Chapter 2318: 2239 Everyone Is Sick (Alliance Leader Bread Tree Bonus Chapter 4)

Looking at Yun Ze's appearance, Su Yun smiled and asked, "May I ask your surname?"

Yun Ze was stunned. Weren't we just introduced? Is this testing my patience? Why do Song Ying and his brothers value such a clueless young man so much?

Immediately, Yun Ze saw Su Yun smilingly looking at his own secretary. It turned out he wasn't asking Yun Ze, but asking his secretary.

Young man, lust confounds the mind, especially after a drink—he has no idea how to restrain himself.

He thought, his opinion of Su Yun and little Zheng Boss had dropped even further.

Yun Ze's secretary covered her mouth and laughed lightly, her brows and eyes seeming to speak, charming and lovely.

"You haven't had too much to drink, have you?" Lin Yuan said unhappily.

"Pfft, this little alcohol can't get me drunk—what a joke. I'm saying, doesn't sitting like that tire you out? Relax a bit; this posture is bad for your body." Su Yun asked.

Yun Ze's secretary was taken aback. What kind of chatting style is this? Many people have tried to hit on me, but this handsome young guy doesn't follow the usual routine.

"Looking at your complexion, are you suffering from cold deficiency?" Su Yun asked pretentiously.

"Most girls have the problem of being cold-deficient, right?" Yun Ze's secretary felt surprised inside but kept calm, saying so.

"Su Yun, stop messing around." Zheng Ren put an end to Su Yun's teasing, speaking seriously: "Miss, please don't take it to heart."

"How am I messing around? I just noticed she was ill and gave a reminder—what's wrong with that?" Su Yun laughed, knowing the boss had figured it out, and offered an explanation.

"Her condition isn't serious; his is the serious one." Zheng Ren said.

One sentence with two 'he's—no one knows what it means, including Su Yun.

Yun Ze was slightly angry—teasing his secretary to his face, even pointing at her nose and saying she's sick—this is too rude.

Song Ying felt a stir in his heart and asked, "Zheng Lao Ban, what do you mean..."

"Director Yun, has your vision been dropping sharply lately?" Zheng Ren asked.

"..." Yun Ze was stunned this time.

Many legends surged into his mind.

Legend has it that this Zheng Lao Ban once treated a geomancer and solved the problem of a demon fetus; the South Side spreads word of his great skill. Unexpectedly, although he looks young, he truly is capable.

Fortunately, I haven't offended him; Yun Ze quickly set aside his earlier displeasure and said solemnly, "Zheng Lao Ban, that's exactly right—I've recently seen a fog before my eyes when looking at things, and I can't see clearly at all."

"Hmm, you're taking vitamins, right? Stop if you should." Zheng Ren said.

"Vitamins?" Yun Ze asked in surprise.

"To be precise, it's vitamin B3; you have high blood lipids, correct?" Zheng Ren asked with a smile.

Su Yun blinked, stared at Zheng Ren, and asked, "How do you know?"

"His eyes show changes in the macular area; upon close inspection you can see it—I estimate it's cystic macular degeneration." Zheng Ren smiled and explained.

For Zheng Ren, deducing this from the Big Pig Trotter's System Panel is simple. Yet saying this out loud shocked Su Yun and the others immensely.

Fortunately, Su Yun and the others were already used to it, so they didn't find it particularly surprising.

Su Yun narrowed his eyes to a slit, fixed his gaze on Yun Ze, carefully examining his macular area.

The macular region lies at the center of the retina, the most sensitive area for vision; the cone cells responsible for vision and color perception are distributed there. Hence any lesion affecting the macular region will cause a noticeable decline in central vision, dimming of perceived colors, distortion, and so on.

If cystic macular degeneration occurs, vision will surely drop sharply. Combined with what the boss previously said, Su Yun now has a full understanding of Yun Ze's problem.

Chang Yue paid no attention to it; she merely glanced at Yun Ze, then continued eating and drinking. Xie Yiren didn't even look, her face slightly flushed as she ate happily.

Lin Yuan, however, looked earnestly at Yun Ze and asked, "Zheng Lao Ban, you mean that because the patient has high blood lipids, they should take vitamin B3 orally to assist in improving the lipid condition, thereby lowering the risk of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases, right?"

"Hmm, that's about right." Zheng Ren said.

"Vitamin B3 is also called niacin; it can affect the hematopoietic process, promote iron absorption and blood cell generation; maintain normal skin function and secretion of digestive glands; increase excitability of the central nervous system and the cardiovascular, reticuloendothelial, and endocrine functions. There are prescription and non-prescription drugs that can help..." Lin Yuan said.

"After all that talk, still missing the point—niacin may inhibit the breakdown of apolipoprotein A1, which the body uses to produce high-density lipoprotein. It may increase HDL by 20%–40%."

"Niacin may also help lower LDL, cholesterol levels, and reduce triglycerides. Generally speaking, the higher the HDL the better, the lower the LDL the better, so niacin is almost becoming a miracle drug in the United States." Su Yun said.

Yun Ze had already gotten lost in the chatter, and hurriedly said, "Wait a moment, wait a moment, Zheng Lao Ban."

"Hmm?"

"You mean I took the wrong medicine and ruined my eyes?" Yun Ze asked.

Saying that sounded like scolding someone, but since it concerned his vision and ability to see things, Yun Ze had no time to worry about other matters.

His mind was full of Zheng Lao Ban curing Master Song and curing Master Yan's heavenly punishment. Could this be his own opportunity?

"Hmm, that can be understood that way." Zheng Ren laughed and asked, "What medicines have you been taking lately?"

Yun Ze quickly had his secretary bring the medicine for Zheng Lao Ban to see. The secretary hurriedly stood up, took out a transparent plastic packet of medicine from her bag, and handed it to Zheng Ren.

In her haste, she didn't have time to maintain her composure.

"Exactly, walking like that is correct. Holding the pelvis tilted forward for too long is quite bad for the body." Su Yun looked at the female secretary's walking posture and directly blurted out.

Song Ying was also quite helpless.

This Doctor Su truly must not be offended—just because of Yun Ze's glance and a few expressions, he started spraying the secretary.

"Isn't a front‑protruding, rear‑curvy figure nice? Anyway, I find Yun Ze's secretary quite pleasing to the eye."

But perhaps there's some truth to it after all; Song Ying isn't used to charging forward and getting rebutted, so he looked at Zheng Lao Ban with a smiling, squinting gaze.

Zheng Ren picked up the medicine bag and looked at the contents. There were many medicines; some he recognized at a glance, others were unfamiliar to him.

Niacin, that is vitamin B3, he soon spotted this medicine.

"Is this the after‑dinner medicine? How many times a day should one take it?" Zheng Ren pointed at the vitamin B3 on the plastic bag and asked.

"Hmm, this is the after‑dinner medicine. Vitamin B3, three times a day, taken strictly according to the instructions." Yun Ze's secretary said.

"How long have you been taking it?" Zheng Ren asked.

"About half a year."
