Chapter 129 A Leisurely Daytime Retreat with Fragrance
1. During the daytime, when there is nothing to do...
During the day, with the sky bright and clear, the clinic was quiet and peaceful after finishing its morning rounds of patients.
Zhou Deshan and Xu Jingming tidied up the consultation table and medicine case, and bent down to organize the herbal medicine packets that they usually sorted and stored.
Chen Shanhe sat quietly beside his medical desk, his fingertips turning the pages of old medical classics, his expression calm and composed.
Murong Fangxiang, holding an account book in her hand, walked briskly from outside the courtyard into the clinic hall.
She gently closed the ledger, smoothing the edges of the pages with her fingertips, and looked calmly at Chen Shanhe.
She had witnessed Su Wanjing's heart-to-heart talk and complaints late into the night in the courtyard last night, and she understood it all perfectly.
It is also clear that Chen Shanhe, after experiencing the uproar, the online public opinion storm, and the official awarding of the plaque, still has not completely figured things out in his heart.
She stood to the side of the consultation table, not speaking immediately, but quietly watching Chen Shanhe who was engrossed in reading.
Su Wanjing is her husband, and her heart is full of heartache and worry. Her words are full of emotional concern and complaints.
Only when Chen Shanhe slowly closed the book and looked up at her did Murong Fangxiang gently step forward.
Standing upright in front of the table, with a calm and composed expression, I prepared to set aside idle chatter and have a serious talk with him.
Last night she was filled with worries about her children; today she will speak frankly about the pros and cons of human relationships in the medical profession.
Every sentence is objective and fair, without a trace of personal emotion, simply explaining the unspoken rules of survival.
As evidenced by the poem
Daytime clinic hours are temporarily low.
The hall was peaceful and quiet.
Observing with a detached eye reveals the true nature of things.
Wait patiently for the right person to understand the true nature of things.
Second, speaking frankly about past events and acting in an extreme manner.
Murong Fangxiang gently placed the account book on the table, stood firmly, and looked directly at Chen Shanhe.
She appeared open and composed, without beating around the bush or hiding anything, and went straight to the heart of the matter.
There was not a trace of polite formality on his face; his words were clear and distinct, and his tone was calm yet every sentence hit the nail on the head.
She saw all the past troubles clearly and understood the root cause better than anyone else.
Murong Fangxiang lowered her eyebrows slightly, spoke slowly, her voice clear and steady, each word spoken with sincerity.
"Shanhe, I know everything Wanjing said to you in the courtyard last night. She was full of heartache and concern for you."
"But in the end, she only saw the grievances and troubles you suffered, but she didn't see through the fundamental rules of survival in this industry."
"You have always been a doctor and a benevolent person, wholeheartedly helping the poor and needy, without having the slightest selfish thought."
She slightly raised her hand and gently tapped the edge of the table, her expression becoming more solemn, before continuing to speak slowly.
"But in the past, you were too simplistic and extreme in your actions, and you were stubborn and inflexible, only adhering to your original intention of healing and saving lives."
"By drastically reducing the price of medicinal herbs and selling medicines at affordable prices to benefit the people, they have effectively stolen the customers from other companies in the city."
"You only see the suffering of poor people who have difficulty accessing medical care, but you completely ignore the livelihoods of doctors and pharmacies."
Murong Fangxiang speaks frankly and directly, without being deliberately tactful or afraid of being harsh; every word she utters hits the nail on the head.
His expression was frank and open, his eyes clear and bright, and he spoke out what no one else dared to say.
Good intentions do not necessarily lead to lasting good deeds. Focusing only on one aspect while neglecting the overall picture will inevitably lead to disputes and troubles sooner or later.
No matter how good one's initial intentions are, if one does not know how to maintain balance and moderation in one's actions, in the end, one will still constantly attract trouble and controversy.
As evidenced by the poem
Speaking frankly and acting too hastily
They do not understand the advantages and disadvantages of worldly affairs.
Having a heart full of compassion
It is difficult to find a balance between worldly and mundane things.
Third, pointing out the advantages and disadvantages may lead to future problems.
Murong Fangxiang paused for a moment, her eyes calm and clear as she gazed intently at Chen Shanhe, who sat upright at the table with a serene and peaceful expression.
She knew perfectly well that Chen Shanhe was an upright and honest person with only the pure intention of practicing medicine and helping the world. He never had any selfish thoughts of deliberately suppressing his colleagues or excluding others.
He devoted himself to the study of traditional Chinese medicine for many years, only thinking about saving lives and helping the poor. He had no idea about the intricate human relationships and worldly affairs in the medical profession, or the conflicts of interest that affected the livelihoods of various parties.
Since ancient times, those involved have been confused, while bystanders have seen clearly. Chen Shanhe was deeply entrenched in his own kind-hearted obsession and could not see the hidden dangers that had been lurking behind the whole matter for a long time.
She took a small half-step forward, standing firmly, and spoke slowly and deliberately, her words still clear and coherent.
"This time, colleagues gathered to block the door and cause trouble. Unscrupulous internet celebrities deliberately took things out of context to spread rumors and smear, causing the internet to be polarized and in an uproar."
"On the surface, it seems that people are narrow-minded and jealous of your good deeds, so they deliberately band together to cause trouble and pick fights. But in the end, the root cause is that you have touched the fundamental interests of the entire medical community."
"Now that the street and higher authorities have officially awarded you a plaque and commendation, the whole city has been calmed down. To outsiders, it seems that everything has settled down and all is well."
Murong Fangxiang gently shook her head, her eyes revealing a clear and insightful understanding of the world, and her expression became more solemn as she continued to explain the intricacies of the situation.
"But if you still stick to the old ways and insist on not changing the rules and regulations for practicing medicine and selling drugs."
"Even if this current turmoil is completely quelled, there will be endless troubles in the future. Some people will be envious, secretly resentful, and deliberately provoke trouble."
"Various internet celebrities will take this opportunity to hype up the situation and gain popularity, and fellow doctors will repeatedly gang up on you. From now on, this matter will never truly be peaceful, and there will never be a day of peace."
Her words were firm and sincere, focusing entirely on the long-term advantages and disadvantages, without a single empty or pretentious statement.
Su Wanjing's soft complaints last night stemmed from her concern for your current suffering and hardship; while my advice today is based on my foresight of the endless troubles and problems you will inevitably face in the future.
Doing good deeds should never be done unilaterally, and saving lives should not completely disregard the livelihoods of others. Everything should be done in a balanced and moderate manner.
If one is stubborn and inflexible, without leaving room for others or knowing how to behave appropriately, even if one's initial intentions are pure and good, one will only attract trouble and misfortune, and will never find peace.
As evidenced by the poem
Seeing through the illusions of worldly success hides future troubles.
They knew all too well that self-interest could corrupt people's hearts.
For now, let's suppress the storm.
The dust and turmoil will rise again tomorrow.
IV. Rational reminders to wake you from your dream
After Murong Fangxiang finished explaining all the advantages, disadvantages, and potential problems, her expression gradually softened, and her gaze became sincere and earnest.
She meant no blame or reproach; she was simply offering kind advice and suggestions as a close friend.
She stood calmly in place, quietly looking at Chen Shanhe, waiting for him to understand her heartfelt words.
He's already heard the emotional complaints; now it's time to let the rational pros and cons and rules take root in his mind.
Chen Shanhe sat in front of the medical record and listened to Murong Fangxiang's clear, logical and straightforward words.
His brow furrowed slightly as he silently lowered his head in thought, repeatedly reviewing his past actions.
Last night, Su Wanjing's soft complaints revealed her deep concern and worry; today, Murong Fangxiang's rational advice reflects her clear-headed understanding of the world.
The two sides' words, one gentle and one firm, one emotional and one rational, instantly awakened me from my deep immersion in my original self.
Murong Fangxiang looked at him as he lowered his head in deep thought, a faint, peaceful smile curving her lips, and spoke softly again.
"Wanjing is my wife, and she feels sorry for you if you suffer even the slightest grievance; I am an outsider, and I can see clearly the balance of things in the world."
"There is nothing wrong with practicing medicine and saving lives, and there is nothing wrong with benefiting the people. What is wrong is to act in an extreme way and not to understand the importance of each profession making a living in peace."
"You need to find a balance, uphold your original intention to help the world, and also leave a way for others to make a living."
After saying this, she didn't say another word, turned around and quietly walked to the side to arrange the medicinal herbs.
All the necessary reminders have been given; now it is up to Chen Shanhe to calmly reflect and gain enlightenment.
On one hand, his lover spoke softly with concern, while on the other hand, his confidant offered rational advice. Both thoughts were solely aimed at ensuring that he acted prudently.
How to choose the path ahead and how to strike a balance are all left for him to ponder and come up with a perfect and safe solution.
As evidenced by the poem
Good advice awakens those who are lost in a dream.
A rational and insightful understanding of the mundane world.
There are ways to make a living in every profession.
The truest thing is for everyone to live in peace.
