Chapter 441: 286 Sell, sold out??!_3
He felt very pleased with himself, and as his gaze shifted, he noticed Shen Zhiqiao.
Before coming, he had done his homework and recognized her at a glance as the forerunner of the Shen Family.
Liu always had a sweet tongue and, as if he had just remembered something, he smiled warmly at Shen Zhiqiao, "Ah, isn’t this the talented student from Beijing University’s Department of Biomedical Sciences? I have long heard of Miss Shen’s medical expertise. Do you happen to have some time now? Our family matriarch has not been well recently, and she always refuses to go to the hospital. If possible, I would really like to consult with Miss Shen."
His tone was very humble, and even Shen Zhiqiao, who hated flattery the most, found it pleasing.
She glanced at her brother, seemingly asking for his permission without words.
Shen Zhixi smiled, "Qiaoqiao, then listen to what Mister Liu has to say," he nodded to his secretary, who immediately came over to help him push his wheelchair.
Shen Zhixi: "Mister Liu, I have some matters to attend to and won’t be able to keep you company."
Mister Liu was very polite, "Of course, of course, please go ahead with your work. Don’t mind me."
Shen Zhiqiao took Mister Liu to the living room’s reception area, where the servants served tea and snacks.
Mister Liu described his mother’s symptoms—which were merely for the sake of pleasing Miss Shen—as his mother did not have any particularly difficult conditions to treat; it was just the usual problems that come with old age.
To Shen Zhiqiao, these were not challenging issues. She took a portable notebook out of her top pocket, casually grabbed a pen, and elegantly wrote down some names of Western medicines: "These are not big issues. Since Mister Liu is worried, why not take the old lady to my brother’s hospital for a check-up? Don’t you trust it?"
"Ah, that’s not it," Mister Liu laughed awkwardly. "To tell you the truth, and not to make Miss Shen laugh, my family’s old lady is superstitious and just refuses to go to the hospital. No matter what I say, she won’t listen. She always feels that once someone enters a hospital, they won’t come back. The old lady has high blood pressure, so we can’t say too much..."
"So that’s the case," Shen Zhiqiao said as she tore off the page she had written the prescription on, about to hand it to Mister Liu, when she heard him continue, "By the way, our family’s old lady usually trusts folk remedies and proprietary Chinese medicines the most. But I wouldn’t dare to let her try any old remedy. Miss Shen, you are a professional; I would feel reassured with your recommendations. Do you happen to know... any remedies that might address these issues?"
Shen Zhiqiao’s hand suddenly stopped in mid-air.
Folk remedies...
Although she didn’t want to remember, she had indeed lost today’s competition, and she had even promised in front of everyone to help Xia Ye sell medicines.
At least one bottle a month...
It was truly absurd...
Shen Zhiqiao was unsociable and had few friends since childhood, but she had lived among the daughters of prestigious families and had seen many well-bred ladies.
But she had never seen anyone like Xia Ye who was so unpolished.
Mister Liu didn’t notice her expression and reached out to take the paper from her hand.
But before his hand could touch it, Shen Zhiqiao suddenly drew the paper back, crumpled it as if in a challenge, and threw it into the nearby trash can.
Mister Liu was puzzled, "Miss Shen, what is...?"
"Those are Western medicines; I’m afraid your family’s old lady might not be willing to take them. The folk remedies you just mentioned..." Shen Zhiqiao pinched the bridge of her nose, fell silent for a moment as if she were making a great decision, before she finally spoke, "I do know someone whose traditional and proprietary Chinese medicines... have some decent effects. You could give them a try."
Mister Liu, hearing this, was quite surprised, "Really? May I know who this incredible doctor is?"
"Hardly an incredible doctor," Shen Zhiqiao said with evident disdain, "You should be aware of the Xia Family, Mister Liu. The person I’m referring to is... Xia Ye."
She couldn’t believe she, who had been studying Western medicine since junior high, was now helping someone sell Chinese herbal remedies.
And it was the remedies of Xia Ye, whom she detested the most!
Reluctantly, although Xia Ye’s medicine did show some effects, recommending a college student who hadn’t even graduated would surely make Mister Liu think her absurd.
It was maddening!
How could Xia Ye’s medicine possibly sell?
Yet, when Mister Liu heard Xia Ye’s name, far from finding it strange, he was actually quite elated, "Miss Xia? Ah, who would have thought that Miss Xia had such skills? If it’s her medicine, then I must buy it! Please Miss Shen, help me establish contact. I’ll start with five bottles... no, at least ten!" freёwebnoѵel.com
Mister Liu knew of Xia Ye; after all, she was the darling of President Jiang!
