Chapter 82

"Help me?"

Xia Yuechan slowly raised her head and asked.

"Yes. ——What's wrong? Didn't Miss Xia call me over to help you?" Chu Nan asked curiously.

"…What you told me just now, wasn't that already helping me?"

"Those?" Chu Nan turned around and looked at the lip gloss in the trash can, then smiled, "Hehe, my skills are not just these. A general who only talks about strategy on paper is not a good leader. Since I can sense the shortcomings, I naturally have the ability to make up for them. I just didn't expect… that those samples didn't even have the most basic foundation."

As he spoke, Chu Nan lowered his head and saw the paper and pen in Xia Yuechan's hand.

"Miss Xia, can I borrow your paper and pen?"

Xia Yuechan hesitated for a moment, then handed the paper and pen to Chu Nan.

Without a word, Chu Nan quickly wrote out a prescription with a few strokes and handed it to Xia Yuechan.

"Here, these are the ingredients. I believe your company's financial resources and purchasing power can easily obtain them. Although it will take some effort, remember, they must all be of the best quality, or the effect will be greatly reduced. Also, after purchasing these, call me over again. I will allocate the prescription materials based on their actual properties. Remember, you must have me do the allocation; other so-called experts are not trustworthy."

Chu Nan was right; he didn't really trust the experts and temporary workers who were everywhere these days, especially those who were wise after the fact but foolish before. If the expert Xia Yuechan called made a mistake, it would damage Chu Nan's reputation.

"Is that all?" Xia Yuechan picked up the prescription and asked.

"Yes."

"Um." Xia Yuechan nodded, then without any delay, she called the purchasing department and quickly relayed the prescription.

"Click." Hanging up the phone, Xia Yuechan said, "Um, thank you. When the prescription is fully purchased, I will trouble you again."

"Haha, don't be so formal, it's my duty, my duty." Chu Nan scratched his head and laughed.

Xia Yuechan "Um"ed and then continued to work, lowering her head. Chu Nan stood there like a fool, watching Xia Yuechan, without saying a word. After about five minutes, Xia Yuechan seemed to be completely absorbed in her work, not even looking up, as if she had completely forgotten that Chu Nan was still there.

Just as Chu Nan felt the atmosphere becoming awkward, Xia Yuechan raised her head again and asked, "You… have something else?"

At this moment, Chu Nan suddenly realized… that when Xia Yuechan said thank you, she was already dismissing him.

"Uh, no, nothing else."

So, Chu Nan awkwardly shook his head and left reluctantly.

After leaving Xia Yuechan's place, Chu Nan was originally planning to go to school, but just as he was about to leave, Xia Yuechan sent another text message: "The prescription has been purchased, can you come over?"

"Uh, so fast…"

Without hesitation, Chu Nan went back to Xia Yuechan's house.

Then…

The next part was simple.

The efficient Xia Yuechan personally drove Chu Nan to her company's R&D department, where Chu Nan, under Xia Yuechan's supervision, mixed, boiled, or crushed the purchased ingredients and allocated them. ——It must be said that the R&D department of Xia Yuechan's company had quite complete facilities.

Chu Nan spent the whole day there, feeling a bit tired, but Xia Yuechan was very considerate, accompanying him for the entire day. At noon, Xia Yuechan even had someone bring in some delicious food, and Chu Nan and Xia Yuechan shared lunch in the R&D department's cafeteria.

The only regret was that Chu Nan couldn't accompany Xia Yuechan to tour her company headquarters.

After all, the R&D department carried certain risks. During drug development, explosions and other accidents, though rare, were still a concern. Some drugs or chemicals could even cause gas pollution. This disappointed Chu Nan, who naively thought the R&D department and the company headquarters were together.

He really wanted to see… how Xia Yuechan, as a woman, managed to run an independent company.

It seems… it will have to wait until next time.

After a busy afternoon, Xia Yuechan drove Chu Nan back to his apartment.

In the car.

"Chu Nan, thank you for your help today." Xia Yuechan sincerely thanked him.

Today, Chu Nan had been busy all day, and the formula was almost complete. The next step was further testing. Xia Yuechan tried it, and the effect was really good, with a refreshing taste. This improved her impression of Chu Nan even more.

"Miss Xia, you don't have to thank me so much. You helped me so much before, so… this is what I should do…" Chu Nan turned his head and laughed, but then saw Xia Yuechan's face darken instantly, realizing… he had said the wrong thing again.

"Uh… no, what I mean is… you gave me that job, so I no longer worry about my living expenses…" Chu Nan hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

But how could Xia Yuechan listen to Chu Nan's words? She remained silent, and all the way back to the apartment, she didn't say another word.

However, just as Chu Nan was about to part ways with Xia Yuechan, she suddenly said, "Chu Nan, I want to thank you again for this. When the product is launched, there will be all kinds of problems, and I may need your help."

Chu Nan patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, no problem."

"Um." Xia Yuechan nodded and then said, "Actually, I was thinking, since you have such a high level of traditional Chinese medicine, why don't you open a private TCM clinic or a TCM pharmacy? I think many patients would support you. It's a waste to have your talent go unused."

Chu Nan smiled bitterly, "I would like to… but I don't have the qualifications, and opening a pharmacy requires a large investment. I don't have the conditions for it."

"Then… do you have any interest in coming to help me?"

"Huh?"

"You know, my company combines beauty and medicine. If you come to help me, we can continuously develop more and better products. This way, your medical skills can benefit more people. Don't you think this is a good idea?" Xia Yuechan still didn't smile, but her eyes sparkled with vitality.

PS: Many readers have commented that the early part of this book lacks excitement. Well, this new book focuses on urban ambiguity, while my previous book, "Rebirth of a Super Rich Second Generation," focused on urban battles and commercial revenge. Therefore, "Rebirth of a Super Rich Second Generation" had faster conflict and tension, while "The Divine Doctor" has less obvious conflict. However, readers should notice that I am trying a new style and a new protagonist. Unlike Luo Lin, Chu Nan is a unique and rare man, which will become clearer in the future. Simply put, in the previous book, Luo Lin's revenge was the main plot, with personal grudges playing a significant role. In contrast, Chu Nan has a deep-seated passion for revitalizing traditional Chinese medicine and the nation. — Simply put, the conflicts and tensions in Luo Lin's story come early and frequently. However, the conflicts and climaxes in Chu Nan's story, once triggered by some injustice or a blow to his beliefs, will be even more intense! So, do you want to have a simple meal every day, or a grand feast once a week? — I hope my readers understand my point.

Don't worry, I am confident that this book will be better than the last one. Enjoy it with a happy heart, and you will find the climaxes coming one after another as the plot unfolds.
