“Ruan girl, sit here for a while, I’ll go and say hello to the hospital.”

He Xianwei gave some instructions to the nurses in the ward and then turned and walked towards the dean's office.

When the poison arrives, we can't just leave Ruan Qiushui in the ward analyzing its components and making an antidote, can we?

He Xianwei went to the dean's office and made room for Ruan Qiushui in a laboratory.

They also took a note stamped by the hospital director and delivered it to the hospital pharmacy, fully supporting Ruan Qiushui in obtaining the medication.

Half an hour later, Meng Fan brought the poison and handed it to Ruan Qiushui.

Ruan Qiushui hurriedly went to the laboratory to start preparing the antidote.

"Mr. He, if you give this to the old man, he'll be fine."

An hour later, Ruan Qiushui took out a tube of red medicine and handed it to He Xianwei.

"I'll go right away."

He Xianwei gripped the medicine and rushed to the intensive care unit.

Meng Fan helped Lao Zhao sit up and helped Lao He drink the medicine.

It must be said that Ruan Qiushui's medicine was really effective; people reacted less than a minute after drinking it.

"He's awake, Lao Zhao is awake."

He Xianwei saw that Lao Zhao had opened his eyes and cheered excitedly.

"It's really alright now."

Meng Fan took Zhao Weiguang's pulse and found that he was indeed no different from a normal person.

"Mr. He, Mr. Meng, I shall take my leave now."

Now that she's alright, she should go back; the children are waiting for her.

"Little Ruan, I'll have the driver take you home. I'll bring Lao Zhao to thank you in a couple of days. Thank you so much for your help today."

He Xianwei was truly grateful to Ruan Qiushui; otherwise, Lao Zhao would have been doomed today.

"Mr. He, you're too kind."

She got a perfectly crafted poison formula for free, so she didn't lose out.

…

When Ruan Qiushui returned home, Gu Xiaoxiao and Gu Changshu had already eaten with the children. Ruan Qiushui casually made herself a bowl of noodles, changed her clothes, and prepared to go out.

"Xiaoxiao, Changshu, please help your sister-in-law watch the children. I have to go out for a bit."

The children are still taking a nap, and they'll probably sleep for another two hours.

"Sister-in-law, go ahead and do what you need to do. We'll take care of the children."

Gu Changshu patted his chest and assured that he would take good care of the children.

"Sister-in-law, are you coming home for dinner?"

There are only a few people in the family. If my sister-in-law is eating dinner at home, she will cook two dishes.

If they don't come back for dinner, she and her fourth brother will just have noodles for dinner.

"return."

It won't take long, just a round trip.

Ruan Qiushui closed the door, picked up her basket, and went out.

She's been in Beijing for several days now, but she still hasn't gone to see Zhou Yi.

I wonder how well the boy is recovering, and whether he did what she instructed.

"Bang bang bang".

Ruan Qiushui arrived at a small courtyard and knocked on the gate.

"who?"

Big Head cautiously approached the door and peered through the crack.

"Big Head, it's me."

Ruan Qiushui knew immediately that it was Da Tou.

"Sister Qiu, you've finally arrived."

When Da Tou saw Ruan Qiushui, he quickly welcomed her in.

"Sister Qiu."

Zhou Yi was helping Lu Yao hang up clothes in the yard when he saw Ruan Qiushui arrive. He quickly dried his hands and came over.

"It seems you're recovering well."

She looks great; there's absolutely nothing wrong with her.

"Thanks to Sister Qiu."

He ate well, slept well, and was in a good mood during this period, so his illness naturally got better.

"Brother Zhou, please lead Sister Qiu inside and sit down. I'll go make some tea."

Lu Yao hung the clothes on the clothesline and hurried to the kitchen to boil water.

"Sister Qiu, please come inside."

Zhou Yi led Ruan Qiushui into the house.

Big Head knew that his boss had something to say to Sister Qiu, so he wisely practiced boxing in the yard.

"What information have you found out?"

Ruan Qiushui sat in the chair, wanting to hear whether Zhou Yi had done anything substantial during this time.

"Sister Qiu, my brothers and I have been traveling around Beijing these past few days and have noticed quite a few changes."

"First, private transactions became more and more blatant, and then many street vendors started doing business."

It's not just breakfast vendors; there are also clothing and jewelry vendors, and nobody cares.

Moreover, some people started wearing gold, silver, and jade, which were forbidden during the Cultural Revolution.

"I also heard that in the future, many things will no longer require coupons."

"Sister Qiu, does this mean that the economy has been liberalized and we can finally unleash our potential?"

This must be a significant signal of full liberalization.

If he could truly conduct business openly and honestly, then his talents wouldn't be wasted.

"Don't worry, there will be plenty of time for you to contribute."

The policies of domestic reform and opening up to the outside world will be implemented by the end of this year.

The current easing of economic controls is a harbinger of this trend.

As for ration coupons, they will be completely abolished in 1984.

"Take a look at this first."

Ruan Qiushui took out a business plan and handed it to Zhou Yi.

"Sales plan for the Snow White skin series?"

Zhou Yi opened it and looked at it. It contained a plan for the production, processing, and market launch of various skin whitening products.

This includes how to establish a factory, how to select a location to set up a store, and how to operate and sell the business.

Even the formulas for all of Sekkisei's products, including lipsticks, are clearly written on it.

"These matters are entirely entrusted to you."

"This is just the first step in our business empire; let's see if you can complete it successfully."

This can be considered a test that Ruan Qiushui is giving to Zhou Yi.

Whether she deserves to be given important responsibilities depends on how big and strong her skincare business can become.

"This is the seed money. Get things done as soon as possible, and I'll be waiting for your good news."

Ruan Qiushui pointed to the basket on her back next to her, which contained 20,000 yuan and some raw materials.

This money and these supplies are enough for Zhou Yi to operate.

"Sister Qiu, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Zhou Yi stood up, made a solemn promise, and was filled with pride.

This is not only the first step in Sister Qiu's business empire, but also the first step for Zhou Yi to change his life.

He will definitely make a name for himself and become famous throughout the country.

"This is my current address and school address. If you need anything, just come and find me."

Ruan Qiushui wrote down her address and home phone number.

"I'm leaving now. Contact me if you need anything."

Ruan Qiushui waved to Zhou Yi, said goodbye to Lu Yao and her underlings, and then left.

Ruan Qiushui walked through the deserted alley, took out another basket, filled it with a lot of grain and meat, and carried it home.

"Third sister-in-law, you're back."

Gu Xiaoxiao and Gu Changshu are playing with the children in the yard right now.

A couple of days ago, Zhang Ma went out and bought a fish, intending to make boiled fish. But then her two children saw it and insisted on grabbing it to play with.

Shen Yongjun and Liu Sanmei, being doting parents, specially found a water tank to keep fish in for the two children to amuse them.

Right now, the two little darlings dressed like bears are reaching out their hands, trying to grab fish from the water tank.
