In Family Liu's house.
Liu Qunfeng had been waiting in the yard in advance. When Liu Kuan came back last night, Liu Qunfeng knew that Xia Ruofei would come today under normal circumstances. After all, Xia Ruofei had been away for three or four days. It was reasonable for Xia Ruofei to come and check on Elder Liu. Moreover, the medicine left last time had been finished. If he didn't come, there would be no more medicine.
Liu Qunfeng had some faint expectations in his heart — he hoped that Xia Ruofei would be satisfied with Qingyun Island and choose this plan.
Compared to Elder Liu, Liu Qunfeng hoped that Xia Ruofei would choose Qingyun Island.
As the eldest son of Family Liu, he had enough potential to continue to develop and find a last resort for the family thousands of miles away in the ocean. He didn't think so in his heart. If it weren't for Elder Liu's insistence, he wouldn't have agreed to the family invest so much money in Qingyun Island.
In Liu Qunfeng's view, this plan wouldn't lose too much cash. Most importantly, it would protect the family group's shares.
After Liu Kuan came back, he directly reported to Elder Liu and stayed in Elder Liu's room for a long time before coming out. Elder Liu didn't take the initiative to call him, and it was too late to disturb him.
As for Liu Kuan, he had always been directly responsible for Elder Liu. Liu Qunfeng didn't ask Liu Kuan to avoid asking for a rebuff.
So at this moment, Liu Qunfeng's heart was like a cat scratching at it. He was both expectant and nervous.
When Xia Ruofei's Toyota Alpha slowly drove into the yard, Liu Qunfeng subconsciously went up to greet him.
"Mr. Xia, it must have been hard on you!" Liu Qunfeng said enthusiastically.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Minister Liu, you're too kind. Qingyun Island has beautiful scenery. I'm just going there for a vacation."
"It's at least 20,000 kilometers round trip!" Liu Qunfeng said, "It must be very tiring to take such a long flight!"
Liu Qunfeng regretted saying this — wasn't this reminding Xia Ruofei that Qingyun Island was too far away? It was located in the depths of the South Pacific! They had to fly for more than ten hours every time they went there. If Xia Ruofei changed her mind because of his reminder and felt that Qingyun Island wasn't that useful to her, wouldn't she be shooting herself in the foot?
Fortunately, Xia Ruofei didn't seem to have much of a reaction to this sentence. The smile on his face didn't weaken. He just said casually, "Fortunately, I'm still young. Besides, it's quite convenient to fly now!"
Then, Xia Ruofei said, "Department Head Liu, the old man should be awake by now, right? Let me examine him first! "
"Alright! Alright! " Liu Qunfeng quickly said, "By the way, Mr. Xia, the Chinese medicine you prepared last time has been used up …"
"I prepared some last night. Don't worry! The raw materials and herbs are still sufficient for the time being. We won't run out of medicine. "Xia Ruofei said casually.
At this time, Wu Qiang had already gotten out of the car and brought out an incubator from the trunk. Inside was the Chinese medicine that Xia Ruofei had asked Xia Qing to brew last night. Of course, it had also been diluted twice with the solution of the Spirit Heart Flower petal.
Xia Ruofei took the incubator and said to Wu Qiang, "Wait for me in the car for a while!"
"Yes!" Wu Qiang replied.
"Let's go!" Xia Ruofei said to Liu Qunfeng as he carried the incubator.
Liu Qunfeng wanted to ask his subordinates to help Xia Ruofei carry it, but he gave up the idea after thinking about it. He didn't even want to help Xia Ruofei carry it himself. He thought about how Liu Lifang had ruined the medicine last time. It was said that once bitten, twice shy. He was a little nervous now.
Xia Ruofei went upstairs with ease. He first went to the room next door and personally took out the packets of Chinese medicine from the incubator and put them in the refrigerator. Then, he said to Liu Qunfeng, "Department Head Liu, please ask someone to bring the incubator to my car. Also, tell my driver to go back and wait for further orders."
"Alright! Alright! "Liu Qunfeng quickly said.
Then, he waved his hand and called a big man in black to pass down Xia Ruofei's request.
Then, Liu Qunfeng immediately ordered his men to guard the room, especially the refrigerator that contained the Chinese medicine.
Xia Ruofei was already very familiar with the place. Naturally, he didn't need anyone to lead the way. He went straight out and walked to the door of the room next door. After gently knocking on the door, he pushed the door open and stepped into the room.
Old Man Liu was lying in bed and watching the morning news on TV. Although he had retired for many years, Old Man Liu still watched the news broadcast every night. He sometimes paid attention to the news broadcast during the day.
Seeing Xia Ruofei come in, Old Man Liu showed a smile on his face. He waved at Xia Ruofei and said, "Little Xia Ruofei is here!"
"Old Man Liu, I'm here to deliver the medicine and check for you." Xia Ruofei said as he walked to the bedside and asked casually, "How do you feel these days?"
Old Man Liu said, "My physical condition is okay. Although I don't feel better every day like before, at least my condition hasn't worsened. It's just that I've been feeling uneasy. I think … you should give me a reassuring pill today! "
Xia Ruofei chuckled and said: "I can't speak without thinking if I don't have absolute certainty. In short, you must believe me. I will definitely do my best to treat you. "
After Xia Ruofei finished speaking, he put his finger on Old Man Liu's pulse. Then, he closed his eyes slightly and began to check him.
Old Man Liu originally wanted to lead the topic to Qingyun Island, but Xia Ruofei didn't give him the chance at all. After Xia Ruofei began to take the pulse and check, Old Man Liu found it inconvenient to speak. He was also worried that he would disturb Xia Ruofei and cause negligence in the examination.
Therefore, Old Man Liu simply shut his mouth and looked at Xia Ruofei, hoping to see a clue from his expression.
However, Old Man Liu was destined to be disappointed. The expression on Xia Ruofei's face was always very indifferent. There was no psychological change at all.
After a long time, Xia Ruofei opened his eyes and said, "Old Man Liu, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Hearing this, Old Man Liu couldn't help but smile bitterly and say, "Xiao Xia, your words remind me of the story about cow dung."
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but ask curiously, "This … What does it have to do with cow dung?"
"Do you want to hear it?" Old Man Liu asked with a smile.
"A little." Xia Ruofei nodded and said.
"It's said that two people went to play in the prairie, but they lost their way. They were surrounded by the vast prairie and didn't know how to get out." Old Man Liu said tirelessly, "One of them was injured and rested where he was, while the other went to explore nearby. After he came back, he said something to his companion. It's what you said just now. There's good news and bad news, and he asked his companion which one to hear first."
"I'm guessing that his companion wants to hear the bad news first?" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"Yes!" Old Man Liu said, "The person who went to explore said, 'The bad news is that they are indeed lost. Now they can only wait for help because if they wander around randomly, they might go deeper into the prairie. When that time comes, they won't be able to call for help.' In addition, they've already eaten all their food, and there's only grass and cow dung around them. They might have to rely on cow dung to survive. "
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but laugh and said, "They're already in this situation. Can there still be good news?"
"His companion also asked the same question. Guess what the person who went to explore said?" Old Man Liu asked excitedly.
"I can't guess …" Xia Ruofei shook his head decisively and said.
The main reason was that he felt that this story was very nonsensical. He didn't need to waste his brain cells at all. It was better to hear the answer directly.
Old Man Liu said with a smile, "The person who went to explore said, 'The good news is … there's enough cow dung!'"
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but laugh when he heard that. He said, "Old Man Liu, this is really a sad story. But the news I'm going to tell you doesn't have so many twists and turns. I won't keep you in suspense and just say it! "
Speaking of this, Xia Ruofei paused for a moment, looked at Old Man Liu, and continued, "Actually, the bad news is that after this period of treatment, your condition hasn't recovered very obviously. The effect of this substitute prescription doesn't seem to be very good."
Old Man Liu nodded silently. He had already mentally prepared himself for this result, so he didn't feel too depressed. He asked directly, "Then what's the good news?"
"The good news is that your body hasn't continued to deteriorate." Xia Ruofei said, "This at least means that the prescription I developed is at least symptomatic. Before it develops resistance, it can at least maintain your current condition."
"That's good enough!" Old Man Liu said with a bitter smile. "But … I can't even get out of bed now. This kind of life is indeed quite torturous … so … let's go back to what I said just now … I hope you can give me an even bigger surprise this time."
After saying that, Old Man Liu stared into Xia Ruofei's eyes, waiting for his answer.
Xia Ruofei pondered for a moment, then said with a bitter smile, "Old Man Liu, actually, I've told Department Head Liu more than once that I have a strong confidence in the previous prescription. I believe that if the prescription continues to be used, there's a great chance of curing your illness. It's just that now we're suffering from a lack of herbs … Department Head Liu also said at that time that he would do his best to collect the herbs needed. I don't know if it's effective now."
Old Man Liu also revealed a bitter smile and said, "It's a bit embarrassing to say it out loud. We've been searching for so long with great fanfare, but we haven't even found a single herb, so … I might have to trouble you to put in more effort …"
Xia Ruofei said with a helpless expression, "I know … In fact, during this period of time, I've been searching for those herbs through my own channels. As for the effect … it's still a little bit!"
When Old Man Liu heard this, he felt even more confident in his heart. He asked with a happy expression, "How many have you found?"
Xia Ruofei pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe one or two more before we can gather them all! There's already some progress on these two herbs, I'm waiting for news. "
Old Man Liu thought to himself, As expected …
He pretended to be happy and said, "Xiao Xia, at this crucial moment, I still have to rely on you!"
Then, Old Man Liu asked hesitantly, "These herbs must all be very precious, right? You want to collect so many at once, in terms of funds, won't you … "
Xia Ruofei said lightly, "I have enough cash flow, and some of the other herbs are too precious, so there's no clear price tag. I got them through bartering."
"That's great!" Old Man Liu said, "But … we can't let you keep spending money! Even if you barter, you have to pay more or less the same amount of precious treasures, so … why don't you consider the treatment fee plan I proposed a few days ago? You have to choose one, or else I'll feel bad! "
After Old Man Liu said this, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He had finally led the topic to this side.
Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "I haven't found all the herbs yet! Moreover, even if I found all the herbs and made the previous pill, it would only increase the possibility of a cure, but it's not a hundred percent success rate! Or … let's wait until the treatment is successful! "
Old Man Liu thought to himself, If you could really pay after the treatment, why would you spend so much effort?
He thought to himself, but his face was still full of smiles. He said, "That won't do! Even if it's a hospital, the patient has to pay in advance! Even if the final treatment is not effective, the treatment fee can't be refunded! So, there's no such rule! You have to choose a payment plan for the treatment fee now! This way, we can be more at ease … "
Seeing that Old Man Liu was so cooperative, Xia Ruofei took the opportunity to put on an "I can't refuse your kindness" expression and said, "Then … Okay! We'll do as you say! "
Old Man Liu was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Xiao Xia, which plan do you want to use?"
Speaking of this, even though Old Man Liu was very shrewd, he still couldn't help but feel nervous.
