Li Qiuhua was the first, and so far, the only person Du Heng had brought back from the brink of death.
He was extrely clear about her treatnt process and dication usage. For such a condition of extre deficiency and excess, treatnt needed to focus on both attacking and supplenting. Therefore, he had used a variation of the nurishing origin and strengthening essence powder. This formula, utilizing potent ingredients, robustly supplented the innate kidney qi and rebuilt the body’s immunity. He had also employed blood-stasis-resolving, phlegm-dispelling, and insect-derived dicines. To address the disease’s entrenched nature, which was difficult to attack directly, he adopted a gentle offensive strategy: fortifying the upright qi to secure the root, progressing from superficial to deep, ticulously clearing obstructions by entering the collaterals, and dispelling stasis to dissolve nodules—all attacking the pathogen without damaging the righteous qi. Finally, using blast-fried pangolin scales and musk as a dicinal pair, they thoroughly penetrated and broke through, dispelling foulness and transforming turbidity, guiding all the dicines directly into the lung orifices to clear out damp phlegm and dead blood.
It was the comprehensive use of these dicines, combined with Li Qiuhua’s follow-up examination results, that seed to have a repairing and activating effect on damaged lung tissue lesions. However, Li Qiuhua’s treatnt ti was still short and couldn’t be taken as sufficient evidence. Moreover, there was only one case like hers so far, and no other cases for Du Heng to verify his hypothesis. Nevertheless, with Li Qiuhua’s precedent, Du Heng would definitely pursue a complete cure as his ultimate goal in treating Yang Yuansheng. Moreover, his current dication approach was also geared towards this direction.
Hearing Du Heng’s response, Yu Haiting slowed his pace and was stunned for a mont. He might have misheard. He actually sensed a hint of confidence from Du Heng—confidence in reversing and curing liver cirrhosis.
Their age difference wasn’t significant, but looking at Du Heng’s back, Yu Haiting felt he seed taller, more solid and dependable.
Yu Haiting didn’t ask any further questions. He hoped that the confidence Du Heng showed could be maintained and eventually beco a reality, rather than turning into arrogance and conceit.
In the remaining ti of the morning, Du Heng and Yu Haiting took the initiative to handle all the treatnt work, freeing up Wu Buwei and Xiao Li.
In the afternoon, Du Heng took the sorted materials and went to see An Chunhui. As for whether An Chunhui would make a big fuss, and to what extent, this was not sothing Du Heng needed to concern himself with.
After reporting the matter, Du Heng checked the ti and decided not to return to the Health Clinic. Instead, he left work early to find Zhao Xinfang.
Well, being a leader had its perks, like being able to co and go from work at any ti without anyone checking attendance. Even if soone did, Wang Zhenzhen would handle it when she did the records.
Zhao Xinfang had already found a job—not the food delivery driver or courier positions he had initially considered. Although those two jobs had low entry barriers and offered relatively high incos, Du Heng and Wang Shuqiu would never have agreed to let him do such work, considering Zhao Xinfang’s situation, as it was too dangerous.
Zhao Xinfang indeed looked much better now. He hadn’t had a relapse in over a month and could manage his emotions better when encountering triggers. But with epilepsy, especially now, during the consolidation phase of treatnt, who could guarantee there wouldn’t be a relapse? If he suddenly had a seizure while riding his bike for deliveries amidst heavy traffic, the harm to himself and others could be irreparable.
So, in the end, Du Heng had used a connection through his Classmate to arrange a position for Zhao Xinfang as a deliveryman for dicine Ingredients at the Herbal dicine Company where this Classmate worked. The job was not tiring but a bit dirty, as it involved following the delivery truck and helping to move dicine Ingredients and dicinal products into the various pharmacies. However, deliveries followed a schedule and weren’t constant. According to his Classmate, Zhao Xinfang would spend about half his ti in the warehouse, needing to plan delivery routes in advance, sort and organize the dicine Ingredients and dicinal products, and determine the loading order for the truck.
Of course, the salary for such a job couldn’t be too high. During the one-month probation period, the salary was 3,600 yuan. After passing probation, it would increase to 4,000 yuan. Including full attendance, allowances, bonuses, and the like, he could earn 4,300-4,400 yuan a month.
Zhao Xinfang had only been on the job for a week. Although Du Heng’s Classmate, a regional manager, had promised to look out for him, he couldn’t possibly attend to every detail for a regional delivery employee. Besides, Du Heng felt he couldn’t keep troubling him, especially since arranging the job was already a significant favor.
Since Du Heng had ti today, he wanted to see how Zhao Xinfang was faring at work and whether he was adapting. After all, it was the young man’s first ti away from ho and his first formal job, so Du Heng and Wang Shuqiu still had many concerns.
Upon arriving, Du Heng didn’t imdiately look for Zhao Xinfang. Instead, he bought two large bags of various fruits and went to find his Classmate, Liao Quansheng, the regional manager of the Herbal dicine Company.
"Well, well, Du! Are you here to visit relatives or sothing?" Liao Quansheng exclaid. His office, all glass partitions, was brightly lit, yet the dark, complete set of executive furniture inside looked a bit tacky. Liao Quansheng chuckled as he watched Du Heng walk in with two bags of fruit, rising to greet him. "You could’ve just co yourself, no need to bring such a lavish gift. You’re being too formal!"
Du Heng, pretending not to understand the sarcasm, chuckled and said, "Isn’t this to thank you? You’re the benefactor who helped out big ti."
"Don’t ntion it," Liao Quansheng said, waving it off but clearly pleased. "Your brother-in-law is my brother-in-law; it’s only natural I’d help. Besides, it was nothing. It’s my own brother-in-law’s company, so arranging a delivery driver position is a piece of cake for ." Even as old classmates, he couldn’t resist playfully emphasizing their connection.
Du Heng put the two bags of fruit on the table and, not standing on ceremony, plopped down on the sofa. "Still, I have to thank you. After all, he’s my own dear brother-in-law. A gift too ager would be embarrassing."
Liao Quansheng rolled his eyes, poured Du Heng a cup of tea, and placed it before him. "Can’t you tell I’m being sarcastic? You think two bags of fruit is enough to ’thank’ ?"
"Don’t be ungrateful. These two bags of fruit cost over a hundred yuan. Besides, you’re a leader in your company now. If I give you too expensive a gift, aren’t you afraid of being reported?"
Liao Quansheng looked at Du Heng, speechless. "I’m an employee of a private company, and it’s my family’s company at that. What the hell is there to report? Just admit you’re stingy and stop making excuses."
After laughing, the two began to chat casually. When the topic turned to dicine Ingredients, Liao Quansheng suddenly said, "Oh, right, let give you a heads-up. A company recently acquired a batch of substandard dicine Ingredients, and so of them are outright fakes. I heard they’re targeting rural areas, planning to offload this batch at extrely low prices. You need to be on guard; don’t fall into their trap."
Du Heng sighed with a hint of helplessness. "You’re a bit late with the warning. Our township has already been hit. Four village doctor clinics have been affected. I don’t have the authority to investigate private clinics, but based on feedback from so patients, it’s almost certain that others have also fallen victim."
"Damn it! Those bastards move fast! I only found out about this last Friday. Did your Health Clinic suffer any losses?"
"It’s manageable. The four clinics I identified are cooperating and have already contacted the people who sold them the dicine Ingredients. As for the outco, I don’t know. Anyway, I’ve said and done what I could. The rest is up to the Supervision Departnt."
Du Heng suddenly slapped his thigh. "Alright, enough chitchat. I’m going to see Xiao Fang."
Liao Quansheng also got up. "Let’s go together. There are too many warehouses; you probably wouldn’t find him. Besides, I could use a walk."
