Chapter 257: High Fees

Wang Yizhi accompanied his wife, who was struggling with obesity, to seek the guidance of Qin Zhenzhen for fertility issues.
Three months prior, Wang Yizhi had brought his wife to Qin Zhenzhen for assistance with her infertility concerns.
However, on that initial visit, Qin Zhenzhen was not available.
A month later, they finally secured an appointment and met with Qin Zhenzhen. After a thorough evaluation, Qin Zhenzhen delivered her diagnosis, stating, “Excessive weight is hindering her chances of conceiving.”
In women who grapple with excess weight, the accumulation of body fat can disrupt the delicate balance of hormones, causing fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone secretion from the ovaries.
This hormonal imbalance can impede the development and maturation of follicles, resulting in a shortage of mature eggs necessary for successful conception.
Furthermore, the hormonal imbalances in overweight women can exacerbate their weight-related symptoms.
In essence, if a significantly overweight woman does not address her condition promptly, she may continue to gain weight, making it increasingly challenging to become pregnant.
Recognizing the need for a more accessible explanation, Qin Zhenzhen adjusted her approach.
At this point, Wang Yizhi’s wife inquired, “Is losing weight the solution?” Qin Zhenzhen nodded, affirming, “Yes, weight loss is the key.”
Curious about the method, she inquired further, “How can I achieve that?”
Qin Zhenzhen advised, “For a quicker and more effective outcome, consider a combination of medical massage, acupuncture, dietary adjustments, along with regular exercise and prescribed medications to aid your recovery.”
The wife was taken aback when she asked about the cost.
Unhesitatingly, Qin Zhenzhen presented her fee structure.
“We will divide the treatment into five stages, focusing on progressive weight loss. The first stage, concentrating on initial weight reduction, will cost 1,000 liang. The second stage, intensifying the weight loss efforts, will be priced at 2,000 liang. The third stage, with a continued focus on weight loss, will be 4,000 liang.”
“The fourth phase will focus on recuperation, with the fee doubling compared to the previous phase. In the fifth phase, which emphasizes treatment, the fee will also double compared to the preceding stage.”
Upon hearing this, the overweight woman erupted in anger, exclaiming, “Are you trying to swindle me out of my money?”
“She’s just as heavy as I am, and she’s here for the same five-stage treatment.
Her cost is a mere hundred liang, while mine is a whopping thousand liang?”
“Why should I pay ten times more than her?”
In response, Qin Zhenzhen maintained her composure and explained, “These prices are determined individually. Your particular physique presents unique challenges when it comes to weight loss.”
“If you’re distressed about the cost, you’re free to leave!”
The steep pricing indeed sent Wang Yizhi and his wife packing, with an added suspicion that Qin Zhenzhen might be seeking revenge for Su Lan.
As they departed, the disgruntled woman muttered under her breath, “What terrible luck! Out of all people, it had to be you! You’re clearly out to get us!”
“They think they can fleece us? Not a chance!”
However, Huang Lihua, who was similarly overweight, managed to shed an impressive 30 kilograms in just one month at Qin Zhenzhen’s wellness center.
Her transformation left her looking many times more attractive than before.
Wang Yizhi’s wife couldn’t help but feel a pang of envy and jealousy.
“How far along are you in the treatment?”
Huang Lihua replied, “We’ve just completed the second stage. Miss Qin mentioned that we’re aiming to shed another 10 kilograms in the third stage, so there’s no need to continue losing weight beyond that.”
“Did you have to restrict your diet during the treatment?”
Huang Lihua shook her head, reassuringly, “No, I can eat to my heart’s content every day.”
“Do I seem like someone who can survive on a meager diet every day?” Hearing Huang Lihua’s words struck a nerve.
Wang Yizhi’s wife had consulted numerous doctors and tried various medications in her quest to overcome infertility. Ironically, her efforts seemed to exacerbate her weight gain.
She had experimented with numerous weight loss methods, some of which left her feeling so famished that she experienced dizziness. Eventually, she had resigned herself to her weight.
However, when she learned that Huang Lihua had successfully become pregnant after only another month, she clenched her teeth and made the decision to seek out Qin Zhenzhen..
