Chapter 1035 "You're a pig!" Taking Li Chunfang's pulse (Bonus chapter for 3 monthly votes)

Next, Fang Yan repeated what he had said to Mr. Huo before to Representative Huo.

After listening, Representative Huo pondered for a moment, then nodded.

They've already done the marketing and research on the dialect; all that's left is to find a local partner in Hong Kong who can handle things, and the Huo family happens to have that capability.

They faced no pressure whatsoever in transportation, warehousing, or sales.

As for other aspects such as security, social relationships, and informal competition from peers, they are also capable of handling those.

This is a capability that Tongrentang does not possess.

Just because they can't control Tsumura doesn't mean the Huo family can't either.

After the negotiations were settled, Fang Yan made a phone call to Chu Bin from Tang Lao's villa.

I told him to go to Representative Huo's house tomorrow morning, Monday, to discuss business.

As for the matter with the Japanese on Monday night, the Huo family will take care of it once the agreement is reached here.

Upon hearing this news, Chu Bin on the other end of the phone was visibly excited.

"Boss, is it true?"

“Of course it’s true,” Fang Yan replied.

Then, as if remembering something, Chu Bin lowered his voice and asked Fang Yan:
"Was the Huo family the one who handled things on the film set?"

Fang Yan was taken aback:
"I thought you solved it yourself."

Chu Bin whispered:
"It wasn't me. I thought it was you, boss."

Fang Yan thought for a moment and said:

"That was probably done by other enemies that Brother Hui made. I've been targeted by the British Pharmaceutical Group recently, so it's inconvenient for me to show up right now. I'll leave things in Hong Kong to you from now on."

Chu Bin agreed:
"Don't worry, I'll definitely do a good job."

After hanging up the phone, Fang Yan relayed the time to Representative Huo.

After writing it down, he got up and said goodbye to the others.

He's been so busy he hasn't eaten anything yet, he needs to hurry back for lunch.

After seeing Representative Huo off from the villa, the group went to the basement to check on Sun Kai.

The Western doctor was measuring his blood pressure. Although it was still a little low, the problem was not serious. After removing the empty blood transfusion bag, the Western doctor began to tidy up the surrounding things.

Fu Yu was also helping out, and her lunch was next to her. She didn't seem to have much of an appetite and didn't eat much.

Fang Yan came to the bedside and checked Sun Kai's pulse again.

Fang Yan confirmed that things were much better than they had been an hour ago and shared this news with everyone.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Sun Kai should be able to gradually recover.

Ultimately, it depends on his own body's recovery ability.

After emerging from the basement, Mr. Huo glanced at his watch and bid farewell to everyone.

"I have three more meetings this afternoon, all organized in conjunction with my son's wedding. It's a rare opportunity to gather prominent figures from all walks of life, so I have to show my face."

He smiled and patted Fang Yan on the shoulder:

"Once the cooperation is finalized, I'll take you to the Rose Garden to see the night view next time; it's even brighter than the lights of Victoria Harbour."

Then he said goodbye to the others as well.

Old Tang and the others escorted him to the garage, where a black Mercedes drove out. Surprisingly, they didn't even go home; they went straight to the Rose Garden.

Old Tang smiled and then said in dialect:

"Mr. Huo has spent his entire life either talking business or on his way to talk business."

Director Liao gazed at the endless stream of cars in front of the Huo family's house, those vehicles with special license plates continuously heading towards the Huo family's Rose Garden, and suddenly sighed with emotion:

"It's a pity that you rarely come to Hong Kong, but you can only stay here."

Fang Yan shook his head and chuckled:

"I'm not cut out for wearing a bow tie and holding a champagne glass. The Rose Garden is so lively, it's like a grand masquerade ball." He pointed to his face. "I'm not used to wearing a mask on this face, so I won't go. If I make a mistake, I'm afraid I'll cause a lot of trouble."

Director Liao burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Then, they returned to the villa together with Old Tang and Fang Yan.

"Speaking of which, I should have gone to the Rose Garden to make my way, but the church ceremony ended this morning, and I've already met all the people I needed to see. I don't feel like going anywhere this afternoon. In those kinds of settings, everyone has to stick to their titles when they speak. It's not as comfortable as being here. At least I don't have to think about whether to use official or business language next," Director Liao said.

At this moment, Old Tang took out a box of Longjing tea from the coffee table drawer and slowly brewed it.

Then asked:

"Have you finished taking care of everything in Hong Kong?"

Director Liao nodded:
"It's almost done."

"There are still some minor matters to attend to; a few of the old men are going to visit some old friends."

The dialect suddenly became clear:

"That explains why they disappeared..."

At this moment, Old Tang handed a cup of tea to Fang Yan.

Fang Yan took the teacup; the tea soup had a faint aroma of Longjing tea.

Director Liao also received a cup, then raised his cup to lightly clink with the teacups of Fang Yan and Old Tang, and said with a smile:

"After working so hard for so many days, I can finally relax this afternoon."

The two smiled and picked up their teacups, watching the traffic outside the Huo family's house as they savored their tea.

……

Evening arrived quickly, and Comrade Sun Kai's condition had improved considerably, so there was no need to keep a close eye on Fang Yan anymore.

Director Liao also received a call from the Peninsula Hotel, and the old men there had all gone back.

Now he and Fang Yan should go back.

As they were leaving, Fang Yan said to Old Tang:
"Mr. Tang, we'll head back to the hotel now. Comrade Sun Kai, please feel free to call us if you have any questions."

Old Tang said:
"Don't worry, he's lucky and will be fine." Fang Yan and Director Liao then each got into a car, which was driven back by someone from the villa.

However, as soon as they left Repulse Bay, they immediately split into two paths. It wasn't appropriate for them to go back together; they had to go separately.

Director Liao, go back first. Fang Yan is a bit further away.

It was the same Bentley from the Huo family that morning. Inside, it was quite quiet. Deng Cai and Li Chong were still wary of their surroundings, afraid that they might be followed again.

Yesterday's events had already made the two of them a bit paranoid.

Everything went smoothly along the way, and we arrived at the Peninsula Hotel without incident.

After getting off the bus, Fang Yan glanced at the time; it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

I can go back and wash up now and then go to sleep.

Several people walked into the hall, and after taking only a few steps, someone suddenly shouted:

"Lin Jingxing!"

Fang Yan was startled and looked in the direction of the sound.

Then I saw two familiar figures.

It was Li Chunfang and his grandson Aji. He called him Aji the kid.

There were several other people with them at that moment.

Judging from their clothes, they seem to be high-ranking officials and nobles.

Fang Yan exchanged a glance with Li Chong and Deng Cai, then led them over.

"Hi, we meet again!" Fang Yan greeted Aji with a smile.

Ah Ji asked in dialect:

"Where have you been? I didn't see you at dinner, and I didn't see you at the Rose Garden either. They said there was an emergency at home, and your wife gave birth?"

"It's a business matter," Fang Yan replied briefly.

Fang Yan adopted a perfunctory attitude towards this little brat.

Before Ah Ji, the argumentative one, could even retort, he asked:
"When did you get back? Why are you sitting here instead of going back upstairs?"

Ah Ji said:

"Oh, these people are all here to see my grandfather for medical treatment. He's taking a break after seeing a few people, and then he'll continue seeing patients."

Fang Yan saw that the old man's forehead was covered in sweat and said:
"Thank you for your hard work, sir."

Li Chunfang waved her hand and said:

"I don't know why, but I felt really anxious when I got home today. They insisted on coming to see a doctor for me, and now after seeing a few doctors, I'm sweating profusely."

Fang Yan frowned and said:
"Since you're not feeling well, let them see you tomorrow."

At this moment, a patient said to Fang Yan:

"Young man, Mr. Li and other people are in line tomorrow, there's nothing we can do about it!"

Fang Yan looked at Aji, who took a step back and said:
"Don't look at me, I know nothing about this."

Fang Yan was speechless. He meant that he should tell Aji to be unreasonable and prevent these people from getting medical treatment. Old Master Li was clearly acting strangely.

"Pig!" Fang Yan cursed.

Ah Ji was inexplicably insulted in dialect and could hardly believe his ears.

Fang Yan addressed the patients:

"Don't you know that a patient's condition is also important when practicing traditional Chinese medicine? Now that the old man is also having health problems, how can he accurately diagnose you?"

He then pointed to the cold sweat beading on Li Chunfang's forehead:

"In this condition, would you dare take the medication he prescribed?"

Ah Ji was somewhat unconvinced:
"Hey, what do you mean..."

The patients looked at each other, realizing that what was said in the dialect made a lot of sense.

“Well… Mr. Li, let’s come another day. It’s not an emergency anyway, please take care of yourself!” A well-dressed middle-aged woman took the lead in saying this.

The others quickly chimed in:

"That's right, that's right. Please take care of yourself. We'll come another day."

After saying that, the group simply left.

Ah Ji was stunned when he saw the person leave.

"Thank you, young friend Lin!" Li Chunfang wiped away her sweat and cupped her hands in greeting to Fang Yan.

In fact, Li Chunfang had already hinted at it to her grandson, but the boy just didn't understand.

It was someone speaking in dialect who came to help out of the predicament.

"You're welcome. What's wrong? What medicine do you need? We'll go get it for you from nearby."

Li Chunfang said:
"I'm feeling really anxious right now, and I can't even feel my own pulse."

Fang Yan looked around and, confirming that only the receptionist was there, took Li Chunfang's hand and said:

“When I was learning martial arts, my master also taught me a little about pulse diagnosis. Let me take a look at it for you.”

Li Chunfang nodded, letting the dialect flow freely.

Li Chunfang spoke in a light dialect, then closed his eyes and focused on counting breaths.

The pulse under the three fingers is weak and without root, like willow catkins floating on the water, especially weak in the cun position, with faint intermittent knots.

He felt a slight stirring in his heart, and pressed the old man's Neiguan acupoint with his thumb. The fingertip touched the subcutaneous tendons, which were unusually taut, like an overstretched string.

Next, Fang Yan noticed Li Chunfang's bluish nail bed.

He said to Li Chunfang:
"Sir, my skills are not very good. I can only tell you what pulse I felt. You can judge for yourself."

P.S.: I still owe you 71000 words after finishing this chapter.

There will be more this afternoon.
