That night, Zou Yi shared the good news that Mr. Zou had eaten three bowls of rice in a row in the family group.
The young and old in the Zou family are busy working all over the country and cannot go home every day, but they are always thinking about the sick Mr. Zou.
When they saw Zou Yi's message, all the Zou family members in the group were immediately shocked.
At first, no one believed this was true. After all, everyone in Zou's family knew about his condition. Since he was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer three years ago, coupled with the accumulated chronic lesions from the hardships he suffered in his youth, Zou's health has been getting worse day by day. He has been able to hold on until today thanks to his strong willpower.
Because of his physical discomfort, Mr. Zou could barely eat a bowl of rice a day, let alone three bowls of rice, which he couldn't even think about.
Later, the Zou family saw the video of Mr. Zou eating a meal that Zou Yi sent to the group, in which he devoured it in no time.
In the video, Boss Zou was eating rice in big mouthfuls, and the bone dish in front of him was piled up with fish bones like a mountain.
Before he finished his meal, he had already made a reservation with Zou Yi for tomorrow's dishes, specifically requesting braised pork and hairy crabs.
That deep and loud voice, that eagerness to eat.
If they didn't know that Mr. Zou had cancer, they would have believed him if he said he was a healthy old man.
The Zou family was very confused. Zou Yi had clearly reported Mr. Zou's condition in the group this morning, saying that he was woken up by pain at four in the morning and couldn't sleep, and he didn't eat much breakfast.
Why does he suddenly become a different person at night?
The second daughter of the Zou family asked nervously in the group: "Aunt, what's going on with Grandpa now? Why did he suddenly have an appetite?"
Others followed suit and asked the same question.
Each of them was very scared, fearing that Mr. Zou's current spirit was a last gasp of energy.
[Zou Yi]: It was some kind of painkiller your uncle brought back, and it was said to be effective in relieving pain. You know what, it was really effective. Your grandfather felt better after using it, and told me he wanted to eat pickled fish in the evening. I bought him a three-pound fish, and he ate more than a pound by himself.
[Boss Zou]: What kind of painkiller is this? It says it gives you energy and an appetite when you apply it. I've never heard of it. It's not something that could harm your body. Is it safe? Are there any side effects?
[Zou Yi]: There should be no problem. Yongsi brought it back. If it was something that could harm the body, why would he bring it back for his dad to use?
[Zou Huizheng]: Uncle, even fentanyl is useless to grandpa, so what else can harm his body?
[Zou Er]: Dad is in so much pain every day. If I can reduce his pain, let him spend the rest of his life relaxed and happy, and eat more delicious food, even if there are some side effects, what does it matter?
[Boss Zou]: I understand what you said, but we can't be muddle-headed. We must take seriously whether it is safe and whether there are any side effects. I will take a leave of absence for the next two days and go back to take a look in person.
[Zou Er]: Brother, isn’t the project you are responsible for in the northwest about to be accepted? How can I leave you at such a critical juncture? Just do your work peacefully, and I will go back to take a look, okay?
Boss Zou is a man of his word and very stubborn, just like Old Zou. He said he would go back and see it in person, and he insisted on seeing it first.
The family argued back and forth, but in the end no one could convince anyone else, and they all decided to go back.
Mr. Zou didn’t know that his children who were busy outside were coming back.
Today he had a rare comfortable night and a good meal. In a very good mood, Mr. Zou asked Qiu Yongsi to accompany him for a walk in the nearby park.
Seeing that he was in good spirits, his acquaintances greeted him with a smile and congratulated him on his recovery.
Mr. Zou responded with a smile.
When they reached a place where there was no one, the smile on Mr. Zou's face disappeared instantly.
"Yongsi, tell me honestly, what exactly is that pain-relieving patch you put on me?"
Although Mr. Zou is old, he is not confused and his mind is very clear.
He had never admitted it before, but he was the one who knew best about its actual usage.
He had been thinking about it while eating, but he still hadn't figured out the reason.
The pain-relieving patch on the stomach is just a small piece, why does it have such a strong pain-relieving effect?
The better the pain-relieving effect, the more uneasy Mr. Zou felt.
I'm afraid this pain-relieving patch isn't a good thing.
Qiu Yongsi understood what Mr. Zou was worried about and said, "You can use it without worry. It's not something of unknown origin. You should have heard Zou Yi say that I'm recording a program about folk inventions, and this was made by another mentor on the program."
"I made it myself?" Mr. Zou touched the painkiller through his clothes. "How does the painkiller work? How long does it last?"
"I'm still not sure how it works, and I haven't had time to ask her. She hasn't specifically mentioned how long it will be effective, but I think it should be long-term."
"What do you think? Does it have anything to do with what you feel? Answer the question carefully. How long is how long?"
After being scolded, Qiu Yongsi ran to the corner and called Dai Li.
Ask all the questions clearly before coming back to report the situation.
"It's long-lasting. The nanobattery inside can be used continuously for 20 years without any side effects or harm. When you don't need it, just peel it off. It won't cause any dependence, so you can use it with confidence."
Mr. Zou immediately grasped the key point: "What kind of nanobattery can last for twenty years?"
"She said she did it herself."
"I made it myself..." Old Zou walked back and forth on the cobblestone road with his hands behind his back.
A painkiller with no side effects and no dependency, and a nanobattery that can discharge continuously for twenty years...
Did she do all of this herself?
What kind of hands-on ability and creative thinking ability is this.
Qiu Yongsi: "She made several more and gave them to a girl with menstrual cramps on a show. She immediately felt full of energy and pain-free after using them. Later, when she heard about your story, she gave me two, one for you and one for me to relieve my migraines. She's a very capable and kind girl."
Qiu Yongsi still remembered his impression of Dai Li when he first met her. He thought she was just there to make up the numbers on the show.
It was not until today that he realized that he had underestimated her. It turned out that she was a person who kept a low profile and was willing to study hard.
"What's the name of your show? Show me."
"You said you wanted to see it?" Qiu Yongsi asked in surprise.
You should know that Qiu Yongsi has been invited to many programs. Mr. Zou has always disapproved of his appearance on TV, thinking that he is vain and likes to show off.
Therefore, Mr. Zou has never watched any of the programs that Qiu Yongsi participated in. Sometimes when he accidentally saw Qiu Yongsi's face appear on TV, he would immediately change the channel.
Now he actually offered to watch the show.
Zou Lao snorted: "What are you doing? I'm not here to see you."
Zou Laowan stopped walking and urged Qiu Yongsi to go home.
Qiu Yongsi found Dai Li's part as requested by Mr. Zou, but was then ruthlessly kicked out of the room by Mr. Zou.
Mr. Zou was alone in the room and watched Dai Li's part twice.
He was using a pain reliever and had a very strong resonance with the people experiencing it on the show.
So when everyone at the scene was questioning the girl who was suffering from dysmenorrhea, Mr. Zou was very angry.
He was so angry that he cursed at the audience on TV many times and even wanted to throw the remote control away at one point.
When the two young men were fighting each other without feeling any pain, Mr. Zou was amused by their recklessness.
But until the end of Dai Li's part, few people really believed that her painkiller was effective, or how effective it was.
Including the barrage, there are all kinds of speculations and doubts.
Because the most magical thing in the show is Dai Li's painkiller, she is the most discussed topic, with all kinds of opinions.
[I seriously suspect that this is a performance art piece by the program team and Dai Li]
[This is just bullshit performance art. They put on a play together, and it was so badly acted that it deserves to be called art?]
[This isn't acting, right? How are those two men supposed to explain this? Everyone saw it. They got beaten so badly.]
[So what if it was miserable? How do you know they weren't in pain? Maybe they just held it in without making a sound. Do you really believe they didn't feel anything when they punched each other?]
[The family member mentioned above has hit the point. Who knows if it hurt when those two people were fighting? If the production team gave me 50,000, I could also stand and take the beating without making a sound.]
"Ten thousand is enough for me. I'm tough and resilient. Jinshi TV, take a look at me. Can you please choose me next time?"
[Why is it still involved? I am Wu Qian, my acting is super good]
Mr. Zou was so angry that his blood pressure rose, and he shouted at Qiu Yongsi.
"Look at what these people are saying. They're asking the TV station to invite him next time? What do they know? They're all idiots."
Qiu Yongsi was a little anxious after being scolded by Mr. Zou just now, and only then did he realize that he had forgotten to turn off the barrage for Mr. Zou.
It's hard for him, old man, he actually got angry with the barrage.
"There are all kinds of people on the internet. No one knows each other over the wires, there are no constraints, and people say anything. Don't get too serious with them; it's pointless."
When Mr. Zou heard this, he became even angrier.
"Just because we can't see each other in person, you can say whatever you want? You should be responsible for your words and actions online. Don't talk nonsense about things you don't understand. The internet is not a place for nonsense."
“That’s the state of the internet right now.”
"Then don't care?"
"How can we control it? We can't. This is called freedom of speech. No one has the right to deprive netizens of their right to express their opinions."
"Freedom also has its limits. We can't just talk nonsense. No, I have to talk to them."
Qiu Yongsi was overwhelmed. "How are you going to explain this to them? Do you even know the people online? Will they listen to you?"
“So how do they express their opinions?”
"They have accounts online, so of course they can express their opinions freely."
Then, Qiu Yongsi was forced to help Mr. Zou register an account, and watched with his own eyes as his 91-year-old father-in-law started a quarrel with netizens.
[水沝??]: Look at the 43:12 mark, the boy with the chestnut hair frowned, it was obvious that he was hurt by the beating. Anyone who says that it doesn't hurt is blind. How big a hole in their brain must they have to believe that there is such a thing as a painkiller in the world.
[User 1872346] replied to [水沝??]: You question it because you have never used it. If you have never used it, you should not make such remarks online. It is not rigorous and has no reference value. I hope you will be more careful in your future comments and not make the same mistake again.
[Maniduoduo] replied to [user1872346]: Hahahaha, I just want to ask, have you used it? If you haven't used it, does that mean you are not qualified to comment?
[User 1872346] replied to [Maniduoduo]: Hello, I'm using it. I'm a late-stage liver cancer patient and have been in pain for a long time, unable to eat or sleep. Painkillers are no longer effective for me. Today I tried the pain reliever and the pain went away immediately. I'm in great spirits now.
[XX Forever Brilliant]: You just said it, and you used it today? Are you the woman with period pain? You got liver cancer after just using it for half a day?
[hehe]: I think you don’t have liver cancer, you have brain cancer.
[User 1872346] replied to [hehe]: I have liver cancer, not brain cancer. My brain is fine now and I can continue to work. Zhongjie Hospital has my medical records. People at the First Academy of Aerospace and Nanjing University are aware of my condition. The above is true, not a single word of falsehood.
[On the run Long Aotian]: Wow, you sound so awesome, everyone knows your disease, who are you?
[User 1872346] replied to [Fugitive Long Aotian]: My name is Zou Kaiji, you can find my information.
Mr. Zou's disclosure of his family background was like throwing a huge rock into the water, instantly causing huge splashes.
[The sun is finally out]: Academician Zou? Hahahaha, you said you are Academician Zou? I really laughed. This is the first time I saw someone impersonating Academician Zou online.
[Mango Pudding]: A Nanjing University alumnus is here! How dare they impersonate Academician Zou, the pride of Nanjing University? This is intolerable!
[Yuanyuanyuanzi]: 1872346 Did you know that Academician Zou is a very old man this year? He knows how to surf the Internet? If you want to impersonate someone, find someone suitable.
[User 1872346]: What's wrong with my age being 91? Who said that I can't go online if I'm 91?
[I only took a bite]: It seems that the winter vacation is really here. Do primary school students have too little homework? Can teachers nowadays assign more homework? I encounter primary school students when playing games and surfing the Internet. It’s so annoying.
[Good luck in the coming year] Replied to [user 1872346]: If you are Academician Zou Kaiji, then I am Academician Liang Xuewen. It's been a long time since we last met, old classmate. I'm still short of a card partner, waiting for you~
[Happy New Year] Reply to [Good luck in the coming year]: Hahahaha, you are so mean, I like it.
Mr. Zou's blood pressure rose, and Zou Yi hurried to find medicine.
After feeding Mr. Zou the medicine, he began to scold Qiu Yongsi.
"You too, why did you register an account for Dad? Look how angry you made Dad."
Qiu Yongsi also regretted that the netizens on Weibo were much more powerful than those on TV. Their words were more vicious and they even cursed people directly.
Mr. Zou is so old, how could he listen to those words?
Zou Yi: "Dad, let's not watch it anymore and stop arguing with them."
But Mr. Zou refused to admit defeat: "I wasn't arguing at all. I was reasoning with them."
Qiu Yongsi helplessly explained, "You can't reason with them. They won't listen to you. It's like if they say you're not Zou Kaiji, do you want to prove to them that you are Zou Kaiji?"
"I am Zou Kaiji, why can't I prove myself?"
"So how are you going to prove it? Using a brand new account, registered less than a day ago, and telling them one by one online? Or maybe applying for a verification number specifically for you and putting a yellow vest on you?"
Zou Lao raised his thick eyebrows and said, "Why not a certification number? Go and get one for me right away."
Zou Yi glared at Qiu Yongsi.
Qiu Yongsi: ...
He slapped his thigh in regret. What a bad idea.
Qiu Yongsi was asked to prepare materials for Mr. Zou and fill in the qualifications. An hour later, Mr. Zou put on a yellow vest and got a certification badge.
The person who had just been arguing with Mr. Zou with all his might watched helplessly as [User 1872346] became [Zou Kaiji] and his homepage even had identity authentication.
These people were dumbfounded on the spot.
[Mango Pudding]: Ahhhh, it’s really Academician Zou, my idol! Academician Zou, you are my idol!
[Punk Sweet Girl]: I just watched the documentary about Academician Zou today. I was so moved that I cried. Thank you for your efforts, which have enabled us to have the wonderful life we have now.
[Good luck in the coming year]: I’m sorry, Academician Zou, I really didn’t know you were real. Bah, bah, bah, I’m such a jinx, I hope you live a long life. Woohoo, no matter what I say, I still feel so bad, so you guys can just scold me.
[Don’t eat too much] Reply to [Good luck in the coming year]: After reading your previous remarks, emmm, you might as well commit suicide.
[Elephant climbing a tree] replied to [Good luck next year]: Academician Zou's health is not good to begin with, and you still say things like that, I really don't know if you have a brain...
[Good luck in the coming year]: Already crying.
Mr. Zou never forgot his original intention, and his first Weibo post was to restore the reputation of the painkiller.
[Zou Kaiji V]: I've personally used the pain reliever. My son-in-law brought it to me, and it's been fantastic. I have advanced liver cancer and am often in excruciating pain. After using it, not only has my appetite improved, but my mood has also improved. I haven't felt this relaxed in three years. I hope young people will listen to our real experiences instead of maliciously speculating about the pain reliever's authenticity.
Given Mr. Zou’s status, his words carry weight.
Later, someone checked and found out that Qiu Yongsi was Mr. Zou's son-in-law, and the painkiller was brought back by Qiu Yongsi. Now that Mr. Zou was the real person who experienced the product, the authenticity of his experience was even stronger.
[Tangtang]: Everyone has been talking so much, and now it looks really funny.
[All nicknames are taken]: Holy crap, it actually can relieve pain. I'm really curious about how strong the pain-relieving effect is that Academician Zou has turned into a little fanboy and personally comes out to argue with me.
[You bumped into a pig]: Hahaha, little fanboy, you know what, they really do look a bit alike. Now looking back, Academician Zou is quite combative. He replies to everyone who scolds him and gives serious explanations. He is so cute.
[Jelly Man]: My grandpa is also in the advanced stage of liver cancer. I know best how painful it is for him. He often bangs his head against the wall. If a painkiller can even stop the pain of cancer, I really want to buy one for my grandpa.
[Tianyi]: I want to buy one too. I have a pancreatic cancer patient in my family who also needs one. I don’t need complete pain relief, but a little bit of pain relief would be fine.
[情意棉棉刀]: So @Dai Li, do you have any extra ones? Can you sell them? How much are they?
That night, Dai Li's account went viral.
The next day, when Sister Tu checked her messages, she found tens of thousands of @s and thousands of private messages asking her about painkillers.
Sister Tu quickly browsed the private message and exclaimed: "If your painkiller can be sold, we will be rich."
Dai Li: "Which of my things can't I make money selling?"
Sister Tu: ...
Although the words were arrogant, she felt inexplicably refreshed listening to them.
Thinking of Guan Honghou who would call several times every day and chase after her to give Dai Li money.
The conditions offered by Guan Honghou are becoming more and more attractive.
At first, they were talking about a 50-50 profit split, then it became □□, 73, and today it was even called for 82, an unprecedented profit concession.
Sister Tu suspected that he didn't even want to make money.
Guan Honghou certainly doesn't just want to make money from constant temperature clothing. What he wants to do is build a brand. Once the brand occupies the market and becomes famous in his mall, it will also attract traffic to his mall.
He saw the business opportunity and knew that the constant temperature suit would be a hit once it went on sale, and even if the profit was only 2%, he would still be able to make a profit.
What he was afraid of was that someone would get there first and steal his business, so he made several calls a day.
Sister Tu: "By the way, you were too busy before, so I didn't tell you that Guan Honghou, the CEO of Yuanfa Group, called you dozens of times and said he wanted to cooperate with you to mass-produce constant temperature clothing. I wanted to ask your opinion."
Dai Li repeated the unfamiliar name: "How did he know about the constant temperature suit?"
Sister Tu: "Didn't you notice that the person who bought the thermostatic suit from your online store was also named Guan? He must have tried it and knows your clothes are good."
Dai Li nodded thoughtfully, and just as she was about to speak, Sister Tu's cell phone rang.
Sister Tu took a look at the incoming call and immediately laughed.
"Speak of the devil, here I come! He's calling again. He calls several times every day, and the last one was half an hour ago."
She answered the phone, feeling both amused and helpless: "Boss Guan, we are currently discussing this. Can you give us some time to discuss it?"
Guan Honghou grasped the key words: "Discuss? Mr. Tu is with Teacher Dai Li? Can I talk to Teacher Dai Li in person?"
Sister Tu looked at Dai Li and asked what she meant.
Dai Li gestured for her to give her the phone.
"I understand your thoughts, Mr. Guan, and I know you are sincere about your cooperation, but we still need to sit down and discuss some details of the cooperation."
Guan Honghou had a lot of negotiation skills in his mind and was just about to use them when he didn't expect the other party to agree so readily.
Guan Honghou's face was full of smiles, and he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling: "Okay, okay, I'll be right there. I have the contract and the lawyer ready. If you have any comments, you can raise them and we can make changes on the spot."
"Maybe not today. I have other work to do today. I don't know when I'll be done."
Yesterday, Dai Li received a call from Yu Ruifeng, who told her that the city’s fire brigade was testing new equipment today and trying to use the new equipment on police calls, and hoped that she would be there.
Of course she couldn't be absent from such an important event.
She also had to keep an eye on the scene to avoid any mistakes.
"Is it convenient for me to follow you? I don't have anything else to do today. My main task is to sign your contract." Guan Honghou asked tactfully. He was afraid that the duck in his mouth would fly away, and he would not give up until the contract was signed today.
Dai Li did not object and sent him the address.
When Guan Honghou and his assistant lawyer hurried over, they saw the sentry at the door and the words "XX Fire Brigade" next to it.
Everyone in the car fell silent.
Dai Li's car had just arrived, and as soon as her car stopped, someone came out to greet her.
The most eye-catching ones are two bars and one star, and two bars and three stars.
At that time, Guan Honghou had only one idea.
His partner is not simple at all.
