Recalling the scene, Huo Haocheng felt embarrassed for Gu Jinghe. He didn't know what he was thinking. He was supposed to be packing his luggage, but Gu Jinghe dragged him to the Gu family home for dinner. He even thought Gu Jinghe had said he had prepared a wedding gift for him and asked him to go home with him to get it. Then, as soon as they arrived at the residential compound, they ran into Jiang Yuli, who was there to ambush them. During their struggle, they were seen by Teacher Shen, who was returning from get off work.

"Oh, I see!" Gu Wenpeng felt there was no need to listen to his details, so he turned around and continued walking forward.

Ruan Ruan, sensing the gossip, glanced at Huo Haocheng, her meaning clear: "I want to hear the rest." Huo Haocheng couldn't do anything about it, so he stepped forward and nudged her to keep walking, then said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "I'll tell you when we get back."

The two followed Gu Wenpeng to his office. After Huo Haocheng poured them a drink, Gu Wenpeng asked, "So, what made you decide to come see me today?"

"Hehe, Uncle, I've been thinking about you all this time!" Ruan Ruan also felt that she hadn't seen Gu Wenpeng for a while, but it wasn't her fault. It was just that the weather hadn't been cooperating. It had been raining every day before, and she didn't like going out.

"Stop being so frivolous, tell me, what do you need your uncle to do for you?" Gu Wenpeng had gotten to know his niece better over this period of time. She liked to think things through simply, disliked dragging things out, and was also lazy. She would stay home as much as possible unless absolutely necessary.

"Hehe, Uncle, you've wronged me this time. I've come to tell you something good today."

"Oh? Good news? Tell me about it."

"Uncle, I heard you haven't figured out a way to deal with the victims yet, is that right?" Ruan Ruan asked cautiously.

"What, you have something on your mind?" Gu Wenpeng and Huo Haocheng were quite surprised to hear her say that. They looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes. Only then did Gu Wenpeng believe that Huo Haocheng did not know what Ruan Ruan was planning.

"Uncle, what do you say? I'll teach them about medicinal herbs, then we can send them to different villages in Yunnan Province to help the villagers collect herbs. I'll provide the prescriptions, and your military will provide the personnel. How about we build a pharmaceutical factory together?" This plan was inspired by the system. Wasn't that Miao family a family of pharmacists? Didn't they want to poison the Chinese people? Didn't they want revenge? Then she'll build a pharmaceutical factory, take over all of the Miao family's previous businesses, and leave that old witch all alone. Let's see how she gets her revenge then.

"Ruan Ruan, do you know how much manpower and resources it takes to build a factory? It's not something you can just do on a whim! Do you have a concrete plan?" When Gu Wenpeng heard that she wanted to build a factory, his first reaction was that it was impossible, but then he remembered what the old man had said before: that he should cooperate with whatever Ruan Ruan wanted to do. He figured she must have already figured out how to do it.

"Uncle, let me analyze this for you, take a look! When we build a pharmaceutical factory, the most important things are the prescription, the medicinal materials, and the people, right?"

You're right.

"Then the first one, prescriptions. I am deeply versed in the true teachings of the divine physician Bai Shu. I have many prescriptions here. I have prescriptions for colds and fevers, headaches and fevers, medicines to stop bleeding from wounds, and antidotes. If all else fails, I still have my master." Ruan Ruan felt that there was no one in the world who had more prescriptions than her.

"You're right about that. What about the others?"

"The second thing is medicinal herbs. During this period, I have seen a lot of medicinal herbs on the back mountain of our province. Moreover, the unique climate of Yunnan Province is very suitable for growing medicinal herbs. That's why I said I would first teach those older women so that they could go to various brigades to guide the villagers in collecting herbs on the mountain. This way, they can have a status that the villagers will take seriously. Then we will buy these medicinal herbs at the right price, so that the villagers will also have an extra income."

Once we set up the factory, we had the prescription and the initial medicinal materials. The next step was to recruit people. I cooperated with the military. Every year, a lot of soldiers are discharged from the army for various reasons. Many of them cannot be assigned jobs after graduation. So our pharmaceutical factory recruits these veterans, provided that they are honest and upright.

In this way, we can solve the problem of victim attribution, help people increase their income, and also solve the problem of veterans' difficulty in finding employment. It's a win-win situation, so why don't we do it?

Most importantly, Uncle, do you know how many people die every year across the country because they can't afford to see a doctor or get medicine for a cold or fever? If we really build this factory, and then sell these medicines to them at a low price, that's a huge amount of labor, and the country can earn an extra amount of grain every year. Isn't that enough to allow us to set up the factory?

Ruan Ruan sat opposite Gu Wenpeng, looking every bit like a successful person, methodically analyzing how much benefit the factory could bring to the country.

After listening to Ruan Ruan's analysis, Gu Wenpeng was convinced. He could already imagine what their country would be like with this pharmaceutical factory, but as the commander, he remained rational. "You just mentioned hemostatic drugs? Do you have the prescription?"

"Of course, Uncle, have you forgotten? My master saved countless lives on the battlefield with his hemostatic medicine!"

"Okay, I understand. Go back and write a plan for me, and I'll handle the rest." Gu Wenpeng felt that Bai Shu's hemostatic medicine alone was enough for him to negotiate with the higher-ups. If this medicine could be produced and used in the military, it would definitely reduce casualties when soldiers went on missions. How many soldiers die every year because of excessive blood loss!

“Okay, I’ll write it when I get back. But Uncle, let me make this clear first: I personally want a 10% stake in this pharmaceutical factory. You need to make that clear when you’re negotiating with the higher-ups.”
