Chapter 298 No Medical License
Yuan Bao held his phone and glanced at Bao Guo with some surprise.
“You’re too kind, it’s what we should do,” she replied gently. “How is the old man doing now?”
The woman's voice on the other end of the phone was choked with emotion: "She's out of danger. The doctor said it was fortunate the on-site treatment was handled properly, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable..."
She paused, then continued, "My father said he absolutely must thank you in person, but I was wondering if it would be convenient for you..."
Yuan Bao pondered for a moment, glanced at the unfinished shop, and thought that he had only helped in a way he could, but did not want to cause too much trouble, so he replied: "We are currently preparing for the opening of a new store, so we may not be able to spare the time."
However, the most important thing is for the old man to rest and recover. Once your father has recovered, he is welcome to visit our shop anytime.
"A new store?" The other person seemed intrigued. "What kind of business do you run?"
Bao Guo, who overheard the conversation, leaned closer to the phone and added, "We've opened a traditional Chinese medicine clinic and a coffee shop/Western restaurant next to the car wash, and they'll be open next month."
"That's wonderful!" The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly brightened. "Our family is in the medical device business, and my father has always been very interested in traditional Chinese medicine. We'll definitely pay him a visit once he's discharged from the hospital!"
After hanging up the phone, Bao Guo raised an eyebrow: "Looks like we've already picked up a potential customer before we even open for business?"
Yuan Bao smiled and shook her head: "It's fate, I guess. But..." She looked thoughtfully towards the car wash, "I was just thinking, shouldn't we prepare some first-aid kits? In case we encounter something like this again..."
“That makes sense.” Bao Guo pulled out his phone’s memo app. “I’ll write this down and ask General Manager Lin about the proper channels later…”
Yuan Bao thought for a moment and decided to ask President Lin for the pills so that they would have a legitimate source: "Okay, you can ask President Lin. I'll also prepare some emergency pills here, so that we can have both without any problems."
Just then, Yuan Bao's phone rang again.
This time it was Yuan's mother calling: "Xiao Zhi's out of school. Are you all done with your work over there?"
Yuan Bao then realized that it was already late, and the setting sun cast a golden-red glow on the glass curtain wall of the shop.
As she packed her things, she replied, "Mom, we're going back now..."
On the way back, the brother and sister were still discussing the unexpected events of the day.
No one expected that this accidental rescue would later bring unexpected opportunities to their business.
Yuan Bao and Bao Guo parked their car and had just walked downstairs when they saw Xiao Zhi running towards them like a happy little bird.
"Mom! Uncle! Guess what good thing happened today?" Xiao Zhi's face was flushed, and his schoolbag bounced back and forth on his back.
Yuan Bao ruffled his hair: "Let Mom guess...did you get a perfect score on the math quiz again?"
"No, that's not it!" Xiao Zhi mysteriously pulled a piece of colored paper from his schoolbag.
"Look! I've been chosen as a campus reporter! The teacher said we should interview entrepreneurs near the school, and our family's new store was the first one that came to mind!"
Bao Guo laughed heartily, lifting Xiao Zhi high above his head: "Good lad! This is practically giving your shop free advertising!"
The three of them walked home, chatting and laughing.
When they got home, Yuan's mother was watching TV in the living room. When she saw the three of them come back, she smiled and said, "That little rascal Xiaozhi must have something exciting to tell you today. He insisted on waiting for you downstairs."
"Xiao Zhi said he's been chosen as a campus reporter and will have to help promote our new store!" Yuan Bao suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Xiao Zhi, when you're doing your interviews, you can include the story of saving someone today."
"Really? That's great! Mom, please tell me the details!"
After Yuan Bao finished telling him about how he accidentally saved an old man, Xiao Zhi excitedly danced around, "I'm going to write about my mom as a superhero!"
After listening, Aunt Yuan felt both heartache and pride: "You all are just too kind-hearted. But then again, it would really be a good thing if our TCM clinic could add emergency services."
After dinner, Yuan Bao's phone suddenly received a text message from an unknown number: "Hello Ms. Yuan, I am the son of the old man you helped today."
My father is out of danger; the doctor said it was a mild heart attack. Our whole family would like to visit him to express our gratitude. Would tomorrow be a convenient day?
Bao Guo leaned closer, saw the text message, and his eyes lit up: "Looks like our connection is about to continue. Little sister, do you think this could be our shop's first VIP customer?"
Yuan Bao had refused once in the afternoon, and it wouldn't be good to refuse again now, so he replied to the message and arranged a time to meet at the shop.
The next morning, Yuan Bao got up very early.
As she stretched on the balcony, she noticed that Bao Guo was already practicing Tai Chi in the community garden.
Not long after Baoguo returned, Yuan Bao greeted him, "Brother, why are you so enthusiastic today?"
Yuan Bao handed one of the two cups of hot milk to his older brother.
Bao Guo finished his breathing exercises, took the milk, and smiled, "I just need to leave for the shop early later. Also, I just messaged President Lin, and he said he could help introduce me to a few traditional Chinese medicine experts..."
As the two were talking, Yuan's mother returned from the morning market carrying a shopping basket: "I bought the freshest crispy grass carp. Let's see if we want to grill fish fillets today."
Just then, Xiao Zhi hopped out of the kitchen with a slice of bread in his mouth: "Mom, Grandma, can I take the day off today? I want to participate in the interview!"
"Dream on!" Yuan Bao lightly flicked his forehead. "Your main task right now is to study hard. Interviews will happen when the opportunity arises."
After breakfast, Yuan Bao and his older brother went to the shop and cleaned and arranged one of the rooms.
At 10 a.m., a discreet black sedan pulled up in front of the shop.
A middle-aged man in a sharp suit helped a sprightly old man out of the car—it was the same old man who had fainted yesterday, but looked much better today.
"Ms. Yuan!" the old man called out in a strong voice, "I've come here today specifically to express my gratitude!"
Yuan Bao quickly went to greet him, saying, "You're too kind. Your health is important. Please come inside and have a seat."
The middle-aged man handed over an elegantly packaged gift box: "My father insisted on being discharged from the hospital this morning, saying he wanted to come in person to express his gratitude. This is our company's latest portable electrocardiogram monitor; it's just a small token of our appreciation."
Bao Guo's eyes lit up: "This is great! We were just planning to equip our store with first-aid equipment."
The old man looked around, then suddenly slammed his hand on the table and exclaimed in admiration, "Brilliant! The design of this traditional Chinese medicine clinic is both classically elegant and modernly stylistically sound. Young lady, I see your medical skills are quite remarkable. Would you consider collaborating with our medical group?"
Fearing that the old man had too high expectations, Yuan Bao hurriedly said, "Grandpa, cooperation should be possible, but there is one issue I need to explain first."
Hearing Yuan Bao's expression, the old man asked, "What's the problem? Tell me..."
"Sir, it's like this, I learned my traditional Chinese medicine skills by reading ancient books on my own. I didn't take any exams, and I don't have a medical license..."
