331 Getting Rich
Just like that, Qin Xi was forced to take in a big shot as her disciple.
Since she had already accepted him, she thought that when she had time, she would teach him the Five Elements Acupuncture Technique as well. Someone like Gao Huiren would be able to master it very quickly.
From the beginning to the end, Qin Xi had never thought of monopolizing the acupuncture technique. She felt that the reason why Chinese medicine declined was not only because of the passage of time, but also because it was too exclusive.
Now, Chinese medicine had plummeted to the point where it was regarded as ‘pseudoscience’ and ‘witchcraft’. On the other hand, not only did Western medicine occupy the dominant position, but every ordinary doctor could become an ‘expert’ after going abroad for a year. This kind of pathological negativity almost crushed the ancient culture.
This was not only a tragedy for Chinese medicine, but also for the countrymen.
After thinking about it, Qin Xi was more determined to pass down the acupuncture technique.
Gao Huiren did not know what was in store for him. Instead, he talked about Old Master Qi.
“By the way, Shifu, I have a patient. He has Ankylosing Spondylitis, which has led to lesions. If he isn’t treated in time, I’m afraid he can only have his legs amputated. This patient really wants to save his legs. Even if he can’t be cured, he wants to at least look like a normal person. Look…”
“Ankylosing Spondylitis?” Qin Xi’s eyes flashed. “Are you talking about Old Master Qi, the richest man in Luoping City?”
Gao Huiren was surprised. “Shifu, do you know this person?”
Qin Xi told him about the day she went to the Rising Sun Hotel. “But before I left, I reminded them out of kindness. Perhaps they didn’t take me seriously because I’m a nobody.”
Gao Huiren nodded and said, “It’s like this. Previously, they came to look for me, but if I perform the surgery, the success rate is less than 30%. Moreover, I can’t cure him. I can only try to see if I can save his legs. Actually, doing this kind of surgery is dangerous and not worth it, so I want to ask you if there’s a better way to treat him.”
“Old Master Qi also said that as long as anyone can save his legs, the person will be paid 60% of the Qi family’s assets.”
Even someone as powerful as Qin Xi couldn’t help but widen her eyes. What did 60% of the Qi family’s assets mean?
From the information Xia Zhenguo had summarized for her, 60% of the richest man’s assets should be more than 100 million yuan!
If she could be that rich, the two projects she had been planning could be brought forward.
At the thought of this, she smiled faintly and said, “Go back and tell Old Master Qi that as long as he is willing to give out 80% of his assets as a reward, I can make him stand up again.”
Gao Huiren gasped and said in shock, “Shifu, can you really treat his legs?”
“Of course. What’s so difficult about that?”
Qin Xi smiled and raised her eyebrows. She pointed at Liu Dequan, who was in the middle of seeing a patient, and said, “Not only me, but with Grandpa Liu’s ability, he can also easily keep Old Master Qi’s legs.”
Gao Huiren widened his eyes and said in surprise, “Is he also a master of Chinese medicine? But… I don’t think I’ve seen him before!”
