Another week passed slowly, and Sarah couldn't wait to buy her plane ticket home in advance.
In her eyes, countless Franklins were beckoning to her.
When Sarah received a positive reply from Li Chu that she could return home, she was so happy she almost jumped for joy.
“Sarah, I must remind you that Ms. Angel’s treatment over the past twenty days has been quite effective. I know you need to make money, but I also hope you can see this through to the end. You must bring her here within two weeks to complete all the remaining treatments. Otherwise, not only will all the previous treatments be wasted, but her condition may also worsen!”
During this period of time, although Angel rarely spoke and only answered when asked, Li Chu heard her mention her children more than once.
I also learned that the reason she chose to come and try the drug was also for the sake of her child.
Every time Li Chu mentions her child, her eyes light up.
He didn't want to delay her treatment because of various circumstances, which is why he specifically told Sarah this.
Sarah was taken aback by Li Chu's words. She turned to look at Angel and thought for a moment before saying, "Li, you're a good person, really! Don't worry, I'll definitely bring Angel back within two weeks. I also promise you that if they're unwilling to cover her expenses, I will."
"Thank you, Dr. Li, and thank you, dear Sarah." Angel, who was standing to the side, was already sobbing. These past few days, she had been worried that she wouldn't be able to come back after this trip. As for her coming back on her own? Don't be ridiculous, the round-trip expenses were simply beyond her means.
“You’re welcome. I have my own children too, and I love them very much. Angel, you are a great mother. You should thank yourself more!” Li Chu smiled and shook his head.
Then, as if remembering something, he reached into his pocket, took out a small bottle, and placed it in front of Sarah.
"Sarah, this is a small gift for you, and also a way to thank you for your kindness."
Sarah picked up the small glass bottle with some confusion, looked at the dark substance inside, and asked, "Li, what is this?"
"You have freckles on your face. This is a freckle-removing ointment. You can try it when you get home. Apply it to the freckled areas every night before bed. You don't need to apply too much. Just wash it off in the morning. You should see results in three days."
"Wow, really, Lee?"
"Of course, it's in your hands now, isn't it? But I should remind you that this medicine is for you. I make no guarantees if anyone else uses it."
Sarah's hand clenched tightly around the small bottle in a flash: "Why should I give it to someone else?"
"I'm just reminding you that it might not work for others," Li Chu shrugged.
The staff member in charge of taking notes looked at Dean Li and moved his lips as if he wanted to say something.
The translator noticed his movement, shook his head slightly, and gestured for him to remain silent.
The translator didn't know why Dean Li wanted to give Sarah a gift.
However, when he came out, his section chief, Li Yunli, had given him instructions: whatever Dean Li does, just observe and don't question any of his decisions; whatever thoughts you have, we can discuss them later.
Li Yunli had been working with Li Chu for over two years, and she knew very well what the dean did. Although some of his actions might seem outrageous at times, they all had their own reasons. As a subordinate, you could question him, but you couldn't do it in front of outsiders. You just needed to do your job well.
Li Chu had his own reasons for giving this to Sarah. He did make the ointment himself, but his main purpose in giving it to Sarah was not to thank her. Instead, he wanted to use her to promote the product, just like when he treated her last time.
That's right, the beauty and skincare formulas he submitted have been produced, and this freckle-removing ointment is one of them.
In previous diplomatic activities, quite a few were actually given away, but to be honest, those important figures don't use these kinds of products lightly, so the results were minimal.
Li Chu had reported this matter to his superiors, and that middle-class people like Sarah from Europe and America are actually the potential customers for this kind of product.
If we can find a way to get through her, then it will be possible to export those products abroad.
Of course, this newly established company in China has already applied for certifications in Europe and the United States for these products. Only after passing the certification can they be listed and sold in these countries.

With limited foreign exchange reserves, it's impossible to launch a large-scale propaganda campaign in Europe and America, so this is the only option.
Take it slow, these things can't be rushed.
"Thank you so much, Li, I really like this gift."
Seeing that Sarah seemed about to make another move, Li Chu quickly reached out to stop her, saying, "Alright, Sarah, it's just a small gift, no need to get so excited! Last time you tried to give me a hug as soon as you got out of the car, which already caused me a lot of trouble."
"Hahaha... Li, the men in your country are really too reserved."
"No, we're not being reserved. We just think these intimate gestures are more appropriate to do with someone you love. For example, I only hug my wife! This is due to cultural differences between the two countries."
"Well, Li, maybe that's how it is. I really envy your wife."
"Thanks!"
Why was Sarah so excited after getting this freckle-removing cream, even before using it? It seemed like she was convinced it would work.
It's all because Li Chu's face is right in front of her, and she's also seen Ding Qiunan before. Her fair and delicate skin makes it hard for her not to associate it with good skincare products.
Now that she's actually received a bottle, and it's exactly the spot-removing cream she's been wanting, how could she not be excited?
Li Chu handed the prescription he had written to the translator, and then said to Sarah and Angel, "You are going back to your country this time. I don't know exactly when you will leave, so when you get there, just pick up the medicine you need for a few days. You can buy the rest after you get back to your country. As for where to buy it, Sarah should know."
Sarah nodded nonchalantly: "You can buy it at most pharmacies in Chinatown, but they always have to ask around for ages."
She stood up as she said this, and Angel stood up as well.
"Alright, Li, we're leaving now. Our flight is today. Let's go over there and have your people here prepare the medicine so Angel can drink it right now. I'll definitely bring her back for a follow-up check-up within two weeks."
