“Yes, there are some things I need to do in J City. I wonder if the base commander could issue me this letter of introduction? I’ll exchange a box of anti-inflammatory medicine for this letter.” Lin Yue stated her terms.
Before Qin Chao, he was considered an important figure in J City; otherwise, he wouldn't have been directly dispatched to handle the affairs of a military region commander. His letter of introduction should be useful.
She used to say she didn't want to be a doctor because her parents died while she was working, and she couldn't get over that hurdle. But now, she has the chance to start over. No matter what she does, as long as she has the opportunity to be in contact with Professor Mu, she will do it. Working at the hospital is just the first step.
"How about a box of anti-inflammatory drugs and a bottle of Miss Lin's homemade medicine?" Qin Chao added.
He knew that Lin Yue was a doctor, and he had heard about the medicine from his parents and Professor Qi. However, they all said that Lin Yue had obtained it by chance and did not develop it herself, but he did not believe it, so he tried to trick her.
Of course, even if he managed to trick her into giving him the answer, he wouldn't use it to blackmail her into doing anything.
There's a shortage of doctors everywhere right now. Lin Yue can treat and save lives wherever he goes as a doctor. He's not so narrow-minded as to insist on keeping people here.
"The base commander overestimates me. I obtained that potion by chance, and there's not much left. But if the base commander wants to change it, this bottle can still be made available. However, I do have one small request." Lin Yue wasn't falling for the trap.
She traded a box of anti-inflammatory medicine for a letter of introduction, which wasn't a loss for Qin Chao. If he wanted to increase the stakes, it would be reasonable for her to bring up the jewelry matter.
"Please speak," Qin Chao gestured, indicating that he should.
"I can have one more bottle of potion, but I hope the base commander can give me another hundred antiques or jewelry, and the jewelry has to be valuable."
There are plenty of jewelry items, but not every piece is valuable.
Such a large base couldn't possibly be without even this little bit of valuable stuff—no, it should be said that it used to have valuable stuff.
"Haha! Miss Lin's request is quite unique. I've heard that Miss Lin has been exchanging these things all the time. Others think these things are worthless, that they can't be eaten or drunk. I wonder if Miss Lin would be so kind as to tell me why you're exchanging so many of these things?"
These things are really worthless now; nobody would pick them up if they were left on the street, because they'd be in the way.
"There's nothing wrong with saying that. Of course, it's because I like it. Before the apocalypse, I didn't have the means to collect these things. After the apocalypse, they're as cheap as cabbage used to be. It's just to satisfy my hobby." Lin Yue said frankly, as if it were really true.
"Miss Lin keeps all these things at home and plays with them every day?" Qin Chao asked casually, his eyes glancing at Lin Yue's bag.
I heard that you can take anything out of this bag, and it seems to always contain all sorts of unexpected things.
Lin Yue's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't show it on her face.
Those who can become high-ranking officials are indeed old foxes; they dare to swindle even when they know nothing, and they're not afraid of biting off more than they can chew.
“There’s not enough space at home, how could I possibly keep them all here? I’ve dragged them all out and hidden them away. Who knows, maybe when the apocalypse ends, these things will become valuable again, and I could even make a fortune off them. Keeping them at home is too unsafe, don’t you think?”
Seeing that Lin Yue's expression was normal and there was nothing wrong with her, Qin Chao felt that he should worry too much. Space is something that can only be encountered by chance.
Even a young girl with a good mindset can't hide all her emotions, but he still wanted to ask her again.
"Miss Lin always keeps food in her bag. I heard that even in the coldest weather, she can pull out steaming hot buns?"
"I always carry food with me, since accidents can happen anywhere, and I can't go anywhere without food. As for hot buns..." Lin Yue frowned and pretended to think for a moment, then her eyes lit up, and she finally remembered, "The base leader is talking about the time I went to Professor Qin's to exchange antiques, right? That morning I just steamed some meat buns, wrapped them tightly in oil paper, and the little boy was so thin, but his eyes were so bright, so I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. That's not illegal, is it?"
Even when I try to test her, she has to answer; it's really difficult.
"So that's how it is. I was just being naive. I thought Miss Lin must be quite capable to be able to eat hot buns all the time in such extreme cold."
"The base commander wants some steamed buns? I just steamed some wild boar meat filling this morning, how about a few?" Lin Yue reached into her bag and took out three meat buns wrapped in oil paper, placed them on the table, and pushed them in front of Qin Chao.
She wasn't lying; it really was filled with cured wild boar meat. She made it in her spare time to keep it in case of this situation, and she never expected it would actually come in handy.
Looking at the meat buns on the table in front of him, Qin Chao felt as if he had only said that to ask Lin Yue for food.
He hadn't seen these steamed buns made of white flour in a long time, and they looked delicious.
"Ahem!" Qin Chao cleared his throat, shifted his gaze from the steamed buns, and turned to Lin Yue. "Miss Lin, go back and prepare your medicine. I'll be back at 2 PM this afternoon. Just give it to me then. By the way, Professor Qi asked me to tell you that his experiment has restarted. He welcomes you to the lab whenever you want."
Lin Yue was stunned.
She hasn't seen Professor Qi since he went to see her a year ago.
Every time they met, they ended up having a bit of an unpleasant argument. Now that they were about to leave, it seemed there was nothing left to see.
"Then please tell Professor Qi that I'm leaving. It's my fault for failing his teachings. He's busy, so I won't bother him any longer."
All good things must come to an end. Take care!
...
After leaving the administrative area, Lin Yue went out of the base, wandered around outside for an hour, and then came back home to wait.
At 2 p.m., her doorbell rang.
She hurriedly went out to open the door, and the people who came were Qin Chao and his orderly, along with a few soldiers, and behind them was a slightly smaller truck.
"Miss Lin, where did you unload the things?" Qin Chao asked.
He brought sixty antiques and forty pieces of jewelry and ornaments. The jewelry and ornaments didn't take up much space, only the antiques did.
"Could you please help me unload my things onto the small truck?" After changing her things, she would get ready and head straight to J City.
There are several off-road vehicles in the space. It's not extremely cold now, so there's no need to modify them. They can all be used. Besides, Cang Yu has modified two of them. She can just leave the one in the yard. She can drive the small truck away and then drive it to the Qinglong Base when Cang Yu comes.
Lin Yue opened all the doors, took out the keys, and without her having to lift a finger, a soldier drove the car over, and the two cars were back to back together, and then they started unloading.
They didn't have much stuff, and they finished moving quickly. Lin Yue carried a box of unopened anti-inflammatory medicine from the SUV to the door, and then went inside to get a mineral water bottle with added brown sugar and spiritual spring water for Qin Chao.
"Base Commander, this is all the medicine we have, so use it sparingly. Under normal circumstances, one capful mixed with a cup of warm water is enough," Lin Yue reminded him.
