191: Is it possible to get osteoporosis at such a young age?

In front of Qin Jiang, Gan Rui counted on his fingers.

"A hundred thousand yuan worth of goods, a 30% discount means seventy thousand yuan, right?"

The Girl on the other end of the phone had a gentle voice: "That's right, Gan Zong, it's only seventy thousand yuan, and you can buy out this entire batch of replenishment goods."

Gan Rui immediately hesitated.

"A 30% discount is indeed much cheaper than the previous wholesale price, but I don't have that much capital right now."

The Girl was still very gentle.

"Gan Zong, headquarters is offering you a limited-time discount this time. You still have five hours to consider. Please let us know once you've made up your mind, okay?"

Gan Rui wanted to say something else, but the Girl had already hung up.

Gan Rui thought for a moment, then finally looked at Wei Lan.

"Lanlan, you heard it too. I'm still short seventy thousand yuan for inventory. Can you lend me some money?"

Wei Lan shook her head and said, "I don't have money to lend you. My monthly salary is only four thousand yuan. Where would I get seventy thousand yuan for you?"

Gan Rui scratched his head.

"Why don't you talk to your parents? Just say you urgently need money."

"Your parents spoil you the most. Last time you said you urgently needed money, didn't they just transfer twenty thousand to you without asking anything else?"

Wei Lan looked at Gan Rui with a very angry expression.

"Those twenty thousand yuan were for our rent!"

"At the time, you also said you'd bear half the rent and that you'd pay me back when you made money. What happened? You still haven't shown any intention of paying me back!"

Gan Rui hadn't expected Wei Lan to suddenly bring this up. Perhaps because Dr. Qin was also live-streaming, Gan Rui felt a bit embarrassed.

He whispered to Wei Lan, "Lanlan, don't make a fuss. I'm at a critical stage in my career right now. You heard it, I'm already the exclusive agent. In the future, everyone in this area can only get goods from me."

"Do you know what business in this world is the most profitable? Monopoly!"

"Look at gas stations, power companies, mobile network companies. Why are they so profitable? Isn't it because of this?"

"I'm only short your seventy thousand yuan now. Trust me this last time. I'll definitely pay you back ten times, no, a hundred times these funds in the future!"

Gan Rui's words instantly caused an uproar among the netizens in the live stream.

"Is this Buddy crazy? Does he even believe what he's saying? Comparing his products to gas stations and stuff, is he even worthy?"

"I think he probably believes it. After all, what he just said was half-truths, plus he's already invested one hundred and fifty thousand. He has to believe it!"

"Indeed, many people caught in pyramid schemes aren't necessarily stupid. They were initially tricked into it, and most of them probably realized it halfway through, but what then? Not everyone can bear the sunk cost."

Looking at the seemingly crazed Gan Rui, Qin Jiang sighed.

Qin Jiang knew that trying to make Gan Rui see reality at this moment was basically impossible.

Because if you tell Gan Rui that the business he's involved in is all fake and a scam, it would be like making him admit he's been deceived and that the one hundred and fifty thousand he invested has gone down the drain.

For someone like Gan Rui, who isn't wealthy, you might as well kill him directly.

So, even if hope was slim, Gan Rui would forcefully convince himself that what he was doing was a legitimate business, and as long as he could trick more people into becoming his downlines, he might be able to break even.

Gan Rui still wanted to pester Wei Lan to get him seventy thousand yuan. Just then, Qin Jiang spoke up: "Mr. Gan, I don't want to interfere with your business, but are you still seeing a doctor now?"

"If you're not seeing a doctor, please leave. Don't delay me from treating the next patient."

Gan Rui was very displeased that Qin Jiang interrupted his request for money.

He was about to speak when he suddenly clutched his waist and cried out in pain.

"Ow, my back."

Gan Rui, who had been so arrogant just a moment ago, was now holding his back and slowly squatting down.

Before Wei Lan could go over to help him, Gan Rui endured the pain and lay sideways on the ground.

Wei Lan asked anxiously, "Dr. Qin, please help him. It looks like he's pulled his back."

Seeing Wei Lan so anxious, Qin Jiang couldn't help but sigh inwardly, they say foolish people have foolish blessings, and it seems to be true.

Gan Rui was clearly deeply mired, yet he still had such a foolish woman like Wei Lan caring for him.

Qin Jiang squatted beside Gan Rui and pressed on several areas of his waist.

"Does it hurt?"

Gan Rui made a bitter face and shook his head.

"The places you're pressing don't hurt, but my back hurts."

Qin Jiang immediately understood.

"This isn't a muscle or fascia problem; it should be a bone problem."

"Let's go. I'll help you up to get an examination."

Gan Rui originally wanted to lie on the ground for a while.

After all, lying sideways on the ground relieved a lot of his back pain.

But thinking that headquarters only gave him less than five hours to consider, Gan Rui, resigned, could only grit his teeth, stand up, and follow Qin Jiang into the pharmacy for an examination.

Half an hour later, Wei Lan helped Gan Rui, and he sat back down on the stool.

Qin Jiang held the detailed examination report and stated his conclusion.

"The report is out. Your back pain is caused by osteoporosis, and your osteoporosis is quite severe. If you don't get treatment soon, you're very likely to fracture or develop spinal deformity."

Gan Rui was stunned, asking somewhat suspiciously, "That's not right, Dr. Qin. I usually love drinking bone broth the most, and I drink milk often."

"Besides, I'm still so young. How could I have osteoporosis? Isn't that nonsense?"

Qin Jiang handed the examination report to Gan Rui.

"Examination reports don't lie. Your bone density is much lower than that of a normal person."

"And how much of what you eat can be absorbed by your body, and how much is lost due to various reasons, these are all uncertain."

"The only thing I can confirm now is that besides osteoporosis, you also suffer from Cushing's syndrome. If you don't get treatment quickly, you're very likely to spend the rest of your life in bed, with tubes inserted all over your body."

Qin Jiang spoke plainly, but images immediately formed in Gan Rui's mind.

His face turned very grim, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Wei Lan, standing nearby, asked confusedly, "Dr. Qin, what is this 'Ku-something syndrome' you're talking about? What kind of illness is it?"

Qin Jiang patiently explained, "It's a condition caused by excessive hormone secretion, and this condition can trigger a series of physical complications."

Qin Jiang said, looking Gan Rui up and down.

"His current body shape and symptoms are already very typical."
