Chapter 636: District Party Secretary’s condition
Noon.
Wang Anshi’s apartment.
The lunch was ready, and Madam Yan and Wang Yuling placed the dishes on the table.
"Xiao Dong, let’s eat together." Madam Yan said.
Dong Xuebing quickly replied. "No, thank you. I had lunch before I came."
Wang Yuling set the table and said. "Have some. I had made the tomato with fried eggs. Try some."
Wang Anshi did not invite Dong Xuebing and drank his tea on the sofa.
Dong Xuebing had not eaten earlier, and he is hungry. But he still rejected Wang Yuling’s offer politely because he knows Madam Yan and Wang Anshi do not like him. Madam Yan had offered out of courtesy, and he would cross the line if he joined them for lunch. It’s been five to six minutes since he entered the apartment, and he had said what he wanted. He should be leaving as they are about to have lunch. But he did not. He quickly organizes his words in his head.
Madam Yan turns to her husband. "Old Wang, lunch is ready."
"Let me finish my tea first." Wang Anshi rubbed his stomach and seemed to be uncomfortable. "You all eat first."
Wang Yuling got worried. "Uncle, let’s go to the hospital and see what they can do."
Wang Anshi waved his hand and forced a smile. "I am fine."
Madam Yan sighed and started eating. But the food had become tasteless.
Appendicitis is very common, and a simple procedure can fix it. But there will be complications if the patient has diabetes. A simple operation might cost the patient’s life. Madam Yan has been worrying about Wang Anshi’s condition these few days. Taking medication cannot stop the pain. He is the District Party Secretary and is very busy. His condition will affect his work and promotion chances.
The room is quiet.
Dong Xuebing looked at them and interrupted. "Secretary Wang, Madam Yan, I have a solution."
"Oh?" Madam Yan and Wang Anshi looked at Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing continued. "Let me try. Maybe I can cure your illness."
Madam Yan is stunned. "You?"
Wang Yuling is surprised. "Director, you know how to treat illness?"
Dong Xuebing did not care about being modest and repeated the lies he told Xu Yan. "I had learned traditional healing massage from an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor for a long time and can be considered a master now. Chinese massage treatment massages the acupuncture points, and the patient doesn’t need to undergo any operation. This treatment suits Secretary Wang. Oh, don’t look down on traditional Chinese massage. It can stimulate the patient’s immunity and help the body to heal. It is a form of conservative treatment."
Madam Yan looks at Dong Xuebing. "Are you confident?"
Dong Xuebing was about to reply when Wang Anshi interrupted. "Forget it. I am feeling much better compared to a few days ago."
Dong Xuebing said. "But…."
"Uncle." Wang Yuling added. "Let Director Dong try."
Wang Anshi stood up. "Let’s have lunch now."
Dong Xuebing is disappointed and knew Wang Anshi doesn’t believe him. When people mention traditional Chinese medicine, their first impression is older doctors are better. No one will think Dong Xuebing is good at his age. Furthermore, what he said sounds like a conman.
Wang Anshi sat at the dining table and started eating.
Since they didn’t believe him, Dong Xuebing did not stay any longer. "Secretary Wang, I should not disturb you anymore. Wish you a speedy recovery."
