Lin Xuan bought back the meat broth, and the girl could already sit up. Due to her prolonged bed rest, her muscles had atrophied significantly, leaving her with no strength.
After drinking some of the meat broth, the girl's face regained some color and she looked much better.
Since the girl had just woken up, Lin Xuan and Long Xiao didn't mention the pharmaceutical factory. They only left their contact information for the factory director and left.
As they were leaving, Long Xiao reminded the director to have his wife examined as soon as possible.
The next morning, as soon as Long Xiao finished his morning exercises, he received a call from the pharmaceutical factory director.
The director informed Long Xiao that the transfer agreement had been drafted and asked him and Lin Xuan to come over to sign it and complete the transfer.
The director didn't mention his wife, likely because she hadn't gone for her examination.
"Director Huang, has your wife had her physical examination yet?" Long Xiao asked.
Director Huang found it strange. Long Xiao had cured his daughter's illness, and he was going to give him his pharmaceutical factory. Logically, Long Xiao should be concerned about the factory, not whether his wife was sick.
"Mr. Long, have you noticed something? Feel free to speak your mind."
"Director Huang, I feel your wife's complexion is very poor. She might be ill. It's best to get it checked out quickly to avoid any delays due to illness."
"Thank you for the reminder. I will arrange for her examination as soon as possible."
Director Huang waited for Long Xiao and Lin Xuan at the factory. The two of them took a taxi directly to the factory. Director Huang was genuinely intending to give the factory to Lin Xuan, so the signing process was very smooth.
After the paperwork was completed, Director Huang summoned the management team to his office and introduced Lin Xuan and Long Xiao to them.
As Director Huang was about to leave, Long Xiao asked, "Director Huang, now that you've given us the factory, what do you plan to do?"
"Me?" Director Huang thought for a moment and said, "I don't have any plans yet. If all else fails, I'll look for a job."
Long Xiao glanced at Lin Xuan. He knew Lin Xuan was a workaholic. Now that the factory belonged to Lin Xuan, she would work tirelessly to ensure its rapid development.
"Director Huang, why don't you stay? I'll hire you to continue as the factory director, with a monthly salary of twenty thousand yuan."
Director Huang was worried about not being able to support his family without the factory. Long Xiao's offer to have him stay with a good salary was very appealing, and he readily agreed.
After Long Xiao and Lin Xuan thoroughly understood the factory, Lin Xuan began to worry. The factory had a limited product line and low output, making development very difficult.
Seeing Lin Xuan's worried expression, Long Xiao felt a pang of sympathy and said, "Wife, how about I help you with sales? You just focus on increasing production."
"Do you have sales channels for medicine?" Lin Xuan asked, surprised.
Long Xiao shook his head and said, "Not yet, but I will in a couple of days. You can completely rest assured about this."
The pharmaceutical factory management personnel present all thought Long Xiao was boasting.
The head of the sales department said, "Boss, sales are not easy. If our factory produces at full capacity, we can make at least two hundred thousand boxes per month. Even if all the hospitals in Donghai use our medicine, it won't be enough."
"If hospitals in surrounding cities also use our medicine, wouldn't our medicine be in short supply?"
The head of sales nodded and said, "Of course, but that kind of situation only exists in dreams."
Long Xiao chuckled and said, "Dreams do come true."
After the factory transfer was completed, Lin Xuan stayed at the factory to reorganize. Long Xiao went to Xinglin Caotang to check on the renovation progress.
Workers were busy renovating the front courtyard. Mingyue heard that Long Xiao had arrived and rushed to meet him.
"Master, I have many questions. Can you help me answer them?"
Long Xiao followed Mingyue to a room in the back courtyard and began to answer his questions.
Mingyue's medical skills had improved very rapidly recently, but he lacked internal vision due to the absence of green vital energy in his body. Long Xiao was also unable to alter his physical condition.
It took Long Xiao an hour to answer all of Mingyue's questions.
Mingyue's diagnostic ability was already quite good. What he lacked now was experience. Long Xiao decided that after Xinglin Caotang opened, he would have Mingyue and Mi Tianfu make house calls together, while he would be responsible for dispensing the medicine.
As he left Mingyue's room, Long Xiao encountered Luo Tianshui. His bandages were gone, but the scars on his face were still noticeable.
The "Long Cang" contained several prescriptions for eliminating scars. Long Xiao wanted to make some scar removal medicine to treat him.
When Long Xiao shared his idea, Luo Tianshui shook his head and said, "Thank you, Brother Long, but it's better for me to keep this scar. Someone is chasing me. By keeping the scar and altering my appearance, it will be easier to hide."
"Why are those people chasing you?" Long Xiao asked, curious.
Luo Tianshui smiled and said, "Can I not say?"
Long Xiao nodded and said, "Of course, you can. This is your private matter. I was just asking casually."
While Long Xiao was chatting with Luo Tianshui, Mi Tianfu came running in from the front courtyard.
"Brother, a beautiful woman is looking for you. She said she has something that requires seeing you in person."
Long Xiao followed Mi Tianfu to the front courtyard and saw a tall and hot woman in tight pants standing at the entrance, looking at the two of them.
"You must be Dr. Long, right? Hello, my name is Lu Ying."
Long Xiao extended his hand and shook Lu Ying's. Lu Ying's small hand was boneless, incredibly soft, and smooth.
"Ms. Lu, what can I do for you?" Long Xiao asked directly.
Lu Ying nodded and said, "I heard that Dr. Long's medical skills are incredibly profound, capable of treating all sorts of difficult and complicated diseases. I also heard you can concoct a divine medicine that can even cure people in a vegetative state."
Long Xiao smiled and said, "Divine medicine is an exaggeration, but I do know a little about medicine."
"Dr. Long, I am here to seek medicine. My maternal grandfather is paralyzed from the waist down. I want to buy a medicine that can cure him, no matter the cost."
Long Xiao shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Lu. The nine pills I concocted have already been sold. Since the 'Tongluo Dan' requires certain special herbs, I don't have them on hand right now, so I can't make any more."
"Whatever medicine is needed, I will find it for you. As long as the 'Tongluo Dan' can be made to cure my grandfather's illness."
Long Xiao had used up all the more than a dozen precious herbs in the Xinglin Caotang pharmacy. The replenishment herbs were not old enough. Long Xiao was worrying about how to obtain enough aged herbs.
Since Lu Ying could procure the herbs, Long Xiao didn't hesitate. He took Lu Ying to a room in the back courtyard and wrote down more than ten types of medicines on paper and pen. These included herbs needed for concocting the 'Tongluo Dan' and other elixirs.
Holding the list written by Long Xiao, Lu Ying said happily, "Dr. Long, I will find these herbs as soon as possible."
After seeing Lu Ying off, Long Xiao returned to the Lin family. Nangong Yue was loudly scolding Lin Shijie, who was holding a blue and white porcelain bowl with an innocent look on his face.
"You're an adult, can't you do something proper every day? Where do you get so much money to waste?"
Long Xiao found it strange and asked, "Dad, what's going on?"
Seeing Long Xiao, Lin Shijie saw a savior and quickly said, "Long Xiao, quickly take a look for me. I bought this Yuan blue and white porcelain bowl for fifty thousand yuan, but your mother insists it's fake."
Long Xiao glanced at the porcelain bowl Lin Shijie was holding and said, "Dad, this is obvious. Buying a Yuan blue and white for fifty thousand yuan must be fake."
"Why do you say it's fake too? Everyone who saw it on the way back said it was real."
Long Xiao took the bowl, examined it carefully, and then turned it over, handing it back to Lin Shijie. "Dad, look at the inscription on it."
The inscription was very small, only clearly visible to someone with good eyesight. It read 'For microwave use'.
