My Unexpected CEO Wife

Chapter 948: A Peculiar Patient Arrives

The sales manager briefly explained and chuckled, "Young Master Zhang, what do you think of this plan?"

"Hmm, not bad. Follow your suggestions."

Zhang Yunpeng sneered, "On top of that, add some extra ingredients. I want to ruin Chen Xuan's reputation and make him completely unable to get by."

"When he can't protect those two beauties, they'll have no choice but to submit to me, hahaha..."

...

That afternoon, a special patient arrived.

"Doctor, please take a look at me, my chest feels tight."

The person was a man in his fifties, looking very weak as he entered the door.

Chen Xuan quickly got up and greeted him, "How long have you felt tightness in the chest?"

"Quite a long time." The man replied.

"Let me take your pulse."

Chen Xuan led the man to the consultation room and placed three fingers on his wrist.

Soon, Chen Xuan frowned slightly, "Brother, you have emphysema. Haven't you gone to the hospital for a check-up?"

The man immediately widened his eyes, "Amazing! I didn't expect such a skillful doctor at this unremarkable pharmacy."

Chen Xuan waved his hand with a smile, "There's no need to flatter me, brother. Let's talk about your condition first."

"This isn't something that happens suddenly. Based on my check-up, you've had this illness for at least two years."

"Why are you seeking treatment now? Haven't visited a large hospital before?"

Sigh!

The man sighed, "I have, but it's too expensive and I've been reluctant to spend the money."

"So I've been asking around for remedies in hopes of spending the least amount to heal, sorry for embarrassing myself."

Chen Xuan nodded slightly, seeing the man's modest clothing, which indeed doesn't look like a wealthy person.

"Brother, you've come to the right place."

"I'll prescribe some medicine for you. As long as you take it on time, your illness can be cured."

Chen Xuan said softly, "Additionally, you should be mindful of some precautions, which I'll explain to you later."

"Alright, thank you, doctor." The man nodded in gratitude.

Soon, Chen Xuan wrote a prescription and handed it to Su Linlang, "Prepare the medicine according to the prescription."

"Okay." Su Linlang took the prescription and immediately got busy.

Xiao Yiyi looked excited, "After so many days, finally a decent patient arrived, and we can dispense medicine."

Su Linlang glanced at Xiao Yiyi and whispered, "Don't act so excited; it's disrespectful to the patient."

Xiao Yiyi stuck out her tongue and immediately closed her mouth, cooperating with Su Linlang in preparing the medicine.

Chen Xuan meanwhile explained the precautions to the man in the consultation room.

"Have you remembered all these?" Chen Xuan finished speaking, looking at him.

"Yes, I have." The man nodded solemnly.

"When decocting the medicine, make sure to use a clay pot, not a stainless steel or iron pot, as it affects the efficacy."

Chen Xuan instructed, "If you find it difficult to decoct the medicine yourself, I can do it here for an additional fee of fifty yuan."

The man directly said, "No need, I'll decoct the medicine myself."

"Alright then." Chen Xuan didn't say any more.

Soon, Su Linlang and Xiao Yiyi packed the medicine in a plastic bag and handed it to the man.

The total cost was over five hundred yuan.

The man took the medicine and left the pharmacy, heading towards the distance.

Chen Xuan's expression changed subtly, looking thoughtful.

"What's wrong?" Su Linlang noticed he seemed uneasy and asked.

Chen Xuan smacked his lips lightly, "I feel this patient is a bit odd."

"What's odd about him?" Su Linlang asked, puzzled.

"Generally, his illness would be treated at a large hospital, not chosen at a small pharmacy." Chen Xuan said lightly.

Xiao Yiyi quickly chimed in, "He just said it, because he's short on money, he chose the small pharmacy."

Chen Xuan shook his head slightly, "At first glance, that reason seems plausible, but the issue is... why would he choose our pharmacy?"

"After all, we just opened not too long ago, barely anyone knows, and the location is quite remote. Almost no one has come for treatment here, he's practically the first."

"All factors considered, I feel something seems off."

Su Linlang pondered for a moment, "Don't overthink it, maybe he just stumbled upon us by chance."

"Even if there's an issue, you prescribed medicine based on his condition, don't you trust your medical skills?"

Chen Xuan laughed dryly, "Hmm, perhaps I'm overthinking."

He stopped dwelling on this matter.

However, when the man returned, Zhang Yunpeng stopped him.

Looking at the medicine bag in his hand, he handed it to the sales manager for inspection, who recognized the herbs.

The sales manager checked it briefly, then smirked, "Young Master Zhang, the plan is very successful; we just need to add one more herb."

Then he looked at the man, "Once you take this pill, you'll foam at the mouth, your face will turn black."

"You'll faint and appear near-death, but don't worry, you won't be harmed."

"Once the plan succeeds, fifty thousand yuan will be yours!"

The man hesitated, "Are you sure this pill won't be fatal?"

"Relax, we're not joking about your life," the sales manager nodded with a smile.
