Du Yujia was determined to win Zhu Bufan over to her side, to aid her in reclaiming her place in the world. However, before proceeding, she had to thoroughly ascertain Bufan's capabilities, and the best way to do so was to confirm with Du Yujiao!
Previously, hadn't Yujiao bought some medicine from Bufan? The day after she got the medication, Zhan Feiyu's illness was confirmed to be completely cured. To say that there was no connection would simply be impossible. Yujia made up her mind and excused herself to the restroom as a pretext to retreat temporarily.
She dialed Yujiao's phone number.
"Yujia, you finally remembered me. How did it go today with Zhu Bufan? Did you manage to… catch that man?" Du Yujiao originally wanted to say "that boy", but she changed her wording to "man" at the last moment - calling him a "boy" seemed too trivial.
Although Zhu Bufan was just a boy, if he was to get close to Du Yujia, he had to be regarded as a man to make it seem more harmonious.
"Enough, sister. I appreciate your kindness, but let's leave this boy out of it. I'm not interested in someone so green, I…"
"What kind of person are you interested in then?" Du Yujiao asked with interest, "Go on, tell me which man has caught your eye. I'll go and matchmake for you!"
"Enough!" Du Yujia abruptly cut Yujiao off, solemnly saying, "Yujia, I need to ask you something. Was it really Zhu Bufan who cured Little Fish's illness?"
"This…" Du Yujiao was momentarily at a loss for words. After hesitating for a while, she finally gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, Little Fish was indeed cured by Zhu Bufan. But please don't spread this around. We had a fallout with Zhu Bufan back then, and I don't want Little Fish to get too close to him!"
"Uh... alright, I understand, sister." Du Yujia nodded, bid a quick farewell, and hung up the phone.
Yujiao's mood was something she could understand. If Zhan Feiyu, that girl, knew that her illness was cured by Zhu Bufan, she would certainly be deeply grateful, possibly even to the point of devoting herself to him. But how could Bufan, a boy of humble origin and low status, ever be a match for Zhan Feiyu?
Du Yujiao's mind was indeed sharp!
When Yujia returned to her seat, her gaze towards Zhu Bufan also carried a hint of sympathy. This poor boy, possessing excellent medical skills yet buried by others, surely his mood couldn't be much better than her own?
Du Yujia thought too much. Today, Zhu Bufan had made a windfall, earning tens of thousands of yuan and was in high spirits, especially since Yujiao had given him a cushy job of accompanying and entertaining her. Just accompanying a beautiful woman shopping could earn him money, how could that not excite anyone?
"Zhu Bufan, how about this. Let's start a small clinic first, then I'll go find some clients for you. You help people with their illnesses, and after earning money, we split it evenly. How about that?"
Bufan did not rush to nod in agreement but asked indifferently, "What kind of people are you bringing? If it's just patients with colds or fevers, there's hardly any money to be made, and splitting it wouldn't make much sense!"
"Don't worry about that, the patients I've found for you are all suffering from difficult and complicated diseases, and they are all wealthy. As long as you can cure them, money is not a problem!" Du Yujia finished this sentence and suddenly slapped her forehead in realization: "Right, I have a patient here right now!"
"Hmm, really?" Zhu Bufan furrowed his brows, suddenly intrigued.
"Yes, this person is one of my former bosses, who retired several years ago. He retired because of a strange disease. Over the years, he has visited hospitals all over the country but hasn't been able to cure his disease, on the contrary, his condition has gotten worse day by day. It's probably very dangerous for him now."
Du Yujia herself wasn't very sure about the patient's exact condition, as the disease was indeed bizarre. There was nothing wrong with his entire body, except for a horrific large sore that developed on the inner side of his thigh, constantly oozing pus, and the wound was getting bigger by the day.
Being a woman, it was inconvenient for Du Yujia to examine the disease site on the inner thigh of a man. Therefore, she couldn't say much about the specifics of the condition, but based on deduction, the disease was definitely terrifying and nauseating. Most importantly, it was fatal.
If he doesn't receive timely treatment, this old man might not live for many more days!
After hearing Du Yujia's account, Zhu Bufan frowned again and continued to inquire: "What did the hospital say when he went there? Logically speaking, it's just a malignant sore. Although it's severe, it shouldn't be beyond treatment, right?"
"It's no use, no use!" Du Yujia immediately waved her hands and said, "The hospital examined him and said it was just a toxic sore, but many treatments weren't effective. Later, the hospital even performed surgery to completely remove the diseased area..."
"Still not working?" Although Du Yujia didn't finish her sentence, Zhu Bufan had already guessed the outcome.
"Yes, completely removing the diseased area still didn't work. The doctors suggested amputation, but my friend himself asserted that even amputation would be useless and refused it."
"Alright," Zhu Bufan decisively stood up and said, "Let's go and see him first. If it is a disease, there is a solution; otherwise, if this thing isn't actually a disease, then we'll have to think of another way."
"Not a disease?" Du Yujia was utterly confused by what Zhu Bufan said, "My friend is critically ill and barely hanging on, and you dare say it's not a disease? Are you blind!"
As they approached the car, Du Yujia suddenly remembered something and immediately grabbed Zhu Bufan, whispering quietly: "Zhu Bufan, when we get there, don't rush to tell Mr. Zhou that you are a doctor. Just say you are my boyfriend, visiting to check on his condition, and then mention that you coincidentally have a family secret remedy that can cure his disease!"
"Is that really necessary?" Zhu Bufan pursed his lips.
Du Yujia immediately explained: "This isn't making things complicated, it's a strategy. Mr. Zhou has dealt with so many doctors over the years, and none of them could cure his disease. He has already lost faith in doctors. If you say you're a doctor, he'll probably kick you out immediately!"
"That makes some sense." Zhu Bufan nodded and said, "Alright, then we'll do as you suggest. I'll follow your lead. I'm fine with treating the illness, but when it comes to social interactions, I'll need a lot of guidance from you, Sister Yujia!"
"Sure thing, as long as you've really got the skills, I guarantee I can help you make a fortune. But if you're incompetent, no matter how persuasive I am, it'll all be in vain!" Du Yujia said these words with earnest concern.
