“No need to check, it’s definitely correct,” Manager Chen said politely. “These are the bills from Taikang Pharmaceutical. Chairman, please take a look.”
“I’ll look at these later. I’ve just taken over the company and I see many employees idling around. What’s going on?” Lu Fan asked.
“This…” Manager Chen stammered. “The pharmaceutical business is not doing well, and everyone has no work, which is why it’s become like this.”
“You are in charge of the company, you should understand it. Why is the business not doing well?” Lu Fan asked.
“Taikang Pharmaceutical has been losing talent, leading to a gradual decline in drug research and development, and a gradual decrease in sales,” Manager Chen said helplessly. “Before Mr. Lu took over, it was already on the verge of collapse.”
“Is it just drug research and development?” Lu Fan nodded and wrote down a prescription. “Here are the methods for refining several elixirs. They should have a significant impact on the market. Arrange for them to be produced in batches. If these elixirs can be mass-produced, they should be able to bring the company back to life.”
Looking at the prescription, Manager Chen’s eyes lit up. “Mr. Lu actually has a prescription! Is the efficacy of Yangxin Dan really that powerful?”
“Just do as I say!” Lu Fan waved his hand. “If you have any problems at work, feel free to speak up.”
“There are no problems with the work itself, but the process of refining elixirs is complicated. If there is no traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to oversee it, there might be trouble,” Manager Chen said repeatedly.
“That’s fine. I will invite a divine doctor to be stationed here tomorrow. By then, Yangxin Dan will be mass-produced, and I hope there will be no problems,” Lu Fan said directly.
“I will never disappoint Mr. Lu!” Manager Chen stood up straight, instantly filled with fighting spirit.
Before, there was no leader, but Lu Fan’s arrival gave him hope, not for any other reason, but for Lu Fan’s drive alone, which was enough to make him feel this way.
After leaving Taikang Pharmaceutical, Lu Fan did not go back but went to the Divine Doctor’s Clinic.
“Grand-master, why do you have time to come here!”
Bai Xiaosheng was seeing a patient and quickly got up to greet him, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
Many patients nearby looked at Lu Fan with surprise. Bai Xiaosheng was called a little divine doctor and was very skilled in medicine, yet he called Lu Fan grand-master. This seniority was too much.
“Just call me Mr. Lu. I can’t bear the title of grand-master,” Lu Fan gave him a look. “Where is your master?”
“He’s out,” Bai Xiaosheng said helplessly. “There’s a very important person whose child is in trouble at Qingzhou Affiliated Hospital.”
“When will he be back?” Lu Fan asked again.
“He should be back soon,” Bai Xiaosheng said quickly. “Mr. Lu, please have a seat. It shouldn’t be long.”
Lu Fan nodded and sat down on the side. For Taikang Pharmaceutical to refine elixirs, they needed a traditional Chinese medicine master to oversee it to be at ease. The person he thought of was naturally Zhao Handong.
Not long after, a luxury car stopped at the Divine Doctor’s Clinic, and Zhao Handong got out, looking dejected, as if something had happened.
“Master, you’re finally here.” Bai Xiaosheng stepped forward. “Mr. Lu is waiting for you!”
“Master is here?” Zhao Handong was overjoyed. After arriving at the Divine Doctor’s Clinic, Lu Fan was drinking tea, looking refreshed.
“Master, why have you come?” Zhao Handong cupped his fists. “You are a rare guest indeed.”
“I’ve opened a medicinal company, and refining medicinal materials requires control by traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. I wonder if you are interested,” Lu Fan said with a smile. “Your salary will not be lacking.”
“Master, what are you talking about? My medical skills can improve further because of Master’s contribution. As long as Master says the word, I will go through fire and water without hesitation,” Zhao Handong said solemnly.
“Then it’s easy!” Lu Fan nodded. “Tomorrow, you will go to Taikang Pharmaceutical and serve as the drug supervisor!”
“There’s no rush for this matter!” Zhao Handong quickly said. “I do have something I’d like to ask Master for help with.”
“What is it?” Lu Fan asked curiously. “As soon as you came in, I felt that your expression was not right. Did you encounter something? Is there something you don’t understand?”
“I was invited to Qingzhou Affiliated Hospital to see a patient today, and even I was helpless,” Zhao Handong said helplessly. “Master, your medical skills are vast, and even superior to mine. If you were to personally handle it, there should be no problem.”
“What is that person’s condition?” Lu Fan asked. “I am knowledgeable in all sorts of difficult and complicated diseases.”
“That child is only six or seven years old, with a purple glow on his face. He probably doesn’t have much time left,” Zhao Handong said helplessly. “Qingzhou Affiliated Hospital, with the full effort of the entire hospital, still has no effect.”
“There is such a thing!” Lu Fan was slightly curious. “I need to see the condition before I can know the depth of this illness.”
“Why don’t Master come with me!” Zhao Handong said repeatedly. “I have some connections with the dean of Qingzhou. If he hadn’t invited me, I wouldn’t have acted rashly. Unfortunately, I still returned without success.”
“Since he is your friend, I will go and take a look. As for whether I can cure him, I’m not too sure,” Lu Fan shrugged.
“Thank you, Master!” Zhao Handong was overjoyed. With Lu Fan’s intervention, this matter should not be difficult.
They arrived at Qingzhou Hospital, and under Zhao Handong’s guidance, Lu Fan entered the ward. He saw a child receiving an IV drip, but he was still unconscious. His face was pale, and his lips were dark.
“Master, what is this condition?” Zhao Handong asked. “I’ve never seen such a disease before. In my fifty years of practice, I’ve never encountered such a situation.”
Lu Fan looked at it and frowned. “How long has this child been unconscious?”
“It should be about a month, and the condition is getting worse,” Zhao Handong said directly. “Many renowned national doctors have been invited, but they were all helpless.”
“This is not a disease, but an affliction from something unclean,” Lu Fan shook his head. “Acupuncture alone cannot cure it.”
“This…”
Zhao Handong looked a bit embarrassed. He did not believe in ghosts and spirits. If this were not said by Lu Fan, he would not have believed it at all.
“You don’t believe me?” Lu Fan said with a wry smile. “But I suppose so. You are just a mortal doctor and don’t understand the mysteries of the eight trigrams!”
“Master, you are very knowledgeable and must have a way!” Zhao Handong said earnestly.
“I’ll try. I’ll use acupuncture to perform the Qimen Dunjia, along with my cultivation. It won’t be difficult to expel the thing from him,” Lu Fan said directly.
Zhao Handong showed joy. If it could really succeed, he would have helped the dean of Qingzhou.
This child’s identity was not simple, and the dean of Qingzhou had been worried for a month. If it could be resolved, it would be even better.
Lu Fan took out silver needles and searched for acupoints on the child, then began to perform acupuncture. This child was afflicted by something unclean. Besides acupuncture, Lu Fan also set up the Qimen Dunjia, which was necessary to expel that unclean thing.
Just then, several attending physicians walked in. Seeing the scene before them, they immediately frowned. “Who are you people? How dare you perform acupuncture here! Do you know the patient’s condition!”
