Reborn back to the day I descended the mountain, Miss Ji, I will take responsibility for you!

The next day, after Ye Chen finished practicing his boxing in the courtyard, he had breakfast with Ji Ruoyu.

After dropping Ji Ruoyu off at the company, the two remained silent the entire way.

When they arrived at the company, Ji Ruoyu was about to get out of the car when Ye Chen said, "I'm taking the day off today. I have some things to do."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu nodded, said nothing more, and went straight upstairs.

Upon seeing this, Ye Chen's eyes flickered for a moment before he drove away.

The car soon stopped in front of Tonghetang, and Ye Chen had just stepped inside.

Hua Jinfang, who was instructing his apprentice at the counter to identify herbs and their properties, sensed something.

Turning around and seeing Ye Chen, Hua Jinfang quickly ran up to Ye Chen and said, "Young Master Ye, what brings you here?"

Ye Chen came this time to prepare some medicinal herbs for the future opening of a beauty salon.

After briefly explaining his purpose, Hua Jinfang's expression was priceless.

A renowned physician, lacking a medical license, plans to open a beauty salon as a temporary measure.

If this gets out, people will probably laugh their heads off.

However, Ye Chen didn't care about this, since others didn't know about his reputation.

Hua Jinfang quickly said, "Mr. Ye, if you need a medical license, I can get one for you."

Just kidding, letting Ye Chen run a beauty salon would be a complete waste of his medical skills.

Moreover, Hua Jinfang is a renowned physician in Hubei Province and also serves as the honorary chairman of the Chinese Medicine Association.

Getting a medical license is a piece of cake.

Ye Chen waved his hand and said, "There's no rush. I actually have some other plans for setting up this beauty salon."

It should be noted that the Ji family owns a cosmetics company. If Ye Chen can manage the beauty salon business well...

Then the Ji family's products will naturally soar to new heights, and their later collaborations with the Zhao family will go much more smoothly.

Hearing Ye Chen's words, Hua Jinfang didn't dare to persuade him any further, but he was still somewhat disappointed.

After all, if Ye Chen opened a clinic, he might be able to become an apprentice and do odd jobs, learning a few tricks.

If he were to open a beauty salon, it wouldn't be convenient for him to go there, so Hua Jinfang began to prepare the medicinal herbs according to Ye Chen's requirements.

As a master of traditional Chinese medicine, Ye Chen didn't need to weigh the medicines; he would simply grab whatever amount of Hua Jin Fang the prescription needed.

The apprentice standing to the side weighed the coins perfectly, and seeing Hua Jinfang's skill, the apprentice was filled with admiration.

Ye Chen nodded slightly, clearly approving of Hua Jinfang's move.

While preparing the medicine, Ye Chen suddenly remembered something and said, "Dr. Hua, you are quite familiar with Wu City."

"I'd like to ask if there are any suitable store locations, as the location of a beauty salon is very important."

Upon hearing this, Hua Jinfang pondered for a moment and then said, "If you put it that way, there really is a suitable one."

"That restaurant is a general medical practice, and it also does some slimming and beauty-related treatments. It has all the necessary permits and its reputation is just right."

"Young Master Ye, if you take it over and make some minor modifications, it could be a good fit, combining medicine and cosmetic procedures."

Ye Chen's eyes lit up upon hearing this. Hua Jinfang's words had enlightened him; there was no need to limit himself to clinics or beauty salons.

If there is enough space, it is entirely possible to carry out business on both sides at the same time, which would also help the Ji family open up a new path.

Compared to the pharmaceutical industry, the cosmetics industry has limited profits and prospects, given the size of the domestic cosmetics market.

All the cosmetics on my head are imported, not because domestic cosmetics are less effective than foreign ones.

In addition to efficacy, brand effect and related promotion are also very important for cosmetics.

However, domestic companies generally do a poor job in this area; either their marketing is good, but their products are not.

Either the product is good but the marketing is poor, or Western cosmetics are fast-acting, highly addictive, and have a high repurchase rate.

Most domestically produced traditional Chinese medicine cosmetics have a relatively slow but effective effect.

Generally, the problem can be solved after one or two courses of treatment, so the repurchase rate will not be high, and the profit will naturally be limited.

But that's a story for later. Ye Chen asked, "Where is that shop?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Jinfang hesitated for a moment and said, "That boss has a rather eccentric temper, even though he wants to take over the shop."

"But if you can't get past his hurdle, I'm afraid he won't sell the shop to you."

Ye Chen smiled slightly upon hearing this and said, "There aren't many things in this world that can stump me. Let's go and lead the way."

Hua Jinfang nodded and said, "Alright, Young Master Ye, please come with me."

……

Ye Chen drove, and following Hua Jinfang's directions, they turned two streets and arrived at their destination.

Although it lacks the bustling atmosphere of the main street, it is still a place with a constant flow of people.

However, judging from the clothing of the pedestrians on the street and the condition of the shops on both sides.

Ye Chen had a basic understanding of the situation here.

The surrounding area consists of several resettlement communities, and the residents are mostly from other places, making it a rather mixed community.

A large number of elderly people sit on the street, basking in the sun and chatting.

There shouldn't be a shortage of customers here, but the profit margin is probably not very high.

After parking the car, Hua Jinfang led Ye Chen to the middle street, where they soon saw a two-story shop.

The sign for Guoan Medical Clinic hangs at the entrance, and the second floor offers services such as massage, weight loss, acupuncture, and mole removal.

According to the requirements, it does indeed meet Ye Chen's requirements, but the clinic looks a bit old.

The exterior walls are yellowed, and several tiles have fallen off. The signboard lights are also flickering.

However, the clinic was very lively, even bustling with people, including the elderly and children.

Ye Chen also saw several homeless people queuing up in the line.

"This clinic seems to be doing good business, so why is the owner selling the premises?"

In response to Ye Chen's question, Hua Jinfang sighed and said, "It's because of the rules of this clinic."

Ye Chen was even more puzzled, when Hua Jinfang pointed to a sign hanging by the door.

It reads: "Practicing medicine to help the world, treating the sick and saving lives, half price for the elderly and children, free for the extremely poor and disabled."

Looking at this rule, Ye Chen immediately understood why there were so many people.

This isn't running a clinic; it's doing charity work.

Hua Jinfang, with Ye Chen in tow, was just about to walk inside.

An older woman standing nearby shouted, "What are you doing? What are you doing? Even if you're old, you can't cut in line!"

People around looked over when they saw this, and several people chimed in, "Queuing for medical treatment is the rule, and even the elderly shouldn't break the rules."

Hua Jinfang gave a wry smile and called out to the inside, "Yue Rou, Grandpa Hua is here."

There was a slight commotion inside the clinic as a female nurse in a white coat ran to the door.

Even though she was wearing a mask, her eyes were very bright and expressive.

Moreover, the white coat gives it a sense of purity and holiness.

However, the female nurse had an exceptionally hot figure, creating a strong contrast between her temperament and physique.

The moment he stepped out, the eyes of more than a dozen men involuntarily turned to him.

Ye Chen instantly understood that the good business here was probably partly due to this female nurse.

Upon seeing Hua Jinfang, the nurse quickly said, "Grandpa Hua, what brings you here? Please come in."

Hua Jinfang said with a smile, "I have brought a distinguished guest with me today. Is your grandfather here?"

The nurse looked puzzled, but nodded nonetheless and said, "Grandpa is seeing patients inside. Is this the distinguished guest you mentioned?"

As she spoke, the nurse Yue Rou's gaze fell on Ye Chen.

Hua Jinfang nodded and said, "That's right, he has some things to discuss with your grandfather."

Upon hearing this, Yue Rou said helplessly, "Grandpa Hua, you know that my grandfather won't care about anything else until he finishes seeing his patients."

Hua Jinfang smiled wryly upon hearing this, clearly aware of that person's personality, which had remained unchanged over the years.

This clinic has never closed since it opened, and on several occasions, Yue Rou's grandfather, Yue Mingtang, himself fell ill.

Yet he still insisted on seeing patients every day, only going to rest after seeing all one hundred patients.

"Young Master Ye, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to wait a while."

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "It's alright. If you don't mind, may I take a look around inside?"

Yue Rou glanced at Ye Chen, thought for a moment, and nodded, saying, "Okay, but don't touch anything or disturb my grandfather."

Ye Chen nodded, and Hua Jin then led Ye Chen around the clinic.

The entire first floor of the clinic consists of twelve huge medicine cabinets, each containing hundreds of kinds of medicinal herbs.

In total, this clinic has nearly two thousand kinds of medicinal herbs, which is comparable to the storage capacity of a large traditional Chinese medicine clinic.

This surprised Ye Chen. Soon he arrived on the second floor, where some patients were receiving massage and acupuncture.

There are about thirty beds in total, and each bed is occupied.

After taking a stroll around, I returned to the first floor and saw an elderly man, about the same age as Hua Jinfang, administering acupuncture.

Ye Chen glanced at the body and immediately recognized that the person lying there was suffering from lumbar muscle strain, the kind caused by heavy physical labor.

For this condition, doctors usually treat it with massage combined with acupuncture.

Seeing that the other party had finished inserting the needle, Ye Chen frowned. The other party had omitted one needle, and the effect would be much worse without it.

Without hesitation, Ye Chen raised his hand, flicked his finger, and a silver needle flew out, landing on an acupoint.

Yue Rou, who had been assisting him, was shocked to see this. She looked up at Ye Chen and glared angrily, saying, "What are you doing!"
