Chapter 38: A Curative Effect Reveals True Feelings
[First paragraph]
Chen Shanhe carried a warm bowl of medicinal soup into the old leader's office, and the rich aroma of traditional Chinese medicine instantly filled the entire space.
Seeing him struggling to sit up, Chen Shanhe quickly stepped forward to support him and gently comforted him, "Old leader, just lie there and drink, don't force yourself."
The old leader nodded, tilted his head back and drank the bowl of medicine in one gulp, his brows furrowed slightly but he did not spit it out.
"Xiao Chen, your medicine is really effective!" The old leader said in a cheerful voice, his eyes full of approval.
Chen Shanhe nodded slightly and then carefully instructed, "The first step is that you must quit smoking and drinking, and avoid spicy food. You must not make any exceptions during this period, otherwise the medicine will be much less effective."
Chen Shanhe gave his former leader a few more instructions before turning to leave.
Murong Fangxiang watched his retreating figure, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
Downstairs in the lobby, Mr. Wang was pointing at the security guard and yelling at him:
"What kind of lousy doctor is this! How dare they say the jewelry I handed over is fake! You're clearly ganging up on me! You must apologize to me today!"
Chen Shanhe strode over, his gaze calmly sweeping across the room before settling on President Wang's face. He spoke in a deep voice, "President Wang, do you have any evidence to prove my assessment is fake?"
Mr. Wang pointed at him, his arrogance palpable: "Evidence? You young man, exposing me to my face is evidence! Now you've ruined my business, you must apologize!"
Chen Shanhe's eyes turned cold, and his aura suddenly intensified: "My appraisal is based on craftsmanship, texture, and on-site investigation; the evidence is irrefutable! Your disturbance here is nothing more than a loss of face for yourself!"
At this moment, Chen Shanhe was completely concerned about the recovery progress of his old leader upstairs...
[Second paragraph]
"Chen Shanhe! How is the old leader feeling?" Su Wanjing's voice came through the receiver.
"It's much better now, the cough and wheezing are much more stable. With a few more days of treatment, it should be completely effective." Chen Shanhe said gently.
On the other end of the phone, Su Wanjing started nagging again: "Then you have to take good care of yourself and don't overwork yourself! If anyone dares to bully you, tell me immediately and I'll deal with them! Also, eat on time and don't forget..."
Chen Shanhe listened quietly: "I understand, I'll do whatever you say."
Murong Fang held a steaming cup of coffee and gently placed it on the armrest beside Chen Shanhe, her voice gentle: "It's freshly made. You've been busy all morning, have some to relax."
Chen Shanhe looked up at her, nodded his thanks, and took a sip of his coffee.
The two sat side by side, and no one spoke for a moment.
Murong Fangxiang lowered her voice: "The old leader's recovery has exceeded my expectations. I didn't expect you to be so skilled in medicine at such a young age."
Chen Shanhe lowered his head, took a sip of coffee, and said calmly, "It was just a normal performance, nothing special."
Murong Fangxiang quickly added, "The old leader has already said that once he's fully recovered, he'll approve the funding for you to set up a clinic in the provincial capital. I'll handle the rest of the paperwork for you."
Chen Shanhe looked up at her: "Then I'll have to trouble Miss Murong."
"It's my duty." Murong Fangxiang smiled but didn't say anything more.
She stood up and said softly, "I have something to do, so I'll go now. Call me anytime if there's anything from the old boss."
Chen Shanhe nodded: "Okay."
Murong Fangxiang turned and left, but after a few steps, she subconsciously looked back.
[Third paragraph]
The air inside the office was warm and humid.
"Fangxiang, we really owe you a lot this time." The old leader looked up at her.
Murong Fangxiang bowed slightly: "You flatter me, senior leader. It is our blessing to be able to cure your illness."
The old leader said with a hint of teasing, "You're not getting any younger, you need to have a longer-term vision."
Young people as talented and reliable as Xiao Chen are rare. Spend more time with him, learn from his composure and insight; it will only benefit you.
These words imply a desire to bring people together.
Murong Fangxiang's cheeks flushed instantly: "Old leader, you've misunderstood. Dr. Chen and I have only a purely professional working relationship."
The old leader saw that she was so shy.
He waved his hand, signaling her to step back.
Murong Fangxiang breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and quickly walked out of the office.
Just as I stood still in the corridor:
"Miss Murong, something terrible has happened! That jeweler, Mr. Wang, is causing a scene in the lobby downstairs with a group of people! He claims we colluded with Dr. Chen to cheat him and he's demanding an explanation!"
"I understand, I'll be right down," Murong Fangxiang said in a deep voice.
She hung up the phone and hurried downstairs.
Downstairs in the lobby, Mr. Wang stood with his hands on his hips, yelling at the security guards, "What kind of bullshit experts are you! What kind of young doctors are you! My jewelry is genuine! You must apologize to me and compensate me for my losses!"
Murong Fangxiang strode to the center of the crowd and said in a deep voice, "President Wang, let's talk this out. Don't cause trouble here. This is the provincial government office area; what kind of behavior is this?"
[Paragraph 4]
Downstairs in the lobby, Mr. Wang pointed at the security guard and yelled, "What kind of lousy doctor is this! How dare he say my jewelry is fake! Now all my business is ruined! He deserves an explanation today!"
Just then, Chen Shanhe walked in, his gaze calmly sweeping across the room: "President Wang, do you have any evidence that my jewelry is fake?"
Mr. Wang pointed at him and said, "You exposed me on the spot, and that's evidence! Now I've suffered huge losses, you must apologize!"
Chen Shanhe's eyes turned cold, and his imposing aura instantly rose: "My appraisal is based on craftsmanship and texture; the evidence is irrefutable. Your troublemaking only makes you lose face and solves nothing."
Tensions were high between the two sides, and a major conflict seemed imminent.
Many people looked at Mr. Wang with sympathy and chimed in, "Mr. Wang is rich and powerful, how could he get swindled when buying jewelry? This young man must be unreliable."
Ignoring the surrounding noise, Chen Shanhe reached into his canvas bag, pulled out a brown paper file folder, strode over to General Manager Wang, and placed the folder in the center of the crowd.
"Here are photos of the craftsmanship details I took during my on-site inspection, as well as test reports on the jewelry materials. Take a look for yourself."
Mr. Wang's expression changed, but he forced a smile and shouted, "I won't look! You're the ones who did it!"
"Whether it's tampered with or not, you'll know once you see it." Chen Shanhe said confidently, reaching out to pull out the documents from the file folder and spreading them out one by one on the display stand next to him.
The photos show rough polishing marks at the joints of the jewelry's texture and test data on its material composition, all of which point directly to the fact that the jewelry is a counterfeit.
Upon seeing this, Murong Fangxiang immediately stepped forward and took out the appraisal certificate she carried with her, comparing it point by point with Chen Shanhe's report: "President Wang, Dr. Chen's appraisal process was fully recorded and compliant with regulations. My appraisal report also has the seal of a professional institution, and it is by no means a forgery."
The men who had just been supporting Mr. Wang quietly fell silent after seeing the evidence in the photos.
"Exposing it in public is to prevent more people from being fooled." Chen Shanhe met his gaze, his tone calm yet sharp. "You do business with integrity, not by arguing. Today, either go through the proper authentication channels, or you take your people and leave. Don't disrupt the provincial government's order here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the voice of the security captain came from afar: "Mr. Wang, if this continues, we will have no choice but to ask the local police station to mediate."
Looking at Chen Shanhe's irrefutable evidence, and glancing at the people around him who were gradually leaning towards Chen Shanhe, and then thinking about the police station's intervention, Mr. Wang's arrogance instantly subsided by more than half.
He opened his mouth, then stomped his foot angrily and led the people around him out of the crowd in a sorry state.
As the commotion subsided, the crowd gradually dispersed.
Murong Fangxiang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Chen Shanhe: "Thanks to you, otherwise this matter would have been really difficult to handle today."
Chen Shanhe shook his head and put the document back into the file folder: "Just following the rules."
He looked up at the direction of the provincial government office building, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
This jewelry scandal, though seemingly a minor incident, serves as a signal that the road ahead may not be peaceful.
Meanwhile, the old leader upstairs, upon learning that the commotion downstairs had subsided, looked at the documents in his hand and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
He knew that Chen Shanhe, this young man, was not only highly skilled in medicine, but also very composed in handling matters.
The clinic in this provincial capital will probably be set up soon.
