"Xumi Jiezi Paste? What is that?"
Pan Haitang was dumbfounded, her face full of confusion, her initial enthusiasm gradually extinguished. She couldn't help but complain with a long face, earnestly persuading:
"Chen Xiao, the Eight Reversal Soup is absolutely a peerless special medicine for removing body odor. Once launched, it will surely sweep the global pharmaceutical market. You're not making such a product with market prospects, why are you doing something else?"
Roland immediately became unhappy and retorted unceremoniously:
"No matter how big the market prospect for body odor medicine is, can it be bigger than Xumi Jiezi Paste, which can be called a pain-relief elixir and a gallstone nemesis? Do you know that my ten or twenty years of headaches were cured after just one application? Around the world, aren't there more patients suffering from pain or gallstones than those with body odor?"
"This..."
Pan Haitang was speechless and suddenly dumbfounded.
If she hadn't personally witnessed the miraculous efficacy of the Eight Reversal Soup, she would never have believed Roland.
She looked at Chen Xiao awkwardly and said nervously:
"Dr. Chen, I'm truly sorry. With your superb mastery of Traditional Chinese Medicine, whatever medicine you make will surely be successful. It was I who was superficial."
Chen Xiao respected Pan Haitang greatly and politely shook his head:
"Professor Pan, you flatter me. Actually, it's fine to make any medicine first. It's just that the Xumi Jiezi Paste has already been reserved by a boss, and the production schedule is very tight."
"I understand. Don't worry, I'll ask for leave from the Provincial Medical University later."
Pan Haitang nodded repeatedly and then continued to be busy, completely forgetting about Zheng Liming's visit to seek medical treatment.
Zheng Liming was immediately anxious and quickly continued to ingratiate himself with Chen Xiao:
"Dr. Chen, although I don't have the skill to prepare Chinese medicine, I can definitely help out. And our airline is not busy recently. Even if I stay up day and night without eating or drinking, I will help you to the end. By the way, En'en should also be on vacation in a couple of days, and I'll have her come help too..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he eagerly ran to Pan Haitang's workbench to help deliver Chinese medicinal materials.
Chen Xiao was not foolish and naturally knew why Zheng Liming was being so ingratiating. Since he had already promised to treat Zheng Liming's infertility, he would not go back on his word. Thus, he said readily:
"Vice Chairman Zheng, even if you're in a hurry, it's not for this moment. I'll treat you first!"
Zheng Liming was both surprised and delighted, and he eagerly took out all the Chinese medicinal materials for preparing the "Songzi Guanyin Soup" that he had already obtained from the central hospital the day before.
Chen Xiao first used the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Longevity Needles to strengthen Zheng Liming's foundation, and then directly used the ready-made decocting tools in the production workshop to boil the Songzi Guanyin Soup. His movements were as skilled and fluid as flowing water.
Soon, after Zheng Liming, who had undergone acupuncture, drank the steaming Songzi Guanyin Soup, he felt his waist, injured more than a decade ago, and his abdomen, which had been cold all year round, gradually warmed up. The fatigue that he could never shake off was instantly replaced by vigor and vitality, making him feel refreshed from head to toe.
His male intuition told him that even without immediate testing, the embarrassing problem that had plagued him for years had definitely been resolved.
For a moment, he couldn't even care about being laughed at by the people present and blurted out subconsciously:
"Dr. Chen, this time next year, I will surely be able to hold my chubby son as I wish. I'll treat you to a full moon banquet!"
Saying this, he, dressed in a sharp suit and exuding the aura of a chairman, suddenly knelt down at Chen Xiao's feet and kowtowed repeatedly in gratitude.
At that moment, Pan Haitang noticed the strange glances cast by Roland and others. Her face instantly turned red, and she hurriedly said with a dark expression:
"Old Zheng, what nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and come help out!"
Although her tone was harsh, her eyes could not hide her joy and anticipation for having a second child.
Chen Xiao had grown up relying on Chen Qing for his livelihood and had seen too many patients who had been cured by Chen Qing express similar emotions. This inspired him to study medicine and help more patients suffering from illness.
Seeing the smiles on the faces of Zheng Liming and Pan Haitang, his motivation grew even stronger, and he returned to the workbench to prepare the medicinal paste.
Meanwhile, in a bright and clean office, Jin Yongping was talking with a job applicant.
Coincidentally, the applicant was Wu Huixian, who had gone missing with her sister Wu Huimin's newborn child just two days ago.
Although the examination results from the First Affiliated Hospital of the Provincial Medical University indicated that the child's congenital intellectual disability had been cured by Chen Xiao, and Wu Huixian had even mailed a copy of the examination report to Wu Xianyao, she was still like a startled bird. Fearing that Wu Xianyao would still stubbornly force her to abandon the child, she resolutely resigned from her internship at the hospital and secretly returned to Juxian City to hide. It was then that she happened to see the recruitment information for Jin Fang Pharmaceutical.
Accompanying Wu Huixian to the interview was her colleague from the First Affiliated Hospital of the Provincial Medical University, Cao Yu. He was in his early thirties, wore a pair of seemingly refined glasses, but his eyes darted around, and he occasionally stole glances at Wu Huixian, his expression filled with undisguised greed.
Wu Huixian could sense that Cao Yu had been pursuing her, but she had no feelings for him at all.
In fact, another reason she had decided to resign from the hospital was her dislike for Cao Yu's persistent pursuit.
By chance, as soon as she reached the gate of Jin Fang Pharmaceutical, she encountered Cao Yu, who was passing by.
Cao Yu had initially thought that even if Wu Huixian suddenly resigned, she wouldn't be working at Jin Fang Pharmaceutical. Therefore, he had remained silent, sitting nearby. However, seeing that Jin Yongping and Wu Huixian were about to reach an agreement with just a few words, he became anxious. He quickly leaned in and whispered to Wu Huixian:
"Huixian, don't believe Jin Yongping's lies. Jin Fang Pharmaceutical is about to be acquired by Jiuding Pharmaceutical. Employees are leaving one after another, and there isn't a single wholesale company for Chinese medicinal materials to supply them. No matter how high a salary they promise you, it's all empty talk."
Wu Huixian felt Cao Yu approaching her and immediately stood up in fright, trying to distance herself.
Cao Yu was displeased but still clung to her like a persistent fly:
"Moreover, the Xingwang Chinese Medicinal Materials Wholesale Company next door is owned by my father. If you want a job, you can just go there directly. With our relationship, a monthly salary of thirty or fifty thousand is not a problem."
He leaned in to speak to Wu Huixian, actually trying to take advantage of her. His words were mainly for showing off, so they were heard by Jin Yongping word for word.
The faint smile on Jin Yongping's face instantly turned cold, and she frowned, saying:
"Are you Cao Xingwang's son?"
Cao Yu had studied abroad since he was young. Even after returning to work in China, he rarely visited the company next door, and when he did, he drove. Jin Yongping naturally didn't recognize him.
Cao Yu became even more smug and mockingly said:
"That's right! Jin Yongping, your lie has been exposed by me. Now you have nothing to say, right? Just a broken company that's about to go out of business, and you have the nerve to say you just received two million worth of Chinese medicinal materials and even asked my friend to go to the production workshop immediately to test his skills in preparing Chinese medicine. Bah!"
Cao Yu had actually come because he heard that Cao Xingwang was injured, but Cao Xingwang had been so terrified by Leng Shan that he didn't dare to mention his experience. Therefore, Cao Yu naturally didn't know that Jin Fang Pharmaceutical had undergone a major change.
"Heh."
Jin Yongping laughed in anger and said coldly to Wu Huixian:
"Miss Wu, I, Jin Yongping, have sworn an oath that I will never have any dealings with anyone from the Cao family in this life. Since you are a friend of the Cao family, please leave immediately. Don't force me to call security to escort you out!"
