Chapter 257: Meeting Jiang Longcheng Again
Zhu Yanyi shrugged, indicating it was just a casual remark. However, the words carried a different weight for Grandpa Yao and the Boss. Grandpa Yao looked at the Boss with an expression of disappointment, as if iron could not be forged into steel.
"Look at my two disciples," Grandpa Yao said. "They understand this, yet you do not."
It wasn’t that the Boss didn’t understand; he was simply too close to the situation to see clearly. But he knew Grandpa Yao spoke this way because they were friends. If he didn’t care, he wouldn’t bother.
"I will think about it," the Boss said. "Just tell me how to cooperate with the treatment."
"First, give yourself a vacation," Grandpa Yao said directly. "Rest well for a month or two. During this time, I will properly regulate your body."
It was well known that Grandpa Yao was the Boss’s true attending physician. Even if Gu Jingtian was named publicly, it was merely Grandpa Yao’s modesty. Those in high positions knew the close bond between Grandpa Yao and the Boss.
"Fine. I leave my body in your care for regulation," the Boss agreed without hesitation.
Grandpa Yao nodded, made a note, and after chatting for a while longer, they left the hospital room.
Once outside, Zhu Yanyi realized she had just seen the Boss. "Grandpa Yao, I just saw the Boss."
"Yes, you did see him," Grandpa Yao replied, unsure why his disciple suddenly mentioned it.
Zhu Yanyi jumped up excitedly. "I actually saw the Boss! She is one of my idols! Grandpa Yao, you are so awesome!"
Seeing his little disciple’s joy, Grandpa Yao sighed. "You will have chances to see him again. Is there really a need to be this happy?"
"Of course I am happy! It is the Boss!" Zhu Yanyi’s face showed deep admiration. "All the reforms in our Huaxia now are thanks to the Boss. Without her, our family could not have contracted land, and we would not have such a good life now. So, I have admired her since I was little."
"Cough, cough." Gu Jingtian, who had heard this, coughed a few times. "Since you were little?"
"Is that not allowed?" Zhu Yanyi tilted her head up at a forty-five-degree angle, giving her a look that dared her to object.
Gu Jingtian quickly raised his hands in surrender. "Yes, yes. You have admired the Boss since you were little. Is that settled?"
Grandpa Yao laughed and rubbed Zhu Yanyi’s head. "Alright, stop bullying your senior brother. Let’s go back and discuss the next steps. We have three patients, and we three master and disciples will handle them separately."
Zhu Yanyi glanced at Grandpa Yao. "I want to regulate Grandpa Du’s body. So, my one-third share is about right, isn’t it?"
"The patients are our shared responsibility. How can I let you regulate only one person?" Grandpa Yao stated his plan directly. He had thought this through carefully. Gu Jingtian needed to learn the golden needle technique, so full participation was good for her. Zhu Yanyi’s medicinal diet skills had already surpassed him, though she lacked her own reputation yet. Therefore, cooperation among the three was the best approach. "If Madam Ouyang agrees to your plan, you will handle the regulation for all three."
Zhu Yanyi looked shocked. "Grandpa Yao, do you have any shame? Besides, even if I agreed, I have already taken the pulse of Madam Ouyang and Grandpa Du. But I and my senior brother have not treated the Boss. I cannot take on this regulation. You taught us that doctors must not treat blindly. Only by truly understanding everything about the patient can one prescribe medicine. One person, one prescription. This is the characteristic and charm of Traditional Chinese Medicine."
