Old Sir He nodded, it was the same as what Minister Wei had said on the way.
In summary, it’s like treating a dead horse as if it’s alive. If it can be treated, treat it. If not, it’s fine.
"Take me to see the patient."
Having made everything clear, Bai Qifeng didn’t delay and led Old Sir He and Lin Chuxia to the adjacent room.
After knocking twice, the door was opened by a young man, who looked like he was in his early thirties.
Upon seeing Bai Qifeng and an old gentleman behind him, he knew who they were.
He politely said, "Director Bai, please come in."
His gaze finally landed on Lin Chuxia.
Earlier, Bai Qifeng had mentioned inviting an old Chinese medicine practitioner to see their chairman, which he knew, but he hadn’t expected the practitioner to have a young pregnant woman with him.
Judging by her position next to the old practitioner, she should be the practitioner’s child or assistant, so he didn’t stop them.
Lin Chuxia met his gaze with a slight nod, and the man also nodded back at her.
This room was a suite, and the patient was in the inner room.
The man led them to the entrance of the inner room and greeted the person inside.
Upon hearing the response, he led them inside.
Lin Chuxia followed behind Bai Qifeng and her master, looking around the room as she walked.
She had previously stayed at guesthouses, so she knew the conditions of guesthouses from that era.
This was likely the most luxurious room in all of Yan City, not only was it a suite, but the furnishings inside were also very refined.
The bed in the room was a newly popular Simmons mattress.
On the bed, a woman was leaning against the headboard, reading a newspaper.
The woman had maintained herself well; just looking at her hair and skin, she seemed to be in her early forties.
She was also very beautiful, and even with a heavy air of illness, it didn’t diminish her mature charm and elegance in the slightest.
Yet, she clearly remembered that Minister Wei had once disclosed that the woman was already in her fifties.
Seeing the woman like this, the man first walked over briskly and took the newspaper from her hands, with a slight hint of disapproval in his voice.
"Chairman, you need to rest now. If you want to read the reports, let me read them to you. The doctor said you shouldn’t exhaust yourself."
The woman took off her gold-rimmed glasses and smiled nonchalantly, "It’s not as exaggerated as they say, and reading these newspapers myself is more interesting. I haven’t read such newspapers for so many years, I didn’t expect the country’s development to be so good now. If I don’t read more, I won’t recognize it anymore."
By this time, she had also spotted Bai Qifeng and the people behind him.
"Director Bai, thank you for your hard work again."
"It’s my duty. Ms. Zhuang returning to support national construction, we have the responsibility to take care of Ms. Zhuang’s health."
After saying that, he introduced Old Sir He, "This is the old Chinese medicine practitioner I mentioned to you before."
Zhuang Jingshu extended her arm and smiled at Old Sir He, "It’s been a very long time since I last saw a Chinese doctor. Thank you for your trouble, sir."
Old Sir He nodded and didn’t say much, sitting on the chair beside the bed, earnestly feeling her pulse.
As soon as he touched her wrist, his brow furrowed, and he glanced at Zhuang Jingshu.
Zhuang Jingshu smiled and asked, "Is my body beyond saving? To be frank, when I was abroad, they provided many treatment plans, even wanting to replace some parts of my body, which I refused. I don’t trust those, what’s mine is mine. If I am to trust anything, I believe more in our country’s Chinese medicine. But it was impossible to find one abroad, I thought when I returned home..."
The unspoken words were understood by everyone present.
