However, the couple still had a question in their minds: "Since these formulas are so effective, and the alliance is ramping up production but the output is not keeping up, why not just publish the formulas, like that mosquito repellent fragrance?"
The bigwig laughed, "If the prescription is made public, I'm afraid some capital will get involved and monopolize the Chinese medicinal herbs in China."
In that case, let alone ordinary citizens, even security guards would likely have little access to these finished pills.
The couple nodded, "That's true. Once the recipe is made public, many things will get out of control."
"Yes, if we keep it a secret, while meeting domestic demand, we might even be able to export it abroad and exchange it for survival supplies."
Now they both understood that the reason Qiao An received such good treatment was simply because she was irreplaceable.
Otherwise, if someone is unhappy and says that breastfeeding is too tiring and wants to quit, they can only do nothing about it.
Now that things were cleared up, Li Gangtie left to find someone to move the furniture.
He had to personally oversee things and make sure Joanne got the best.
As for bedding and such, he doesn't need to worry about it. After all, these are things he uses close to his body, so it's better to prepare them himself.
The three big shots left with smiles on their faces. "After the furnishings in the house are set up, have Steel change the lock for you. You can keep the key yourself from now on."
Our security here is pretty good; we generally don't attract thieves. However, to avoid trouble, we've decided to provide you with two safes; you can use them as needed.
Bi Qiaoan smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your trouble, leaders!"
After Shen Yanming helped Bi Qiaoan back to the office, Guo Tingshuo got up to see the three big shots off.
Seeing the gentle warmth on the faces of the three, he knew that the couple were no ordinary people.
It seems he needs to take better care of the other party.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan's actions were so significant that they naturally aroused the curiosity of their other colleagues in the office.
The two didn't say it explicitly, but only gave a half-truthful account that it was about Qiao An's work.
Seeing this, the group stopped asking questions.
However, not long after, Li Gangtie arrived with his guards, carrying a bed, wardrobe, filing cabinet, and safe.
They put the furniture in the hallway, opened the door to the next meeting room, disassembled the middle section of the oval-shaped modular conference table, took out four long tables, and then put the rest back together.
This way, the table was reduced to a much smaller size, and space was freed up in the room to place a bed and a wardrobe.
The security guards who came to help moved the long table to the corridor, and then moved the furniture into the conference room and arranged it.
I took a rag and wiped the furniture clean, then swept and mopped the floor as well.
Finally, they carried the four long tables away.
Li Gangtie personally replaced the lock cylinder with the highest level of security, then handed the key to Bi Qiaoan and said, "From now on, you can rest in the next room. That's the private rest room that the guard team has provided for you."
Go check it out in a bit. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, just let me know and I'll replace it for you.
Li Gangtie said all this to remind everyone that the meeting room now had an owner and was no longer for their public use.
Let's prevent anyone from wanting to go in and rest, which could cause trouble.
Bi Qiaoan was grateful for the other party's thoughtfulness and thanked them with a smile: "What you prepared is naturally the best. Please also thank the three leaders for taking care of me, a pregnant woman."
Although she said the guards were giving her preferential treatment because of her health condition, everyone knew she had powerful connections.
Otherwise, why would three leaders have been dragged into this?
Bi Qiaoan didn't care at all about making a big show out of a show, because she hated trouble the most.
If a few words can make people misunderstand that she has a powerful backer and thus be wary, she doesn't mind using them to her advantage from time to time.
Li Gangtie was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this, exclaiming, "You, you!"
Then he nodded helplessly, "Alright, I'll convey your gratitude verbatim."
He needed to prepare those men mentally, because in a few days the guards might cause quite a stir in the city.
As he expected, not long after, a rumor circulated within the Hai City Guard that Shen Yanming's wife, Bi Qiaoan, had a powerful background and that even several big shots had to give her face.
But what her background was, nobody knew. Because her file clearly stated that she was an orphan.
But it's impossible to say she has no background. Otherwise, why would the guards grant her a special lounge and have Li Gangtie prepare it so fully?
Gradually, some people began to suspect that Bi Qiaoan might have a relative who held a high-ranking position in the capital. Otherwise, how could Shen Yanming be so familiar with the guards from the capital in Suzhou?
You see, they had heard rumors that Li Sikai was someone who could freely enter and leave the Alliance headquarters.
And so, the rumors intensified, making the couple seem like mythical figures.
The guards' leaders knew about these rumors from the beginning, and some of them were even deliberately spread by them; otherwise, how could their favoritism be explained?
Moreover, it's safer to say she has connections than to say she understands pharmacology.
When questioned by others, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan both frankly denied the rumors, saying, "Those are all rumors. We really don't have any background."
The more they denied it, the more convinced others became, thinking it was just them being modest.
Otherwise, why would the three bigwigs remain silent and only smile when asked?
The couple made a very high-profile appearance, which made them very closely watched.
But later, the people watching them discovered that the couple were law-abiding citizens who neither bullied others nor abused their power for personal gain. They lived like ordinary people in the guard team, so they stopped watching them.
They were keeping an eye on these two people simply because they were afraid that the two individuals with powerful connections would threaten their vested interests.
However, they never touched anything that didn't belong to them. Every month, they received the same benefits as everyone else.
As for that private lounge, although they envied it, it didn't actually harm them. Given the other party's background, they kept quiet.
Although Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan felt extremely restrained during this period, they were actually quite comfortable in the guard team because of the rumors.
No one caused trouble, and the leaders gave him special treatment. In short, everything was fine.
As for those who worried they might be taking advantage of the situation, the two of them always ignored them. They disdained such things and showed no shame in the face of criticism.
Besides, once the door is closed, who will care?
Of course, that's a story for another time.
At that moment, the couple had just finished their evening training and were chatting with Zhu Shiliang and the others on their way home.
"Boss, do you think we should go back? Otherwise, it feels a bit unfair to just leave the Human Resources Bureau like this," Shen Yanming said with a smile.
Zhu Shiliang was embarrassed. "Don't call me 'leader' anymore. We're on equal footing now. I don't dare accept that title. It makes my scalp tingle."
