Huian Pharmacy.

Yan Xiaoping walked in with a prescription: "Hello, I’d like to get some medicine."

"Chinese medicine?"

"Yes."

"Do you have a prescription?"

"Yes."

Yan Xiaoping handed the note with Lu Xuan’s prescription written on it to the other party.

The staff at Huian Pharmacy took one look and immediately felt the handwriting was somewhat familiar, but couldn’t recognize it right away. Instead, they looked up and said, "This is just a prescription written on plain paper, not an official prescription, so I can’t help you get the medicine."

Yan Xiaoping’s face froze: "Then what should I do?"

"Can you find the doctor who gave you the prescription?"

The staff thought for a moment and said, "If the medicine was prescribed by a hospital, you could get a stamp from the hospital, or bring the previous prescription from the hospital. We generally don’t fill prescriptions written on plain paper. If there are any issues after you take it, we can’t be held responsible."

"But this prescription wasn’t from a hospital," Yan Xiaoping explained.

"It was written by Dr. Lu at a Western medicine clinic for me."

"Dr. Lu?"

The staff frowned: "Let me see the prescription."

Yan Xiaoping wasn’t sure why they wanted to see the prescription again, but handed it over.

The staff looked carefully and the familiar handwriting, along with the mention of Dr. Lu, reminded her of the young man who came to the pharmacy with a prescription yesterday. So she asked, "Did a young man in his twenties give you this prescription?"

Yan Xiaoping was taken aback: "How did you know?"

Seeing the surprised look on Yan Xiaoping’s face, the staff knew she was correct about the handwriting and smiled: "It really was him." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"If it’s him, then there’s no problem with this prescription."

She said, taking the prescription and heading into the medicine cabinet to start preparing the medicine according to it.

Yan Xiaoping was a bit dazed.

Just now it wasn’t allowed, and now it is?

However, she did pick up on something.

The staff at Huian Pharmacy probably knew the person.

So, Yan Xiaoping couldn’t help but ask: "Do you know Dr. Lu?"

The staff seemed to understand the implication in Yan Xiaoping’s question and smiled: "Kind of, but he came to our pharmacy yesterday to get medicine for his elderly father and impressed us with his extensive knowledge of Chinese medicine. Naturally, we remembered him.

I don’t know how you found him to write you a prescription, but despite his young age, he’s really capable. Our pharmacy’s manager offered him a five-figure salary per month, and he still wasn’t interested.

This is Anjiang County; I wouldn’t even dare to think about a five-figure salary."

Having said that, she couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Yan Xiaoping’s eyes widened, and she stood there stunned for a while, seemingly trying to fathom just how much a five-figure salary is.

She’s been working in Anjiang County for about ten years, with a salary mostly hovering around three thousand, sometimes more, sometimes less, but never exceeding four thousand, and at the lowest, maybe just two thousand.

She also knows quite a few people working in Anjiang County, but none of them earn more than five thousand.

Even some lower-level civil servants find it hard to exceed five thousand, and that’s including the benefits; otherwise, it’s even less.

As for a ten thousand monthly salary, in Anjiang County, she doesn’t even dare to dream about it.

But now, the staff at Huian Pharmacy actually told her that Huian was willing to offer Lu Xuan over ten thousand per month, and her heart was understandably shaken.

Yet after the shock, she felt a bit of delight.

The willingness to pay a five-figure salary undoubtedly affirmed Lu Xuan’s capabilities, otherwise, they wouldn’t offer such a large sum.

All at once, she felt confident about her own illness.

Shortly after Yan Xiaoping left with her medicine, Mao Yong hurriedly came in.

The staff took a look at the same handwriting and looked up: "Prescription by Dr. Lu?"

Mao Yong looked puzzled, wondering how the staff knew.

However, the staff didn’t bother to explain much, since if it’s a prescription by Lu Xuan, there’s likely no problem, and after all, he is a Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor and has the qualifications.

...

The morning quickly passed by.

Lu Guoquan hurried back from the city, but it didn’t take him too long.

This time, he mainly went to confirm what medicines were needed. He wouldn’t need to bring them back himself, as the city’s pharmaceutical company would send them via logistics, and he would just wait to receive the medicines at the clinic.

However, after a morning of running around, Lu Guoquan gulped down several sips of tea as he stepped inside.

"Why are you back so early?"

Lin Fangling shouted from the kitchen when she heard movement in the living room.

Lu Guoquan explained loudly: "Just confirming the medicines. It’s not a big deal, so it didn’t take long."

Lin Fangling acknowledged with a word and said: "Since you’re back, go to the clinic and have a look. Since you’re not there today, I’m not sure if Old Li can handle the rush alone, with the flu season peaking, there are quite a few people getting injections and buying medicines."

"With Xiaoxuan and the others around, how could it be too much to handle?"

Lu Guoquan said with a displeased tone: "Moreover, Yongzhen is there too, he can take care of the injections and such. Old Li probably has an easier time today than when I’m there, you don’t need to worry about it.

And Xiaoxuan, after all, is a doctor. He can lend a hand with minor tasks."

"Isn’t it because Xiaoxuan studied Traditional Chinese Medicine?"

Lin Fangling wiped her wet hands and came out of the kitchen, saying, "The clinic is all about Western medicine, I really don’t know why you insist on having Xiaoxuan help out? Plus, his friend is here, and spending some time showing his friend around Anjiang County would be good. But you, you just have them working for you right away."
