Huang Beishan said: "Just now, if I hadn’t reacted quickly, the al bill for our table might have been paid by Wu Beiming. With this ti, next ti he’ll think of ways to give you benefits. Sotis, even if you don’t want to accept, he has ways of making you take it. Once you accept the first ti, there will be a second ti. By then, tens or hundreds of thousands, as long as he’s willing to give, you’ll be willing to take. It sounds scary, but that’s the reality.
Do you know that doctors beco entrapped this way, ultimately becoming lapdogs of these pharmaceutical companies?
When that ti cos, it would be impossible to disentangle yourself."
Lu Xuan had heard about these things while in school, but had never really co into contact with them. After all, as a student, it wasn’t likely he would encounter such things.
Now, hearing how serious Huang Beishan made it sound, he couldn’t help but take it seriously. He nodded imdiately: "Old Huang, don’t worry. I’ve taken note."
Lu Xuan made his stance clear. Huang Beishan didn’t say much more, and the five of them quickly got into their serious eating mode.
...
In the evening.
Lu Xuan had just gotten ho not long ago, and Ji Xiuwen was alone in his room reading dical books. Although he knew Lu Xuan had returned, he rely greeted him without coming out, as his focus was now on studying and reviewing.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan felt deeply gratified.
He thought that the words he’d said a few days ago were not in vain and had had so effect.
However, how much Xiuwen could learn would depend on his own ability.
Lu Xuan didn’t disturb him, and went straight for a shower. As he ca out after showering, a call from Wang Youqing ca in.
"Lu, it’s , Wang Youqing."
"Uncle, do you need sothing from ?"
"I’ll let your sister-in-law tell you about it. It’s not convenient for to say."
"Alright."
Soon, Lu Xuan heard the voice of Wang Youqing’s wife in his ear: "Is that Lu?"
"Hello, sister-in-law."
"Lu, let get straight to the point, there’s sothing I want to ask you."
"I have a younger sister, she has a daughter who’s twenty-six this year. By this age, a girl should have grown and developed, but her daughter’s breasts haven’t developed at all. They’ve visited many big hospitals. Although it doesn’t affect her living, it’s troubling for such a big girl to look like a boy. She’s very upset about it and constantly thinks about going to plastic surgery hospitals. She’s been there before, and apart from being expensive, the key issue is that those hospitals said her condition might lead to high chances of implant leakage, so they don’t recomnd surgery."
"When I heard my sister talk about this, I thought, of course they don’t recomnd it—they’re just afraid. If such surgery fails, the subsequent risks are much greater. The plastic surgery hospitals probably considered this and had to give up the money, otherwise which one would let such a good opportunity go? After all, undergoing such an operation would cost at least tens of thousands, even up to a hundred or two hundred thousand."
"Hearing about you from my family, Youqing, I thought maybe I could let my niece see you—maybe you have a thod."
"My niece agreed imdiately when she heard this and didn’t want to miss any opportunity. So, I wanted to ask you if her condition could be treated with traditional Chinese dicine."
"The big hospitals all said it might be genetic and innate, uncurable. But my niece doesn’t want to give up, and as elders we can only ask around for her. We can’t really let her go all the way to South Korea, can we?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan thought for a mont and said, "Sister-in-law, I understand the situation to so extent, but until I see her in person, I can’t say for sure what the reason is. Why don’t you bring her to the Health Center tomorrow? I’ve now moved to the community opposite the Health Center, just a few steps away. Let take a look before we discuss further. Otherwise, even if you say so, without checking her pulse or knowing the specifics, it’s hard for to say whether it can be treated."
He Lihong thought this made a lot of sense and quickly said, "Alright, alright, alright, I’ll bring her to the Health Center tomorrow with my sister. Lu, it’s settled then. We’ll call you when we get there."
"Okay."
"Uncle has my contact information, just call when you arrive."
"Alright."
After confirming the ti, they hung up the phone.
When Wang Youqing saw his wife handing back the phone, he quickly asked: "What did Lu say?"
"Lu said we need to bring her to him for a look first. It’s hard for him to make a judgnt based solely on what I’ve said." He Lihong explained.
Wang Youqing spread out his hands and said: "You see, I told you. In traditional Chinese dicine, they emphasize observation, listening, questioning, and feeling the pulse. Without checking the pulse or seeing the specifics, no matter how skilled Lu is, he wouldn’t make a judgnt. But are you going over tomorrow?"
"Yes, Lu said he moved to the community opposite the Health Center and that we can contact him when we arrive."
"I was just thinking, Lu’s rental place is quite far from the Health Center, and tomorrow’s a holiday, so it would be troubling for him to go there. But living in the community opposite makes it much closer, just a few minutes to the Health Center."
Thinking aloud, Wang Youqing then looked at He Lihong: "Then I’ll drive you all over tomorrow. Call your sister and let her know we’ll pick them up."
"Alright."
He Lihong then called her own sister: "Sis, I’ve arranged a ti with Dr. Lu, it’s for tomorrow. Your brother-in-law will drive over to pick you guys up."
"Sis, can traditional Chinese dicine really cure this? You know how my daughter is, she can’t let this go and won’t give up unless it’s fixed. I’m just worried that if it doesn’t work out this ti, she’ll actually go to South Korea. Spending money is one thing, but I’m worried about her going alone to South Korea, and if sothing happens, we wouldn’t be there... I’m really worried!"
He Lihong laughed and reassured her: "You heard what your brother-in-law said before, that Dr. Lu’s dical skills are superb, and any difficult ailnt in his hands isn’t an issue. Our niece’s problem is minor, maybe Dr. Lu will prescribe so dicine, and that will be it."
"Mom, since uncle and aunt say it’s possible, it’s definitely possible."
"I’m telling you, small or not, it doesn’t affect life. Maybe it’ll grow after having kids later on. You’re running around for this, if it weren’t for the fear of you going abroad, I wouldn’t even bother asking your aunt."
"Oh my goodness, since you’ve asked, stop talking about it. If it really can’t be solved, we’ll just give up, okay?"
"That’s what you said..."
"I said it."
Listening to the voices of her sister and niece, He Lihong couldn’t help but laugh. Those two really are a pair of treasures.
