"So this Anning Hall is ours now?" After completing all the handover procedures, Sun Youwei could hardly believe that she actually owned a medical clinic.

Although this medical clinic is still under investigation and it’s unknown when it will reopen, plus there are many troublesome issues waiting for them.

Nevertheless, they do own a medical clinic now.

Currently, there is no resident physician, and the former apprentice pharmacists of Anning Hall are unlikely to stay, and there’s also the issue of the "medicine permit."

Even though the medicine permit has not been revoked yet, likely due to Ye Shengyuan being cautious about provoking Song Yunzhong too much and causing a backlash, as soon as this permit falls into Lin Miao’s hands, it might be directly revoked by the Pharmacist Association during the process of changing ownership.

Because Anning Hall did indeed violate regulations in the past, revoking its medicine permit is in line with both industry norms and governmental laws.

Of course, if the Ye Family had bought Anning Hall, then likely it wouldn’t matter, as it has a new owner now, and it wouldn’t be fair for the next owner to bear the crimes of the previous one, right?

Anyway, the power is in their hands, and they have the right to interpret it.

We need to find an opportunity to purchase a batch of medicinal materials from the herbal wholesale market using the medicine permit before it’s revoked.

"Junior brother, does our family have so much money?" Sun Youwei found out that it seems like money is being spent everywhere in the family lately, and even though the tofu workshop is earning a lot daily, it still seems insufficient.

"Don’t worry, our family has money, and it’s all acquired through legitimate means. Senior sister, our family won’t have to worry about money in the future," Lin Miao explained with a smile, "In the future, you still need to learn how to manage money well and be a good housekeeper."

"Me, manage money? I neither understand running a business nor managing it, yet you want me to manage money?" Sun Youwei asked in shock, her eyes wide open.

"You only need to know how to do the accounting and understand the books. If you don’t know, I can teach you, and Mrs. Yun will help you. Being a poor housekeeper can lead to losses," Lin Miao chuckled.

...

"Xia Zhu, go to the East City herbal market immediately and import a batch of medicinal materials. Ensure the quality and try to get all the varieties I need as much as possible," Lin Miao instructed Xia Zhu as he handed her a list of medicinal materials.

"Such a large amount, do we have a place to store it?"

"Yes, I bought Anning Hall. I won’t consider it as open for business for now, but rather use it as a warehouse for storing medicines," Lin Miao said.

"Mr. Lin, now that we have Anning Hall, can’t we just sell finished medicines directly? Why close it?"

"Without a medicine permit, can we openly operate?"

"Without a medicine permit..." Xia Zhu hesitated for a moment, but with her wit, she quickly understood what Lin Miao meant.

And as expected, shortly after Xia Zhu placed a large order at the East City herbal market, the Pharmacist Association issued an industry penalty notice to Anning Hall.

They revoked Anning Hall’s medicine permit and prohibited the continued operation of the pharmacy, but the already ordered medicinal materials could still be fulfilled.

After all, Xia Zhu placed the order and paid a deposit. If the herbal wholesalers do not fulfill it, they would have to pay a large amount of compensation.

This compensation could cover the losses Lin Miao incurred by buying Anning Hall, and this even includes orders from the Ye Family themselves. If they are willing to pay, Lin Miao could make a big profit.

Ye Shengyuan certainly wouldn’t prevent these herbal wholesalers from fulfilling their supply agreements; otherwise, he would be blatantly violating industry rules.

He might create trouble for Lin Miao within the permissible scope of the rules using discretionary power, but if he were to openly disrupt the rules, the ramifications would be significant, and he might not even keep his position.

Who wouldn’t worry that one day they might be subjected to the same treatment by others?

Ye Shengyuan hasn’t reached the point where he can completely cover the sky with one hand.

Regarding the revocation of Anning Hall’s medicine permit, actually, there are people in both the Pharmacist Association and the Physician Association who are against it, after all, since Anning Hall has changed ownership, punishing the culprit, Song Yunzhong, should suffice. When capturing him, the medicine permit was not revoked, and now that someone else has bought Anning Hall.

Revoking the permit now is clearly a targeted action!

Lin Miao seems to be one of the three applicants in this session for the "Path of Saints" trial, succeeding would be the pride of Dongshan Prefecture.

Ye Shengyuan, for personal gain, is relentlessly suppressing the younger generation; such a high-handed approach, while not openly criticized, is inwardly disapproved.

With the revocation of the medicine permit, even if Anning Hall had someone diagnosing, it would go unnoticed, so Lin Miao could only close it and cease public operations.

At this point, closing or not closing the Affordable Medicine Sales Points of Anning Hall’s Convenient Medical Diagnosis Point has lost its significance.

However, Benefit People Pharmacy now has the right to set up a new designated pharmacy point; Xiuyue Square previously had a designated pharmacy and opposed setting another.

The reasoning was barely sufficient.

But now it’s gone, so any further opposition would be baseless.

And Xiuyue Square must have a pharmacy; otherwise, people would have to travel to pharmacies in other squares for medicine, which is both distant and inconvenient, especially if someone urgently needs life-saving medication, any delay could be fatal.

The issue arises.

Over at Lin Miao’s side, Xia Zhu and Shen Haidong had already applied to open a medical clinic with an attached pharmacy. The Medical Bureau had issued permission for opening a medical clinic, something Ye Shengyuan couldn’t block because it wasn’t within his jurisdiction.

However, the granting authority for the medicine permit was in his hands, and without his official seal, the permit would have no legal force, not obtaining industry recognition, and especially lacking certain governmental approval, making it impossible to open a medical clinic.

According to the application sequence, to issue it, they must first meet the joint application by Shen Haidong and Xia Zhu.

Unless they do not meet the application criteria.

This is evidently impossible, as Shen Haidong and Xia Zhu fully meet the criteria for applying for a medicine permit. If Ye Shengyuan stubbornly refuses to issue it, the formerly barely acceptable excuse of giving Anning Hall, in existence for nearly a century, a way out now doesn’t stand.

The reason is gone.

Thus, Ye Shengyuan has only one option: find a competitor who is in every way more qualified than Shen Haidong and Xia Zhu to disrupt their efforts.

Power is not a tool for personal gain. Once conditions are met, those in positions of public authority who obstruct or delay action under various pretexts must face inquiries.

This is also clearly stipulated in the guild’s charter.

Perhaps such provisions are rarely used, but once activated, the problem becomes severe.

If Ye Shengyuan cannot suppress it, no matter how powerful he is, he could be impeached and lose his position as the president of the Physician Association.

Ye Shengyuan is the president of the Physician Association, not the president of the Pharmacist Association, because the regulations stipulate that one can only hold the presidency of either the Physician or Pharmacist Association, not both. Yet, the Ye Family is also the largest medicinal merchant in Dongshan City.

Pharmacists generally depend on physicians, so the president of the Pharmacist Association can only listen to Ye Shengyuan; otherwise, he can’t maintain his position.

Although the guild is led by the court, the work is still done by the various levels of guilds. Ye Shengyuan himself is also the vice president of the guild. In the medical and pharmaceutical industry in Dongshan City, he holds significant power and influence.

Otherwise, how did Ye Xizhao become famous at such a young age?

This is actually a crush scenario, but Lin Miao carries the protective halo of the "Path to Sainthood." Without this, Ye Shengyuan wouldn’t even bother talking about the rules, but now, at least they are still fighting within the rules.

As long as it’s within the rules, he still has a chance to fight.

At least the underhanded moves, the other party doesn’t dare to use them, as it would disgrace the Ye Family.

"That Ye is too arrogant. They’re relying on having a bit of power to act recklessly!" Xia Zhu was furious, knowing they would behave like this, but still got angry when it happened.

"Did you buy all the medicinal materials on the list I gave you?"

"Almost all are bought; there are a few with large quantities they don’t have in stock for the moment," Xia Zhu said.

"That’s good, quickly urge them to ship, to prevent complications, and everything must be checked. Any that are substandard must be returned!"

"Yes, Mr. Lin."

...

"Mr. Lin, there’s some bad news. Don’t get angry when you hear it." Han Chunyang came to Lin Miao for his back again.

After Lin Miao gave him a massage and used acupuncture, the guy couldn’t control himself after he got better, resulting in straining his back again while showing off in catching thieves.

"I told you to be careful. Don’t think you have me to treat you; now I still have ways. Once it becomes permanent damage, I can’t do anything. Catching a petty thief is worth risking it all as a captain? What are your men doing?"

"Listen to me, that Ye Mi Yuan might be transferred to Dongshan City’s Arresting Department..."

"Really?" Lin Miao exclaimed in surprise, suddenly using force in his hand, causing Han Chunyang to cry out in pain.

"Mr. Lin, gentle, gentle..."

"I’m telling you, your back, for two weeks, you can’t get into fights, and also, avoid sleeping with your wife. Carelessly, you might end up bedridden for life!" Lin Miao released him and warned sternly.

"So serious? You’re not scaring me, are you, Mr. Lin? You’re not married, how do you know this?"

"I’m a physician, what do you think?"

"Then can you help with having a son?" Han Chunyang asked with a cheeky grin.

"Why, do you want a son?"

"Of course, I’ve already had two daughters and just want a son. Mr. Lin, do you have any ways?" Han Chunyang asked with hope.

"Whether it’s a son or daughter is determined by fate. I can only help increase the chances of pregnancy; as for whether it’s a boy or girl, I can’t guarantee," Lin Miao said, knowing that gender is determined by genetics, and in his previous life, medicine could only choose gender, not change physiological sex.

"That works too."

"This can’t be done by you alone. You have to bring your wife as well; I need to examine both of you to be sure." Lin Miao said.

"Alright, I’ll find a time to come together," Han Chunyang nodded.

"By the way, is there really a chance Ye Mi Yuan will be transferred to your Arresting Department?" Lin Miao asked as he prescribed medicine for Han Chunyang.

"For Ye Mi Yuan to come, there must be a vacancy here, and Lanzhou must be willing to release him, and we must be willing to accept."

"Didn’t Gon Sheng from the South City District Office get dismissed and imprisoned? Isn’t his position vacant?" Lin Miao asked, "Or does he want to go to your Arresting Department?"

"He’s from Lanzhou, ranked even half a level higher than me. Although Gon Sheng was also a captain, his rank was lower than mine. If he comes to Dongshan, it would at least be a lateral move; if it’s a demotion then..."

"Coming for me," Lin Miao stated.

"Should I mention it to Mr. Feng? Regardless of whether it’s a lateral or temporary transfer, it needs the chief officer’s approval. If he’s unwilling to accept, Ye Mi Yuan can’t be transferred either; although the arrest officer is a position, it’s just a clerical role, and deploys are relatively complex," Han Chunyang said.

Lin Miao nodded, Han Chunyang was correct. For civil service transfers, a court decree is required, and it’s not a matter of going wherever one wishes.

And generally, clerks follow their chief officer or stay within their home region, rarely being transferred, with a clear end in sight.

"No need; hidden opponents are harder to deal with. If he voluntarily comes to where I can see him, isn’t that better?" Lin Miao smiled, thinking that Ye Mi Yuan coming to the Arresting Department may not be a bad thing.

Han Chunyang grinned: "True, and about having a son..."

"Remember, rest assured."

"Lin, you can teach people how to have a son?" Lien Yurou appeared out of nowhere, blushing, and asked curiously.

"You little girl, don’t pry into such things. Be careful, the senior might scold you!"
