That General Manager Li is really wicked. We're all just ordinary people, so why is it that only General Manager Li has fair and radiant skin?
Everyone else is covered in mosquito bites, itchy and painful, making it hard to sleep. Why is it that General Li doesn't get bitten by insects?
"Don't say I don't care about you. Here, one for each of you!"
Amidst the gnashing of teeth in everyone's eyes, General Li stood up and distributed the spices sent by the research institute to everyone.
"The effect is really good. Try it when you get back. Now, let's discuss how to promote this spice."
"Let's stick to the same old approach and post the sales link on the official Weibo account. I think it's better to keep it under the control of the alliance. If someone tries to copy it, we're not worried about them making money, but we're afraid that their imitations won't be effective or that they'll add some toxic substances."
"I looked at the ingredient list, and it's all Chinese herbal medicine. Although they're not particularly expensive, the cost isn't low at all."
"I reckon that even if Qinghe Alliance sells at the lowest price, the people will still think it's too expensive. At that time, someone will definitely take the opportunity to release counterfeit products and make a fortune. We still need to explain the situation in advance to avoid the public being deceived."
General Li nodded. "What you said makes sense. There's still one question: where do the raw materials come from?"
Many wild medicinal herbs have withered and died, and it's uncertain how many of the cultivated ones will survive the dry season. It seems that no one is actively cultivating medicinal herbs this year.
"Yes, everyone was afraid of not having enough to eat, so they planted grains."
Even if there are plenty of Chinese herbal medicines in stock in various places, we can't rely on them to make a living.
Once the spices are available for sale, the raw materials will need to be supplied continuously, which is clearly not the case at present.
"Furthermore, there's no production line yet. The spices we're giving you are just samples handmade at the research institute," said General Li.
At this point, a bigwig suggested, "The formula should still be kept in our own hands, and it would be best to produce it in the capital, with the research institute strictly controlling the quality. As for the raw materials, they can be distributed to the guard teams in various regions."
"The guard team is already very busy, they don't have time for this. Let's recruit a group of laborers to specialize in clearing land and planting medicinal herbs."
"What I mean is, let the guard team select the best performers from the previous batches of laborers and let these outstanding laborers grow medicinal herbs. After all, this involves the issue of secrecy," the bigwig explained.
Hearing everyone say this, General Li opened his mouth, but in the end, he gave up.
He originally wanted to say that the recipe came from a folk report, so someone would definitely know about it, and keeping it a secret wasn't that important.
But then he thought that since the mysterious person had handed over the formula, he probably wouldn't use it to make money anymore. Moreover, deep down, General Manager Li didn't want foreign countries to know about the existence of this miraculous formula.
Moreover, the bigwigs present have already tacitly accepted that this is the research result of the research institute. If he were to reveal the truth, where would Lao Xu and the others put their faces?
General Li sighed, "Let's proceed as you have suggested."
After the meeting, General Li asked Qiu Man to call Zhang Chenjun and ask her what reward she wanted.
"Chenjun, how have you been lately?"
"That's great, Mr. Qiu. And you?"
"I'm fine. The spice recipe that Wei Xu submitted has already been verified by the research institute. It's non-toxic, harmless, and very effective. Thank you so much!"
Zhang Chenjun laughed after hearing this, "You flatter me. Wei Xu also told you that this prescription of mine must have fallen from the sky. I dare not take all the credit for it."
Qiu Man knew Zhang Chenjun would say that, "Since the other party chose to report it through you, it means that they intend to give you the credit, so there is no problem with crediting it to you."
"Alright then, thank you very much, leaders!"
"I'm calling today to ask what kind of reward you'd like?"
"A reward? I don't really want one! By the way, I'm with the guard team every day now, isn't it a bit inappropriate to have a guard by my side? Mr. Qiu, why don't you transfer the guard back?"
"That won't do. They went there to protect your safety. Are you not satisfied with them? How about I get you two replacements?"
"No, no, no, Wei Xu follows me around every day and is quite obedient. It's just that I feel like letting them follow me is hindering their future. When they're at home, I often hear Wu Chenhao reminiscing about the old days."
Qiu Man chuckled lightly, "Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Qiu Man called Qing and the commander of the guard team. Qiu Man asked him to help him see which guard teams had vacancies, well, nothing too important.
So, a week later, Wu Chenhao happily received a call about a transfer. He was transferred to the Anshi Guard Team, and his position was one level higher than his previous one, with better salary and benefits.
When Wu Chenhao saw that he had been promoted, he thought that his superiors were starting to value him. But he didn't know that Zhang Chenjun's phone call would prevent him from ever being given important responsibilities again, and his future was ruined.
Yes, Qiu Man does things in such a subtle way. He transferred Wu Chenhao to Anshi, which was a demotion in disguise, making Wu Chenhao completely marginalized in the guard team and forcing him to spend his life in Anshi to retire.
This approach will prevent Wu Chenhao from holding a grudge against Zhang Chenjun, and it can also be considered a way to resolve the Zhang family's troubles.
The capital city acted swiftly, issuing various arrangements within a few days.
On Friday night, Li Zhaozhao happily called Shen Yanming, saying that he would treat everyone to dinner on Saturday night.
Shen Yanming did not refuse. He and Bi Qiaoan prepared some gifts and then went to visit Zhang Heping and Ji Kangyong.
This was Bi Qiaoan's first time visiting Li Zhaozhao's house. As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Li Wanwan waiting for her at the door.
Shen Yanming and the other two were invited into the living room by Li's parents, while Bi Qiaoan was pulled to the backyard by Li Wanwan.
"Sister Qiao An, look, these are all raised according to your videos!"
Looking at the neatly maintained chicken coop and pigsty in the backyard, as well as the vibrant vegetable garden, Bi Qiaoan gave Li Wanwan a thumbs-up, "That's really great, it must have taken a lot of effort, right?"
Li Wanwan nodded proudly, "Of course! No matter how tired I am after work every day, I have to come and take a look, feed the animals, water the vegetables, and watch them grow day by day. It makes me so happy."
"You're better than me, really. I don't even have that much energy to manage them." Bi Qiaoan genuinely admired her.
Li Wanwan shook her head. "No, no, no, your strength lies not in taking care of them. Your greatest strength is that you have all sorts of ideas and can always guide us at the most opportune moment."
My mother said that someone like you either knew the news in advance or was blessed by God.
Sister Qiao An, I think you're the latter!
