Chapter 187 Opportunities for Cooperation
"Xiao Yue, have you heard that Doctor Lu in the east is developing a new medicine that is said to have miraculous effects?" She looked up and asked, her tone revealing excitement.
Xiaoyue nodded as she sorted the books, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "I've heard that Doctor Lu is a famous doctor with superb skills. If I can work with him, I'll be able to achieve great things!"
"That's right. If I can study this new drug with him, I will definitely be able to help more people." Chen Fang clenched her palms slightly, her eyes determined. Thinking of the patient who was suffering from a serious illness not long ago, a sense of responsibility rose in her heart.
As they were talking, a deep voice suddenly rang in their ears: "Miss Chen, how can you be so careless about such an important matter?" The speaker was a frequent customer of the pharmacy, named Mr. Yin. He was about fifty years old, with white hair, but he was full of energy and often praised Chen Fang's medical skills.
"Mr. Yin, you are right." Chen Fang turned around and bowed politely. "I just think that new drug cooperation may help more patients, and I have no other intentions."
Elder Yin thought for a moment, then sighed, "Miss Chen, a doctor's kindness is important, but you must not be careless in cooperating with Doctor Lu. There are many rumors about his temper, and I'm sure you've heard about them."
"Xiaoyue, I have also heard what Elder Yin said." Chen Fang thought freely, his heart was not affected. "But if I don't try, will I just watch those patients who need help die helplessly?"
"Xiao Yue, since ancient times, those who have accomplished great things must have given up something in order to gain something. I will go to see Doctor Lu in person. I think I can win his trust with my medical skills." She was secretly determined in her heart that she would not let go of this opportunity.
Xiaoyue seemed to be thinking about something, and then she continued slowly, "Miss, if you really want to go see Doctor Lu, remember to be extra careful. After all, that doctor is aloof by nature and difficult to get along with."
"I understand. Thank you for reminding me." As Xiaoyue watched, Chen Fang gradually thought of Doctor Lu. He had been devoted to the medical field for many years. Although he was highly respected, he did not seem to like socializing with others. It would be difficult for her to gain his approval.
In the afternoon, the sun shone through the window lattice and sprinkled on the blue brick floor. Chen Fang had made all preparations. She put the prescription neatly in her arms, brushed her black hair, and walked briskly towards the courtyard where Doctor Lu lived.
Xiaoyue reminded softly from behind: "Girl, slow down. This road is not smooth, don't fall."
At this moment, Chen Fang accidentally kicked a stone on the side of the road, immediately lost her balance and almost fell, but fortunately she stabilized her body in time. Elder Yin passed by and saw this scene and said, "Young lady, please be careful when you walk. If you can't protect your own safety when practicing medicine, how can you save people?"
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Yin. I will be extra careful." She smiled slightly, feeling a warmth in her heart, and then continued walking.
Arriving at Doctor Lu's courtyard, the sun was shining, making the courtyard peaceful, and the bamboo shadows swaying in the wind seemed lonely. She knocked on the door lightly, silently saying in her heart: "I hope he can accept me."
"Come in." A soft moan came from inside, sounding a little tired.
When she opened the door, she smelled a scent of medicine. What she saw was Doctor Lu sitting on the floor. He was about thirty years old, with a pale face and a hint of melancholy between his eyebrows, but his eyes were as clear as a lake, like a bright stream of light.
"Doctor Lu, my name is Chen Fang. I have come to visit you specifically regarding our previous cooperation on new drugs. I hope you can give me some advice." She spoke cautiously and respectfully, her tone full of old feelings.
Doctor Lu raised his eyes slightly, as if surprised, and then recovered his composure, "Why do you need me to teach you about the new medicine, Miss Chen, please do as you please." After that, he continued with the prescription in his hand.
Although Chen Fang felt a little disappointed, she was unwilling to give up easily, so she continued respectfully: "I have heard that you are an excellent doctor. If we can work together, we will be able to develop better medicine."
Doctor Lu looked up, a trace of thought flashed across his deep eyes, and then he turned back to focus on the herbs and said lightly: "I have other plans and am not in a hurry to cooperate."
Seeing the situation at a stalemate, Chen Fang's heart tightened, but the phrase "saving lives is the most important thing" came to her mind, so she mustered up her courage and said, "But if we can use each other's wisdom to treat more patients, wouldn't it be a better thing?"
Doctor Lu was touched by these words. He frowned slightly and seemed to be thinking. After a long time, he slowly said: "What you said makes sense, but mutual trust is the basis of cooperation."
"Mr. Zhang, you are here." A middle-aged man with a slightly nervous expression came forward respectfully. It was Li Ming, a drug dealer who had never appeared in the world.
"Boss Li, I heard that you have rare medicinal herbs, so I came here specially to check it out." Zhang Jian smiled slightly, his words were gentle and elegant.
Li Ming was startled, but looking at Zhang Jian's handsome face, he decided to put his mind at ease. After all, young people are always immature. He said softly, "Mr. Zhang, you are indeed extraordinary. I have a few medicinal herbs in my hand, which are really good and may complement your medical skills."
"Oh? Please tell me in detail." A trace of inquiry flashed across Zhang Jian's face, and his eyes flashed with wisdom.
Li Ming took down several small packages from the hanging shelf and carefully placed them on the table. After opening them, a faint medicinal fragrance emanated. "This is snow lotus grass, which can clear the mind and improve eyesight, and even improve blood circulation; this is a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, which nourishes and strengthens the body; and this is a single-horned lotus, which is well known for its miraculous effects."
Zhang Jian leaned over to examine them carefully, his eyes wandering over the herbs, then he looked up and said, "You are absolutely right, these herbs are indeed precious. But how much do you know about the combination of medical skills and herbs?"
Li Ming was slightly stunned, then showed a humble look and replied: "Mr. Zhang, you are a famous doctor, I am just an ordinary businessman, I know a little bit. But I know that a real doctor understands the relationship between the medicinal properties of the herbs and the patient's condition."
"That's right." Zhang Jian was enlightened, and a glint flashed in his eyes. "The medicinal herbs you have can undoubtedly help me cure many stubborn diseases, but if they are not combined properly, I'm afraid it will backfire."
Li Ming nodded silently, as if he understood something. Zhang Jian continued, "I hope you can tell me the source of the medicinal materials and how to use them in detail, so that we can cooperate better."
"Yes, I'll explain it in detail right away." Li Ming heaved a sigh of relief and quickly explained the collection time, growth environment, and previous usage cases of each medicinal ingredient.
Time passed quietly, Zhang Jian listened carefully, occasionally interrupting to ask some details. Li Ming gradually felt the other party's profound knowledge, like a truth-seeking and pragmatic scholar.
"Do you think that combining snow lotus and unicorn lotus can produce better results?" Zhang Jian suddenly asked, with unusual excitement in his eyes.
Li Ming seemed to be enlightened. He thought for a moment and said seriously, "As far as I know, snow lotus can soothe the mind and calm the nerves, while unicorn lotus can eliminate heart fire. The combination of these two complements each other with their medicinal properties. Perhaps it can have a miraculous effect on some patients with heart diseases."
"It's very likely!" Zhang Jian's face was filled with excitement, and he immediately said, "We should conduct some experiments to explore more possibilities. This will not only help patients, but also make your medicinal materials shine."
Li Ming was delighted to see Zhang Jian's enthusiastic attitude, and then nodded solemnly: "Mr. Zhang, you are absolutely right. I am willing to cooperate with you, and I only hope that the research results can help more people in need."
