  Fu Dongquan's home was where he entertained his guests, and the Fu family business was in traditional medicine, so they naturally had an abundance of medicinal herbs. After Wang Xu left that day, Fu Dongquan personally ground some Tribulus terrestris into a powder and began administering it to Fu Weihua.

  It really worked, after taking it once, the next day, Fu Weihua looked a lot more spirited. Originally, Fu Weihua's illness was a heart problem, and the longer he was depressed, the harder it was to open up his heart knot, liver qi stagnation. Although it had been over a year, and he had talked about a new girlfriend, but the root of the disease was hard to eliminate.

  His heart was not open, and he looked naturally gloomy and depressed. He forced himself to be spirited, but due to his impotence, he felt inferior and had no energy at all. Wang Xu's medicine was aimed at this heart disease of his. The medicine could clear the yin and yang, relieve depression and fire. After taking the medicine once, Fu Weihua felt much lighter and more energetic.

  After taking the medicine for three consecutive days, although there was no significant improvement in his condition, Fu Weihua's overall demeanor had become much more optimistic, as if he had regained his confidence. Even this morning, when he woke up, he still had a slight erection, which never existed before.

  At first, when Wang Xu wrote the prescription, he said that taking it according to the prescription would guarantee a cure in a month. At that time, Wei Hua was still half-believing and half-doubting, but after three days, he completely believed it. With this trend continuing, not to mention a month, in half a month, he could regain his vitality.

  Fu Weihua's condition improved, and Fu Dongquan and his wife were overjoyed. In the afternoon, they specially went out to buy a lot of dishes and called Zhang Tianyou to invite Wang Xu to come home for dinner.

  Having someone over to eat at home is vastly different from going out to a restaurant. The poorer the person, the more they think treating guests at a restaurant is more dignified. However, for rich people like Fu Dongquan, it's different. Treating guests outside is clearly distant and absolutely not as warm as having them over at home. Being able to invite someone to eat at home proves that one doesn't stand on ceremony.

  As for Luo Tong, there are many people who can eat with him outside, but few can really eat at his home. That's the reason.

  When Wang Xu agreed, Zhang Tianyou immediately expressed his willingness to come over and pick up Wang Xu in person, asking where Wang Xu was at the moment. Wang Xu made excuses, but finally couldn't bear Zhang Tianyou's enthusiasm and told him their address.

  About twenty minutes later, Zhang Tianyou drove up and saw Wang Xu and Bai Zijie coming down from the building. He hurriedly smiled and said: "This place is really hard to find, I almost drove past it. What brings you here?"

  "I just live here, I haven't moved in for long," Wang Xu explained.

  "Do you live here?" Zhang Tianyou was somewhat puzzled: "Didn't you used to live... two days ago?" Three days ago, he had personally sent Wang Xu back to the Jianghuai Garden Villa. Now, suddenly seeing Wang Xu living here, his heart felt a bit disappointed. Although Bai Nongxin rented a three-bedroom apartment, this place wasn't very good either, and the house was an old one from several decades ago.

  "I just arrived in Zhongjiang and stayed at Qiao's place for the past two days." Wang Xu said with a smile.

  "Brother Qiao!" Zhang Tianyou was taken aback, and then asked in surprise: "Is it Qiao Bin Kai of the Qiao Group?" In his impression, there was only one family with the surname Qiao in the villa district.

  "It's Qiao Bin Kai." Wang Xu nodded.

  "Hiss!" Seeing Wang Xu nod, Zhang Tianyou's face remained expressionless, but he secretly took another deep breath of cold air, feeling even more unable to see through this young man.

  The other party can take out Luo Hanshang's letter, which shows that the relationship with the Luo family is not shallow. They also interact with the Qiao family in Jiangzhou and can live in the Qiao family villa. The relationship with the Qiao family is absolutely not superficial. Moreover, their medical skills are not bad. Fu Weihua's stubborn illness for over a year began to show some improvement in just three days.

  "Are young people nowadays so formidable?" Zhang Tianyou muttered to himself, and was even more polite to Wang Xu, personally opening the car door and inviting Wang Xu and Bai Zijie in.

  When they arrived at the foot of Fu's building, the whole family was standing downstairs waiting. When Wang Xu got out of the car, Fu Dongquan hurriedly came to greet him: "Dr. Wang, you've finally arrived. I was worried that Tianyou wouldn't be able to invite you."

  Fu Dongquan's words were somewhat exaggerated, but they weren't entirely off the mark. When Wang Xu first arrived, he wasn't very polite to Wang Xu, and his wife didn't even bother to acknowledge him. Now that Fu Weihua's illness has taken a turn for the better, he naturally knows that Wang Xu's medical skills are exceptional. People like this generally have strange personalities, so it's normal if they get angry easily.

  "Ha ha, don't even joke about it, I'd never miss a free meal," Wang Xu said with a smile, introducing Bai Zijie to Fu Dongquan and the others: "This is my sister, Bai Zijie."

  "Hello, Miss Bai." Fu Dongquan greeted politely, and several people chatted and laughed as they went upstairs together.

  "Doctor Wang, please wait a moment, the dishes will be ready soon." A few people entered the house and sat down in the living room. Fu Dongquan's wife hurriedly said with a smile.

  "How have you been feeling these two days?" Wang Xu asked with a smile after sitting down.

  "The whole person feels much more relaxed, before always feeling empty in the heart, forcing oneself to be spirited but still lacking energy. Now I'm full of spirit and even my smile is more natural." Fu Weihua smiled, the smile on his face completely genuine, unlike Wang Xu's last visit which was completely perfunctory.

  "Come on, I'll take your pulse again." Wang Xu nodded, listening to the sound, Fu Weihua's recovery was indeed not bad.

  Wei Hua hastily stretched out his arm, and Wang Xu carefully listened for a while before releasing his hand with a smile: "Indeed, you've recovered very well. Your illness was caused by emotional factors. When your mood is low, your desire will decrease. Now that your spirit has recovered, your bodily functions will naturally recover slowly. However, you still need to be careful. Even after recovery, you must not overexert yourself within a month."

  "I understand, thank you, Dr. Wang." Fu Weihua hastily nodded his head and said gratefully. For a man, regaining his vitality is undoubtedly a rebirth, and Fu Weihua's gratitude towards Wang Xu was completely heartfelt.

  Not long after chatting in the living room, the dishes were ready. Several people sat down at the dinner table together, and Fu Dongquan took out his treasured few bottles of Maotai to personally toast everyone.

  There were only six people in total, the dishes were very rich, and a few people ate and drank, the atmosphere was pretty good. After eating for a while, Zhang Tianyou suddenly asked: "By the way, Dr. Wang, didn't you say you wanted to open a clinic a few days ago? How's the preparation going?"

  Wang Xu was originally thinking about how to ask Fu Dongquan about the medicinal materials, and at this time Zhang Tianyou spoke up, which happened to be in line with his intention. He smiled and said: "Everything is almost ready, the store is starting to be renovated, but we still haven't found a suitable supplier for the medicinal materials."

  "That's easy to say." Fu Dongquan hastily spoke up: "Our family is in the business of selling medicinal herbs, if Doctor Wang doesn't mind, I'll supply the herbs myself."

  "Actually, I was going to ask you too, Boss Piao." Wang Xu nodded and changed his tone: "However, the quality of the medicinal materials I need is very high, I don't know if Boss Piao can meet it."

  "Look at what you're saying." Fu Dongquan was somewhat displeased: "Our Fu family has been operating a pharmacy in Zhongjiang for thirty years, and our reputation is still pretty good. Besides, even if I were to cheat someone, it wouldn't be you."

  "To be honest, the reason I haven't settled on the medicinal herbs for these past few days is that many of their qualities are not up to my standards. When it comes to treating illnesses and saving lives, there can't be even a slight bit of sloppiness. This is something I must personally oversee." Wang Xu said seriously.

  Everything else can be negotiated, whether it's renting a house from Bai Nongxin or renting a storefront from Qiao Bin Kai, because of their good relationship, he doesn't mind at all, but this medicine is absolutely not allowed.

  Whether it's traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, treating illnesses and saving lives relies heavily on medication. If the medicinal materials are not up to par, even Hua Tuo would be powerless to help, so no matter how good Fang Zhongjing guarantees his products to be, he must make sure they're of high quality from the start, lest things end in unpleasantness.

  "On this point, Doctor Wang, you can rest assured. Every single medicinal material we supply to you, you can personally inspect. If there's even one that doesn't meet standards, after paying the price, we wouldn't have the face to continue doing business in this line." said Fu Dongquan.

  "Alright, I'll come over personally tomorrow to take a look. If it's possible, from now on the medicinal materials will be handled by you, Boss Pei. As for the price, whatever others offer, that's what I'll give you." Wang Xu nodded and said.

  Just then, Wang Xu was stubborn about the medicinal materials, and Fu Dongquan didn't shirk on the price with Wang Xu either. He nodded his head, and this matter was settled.

  After discussing the medicinal materials, Zhang Tianyou asked about the opening time of Wang Xu's clinic and told him to notify him when the time came. The few people chatted and laughed, and before they knew it, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening.

  After dinner, Dong Quan made tea again. Several people sat on the sofa drinking tea and chatting, also to sober up a bit. Until 9:30 in the evening, Wang Xu took Bai Zijie and Zhang Tianyou back.

  Zhang Tianyou drove the car again, personally sending Wang Xu and Bai Zijie back. Halfway through the drive, a call suddenly came from Bao Nongxin, saying that one of the construction workers had accidentally fallen off the scaffolding during renovation.

  Without thinking much, Wang Xu simply asked about the situation and found out that the injured had been sent to the hospital. He hurriedly told Zhang Tianyou to change direction and go to the hospital.

  The patient was sent to the Central Hospital of Zhongjiang City. When Wang Xu and others arrived, Bai Nongxin was waiting at the entrance of the hospital corridor, with a look of despair on his face. He only managed to muster up some energy to greet them when he saw Wang Xu and Bai Zijie arrive.

  "Uncle Bai, how is it? Is the injury very serious?" Seeing Bao Nong's appearance, Wang Xu felt that something was wrong and hastily asked.

  Bai Nong Xin shook his head and let out a deep sigh: "The hospital asked us to prepare for the worst."
