With the rise of Jin Yitang, both Huayao Group and Renhe Pharmaceuticals felt a strong sense of crisis. Who would have thought that in an era when traditional Chinese medicine was in decline, there would suddenly be a heaven-defying traditional Chinese medicine clinic that could cure all kinds of incurable diseases such as late-stage cancer? In just half a month, their sales of Western medicine had stagnated. If this situation was allowed to continue to develop, the consequences would be unimaginable.
…
…
It was ten o 'clock at night. The air was stuffy and humid, like a fog. The red lights in the distance made the night even quieter.
Two black SUVs came to a stop in front of Jin Yitang's main entrance. Following the sound of the door opening, a tall woman and a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties got out of the SUVs. Each of them had a chauffeur and a secretary with them.
The woman was wearing a business suit. Her hair was neatly tied up at the back of her head. Her face was charming and fair, and her eyes were lightly painted with eyeshadow. Her eyes were as clear as water, and her voluptuous figure gave off a wild charm. Her voluptuous breasts, round buttocks, and crystal-colored high heels made her exude a noble and elegant aura.
The middle-aged man had a kind face. He had a lot of hair on his head, but his hairline was high, making him look bald.
"I didn't expect President Shen to choose this time to visit Jin Yitang. It seems that we have a tacit understanding," the middle-aged man greeted the woman with a smile.
Shen Qingyan glanced at him and then looked at the entrance of Jin Yitang. "This Jin Yitang came out of nowhere. If we don't handle it well, it will be devastating for both our families."
"That's right. Let's put aside our grudges for now and work together to deal with this threat," the middle-aged man said with a sigh.
He was the boss of Renhe Pharmaceuticals, Cai Renhe. He gestured for Shen Qingyan to enter. "After you, President Shen!"
Shen Qingyan did not decline. She strode in with her high heels, followed closely by her chauffeur and secretary.
Jin Yitang's decor was very retro. The lights inside looked like ancient lanterns, but they were actually electric bulbs. The walls were decorated with portraits of famous ancient doctors and their achievements.
The hall was square with sandalwood tables and chairs. On both sides of the hall were medicine cabinets with rows of drawers filled with traditional Chinese medicine. Even the air was filled with the smell of traditional Chinese medicine.
When Shen Qingyan and Cai Renhe walked in, there were a few people cleaning the place.
"Miss, Sir, I'm so sorry, but Jin Yitang is already closed for the day. If you would like to see a doctor, please come back tomorrow."
A woman dressed in an ancient maid's uniform greeted them with a smile. She had short, neat hair and delicate facial features. She looked like a pretty girl from a humble family. If Zhang Dashan were here at this moment, he would definitely recognize her as Xiao Luo's younger sister, Xiao Ruyi.
"Little Sister, I'm not feeling too well. Could you please make an exception and get the head of Jin Yitang Clinic to come out and take a look at me? I'll definitely reward him handsomely," Shen Qingyan said calmly. If she wanted to see the head of Jin Yitang Clinic, she had to come up with a lie.
Cai Renhe took a step forward and bowed. "That's right, young lady. There are too many people during the day, and it's a little inconvenient for us because of our identities. That's why we chose to visit you at this time. I hope that you can make an exception for us."
As he spoke, he asked his secretary to hand over a stack of red banknotes and put it on the table. It looked like there was at least 50,000 yuan.
"Alright, for the sake of the money, I'll make an exception this time."
Xiao Ruyi smiled as she kept the banknotes. Then, she sat down on the armchair with her hands behind her back. She looked up at Shen Qingyan and Cai Renhe and asked, "Which one of you wants to take a look first?"
Shen Qingyan and Cai Renhe looked at each other. Then, the latter bowed again and said, "Young lady, we'd like to ask the head of Jin Yitang Clinic to take a look at us personally.
"I'm the head of Jin Yitang Clinic!"
Xiao Ruyi took a cup of hot tea from the staff of Jin Yitang Clinic. She was as mature as a female doctor from ancient times.
You're the head of Jin Yitang Clinic?!
Shen Qingyan and Cai Renhe were shocked. They looked at Xiao Ruyi carefully. They could not believe what Xiao Ruyi had just said. How could the miracle doctor be so young? Moreover, she was a woman. They had imagined that she was an old Chinese doctor.
"Little Sister, please ask your head of Jin Yitang Clinic to come out. We don't have much time …"
"You don't believe me?"
Xiao Ruyi looked at Shen Qingyan, who was speaking.
Shen Qingyan did not know whether to laugh or cry. She thought to herself, What's a little girl like you doing here?
At that moment, a red thread flew out of Xiao Ruyi's sleeve as if it had a life of its own. It traveled at lightning speed, crossing a distance of more than three meters. Before Shen Qingyan could react, the red thread had already wrapped itself around her right wrist.
Everyone present was shocked by Xiao Ruyi's move. Cai Renhe even let out a cry.
"Using silk to feel the pulse?!"
His eyes widened in shock. He had a certain understanding of Chinese medicine and knew that this was a unique skill in Chinese medicine. There was a similar description in "Journey to the West" where Sun Wukong used silk to feel the pulse of the King of Zhu Zi Country. The scene was almost exactly the same. However, this was a vivid interpretation of reality.
Shen Qingyan was equally shocked. She could not believe that the soft red thread could cross a distance of more than three meters and gently wrap itself around her wrist.
"Pass this lady a chair!" Xiao Ruyi placed the end of the red thread on the armrest of the armchair with four fingers of her right hand.
"Yes."
A staff member obeyed and passed a chair to Shen Qingyan.
Shen Qingyan's mind was in a daze. She subconsciously sat down when a chair was brought over.
"Clear your mind. Don't think about anything at this moment!"
Xiao Ruyi instructed. She closed her eyes and carefully sensed the weak vibration transmitted from the red thread.
The hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. No one dared to breathe. Their eyes were fixed on Xiao Ruyi.
Cai Renhe wanted to find evidence to prove that this was just a magic trick, but he failed in the end. The red thread did not have any traction. It was just an ordinary rope that was as light as a feather. However, it had flown out of Xiao Ruyi's sleeve, crossed a distance of more than three meters, and wrapped itself around Shen Qingyan's wrist.
It was too unbelievable. It was too unbelievable!
If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that such an unbelievable thing could happen in this world.
After a while, Xiao Ruyi opened her eyes. With a flick of her finger, the red thread automatically released Shen Qingyan's wrist and quickly retracted back into her sleeve. She stood up and looked at Shen Qingyan with her hands behind her back. "Your period is usually delayed by two or three days. Moreover, every time it comes, it hurts so much that you want to die. You often feel dizzy, tired, and sore around your waist. Am I wrong?"
