Two minutes later, sixty-eight people were lined up.
Shen Lang looked at the middle-aged man at the front and smiled, "Huang Liangmeng, that's quite an ominous name."
"Emphysema, pleurisy, heart disease, bronchitis, head cold... you have over a dozen ailments, and you can still come to work? I can only admire you."
After taking the man's pulse, Shen Lang directly stated all his physical problems.
"Director, you truly are a divine doctor. Just by feeling my pulse, you've seen through all my bodily ailments. Your two fingers are more effective than the machines at large hospitals."
Huang Liangmeng looked at Shen Lang in shock, giving him a thumbs-up. "The last time you saved Old Luo, I already thought your medical skills were unparalleled. Now I'm even more convinced. You are definitely the foremost doctor in Long Country."
"These illnesses are all due to neglect. I had early signs during check-ups, but I kept delaying treatment, and it has led to this. There's nothing I can do; I simply haven't had the time to get treated."
Huang Liangmeng said with a wry smile, "Others only see our impressive demeanor, not how exhausted we are. We're basically in the office all 365 days of the year. When I get home, my son treats me like a stranger, and my wife looks at me with unease. Our families are almost falling apart."
"Is that so..."
Hearing this, Shen Lang smiled. "That won't be the case anymore. After I take office, we will implement a system of working two days and resting five days a week, with Saturdays and Sundays off. This will allow you to spend time with your wives and children, or go on dates with your boyfriends and girlfriends."
"Director Shen, is that even possible?"
Upon hearing Shen Lang's words, not only did Huang Liangmeng's eyes widen, but everyone else looked at Shen Lang with disbelief.
For them, let alone weekends off, they would be content with even one day off a month.
"Of course, it's possible."
Shen Lang yawned lazily and said, "The reason you often work late into the night is simply because the workload is too heavy, and you can't finish it without staying up. I've developed a medicinal soup called 'Da Li Shen Tang' (Great Strength God Soup). After drinking a bowl, your energy will be ten times more vigorous than it is now. What used to take ten hours to process, such as case files, can now be completed in one hour. With that in mind, do you still worry about not having weekends off?"
As soon as he said this, Yu Youwei and the others' eyes widened, and they all exclaimed in unison, "Director Shen, is that true? If it is, that would be wonderful! We don't want to stay up all night working overtime every day. Look at some of our colleagues; they're developing bald spots before they even turn thirty."
"Don't worry, what I say is true. As for your hair loss, I guarantee I'll cure it all."
Shen Lang waved his hand grandly. "As soldiers under my command, you must all be full of vigor and spirit. What kind of impression does it make to be so listless?"
Shen Lang continued, "After I've treated everyone's ailments, I'll write down the prescription for Da Li Shen Tang for you. Drink one bowl every week, and I guarantee you'll all be full of vigor and spirit."
"However, I have already given the prescription for Da Li Shen Tang to a young lady, and she has registered the patent. So, you absolutely must not use it for commercial purposes. Otherwise, if you get sued by her in the future and lose all your fortune, don't come crying to me."
Currently, medicinal soups on the market are categorized from one to nine stars, with Da Li Shen Tang being the highest, nine-star. The prescription alone is worth tens of billions. Shen Lang had to make his stance clear upfront, otherwise, if these people were to sell the prescription in the future, that girl would truly make them bankrupt.
"Director Shen, rest assured. We have all studied the confidentiality regulations and know what to say, what not to say, what to do, and what not to do. We guarantee that we will not let anyone else know your prescription besides ourselves."
Huang Liangmeng looked at Shen Lang, his voice filled with excitement. "If you're really worried about us leaking it, then perhaps you could just make a bowl for us every week."
"That's a good idea. Let's do that. I am indeed worried about the prescription being accidentally leaked, and that girl coming after me."
Shen Lang agreed with Huang Liangmeng's suggestion and said to everyone.
For the next two hours, Shen Lang examined and treated every member of the group. He cured everyone's ailments, leaving Yu Youwei and the others feeling an indescribable sense of comfort, as if they had been reborn.
Of course, after this experience, Shen Lang also became more familiar with these people. He not only remembered everyone's names but also learned about each person's specialties.
For example, Huang Liangmeng, despite appearing to be a simple and honest middle-aged man, possessed eyes that were frighteningly sharp. Not only could he read a thousand words at a glance and possess photographic memory, but when it came to any antique calligraphy or paintings, a single glance would allow him to identify its authenticity and even the artist.
As for Old Luo, who had suffered a myocardial infarction and was saved by Shen Lang last time, his name was Luo Zhengguo. Though he appeared honest and could barely utter a word, he was a doctor of economics. He was not only thoroughly familiar with various global economic criminal methods but also knew how to extrapolate and prevent all sorts of economic crimes.
In short, all sixty-eight of these individuals possessed unique talents, and their specialties were all at the pinnacle of their respective fields.
After two hours, everyone else had left the office, except for Yu Youwei.
Yu Youwei was not wearing her uniform today, but a pair of white flat shoes, blue jeans, a white shirt, and her long hair tied up in a ponytail. She looked less heroic but more youthful and charming.
"Director Shen, when new officials take office, they usually make an example of others with a show of force. But your 'three fires' were actually acts of kindness. You are truly unconventional."
Yu Youwei sat on the desk, smiling playfully. "After your three fires, everyone is convinced by you. You've truly established yourself."
"Weiwei, you're overthinking it. I don't need to make an example of others or play the good guy to win their hearts. I did this simply because I want you all to adopt a different way of working and a different way of living."
Shen Lang smiled. "If you can complete your work on time without having to stay up late and exhaust your lives, why wouldn't you?"
"As for you, Yu Youwei, why haven't you left while everyone else has?"
Hearing this, Yu Youwei smiled playfully. "Director Shen, I'd love to leave, but my parents are out of town, and I don't have a husband, children, or even a boyfriend. If you give me time off, I wouldn't know where to go. Perhaps you could find me somewhere to go?"
"Go to my house and be a maid, sweep the floors and cook for me?"
Shen Lang said with a wicked grin.
"I can do that. I'm willing to serve Director Shen."
Yu Youwei smiled charmingly and agreed on the spot.
