"Are you finished?" Li Se looked at him, his tone somewhat impatient.
"Don't be so arrogant. It's you who needs my teacher, not us asking you to be a consultant for your company, understand?" Qin Wei Cai was furious. This brat was asking for his teacher's help, yet he dared to have such an attitude. He was extremely displeased.
"Did I say I wanted to hire your teacher?" Li Se asked.
"What do you mean?" Qin Wei Cai's face darkened.
"Get lost. Your teacher isn't qualified to be a consultant for our company!" Li Se waved his hand impatiently.
Qin Wei Cai laughed angrily, "Fine, fine. Since that's the case, then find someone more famous. Don't think you can be arrogant just because two of your drugs are selling well. Without a good Chinese medicine practitioner as a consultant, your company won't go far!"
Without bothering to reply to Qin Wei Cai, after leaving the teahouse, Zhang Ai Min looked at Li Se and said, "I originally wanted to find a famous Chinese medicine practitioner, but it seems that's not possible now. How about you be a consultant for our company?"
Li Se smiled helplessly, "I don't have any fame. How about this, I'll ask Elder Hua and Elder Huang. Otherwise, what do you think about the entire Chinese Medicine Association becoming our company's consultant?"
"Wouldn't that be inappropriate?" Zhang Ai Min hesitated. "Wouldn't that be a bit of using public office for private gain?"
"I'll discuss it with them," Li Se thought it made sense, and decided to discuss it first.
When he returned to the clinic, Li Se was about to discuss the consultant matter with Elder Huang and the others, but at that moment, a man dressed quite lavishly arrived at the clinic. Upon entering, he asked, "Is Divine Doctor Li here?"
"Are you looking for me?" Li Se looked at him in confusion, also observing him. He didn't look like someone who was ill.
"Are you Divine Doctor Li?" The man was a bit excited. "Could you please come out for a house call?"
"A house call?" Li Se was surprised. "I have requirements for house calls. I don't go out unless it's a difficult and complicated illness."
"For some reason, my mother has been acting crazy frequently lately. After examination at the hospital, no cause was found. I heard that Divine Doctor Li at Ji Shi Chinese Medicine Clinic has the medical skill to bring the dead back to life, so I specifically came to invite Divine Doctor Li for a house call." The man said very sincerely.
"Alright, I'll accompany you for the house call," Li Se nodded.
Along the way, Li Se also learned the other person's name was Cui Bo. He was a businessman, and quite successful, with a net worth of several hundred million.
Soon, they arrived in front of a luxurious Western-style house. Upon entering, they saw an old Chinese medicine practitioner giving acupuncture to an old lady.
Cui Bo said, "This is the doctor I specially invited to see my mother. He is also a divine doctor, named Xie Yi Xian, but he is also helpless with my mother's condition."
"I know him," Li Se smiled.
Xie Yi Xian had just finished his acupuncture when he saw Li Se appear, and his brow furrowed. "Mr. Cui, why did you bring a young kid?"
"Divine Doctor Xie, Divine Doctor Li has the medical skill to bring the dead back to life in Qingyun City, so I specially invited him to take a look at my mother's illness," Cui Bo explained.
"Heh heh!" Xie Yi Xian was somewhat disdainful. "A young kid can bring the dead back to life? It's just hearsay. You believe such nonsense? Moreover, how can there truly be a way to bring the dead back to life in this world?"
Li Se wasn't angry and said, "Divine Doctor Xie, whether I have the ability to bring the dead back to life, you should have witnessed it at Zhong Bao Ge some time ago, shouldn't you have?"
"That was just your good luck!" Qin Wei Cai, standing nearby, was somewhat annoyed. He had met Li Se just an hour ago and dared to say his teacher was not qualified to be a consultant for his company, which was simply detestable!
"Since your medical skills are so superb, why are you still seeking my help?" Xie Yi Xian said with disdain. "I heard that Yuan Feng Pharmaceutical is related to you, and the two drugs are selling quite well, so you invited me to be this Chinese medicine consultant. But if your medical skills are already that great, why are you still coming to ask me? Don't you think you're being contradictory?"
"Don't worry, as soon as I learned you were such a quack, I immediately refused to cooperate with you," Li Se said calmly.
Xie Yi Xian was somewhat angered and snorted, "At such a young age, you only know how to cheat everywhere. Last time was just a fluke, a blind cat catching a dead mouse. Do you really think your luck will always be so good?"
As he spoke, he quickly looked at Cui Bo and said, "Mr. Cui, you should reconsider. So young, do you really think he can be a divine doctor? To put it bluntly, even if he started learning medicine from the womb, at this age, he wouldn't have achieved anything. Chinese medicine is rigorous, and one careless mistake can lead to irreversible regrets."
Xie Yi Xian's advice made Cui Bo hesitate. He had also heard of Divine Doctor Li's reputation, but he hadn't expected him to be so young. However, he still wanted to give it a try. But after hearing Xie Yi Xian's words, he began to falter.
"If I'm not mistaken, Divine Doctor Xie's diagnosis just now should be a psychological condition caused by stagnation of phlegm and Qi, or deficiency of Qi with phlegm accumulation?" Li Se said calmly.
"You..." Xie Yi Xian's face changed. He was actually guessed correctly by this kid.
"That's right," Cui Bo immediately nodded.
"And your acupuncture is merely to allow your mother to sleep soundly, treating the symptoms but not the root cause, because after waking up, she will still be in a state of madness," Li Se shook his head.
"Good kid, treating the symptoms for this kind of illness is already quite good. Do you still want to treat the root cause?" Xie Yi Xian said mockingly. "Let alone me, even imperial physicians from the capital would be helpless. If you don't believe me, then contact an imperial physician and have them see if they have a solution."
"Divine Doctor Li, do you have a solution?" Cui Bo could only look at Li Se. After hearing him state Xie Yi Xian's diagnosis, he naturally developed some trust in Li Se.
"Mr. Cui, you are mistaken," Xie Yi Xian shook his head. "He just got lucky by guessing my diagnosis. In fact, anyone who understands a bit of Chinese medicine and knows some symptoms can guess it. This kind of illness cannot be cured, it can only be managed through medication to try and prevent the patient from entering a state of madness. If you casually believe this kid, you will only harm yourself and others. At his age, wanting to cure an illness is almost impossible!"
Li Se retorted without politeness, "You can't do it, it's because you are a quack, merely having a false reputation. I already know the cause of the illness!"
"Divine Doctor Li, can you cure it then?" Cui Bo asked excitedly.
"Now that the cause is known, of course, it can be cured!" Li Se said with full confidence.
"Amazing, amazing!" Xie Yi Xian still sneered. "Since that's the case, then show us what you can do. Divine Doctor Li, oh right, have you brought the Nine Palaces Chain Needles? If you can't cure it, let me have the needles. They are of no use to you, merely a waste of good material."
Xie Yi Xian was still coveting these Nine Palaces Chain Needles. He was very certain that at Li Se's age, it would be impossible to cure Cui's mother. Therefore, he not only wanted to see Li Se make a fool of himself but also wanted to conveniently take the Nine Palaces Chain Needles, killing two birds with one stone! Even imperial physicians, let alone Li Se, would be unable to cure it!!
