Seeing Lu Guan's expression, Lu Fan smiled slightly. He suddenly said, "You can also let your friends pick them up themselves. I can give you a fifty percent discount."
"You... how did you know I was picking them up for friends?" Lu Guan asked, startled.
"I guessed!" Lu Fan shrugged.
In fact, it wasn't hard to guess. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and Lu Guan naturally had his own friends. If he had many friends in the entertainment scene, this would naturally be a topic of conversation for them.
Lu Guan searched his pockets and found over a thousand yuan. After hesitating, he said, "Alright! I'll call my friends to come over."
New users get a fifty percent discount, so his own money, being the sucker's, shouldn't be wasted. After speaking, Lu Guan went to make a phone call nearby.
Lu Fan smiled slightly, this was the effect he wanted. Last time he went to the pharmacy, he specifically checked, and this kind of medicine cost one or two hundred yuan per pill. His own Jǔshén Dān was much stronger than those medicines and had no side effects. Especially seeing Lu Guan's appearance, five hundred yuan was still worth it!
"Master! You... come and see!" Lin Fang suddenly called out.
Lu Fan turned around and saw a young lady, about twenty-one or twenty-two years old, standing next to Lin Fang. The young lady was pretty, but dressed very simply, wearing a pair of cloth shoes on her feet, clearly self-made. At this moment, she looked shy, lowering her head demurely.
"Master! This little sister has irregular menstruation. To be honest, we've never had any effective medicine for this kind of illness. We can only provide slight relief. Master, do you have any solutions?" Lin Fang asked.
"Little sister, let me take your pulse!" Lu Fan said with a slight smile.
The young lady timidly extended her wrist for Lu Fan to take her pulse. After examining her pulse for a while, Lu Fan wrote a prescription for medicinal cuisine and left.
Lin Fang looked at the prescription, then looked up at the young lady beside her. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Little sister! It's not irregular menstruation you have, it's excessive cold leading to kidney problems. Do you often wear single shoes in winter!?" Lin Fang suddenly said.
"Mhm!" The young lady nodded timidly.
"Little sister! Your illness needs proper conditioning, and it's unlikely to be resolved with just one meal. How about this, let my master refine a medicinal preparation for you. Follow me!" Lin Fang said, standing up and preparing to lead the young lady upstairs.
"Will it... cost a lot of money?" The young lady suddenly asked Lin Fang with a hint of timidity.
Seeing the look in the young lady's eyes, Lin Fang's heart was suddenly stirred. From that gaze, she could see more helplessness, powerlessness, and timidity.
"No! Don't worry! It's very cheap." Lin Fang called Xinxin over to keep an eye on things, then took the young lady upstairs herself.
Meanwhile, four or five people arrived at the hotel entrance, the very friends Lu Guan had called. They were all good friends who often drank together, the kind who could go to Tiānshàng Rénjiān together after drinking to find pretty young ladies. They could even brag about who could last longer during intercourse.
Lu Fan went directly to meet them, not letting them enter the hotel at all. New customers were five hundred yuan per pill, and those introduced by Lu Guan also enjoyed a discount, charging only four hundred yuan per pill. Of course, they could buy a second pill, but it would cost a thousand.
They all bought one pill and then rushed off to test the effects.
Lu Fan then went to a nearby pharmacy, bought some Chinese medicinal herbs, and hurried back before going straight upstairs.
Lin Fang was waiting with the pretty young lady in a private room upstairs. At this moment, Lin Fang looked sympathetic, while the young lady had tear stains on her face.
Lin Fang had just asked the young lady, whose name was Yueyue! She was a rather pitiful child. Abused by her stepmother since childhood, being beaten and starved was commonplace, and in winter, she didn't even have enough clothes. She wore single shoes in both summer and winter.
Recently, the young lady felt very embarrassed, experiencing blood in her urine. She wanted to go to the hospital, but she was too shy and also lacked money. She heard that Yìxiānggé Hotel had medicinal cuisine that was very effective, with many patients cured after just one meal. So, she secretly saved tens of yuan and wanted to try.
"Master!" Seeing Lu Fan walk in, Lin Fang immediately explained the situation to Lu Fan. Lu Fan was also filled with righteous indignation. Such a thing, such parents, were truly infuriating!
Indignation aside, the most important thing now was to treat Yueyue. Yueyue had absorbed cold qi over many years, causing it to invade her kidneys and lead to severe nephritis. If this condition were not treated promptly, it could lead to serious kidney failure and be very difficult to cure.
Taking out the newly bought medicinal herbs, he refined a small pill on the spot for Yueyue to take. Then, in front of Lin Fang, he had Yueyue lie on the sofa and used his internal energy to expel the cold qi from her body. After everything was done, Lu Fan was already covered in sweat.
"Why are you hiding here?" Suddenly, Fan Xue'er appeared at the door. Seeing a pretty girl on the sofa in disarray, and Lu Fan covered in sweat, Fan Xue'er's nose twitched, and she almost burst into tears.
"I'm seeing a patient," Lu Fan quickly explained.
"You... you're not allowed to lie to me! I don't have any relatives in China, you can't bully me!" Fan Xue'er, with red-rimmed eyes, came over and hugged Lu Fan's arm.
"Silly girl. Look, Lin Fang is right here!" Lu Fan said with a dark expression, pointing at Lin Fang.
"They said people like to play together in groups..." Fan Xue'er said, pouting.
"What are you thinking about? Did you learn these things abroad?" Lu Fan's head suddenly felt twice its size. What kind of messy thoughts was this girl having? Lin Fang was practically of auntie age!
"Master! I want Yueyue to stay," Lin Fang said while helping Yueyue tidy her clothes.
"Alright! I'll inform Sister Xuemei," Lu Fan nodded.
Outside the Yìxiānggé Hotel, a black commercial vehicle pulled up. Old Master Bai and Yang Qian, Yang Xiu, got out of the car. Following behind them were the fifth master of the Bai family, Bai Bin.
As soon as they got out of the car, they saw that the hotel was packed, and they couldn't help but be shocked. Even in the provincial capital, there wasn't a hotel this crowded. It was past noon, and there should have been a lull in business, but the hotel lobby had almost no empty seats.
"Grandpa! You've come in person!" Bai Xuemei ran out of the hotel and quickly supported her grandfather.
"Greetings to both grandfathers! Greetings to Fifth Uncle!" Bai Xuemei greeted Yang Qian, Yang Xiu, and Fifth Uncle, then helped her grandfather inside.
"Mhm!" Yang Qian and Yang Xiu nodded with smiles.
"Mhm!" Bai Bin, however, snorted. No matter how capable Bai Xuemei was, she was still earning their family's money. Not a cent would be given to him. If Bai Xuemei were married to Lin Quan, he could have made a fortune. Alas, it was a pity that it didn't happen.
"Haha! That kid Lu Fan was right, Xuemei is indeed a business genius. It's incredible how she's managed to run the hotel to this extent." As they walked inside, Old Master Bai kept nodding.
"Grandpa, actually, this is all thanks to Lu Fan. Without his medicinal cuisine, our hotel wouldn't be able to achieve this level," Bai Xuemei said quickly.
"Where is that kid Lu Fan?" Old Master Bai suddenly asked.
"Oh! He's gone to get his driver's license!" Bai Xuemei said quickly.
"Old Fifth! In three days, get Lu Fan his driver's license. That shouldn't be difficult, right?" Old Master Bai suddenly turned to Bai Bin and asked.
"Old Master! It's not difficult, not difficult at all," Bai Bin said hurriedly from the side. After speaking, he immediately took out his phone and made a call.
At this moment, Lu Fan was at the registration office for the Yìdé driver's license. He had just registered and paid the tuition fee.
"Miss! How long does it take at the fastest to get a driver's license?" Lu Fan asked the胖 woman who had just collected the fees.
"Go back and memorize the questions. Once you've memorized them, call me, and then wait for notification," the胖 woman said without looking up.
"Miss, I'm usually very busy and have very tight time. Can you try to expedite it?" Lu Fan asked again, not giving up.
"Look who's idle? Whose time isn't tight? Everyone wants to get ahead, everyone wants to get their license, can I arrange it all? Go home and wait for news," the胖 woman suddenly looked up and said impatiently.
"Damn it... your attitude wasn't like this before you took the money?" Lu Fan couldn't help but curse. Damn it! He suddenly had the urge to go berserk.
