The next day, Han Yixian went directly to Gu Qishen to talk about the supplies provided by Du Yuhan.
The disaster is so severe that Gu Qishen's hair is almost turning white from worry. He would kowtow to anyone who could give him food.
He has also lost a lot of weight during this period. As the disaster worsened, he became so anxious that blisters appeared on the corners of his mouth, and he suffered from severe insomnia.
Everyone is waiting for relief from above, but this isn't the only place in the country suffering from the disaster. There are many places in the country that are more severely affected than City C, and difficulties are everywhere.
Gu Qishen considered going to Du Yuhan again to see if she could help, but he didn't want to put her in a difficult position, considering she was a girl. After all, it was a very difficult matter, especially since Han Yixian had already helped him so much.
Today, Han Yixian took the initiative to come to him and said that Du Yuhan could provide them with supplies, which made Gu Qishen so excited that he almost jumped up.
No matter the cost, as long as Du Yuhan can help him resolve this crisis and prevent people in City C from starving to death, he will definitely regard Du Yuhan as his benefactor from now on.
Gu Qishen calmed himself down and asked, "Did you go to Yuhan for help?"
Han Yixian shook his head and said, "It was Yuhan who brought it up with me. She saw the hunger of those people, especially the children, and felt terrible. In the end, she decided to help us."
Although Yuhan repeatedly emphasized that there was no danger, I know she didn't want to put pressure on us. Regardless of what you think, this time we must plan meticulously and not leak any information about Yuhan. We cannot bring her into any danger from our side. Furthermore, we must satisfy Yuhan's requests to the greatest extent possible and not let her suffer any losses.”
Gu Qishen said, "You don't need to tell me that. Yuhan is so righteous and risked her life to help us, she is my benefactor, of course I have to protect her. As for Yuhan's request, of course I will fulfill it. She was just relaying someone else's request, of course I can't let her be in a difficult position. Besides, with you here to oversee things, what else do you have to worry about?"
Han Yixian and Gu Qishen discussed their general strategy and agreed to go to the He family together in the evening.
He Chenglin was also taken aback by his daughter's words that morning. He hadn't expected his daughter to have such power to procure so many supplies.
He knew the disaster was severe and relief was urgently needed. He was worried about his daughter's safety but also wanted her to help the people in City C. He was conflicted. It took Du Yuhan a lot of persuasion before he finally came to his senses.
In the evening, He Chenglin went home first, and then Han Yixian and Gu Qishen arrived one after the other.
Du Yuhan invited them to her home for dinner, and Han Yixian accepted without hesitation.
After finishing their meal, the four of them went into He Chenglin's study.
Gu Qishen spoke first, asking, "Xiaohan, I heard from Yixian that you can get some food. I don't mind how little it is; every little bit helps. It's good if it can feed one more person."
Du Yuhan said, "Brother Gu, to be honest, I struggled with this decision for a long time before making it. Since I've decided to provide you with supplies, it won't be a small amount."
Han Yixian said, "Yuhan, Qi Shen and I have discussed it and we will definitely not make things difficult for you. Even if the other party asks for a high price, we will still buy it. You can have either money or goods. We will prepare everything. However, we can only provide you with some less valuable antiques. Otherwise, we will be suspected of trafficking in cultural relics."
Du Yuhan said, "It doesn't need to be too precious, just something from modern times will do. Don't worry, even if there are some particularly precious ones, I wouldn't be willing to give them to others. I will keep them for myself and won't let them flow out."
And it doesn't necessarily have to be antiques. Gold is probably hard for you to get anyway. Things like badges, commemorative medals, stamps issued less frequently in the past, good wood, and furs would all work. Oh, right, I heard that jade isn't worth much in many places now, so that could also be used to settle a debt. Some less rare gemstones from certain countries would also be acceptable. And anything else I haven't thought of, feel free to suggest, just in case they need it too.”
Du Yuhan thought to herself that many things that are worthless now will be treasures that people will fight to collect in the future.
The three of them were stunned by what Du Yuhan said.
He Chenglin spoke first: "Yuhan, are there people who like our country's badges and stamps?"
Du Yuhan smiled as she saw the three people staring at her blankly. "Of course, some people just like these things. Isn't it easier to get these things?"
Han Yixian said, "Yuhan, I know you're worried about putting us in a difficult position. We're already very grateful that you helped us resolve this crisis, and we can't let you feel any more trouble. Just tell us what their demands are, and we'll do our best to meet them."
"If you like antiques and want to collect them, I have quite a few, all of them are my personal collection, and I'll give them all to you later."
He Chenglin and Gu Qishen both laughed when Han Yixian said this. They thought to themselves that Han Yixian was still trying to make Du Yuhan happy even at a time like this.
He Chenglin was overjoyed. He could see that Han Yixian genuinely loved his daughter and wanted to cherish her dearly. With that, what did he have to worry about?
Du Yuhan was taken aback by Han Yixian's sudden words and rolled her eyes at him. She thought to herself, "Why bring this up now? Can't you see there are other people around? Couldn't you have said it to me privately?"
Han Yixian realized what had happened after Du Yuhan rolled her eyes at him. He touched his nose sheepishly, realizing he had inadvertently shown off his affection in front of his future father-in-law and Gu Qishen. He really didn't mean to.
Gu Qishen said, "Xiaohan, on behalf of the C City government, thank you. Don't worry, we can prepare everything you need. We will never make things difficult for you."
I think we need to be more thorough this time. We can't let anyone find out even the slightest clue about you.
He Chenglin said, "You can entrust the transportation of grain to us. The team has stronger discipline and better security measures."
Han Yixian said, "I will find a way to transfer a batch of supplies from other places. When they are mixed together with the supplies provided by Yuhan, no one will know how much stuff I have brought over."
Du Yuhan said, "Don't just think about getting food from elsewhere; you also need to find solutions from within. Doesn't part of our C City's jurisdiction border the sea? We can try to find a way from the sea."
We can eat all kinds of seafood, such as seaweed and kelp. People living by the sea can't always eat these, but we can trade with them for food or other supplies.
Seaweed and laver are all good things; they can provide essential nutrients.
We can also trade some goods from our city, C, for food from other less severely affected areas. For example, tractors produced by our tractor factory can be used for exchange. Goods produced by other factories can also be included in the exchange list.”
Gu Qishen and Han Yi exchanged a glance after hearing this.
Gu Qishen said, "Xiaohan, your idea is good. This way, we can exchange goods with other regions. It will be convenient for everyone."
