Chapter 407: The Special Prize
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The waiter took Tang Beibei’s special prize ticket to the store manager, who was a bald man in his forties.
He brought two roses to Tang Beibei’s table and saw that the winner was a young girl. He first thanked her for eating at the restaurant and then congratulated her for winning the prize.
“Ma’am, how should I address you?”
“My surname is Tang.”
“Miss Tang, this rose is for you.” The store manager said with a smile. Tang Beibei was about to accept the rose when she noticed Jiang Jingchen’s unhappily raised eyebrows.
Her desire to live took over. She quickly waved her hand and said, “Keep the
rose. As for the special prize…”
“This is your special prize.”
The manager handed her a menu with his phone number and a date written on
it.
“Miss Tang, give this menu to my staff the next time you eat here. They will know that it’s a free meal.”
“Thank you, manager. I wish you a prosperous business.”
“Thank you.” The manager was very happy too and turned to leave.
But Tang Beibei said, “Please wait a moment, manager.”
“Is there something else?”
Tang Beibei asked, “Manager, have you been to the hospital recently?”
“No, why would I go to the hospital?”
“Manager, do you mind if I take your pulse?” The manager was puzzled, but he still gave Tang Beibei’s his wrist.
Tang Beibei put her hand on his wrist. After a few seconds of silence, she said, “Manager, if you have time tomorrow, go to the hospital for a check-up.” “Miss Tang, what do you mean? Why do I need a medical check-up?
Tang Beibei replied softly, “Have you been suffering from insomnia, headaches, backaches, and chest tightness lately? And you find it a little difficult to go to the toilet?”
“How did you know?”
The manager wore a strange expression as he said, “It’s normal for me to feel tired after working all day. At my age, those aren’t really problems. Why would I waste money on a medical check-up?”
“Are you a doctor?”
“No.”
“Then how did you know my condition?”
“I’m studying medicine now. Your face looks yellow, and your body is bloated. However, your cheeks appear hollow and there are visible blue veins on your eyebrows and yellow spots on the whites of your eyes. Those are signs of staying up late and not getting enough quality sleep.”
“When you gave me the rose, I saw some spider web-like marks on your palm. Your footsteps were unsteady, you were slouching and your gait was unbalanced. Those are all signs of fatigue.
“All these indicate that you need to go to the hospital for a check-up. Tang Beibei explained with a smile as she saw his still-skeptical gaze.
“You gave me a free meal and I gave you a suggestion. Whether you want to get a medical check-up of not is your business. I can’t convince you either way.”
“But I hope that you live a long, healthy and wealthy life!
Tang Beibei was not a doctor, so she could not be too direct. She just felt that the manager was a good person. Since he gave her a free meal, she gave him a gentle reminder.
As to whether he would get a medical check-up, as Professor Chen said, everyone had a choice. Even if she gave the manager a gentle reminder, he could also choose not to believe her.
However, she still hoped that the store manager would go to the hospital. His condition was still treatable if caught early.
A staff called out to the store manager. He had to go to work.
Jiang Jingchen asked, “What’s up with him?
“There’s something wrong with his liver, but it’s probably not critical yet. I’m guessing that hereditary diseases run in his family. It’s also likely that he has high blood pressure.”
Tang Beibei then whispered to him, “I can’t tell him my diagnosis because I don’t have a medical license yet, but I’m 80% sure.
Jiang Jingchen glanced at the busy store manager. His wife was modest. If she said that she was 80% sure, then it was probably the right diagnosis.
He stretched out his hand to her. “Dr. Tang, take my pulse and tell me how I’m doing?”
Tang Beibei held his wrist with a smile and replied in a serious tone, “Your digestive system isn’t bad but you stomach is empty. You need replenishment but don’t worry, I have a way to treat it.”
Tang Beibei called for service and ordered 1 kg of crayfish and two vegetables dishes.
Jiang Jingchen laughed in amusement. Tang Beibei just hadn’t eaten her fill and was looking for an excuse to order more food.
A waitress served her dishes but did not leave. She stared at Tang Beibei.
Tang Beibei was confused as she tilted her head and met her eyes. The waitress said, “Miss Tang, since you’re studying medicine, can you help me? I have seasonal acne. I went to the hospital and got some medicine. It got better at first but after I stopped the medication, my pimples came back.” Tang Beibei looked at the pimples on the waitress’ face. All girls liked to look good. It was embarrassing to have a pimply face.
Tang Beibei asked for her hand to take her pulse first.
She then stood up and looked at the pimples on her face. She also looked at her palm and asked, “You didn’t have this when you were young, and only started getting pimples when you were 15 or 16?”
“Yes, yes, Miss Tang, how did you know?”
Tang Beibei asked her to stick out her tongue. She looked at it and said, “Were you on western medication before?”
“Yes, I went to the hospital and saw a dermatologist. At first, the doctor said that I had puberty acne, which was normal due to overactive old glands during puberty.”
“It will go away after puberty when my hormone levels stabilize. But I’m already 21.1 can’t still be in puberty, right?”
Tang Beibei said, “When you first entered puberty, your oil glands become overactive. But your skin problem is also related to your heart, lungs, liver and gallbladder.”
“Did you not exercise since young because you get heart palpitations when you exercise? And everything is fine if you don’t exercise and the doctor agrees?
“Yes, yes.”
Tang Beibei deliberated, “Did anyone in your family die of a heart attack?
“Yes, my grandmother.”
Tang Beibei understood. “Your heart is fine, but that doesn’t mean that you are not at risk. You didn’t exercise much during your puberty and drank a lot of cold drinks, which resulted in excess cold in your body, making you feel weak and cold in your limbs all year round.”
The waitress looked at her with a shocked expression. “Miss Tang, you’re right!”
Tang Beibei continued, “You often work night shifts now. Although you rest during the day, it’s very bad for your skin. If you really want to treat your condition, don’t stay up late.”
“Staying up late will add burden to your heart and liver. If your heart and liver don’t get enough rest, it’s impossible to have good skin.”
“If your heart was weaker than the average person, your behavior is akin to slow suicide.”
Tang Beibei felt that she was being too harsh, so her tone softened a little as she said, “I’m not trying to scare you. In some way, your skin is asking you for help, asking you to make some changes to save yourself.”
The waitress was very convinced by Tang Beibei’s words and said nervously, “Then, will my treatment be very expensive?”
“If you go to the hospital for treatment, the doctor will probably give you some expensive supplements.”
“If you’re willing to activate your body’s immune system and repair function, and adjust your lifestyle, the cost of your treatment isn’t too high.” “The acne on your face is quite serious. Get some professional acne removal medicine. These shouldn’t be expensive, at most too yuan.” “Your heart and lungs are a little weak, and your Qi and blood are stagnated. As long as your heart doesn’t feel too uncomfortable, it’s best that you don’t stop exercising.”
“Also, eat some nutrients that are good for the body. Stay off crayfish because their cold nature.”
The waitress nodded vigorously. “Thank you, Miss Tang. What you said is simpler than what the hospital told me. I’ll make changes.” Tang Beibei smiled and continued to eat. Jiang Jingchen was puzzled and asked her.
“You couldn’t tell the manager directly before.. Why is it okay with this
woman?”
