Upon hearing this, Song Hao felt relieved and put his mind at ease. He had called Luo Feiying a few days ago to inquire, but the package hadn't arrived yet.
Afterwards, the squad leader accompanied Song Hao and Tang Yu to take a look at the construction site behind.
"Liu Tian and his group built this twelve-story building for us on their own initiative. It cost tens of millions! We can't pay them back in a short time!" Song Hao said, his excitement mixed with a hint of helplessness.
"This shows they still have the capability. It's truly touching that they're helping you like this," Tang Yu said with emotion.
After observing for a while, Song Hao and Tang Yu returned, and the squad leader also went to rest.
Just then, they heard the sound of a car outside. Looking out the window, they saw the gatekeeper open the gate and let in a car. It was Luo Feiying who had returned.
As Luo Feiying got out of the car, she looked up and found that Song Hao's room was lit up, and two people were standing in front of the window, smiling and waving at her.
"Song Hao! Sister Tang!" Luo Feiying cheered and ran into the building.
"Sister Tang! You're finally back!" Luo Feiying ran into the house and hugged Tang Yu in surprise.
“Song Hao…” Then Luo Feiying looked at Song Hao with surprise and delight, as if she was expecting something.
"Long time no see! You've worked so hard, Yingying! Come on, let's give each other a hug!" Song Hao opened his arms and smiled.
"Yay..." Luo Feiying cheered, overjoyed and surprised, and rushed forward to hug Song Hao. She was extremely excited and overjoyed.
Seeing this, Tang Yu gave an unnatural smile and turned to look out the window.
After the initial excitement subsided, Luo Feiying pouted and said, "Why are you only getting back now! You've been so busy sightseeing that you've forgotten everything."
Song Hao laughed and said, "We were supposed to come back as soon as we finished our business, but we encountered some trouble. In order not to bring the trouble to Tianyi Hall, we had to stay outside for a while longer. After things calmed down, we were able to come back with peace of mind. Otherwise, it would have been inconvenient for us to come back."
"What happened?" Luo Feiying asked in surprise.
"It's nothing, it's all in the past," Song Hao said with a reassuring smile.
"Yingying, you do have a talent for management. You've managed Tianyi Hall so well while we've been away for so long. You deserve praise," Song Hao said with a self-satisfied smile.
"No big deal, I've managed hospitals even bigger than this," Luo Feiying said dismissively, her face still full of pride when she heard Song Hao's praise.
"Song Hao, your three friends are really something! In the two months you've been away, they've built a whole building for you. I've been thinking of treating them to a meal every now and then to thank them on your behalf, but it's always them who treat us. Such loyal friends are rare indeed!" Luo Feiying then said.
"This is a favor I can never repay. I'll thank them tomorrow. By the way, how's the progress at Wansongling?" Song Hao asked.
"You're eyeing that Qiu Ru, aren't you?" Luo Feiying said with obvious displeasure. "Her business is even bigger than this place, and she's already invested most of Tianyitang's funds into it. Judging from her attitude, she's determined to turn the entire Wansongling upside down. You'll see for yourselves tomorrow. I wonder what she's up to."
"I never expected Qiu Ru, who seems so delicate, to have such great courage! She must be about to show her abilities and restore the prestige of the Medicine King Sect!" Tang Yu exclaimed in surprise.
Song Hao laughed and said, "It seems we made the right choice in inviting this medical prodigy. Tianyi Hall emphasizes both medicine and pharmaceuticals, which is the only way to showcase the true characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine."
"Sister Tang Yu, don't blame me for not warning you, you've brought a lot of trouble upon yourself," Luo Feiying said to the bewildered woman.
Tang Yu understood and shook her head with a smile, "I didn't invite them; Song Hao invited them himself."
"Hmph! Who knows what he's up to." Luo Feiying rolled her eyes at Song Hao and said, "Liu Tian, Ma Ji, and Zhang Baolun kept running to Wansongling a while ago, but they all got humiliated. Qiu Ru didn't even give them a second glance. Do you know what Liu Tian said? It turns out we still don't have a chance. Let them stand on their own two sides."
While packing his luggage, Song Hao didn't immediately understand what Luo Feiying meant and casually asked, "What do you mean by the Three Kingdoms period?"
“It means the world will be in chaos!” Luo Feiying replied irritably.
"The world is in chaos! Those three kids have the ability to cause chaos? Just listen to their nonsense." Song Hao shook his head and said.
"Stop pretending!" Luo Feiying angrily shook off her hand and pulled Tang Yu, saying, "Sister Tang Yu, let's go to my room to talk."
Tang Yu smiled faintly, but secretly sighed, and followed Luo Feiying away.
The next morning, Song Hao and Tang Yu finally met everyone at the cafeteria table. Song Zihe, Wu Qiguang, Lin Fengyi, and Ye Chengshun were all very happy.
Lin Fengyi laughed and said, "Well done, Song Hao! Your trip was truly worthwhile! We've all read 'Miraculous Prescriptions and Verified Formulas,' and they really are miraculous prescriptions. We've even used several of these prescriptions these past few days, and they've been incredibly effective!"
Song Zihe said, “The vastness of traditional Chinese medicine is truly astounding! Our current understanding of Chinese herbal medicine is still very limited. Some of the prescriptions recorded in the book are quite unexpected. Several drugs that are unrelated to a disease can be combined to treat it. After practicing medicine for many years, we are quite familiar with and understand Chinese herbal medicine, but this book has given us a new insight: everything can be used as medicine to treat a disease, and a disease can be treated with a variety of medicines. The ancients' understanding is indeed reasonable. There are several major prescriptions for treating common diseases, and the above are examples in the book. We are currently using and researching them in clinical practice. After further verification, we plan to prepare large quantities of this medicine in the future so that patients can take it and purchase it.”
Lin Fengyi said, "Judging from the current outpatient volume of Tianyitang, the pharmacy is already under strain. There should be a small pharmaceutical factory producing some of the corresponding finished medicines to alleviate the immediate crisis."
Song Hao said, "Tang Yu and I originally had a plan to build a pharmaceutical factory, but it seems we have to implement it ahead of schedule."
Song Zihe said, "Also, the new building of Tianyi Hall will be completed and put into use in a few months. We are in dire need of manpower, and the recruitment of relevant personnel must begin. Right now, the dozens of people at Tianyi Hall are extremely busy!"
Tang Yu said, "Although Song Hao and I were away for a long time this time, we have already made a plan for the future development of Tianyi Hall. Don't worry, Grandpa, we will start the corresponding work. However, it is too difficult to find renowned doctors and experts like Grandpa and the seniors who support the front-line work of Tianyi Hall. We also cannot train a group of experienced newcomers in a short period of time. Therefore, we still need a few elders to maintain the operation of Tianyi Hall. Of course, recruiting ambitious people to join Tianyi Hall is also an important goal of ours. Only by continuously adding renowned experts can we alleviate the current pressure."
Fifty-three Hundred Herbs Garden
Song Hao said, "We will take care of these preliminary tasks. After all, Tianyitang has already entered a normal operating track."
Ye Chengshun said, "Song Hao, management is not something we doctors are good at, and we shouldn't let these things interfere with our main business. So it's necessary to hire some management talent. It would be a pity if Tang Yu and Fei Ying, those two girls, had such good skills but didn't use them. It's not good to neglect one thing for another, even though they manage Tianyi Hall very well."
“Uncle Ye is absolutely right. I enjoy treating patients and saving lives, and I don’t want to deal with those trivial matters,” Luo Feiying said.
Wu Qiguang nodded and said, "Old Ye is right. We are all skilled in medicine, and we can't abandon our own business to spend time on business. Especially you, Song Hao, I hope to see you as a renowned doctor who saves lives, not a successful businessman. Otherwise, it would go against your original intention of establishing Tianyitang."
“What the seniors say is true.” Song Hao nodded and said, “Tianyi Hall does indeed need a professional to coordinate and manage it. I have already considered this. In the period before the new building of Tianyi Hall is put into use, I will take care of all related matters, such as the construction of the Wansongling Chinese herbal medicine base and the establishment of the pharmaceutical factory. After everything is in order, I will devote myself to medical research. Although Tang Yu and Yingying have excellent management experience, I also hope that they will not neglect one aspect for another, as Teacher Ye said.”
Wu Qiguang laughed and said, "It's good that you have this idea. Now we old folks can rest assured."
Although it wasn't yet time for work, over a hundred patients were already waiting in front of Tianyitang. Among the staff, Song Hao noticed more than twenty new faces, mostly graduating interns from the Traditional Chinese Medicine college and newly recruited medical personnel. When Song Hao met them, they were all surprised and impressed to see that the "boss" of Tianyitang was a young man in his twenties.
With too many things to do, Song Hao couldn't sort things out for the time being, so he simply went to the Chinese herbal medicine base in Wansongling to inspect the progress and visit Qiu Ru and Qiu Wei, the siblings.
"Where's Song Hao?" Luo Feiying turned around and, not seeing Song Hao, asked Tang Yu, who was busy organizing her work plan.
"I heard from Xiao Wu that he went to Wansongling," Tang Yu replied.
