twofold: to take over the business and to conduct an assessment.
Since the investigation was to be conducted, it was impossible for her to do so openly as the person in charge, so she pretended to be an ordinary patient.
The two clinics at the intersection of Dongjiekou have a total of more than 20 employees. Originally, there was only one clinic, but later, due to the large number of customers, it could not handle the workload, so a branch was opened next door.
The two clinics are next to each other, separated only by a wall.
It was past the start time for work, and Kong Wange thought everyone would be in the clinic by now. But when she went in, she found only a little girl listlessly slumped over the medicine table in the huge clinic.
He didn't even look up when she came in.
Kong Wange frowned unconsciously, then deliberately coughed twice.
The little girl belatedly lifted her head from the crook of her arms. Seeing that Kong Wange didn't show much enthusiasm, she yawned as if she hadn't woken up yet: "Getting medicine or seeing a doctor?"
Kong Wange said calmly, "Get the medicine."
"Oh, what kind of medicine do you want?"
"I recently had a flare-up of gastritis. What kind of medicine should I get?"
The little girl frowned: "Do you have the recipe?"
"No, can't you open it?"
Upon hearing that there was no prescription, the young girl waved her hand impatiently: "Then you have to go to a doctor first and have him write a prescription for you before you can get the medicine. I can't write one here."
Kong Wange looked around: "Don't you have a doctor in this clinic?"
The little girl had already sat back down and pointed impatiently to the next room, saying, "Everyone's over there, you can go over there."
Kong Wange frowned, wanting to ask something else, but then she saw the little girl lie back down on the medicine table and go back to sleep.
Kong Wange: "..."
Taking a deep breath, she suppressed her thoughts, turned around, and went to the clinic next door.
Although they are only separated by a wall, the atmosphere next door is very lively, unlike the quietness on this side.
However, the liveliness wasn't due to the number of guests or the busy atmosphere, but rather the lively card game.
Seeing the four people sitting in a circle playing cards, surrounded by a group of people, Kong Wange instantly thought of two things—"Absurd!"
In such a large clinic, a group of employees were sitting together playing cards early in the morning.
This scene was simply too ridiculous.
She cleared her throat and said, "Hello, who do I go to to get the medicine?"
"Five in a row!"
"I can't afford it!"
"Guan Shang, I played this card so well!"
"Bombs, four Ks, keep an eye on them!"
Kong Wange saw that everyone was engrossed in playing cards and no one paid any attention to her.
She let out a sigh of relief and had no choice but to raise her voice: "I need to get my medicine, who should I ask for!"
After that shout, someone finally paid attention to her.
A tall, thin man in his thirties, wearing a white coat, sat in the middle, holding a deck of cards. He glanced up at her and asked, "Here for a doctor's visit? To pick up medicine? What kind of medicine?"
"I have gastritis, I'm here to get some medicine to treat my stomach pain."
"Oh, then you can just ask Xiaoxue to catch her," he said, calling inside, "Xiaoxue, Tao Xiaoxue!"
A moment later, a girl rushed out of the back room.
She was dressed simply in a T-shirt and jeans, holding a broom and dustpan: "Dr. Wei, did you call me?"
"Take this customer to get some medicine: 10 grams each of Bupleurum and Prepared Licorice Root, 30 grams each of White Peony Root and Dried Plum, plus 15 grams of American Ginseng."
"Oh, okay," the girl called Tao Xiaoxue replied hastily, then pulled Kong Wange along, "Hello, please come with me."
Kong Wange didn't move, but said with some disbelief, "Don't you need to take my pulse?"
While playing cards, Dr. Wei casually replied, "Don't you have gastritis? This prescription can cure any kind of gastritis."
Kong Wange frowned: "But..."
Dr. Wei grew impatient: "Why are you making such a fuss, patient? Are you going to arrest me or not? If not, get out of here."
Kong Wange: "..."
She was almost amused by Dr. Wei's attitude, and nodded: "Okay, I'll get it."
She looked at Xiaoxue and said, "You lead the way."
Xiaoxue quickly responded and led Kong Wange to the medicine counter.
Not far away, the excited sounds of a group of people playing cards rose up again. Taking advantage of the noise, Kong Wange chatted casually with Xiaoxue: "Are the doctors at your clinic like this every day?"
Xiaoxue glanced at them, coughed lightly, and said, "No, there are fewer customers in the morning..."
Kong Wange chuckled lightly: "Is it just that there are few customers in the morning, or are there few customers all day? Even if there are customers coming to see the doctor, they would be scared away by this scene, right?"
Tao Xiaoxue murmured awkwardly without replying.
Seeing that although she was not good at talking and was a little timid, she was very efficient in grabbing the medicine. Kong Wange paused and said, "That doctor just mentioned so many medicinal herbs. Why don't you write them down? What if you grab the wrong ones for me?"
Sure enough, Tao Xiaoxue became a bit more talkative when this topic came up: "Don't worry, I have a very good memory, I can remember things without paper."
Kong Wange said "Oh": "Then tell me, what medicine did that doctor prescribe for you?"
Most young girls would have been unhappy to encounter such a difficult customer, but Tao Xiaoxue was a bit stunned. Instead, she recited the whole story to Kong Wange: "10 grams of Bupleurum and roasted licorice root, 30 grams of white peony root and dried plum, plus 15 grams of American ginseng."
Kong Wange smiled and nodded: "Your memory is indeed excellent. You speak so fluently. I think you are even better than that doctor."
Tao Xiaoxue quickly blushed and declined, "No, no, I was just being clever. Don't underestimate Dr. Wei just because he's young. He graduated from a proper medical university and is the most capable doctor in our area. I'm just a handyman, I can't compare to him."
