Chapter 21 You are too dumb to teach
"Miss, I think you’re quite pretty. Are you really going to let this quack treat your pretty face?"
Xu Xiangbei suddenly spoke up, showing a pained expression on his face.
"Hmm?"
The girl looked up at Xu Xiangbei with some confusion.
Quack?
This is the expert clinic of the First People’s Hospital, representing the best traditional Chinese medicine level in Jiangcheng, and Xu Xiangbei actually called them quacks?
The little nurse Ding Keke nearby was so angry that she put her hands on her hips, feeling quite repulsed by Xu Xiangbei.
Not only does he lack manners, but he also smokes in public and is arrogant and dismissive!
"Mr. Xu, what’s your opinion?"
President Zhang Fuen raised his head and asked amiably.
Zhang Xuesong and Director Tang also turned to look at Xu Xiangbei, waiting for his answer.
"None of you are laymen. You must know that the most nerve-dense part of the human body is the face. With acupuncture treatment, no matter how advanced the technique, inserting silver needles into the face will inevitably damage the facial nerves, making it difficult for the patient to fully recover."
Xu Xiangbei spoke calmly.
"Nonsense! How can you make wild guesses about my acupuncture technique? I can confidently guarantee, within two courses of treatment, I can cure the patient with minimal side effects, almost imperceptible to the naked eye."
Tang Hao rushed to defend himself.
Zhang Fuen nodded approvingly: "Tang Hao indeed has that capability."
"Ha, a quack is a quack. I’ve already said, using acupuncture to treat facial paralysis will definitely damage the facial nerves, leaving aftereffects. Since there are side effects, why insist on such an imperfect treatment method? Trash is trash and doesn’t deserve to be compared to someone like me who pursues perfection."
Xu Xiangbei snorted with a twitch of his nose.
"Hey, show some respect to Dr. Tang."
Ding Keke was infuriated and shouted with her hands on her waist.
"Little nurse, I know I am a perfect man, and you can’t help but want to chat with me, but you should know, I couldn’t possibly be interested in you because your figure isn’t perfect."
Xu Xiangbei chuckled, "But I can give you a massage to transform you into a devilish figure for a cheap price, not 999, only 99 bucks. Are you interested?"
"Pah, filthy scoundrel!"
Ding Keke’s anger kept escalating, and if it weren’t for President Zhang Fuen, she would’ve long scratched Xu Xiangbei’s face full of blood with her Claws of the Nine Yin White Bone.
The girl here for treatment also frowned slightly, seemingly quite disliking Xu Xiangbei.
"You’re being unreasonable!"
Tang Hao slapped the table, his eyelid twitching with anger, and asked, "Xu Xiangbei, if you’re so capable, why don’t you share your treatment plan, one that can completely cure patients without a trace of aftereffects?"
Xu Xiangbei smiled faintly, "Massage."
Massage?
The moment those words were spoken, Zhang Xuesong and Zhang Fuen looked at each other speechlessly.
As for Tang Hao and Director Tang, they couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
"Xu Xiangbei, are you an idiot? Massaging certain points does indeed help with treating facial paralysis, but at best it can only act as a supplementary method. Wanting to cure facial paralysis solely with massage is nothing but daydreaming!"
Tang Hao sneered.
"Exactly, if you can’t provide a better plan, just admit defeat."
Director Tang laughed heartily.
"Miss, would you be willing to let me massage you for five minutes? Just five minutes and I can make you as pure and lovely as before."
Xu Xiangbei, disregarding Tang Hao and his family, turned with a serious look to the girl, showing what he thought was a charming smile.
"No, thank you."
The girl decisively and promptly refused.
Cure facial paralysis in five minutes?
This is not a joke!
Never heard of anyone curing facial paralysis in just five minutes.
"Hmph, you’re blinded by lust, seeing a pretty girl and wanting to take advantage of her, truly despicable!"
Ding Keke pouted and muttered.
"Hey, don’t speak with that figure!"
Xu Xiangbei shot Ding Keke an annoyed glare.
"Miss, I am President Zhang Fuen from the First People’s Hospital. I hope you could give Mr. Xu a chance to massage you and see the effects, and if it’s not satisfactory, you can then have Dr. Tang treat you. Rest assured, we are here, he won’t dare cause any trouble."
Zhang Fuen adjusted his glasses and pleaded with a smile for Xu Xiangbei.
"Fine."
The girl hesitated for a moment but finally agreed reluctantly.
"I’ll start timing now. Instead of five minutes, I’ll give you ten minutes to prove yourself!"
Tang Hao adjusted his watch, looking ready for a show.
Xu Xiangbei took disposable gloves from the desk, put them on, and began massaging the girl.
"Exhale, inhale..."
Xu Xiangbei secretly gathered strength, channeling inner strength to his palms, massaging and pressing points like Jiache, Forehead, Sibai, Yuchon, Yangbai, Yingxiang, Xiaguan, Dichang, and Queliao.
"Hmm."
The girl softly hummed, initially feeling some stinging, but soon a warm flow surged through her face, a comfortable, tingling sensation.
Zhang Fuen and Zhang Xuesong looked up for a careful observation, smiling slightly.
Judging solely from the massage technique, Xu Xiangbei’s skills are proficient and impeccable, though the effectiveness is yet to be known.
Five minutes flew by.
The others felt like they had barely blinked when Xu Xiangbei withdrew his inner strength, exhaling an impure breath, with a smile on his face: "Miss, your condition is already cured. Come, see for yourself."
Xu Xiangbei handed a mirror to the girl.
"I, I’m not smiling..."
The girl’s face blushed, instinctively wanting to refuse upon hearing Xu Xiangbei’s words. But under his insistence, she gradually gathered the courage to pinch her left cheek, shocked to feel no numbness or stiffness. She was delighted in her heart, attempting to grin.
The smile blossomed like a flower, making one feel like basking in spring winds.
"Oh my gosh, it’s really healed!"
Ding Keke exclaimed, her eyes wide and tongue-tied: "How is this possible? It’s cured in just five minutes!"
"Impossible, how did this kid do it?"
Director Tang’s pudgy face turned into a bitter melon.
"This doesn’t fit scientific logic at all, did I actually lose?"
Tang Hao was dumbfounded, failing to react for a long while, just staring intently at the female patient, as if his soul had been whisked away.
"You all must be curious about how I did this, right?"
Xu Xiangbei tossed the gloves into the trash, clapping his hands: "Even if I told you, you couldn’t learn it because the lot of you have dull aptitudes, unable to support the unworthy."
"..."
Director Tang, Tang Hao, Zhang Xuesong, and Zhang Fuen all stiffened, too depressed to speak.
"Mr. Xu, your massage technique is an incredibly valuable medical achievement. If it could be promoted, it would surely benefit all of humanity. As the saying goes, a doctor’s heart is benevolent, I hope you can give it some serious consideration."
Zhang Fuen stood up, respectfully bowed to Xu Xiangbei, eyes full of fervent sincerity.
Wow!
The likes of Tang Hao, Director Tang, Zhang Xuesong, and Ding Keke were all stunned.
A leading figure in the traditional Chinese medicine field, President Zhang Fuen, actually bowed to Xu Xiangbei, pleading for him to promote the massage technique?
"Not to hide it from you, my massage technique isn’t so rare, it merely requires the flow of qi, using inner strength to nourish facial nerves. Without exceptional talent and painstaking practice of over ten years, it’s impossible to reach my level."
Forced by circumstances, Xu Xiangbei explained honestly: "In other words, not everyone can be as handsome and smart as I am, understand?"
