"Mom, I have to get off the bus now. Ye Zhaoxian is bringing fifteen people to Chengdu tomorrow to help our family with our business. I have to go to the Jinjiang Hotel to book a room right away. You must make time to come with me to pick him up at the airport tomorrow," Lin Yao said, preparing to get off the bus at his stop.
“Jinjiang Hotel, that’s too high-end. We need to save money; we don’t have enough production funds yet.” Upon hearing Lin Yao’s words, Lin Hongmei instinctively considered the financial issue. The mindset of saving money had become ingrained in her during this period.
“Mom, Ye Zhaoxian and the others are all princelings in Beijing, and they all have a lot of influence. We can’t skimp on this little bit of money, can we? They will be of great help to our future disaster relief efforts,” Lin Yao explained. He also wanted to save money, but it would be a real loss if they were driven away over such a small matter.
“But even if fifteen people stay in double rooms, it will cost almost ten thousand yuan a day. Our family…” Lin Hongmei also comes from a good family and knows the identity and importance of the people coming tomorrow. However, she is very conflicted when she thinks about the luxury rooms and other additional expenses. This money should be used to produce beverages to help tens of thousands more disaster victims.
"I'll see how it goes, whether they're genuinely here to help or just for tourism. If they're genuinely here to help, I'll find a cheaper hotel. But let's book the Jinjiang Hotel for the first night; they've come all this way, so we should treat them to a nice welcome." Lin Yao knew Lin Hongmei was right, so he didn't insist and decided to see how things went.
"Alright, you can get out of the car first. I'll talk to your dad about signing the agreement tonight. You can take care of dinner yourself; you don't need to go home for dinner, as I doubt anyone will be there." Lin Hongmei made the decision immediately. The fast pace of this period had made her adept at handling such matters.
Lin Yao had just booked a room when he received another phone call.
"Hello! Is this Teacher Angel?" A male voice came from the phone, and he sounded like he was in his fifties.
"Hello, this is the contact person. May I ask who you are?" Lin Yao asked politely when he saw that the caller ID showed an out-of-town number.
"Hello, Angel Teacher's contact person, this is Guo Yixiang from Shanghai. I made an appointment with Angel Teacher. Since I didn't see Angel Teacher online today, I'm calling you directly." Guo Yixiang said politely, "I would like to ask if Angel Teacher is available tomorrow? Our patient hopes to see Angel Teacher tomorrow so that he can receive treatment as soon as possible."
Guo Yixiang from Shanghai? Lin Yao remembered this person. He was an expert at Huashan Hospital in Shanghai, a nationally renowned expert in neurology. He registered directly under his real name on the "Medical Forum" and was one of the doctors who introduced the four patients Lin Yao had met.
"Hello Dr. Guo! I know you. Please wait a moment while I check the records and get back to you right away."
Lin Yao pretended to look up his schedule, and after a minute, he continued, "Here's the thing, Dr. Guo, you can bring your patient to Chengdu tomorrow, but the meeting time may have to be arranged for the evening or the day after tomorrow. We'll contact you about the specific time later. After you arrive in Chengdu, please find your own accommodation, preferably within the Second Ring Road. Please call me after you check in, and I will arrange the meeting time."
"Okay, I'll call you tomorrow after I arrive in Chengdu and settle in. I hope to see Teacher Angel soon." Guo Yixiang said and hung up the phone.
Shanghai Huashan Hospital is a well-known hospital with a strong reputation in neurology, neurosurgery, and neurology. Guo Yixiang is a nationally renowned expert. The patient referred this time was suffering from headaches for which the cause could not be found. It is said that he had sought treatment at major hospitals at home and abroad without any effect. Lin Yao quoted a consultation fee of 2 million yuan after tax.
Go to the pharmacy and buy Gastrodia elata.
Lin Yao bought ten kilograms of Gastrodia elata from three large pharmacies in one go, spending nearly ten thousand yuan. The stock of one pharmacy was not even enough for the quantity he requested.
Sichuan produces high-quality Gastrodia elata, but the price is also quite high. However, with the development of logistics, prices are now similar across different regions. Gastrodia elata has a special effect on head ailments, but it shouldn't be consumed in large quantities because it has toxic side effects. These toxic side effects, of course, have no effect on Lin Yao. He simply wants to rely on the herb to directly absorb the medicinal energy from the Gastrodia elata; the extracted medicinal energy has no toxic side effects.
Looking at the heavy Gastrodia elata in the plastic bag in his hand, Lin Yao took out a piece with a bitter face and threw it into his mouth to chew. Of course, the Gastrodia elata was too tough to chew, but fortunately, the fine threads of the small grass had already mixed with saliva and quickly surrounded the Gastrodia elata to absorb the medicinal properties.
Spitting out the discarded gastrodia elata into another plastic bag, Lin Yao felt he didn't need to eat dinner today. He figured he could just bite into a few pieces of the softened gastrodia elata to fill his stomach and save money on food.
Just as Lin Yao was sitting on a miniature park bench by the street, gnawing on some gastrodia elata, his phone received a text message and a phone call at the same time.
The phone rang, and a pleasant female voice answered, her clear and melodious voice carrying an anxious tone: "Hello, are you the doctor who saved people at Wangjianglou Park today?"

"Hello! Who are you?" Lin Yao neither admitted nor denied it; he needed to find out before speaking to avoid any problems.
"I'm Xia Yuwen, the granddaughter of the elderly man who was rescued today. Are you the doctor from that incident? I called using the business card the doctor gave me." The girl was very polite, but her voice was a little hurried.
A business card? It was just a piece of cardboard with a phone number printed on it, without a single Chinese character. It was just something Lin Yao used to save people without revealing his identity. He didn't even remember the girl. He was busy saving people at the time and then rushed to buy medicine from the factory afterwards.
"It's me. What's wrong?" Lin Yao understood the other person's anxiety. After all, a myocardial infarction is very dangerous for an elderly person of that age, and he didn't know how the patient's condition was now in the hospital. Lin Yao didn't ask about the patient's condition directly. He simply hadn't had time to treat patients these past few days, even though this patient urgently needed help.
Doctors and medical students are required to have high psychological resilience. You can call them call them callous or indifferent to human life, but they are still human beings with their own lives. There is only one Norman Bethune in the world. If doctors truly cannot be indifferent to life and death, they will only die from exhaustion on the job, because the number of patients is virtually endless.
"It really is you, Doctor? Thank you so much! My grandfather was saved thanks to your rescue, otherwise it would have been a serious accident." Xia Yuwen's voice revealed a hint of joy. At this moment, she found hope. Although she had always been puzzled by the fact that the business card didn't even have a name written on it, it couldn't stop her from trusting this young doctor. The scene of treating her grandfather was still vivid in her mind. Even as a layman in medicine, she could feel the doctor's extraordinary abilities. She had never even heard of such a miraculous skill.
With a hopeful tone, Xia Yuwen continued, "Doctor, could you please come and take another look at my grandfather's condition? Although his condition is under control in the hospital, it hasn't improved. The doctors here say it might get worse. I hope you can take a look."
Lin Yao hesitated for a moment, preparing to refuse. He simply couldn't spare the time; the treatment for this kind of heart disease was too time-consuming. Moreover, if he encountered an unreasonable patient's family member, he wouldn't be able to get away. If it affected important family matters, it would be a grave sin to burden the health of millions of disaster victims for the sake of an unrelated elderly person.
When Xia Yuwen heard no response on the phone, her heart jumped; she was afraid of being rejected.
My grandfather's illness has been treated by the most authoritative experts in the country, but none of them could help. They could only manage it with conservative treatment. Now he has suffered a myocardial infarction. Having carefully studied this condition for my grandfather, she knows that the situation is very serious. Myocardial necrosis has already occurred. This afternoon, the leading cardiovascular experts in Sichuan Province held a consultation, but they could only continue with conservative treatment. Performing heart surgery at this time would be very dangerous. Besides, my grandfather could not have surgery before because of his health condition, so it is even more impossible now.
Xia Yuwen recalled the expert consultation at West China Hospital that afternoon, where they mentioned her grandfather's good fortune. They said that if he hadn't coincidentally encountered a reclusive medical master, he would have been dead long ago. Moreover, after the acupuncture treatment, his damaged heart muscle showed signs of recovery, which was nothing short of a miracle. At the time, she was anxious about not being able to contact those two miraculous doctors. It wasn't until she rummaged through her bag just now that she suddenly found a business card inside. After careful recollection, she remembered that it was the contact information for the two doctors she had vaguely heard about. Only then did she eagerly call to inquire.
The sudden silence from the other party made her anxious. If the other party refused, her beloved grandfather, who had always doted on her, might pass away.
Thinking of this, Xia Yuwen became sorrowful and said in a tearful voice, "Doctor, please! You must save my grandfather, I beg you! Waaah..."
Hearing the girl crying on the phone, Lin Yao felt very troubled. He knew very well the seriousness of the matter, and it was indeed not a good time to cause any unnecessary trouble, lest it delay something important.
Thinking of the way his mother looked at him back then, Lin Yao sighed and said, "Listen carefully, there's something I need to make clear beforehand, so write it down."
Upon hearing that things had taken a turn for the better, Xia Yuwen immediately suppressed her sobs and nodded eagerly, saying, "Okay, okay, please tell me, I'll write it down."
"First, you need to draft a statement immediately, stating that the patient and family requested my help to treat them entirely voluntarily, using traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods. Both the patient and family must sign and affix their fingerprints." Lin Yao racked his brains to draft several clauses that were favorable to him; he absolutely could not let this matter affect his important plans.
"Secondly, this treatment itself carries certain risks, because the patient's condition is very bad, so it must be stated that I will not be held responsible in the event of any accidents."
"Third, my treatment does not allow any other doctors to be present. Apart from one family member standing at least three meters away to watch over the patient, no other people are allowed to be nearby. Furthermore, no matter how I treat the patient, no one can make any noise or do anything that might affect the treatment, otherwise the patient may die."
"Fourth, I'm very busy lately and can only conduct treatments according to my schedule. Of course, I will try my best to arrange the time, but this time may be late at night or early in the morning, so you need to ensure that you can cooperate with me at any time. If you agree to these conditions, please go and prepare quickly. Once you are ready, please send me a text message with the patient's exact location, and I will come over when it is convenient for me."
After speaking, Lin Yao thought about it carefully again and, finding nothing missing, stopped adding conditions.
Xia Yuwen had been taking notes of Lin Yao's conditions with pen and paper. Only after he finished speaking did she say, "Thank you, doctor. I'll discuss what you said with my mother and the others right away and then give you an answer."
"No need. If you've made up your mind, just text me the address. If you haven't, don't text me. Also, if you don't text me today, don't text me again. I'll be very busy starting tomorrow and won't have time for treatment." Lin Yao added a condition: the myocardial infarction must be treated immediately, otherwise there will definitely be serious sequelae. It won't be very effective to come to him after today. If the treatment is ineffective and the patient tries to extort money from him, who will he complain to?
"Oh, okay." Xia Yuwen was a little sad to hear these unreasonable conditions, but she didn't dare to argue with the doctor. At this time, the doctor was the most important person. Her good upbringing allowed her to control her emotions well. She only gave a dejected reply and waited for Lin Yao to hang up before putting down the phone herself.
