Chapter 1345: Sharing Honor and Disgrace Together

After receiving a call from Bian Mu, Assistant Zhang went to greet him at the door of their company.

"Just this noodle? And this chili seasoning?" Mu had already explained it clearly on the phone. As soon as they met, Assistant Zhang asked casually.

"Yes! Find someone to help do some testing to see if there are any special...unknown chemical components in it. Thank you for your hard work!"

"Hey! We're one family! Why are you being so polite all the time? Is the Chinese Medicine Clinic almost done drying out?"

"Everything goes well! Please ask the Lin family to send someone to check it out someday. If it doesn't cause any trouble to their family, I'll go to the Nie Mansion in a while. If the old man nods, I'll pay a visit to the other seniors and choose an auspicious day, and then we'll open the business!"

"What?! From what you said... we have to obtain Nie Yixiong's consent in advance? It's a different era now, there is no such rule anymore, right?! Aren't you living too rigidly?!" Assistant Zhang questioned with her beautiful eyes wide open.

"No way! Harmony is the most important thing! Chinese medicine is an integral part of Chinese studies after all! I have to abide by the old rules even if they don't follow them! This is very particular in our profession and cannot be explained in a few words. Have you tried it?"

"I don't have any food to eat right now! Let's go! Let's register this first, and then we can just eat something casually later."

"Let's go! There's a restaurant nearby that makes delicious pan-fried dumplings and their digestive soup is also very carefully prepared. Have you been there?" As he spoke, Bian Mu accompanied Assistant Zhang towards the R&D center building.

……

It was just past lunchtime at the "Hope Pan-fried Buns" restaurant, and the diners who usually stood outside the store had long since dispersed. There were still five or six individual diners sitting in various places in the restaurant, eating leisurely!
Bian Mu was a little hungry, so he ordered an extra portion of vegetarian filling. The side dishes were free, including hot and sour pickles, three kinds of shredded vegetables with soy sauce, and shredded mustard tubers, the three traditional dishes, spicy, fresh and fragrant, specially designed to relieve the greasiness.

"Nie Yixiong and the others have always been very cautious about you. You know that because of Nie Yawen... the Nie family might be able to excuse it, but Cen Songxue has a very weird temper. Aren't you afraid that it will dampen our enthusiasm if you are rejected?!" Assistant Zhang said with a smile while eating pan-fried buns.

"Before... maybe we could just quietly open the door and receive patients. It's legal and compliant. So what if they are a generation older than us?! We make a living with our skills, so we really have nothing to be afraid of. However... the situation has changed a little now. No matter what attitude they have towards me, as long as they allow me to say a few words, the opportunity will naturally come. I will only need to explain for three to five minutes at most, and I estimate their attitude will change a lot." Picking up the bowl and taking a few sips of soup, Bian Mu explained with a smile.

"Oh! You obviously have a lot of secrets in your mind... Can you tell me something?"

"It's nothing. I recently got help from the eldest daughter of the Zhong family. I have made a small breakthrough in the theory of 'Digital Medicine' engineering. After repeated verification, I found it to be impeccable. At least, no theoretical or technical flaws can be found in my work. We are all opening a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, so sooner or later we will have to compete openly. We are honest people and don't do things in secret. Let's show a few cards first. I think it's better to play it openly than to compete in secret. At least, we won't become enemies in the future!"

"Really? I haven't seen you for three days, so I'm sure you'll be amazed! You're even more amazing now! Didn't we agree to visit Mr. Luo a few days ago? It's raining heavily, so I haven't been able to take care of him. Can you find time to visit him someday? I don't know what's going on, but my eyelids have been twitching recently, and I don't want him to have any accidents."

"Then... after the granddaughter of the Lin family inspects the old Lin family mansion, shall we set off?"

"That's the best. Why send a young girl over? Could it be... that the old lady wants to take you as her grandson-in-law?! Hahaha..." At this point, Assistant Zhang was so happy that he laughed out loud.

"There were indeed such rumors before, but later I found out about the precious granddaughter and great-granddaughter of the Lin family! She looks like a returnee from overseas and has nothing to do with me at all!"

"Really? That's not necessarily the case... maybe it's love at first sight!"

"Haha... you're kidding! How's the company's business going recently?" "It's so-so, with a slight improvement. At least... bonuses are still being paid, and no one is being fired. Oh! If we don't upgrade, it'll be bad! Guan Yuelin is busy with his own trivial matters all day long, and doesn't care about the company's major events at all. By the way, he's been getting close to Gong Jianshi recently. I'm worried that they will do something bad to Mr. Luo again, so I've hired someone to keep an eye on them!"

"Guan Yuelin wants to work alone?" Bian Mu asked calmly.

"Him?! He's as cunning as that. He's probably using the idea of ​​using chickens to lay eggs. He's doing some small things in the little piece of land he controls, using Mr. Luo's wealth to hatch his chickens. I heard recently that he's working on some new drugs, some kind of Chinese patent medicine, some special-effect medicine. He's sneaking around all day long, like a thief. Do you think I'm blind?" At this point, Assistant Zhang's words were tinged with anger.

"Perhaps I really can't help you with other things, but as for the matter of unique and effective Chinese patent medicine, Guan Yuelin won't be able to make much waves no matter how hard he tries." As he spoke, Bian Mu informed her of the important news that his female college classmate had come into contact with Mr. Pi and that the major technical translation of the "Digital Medicine" project would usher in a substantial breakthrough.

Hearing this, Assistant Zhang couldn't help but smile.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? You've made me so nervous all day. Are you sure?"

"Hmm! It's almost certain. As far as I know, I might be the only one taking this special path right now!"

"I knew it earlier... I still need your help at the critical moment! There's no wine here, let's have a few drinks to celebrate after we meet Mr. Luo!"

"Huh?! Why did I hear you want to start your own business a few days ago? Why has your attitude changed now?" Bian Mu questioned with a smile.

"It's difficult to carry the whole thing alone! Since you won't help me, let's take it one step at a time. At the very least, we should revitalize the core business of the company. We can't do this without Mr. Luo! Guan Yuelin will have to be forcibly separated sooner or later. There can be no ambiguity about this. Even if you are a master of medicine, I have already seen that Mr. Luo is seriously injured and has little energy. In the future... I will be the one who has the final say over Yiyoukang."

"Really? Let's take it one step at a time! I hope the first new Chinese patent medicine will come from your company's most reliable workshop!"

"That's right! We will advance and retreat together, share honor and disgrace, glory and wealth are ahead, take it down!"

"We advance and retreat together, and share honor and disgrace! Cooperate sincerely and your dreams will come true!" Bian Mu changed the second half.

The knot in Assistant Zhang's heart was inadvertently lifted, and he was in a good mood. He drank an extra bowl of soup instead of wine.

Chatting and laughing, the two reached several consensuses on their future "secret" cooperation. For a moment, both of them were in a very good mood.

……

The case of the seriously ill female relative of Mr. Tong's family was a bit urgent. From that day on, Bian Mu insisted on giving her three injections every day, no more, no less, just three injections. According to the responsible female nurse, the old lady's eyes became noticeably brighter, her appetite began to improve day by day, and her stool became more and more formed.

In the following days, Bian Mu seized the time to start treating old patients who might be basically cured, and cleared up the lists on hand and was ready to move out at any time.

At noon that day, the eldest granddaughter of the Lin family called and said she was going to check out the Lin family's ancestral home.
