"Hmm, it's fine now."
Lu Xuan casually replied, then redirected the conversation: "But..."
Hearing the 'but', Wang Youqing actually breathed a sigh of relief. Such a severe illness, even the City First Hospital had told them to prepare for funeral arrangements. You've cured him, and that's fine, but completely without issues? How is that even possible?
Having an issue would be normal.
"However, having survived a long illness, he still needs to recuperate properly for six months. During this period, he probably won't be able to do even light labor." After speaking, Lu Xuan sighed.
For Zhang Song, coming from rural life, laying in bed for months unable to work, with no source of income, he might feel quite anxious.
"Uh..."
But Wang Youqing's expression froze upon hearing this.
Needing a year or eight months of rest is considered a problem?
This is considered a problem?
Someone who was just notified a few days ago to prepare for funeral arrangements has come back to life in your hands and the price is merely needing to rest. Compared to death, this isn't really a problem, is it?
At the registration window, Yuan Na's expression was also frozen, her eyes vacant, hardly believing what she heard.
Someone about to die, whose family had already started preparing for funeral arrangements, just revived like this, and it was her health center that saved him.
Although it didn't have much to do with her, she felt honored.
As a member of the health center, at this moment, she felt a sense of elevation.
Regarding Lu Xuan's mention, she thought the same as Wang Youqing. Compared to death, needing to rest really isn't an issue.
Seeing the ghostly expressions on these two, Lu Xuan seemed to guess something and sighed: "For those with work, naturally it's nothing, but for a farmer, unable to work for months, with no income source, having to sit idly at home might be worse than death itself.
City folk might not feel this deeply, possibly not at all, but undeniably, this is a reality.
Unseen yet truly existing."
Wang Youqing went silent, and Yuan Na also fell into silence.
After a while, Wang Youqing patted Lu Xuan's shoulder: "No matter what, at least this family didn't shatter because of your presence, right?"
"Yes."
Lu Xuan nodded solemnly, suddenly feeling the weight on his shoulders grow heavier.
But at the same time, he gained a deeper understanding of the word 'medicine'.
Medicine is benevolent art.
A benevolent person of noble character must be deep in feeling.
"I'll call the dean, she needs to know about this, she's been worrying about Zhang Song these past two days as well."
Wang Youqing said, then walked to the side to dial Hu Meiqiao's number.
"Old Wang, what's up?"
Hu Meiqiao might be on the subway, the sound around her was a bit noisy, but it didn't affect Wang Youqing's report.
Wang Youqing organized his thoughts and briefly explained Zhang Song's situation.
"Dean, Ms. Wu just brought her husband to the health center..."
Before Wang Youqing could finish, Hu Meiqiao's breath became rapid: "Did something happen?"
"Nothing happened."
Wang Youqing quickly explained: "Dr. Lu just took Zhang Song's pulse, his condition has improved, he's no longer in danger, now he just needs to rest well."
After saying this, Wang Youqing could feel Hu Meiqiao's breath on the other end pause.
After a while, a trembling voice came: "Really?"
"Really."
Having known each other for seven or eight years, she knows Wang Youqing isn't the type to joke about such matters.
"Good, good, this time Dr. Lu has achieved a great merit."
Hu Meiqiao excitedly said good repeatedly.
Even though she kept advising them to go to a big hospital that day, as a doctor, she also hoped the patient's illness could be treated and not to give up any hope.
Now that Zhang Song had indeed recovered, she felt happy for him.
At the same time, she gained a clearer understanding of Lu Xuan's abilities.
This is definitely not something a young doctor who only interned at the District Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital for half a year could achieve.
"The District Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital might regret it this time."
"And Liu Rong... the District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine's dean might even want to kill him."
Lu Xuan is a treasure wherever he goes.
At this moment, Hu Meiqiao thought of many things.
"Alright, Old Wang, I know about this matter, let's talk more at the unit tomorrow."
After hanging up, Wang Youqing came back: "Lu, Yuan Na, let's go get something to eat first."
"Alright, I'll close the door."
After speaking, Yuan Na, carrying a shoulder bag, came out of the registration room, and gave a thumbs-up to Lu Xuan: "Dr. Lu, awesome."
"Not bad." Lu Xuan laughed heartily.
"That's more like it, excessive modesty is just hypocrisy." Wang Youqing chimed in.
Lu Xuan shrugged, saying no more.
"By the way, where's Sister Huilan?"
"Oh, in the evening the kid has classes, her husband has to work overtime, can't get away." Yuan Na explained.
The three joked and laughed as they left the health center, went to the noodle shop on the opposite side, each ordered a bowl of noodles to fill their stomachs; otherwise, by the time Cheng Gaowen and others came, the three would be starving.
After eating, the three strolled in a nearby park, found a pavilion to sit down, and chatted about daily life.
"Dr. Lu, I heard from Uncle you don't have a girlfriend yet?"
"No, I don't."
Lu Xuan shook his head.
"Want me to introduce one?"
Yuan Na smiled and said: "An intern doctor from the Ninth Hospital, twenty-four years old, almost the same age as you, very pretty, comes from a good family, if you're interested, I'll send you her photo, and introduce her on WeChat."
"No, no."
Lu Xuan waved his hand in fright, "Let's leave it to fate, thank you, Sister Yuan Na."
"What a pity, our Dr. Lu is so talented, it's just that my niece doesn't have that fortune!" Yuan Na sighed but didn't say anything more.
These matters always require mutual consent, can't be forced.
Lu Xuan broke into a sweat, initially thinking Yuan Na was talking about some friend's daughter, didn't expect it to be her niece.
Beside him, Wang Youqing suddenly said: "I was just planning to introduce my friend's daughter to Lu, didn't expect Yuan Na to beat me to it, but..."
Shopping here, Wang Youqing looked at Lu Xuan: "Lu, you really don't want to take a look?"
"I've seen Yuan Na's niece, she's lovely, has a good nature, and being a doctor, you'd have stuff to talk about."
"Yes! Yes!"
The two of them bombarded Lu Xuan with recommendations.
But Lu Xuan, being someone reborn, had seen plenty of this, rich in experience, handling it adroitly.
Thankfully, seeing that Lu Xuan really had no intent on this matter, the two didn't press further, allowing him to sigh in relief.
Shortly after, Wang Youqing received a call from Cheng Gaowen, she and Zhou Liting were on their way, would arrive in about half an hour, and asked the three of them to secure a spot in advance.
The nightlife street on Qiu City Street was bustling, especially in the summer, packed in the evening, go late, there might be no seats.
The three got up to head to the nightlife street, as they passed the health center entrance, Lu Xuan stopped and said to them: "Uncle, Sister Yuan Na, you guys head over first, I need to get something upstairs."
"Alright, we'll send you the location when we get there." Wang Youqing nodded, not overthinking it.
Lu Xuan chuckled: "It's just across the street, can't find it, just shout."
"True."
Watching Wang Youqing and Yuan Na leave, Lu Xuan didn't delay, quickly went to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department on the second floor, downed the liquor-neutralizing concoction, counting on this cup of Little Chaihu Decoction enhanced with Atractylodes and Polygonum.
After finishing, Lu Xuan received the location from Wang Youqing.
A lobster restaurant.
Lu Xuan could see the lobster restaurant's sign from the second floor, without hesitation, he quickly left the health center and arrived at the lobster restaurant.
On the second floor.
Seeing Lu Xuan had arrived, Wang Youqing slammed a bottle of Daliang Mountain liquor in front of him: "Lu, didn't get to drink with you last time, you won't escape today."
"Alright."
Lu Xuan boasted heroically: "Today I'll keep you company till the end."
I'm serious about drinking.
But, Lu Xuan had to admit, he couldn't compare with Wang Youqing in terms of drinking capacity.
Yet, he had an ace up his sleeve!
