For a full day and night, the recording studio was occupied by a group of beautiful women, and the staff were working overtime and were extremely busy.

Early in the morning, Zheng Jing brought a box of USB drives to Lin Rui's office. Having guessed Lin Rui's true intentions, she had already screened out a group of people in advance. The USB drives that could be put in the box all had their own unique characteristics.

However, seeing Lin Rui still frantically typing on the keyboard in front of the computer, Zheng Jing didn't want to disturb him. She simply placed the box gently on the table and quietly closed the door to leave.

The ringing of his phone interrupted Lin Rui's flow of thoughts. He glanced at the number; it was Xu Hongzhuo.

"President Xu, is there something you need?"

"right."

Looking at the familiar scenery of Xiazhou, Xu Hongzhuo felt a sense of nostalgia, as if he had been transported back in time.

He vowed that unless he was truly on his deathbed, he would never set foot in Yunzhou again in his life.

However, this long-lost sense of comfort was quickly wiped out by the noise behind him. As he watched the members of the medical association, led by Zhong Xuanling, disembark one after another and comment on the surrounding scenery, his heart couldn't help but pound.

"What's the progress on your end regarding the 'Compendium of Materia Medica'?"

"You've written another 400,000 words, what's wrong?"

Over 400,000 words?

That would be great!

Xu Hongzhuo glanced furtively at Zhong Xuanling and the others, who were looking excited, and said in a low voice, "Quickly find someone to send it to my office. A delegation from Yunzhou has come to Xiazhou to see the manuscript in person. I'm worried that they might bother you, so I've decided to delay it for you."

"manuscript?"

Lin Rui frowned slightly.

Where did he get the manuscript?

When they made that bold promise, they never imagined that such an unexpected event as the visiting delegation would occur.

However, upon further reflection, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing; at least the Compendium of Materia Medica had indeed gained the attention of Yunzhou.

"Okay, I'll send someone over once I've bound it."

"As quickly as possible."

Xu Hongzhuo was having a bit of a headache.

"Why don't you send the manuscript along with it? I can guarantee that it will not be lost or damaged."

"Besides, with the original manuscript, I can find someone to print it at the same time. In terms of efficiency, it's definitely much faster than you doing it alone, don't you think?"

That's the right logic.

But if Lin Rui could produce it, he would have packed it up and sent it to Xu Hongzhuo long ago. Why would he do this thankless task? Do you really think he has nothing better to do?

Wouldn't it be better for him to use that time to pick more fruits and vegetables or review more excellent films and television shows?

In Lin Rui's opinion, he is now completely neglecting his duties!

"Due to some special reasons, the original manuscript cannot be given out. This is an agreement between me and Dr. Li."

"I see."

Xu Hongzhuo was stumped again and asked, "What if we go to the site to look through it?"

"President Xu, don't you think I'm busy enough?"

Lin Rui couldn't very well refuse outright.

Fortunately, Xu Hongzhuo guessed what was bothering Lin Rui. If such a delegation were to appear at Tianrui Entertainment, Lin Rui, as the person in charge, would inevitably be bombarded with questions. Not only would it delay things, but if the kid suddenly had a relapse of his old ailment, things would get really messy.

Having figured this out, Xu Hongzhuo gritted his teeth after ending the call, then turned around again with a warm smile: "Old Zhong, Old Gao, you haven't been to Xiazhou in a long time. Xiazhou has changed a lot. Come on, I'll treat you to a good meal at Longfenglou today."
