“Are you sure Chinese medicine can cure my daughter’s illness?”
Hearing Wan Yunting’s detailed explanation of using traditional Chinese medicine to treat her daughter’s heart disease, Ruan Xingwen felt excited, but still a bit disbelieving. She had taken her daughter to so many doctors and TCM practitioners. The more hope she had, the greater the disappointment, so she was afraid.
Immediately, Gu Luotang and Song Sinan, Qi Miaomiao and Wei Renxin with Zhang Xiaoyu, and Jiang Tongxin with her new assistant Xiao Mei, all looked at Wan Yunting. He nodded affirmatively at Ruan Xingwen, “At least I have an eighty percent chance of curing your daughter’s illness!”
Jiang Tongxin nodded and said to Ruan Xingwen, “Doctor Wan is a doctor in our southern Traditional Chinese Medicine department. You might as well let him try treating your daughter with TCM. After all, she is still young, and heart surgery is very dangerous!”
Suddenly remembering something, Ruan Xingwen asked in surprise, “You are called Wan Yunting?”
“Yes.”
Wan Yunting nodded and smiled, “I am a physician in the adjacent Traditional Chinese Medicine department, and also a TCM teacher at Xingyao Elementary School.”
Ruan Xingwen was stunned for a moment. So, the young man in front of her was Wan Yunting!
There had been quite a bit of news about him recently, especially the widely publicized illness of the richest man’s mother. However, since Ruan Xingwen rarely followed such news, she hadn’t recognized Wan Yunting earlier.
“Okay, I agree to let you try on my daughter.”
Having confirmed he was Wan Yunting, Ruan Xingwen nodded in agreement.
Wan Yunting smiled and nodded, “Alright, if the examination here is fine, you can bring your child to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department to see me tomorrow. I will then explain the treatment process to you in detail.”
“Okay.”
Ruan Xingwen nodded, hoping he could truly cure her daughter’s heart disease with Chinese medicine.
“Then we won’t disturb you further.”
Wan Yunting, Gu Luotang, Song Sinan, and the others nodded at Ruan Xingwen and left the ward without further delay, not wanting to disturb the child’s rest. It was almost noon, and Wan Yunting planned to treat Song Sinan, Wei Renxin, and the others to lunch…
“Doctor Wan, wait a moment.”
Jiang Tongxin chased after him and asked, “Is there any news about Ke’er?”
Wan Yunting turned back to look at her and sighed, shaking his head, “I’ve already asked the police to search for Ke’er as a missing person, but there’s no news yet.”
Jiang Tongxin’s expression turned grim, and she said coldly, “Is her disappearance definitely not related to you?”
Wan Yunting’s sword-like eyebrows slightly raised. He didn’t know why Jiang Tongxin was like this. “We have ruled out the possibility of Ke’er being kidnapped. Her disappearance might be related to her family!”
Jiang Tongxin maintained her stance, “Why do you say that?”
“Because all of Ke’er’s identities are fake!” Wan Yunting said seriously.
This made Jiang Tongxin frown.
Wan Yunting said, “Perhaps she had some difficulties that led her to do this, but don’t worry, I will find Ke’er.”
“I hope so.”
Jiang Tongxin coldly threw down a sentence and turned to enter the emergency department.
Gu Luotang and Qi Miaomiao, Song Sinan, Wei Renxin, and Zhang Xiaoyu, who were nearby, were all confused and didn’t know what was happening.
“Teacher Wan, what happened?”
Qi Miaomiao couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity on behalf of Gu Luotang.
This was because on the way back yesterday, Wan Yunting hadn’t told them about Ke’er’s disappearance.
“It’s nothing.”
Wan Yunting still didn’t want to tell them and smiled, “There’s a good restaurant across the street from the hospital. I’ll treat everyone to a casual meal before we go back.”
Gu Luotang and Qi Miaomiao exchanged glances. Since Song Sinan saw that he wasn’t going to say anything, she naturally wouldn’t ask further.
So, Wan Yunting took them to the restaurant for a casual meal. The topics of their conversation naturally revolved around Chinese medicine, and they got along quite harmoniously, enhancing their relationship with each other.
After the meal, Gu Luotang and Qi Miaomiao, Song Sinan, Zhang Xiaoyu, and Wei Renxin each took a taxi back, and Wan Yunting also returned to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department.
Jiang Yichun had also returned and had heard about the events at Xingyao Elementary School that morning. He chatted with Wan Yunting for a while. Then, remembering something, he went downstairs to the pharmacy. The pharmacist He Liren, who was preparing medicine, smiled and said, “Xiao Wan, what medicine do you need prepared this time?”
“Yes, prepare the ointment from last time…”
As he spoke, Wan Yunting handed over a prescription he had just written, “However, the formula is different this time. Please prepare a batch according to this prescription, and I will grind it into powder.”
“Let me see…”
He Liren took the prescription and looked at it, then smiled and nodded, starting to gather the herbs for Wan Yunting. “Xiao Wan, why have you reduced the ingredients for this ointment?”
Wan Yunting, who was smelling the herbs, smiled and said, “This ointment is for beauty purposes, so it doesn’t need ingredients like wild golden thread lotus.”
“Beauty?”
He Liren was stunned. He knew that the ointment he made last time contained many precious medicinal ingredients used for treating scars.
This current prescription had reduced several precious medicinal ingredients, making it a lower-tier version.
“Yes, I plan to produce this ointment,” Wan Yunting said with a smile, not hiding anything.
“Are you going to mass-produce it?” He Liren asked in surprise.
“Establish a beauty brand and then promote it to the public.”
“That would require quite a lot of medicinal ingredients, wouldn’t it?” He Liren exclaimed.
Wan Yunting was taken aback. Pharmacist He was only concerned about the medicinal ingredients. He then said, “Your prescription requires wild dendrobium. Wild dendrobium is very rare now!”
This problem hit a nerve with Wan Yunting. “Are these medicinal ingredients we have all wild?”
“Yes.”
He Liren nodded, “Dean Jiang has strict standards for the medicinal ingredients in our prescriptions. If wild is required, it must be wild.”
“Of course, if it’s something that can only be cultivated artificially and wild medicinal materials cannot be harvested, then cultivated medicinal materials can only be used to replace wild ones. However, for dendrobium, we use wild ones. After all, we sell very little wild dendrobium on a daily basis. If you truly intend to mass-produce this ointment, wild dendrobium will be your challenge.”
“Sigh, I really didn’t know about this.”
Wan Yunting’s head started to ache. The wild dendrobium required for this ointment was an essential ingredient. If this ingredient were reduced, the prescription would not be valid.
“Do you have artificially cultivated dendrobium?” Wan Yunting asked.
“Of course.”
He Liren nodded, “However, the medicinal efficacy of artificially cultivated dendrobium cannot compare to wild ones. After all, artificial cultivation lacks spiritual essence!”
“Indeed.”
Wan Yunting nodded. The so-called wild meant growing naturally in the wild, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Medicinal materials grown in artificial greenhouses lacked the spiritual essence of wild medicinal materials.
“However, there is now imitation wild cultivated dendrobium. That imitation wild cultivation, compared to medicinal materials grown in artificial greenhouses, has better medicinal efficacy. You might consider this!” He Liren said.
“Oh.”
Wan Yunting quickly asked, “Then do you know where this imitation wild dendrobium can be found?”
“It’s in Huoshan, Anhui,” He Liren said. He opened a drawer and took out a business card, handing it to Wan Yunting. “This is a business card that a herb merchant left with me last time. It’s the phone number of a farmer who cultivates imitation wild dendrobium. If you really want to produce this ointment and use a large amount of dendrobium, you can inquire about it.”
Wan Yunting, holding the business card, nodded, “Alright, thank you, Pharmacist He.”
“You’re welcome.”
He Liren smiled and continued to gather herbs for him. Wan Yunting also began to grind all the herbs into powder and then concoct them into ointment…
