Chapter 57: Chapter 57: All Sold Out
"Mr. Liu, what you need to know is, not to mention your opening a clinic in the countryside, even our Renxin Hall is not doing too well these days due to the dominance of Western medicine,"
Qin Wanru, at this point, couldn’t help but sigh, "The decline of traditional Chinese medicine is a fact, and it’s precisely because of this, I estimate that running a clinic in a small mountain village might not even sustain your livelihood."
What Qin Wanru said was indeed the truth; although Renxin Hall was quite famous in Qing Shan County, its revenue was not ideal.
Dispensing herbs, seeing patients — the entire business of Renxin Hall was not doing well, struggling every day to make ends meet.
Liu Zheng was fully aware that opening a clinic in a village was, in fact, barely profitable.
He fell silent, showing an expression of some difficulty.
Seeing that he had stopped talking, Qin Wanru quickly took advantage of the momentum to persuade him.
"I think, with Mr. Liu’s medical skills, you really don’t need to limit yourself to one clinic. With such superb medical skills as yours, you could certainly see more of the world and meet more people, which would benefit your future development as well."
Qin Wanru’s persuasion, upon reaching Liu Zheng’s ears, suddenly made his heart leap.
For him, meeting more people and seeing more of the world was indeed his wish.
Because by doing so, he would have a better chance of finding his biological parents.
If he could come into contact with more people, then perhaps he could discover his own origins.
Joy, Liu Zheng was undoubtedly filled with immense joy at that moment.
Yet, no matter how ecstatic he felt, he had not forgotten his original intention.
After hesitating for a moment, he voiced his thoughts.
"I established a clinic in the village and insisted on practicing there because I want to do some practical deeds for the villagers. I hope they can all have a good life in the village."
Listening to his earnest words, Qin Wanru’s face showed an expression of admiration.
Qin Wanru suddenly sat up, her face filled with intense excitement, and exclaimed, "Really? I had no idea that Mr. Liu had such aspirations, which are truly admirable. If that’s the case, the two of us could actually collaborate."
Seeing Qin Wanru so excited, Liu Zheng couldn’t help but be surprised.
He quickly waved his hands and said, "Miss Qin, don’t get so excited, please try not to move recklessly."
Since Qin Wanru still had silver needles on her, Liu Zheng was afraid that her sudden movement might be risky.
While speaking, Liu Zheng pressed her back down to her original position.
But in his haste, his hand came to rest on a soft spot.
In that instant, both of them were stunned, their eyes met, and Qin Wanru’s face turned red instantly.
Liu Zheng was the first to react, hurriedly withdrawing his hand.
With a blush on his own face, Liu Zheng hastily explained and apologized, "I’m really sorry, it was not intentional. Just now, you were too excited, and I was worried that something might happen, so that’s why..."
"It’s okay, I don’t blame you,"
At that moment, Qin Wanru’s face was even redder, but she still managed to say graciously, "It was my excessive excitement just now that made me forget about the silver needles. I’m sorry!"
Conversely, Qin Wanru apologized to Liu Zheng, then she said, "I actually wanted to discuss with you the possibility of collaborating on cultivating medicinal herbs in the village."
"Cultivating medicinal herbs?"
Liu Zheng was somewhat surprised and couldn’t help but ask.
"Yes! That’s right, cultivating medicinal herbs."
Looking at Liu Zheng’s surprised expression, Qin Wanru thought he found the idea unfeasible, so she quickly explained, "Actually, it’s very simple. I provide the funding and the seeds, and then you lead the villagers to cultivate them. This way, you’ll all make money."
Fearing that Liu Zheng wasn’t interested and didn’t see the potential in the idea, Qin Wanru quickly laid out all her plans.
Upon hearing her introduction, Liu Zheng’s eyes suddenly lit up.
It was as if a giant pie had fallen from the sky, an unimaginably scrumptious pie.
He was almost jumping with joy, his whole being electrified.
But.
He didn’t let himself get carried away by the excitement.
After some quick calculations, Liu Zheng asked, "If that’s the case, how much could I earn in a year?"
Seeing him inquire about the earnings, Qin Wanru was certain that Liu Zheng must be interested.
"I really can’t estimate exactly how much you would earn. However, under normal circumstances, as long as the quality of the medicinal materials is good, your income will definitely be much higher than what you make from running your clinic."
Looking at Liu Zheng’s hopeful gaze, Qin Wanru couldn’t help but smile brilliantly, "As long as the quality is good, I can guarantee that you will earn many times more than what you do with the clinic in the countryside. In fact, the amount could be beyond your imagination."
Liu Zheng was just in need of a way to make money.
Unexpectedly, Qin Wanru was like someone who offered a pillow as soon as he wanted to sleep.
Immediately, Liu Zheng slapped his thigh and said, "Done, let’s cooperate."
Hearing Liu Zheng agree so readily, Qin Wanru was also quite pleased.
She nodded and excitedly said, "Good, Mr. Liu, since that’s the case, go back and calculate how many acres of land you can contract, and then give me an exact number so we can discuss the investment further."
The two of them hit it off right away, and in just half an hour, they went through some of the details.
During that half-hour, Liu Zheng wasn’t idle either; his silver needles flew out quickly, and with extremely skillful techniques, he treated Qin Wanru.
After performing the acupuncture, Liu Zheng put away the silver needles and couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
Although this treatment wasn’t particularly difficult, for Liu Zheng, it was his very first time facing such a challenging illness.
Qin Wanru’s condition wasn’t terminal, but nearly incurable. Without Liu Zheng, even the best medicine probably couldn’t have prolonged her life for long.
Since the treatment was over, Liu Zheng didn’t linger any longer at Renxin Hall and left straightaway to find Liu Suqiu.
Upon arriving at the market and finding Liu Suqiu, the girl was busy tidying up her stall.
When she saw Liu Zheng arrive, she immediately jumped up and boasted, "Guess how much money I made today?"
Seeing her excitement, Liu Zheng thought for a moment and said, "At least a couple of thousand, right?"
"You guessed wrong, look..."
As she spoke, Liu Suqiu took out all the money she had earned from her pocket for Liu Zheng to admire.
"Here, just in cash, I’ve already got over two thousand yuan, and with the scanned payments, it adds up to five thousand yuan."
Hearing Liu Suqiu’s words, Liu Zheng’s eyes widened in surprise.
He truly hadn’t expected that selling lingerie could be so hugely profitable.
"Did you sell out everything?"
"Pretty much! There’s a bit left, but we’ll talk about that later."
