Chapter 010: Medicinal Ingredients
Little brother, how did you offend our Hu faction this time without realizing it?" Chen Yu quietly changed "young man" to "little brother"
Chen Yu glanced around and quietly said, "Do you really have this confidence, little brother? For this matter, at home, well, harmony brings prosperity, you know..."
Chen Yu nodded without speaking, indicating his agreement with Zhou Yang's statement—he was certainly well aware of Director Hu's character and was unwilling to assist in wrongdoing.
Chen Yu stated that there were no issues and asked them to return to school first. Regarding Zhou Yang's matter, the police will certainly handle it fairly and so on
Zhou Yang continued, "Although your illness is very simple and easy to treat, the medicinal catalyst is rather difficult to obtain"
The girl was already sent back to school yesterday. It was you who hit her, not her. Don't worry, " Chen Yu said, " Go ahead, tell me what you want to eat, and I will have someone buy it for you.
Little brother, why don't you tell me what exactly that medicinal catalyst is and where it can be purchased
After graduating from the Police Officer University, Chen Yu was initially assigned to the Public Security Bureau, but was later transferred to a subordinate police station due to offending his superiors
The terms mountain, medicine, fate, mutual, and divination all share the same root and origin, having developed from the I Ching. Although my medical skills are not particularly refined, I am still able to address common ailments!" Zhou Yang said solemnly
When Chu Qiao Qiao saw Zhou Yang, her beautiful eyes immediately became watery, and her concern was evident: "Zhou Yang, have you eaten? This is the breakfast I brought for you..."
"Sigh, I certainly know that only by working hard can I have a chance, but no one appreciates it. Even if I work myself to death, no one will see it!" Chen Yu shook his head helplessly, "In this day and age, working hard and doing it for the heavens, without any connections, is essentially in vain!"
After finishing breakfast and tidying up the battlefield, Chen Yu organized the work at the office and then went to the office alone
"What? Really?" Chen Yu stood up excitedly, then shyly sat back down. "Little brother, even if you can read faces, you are not a doctor. How could you possibly treat illnesses?"
I can definitely cure that illness of yours!" Zhou Yang said with great confidence
This medicine is a bit of a rarity, yet there are not many places that sell it Zhou Yang deliberately left it at that
At that moment, Chu Qiao Qiao led her homeroom teacher, Teacher Wang, to the police station, wanting to understand the situation and to rescue Zhou Yang. After returning to school last night, Chu Qiao Qiao immediately found her homeroom teacher and detailed the sequence of events, requesting the teacher to intervene and save Zhou Yang
Soon, a police officer brought two breakfasts, and Chen Yu and Zhou Yang began to eat together in the office
As Teacher Wang led Chu Qiao Qiao away, she looked back at Zhou Yang several times. In her gaze, besides gratitude and concern, there seemed to be an indescribable thread of something else.
"Absolutely not lying!" Zhou Yang said, "Don't mistakenly think that physiognomy is some sort of superstition; in fact, it shares the same roots as traditional Chinese medicine's pulse diagnosis. To put it simply, it's like a melon farmer selecting watermelons. An experienced person can tell whether a watermelon is good or bad, ripe or unripe, just by gently tapping it. It's just that the practice of physiognomy is a bit more complex."
"Well, cough, I say, young man, it's already past eight o'clock. What would you like to eat for breakfast? I can have someone buy it for you first," Chen Yu shifted the topic and said, "A person is like iron, and food is like steel; if you skip a meal, you'll feel anxious. It's the time for growth, so you must have breakfast first before anything else..."
Chen Yu's wife happens to be a strong woman who aspires for her husband to achieve great success. She constantly hopes for Chen Yu to be promoted and rise in his career, so that she can enjoy the benefits of being a successful wife. Observing that Chen Yu has been stagnant in his position, she often shows her displeasure towards him.
Hehe, thank you, Director. Then please bring me two plates of soup dumplings and a bowl of eight-treasure porridge! Zhou Yang felt much more at ease upon hearing that Chu Qiao Qiao had returned to school
Rest assured, it is definitely not the heart of a mosquito or the liver of an ant, " Zhou Yang said in a lowered voice, " a personnel order for promotion is all it takes! "
Unfortunately, the doctor only focuses on diagnosing the illness and prescribing medication, but Chen Yu truly has no way to obtain that special medicinal catalyst
I just finished eating, thank you, Chu Qiao Qiao! Zhou Yang acted very serious in front of the homeroom teacher
"Hu Suo? Is he the son of Hu Gongming, the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau? I have never even seen him, and how could a student like me possibly offend your director!" Zhou Yang replied
"Little brother, you just mentioned that I have that, ahem, difficult-to-speak-of issue. Do you think it can be cured?" Chen Yu was very concerned about this matter, as it had caused significant discord in his marital relationship.
"Director Chen, I absolutely did not lie; I truly acted out of a sense of justice..." Zhou Yang briefly explained the situation to Chen Yu
Regarding educational qualifications and credentials, Chen Yu was quite dissatisfied with Hu Hui, the soldier who had returned to civilian life. However, Hu Hui came from a good background; his father was the deputy director of the county bureau, which naturally meant that he had priority for favorable opportunities.
"Little brother, do you really know how to read faces?" Chen Yu shifted the topic back to the art of face reading
As time went on, Chen Yu inevitably encountered occasional issues in his marital life. His wife not only failed to understand but instead resorted to sarcastic remarks. Gradually, Chen Yu developed a difficult-to-express secret...
Chen Yu nodded slightly: "Hu Su might arrive a bit late today, so he arranged for me to come over and handle this matter for you"
After watching Chu Qiao leave, Zhou Yang said softly: "Director Chen, that bait of yours is actually right in the palm of your hand..."
Teacher Wang glanced at Zhou Yang, then at Chu Qiao Qiao, and couldn't help but murmur to himself: This Chu Qiao Qiao has been insisting all along that her relationship with Zhou Yang is purely that of classmates, but looking at the situation before me, it certainly seems to have the flavor of a romantic relationship
Thus, when Zhou Yang accurately described his condition and now directly pointed to the root of the illness, how could Chen Yu not be excited
This is indeed difficult to handle!" Chen Yu shook his head helplessly
Sure, no problem, I didn't have breakfast either. Let's eat together!" Chen Yu stood up and called out to the door, "Xiao Yang, go buy me some soup dumplings and eight-treasure porridge, buy plenty, enough for two people!"
Thank you, officer! As for me, I can just eat something casual, but the classmate who came with me, that is, the girl Chu Qiao Qiao, how can she skip breakfast?" Thinking of the delicate Chu Qiao Qiao, who likely hadn't eaten either, Zhou Yang couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy.
Teacher Wang introduced the situations of two students to Chen Yu, proving that they are not involved in early romantic relationships, and expressed hope that the police would handle the matter appropriately, minimizing any impact on the students' studies
Director Chen, in fact, the key to this medicine is in your own hands! Zhou Yang, observing Chen Yu's expression shifting between light and dark, naturally understood what he was thinking, and thus seized the opportunity to cast out another bait.
Later, he served for many years in the position of deputy director, while his subordinate, Officer Hu Hui, who is also the son of Hu Gongming, the deputy director of the county bureau, made the rounds in several stations and unexpectedly returned here to be promoted as Chen Yu's superior
"What is a medicinal guide? If it can truly cure, I am willing to pay any price to buy it!" Chen Yu coughed lightly, "Of course, the premise is that I can afford it!"
