"Master, since we are short on money, why don't we take this opportunity to make some profit from this thing?" Lu Fang said.
"Oh, how do we make money?" asked Na.
"We also make a medicine to treat the plague."
"Are you crazy? If we cure the plague, how will we plant wedges and collect souls!" the headless corpse objected first.
"Don't rush, listen to me!" Lu Fang stopped the headless corpse and continued, "Our medicine doesn't truly cure the plague brought by the wedges. It only slows down the effect of the wedges to a certain extent, or it appears to be curing the illness on the surface while secretly strengthening the control of the wedges. This way, we can squeeze Liu Sandao and Fu Ruhai's living space from both overt and covert channels."
Na understood the meaning of Lu Fang's words. According to Lu Fang's plan, they could not only earn more money to support their souls but also consolidate the foundation of the wedges, ensuring their success.
"Hmm, excellent, excellent! Let's do it! Then I'll leave this matter to you!"
"Your subordinate obeys, please rest assured, Master!" Lu Fang took his orders, and the three of them continued to chat.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Jin Zhong's experiment was successful, which greatly boosted everyone's morale. After all, controlling the spread of the plague was the most urgent matter at hand. Even Dean Li and Minister Gao were overjoyed after hearing his report.
"Hold a press conference and release this good news as soon as possible to boost everyone's confidence in our work!" Minister Gao said happily on the phone.
"Yes, yes, yes. How should we arrange the press conference?"
"First, make a plan and submit it for approval. Once the leadership approves, we will hold it immediately!"
"Alright, alright, I'll arrange it right away!" Dean Li hung up Minister Gao's phone, a smile on his face. It had been many days since he had been this happy.
On the other hand, Liu Sandao and Fu Ruhai were working tirelessly to collect the Jieyou Powder, wishing they could work non-stop. Bai Sixiang had been so busy these days that she didn't even have time to say hello to them. However, this made her feel fulfilled. Seeing more and more golden wedges in the hospital, Liu Sandao and Fu Ruhai finally breathed a sigh of relief. Even Zhao Qiansun made several trips.
"Good news, it is said that Professor Jin Zhong has mastered the prescription for dealing with the plague. This prescription has a particularly miraculous curative effect on the plague, and patients generally recover within two to three weeks..." The news kept broadcasting such content. Bai Fuchi watched, happy as a child.
"What are you laughing at, look how happy you are!" Guo Xiufang scoffed.
"How can I not be happy? I see the dawn of liberation!" Bai Fuchi said without hesitation.
"Hmph! This is just the beginning, don't celebrate too early. What if you get infected again!" Guo Xiufang said casually.
"You shrew, what are you talking about? You jinx, can't you say something nice!" Bai Fuchi's good mood vanished instantly, and he angrily reprimanded her.
"Oh, oh, oh, you're getting worked up! I was just speaking casually!"
"It's not okay to speak casually, don't you know how we've been through these days!" Bai Fuchi said angrily.
"Alright, alright. Aren't you going to call your daughter and ask her when she's coming back? We haven't seen her for many days, I miss her!" Guo Xiufang changed the subject to appease Bai Fuchi. Bai Fuchi wasn't really angry, but what Guo Xiufang said made him feel bad, so he vented his anger.
"Hey, Xiaoxiang, when are you coming back... Two more days? You're so busy... Then take good care of yourself, and remember to call home if anything happens!" The entire call lasted only one minute.
"Is it over so soon? How is it, she's not coming back?"
"She can't come back, she said she's busy. She can have some rest in a couple of days and then come home."
"Oh!" Guo Xiufang responded, and then said, "Aren't you tired of staying at home? Why don't you go to the supermarket and buy some things? We've eaten almost all the vegetables at home these days!"
"Hmm, okay. I saw that Wu Kui City is giving away vegetables for free, why haven't we even seen a single leaf of a vegetable!" Bai Fuchi started complaining again as he spoke.
"That's just news, how can everyone be giving away vegetables everywhere? Think about it, the officials are not fools."
"Hmph! Forget it, I'll go out and have a look."
"Wear a mask! And buy some more masks. Pharmacies have them now!" Guo Xiufang instructed.
"Got it!" With a "bang," Bai Fuchi left. Passing by the small square downstairs, he saw two or three people chatting sparsely.
"Sigh, finally I can come out for some fresh air!"
"Yes, ever since the press conference, our streets have been managed in an orderly manner."
"Who wouldn't agree? I was almost suffocating these past few days."
"We have to thank those doctors and pharmaceutical companies!"
"We all know about thanking doctors, but thanking pharmaceutical companies is a first."
Bai Fuchi intentionally slowed down his pace, not to eavesdrop on gossip, but because he had been cooped up in the house for too long and wanted some fresh air. He wasn't like Guo Xiufang, who stayed home all day and wasn't bothered.
"You don't know, there's a new medicine now, said to be specifically for treating the plague. It's very expensive, but its efficacy is very good, showing results in a week."
"Really? What medicine?"
"Yi Tie Ling!"
"How much is it?"
"560 a box!"
"So expensive?"
"The effect is good! Don't you know it takes half the time compared to the prescription given by Jin Zhong?"
"Really?"
"Of course. You get what you pay for. Besides, when the plague comes, do you want money or your life?"
"Of course I want my life! But it's outrageously expensive, and that costs money too!"
...
"Boss, what are your orders!"
"How are today's numbers?" a young man in a suit with shiny hair asked leisurely, sitting in a swivel chair. Sudan Fiction Network. This was the top floor of Shenhua Building, where the boss used to sit. According to the boss's latest instructions, Hu Tianhan was specially approved to sit in this position because of his diligent work. Shenhua Group's main business today is the manufacturing of "Yi Tie Ling." It's not that their previous businesses were abandoned, but because the best business right now is pharmaceuticals. They originally monopolized the entire vegetable supply of San Dong City, but compared to this business, that was like a chicken rib. Hu Tianhan focused his main energy on this matter, handing over the other business to others. To establish a grand image for Shenhua Group, they would appropriately distribute some supplies for free in the name of the group.
