Nothing is forever

"Call you!" Shen Roujiao grinned at Zhou Huaiyue who was behind her.

As he walked past Gu Changgeng, he changed his expression and whispered a threat: "If you call me master again, I will beat you." His hand was still raised and lowered quickly in front of him with a small amplitude.

Junior Gu liked Shen Roujiao the most at this moment. Her expression was lively, obedient and fierce, and she looked particularly pretty. He simply ignored Zhou Huaiyue behind him and quickly followed, "Got it, Senior Sister."

!

"Xiao Gu is not her type." If you say something important three times, maybe you will really believe it.

Inside the house, Gu Jingnian was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. When he saw Shen Roujiao coming in with someone, he casually pointed to the seat next to him and asked, "Jiaojiao is here. Is this Zhou Huaiyue?"

Mother Gu, who was washing fruits, popped her head out of the kitchen and looked up and down at the handsome young man in front of her, "Hello, I'm Chen Hong, we talked on the phone." The old man Chen who loved to smoke Daqianmen cigarettes was her father.

"Hello, County Governor Gu, and Mrs. Gu. I am Zhou Huaiyue."

He bent slightly and made a shallow 15-degree bow, which was relaxed and natural without appearing formal or restrained, and he found the right measure.

Mrs. Gu came out with a fruit plate and asked Chang Geng to take the fruit from her. She placed the plate on the coffee table and pointed to an empty seat. "Hurry up and sit down."

After sitting down, Gu Jingnian talked with Zhou Huaiyue about the plague, then talked about his experience studying medicine, and then talked about his family situation.

As they chatted, they discovered that Zhou Huaiyue's grandmother, Chen Boyu, one of the four famous doctors in Beijing, had treated Gu Changgeng's grandmother, Gu Jingnian's mother. The special ointment prescription that the old lady took every year was made by Chen Boyu.

!

Old Swan, these are some wealthy families.

If they didn't say anything, I really wouldn't be able to tell. Especially Zhou Huaiyue, he never mentioned his family's situation on his own initiative.

If it weren't for County Chief Gu asking, Shen Roujiao would have had no idea that Zhou Huaiyue's background as a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner was so 'prominent' that he actually provided medical treatment and conditioning for the highest-level groups all year round.

Of course, this prominence later became a sharp knife, piercing their original dignity at special times.

"Jiaojiao, I heard from Chang Geng that you dropped out of school. Are you going to do something big?" The topic finally got on track.

"Brother-in-law, I want to open a pharmaceutical factory."

!!!

The three members of the Gu family were shocked and speechless.

!

Brother-in-law? What a messed up title.

"Pharmaceutical factory? You, want to open a pharmaceutical factory?" Gu Changgeng repeated it with a stronger tone. He almost thought he had heard it wrongly.

"right."

Shen Roujiao then told the story of how she went to Nanshan Village to find her mother and become a disciple, and how she got the mysterious prescription. She was very good at telling stories, and her mysterious and fatalistic descriptions made Gu's mother cry, and she lamented that it was not easy for her.

Gu Jingnian's gaze passed over Shen Roujiao and looked at Zhou Huaiyue, "That prescription..." He paused and did not finish.

Master Zhou immediately understood what she meant and said calmly, "Although I don't know the exact proportions, the recipe is a good one. I support her." His words were concise and to the point.

Opening a pharmaceutical factory is a professional matter. Shen Roujiao may be able to run a business because of her courage, but Zhou Huaiyue makes up for her shortcomings. In other words, capital plus think tank not only improves the scientific nature of decision-making, but also increases the success rate of the project.

"Then tell me, what do you want to do?"

Gu Jingnian picked up the teacup, gently blew away the tea leaves floating on it, and took a sip.

There's hope!

As expected, with Zhou Huaiyue's endorsement, her business plan went more smoothly than expected.

"We started as a pharmaceutical factory first. Once we were on track, we set up a research team to solve the problem of growing nameless grass, improve the formula and taste, and develop health products. The pharmaceutical factory will produce results in one year, and the health products will produce results in three to five years."

!

Zhou Huaiyue glanced at the ambitious Shen Roujiao and felt a pang in his heart: She is so brave to achieve such results in just one year. Isn't she a little too confident?

"The three parties contributed capital, the county government provided the factory land, Zhou Huaiyue provided technical support, and I provided machinery and equipment. We solved the funding problem ourselves and did not ask the government for money. After we make a profit, we will pay 20% of the profits to the county finance department every year, excluding taxes."

!

This girl has a very clear plan.

To be honest, even if she wanted to ask the government for help, she couldn't.

Benyuan County is not a wealthy county. The county finances are poor. Several large manufacturing and energy factories are basically not profitable. Although there are medicinal herbs in the mountains, in the planned economy era, medicinal herbs cannot be exchanged for money. Farmers can only sell some secretly to supplement their family income, which has little contribution to the local economic development.

Therefore, after Gu Jingnian took office, he wanted to vigorously develop the Chinese herbal medicine economy. Under the recommendation of Mr. Cui, the county government team visited and inspected the routes of herbal medicine distribution and circulation, and they were more determined to develop. Only when the people have money to earn can the economy be developed and a win-win situation be achieved.

"Go back and write some materials, and we will discuss it in the meeting." The necessary procedures still have to be followed.

While Gu's mother was preparing lunch with the help of her aunt, Shen Roujiao and the county governor were discussing issues related to drug marketing. Gu Changgeng had been attending the class, staring at the senior student intently, his eyes full of admiration and worship.

Zhou Huaiyue became more and more upset. He winked at Xiao Gu and pointed at the door with his chin, indicating that the two of them should go for a walk in the yard.

Gu Changgeng was originally quite happy, but when he was called out, he didn't say a word for a long time and was as silent as a brick. They faced a sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the yard but there was no osmanthus flower. After a long silence, the junior student finally couldn't help but speak first, "Master Zhou, are you okay?" You are not here just to enjoy the scenery, are you?

"I'm her master, not yours." There was no expression on his face, he didn't even look at the people around him, and his tone was very unfriendly.

!

The senior sister specifically reminded him not to call him "Master", so he temporarily changed his words to "Master". As a result, it was obvious that the other party did not appreciate it.

"Master, Master?!" Gu Changgeng hesitated and watched Zhou Huaiyue's reaction suspiciously.

In my sight, he turned his head suddenly, his eyes fierce, "What do you mean?"

Gu Changgeng was completely confused. "Is this address not okay?" Seeing that the other party did not respond, he explained anxiously, "You are my senior sister's teacher, and my senior sister is my teacher. After all, we are from the same school. It is rude to call her by her name."

Wu Yuzi, why are they discussing a title so seriously?

"Just call me Zhou Huaiyue." He said this and turned away with anger in his back. Gu Changgeng, who was left there for no reason, was full of questions and thought: What's wrong with this guy? Did he call me out just to hurt me?

When they went back into the house, both of them looked unhappy and angry. He was angry at her, he was angry at him, but they were both trying to hold it in. Shen Roujiao knew nothing about this and was still talking seriously with County Mayor Gu about the medicinal materials distribution center.

During the meal, Gu's mother and Zhou Huaiyue told some interesting stories about the old naughty boy Chen, and only Shen Roujiao was happy to hear them. After that, they mentioned that they had seen the painting "Ganqi Ziying" at Mayor Lu's house, and there was inevitably another round of greetings.

......

When the master and apprentice left Gu's house and walked towards the south alley, Shen Roujiao's mind was full of details about running a pharmaceutical factory. Not only did she not notice that Zhou Huaiyue was in a bad mood, she also asked inappropriately: "Master, how much of the pharmaceutical factory do you want to own?"

"Shen Roujiao, what makes you think I will definitely do it?" Zhou Huaiyue's face was dark, his voice was cold, and his mood fell to the bottom.

?

What happened to him? I didn't provoke him. Didn't we agree to do it together? Why are you going back on your word so soon? You failed at the critical moment.

"Master, did I do something wrong?" she asked cautiously.

"Hmph, you did a good job." He snorted coldly.

!

Zhou Huaiyue got angry when he heard that it was a sarcastic remark. Although he still didn't understand what was going on, Shen Roujiao decided to appease him first with the attitude of admitting that no matter how many mistakes she made, they were all her fault.

"Master." She tried to make him happy in a coquettish manner, but was ruthlessly rejected.

"From now on, don't call me master. I will not and cannot get involved in your affairs." Zhou Huaiyue's words were not only sharp, but his eyes also became cold. His lips were pursed into an angry straight line, and his whole face was serious to the point of being frightening.

Shen Roujiao was irritated. They were like two people carrying water to drink, one of them suddenly gave up, and the other couldn't lift the bucket of water.

Just like a clear sky, it is suddenly covered with dark clouds, and the depressing feeling makes people afraid to approach.

!

What he ate at noon was not food, but gunpowder! He kept shooting.

"Didn't I tell you that you will always be my master? Don't be angry, I was wrong. Okay, master." She coaxed him, with her own hands.

As long as you are willing to bow your head, there is no one you can't please.

Many times, when people lose their temper, they just want to hear a few nice words.

easy.

"Shen Roujiao! Even if I am your master, why should I take you to dig herbs, why should I help you run a medicine factory, and why should I be involved in every step of your plan?"

He is her master, but also more than her master. Does she understand this?

!

What does that mean? Did he really regret it? He regretted being her master, being dragged down by her, being tied down by her, being bound by her...

Without him, she would lose her wings; without her, he would lose nothing.

He really has the qualifications and the ability to not care about a disciple. Zhou Huaiyue is right to regret and to leave.

Abandoning her and leaving here, he didn't belong here in the first place. However, after experiencing the nobility of life and lamenting the sufferings of the world, he finally wanted to return to his own circle.

"So, nothing is forever, right?" Shen Roujiao asked.

Splendor is fleeting.

All the beautiful things in the world are like dreams, bubbles, dewdrops, and lightning, and are the hardest to last.

She knew the answer, she had known it a long time ago, but she still wanted to believe it again, try again... Unfortunately, she still failed.

The endless disappointment in Shen Roujiao's eyes was intimidating.

"Do you understand what I'm saying?" She must understand that the word "Master" that he cared so much about was his exclusive preference for her, his special affection for her, and a certain responsibility he wanted to shoulder.

Why can she not care.

"I see! So thank you. The matter with the pharmaceutical factory is written off. I can handle it myself."

The pharmaceutical factory must be established. Money is not everything, but it can solve 90% of the problems. Without Zhou Huaiyue, she can hire a technical consultant who understands medicinal materials at a high price.

"Haha, Shen Roujiao. You are so amazing..."

Understood.

She didn't need him at all, she could still run without him. All this was just wishful thinking.

He is not that great, not that important. Without him, Zhou Huaiyue, the herbal medicine station can be established, and the pharmaceutical factory can also be established. In her eyes, his master is just a title, no different from others.

"Senior sister!" Gu Changgeng, who had originally chased after them to make a false accusation, watched the entire process of the two people quarreling. Although he didn't quite understand why they were quarreling, he could see that Shen Roujiao was very sad.

"Senior, why are you crying?"
