"Dr. Zhang, is working at the grassroots level tough?"
"Not tough, it’s part of the job."
"Hehe, you look young, probably not married yet, right? I have a niece around your age, if you’re interested, I could set you two up."
"Ah, no need for that."
Zhang Xiaoshan was increasingly confused.
What was Tang Guoming up to, offering his niece like that?
Tang Guoming kept making small talk, without any substantive content.
But the more he did, the more Zhang Xiaoshan’s heart pounded.
Sothing abnormal indicated a possible demon at work.
Tang Guoming’s enthusiasm was sowhat excessive.
Moreover, he had only t him yesterday, and even though he had saved Sun Dazhi and helped them avert a PR crisis, such attentiveness seed unwarranted.
After more than ten minutes, Zhang Xiaoshan felt like he couldn’t take it anymore.
"Mr. Tang, if you have sothing to say, just speak directly. If it’s within my capability, I’ll do my best."
"Er..."
"This, this, this, hehehe, Dr. Zhang, you’re really straightforward. As a matter of fact, there’s a little sothing I need your help with."
"Please tell ." Zhang Xiaoshan actually sighed with relief upon hearing this.
As long as he knew the other party ant no harm.
"This, this."
Tang Guoming kept rubbing his hands, his face turning a bright red, hesitating for quite a while, unable to get to the point.
Zhang Xiaoshan was curious to see Tang Guoming’s anxious deanor.
Soone of Tang Guoming’s stature surely should not lose his composure, right?
"Asking for my help?"
What could he, a rural doctor, possibly help soone like that with?
Illness?
That seed to be the only reason.
He activated his Heavenly Dragon Divine Eye and scanned Tang Guoming.
Instantly, a series of information appeared.
"Disease: Decline of Yang Energy Syndro."
"Symptoms: When hot, the sinews relax and do not contract; decline in Yin Energy, rendering one impotent."
"Cause: Prolonged sitting, excessive drinking, repressed emotions leading to Qi stagnation, death of the tri-yin nerves, and obstructed ridians."
"Treatnt thod: Clearing the ridians, activating the nerves, Solid Foundation and Nourishing Yuan..."
Damn!
Zhang Xiaoshan was deeply shocked.
So, Tang Guoming was impotent.
Tang Guoming was only in his late forties, not old yet, but this illness was quite devastating for a man, and even more so for soone in his position - the sha.
No wonder Tang Guoming was feeling anxious and at a loss for words.
He thought about his interest in acquiring the Hui Nong Pharmaceutical Factory; this was a golden opportunity.
Just as Tang Guoming was gearing up to break the ice with Zhang Xiaoshan.
Zhang Xiaoshan beat him to it.
"Mr. Tang, your illness, it’s not hard to treat."
"Ah?"
Tang Guoming was a bit surprised.
Zhang Xiaoshan had sohow figured out the reason he’d been summoned.
No, what if it was just a guess?
"Dr. Zhang, I have regular check-ups every month, I’m healthy as can be, where would I get any illness?"
"Hehe."
Zhang Xiaoshan chuckled.
"Mr. Tang, we’re alone here, there’s no need to bluff. I guess you haven’t had sexual relations for almost half a year now, right?"
"Ah?"
Tang Guoming suddenly stood up, agitated.
"Divine Doctor, Dr. Zhang indeed has the Divine Eye, you, you actually saw through it?"
He had seen Zhang Xiaoshan save Sun Dazhi yesterday, which piqued his interest.
Today, he ca to Zhang Xiaoshan looking to give it a try, but he never imagined that Zhang Xiaoshan would see right through him at first glance.
Could it be that he might actually recover?
Zhang Xiaoshan calmly stated.
"My family has a heritage of ancient dical texts. I’ve learned a bit—not enough to be called a Divine Doctor, but I do have so thods for tricky diseases."
"Can you cure my illness then?"
Tang Guoming clutched Zhang Xiaoshan’s hand, eyes full of hope.
Zhang Xiaoshan pondered for a mont, looking troubled.
"Your tri-yin nerves are dead; treating them might be a bit difficult, but not completely impossible. It just requires so effort."
"So, there’s hope?"
Tang Guoming pressed on anxiously.
Zhang Xiaoshan, observing Tang Guoming’s eagerness, felt a surge of smugness internally.
He had him.
"It’s possible, but I’m currently facing a little trouble. I need to resolve my own issues before I can start figuring out a treatnt for you."
"Trouble?"
Tang Guoming, not wanting to wait a mont longer, imdiately declared with a wave of his hand.
"In Wanshan County, my word is law. Tell your troubles, I’ll help you sort them out. Just focus on treating ."
"As long as you can cure my illness, any problem you have, I’ll help you resolve it."
"Well, you know what? You’re the best person to deal with it."
"Hmm?"
"Let’s hear it."
Zhang Xiaoshan got straight to the point.
"I want to buy the Hui Nong Pharmaceutical Factory, but I’m a bit strapped for cash right now."
"You want to buy the Hui Nong Pharmaceutical Factory?"
"Yes, I’m short on funds, think I could get it on credit?"
Tang Guoming was taken aback for a mont.
Then, he gave Zhang Xiaoshan a deep look.
Both were old foxes—why talk about fairy tales?
"Hehe, Brother Zhang, you sure have a big appetite. Although the Hui Nong Pharmaceutical Factory is outdated, I had my people evaluate it. Not to ntion anything else, just the land alone is worth over twenty million, plus the equipnt, production lines, and orders, as well as a debt of ten million. It’s going to be at least fifty million. I’ve already ordered my people to start bankruptcy auction proceedings."
"You want to buy on credit, that might be a bit difficult."
He was forcing him to show his hand.
This old fox.
It turns out that reaching his position wasn’t easy.
"Alright then, sigh, I know this is tough. I’ll just have to raise the funds and wait for the county’s auction."
"Mr. Tang, give a few days to check my books and I’ll give you a definite answer about your treatnt."
With that, Zhang Xiaoshan tried to leave.
What a joke, the pharmaceutical factory was sothing Zhang Xiaoshan could buy or not, but Tang Guoming’s condition was sothing that had to be cured.
"Hold on, Brother Zhang, why the rush to leave? Let’s discuss this further."
Tang Guoming pushed Zhang Xiaoshan back into his seat.
