Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 1055 Everyone's choosing a dialect, so my wife's become rich too? (Two chapters combined)
Once the crowd parted, Fang Yan was able to break free and stand in front of Zhao Xiwu.

"Dean Zhao!"

Zhao Xiwu looked up and laughed, "You just got back and you didn't even rest. How did you end up here?"

"There's too much to do, I can't take a break." Fang spoke quickly. "I came today for the Secret Formula Research Institute—they're short of someone to manage the inventory. Right now, it's all up to He Puren to keep an eye on things, but when he's busy with the warehouse, he neglects all other work."

Zhao Xiwu frowned slightly:
"Didn't we assign an assistant to He Puren before? Professor Yu Chuan's student, Su Yue, right? Why don't we let her learn how to manage him?"

“She hasn’t had any formal training in warehouse management,” Fang Yan shook his head. “We could train her gradually before, but now with the surge in orders and He Puren working non-stop, we don’t have time to train new people. Mr. Zhao, you have a wide network of connections, could you help us find someone experienced in this area as soon as possible?”

Zhao Xiwu pondered for a moment, having just gone through several candidates in his mind, but all of them were rejected due to scheduling conflicts or political vetting issues.

At this moment, Liu Duzhou came over:

"What can I help you with?"

"The local dialect department needs an experienced person who understands the management of Chinese medicinal materials inventory, and they also need to pass the political vetting process," Zhao Xiwu explained.

Liu Duzhou immediately replied:
“That’s easy! I happen to know someone in this line of work, so the background check will definitely be fine.”

"Then hurry up and ask," Zhao Xiwu urged, "whether they're willing to transfer to another position, whether their company will release them, Fang Yan is waiting anxiously."

"Don't worry, she's definitely an expert." Liu Duzhou patted his chest. "She's been managing the medicinal herb warehouse for over ten years, and I heard she'd love to go to the research institute. It's just that we'll have to talk to her unit about it."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yan said to the homeroom teacher, Liu Duzhou:

"Then it's up to you."

Liu Duzhou said:
"It's alright, it's alright. I'll go and find out for you right now. I'll leave the work here to you, the class monitor."

Fang Yan nodded and said:

"No problem, leave this to me. Can you drive? Or you can just take my car over?"

Speaking in his local dialect, he handed his car keys to Liu Duzhou.

“Okay!” Class teacher Liu Duzhou took the car keys and walked directly to Fang Yan’s Mercedes.

Although Lao Liu knows how to drive, he has never driven this model before. Today, he thought he could help out and have some fun.

Once Liu Duzhou drove away, the work on the dialect side should begin.

He had originally planned to visit the film set, but it seems there's no way he can do that now.

The line of people waiting for his free medical consultation had already formed a long queue, much longer than the lines in front of others.

"Go on, things will get really lively when you get here today," Zhao Xiwu said to Fang Yan.

In fact, it would be best for Fang Yan not to participate in these free clinics now, because he might encounter illnesses that he cannot cure, which could damage his reputation.

But having worked at Tongrentang before, Fang Yan, who experienced the high volume of patients, knows that in such situations, it's actually rare to encounter difficult or complicated cases.

Generally speaking, the majority of patients are those with chronic diseases or those suffering from joint strain.

It just so happens that he has the most experience treating patients in this area.

So after Fang Yan sat down, she began seeing patients. After the first few patients, the speed gradually increased.

Today, apart from Vice President Zhao Xiwu and a few other doctors from Xiyuan Hospital, the students here are all from Fang Yan's class.

Although they are young, they are all experts in this field, and they have not yet encountered a situation that stumped them.

However, everyone's speed of seeing a doctor is about the same.

After examining the patient's palpation (inspection, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation), the doctor begins to prescribe a medicine, gives instructions, and then moves on to the next patient.

Only Fang Yan's speed was on a completely different level. After asking just a few questions, Fang Yan could guess the approximate illness, and then, based on his own understanding, verify the tongue and pulse. Without asking anything else, he immediately started prescribing medicine.

Unlike others who need to think before prescribing medicine, Fang Yan simply scribbles down the prescription as soon as she gets it.

Sometimes, they don't even need to write a prescription; they just start setting bones on the spot.

Luo's bone-setting technique was already highly refined in his hands, so of course he could cure any ailment with ease.

No medicine is needed; patients recover on the spot in no time, causing people who were queuing up elsewhere to start flocking to this dialect clinic.

As a result, the people in front of them, who spoke the dialect, saw the dialect the fastest, and the number of people in the line increased, making the line longer and longer.

Those classmates who didn't have any patients to see simply went to Fang Yan's side to help out, especially Zhang Yanchang and Yang Jingxiang, who were his old assistants. It was like they were back in their comfort zone.

They immediately started triaging patients for Fang Yan, categorizing the various patients in the line and having them stand in different positions. They then registered their conditions, so Fang Yan didn't need to ask the patients anything afterward. They could simply use the registered numbers to find out what was wrong with the patient and what needed to be done.

The speed of seeing a doctor has been increased even further.

Now there are even more students with free time. Fang Yan greeted the people who were providing free medical consultations, telling them not to just queue up in their own lines, but to join some of the other lines as well.

However, only a small number of people listened to Fang Yan's words; the rest remained in Fang Yan's group, preferring to wait a little longer so that Fang Yan could treat them.

Just like when Zhu Lao was at Dongzhimen Hospital, Fang Yan and Meng Jimin had very few people in front of them.

Now dialects are also receiving the same treatment as Zhu Lao.

I watched it all the way until 11:30 a.m., and there were still quite a few people in front of me.

Finally, Zhao Xiwu saw that Liu Duzhou had already driven back. He then addressed the group:
"The morning clinic is about to end. There's only half an hour left. Those in long lines should move to those in shorter lines."

Those who were quite far away from the front of the line reluctantly moved to other positions.

They started seeking medical help from other people.

Now the students in the class have witnessed the terrifying appeal of dialects. Whenever he appears, 80% of them are willing to queue up longer to see him.

This is the hallmark of a 100% cure rate.

No one can refuse if they can get a spot.

Of course, these patients today don't really have any difficulty with dialects. He divides the difficulty into two types: one is the Tongrentang difficulty, and the other is the Xiehe difficulty.

Today, these people are like doctors at Tongrentang (a traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy), and they don't encounter a single slightly difficult case all day long.

Most of them are common illnesses. Some people don't take them seriously and just tough it out. Some people believe in folk remedies and treat themselves with unproven treatments. Others are simply due to the limited skills of the doctors at the clinic in their workplace.

Finally, after Zhao Xiwu said something, the line in front of Fang Yan began to shorten.

By noon, all the consultations had ended, and there was nothing that could be done for those who hadn't seen their doctor that day.

Those who arrived later, few of them actually had serious illnesses.

As soon as they finished work, Fang Yan quickly went to find Lao Liu to ask him how the warehouse manager he had asked about was doing.

“No problem, as long as Dean Zhao makes a call over there, they’ll send the people over immediately,” Liu Duzhou said to Fang Yan.

Fang Yan looked at Zhao Xiwu beside him, who nodded and said:
"I'll make the call when I get back to the research institute this afternoon. Let's go back to Xiyuan Hospital for lunch first."

……

After having lunch at Xiyuan Hospital, Zhao Xiwu called the unit there. The other party was also a traditional Chinese medicine pharmaceutical factory. They were very polite after answering the phone, since the research institute needed people.

In the eyes of many TCM institutions, the Huaxia Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine is one of the highest-ranking official institutions. This institution needs people, and they are not even core members of the institution. So what? They just give them to them.

At worst, we can just spend a little more time finding another warehouse manager.

After making the call, all that's left is to wait for them to process the job transfer.

They needed it urgently, so Zhao Xiwu told them to expedite everything over there.

Ideally, I should be able to start work tomorrow.

They agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xiwu said to Fang Yan:

"Okay, the problem is basically solved."

"You just need to wait for the people to arrive tomorrow."

Fang Yan said to Zhao Xiwu:
"Thank you for your support."

Zhao Xiwu waved his hand and said:

"It has to be you. Everyone else is so busy and desperate for people, I have to go through the proper procedures."

I know what the person in the dialect is right. These days, the efficiency of government offices is usually not this high. Generally, instead of making phone calls, they send documents. Transferring someone usually takes a week.

If it's a relatively unknown organization, then it will take even longer.

In this case, the dialect issue was handled with special urgency. The dean personally made a phone call, and the professor helped find someone, all in order to find someone who was proficient in warehouse management as soon as possible.

No matter who hears it, it feels like using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito.

Once this is all done, it'll be time to go back to school.

The other students all took the school bus, while Fang Yan drove himself.

He returned to the research institute first and then informed He Puren of the news.

He Puren was not too happy; on the contrary, he was somewhat worried.

The main reason is that their warehouses involve several types of systems, such as those based on inbound and outbound inventory: first-in, first-out, last-in, last-in, first-out, or based on market demand: priority outbound for specific batches, random outbound, priority outbound for near-expiry dates, and priority outbound for specific locations.

In short, this requires a very professional person, and He Puren is not too confident that the people who came this time can do a good job.

Fang Yan looked at Su Yue, who was serving as He Puren's secretary.

asked:

How well do you understand these procedures now?

Su Yue said somewhat awkwardly:
"It should be...it should be around sixty percent."

I was speechless because of the dialect, but I didn't blame them.

Even at this stage, Fangyan already feels the importance of talent. As the company expands, who knows how many more talent gaps there will be.

It seems the task is quite demanding.

After making the arrangements here, Fang Yan returned to school.

His classmates are already here waiting for him to come back.

Those who weren't there for the free clinic greeted him warmly:

"Brother Fang, it's been a week!"

"You're finally back. It feels like our class has lost its energy without you."

"Squad leader, what exactly did you go out to do? When I asked Lao Liu, he said you went to Shanghai on a business trip..."

"Brother Fang, you're not going on a secret mission, are you?"

Everyone started asking questions in dialect.

Fang Yan smiled and said to them:

“I not only went to Shanghai, but also to Guangzhou, where I visited professors at Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine.”

Hearing Fang Yan's words, everyone was surprised, not expecting that Fang Yan had actually gone to such a far place as Guangzhou.

At this moment, both Xiao Chengzhi and Deng Nanxing asked in surprise:
"You went to Guangzhou?" Fang Yan nodded and said:

"I also met Deng Tietao, the elder."

"Actually, he's quite young; you don't look old at all."

Then everyone curiously gathered around and asked Fang Yan what he had done on this business trip.

Of course, the dialects were simply chosen from the ones that were spoken.

Originally, he was going to attend Representative Huo's wedding, but here he ended up being responsible for the health of Director Liao and other colleagues. He talked about things like rescuing people on an airplane, treating border guards, and co-authoring a health handbook for tropical regions of southern China with professors from Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine. His classmates were all stunned by what they heard.

Aside from the experience of speaking the local dialect, most people here have never been on an airplane.

Fang Yan rode in an Il-7, a Trident, and a Mi-8 helicopter this time, and everyone was quite curious about the riding experience of these modes of transportation.

We also need to remind them what it feels like to fly on an airplane.

Imagine sitting in an airplane looking down at the sea of ​​clouds below, the feeling is simply indescribable, and Fang Yan even saved a passenger on the plane.

This sounds like a legend to everyone.

Even Li Zhengji and Xiao Chengzhi, who considered themselves quite knowledgeable, were stunned by what they heard.

Even when class started, no one had had enough.

I'd like to hear more about Shanghai from Fang Yan.

There's really not much to say about Shanghai; it's all about using local dialect to visit my second sister's private affairs.

I only looked around the Bund and strolled around Fudan University.

However, everyone is still quite curious.

Then Lao Liu came. This afternoon, during the sharing session, everyone wanted Fang Yan to share her experience from this business trip. They felt that the morning's free clinic was not difficult and that there was nothing to learn from Fang Yan's assembly-line work.

I just want to hear things they've never seen before.

Old Liu then turned his questioning gaze to Fang Yan.

Whether you want to speak or not is up to your local dialect.

"Shall I give you a detailed account of the medical cases I encountered this week?" Fang Yan asked.

The people below immediately burst into applause:

"it is good!"

I know that if I don't talk about dialects today to satisfy everyone's curiosity, they'll probably keep asking, so I'll just give them a lesson.

So Fang Yan began to tell the story in detail. Although he had already given a general account of it, everyone was still very curious about the details, so they all looked forward to Fang Yan's explanation.

In this lesson, the teacher vividly recounted the medical case to them in dialect.

Even after class ended, everyone was still not satisfied and wanted to hear more about how Fang Yan and the professors at Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine spent a day writing a handbook.

However, time was up, and the next class was still on political ideology, so there was nothing I could do.

The only thing I could do was get down and ask in the local dialect what exactly happened.

……

Since returning, I've been busy with all sorts of things. By the time I finished everything I needed to do, another week had passed in the blink of an eye.

With all the miscellaneous things gone, dialect has now returned to my studies and daily life.

The production line that Lao Hu borrowed has already started operating.

Daily production has now increased.

In addition, the warehouse manager that Liu Duzhou introduced was actually more capable than everyone thought; he could easily solve all the problems that He Puren was worried about.

His professionalism far surpasses that of He Puren.

He Puren was given a temporary break to seriously study the Wildfire Needle. However, before he could fully understand it, the underground work began again. There were several departments working down there. Fang Yan was now acting as a hands-off manager, arranging the work and then needing to guide He Puren on the details.

Now he's busy with his heels and the back of his head.

On the other hand, the manual submitted to the Ministry of Health has also been reviewed. However, the layout by Fang Yan and his team is a bit messy. Now, Editor-in-Chief Xia from the People's Medical Publishing House is leading a team to re-layout the manual and make the illustrations more professional so that people can understand it at a glance.

Inspired by this book, the Ministry of Health leaders even planned to have doctors in several other places develop their own localized wilderness health manuals, with the main goal of creating a nationwide wilderness survival manual.

Fang Yan felt that if this thing fell into the hands of a fugitive, his chances of survival would skyrocket.

However, he did not come out to deny it. He said that the benefits of this kind of thing outweigh the drawbacks, and it is still possible to do it. If we don't do it now, after the reforms are implemented, probably no one will do it.

After mentioning these things, Director Liao did not continue to arrange dialect-based consultations because the postgraduate entrance examination was approaching.

It seems they intend for him to focus on his studies.

Actually, the dialect is quite ridiculous. Since he has nothing to do in the morning, he has to go and do his internship.

On the contrary, I made more progress than when I treated myself.

However, Fang Yan still appreciated the concern shown by the leadership, so she accepted Director Liao's kindness.

Another point worth mentioning is that after his last return, Secretary Zhou was finally promoted. He has now gone from being Director Liao's secretary to a deputy head of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office.

After reaching this position, he became even more low-key, and didn't even invite anyone to a meal.

Director Liao was quite pleased with his actions.

Finally, patients in Hong Kong sent me telegrams, saying they were all doing well.

The prescription that Fang Yan gave them was very effective, and now they are all praising him in the telegrams.

That's all.

The cooperation between Lao Hu and Hong Kong is still ongoing; the medicines are still at sea and haven't arrived yet. We don't know how the Huo family will perform in the market after they get their hands on them. We'll probably have to wait several more days for news.

The dialect's way of life has returned to its previous state.

When they got home today, they were surprised to find that Old Hu and his wife had come to their house.

He was waving a telegram at Fang Yan with an excited expression.

Speaking in dialect:

"A huge success! A huge success!"

"Haha, congratulations!"

I haven't seen them this happy since they launched their revenge attack last time.

"Our medicines are selling like hotcakes in Hong Kong?" Fang Yan was somewhat surprised by the speed of the Huo family boat.

"Oh, that's not it." Old Hu waved his hand.

Fang Yan was surprised:
"Could it be that the goods from Switzerland and France have already arrived?"

Old Hu was both amused and exasperated. Huang Huijie, who was standing nearby, said:
"Books! Books! Books written by Linlin!"

Fang Yan then realized that Zhu Lin's book, written from a female perspective, had been published in several foreign countries through Lao Hu and his team's efforts.

"What were your results?" Fang Yan asked them curiously.

Old Hu showed the telegram to Fang Yan:

"The first batches in Japan and the United States have already sold out."

"The British one will be here soon too."

"Sales in Malaysia and Singapore are actually quite good too. Anyway, it's a big hit, so we've made a good start!"

Fang Yan gasped in astonishment, exclaiming:
"Wow... That's amazing!?"

Huang Huijie analyzed the dialect as follows:
"Of course, no one has written about Chinese women in the new era from this perspective before. Her appearance opened a window for foreigners to understand China. Moreover, Linlin's perspective is unique. She has not received any special training, but her writing is very simple and straightforward, which makes it easier for foreigners to understand when translated. All of these are reasons why the new book is a bestseller."

"The main customers are women, and this consumer group is quite powerful overseas. They are arguably the most affluent group. So Linlin's book is quite successful. I believe that it won't be long before newspapers overseas come to report on her."

Fang Yan glanced at his wife, who was quite calm, as if it wasn't a big deal.

He gave his wife a thumbs-up in dialect.

"awesome."

Zhu Lin smiled and said:

"Haha, you said before that my book would definitely be a bestseller, why are you so excited now?"

Fang Yan did indeed mention what types of books foreigners like, and predicted that Zhu Lin's book would sell well.

But he never expected it to be this good.

It's been better than expected.

Old Hu said to the dialect:

"We plan to speed up the printing of the next batch and continue selling while the market is still hot, hoping to make more money."

Fang Yan nodded in agreement with his statement.

He didn't know if there were pirated copies of the book overseas at the moment, but since it was selling well, it was best to print another batch as soon as possible, otherwise who knew what would happen later.

That evening, Fang Yan personally cooked a sumptuous dinner for the family to congratulate Zhu Lin, the newly emerging international bestselling female author.

Then the weekend arrived quickly.

That is, May 19, 1978.

This is the second-to-last weekend before the postgraduate entrance exam.

Many people sensed the tense atmosphere, and few people who had planned to have a gathering at Fang Yan's house actually came.

Only Li Zhengji, Xiao Chengzhi, Cheng Baogui, Wang Zhijun, and Chu Qiaonan from Capital Medical University—these five people who weren't afraid of the postgraduate entrance exam—came.

The others, including Lao Fan, Lao Meng, Zhang Yanchang, Yang Jingxiang, Du Heng, and Yan Yifan, are all studying at home.

At this gathering, Fang Yan also has some good news to announce.

That means the company's goods sold very well with the help of the Huo family in Hong Kong.

In addition, Japan's Tsumura Pharmaceutical was also punished for patent infringement, and the fine has been paid back.

Today, the dialect is used to call them over to celebrate.

Furthermore, dialects must continue to be patented to prevent them from exploiting Zhang Zhongjing's classic prescriptions.

Continue to launch a heavy crackdown on other freebies using Chinese medicine formulas.

Today, we'll give some money to the people who came, so they can experience the benefits of patents in China beforehand.

PS: The basic chapter of 6000 words has been updated.

There will be an extra chapter later.
