Chapter 467: Chapter 454 Human Sentiments
“No need, your presence here also helps me out a bit,” Zhuang Qingning smiled slightly.
Since yesterday’s sudden turn of events, Zhuang Qingning wasn’t sure what tools the system would provide for the treatment process, so she had dismissed everyone in advance. Moreover, Cheng Ruize was unconscious yesterday, so there was no need to worry too much about it.
But today, Cheng Ruize was awake. If she was the only one left here to treat him, it would be a bit awkward.
Moreover…
Today, she was fully prepared!
“Yes,” Fang Hou agreed, but still looked somewhat worried, “Are you sure it won’t disturb Manager Zhuang?”
It was unique medical skills, could she really let an outsider see them without any concern?
“No problem,” Zhuang Qingning laughed and opened the prepared small wooden box to take out various necessary items.
The syringe was wrapped in a bamboo pipe, exposing only the tip of the needle. At first glance, it seemed to be just an oddly shaped acupuncture needle. The medications were also covered by porcelain vases, and nothing could be inferred from their outward appearance.
Those with superior medical skills would always develop some unusual medical tools that were different from others, and both Cheng Ruize and Fang Hou were used to this.
“Please help me by supporting your young master’s arm and pull up his sleeve,” said Zhuang Qingning. She let down the curtain off the copper hook by the bed as a simple partition, dropped it beside Cheng Ruize’s shoulder, and let Fang Hou fix it.
“It may hurt a bit later, and there might be a little bleeding. It’s best not to look. If there’s any strange noise, it might distract me.”
Zhuang Qingning explained.
Although the tools were fully disguised, Zhuang Qingning still didn’t want Cheng Ruize and Fang Hou to notice anything during the injection process, so it was safer to disguise it slightly.
If it distracted Zhuang Qingning, it would affect the treatment effectiveness, which Fang Hou would naturally not want. He blocked his own sight with the light gauze in his hand.
Good.
Although the light gauze was thin and one could see shadows through the light, but it was enough to obstruct the sight.
Zhuang Qingning skillfully took the medicated cotton, dipped it into the alcohol stored in the porcelain pot for disinfection, and then carried out the intramuscular injection normally.
A moment later, after delivering the medication, Zhuang Qingning removed the syringe and returned it to the wooden box.
“It’s done,” said Zhuang Qingning, and motioned to Fang Hou to press the cotton for a while, “I just inserted a silver needle soaked in medication into Manager Cheng’s arm. This medicine will slowly permeate his body. Because of the medication, Manager Cheng may feel a bit sleepy in the next few days, which is completely normal.”
“After a few days, when only taking the pills, this symptom will disappear.”
Zhuang Qingning finished speaking and handed a covered porcelain pot to Fang Hou, “This is tomorrow’s medicine. Remember to take it three times a day on time, just like today. And when I come again tomorrow, I will give you the prepared pills.”
“Yes,” Fang Hou respectfully took it over, “Thank you for your hard work, Manager Zhuang.”
“Of course,” Zhuang Qingning smiled, and then said to Cheng Ruize, “Well, Manager Cheng, you should rest well. I’ll come again tomorrow.”
“Thank you, Manager Zhuang,” Cheng Ruize thanked her with a fist and palm salute, and looked apologetic, “I’m sorry that I couldn’t entertain you properly due to my illness. Once I get better, I will definitely invite you to dinner.”
“As for the payment for the diagnosis, let Fang Hou calculate it for you.”
Before Zhuang Qingning arrived, Cheng Ruize had instructed Fang Hou to pay double the usual fee as a special way to thank Zhuang Qingning.
“It was nothing, you don’t need to pay for the diagnosis,” Zhuang Qingning declined politely.
“Absolutely not, even close brothers keep clear accounts. Manager Zhuang, you don’t need to take too much into consideration. The fee for the diagnosis must be paid,” said Cheng Ruize.
Considering that he was so severely ill and Zhuang Qingning was able to cure him, the medicine she used must be exceptional. To a doctor, medicine is a valuable and rare resource, and he couldn’t just take it for free.
“Really, there’s no need,” Zhuang Qingning said somewhat embarrassed, touching her nose, “It’s not that I’m particularly generous, but I plan to discuss some business with Manager Cheng in the future. You can consider this as a token of goodwill for our future partnership.”
As for Moon Incense, as long as the product could be made, it should be outstanding. Looking for a partnership, whether it was with Cheng Ruize or other partners, should not be difficult.
What was coming up next was getting the soap-making formula. At that time, it would definitely be better to take on the whole process from production to sales. And collecting the raw materials would also be a big hassle.
Given her current abilities and energy, she couldn’t start another workshop like this in the village. She must cooperate with others. Furthermore, this cooperation required her partner to invest a lot of money and energy.
In that case, it would be best to find a partner who trusts her and has some tacit agreement. Cheng Ruize, under the current circumstances, was the perfect candidate.
Even though Cheng Ruize had worked with her before, and Zhuang Qingning could see that he was business-savvy, it didn’t necessarily mean that Cheng Ruize could see the benefits and future potential of soap. If he didn’t approve, this favor could support him for a while, until he saw the results of the business.
“Oh? What business…” Cheng Ruize regained his energy at the mention of “business”, and immediately wanted to sit up, only to realize that his body was still weak from the illness, and he looked apologetically at Manager Zhuang, “Let’s discuss it in detail after a few days.”
“Exactly, let’s discuss it in detail after you recover,” laughed Zhuang Qingning, “There’s no rush.”
“Manager Cheng, rest well. I’ll bid you goodbye.”
“Indeed, Manager Zhuang. Fang Hou, please see Manager Zhuang out.”
Fang Hou answered affirmatively and led the way.
Zhuang Qingning followed him out.
Just as she was about to cross the threshold, someone approached from the opposite direction. Zhuang Qingning noticed someone in front of her and quickly stepped aside to avoid a collision.
“Doctor Qin?”
Seeing the newcomer, Fang Hou was surprised, “You didn’t leave?”
Yesterday, after asking Doctor Qin to take Cheng Ruize’s pulse and confirming that Zhuang Qingning’s treatment was effective, Fang Hou relaxed. He followed Zhuang Qingning’s advice, gave up on Doctor Qin’s prescription, paid double the normal fee for the diagnosis, and planned to send Doctor Qin back to the city as soon as possible.
But Doctor Qin said it was a bit late and he was afraid of traveling at night, so he decided to leave the next morning.
It was a long way to invite the doctor. The journey was exhausting and tiring.
