Li Zongmengguan smiled and didn't care. After all, this was a gift from someone to Qiu Man, and it was already quite generous of Qiu Man to give him this much.
Li Zongmengguan took some coffee beans out of the jar and then ground them with a grinder.
He has been working overtime frequently lately, and to stay alert, he has switched from drinking tea to coffee.
“Tell me what you gained from your trip!” said Chief Alliance Officer Li.
Qiu Man sat opposite Li Zongmengguan and recounted everything he had seen and heard at the Shen family's house, including the three meals he had eaten there, as well as the land that Shen Yanming cultivated and the chickens he raised.
From his words, it was clear that Qiu Man held Shen Yanming in the highest regard.
Li Zongmengguan had previously thought that Shen Yanming might be the same kind of person as Zhang Chenjun, but after hearing Qiu Man's words, Li Zongmengguan's idea was no longer so firm.
It sounds like she's a very clever and resourceful chosen one.
But that doesn't matter, as long as his heart is with Qinghua Kingdom.
After Qiu Man finished recounting what he had seen and heard, he took out several plastic bottles from his bag. "These are the things the young man mentioned that are useful for HZ. They are actually mosquito repellent plants."
Based on his own understanding, Qiu Man renamed Silverheart Hundred-Leaf Grass. After hearing this, General Li nodded and said, "It's a very apt description."
Then, General Li instructed Qiu Man to collect the seeds and hand them over to Dean Xu when he arrived.
They both knew that Dean Xu was only interested in research; he would study whatever you gave him and never asked where the material came from.
It is evident that Chief Alliance Officer Li and Qiu Man went to great lengths to keep Shen Yanming's identity a secret.
After Qiu Man collected the seeds, he didn't leave in a hurry because General Li was going to make coffee.
He was sitting on the sofa, waiting to have a sip of coffee personally brewed by General Lee, but just as he was taking the cup to get the brewed coffee, there was a knock on the door of General Lee's office.
Qiu Man glanced at General Li, who nodded, signaling Qiu Man to open the door.
When Qiu Man opened the door, he found six or seven people blocking the way. Qiu Man was puzzled. What was going on?
The bigwigs at the door, each holding a cup, squeezed into the office with fawning expressions, saying, "Boss, you can't leave us out of this good drink!"
General Li laughed, "How did you know?"
"You guys in the office didn't notice, but we could smell it from way outside! What kind of coffee is this? It smells so good!"
The bigwigs who came were all coffee lovers. After smelling the faint aroma in the office, they couldn't help but follow the scent to find their way here.
Li Zongmengguan pointed at Qiu Man, "He was on official business yesterday and brought this back for me!"
Actually, when Li Zongmengguan was young, he loved drinking coffee. However, he realized that drinking too much coffee was bad for his health, so he switched to drinking tea. He knew these coffee beans were top-quality when he took them out today!
Therefore, he was not at all surprised that the aroma of brewed coffee could attract these coffee lovers. However, when asked, General Lee directly attributed the coffee beans to himself.
Only in this way can Qiu Man keep what he has.
As for their own, they didn't dare to take a share; at most, they would come over occasionally to freeload.
General Li gestured for Qiu Man to come over, poured him a glass of wine, and then told him to go back to his office first.
There wasn't enough coffee brewed in the pot to go around, so General Li brewed it again.
So, a group of bigwigs squatted down next to the coffee pot and chatted with General Manager Li about business. Then, because there were so many people there, it attracted more and more people to come and join in the fun.
As a result, General Lee brewed pot after pot of coffee...
After everyone had left, Chief Li looked at the small amount of coffee beans remaining in the glass bottle and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. This was still him; if it were Qiu Man, there probably wouldn't be any left!
Looks like I'll have to drink tea in the office from now on; the flavor is too weak!
And with such high-quality coffee beans, the tea must be good too!
With that in mind, General Li called his secretary to take the coffee pot out and wash it. He took a little tea from the glass jar, put it into the teapot, and then poured in hot water to steep it.
When the tea soup turned golden and clear, General Li poured himself a cup. Upon smelling it, he found the tea to be pleasantly fragrant, without any of the overpowering aroma of coffee.
General Li took a sip, and as expected, it was top-notch!
After drinking half a glass, General Manager Li called Dean Xu.
"Old Xu, any discoveries today?"
"Li Heng and the others have stabilized; their condition has neither worsened nor recovered. The same is true for He Rui, and the virus in his body has also lost its infectivity."
I feel we're still missing something. Once we find that thing, we'll never have to fear the HZ virus again.
Even though it was over the phone, General Li nodded. "Have you found any cases similar to He Rui's?"
"We found it. It wasn't discovered before because patients were afraid to report their condition; they were afraid their abnormalities would be studied and dissected by research institutes..."
After hearing this, General Li was speechless. "Our Qinghe Alliance isn't that inhumane, is it? And the research institute isn't that depraved either. Where did they hear this rumor from, or are people really doing human experiments?"
Dean Xu couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, "I asked them, and they all said it was from reading novels..."
Li Zongmengguan was at a loss for words. He sighed and said, "Novels mislead people. Please respect science!"
"Yes, I criticized them, and they have realized their mistake. The research institute has now concentrated these infected individuals who have had both the unknown No. 1 virus and the HZ virus at the Imperial Capital Hospital. They are recording data and drawing blood for testing every day."
"Draw blood?" Chief Alliance Officer Li's lips twitched. The way Dean Xu said it made it sound like BT scientists were conducting inhumane human experiments on test subjects in an underground organization.
Dean Xu had no idea what was going on in General Li's mind. He chuckled and said, "That's right, we need to draw about 5ml of blood every day for testing to see the changes in the HZ virus in your body. General Li, let me tell you..."
Li Zongmengguan listened to Dean Xu's excited rambling and tried several times to interrupt him but couldn't find an opportunity.
Only after Dean Xu finished speaking did General Manager Li say, "Thank you for your hard work. If you have time, come over. Qiu Man went out and brought back some good coffee. I'll bring you some to try."
Dean Xu frowned. "I don't like..."
"Oh right, you like tea? Yes, we have some, and others too. Come over at three o'clock this afternoon, remember that!" After saying that, General Manager Li hung up the phone before Dean Xu could reply.
Dean Xu was a bit confused, muttering to himself, "What exactly is the boss trying to do? He knows perfectly well that I don't drink tea either!"
After thinking it over and over but still not figuring it out, Dean Xu decided to go and find out for himself.
Then he turned and went into the laboratory.
