Chapter 336: Saving a Life

"I am a Doctor, I am a physician!" An Yinan shouted.

If the person lying on the ground did not receive timely treatment, they would surely die.

Upon hearing "Doctor," everyone hurriedly cleared a space.

It was just that An Yinan was too young, so several people who knew her blocked her path one after another.

"Move aside! If he doesn't get treatment now, he is going to die. Can you take responsibility for that?" An Yinan asked sternly.

The person on the ground was a young man, his face currently a ghastly blue.

He was already on the verge of suffocating to death.

"Move aside." An old gentleman walked out from the courtyard, and upon seeing the situation, he spoke up immediately.

Those elderly men and women who had been blocking the way actually, and quite rarely, cleared a path.

"Young lady, I'm sorry to trouble you," the old gentleman said.

An Yinan nodded, and under the cover of her schoolbag, she took out her Silver Needle.

When traveling away from home, she kept Silver Needle in her space; unless a situation absolutely required the Golden Needle, she would rarely bring her Golden Needle out.

After all, it was too iconic.

An Yinan first pried open the young man's eyes; they were already starting to roll back.

She first used the Silver Needle to prick several acupoints, then she found a bottle of bronchodilator and stuffed it directly into the young man's mouth.

Not until his breathing was no longer so labored did she take the medicine out and stuff it directly back into her backpack.

She then used the Silver Needle to prick a few more acupoints, manipulating them with her technique.

The young man's breathing finally steadied.

An Yinan slumped onto the ground; if she had been even a moment later, just a tiny bit, a living person would have been gone.

"Thank you!" The old man, who had been strong just a moment ago, bowed to thank An Yinan.

An Yinan felt her legs go a bit weak; she slowly stood up and moved out of the way.

"You don't have to do this!" An Yinan said.

At this moment, the man who had initially claimed it was a scam also came to his senses; he said with a flushed face, "I really thought he was faking it; I didn't expect he was actually sick."

"Doctor, thank you."

If not for An Yinan, he certainly wouldn't have been able to escape this trouble today.

An Yinan shook her head, "He is fine now. He has asthma, and it is easier for him to have an attack in this season."

"Pay more attention to exercise in the future, light exercise!"

The young man lying on the ground woke up; he looked around blankly, and only when he saw his grandfather did he hurriedly get up.

"Grandfather, I had another attack." He lowered his head, feeling miserable inside.

His grandfather was so old, yet still had to take care of him and worry about his attacks at all times; he was too unfilial.

The old man patted his head, "First, thank your benefactor."

The young man hurriedly turned around and looked at An Yinan in disbelief; this person was his benefactor?

Impossible, were they not about the same age?

Or perhaps she was even younger than him!

"What are you dazed for?" the old man said.

An Yinan waved her hand, "No need. Any doctor would have stepped in if they saw it."

"I still have things to do, so I'll be going." She hadn't looked at the shop yet, nor had she found the factory, and half the day had already passed.

She only had a one-week vacation; she didn't know when she would be able to come back next time!

"Wait!" the old gentleman said.

"Kang Jian, say thank you," the old gentleman said to his grandson.

"Doctor, thank you." Kang Jian had regained his composure; just now he had only been surprised by the doctor's youth, with no intention of being disrespectful.

"Come into the house and sit for a while. I see you have matters to attend to; perhaps I can help a little," the old gentleman suggested.

An Yinan thought for a moment, "Alright."

She did indeed need a local to act as a guide; the language was a major hurdle.

Although she could understand the local dialect, she could not speak it.

And the locals did not really understand Mandarin.

"Sir, could I also beg for a cup of tea?" that man said.

He was grateful to An Yinan; otherwise, he would have had to bear the burden of a human life.

Although it had nothing to do with him, the person had collapsed at his feet, so even if it had nothing to do with him, it became something.

Moreover, this doctor was young and possessed superb medical skills; she would surely achieve something great in the future, so it was good to make contact early and build some goodwill.

"If you don't mind, come into the courtyard," the old man said, gesturing for them to enter.

An Yinan and the man entered the courtyard together.

The old man thanked the neighbors before returning to the courtyard himself.

"Is Oolong tea alright?" the old man asked.

The people here were extremely fond of tea, and their tea was only served to friends.

"I will follow the host's lead!" An Yinan smiled and sat down opposite the old man.

The old man nodded, "Doctor, is this your first time in Yangcheng?"

Actually, it was not; in her past life, she had been here many times, traveling all over the country to collect fabrics.

But in this life, it was indeed her first time.

"Yes," she did not hide it.

"Seeing your anxious expression just now, is there some urgent matter?"

An Yinan thought for a moment, "To be honest with you, I came to Yangcheng this time to look at shops and factories."

"Oh? What kind of shops?" The old man's movements in brewing tea were as smooth as flowing water, as if he had done it ten thousand times and had it memorized by heart.

"Clothing!"

"To be precise, clothing for young women." She did not hide it.

She had saved a life and would not hold it over them for favors, but there was nothing wrong with making things convenient.

"That is easy to handle; I will have Kang Jian run around with you in a while. He speaks Mandarin and can translate for you." The old man made the final decision.

"A factory?" The man spoke up at this moment.

An Yinan nodded, then looked at him.

He sighed, "I do happen to have a small factory!"

"But the scale is not large, totaling five lines."

"Business is not good."

He had come over this time specifically to deal with the factory, which was why he had been in such a rush and had not seen Kang Jian; when Kang Jian collapsed, he had not managed to catch him in time.

"Oh?" An Yinan remained calm, but she already had an idea in her mind.

"You two chat; I will go with Kang Jian to thank the neighbors for their help." The old man knew they needed to talk about the factory, so he pulled his grandson out directly to give the two of them space to discuss business.

The two of them naturally understood the old man's intention and did not stop him.

An Yinan thought for a moment and decided to respect his own wishes first, "How do you intend to settle your factory?"

She asked very directly, and her time was tight, so she did not have much time for pleasantries.

Besides, if it did not work out here, she would go look elsewhere.

If it really came to it, she would just rent one line specifically to make the clothes for her own shop.

That way, they would not have to worry about the source of their goods.

"Sell it, or merge the capital," the man said.

He had been thinking about it for a long time; if things continued this way, the factory would inevitably collapse, or else it would be forced to let those big factories drive down prices and swallow it up.

Then what would happen to the employees who followed him?

And he was also reluctant to part with this factory!

"What is the method for selling? What is the method for a joint venture?" An Yinan took a sip of tea.

After putting down her teacup, she rested her hands on her legs; her body looked relaxed, but she was sitting very straight.

Unlike when she was treating patients and saving lives, at this moment, there was a sense of pressure about her.

It was as if she were someone who had been immersed in the business world for many years.

Yet, looking at her age, she seemed to be only in her twenties?
