Chapter 124 A report that shocked the big boss on the spot
“I’ve thought of everything my sisters-in-law are worried about.”
She spread the draft paper on the ground and began to analyze it in a clear and organized manner.
"First, the technology. We don't need complicated technology. I will standardize all the processing methods for herbs and write them down into the simplest and easiest-to-understand procedures, just like a recipe, to ensure that everyone can learn them."
"Second, products. Let's start with the simplest things. For example, we can package several heat-clearing herbs into 'heat-clearing herbal tea bags' specially supplied to our military region. For example, we can boil cough-relieving herbs into a paste to make 'cough syrup'. And for example, we can soak blood-activating herbs in alcohol to make 'blood-activating medicinal wine'."
She pointed to DouDou, who was playing not far away.
"Didn't DouDou's cough get cured with just a bowl of plantain water? That's the best proof! Our product works!"
As the military wives looked at the detailed plan and then at Su Yue's confident gaze, their doubts began to waver.
Su Yue pressed her advantage, her voice suddenly rising, each word striking a chord in their hearts.
"We are military wives, but what does that mean? Are we just appendages who can only stay at home doing laundry and cooking, waiting anxiously for our husbands' allowances?"
"no!"
"Men shed their blood and sacrifice their lives on the front lines to protect our country! We are their support, but why can't we also make our own contributions and carve out our own path in the rear?!"
"Let them see that we women, we military wives, can do more than just give birth and raise children. We can earn money, build careers, and hold up half the sky!"
These words were like a fire, instantly igniting the flame of unwillingness to live an ordinary life in the hearts of the military wives.
Their eyes lit up, their breathing quickened, and their backs, which had been hunched over from years of housework, straightened up unconsciously.
Yes, who wants to spend their whole life just being a haggard housewife who only has a yellow face and is always around the stove?
To completely dispel their concerns, Su-yue decided to use her trump card.
She carefully broke off a small section of root from the purple ginseng.
"To prove that our product has a market, I decided to use this small piece of purple ginseng to brew a few doses of health-strengthening medicinal soup and give them away for free to a few retired cadres in the compound who are not in good health. Consider it a 'product trial pack'."
Her gaze added meaningfully, "That also includes that eccentric old man, Mr. Zhou, in the archives."
Upon hearing this, both Sister-in-law Li and Sister-in-law Sun understood.
This is not just about showcasing products, but also about winning people over and finding a backer!
How does Su Yue's brain work? She thinks three steps ahead for every one step she takes, calculating everything perfectly.
The idea of establishing a workshop for military spouses spread like wildfire throughout the entire logistics compound.
Most people thought this was a fantasy, that Su Yue, the young family member, was just playing house.
Soon, this news reached the ears of a deputy director in the logistics department surnamed Qian.
Deputy Director Qian was a conservative old-fashioned man who couldn't stand this kind of "restless" behavior.
During an internal meeting of the logistics department, he held up his enamel mug and gave a disdainful snort.
"I've heard that some family members, instead of staying home to be good wives and mothers, are always thinking about doing something shady. Now they even want to set up a workshop? It's utterly ridiculous!"
"This is a typical sign of capitalism! It's individualism at work! Not only is it wasting the military region's resources, but who will be responsible if something goes wrong with the food? It's utterly ridiculous!"
These words quickly reached the ears of the military wives.
The hope and enthusiasm that Su Yue had just ignited in everyone was instantly dampened, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over them.
"It's over, it's over, the boss has spoken, this deal is definitely off."
"I knew it, it's unreliable."
Sister-in-law Li and Sister-in-law Sun also rushed over to find Su Yue, their faces filled with anxiety.
"Su Yue, what should we do? Deputy Director Qian said this is a sign of capitalism. We can't afford to take that kind of blame!"
Su Yue was processing herbs in the courtyard when she heard this, and her hands paused only slightly.
She raised her head, her face showing no sign of panic, but her eyes growing even more determined.
She looked at the worried faces of the military wives, and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.
"Sisters, what's the panic?"
He's right.
"Huh?" Everyone was taken aback.
Su Yue slowly washed her hands and dried them.
“He’s right, we need official permission and support. A deputy director is definitely not enough.”
She paused, then spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Therefore, we need to find someone with a higher rank, greater vision, and more decisive authority than him!"
That evening, Su Yue's courtyard was brightly lit.
She carefully wrapped that small piece of precious purple ginseng in the cleanest gauze and put it into a wooden box.
Then, she spread out paper and pen, leaned over the table, and began to write furiously.
The moonlight outside the window shone on her focused profile, outlining a resolute silhouette.
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.
In Su Yue's hands, besides the wooden box containing the purple blood ginseng, there was also a ten-page report that she had stayed up all night to write.
The report's cover prominently displayed a line of large characters—
Feasibility report on establishing a military-owned medicinal herb processing plant in an island military region.
Carrying the two items, she walked straight to a small courtyard at the deepest part of the military compound.
She straightened her collar, raised her hand, and firmly knocked on Old Master Huo's door.
"They're here! They're here!"
Footsteps came from inside the door, and Huo Ming, Huo Lao's grandson, opened the door.
When he saw Su Yue standing outside the door, his eyes lit up instantly, and a big smile appeared on his face.
"Su Yue! What brings you here? Come in, come in! Grandpa was talking about you this morning!"
Huo Ming warmly welcomed her inside.
In the courtyard, Old Huo was wearing a white exercise uniform, slowly practicing Tai Chi. His movements were steady and powerful, and you couldn't tell that he was an elderly man nearing seventy.
Upon seeing Su Yue, Old Master Huo stopped his attacks and a kind smile appeared on his face.
"Little Su is here? Please have a seat."
Su Yue did not sit down immediately, but placed the medicine box on the stone table and said with a smile, "Old Huo, I'm here to give you a routine check-up."
She said it so naturally, but Huo Ming just laughed.
"Su Yue, don't bother investigating. Ever since you treated my grandfather, his health is better than ours. He even arm-wrestled with the guard the other day and beat the young man!"
Old Master Huo glared at his grandson, saying "Nonsense" but his eyes betrayed his smugness.
Su Yue smiled and still insisted on taking Old Master Huo's pulse.
She closed her eyes, opened them a few seconds later, and said in a professional tone, "Mr. Huo, you've recovered very well, but have you been experiencing some liver fire lately, and haven't you been sleeping very well at night?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Old Huo's eyes.
Question: Do you prefer a storyline focused on romance or career?
