Chapter 368: Chapter 157: What Our Ancestors Passed Down Might Work Wonders

"Then that’s alright."

Ji Huan breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "How long do we need to take the Nourishing the Root and Strengthening the Foundation Powder?"

"About a hundred days or so."

Lu Xuan explained, "The Nourishing the Root and Strengthening the Foundation Powder has effects such as promoting circulation and removing blood stasis, renewing the old and repairing important organs’ injuries. It definitely won’t work in a short time. To see results, it should take at least over three months; ideally, it should be taken for four months until the body is completely stabilized before stopping the medication.

However, you also can’t take the Nourishing the Root and Strengthening the Foundation Powder too much. After three months, you can start taking it every other day to gradually stop, preventing any adverse effects on the body from suddenly stopping the medication."

Ji Huan nodded, firmly remembering this matter.

Lu Xuan glanced at the time and decided to take his leave: "Uncle Ji, I have to attend a consultation at the United South Chinese Medicine Association today, so I won’t stay longer. If you feel any discomfort, just have your secretary contact me."

"You’re still going to consult?"

Ji Huan frowned, "You hardly slept last night. Why not go home and rest first? At least don’t go for the morning shift. If you’re embarrassed to say it, let me handle it."

Lu Xuan naturally knew the influence of the person in front of him. Aside from the fact that Ji Huan was in charge of health, his word carried weight. If he said something, United South Chinese Medicine Association would certainly give face, even without Ji Huan personally intervening—his secretary passing on the message would suffice, and they’d treat Lu Xuan with reverence.

It sounded a bit exaggerated, but it was true.

However, facing Ji Huan’s kindness, Lu Xuan shook his head and declined: "Really, it’s not necessary, Uncle Ji. I’m still young, staying up one night doesn’t matter. Besides, not many people have booked with me. If no one comes, I can just take a nap in the consultation room."

Although this week Lu Xuan had already promoted his consulting hours at the United South Chinese Medicine Association in the Health Center, the patients who needed to be seen had been attended to this week, so there was no need to make another trip to the United South Chinese Medicine Association.

However, by next Saturday, more people should come.

"Not many have booked you?" Ji Huan was surprised.

"Lu, given your medical skills, maybe not a packed house, but certainly not just a few appointments, right? While we emphasize humility in life and work, excessive humility is just insincere."

Lu Xuan smiled and explained, "Uncle Ji, I’m not being humble. I just went to the United South Chinese Medicine Association last week. Because it hadn’t been promoted before, patients seeking my care don’t know I’m consulting there. Those unfamiliar with me go to Old Huang and Old Zhang, so it’s unlikely they would book me."

With that, Ji Huan understood.

Without promotion, that was indeed the case.

Moreover, Lu Xuan was so young that unfamiliar people truly wouldn’t book him.

Just like when Lu Xuan first arrived, seeing how young he was, Ji Huan was actually a bit apprehensive until Lu Xuan relieved his pain with acupuncture, he gradually felt more at ease with him.

"You really don’t want a day off?" Despite all this, Ji Huan asked again.

"Really, there’s no need."

"Alright, then I won’t persuade you further. Let Jiang take you there, saving you another trip."

After saying this, Ji Huan was about to wake Jiang Shengliang, but Lu Xuan stopped him.

"Uncle Ji, it’s not necessary. Your secretary didn’t sleep much yesterday either, let him sleep a bit longer."

Listening to Jiang Shengliang’s thunderous snores, Ji Huan said with slight annoyance, "Of everyone, he’s sleeping the most soundly. If you look at the time, it’s been four to five hours. Soon, other leaders might visit, so he’ll need to be up to greet them. In the meantime, let him drive you over; he can also take this chance to have a meal before coming back."

With that, Ji Huan directly woke up Jiang Shengliang and instructed, "Jiang, take Dr. Lu to the United South Chinese Medicine Association."

"Alright, let me wash my face."

Seeing Ji Huan had recovered, Jiang Shengliang’s face lit up with joy, and he quickly went to the restroom to wash his face with cold water. Then he said to Lu Xuan, "Dr. Lu, come on, I’ll take you."

At this moment, Jiang Shengliang couldn’t treat Lu Xuan as just any young doctor.

Having saved Ji Huan’s life, such a great merit commanded Jiang Shengliang’s utmost respect for Lu Xuan.

And what stunned Jiang Shengliang most was hearing Lu Xuan call Ji Huan "Uncle Ji."

That was really something.

...

Jiang Shengliang dropped Lu Xuan off at the United South Chinese Medicine Association entrance, got out of the car, and shook Lu Xuan’s hand: "Dr. Lu, I’ll invite you for a meal when you have time."

"Brother Jiang, as I said in the car earlier, there’s really no need to be so formal."

"How is this about formality? A simple meal between friends, is that formality? Or are you saying Dr. Lu doesn’t wish to consider me as a friend?"

Jiang Shengliang feigned anger, "Besides, if it weren’t for your miraculous treatment saving that person, I might have been in trouble too. Treating you to a meal as thanks is only fair."

Ultimately, Lu Xuan couldn’t refuse Jiang Shengliang’s kind gesture and had to nod in agreement.

"Alright, let’s discuss it later."

Jiang Shengliang instantly beamed with delight, "It’s settled then. Once I’m done with my busy period, I’ll arrange a time for the two of us to have a drink."

Having set a meal with Lu Xuan, Jiang Shengliang reluctantly returned to his car and drove away.

Once Jiang Shengliang left, Lu Xuan turned and walked into the United South Chinese Medicine Association.

"Dr. Lu."

As soon as he entered, nurse Bao Weiya greeted Lu Xuan with a smile.
