I See through Everything

Chapter 72: Chapter 71: Dinner

"Boss Jiang, I’ve heard so much about you." The factory owner was a large, dark-skinned man, so fat his eyes were almost swollen shut.

Jiang Haibo, who was standing to the side, introduced him to Jiang Miao. "Boss, this is Boss Lin of the Jinhong Toy Factory."

Jiang Miao extended his hand and shook Boss Lin’s. "Hello, Boss Lin."

Suddenly, Boss Lin pulled Jiang Miao aside by the hand, away from the others, and asked in a low voice, "Younger Brother Jiang, I heard your medical skills are extraordinary. Could you do me a favor?"

Jiang Miao was taken aback for a moment, then looked the other man over again. "Boss Lin, you seem to be in good health! Just a bit of a fatty liver. If you lose some weight and get more exercise, you’ll be fine."

However, Boss Lin shook his head. "It’s not for me. It’s for my aunt’s son."

"Oh? What’s wrong with him?"

"Infertility... and he can’t get it up," Boss Lin explained in a whisper.

Jiang Miao was even more surprised. He then suggested in a low voice, "For infertility, you can try IVF at a hospital. For not being able to get it up, you go see a urologist!"

"His identity is a bit sensitive, so he doesn’t want to show his face at a hospital. Plus, his wife is unwilling to do IVF," Boss Lin said, a trace of helplessness on his face.

"Sensitive identity?"

Boss Lin lowered his voice again. "He has connections in the city government."

"Well..." Jiang Miao’s expression was a little strange. "His wife must be getting on in years, isn’t she? A high-risk pregnancy isn’t safe!"

"General Manager Jiang, you’ve misunderstood. He doesn’t hold any position himself—it’s his father. My cousin isn’t too old, just thirty-one. His wife is twenty-eight."

"Twenty-eight? That’s still fine." Jiang Miao continued, "As for whether I can treat him, I won’t know until I see him in person. I can’t make any guarantees. I wouldn’t want you to get your hopes up only to be disappointed."

"I understand, I understand. He’s secretly seen several famous doctors before, but nothing has worked. I’ve invited him to have dinner with us in Magong Town tonight. I hope Boss Jiang will grace us with his presence. Whether it works out or not, we won’t make things difficult for you."

Jiang Miao nodded. "Alright."

After settling this unexpected matter, Boss Lin immediately agreed to sublease the five acres of forest land to Hailufeng Company for 500,000 yuan.

He even offered to act as a go-between and help Hailufeng Company acquire the surrounding orchards.

This was the power of connections.

It could invisibly smooth over many troubles and even reduce unnecessary costs.

Once the two sides had settled on a preliminary agreement, Boss Lin left in a hurry.

Jiang Haibo watched the other man’s Mercedes-Benz speed away, then turned back with a worried expression. He said in a low voice, "Boss, about Boss Lin’s cousin... if you’re not confident, you should find a way to refuse. It’s no big deal, we can just find another factory. There are plenty of small, shut-down factories like this around here. There’s no need to take the risk."

Apparently, the sharp-eared Jiang Haibo had overheard most of the conversation between Jiang Miao and Boss Lin.

"It’s fine. If it were any other illness, I might not be so sure, but infertility and erectile dysfunction... that’s my specialty."

Jiang Haibo was completely bewildered, his mind full of question marks. "Boss, isn’t your major in bioengineering?"

"I can make eels change sex to reproduce."

Hearing this explanation, Jiang Haibo’s eyes went wide. "Are humans and eels the same?"

Jiang Miao didn’t seem too worried. "More or less. But I’ll adapt to the situation as needed. As long as his problem isn’t caused by a psychological issue, it can be treated."

For Jiang Miao, conditions like infertility and erectile dysfunction were a relatively easy type of illness to treat.

This was because these types of illnesses shared some basic characteristics: endocrine disorders, nutritional imbalances, lack of exercise, or simply psychological issues.

As long as it wasn’t a purely psychological problem, it could generally be solved with increased exercise and targeted nutritional supplements.

However, while this treatment seemed simple, it was actually very difficult. For an ordinary doctor, at least, it was basically impossible to replicate.

The prerequisite for this kind of treatment was a complete understanding of the patient’s physical condition—specifically, the patient’s entire gene sequence and the function represented by each gene.

This was something ordinary doctors couldn’t do.

With current medical technology, performing a full genetic test on a patient and also figuring out the corresponding effect of each of their genes was exceptionally difficult.

And even if it could be done, the cost would be absolutely astronomical, far beyond what most people could afford.

Jiang Miao called this treatment method of his "Full-Gene Targeted Therapy."

Everyone’s genes are distinctly different, which means each person has a different bioavailability for food and medicine.

There’s a very common example: many people wake up in the middle of anesthesia because their body is not sensitive to the anesthetic being used.

The same is true for food and medicine. For example, for some diabetics, eating taro will cause their blood sugar to spike, while for others, the effect isn’t as pronounced.

Jiang Miao could use his Appraisal Panel to see a person’s entire set of genes and the effects corresponding to them.

It was like a programmer who could see all of a software’s code and also knew the function of each line.

Under these circumstances, they could quickly fix the software’s bugs.

...

「Evening.」

The sea, caressed by the evening breeze, shimmered with fantastical golden light reflecting off the sparkling waves.

As invited, Jiang Miao arrived at a dai pai dong in Shen Port, Magong Town.

"Huh? Isn’t this Boss Jiang? How many in your party?" The owner, a woman, recognized Jiang Miao at a glance and enthusiastically approached him.

"I already have a reservation. Room 307," Jiang Miao replied with a smile.

Hearing this, the owner quickly pointed to a nearby staircase. "Boss Jiang, the stairs are on your left. Just head straight up."

Jiang Miao went up with Ke Yong and Li Zixuan.

He arrived at Room 306 on the third floor and knocked on the door.

The door opened immediately. It was Boss Lin, who laughingly slung an arm over Jiang Miao’s shoulders. "Thanks for gracing us with your presence, Younger Brother Jiang."

Jiang Miao turned his head and instructed, "Ah Yong, Zixuan, you two go eat next door."

"Yes, Boss."

The two of them took the hint and quickly entered the room next door.

Boss Lin was very pleased with Jiang Miao’s discretion. After all, for a matter like this, the fewer people who knew, the better.

Inside the room, a young man with glasses was already sitting at the dining table. His expression was a little awkward and surprised, but he didn’t say anything. Instead, he first poured a cup of tea. "General Manager Jiang, have some tea!"

Jiang Miao recognized the man’s identity at a glance—after all, the father and son looked very much alike. He didn’t say so openly, however. After taking a seat, he picked up his teacup and took a sip. "Since Mr. Li and Boss Lin have sincerely invited me, I will do my best."

"It’s alright. This is an old problem of mine. I’ve seen many doctors with no results. If you can’t help, Boss Jiang, I won’t blame you." Li Jianming had really only come this time as a last resort, not holding out much hope.

Jiang Miao nodded, set down his teacup, and got straight to the point. "There’s no time to waste. Let’s have a look."

"Then I’ll have to trouble you, Boss Jiang." Li Jianming extended his hand.

After taking his pulse, Jiang Miao also studied the man’s body, then had him stick out his tongue so he could examine the coating.

「A moment later.」

Jiang Miao took out a small notebook and a ballpoint pen he carried with him, writing and making notes as he observed.

Li Jianming couldn’t help but ask, "Boss Jiang, how is my condition?"

"The situation is manageable. I won’t show off with professional jargon. To put it in simple terms, Mr. Li, there are four main reasons for your condition: malnutrition, chronic anxiety, smoking, and lack of exercise."

"Oh? Can it be cured?" Li Jianming’s brow furrowed, his expression a mixture of belief and doubt.

"Let’s go through them one by one."

Li Jianming suppressed the various thoughts racing through his mind. "Please, go on."

"Mr. Li, can you quit smoking?"

"That... okay, I can quit smoking." Li Jianming steeled his resolve and agreed.

Jiang Miao continued, "Second, walk for an hour every day. You could walk home in the evening. That shouldn’t be a problem, right?"

"I’ll do my best."

"Third, follow the dietary therapy meal plan I’ve prepared. As long as you can stick to it for three months, the problem will be solved. However, considering it will need periodic adjustments, I suggest you come see me once a month. I’ll make secondary adjustments to the meal plan based on your condition."

Li Jianming took the notebook Jiang Miao handed him.

Several pages were densely filled with writing, containing a meal plan for nearly an entire week.

After looking at it for a moment, Li Jianming looked up and asked, puzzled, "I don’t need to take any medicine?"

"There are vitamin C tablets and selenium yeast tablets. I’ve written down the dosages. The 5,000-unit vitamin C isn’t produced domestically, so you can buy an imported brand."

Jiang Miao then added, "My treatment plan is a relatively safe dietary therapy, and it’s custom-tailored to your body’s condition. This plan is for your use only. It will have no effect on others, or it might even be counterproductive."

Although Li Jianming wasn’t fully convinced, he could only treat it as a last resort. "I’ll try it for a month first."

Then Jiang Miao gave him a solemn reminder, "Remember, don’t arbitrarily decrease or increase the recommended amounts in the meal plan. During the dietary therapy period, try not to drink alcohol, and don’t take any other supplements or medications."

"I’ll follow the dosages exactly."

In reality, Li Jianming didn’t know that as long as he followed this meal plan, he would see results in just over twenty days.

This was because the selenium yeast tablets and a component in goat’s milk would stimulate three specific genes in his body, thereby boosting his testosterone secretion.

Other foods would similarly stimulate corresponding genes to regulate his endocrine system, allowing him to fall into a deep sleep easily and alleviating the psychological stress from his chronic anxiety.

At the same time, the food in this meal plan would provide him with specific nutrients, increasing the vitality of certain organs and making his sperm full of life, rather than their previous half-dead state.

This was the power of Full-Gene Therapy.

Even without using medicine, it could utilize specific nutrients from food to stimulate particular genetic targets, thus showing therapeutic effects quickly.

Boss Lin was also a bit skeptical, but when he thought of the local legends about Jiang Miao, he quickly chimed in to persuade him. "Cousin, since Boss Jiang has prescribed a plan, just give it a try. It’s all dietary therapy anyway, so there are no side effects."

"I naturally trust that Boss Jiang wouldn’t harm me. It’s just... this has been a problem for so many years, I don’t have much confidence in myself," Li Jianming said, shaking his head helplessly.

Boss Lin comforted him, "Cousin, relax. We’ll know if it’s effective when the time comes. It’s getting late, why don’t we have the kitchen bring out the food?"

"It is getting late. Let’s get the food."

While waiting for the food, the three of them chatted about local curiosities and anecdotes, which naturally led to a discussion about Jiang Miao’s Hailufeng Company.

The meal lasted over an hour. After they finished eating, the others left in a hurry.
