[The Best Thing]

[Episode 3: Licorice root, with its sweet flavor and neutral nature, is renowned for tonifying the spleen, boosting qi, clearing heat and toxins, dispelling phlegm, relieving coughs, alleviating acute pain, and harmonizing the effects of other medicinal agents.]

The guests attending the JIC Summit

[The first day of the JIC Summit in Hang City]

will be here soon.

All departments must gather the strength

and take this reception work seriously.

-Got it. -Got it.

Is the ninth floor okay?

Yes, that's fine.

Hello, sir. Please take your room card and ID card.

This way, please.

Hello.

Manager Shen,

can you hear me?

Yes.

A guest doesn't want to stay in a villa.

Can you arrange another room?

Take him to the Presidential Suite 1807.

Then ask someone to help with his luggage.

Okay.

Hello.

Based on the X-ray images,

the patient's lung tissue in this area

has already developed some fibrosis.

At this stage of radiation pneumonitis,

promoting blood circulation and resolving phlegm

are more critical than clearing heat and relieving coughs.

By improving blood circulation and resolving phlegm,

we can enhance the pulmonary blood flow,

thereby improving lung function

and reducing the risk of infection.

What's the matter?

All right.

Head Nurse.

Perfect timing.

Please sign this.

Okay.

Let's go see a movie tonight.

What movie?

This one. It's a new tearjerker.

I heard it's really touching.

I'd feel a bit awkward

going alone as a guy.

Let's go together.

Just the two of us?

Senior He is busy.

The pen.

The week-long JIC Summit will

officially begin this Wednesday.

I'm currently

at Gunan Huating Hotel,

where all the guests will be staying.

And this Wednesday, they will...

Everyone, thank you for your hard work yesterday.

Today, we'll have more VIP members checking in.

Also, there'll be a cocktail party for Zhongyu Tech tomorrow evening.

Oh, right.

Zhongyu Tech's executives will arrive this afternoon.

The Front Office must ensure a seamless reception.

Manager Shen?

Manager Shen.

I'll reconfirm the guest list before noon.

Manager Xu,

have you checked the food and beverage stock?

Yes, we're fully stocked.

Thank you all for your hard work.

You two already know?

Do you want to have some days off to rest?

I can cover for you for a couple of days.

No need.

Right,

isn't today Saturday?

Shouldn't you go for your follow-up visit?

Yes.

I forgot.

Then ask for a sick leave now.

Go see your TCM physician and then come back.

I'll keep an eye on things for you.

I'd better not. Didn't General Manager say

we can't leave without permission?

I'll finish my work first

and I'll see about it later.

Okay.

[Honganmen Clinic]

This is your prescription.

Thank you, doctor.

See you next week.

Okay.

She didn't come again?

A heart's ailment demands

a heart's remedy.

Either clear the blockage,

or

uproot the cause.

Sun.

Help me check

if there is an appointment made by Shen Xifan.

Shen Xifan?

Just a moment.

No, she doesn't have an appointment today.

Thank you.

No problem.

Sun.

Give me

Shen Xifan's registered phone number.

Why do you want her phone number?

She didn't come for her follow-up visit today.

I should check on her

and see if she got held up by something.

She's quite young.

Young people nowadays

lack the patience

for TCM remedies.

It's normal for them to bail without warning.

She made an appointment with me last week.

Really?

Okay.

Just a moment.

One...

Here.

You owe me a meal.

I owe you a meal?

This is about being responsible for the patient.

Responsible.

Put on your mask.

Ms. Fang,

we knew you were coming.

We've already placed your favorite aromatherapy in your room.

Your room card will be ready in a moment.

Okay, thank you.

Mr. Yan!

Ms. Fang.

Long time no see.

Long time no see.

Shen.

Please handle Mr. Yan's check-in as well.

Sure, no problem.

Mr. Yan, this is Shen.

She's the manager of this hotel's Front Office Department.

If there's anything you need during your stay,

you can ask her for help.

You came alone today?

Your two sons didn't come with you?

My eldest son...

He is busy

managing some issues at his company's branch.

My younger son, Yan Heng,

is busy with his small robotics company.

He's not qualified, so I didn't let him come.

Robotics, right?

What a coincidence. I have a niece

who pays much attention to the AI industry.

These two kids should meet.

Sure, why not?

Sounds like they'd have a lot to talk about.

Definitely.

You should arrange it.

Should we arrange it?

Set up a meeting.

How about setting up a meeting for them

and let's have a meal together?

Okay.

That's great.

I agree.

It's settled then.

Hello.

Excuse me,

is this Ms. Shen Xifan?

Yes.

Who am I speaking with?

This is He Suye.

Dr. He.

Hello.

Are you coming today?

I've been waiting for you.

Manager Shen.

Please wait a moment.

Please tell the colleagues

from the Food & Beverage Department

to check when Ms. Fang will finish her afternoon tea.

Make sure to prepare hot water

for her bath later.

Okay.

Thank you.

I'm sorry, Dr. He.

I just had something to attend to.

I just want to ask

how you've been lately.

You didn't come for your follow-up visit today.

I've been a bit too busy lately.

So I didn't have time to go today.

Okay.

Then...

will you come next week?

Of course,

I'll be there next week.

♫So I wait and wander, but the outcome isn't so bad♫

How have you been feeling lately?

Have your symptoms of trouble sleeping, chest tightness, and anxiety

gotten any better?

♫Sparrows gather on the windowsill, sunlight streaming through♫

I've been doing pretty well lately.

At least I'm getting about five hours of sleep now.

♫Poets keep altering words to record the fast-changing world♫

And falling asleep is much easier than before.

That's good.

No matter how busy work gets, you still need to rest.

♫A relationship or an accident♫

If you have time,

try visiting places with lots of trees.

♫It became brighter because of you♫

Places with lots of trees?

♫The world suddenly became so cute♫

That sounds a bit mystical.

♫Maybe I'm too slow to understand♫

Places with lots of trees

have plenty of oxygen,

which can help you relax.

♫I can't confess my passionate love to you♫

Does that sound more scientific?

Much more scientific.

♫Love is an admiration for beauty♫

♫I've decided to only love you♫

Have you run out of your medicine?

Do you need me to prescribe more for you?

♫My foolishness♫

I think I still have a couple of bags left.

♫My sincerity♫

♫Only for one person♫

But I've been really busy lately,

and I get off work late,

so I might not be able to come for a follow-up visit.

♫Because of you, everything brightens up♫

It's okay.

How about this? I'll use last week's prescription

and have the pharmacy decoct it for you.

You can have your family come pick it up.

Sure, no problem.

Can I add you on WeChat through this phone number?

I need to send you a photo of the prescription

so your family can show it when picking up the medicine.

Yes.

This number is my WeChat ID.

You can add me directly.

Okay.

Remember to come for your follow-up visit next week.

I will come next week.

Thank you.

Okay.

Bye bye.

Bye bye.

♫A gentle breeze begins to rise♫

♫You'll see a rainbow♫

♫Hovering in mid-air♫

♫This sweet dream♫

♫All our days are filled with♫

♫Lololove and sunshine♫

♫Close your eyes, and love will never fade away♫

♫Love love love love, is right in front of me♫

♫Ooh love, ooh love, I've seen your face♫

♫Love love love love, is talking right at me♫

Hello, Dr. He.

I'm Shen Xifan.

♫Loving you, loving you, is the best thing I'll ever do♫

Hello.

I'm He Suye.

Please save my contact information.

Thank you.

♫All our days are filled with♫

♫Lololove and sunshine♫

♫Close your eyes, and love will never fade away♫

Got it.

I added licorice root for you.

♫Love love love love♫

Ms. Wu, help decoct this.

The patient's family will come to pick it up later.

Okay.

Wait.

Well... help me pack one more thing separately.

Licorice root, with its sweet flavor and neutral nature,

is renowned for tonifying the spleen, boosting qi, and clearing heat and toxins.

You can steep a few slices in water to drink.

It probably tastes as good as bubble tea.

Thank you.

The doctor told you to steep it in water?

That's quite thoughtful.

Drink this first.

Drink it while it's hot.

Don't let it get cold.

It's not bitter.

What made you think of steeping licorice root?

I happened to see some in the kitchen.

So I made two cups.

Not bad.

It clears heat and toxins.

[Licorice root, with its sweet flavor and neutral nature, is renowned for tonifying the spleen, boosting qi, and clearing heat and toxins. It can be steeped in water.]

It's the season to drink it.

Did the Shen Xifan you mentioned last time

come for her follow-up visit this week?

No.

You only get to see her once a week when she comes for her follow-up visit.

You've missed this one.

Do you think she might stop coming to the clinic for treatment?

[Licorice root, with its sweet flavor and neutral nature, is renowned for tonifying the spleen, boosting qi, and clearing heat and toxins. It can be steeped in water.]

She won't. She's busy this week.

She'll come for her follow-up visit next week.

Next week?

How do you know that?

I called and asked.

You have her number now?

I got her number from the clinic's registration form.

Didn't you say it's not good to mix personal matters with work?

But you said it's fine to get information

from the registration form, right?

Did you check up on her?

She has a boyfriend.

She has a boyfriend?

Well...

Of course. Such a beautiful and elegant girl

must have many pursuers.

Since that's the case,

you should stop entertaining any thoughts.

As TCM physicians,

we should focus on cultivating our character and maintaining our integrity.

Don't let any messy situations

ruin our reputation.

What else can I say?

Don't worry, I won't do anything reckless.

She has a boyfriend?

What a pity.

[The second day of the JIC Summit in Hang City]

It's the second day of the summit today.

Everyone, ensure our new guests are well taken care of.

Also, for Zhongyu Tech's cocktail party tonight,

make sure everything runs smoothly.

No mistakes.

-Got it. -Got it.

Cheers.

You gave a great speech today

on stage. You're a young talent.

Mr. Li.

I'll take my leave first.

Okay.

Enjoy the food and drinks and have fun.

-See you. -Okay.

Let's talk privately.

Don't let what we discuss today be forgotten tomorrow.

How should I put it?

I'm not quite good at drinking.

Once I start, I drink too much.

That's not true. You look quite sober.

It's not appropriate to leave early.

Manager Shen,

please

walk me to the parking lot.

Mr. Yan, let me walk you there.

Perfect. You take my assistant to my room

and bring my luggage to the parking lot.

Thank you.

Okay.

Manager Shen,

thank you.

Okay, no problem.

I'll walk you there.

Then goodbye, Mr. Yan.

Goodbye.

Take care.

Keep in touch.

Keep in touch.

Bye bye.

This way, please.

Okay.

Let's go.

Has Yan Heng...

talked to you about that?

Yes.

That's good.

Uncle,

when will Yan Heng return to China?

He's not abroad.

He's at home.

He's been in Hang City.

Why won't he even meet me once?

We were together for seven years.

Don't I even deserve a proper goodbye?

Am I that annoying?

What did I do wrong?

If you have time,

try visiting places with lots of trees.

The energy of plants

can soothe your body and mind.

Places with lots of plants have plenty of oxygen,

which can help ease your mood.

Maybe drinking two more bags will help me fall asleep.

It's okay. As long as I can fall asleep, it'll be okay.

It'll be fine once I'm asleep.

[The closing day of the JIC Summit in Hang City]

Yan Heng hasn't come, right?

No.

The summit's over and he still hasn't shown up.

He's definitely not coming.

From what I know about men like him,

he doesn't have the guts to come.

If he dares to come, I'll...

Alright.

Keep it down.

There are guests around.

You said you need an invoice, right?

Yes.

I'll send it to you right away.

Okay.

♫The moment I see you, all my worries turn transparent♫

♫In the silence, the sound of my heartbeat grows clearer♫

♫The entire world reflects in your eyes♫

♫Make a wish, can the snow fall slowly?♫

I wonder how long this summit will last.

♫Even if we're destined to meet and miss each other♫

♫Life is finally complete♫

♫Watching the snow fall, flake by flake♫

♫Slowly melting away my thoughts♫

♫Smiling, I wave goodbye as you head home♫

♫But I never said those words♫

♫Watching the snow fall, flake by flake♫

♫When will love bloom into a flower?♫

♫You wander the world, forgetting to reply♫

♫When you turn around, I'll be right there♫

Hello, Xiangya.

Hello, what are you doing?

I'm tidying up the room.

I'm putting away things related to Yan Heng.

But...

I haven't figured out how to tell my parents yet.

Anyway, that guy isn't often in China.

Your parents probably wouldn't think of him.

I'm an adult after all.

I don't want them to always worry about me.

I still want to handle it myself before telling them.

I don't want to keep it from them for too long either.

Don't put too much pressure on yourself.

Take a day off tomorrow and rest at home.

Don't think too much. I'm hanging up.

I've finished all the medicine.

No big deal.

Hello, I'd like to make an appointment with Dr. He Suye.

You're Miss Shen, right?

Yes.

Dr. He

is not here today.

He only works here on Saturdays.

Usually, he works at the TCM hospital.

The TCM hospital?

Yes.

Do you want me to make an appointment with another doctor for you?

No.

Thank you.

Okay.

Okay, make sure to get enough rest.

Let me know if you have any problems.

Okay, thank you, doctor.

Why are you using my pen again?

You guys

organize today's ward round records later.

Also,

how's the osteosarcoma report

you two have been working on?

It's done,

but we still need to cross-check

some data and conclusions.

Okay. I can help you review it later.

Okay, thank you, Senior He.

Senior He,

I've finished my thesis too.

Can you also help me...

Sure, no problem.

You've all finished?

[So I want to ask if I can go to the TCM hospital.]

[Hello, Dr. He. I went for my follow-up visit, but I heard from the clinic that you're in the TCM hospital today.]

I'm the only one who hasn't finished?

Aren't you ashamed?

How about this?

When Li Jie finishes his thesis,

I'll review both of yours together.

I might not have time after reviewing their report today.

Okay.

Why haven't you finished it yet?

I'm working on it.

I can't believe you.

You're free today?

Yes, I'm having a day off today.

Then come.

Li Jie is careless.

Gu Ping, Qiu Tian,

take your theses with you later

and wait for me in the break room.

I have something to do.

Okay.

Okay, Senior.

Bye bye.

Bye bye.

Shen Xifan.

What's wrong?

I'm...

a bit haggard today.

You're getting better, right?

It's okay.

Actually, you don't need to give me special treatment.

I can just go to the outpatient clinic and register.

I'm not giving you special treatment.

I'm not a doctor in the TCM department.

So you can't get an appointment with me in the outpatient clinic.

You... are not a TCM physician?

I am a TCM physician,

but I'm in the TCM oncology department.

Those who make appointments with me

are usually cancer patients.

I was worried the atmosphere in the oncology department might scare you,

so...

I arranged to meet you here instead.

Alright,

don't just stand here.

Go sit over there for a while.

Okay.

Why did you come for a follow-up visit so soon?

Didn't I just prescribe more medicine for you last Saturday?

I've finished all the medicine.

You've finished it all?

It's only been four days.

You finished a week's worth of medicine within four days?

I really couldn't fall asleep,

so I drank a bit more.

Medicine can be toxic too.

Even though it's herbal medicine, you can't drink it like that.

Dr. He,

are all these plants medicinal herbs?

Those

are perilla leaves.

Perilla leaves?

Isn't that your name?

Perilla leaves might seem unremarkable,

but they're widely distributed and used.

For example,

you can wrap grilled meat with them.

Have a seat over there.

I'll take your pulse.

Okay.

Sit down.

Thank you.

Come on, let me take your pulse.

Don't move.

Keep your hand still while I'm taking your pulse.

How have you been lately?

How about your sleep

and mood?

Everything's been fine.

It's just that

I've been quite busy with work recently,

so I've been sleeping late and unable to get enough sleep.

But...

the quality of sleep is okay.

Maybe you should get a new doctor.

My medical skills aren't that great.

Dr. He,

last time you mentioned dietary restrictions.

And now you're giving up on me?

I didn't say that.

Your words sound like

I have no medical ethics.

Another hand.

I need to take your pulse.

Besides insomnia,

can you help with something else?

My mom said

I've been looking pale

and lacking energy lately.

Of course.

But...

sleep is still the most important thing.

If you can't sleep well,

how can your body recover?

Right?

I...

It's not that I don't want to sleep.

Alright then.

Well,

I guess my medical skills are indeed not good enough.

I'll write you a prescription.

Done.

Take this prescription to the clinic and have them decoct the medicine.

If there are any issues,

tell them to call me directly.

Okay.

Thank you.

Remember, you must avoid certain foods.

No cold drinks.

If you really don't want to drink anything hot,

at least have it at room temperature.

How about...

no ice?

Drink whatever you want.

You're not exactly an obedient patient anyway.

If you want cold drinks, go ahead.

Maybe even eat two tubs of ice cream while you're at it.

That'll surely cure all your ailments.

You're a doctor.

Why are you getting mad at a patient?

Am I?

Yes, you are.

Fine, if you say so.

Well then, Dr. He,

I'll let you get back to work. I'm leaving.

Right,

thank you for sparing time to see me.

See you on Saturday.

See you on Saturday.
