Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...
Chapter 214: Novel Misleads People
Chief Alliance Officer Li smiled and didn't care. After all, this was a gift from others to Qiu Man as a gift. It was already good enough that Qiu Man could give him some of this.
Chief Li took some coffee beans out of the jar and ground them with a grinder.
He often worked overtime during this period, and in order to stay awake, his usual drink has changed from tea to coffee.
"Tell me what you gained from your trip!" said Chief Alliance Officer Li.
Qiu Man sat opposite Chief Alliance Officer Li and told him everything he had seen and heard at the Shen family, including the three meals he had eaten at the Shen family, and the land planted and chickens raised by Shen Yanming.
From his words, it can be heard that Qiu Man admires Shen Yanming very much.
Chief Alliance Officer Li had previously thought that Shen Yanming might be the same person as Zhang Chenjun, but after listening to what Qiu Man said, Chief Alliance Officer Li was no longer so firm in his thoughts.
It sounds like this is a very smart and resourceful person favored by God.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as his heart is towards Qinghua Country.
After Qiu Man finished telling what he had seen and heard, he took out a few plastic bottles from his bag and said, "This is what the young man said is useful for HZ. It is actually mosquito repellent grass."
Qiu Man gave the Silver Heart Hundred Leaf Grass a new name based on his own understanding. After hearing this, Chief Alliance Officer Li nodded and said, "It's a very appropriate description."
Then, Chief Alliance Officer Li asked Qiu Man to put the seeds away and give the mosquito repellent grass seeds to him after President Xu came.
They both knew that Dean Xu was only interested in research. He would research whatever you gave him and never asked where the things came from.
It can be seen that General Alliance Officer Li and Qiu Man took great pains to keep Shen Yanming's secret.
After Qiu Man took the seeds, he was not in a hurry to leave because Chief Alliance Officer Li wanted to make coffee.
He sat on the sofa, waiting to take a sip of the coffee brewed by Chief Alliance Officer Li himself, but just as he was holding the cup to receive the brewed coffee, there was a knock on the door of Chief Alliance Officer Li's office.
Qiu Man glanced at Chief Alliance Officer Li, who nodded and motioned for Qiu Man to open the door.
When Qiu Man opened the door, he found that there were six or seven people blocking the door. Qiu Man was puzzled. What was going on?
All the big guys at the door came into the office with cups in hand and flattering faces, "Boss, you have something delicious to drink, don't leave us out!"
Chief Alliance Officer Li laughed, "How did you know?"
"You guys can't feel it in the office, but we can smell it from a long distance outside! What kind of coffee is this? It smells so good."
The big guys who came here are all coffee lovers. After smelling the faint fragrance in the office, they couldn't help but follow the scent and come here.
Chief Alliance Officer Li pointed at Qiu Man and said, "He was on a business trip yesterday and brought it to me when he came back!"
In fact, General Li loved drinking coffee when he was young, but drinking too much coffee was bad for his health, so he changed to drinking tea. When he took out the coffee beans today, he knew that they were top quality!
Therefore, he was not surprised at all that the aroma of brewed coffee could attract these coffee lovers. However, when faced with inquiries, Chief Alliance Officer Li directly put the coffee beans on his head.
Only in this way can Qiu Man keep what he has.
As for their own, they dared not divide it up, at most they would come and take a look from time to time.
Chief Alliance Officer Li motioned Qiu Man to come over, poured him a cup and then let him go back to the office first.
There wasn't much coffee in the coffee pot, not enough for everyone to share. There was no choice but Chief Alliance Officer Li made it again.
So, a group of big guys squatted next to the coffee pot and chatted about business with Chief Alliance Officer Li, and because there were so many people here, more and more people came to join in the fun.
As a result, General Li brewed pot after pot of coffee...
After everyone left, Chief Alliance Officer Li looked at the small half of coffee beans left in the glass bottle and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly. This was still him. If it was Qiu Man, there would probably be nothing left!
It seems that I will have to drink tea in the office from now on, it tastes bad!
And since the quality of the coffee beans is so good, the tea should be good too!
Chief Alliance Officer Li thought this in his mind, and called his secretary to take out the coffee pot and wash it. He pinched some tea leaves from the glass jar and put them into the teapot, then poured hot water on it to make it boil.
When the tea soup turned golden and translucent, Chief Alliance Officer Li poured himself a cup. He smelled it and found that the tea aroma was indeed pleasant, without the overbearing aroma of coffee at all.
Chief Alliance Officer Li took a sip and found it was just as he expected, excellent!
After finishing half a cup of wine, Chief Alliance Officer Li called President Xu.
"Old Xu, did you find anything today?"
"Li Heng and his friends are now stable. They are neither getting worse nor recovering. The same is true for He Rui, and the virus in his body has lost its infectiousness.
I think we are just one step away from finding something, and once we find that thing, we won’t have to worry about the HZ virus anymore.”
Although they were on the phone, Chief Alliance Officer Li nodded and asked, "Have you found any cases similar to He Rui's?"
"We found it. We didn't find it before because patients didn't dare to report their conditions. They were afraid that their abnormalities would be studied and sliced by scientific research institutes..."
After hearing this, Chief Alliance Officer Li was somewhat speechless. "Our Qinghe Alliance is not so inhumane, and the Research Institute is not so cruel, right? Where did they hear this rumor from, or are there really people doing human experiments?"
Dean Xu couldn't help laughing after hearing this. "I asked them, and they all said they read it from novels..."
Chief Alliance Officer Li didn't know what to say. He sighed and said, "Novels are misleading. Please respect science!"
"Well, I criticized them, and they already know they were wrong. Now the Research Institute has gathered those infected with both the Unknown No. 1 and HZ viruses in the Imperial Capital Hospital. They record their data and draw blood for tests every day."
"Draw blood?" Chief Alliance Officer Li's mouth twitched. What President Xu said really sounded like a BT scientist in an underground organization conducting inhumane human experiments on test subjects.
Dean Xu didn't know what Chief Alliance Officer Li was thinking. He said cheerfully, "Yes, we need to draw about 5 ml of blood every day for testing to see how the HZ virus in the body changes. Chief Alliance Officer Li, let me tell you..."
Chief Alliance Officer Li listened to President Xu's excited babble and tried to interrupt him several times but couldn't find a chance.
Only after Dean Xu finished speaking did Chief Alliance Officer Li say, "Thank you for your hard work. If you have time, come over. Qiu Man went out and brought back some good coffee. Come over and give you some to try."
Dean Xu frowned, "I don't like..."
"Oh yes, you like drinking tea. Yes, there are other things. Come over at three o'clock in the afternoon. Remember it!" Chief Alliance Officer Li hung up the phone without waiting for President Xu to reply.
Dean Xu was a little confused and muttered in his heart: "What on earth does the boss want to do? He knows that I don't drink tea either!"
After thinking about it for a long time and still unable to figure it out, Dean Xu decided to go and find out for sure.
Then he turned and went into the laboratory.
