Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1208 Doctors Can’t Be Crafty

Bian Mu could guess to some extent what Qi Yuewei was thinking about this small gathering.

Qi Yuewei couldn't make up her mind about Bian Mu at the moment. The underlying logic in her heart was relatively simple: the difference between the two of them in their respective levels was quite large, so she had to ask her relatives and friends to help her make a decision.

Some time ago, as Qi Yuewei's most trusted person, Qi's father had already played such a role, but... so far, it seems to have no effect.

The reason why the Qi family has been able to maintain the same proportion of investment in the vicinity of Lijin should be due to the decisive role played by Qi's father. With his shrewdness, he would not gossip about Bian Mu in front of his precious daughter, and he certainly would not do such a thing as making something out of nothing that is so materialistic.

This time, Qi Yuewei once again used the magic weapon of "relatives and friends group" to meet again through the "magic eyes" of her girlfriends. If this level can be passed smoothly, in a sense, Bian Mu will at least have stepped into half of the Qi family's circle of friends. In contemporary society, if the circle of friends can accept Bian Mu... then his parents will probably be no problem either.

Based on this special background, Bian Mu naturally felt a little uncomfortable from time to time in the mansion.

The so-called Miss Xing and the man suddenly mentioned the topic of "hanging thread diagnosis". Bian Mu did not think much about it, just regarded it as a courtesy of the hostess. Doctor! If I don't talk to you about some medical anecdotes, will I discuss with you the hot topics of business such as stock fluctuations, futures trends, exchange rates, etc.? !
"Doctor Bian is well-known. After meeting him today, I find that he is indeed extraordinary. He can explain such a mysterious medical skill as 'diagnosing the pulse with a hanging thread' in great detail. So... would it be convenient for you to demonstrate it on the spot?" Sister Xing said politely with a smile.

"Here? That won't work. On the one hand, where can we find things like sheep gut strings for a zither nowadays? On the other hand, the pulse, facial conditions and external symptoms of modern people are much more complicated than those in the old days. It's a bit ridiculous to want to make a diagnosis based on just a few silk strings! Forget it, I don't have that ability!" With a smile, Bian Mu refused.

"Sheep gut strings are indeed hard to find, but... it just so happens that my sister has been learning the violin from a famous foreign teacher since she was young, and she can also play the cello occasionally. In my impression... she seems to be using sheep gut strings, which are custom-made and may not be available on the street! If Dr. Bian doesn't mind, I'll ask her to send some over?" Mr. Ma, the general manager of the so-called "Hongyuan" company, said these words out of the blue.

Hearing this, Bian Mu suddenly became suspicious.

"That's not right! They seemed to have discussed it in advance... What? Are they prepared? Are they testing me on the spot? Or are they trying to embarrass me in front of everyone?! Taking a step back, since we are all gathered together, why don't we just chat, eat something, and meet each other? What? Do they look down on me? Who do they think I am?! A craftsman? Are they making a fool of me?! Performing for you in public?! Even if I am really proficient in this, there is no need for me to demonstrate it to you, right?!" Thinking of this, Bian Mu felt a little angry in his heart.

Out of consideration for Qi Yuewei's face, Bian Mu couldn't get angry in front of her, and it would be even more rude to just walk away in anger.

After holding it in for a while, Bian Mu smiled.

"Sorry! How old is Teacher Lan Bingru?! How old am I? If he has that ability, you can go visit him at home. I am not well-educated and not proficient in this field. You two should ask for help from someone else!" After saying that, Bian Mu stood up and walked towards the place where the piano was placed.

At that time, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Fortunately, Sister Xing and Mr. Ma just smiled at each other and didn't find it strange. Then they stood up and followed. Their behavior was still very polite. Perhaps, in their opinion, that was the minimum cultivation. Qi Yuewei was completely unaware of the unpleasant scene just now. When she saw Bian Mu walking to the piano alone, she immediately greeted the sisters and walked to Bian Mu and chatted with him with a smile.

"How does Xiaohui play the piano?" Qi Yuewei asked in a low voice.

"How would I know anything about this! It sounds so-so, at least... it doesn't match the atmosphere... Besides, we who study medicine are more accustomed to considering issues from a medical perspective. Cao Yueyue has seriously set up a sound therapy room that mainly provides psychological assisted medical treatment. It's quite large! Did you go and take a look?" Bian Mu didn't want to make the party unpleasant, so he changed the subject in a few words.

Although Bian Mu has never played the piano, he is no layman when it comes to music. The reason is very simple. Both the five-note and seven-note scales are directly related to advanced Chinese medicine diagnostic techniques, and he actually knows a little about them!
"I heard that the siblings never invited us. It would be so awkward to show up without permission! From what I hear, you must have been there several times!"

"About two or three times! It's done quite professionally inside and out. It's probably not much worse than Beiqi's. In some aspects... maybe even better." Bian Mu responded with a smile.

When she heard that Bian Mu and Cao Yueyue were very familiar with each other, the so-called Sister Xing couldn't help but show a look of doubt and a little respect on her face. The Mr. Ma who was accompanying her showed an expression of disbelief on his face, as if Bian Mu was not worthy of being on an equal footing with Cao Yueyue.

"Really? She still has this interest?! Then as for the property rights...is it considered a cooperation between you? Or?" Qi Yuewei asked with a smile, her voice tone slightly raised.

Cao Yueyue is an important figure in the investment community of Lijin. In this kind of occasion, no matter what topic is mentioned, as long as it can be related to Cao Yueyue, Bian Mu's value will be raised invisibly. This little trick is simply not worth mentioning to Qi Yuewei.

"It has almost nothing to do with me. It is the independent property of the Cao family, and... as far as psychotherapy is concerned, she and I have quite big differences in basic concepts. Even if we are willing to cooperate with each other, I'm afraid we won't be able to go far and we will have to go our separate ways as soon as possible in the future." Bian Mu didn't have so many trivial thoughts, so he just said whatever he thought.

Upon hearing this, the expression on Qi Yuewei's face changed somewhat.

"You...can't you be a little flexible? This is only you. If it were someone else, Cao Yueyue would have ignored him long ago. Next time she invites you to visit, let me know and I will accompany you to have a good talk with her. Sometimes, a little flexibility can greatly improve the whole situation, for example, seeking common ground while reserving differences!" At this point, Qi Yuewei seemed to realize something and suddenly came to her senses.

At this moment, a young woman with an unusually pretty appearance hurried in from outside.

"That is Mr. Ma's sister, a talented musician who is very focused on what she does. Usually, she seldom attends such occasions. What happened today? Did she come here to play with Xiaokai? Why is it so lively today? It seems that you have more face than me!" Qi Yuewei said with a smile.

"That's not the case! She probably came here to give her some guitar strings." With a smile, Bian Mu briefly revealed the content of the unpleasant conversation just now.

"It's okay! Sister Xing and I grew up together, and our two families are old friends, just like real sisters. She won't pick on you. That Mr. Ma is the CEO she hired from overseas at a high salary. He's very capable! He's also quite a gentleman. They can understand that you are capable and have a bad temper. You just don't mind it." Qi Yuewei really became very considerate all of a sudden. It's amazing!
