Chapter 291: Spread the News a Hundred Miles Away

Moreover, the proportion of Western medicine was higher in the current medical structure, whereas Chinese medicine was weak. This was an indisputable fact.
I’m afraid that there’ll be a conflict between these medicines! This was what the man was worried about.
“The medicine I prescribed will not have a conflict with the medication here,” Dr. Chen said as he seemed to have guessed what the man was concerned about.
“Okay, okay,” the middle-aged man hurriedly responded with a nod.
“Take the medicine first and we’ll observe.”
Dr. Chen asked him some questions in detail to infer the causes of multiple organ failures in his body. However, he did not find the accurate breakthrough point right away. Illnesses would not attack for no reason. There must be a remote cause.
“Sigh, I’m old!”
After coming out from the ward, the Holy hands of Xing Lin sighed.
Ever since he met the young man, he became more and more aware that he was old and that he was of no-good. If this was in the past, the treatment of this illness would be easy, at least I would be very confident.
Wait!
The old man suddenly thought of something. He turned around and entered the ward again.
“What’s wrong, Dr. Chen?” Seeing the old man who had returned, the middle-aged man who stayed by the bedside was startled.
“Get up. I’ll take another look.”
This time, the old man sat beside the bed for more than 20 minutes and he finally had a fair judgment.
The illness arose from the liver, targeted the heart and lungs, and was rooted in the blood.
“What’s the diagnosis of the hospital?”
“They haven’t found the reason for the time being.”
“Haven’t found it? Isn’t there any abnormality in the blood?” Dr. Chen frowned slightly.
“The blood test results are abnormal. A few of the indicators are not right, but they haven’t said anything.”
The liver and blood.
The old man walked back and forth in the room.
“Don’t fill the prescription first. I need to make some changes.”
“Okay.”
At that moment, an unknown thing in Dr. Chen’s heart had surged again. He was old but young at heart.
After returning home, he headed straight into his study and started to get busy.
“What’s wrong with this old man?”
How can I lose to a junior when I’m already this old?!
…
“That’s the way it is. Tell Dr. w.a.n.g to wait for another month.”
“Okay. I’ll go back and inform him.”
After leaving the province governor’s office, He Qisheng rubbed his forehead. He did not expect that things would become like this.
Wait for a month. How am I supposed to tell him? Tell him that he can get the certificate after a month?
After contemplating for a long time, he decided to tell w.a.n.g Yao about this.
“Take the exam again after a month? Why?” w.a.n.g Yao was stunned after hearing the news.
“Someone questioned the fairness of the exam this time,” He Qisheng explained.
“Okay. I got it,” w.a.n.g Yao replied.
He Qisheng did not say anything else, or he was embarra.s.sed to say more. That person could solve this matter with just a word, why should it be dragged?
Was he too busy, or did he have other thoughts?
Sigh! He let out a sigh.
In the newly-built courtyard on Nanshan hill, w.a.n.g Yao hung up the phone. He felt that this matter was more tortuous and undulatory than what he had imagined. He could still afford to wait for another month. If there was another problem after a month, the task would be unresolved.
It was the first time that he felt that the progress of the task was under his control.
Should I ask someone else?
He did not know many people now. However, people who could help had to have a considerable amount of connections and status. There were only a few people who could help.
I’ll just ask.
w.a.n.g Yao picked up his phone and called Chen Boyuan. He answered the call immediately.
“Qualification certificate? No problem,” he promised frankly.
Now, not only him, but the Su family was dying to get w.a.n.g Yao to ask them to handle things. How could they give up on such a rare opportunity?
“I’ll handle it right away.”
Chen Boyuan quickly told Madam Song about this matter. She only said to try their best and asked w.a.n.g Yao to look for her if there were any difficulties.
Regarding this matter, Chen Boyuan decided to go to Lianshan County as soon as possible and talk to w.a.n.g Yao in person.
Or, I can give it a try first?
Seeing that the medical center had been built and what was lacking were just the formalities and qualifications, w.a.n.g Yao could not hold his thought in.
“Task (name of the pharmacist): Spread the news a hundred miles away and become famous for a hundred miles away within a month (do not take the initiative to make a house call). Task reward: a bag of licorice roots seeds. The subsequent tasks are open. There will be a penalty for failure. Any attribute will be halved.”
The tone of the system which was in place suddenly appeared. This surprised w.a.n.g Yao.
“Become famous for a hundred miles away. What is considered as being well-known?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“Your pharmaceutical technology is famous a hundred miles away and you have over 50 patients.”
50 patients and a hundred miles away? That would be out of Lianshan County.
Places like Haiqu City and Zhu County, or farther away.
A month was neither long nor short. The main problem was that w.a.n.g Yao had not obtained the medical qualification certificate. The rule of not being able to take the initiative to make a house call was a huge restriction. Fortunately, it did not say that promoting initiatively was not allowed. Otherwise, it would be a big problem.
After hearing the task, w.a.n.g Yao thought about it over and over again. His connections were still too poor. He could only ask for help from his friends. Hence, he called Wei Hai, Tian Yuantu and the others and asked them to come to his place the next day. By then, he would ask them to help him out with the promotions.
While the sky had not darkened, he went into town to buy some nuts, such as melon seeds and walnuts to be served the next day.
The weather was still a little hot the next day. Tian Yuantu, Li Maoshuang, Wei Hai, w.a.n.g Mingbao and the others came as promised. Zhou Xiong brought his son back to Cangzhou due to family matters, so he could not make it.
With a pot of tea and a few types of nuts, a few people sat around while talking, laughing and chatting.
“What? Is it open for business? What do you mean?”
Listening to w.a.n.g Yao’s words, they did not understand.
“I plan to see patients here, but I’m not making it public and I won’t display any signs. That’s why I asked all of you to come. There’s another rule, which is, it is best that the patients visiting in the first month aren’t from Lianshan County.”
“People out of Lianshan County?”
After hearing what w.a.n.g Yao said, they were startled again. They were thinking what kind of a rule that was. It was really weird.
“What about the villagers?” w.a.n.g Mingbao asked.
“I won’t see them, unless they’re honest people,” w.a.n.g Yao replied.
“To tell you all the truth, I don’t have the qualification certificate and I haven’t gone through the formalities. If those with big mouths know about this, it may cause me some trouble,” w.a.n.g Yao explained.
Not to mention anything else, just in the village, there were definitely rubbernecks.
“Okay. Since you’ve said it, just based on your pharmaceutical technology, not to mention a hundred miles away, even if it’s a thousand miles away, people will definitely come,” Wei Hai said with a smile.
As a person who had personally experienced it, he trusted w.a.n.g Yao’s pharmaceutical technology almost blindly.
“I’ll have to trouble all of you then,” w.a.n.g Yao said with a smile.
“You’re too polite. We’ll certainly help you publicize, but we’ll have it under control within a certain range,” Wei Hai added.
“This is a must.”
“Can’t you make a house call?”
“Unless the situation is very special.”
“I got it!”
They stayed at w.a.n.g Yao’s small courtyard for the whole morning. They chatted about everything and did not feel bored. In fact, for them, such a gathering was a relaxation which was hard to come by instead.
They were cheering and laughing in the small courtyard. The villagers were also gesticulating outside.
After all, w.a.n.g Yao’s friends came by cars. Wei Hai drove a Land Rover, whereas Tian Yuantu drove a Mercedes. Li Maoshuang and w.a.n.g Mingbao’s car were not as luxurious, but their cars also costed more than 200,000 yuan. Unless someone was getting married, the villagers had never seen so many luxurious cars at the same time in the village.
“What does Fenghua’s son actually do? He has quite a lot of friends!”
“Looks like he has earned quite some money.”
“Can he earn money with just that shabby hill?”
He was not the only one who had such a doubt.
Seeing that it was almost lunch hour, w.a.n.g Yao said to his friends, “Lunch will be my treat.”
“I’m just waiting for you to say that.”
They still went to the restaurant in Xiazhuang. The taste of the dishes were quite good. w.a.n.g Yao had come more than once, so he was considered as a regular customer. Upon seeing him, the boss was very enthusiastic. They all came by car. However, this was a mountain village. The police would not come to this faraway hilly area to check for drunk driving. Moreover, when friends gathered together, drinking some beer could only then liven things up.
They did not drink much. After paying the bill, w.a.n.g Yao invited them to the small courtyard again. They stayed for a while and drank tea for half of the afternoon. He only let them go after their kick had disappeared.
“I’ve casted the net. I’ll just have to see when people will come,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
