Chapter 725: Don’t alert the enemy After dinner, the children were tired of playing with their new toys and were coaxed to sleep by Shen Mo.
Lu Qingyang stood up, took out the ointment from his luggage, and placed it on the coffee table in front of his parents.
"Dad, Mom, I brought back some ointment produced by the factory when I came back from Suicheng this time. It's really effective for bruises and muscle aches. You should keep some on hand and give it a try."
Ding Panyun was gesturing with the cashmere scarf Lu Qingyang gave her. Upon hearing this, she put the scarf down and picked up a box of ointment curiously.
She first looked at the plain packaging and nodded, "Okay, let's try it."
Fang Zhongwen nodded slightly and placed a few boxes of ointment on the armrest of the sofa where he often sat.
"There are so many. I'll give them to my soldiers to try out when the time comes."
The next day, when Ding Panyun went to the art troupe, he took the ointment with him, but he didn't think much of it.
As soon as I walked into the rehearsal room, I heard suppressed sobbing.
I saw a group of girls in training clothes gathered together, and in the middle was an eight or nine-year-old actress named Xiaolin. She was pale, with cold sweat on her forehead and her right ankle was swollen.
The military doctor beside her had just examined her and was frowning as he said, "It's a ligament strain, not a serious injury. She needs at least two weeks of rest before she can move her body and even dance again."
When Xiaolin heard this, his tears fell even more, and his voice was filled with despair:
"Half a month? Then...what about the consolation performance next Wednesday? 놖's solo dance... Captain, 놖 is sorry..."
The performance next Wednesday is very important. It is Kobayashi's first time as a solo dancer and she has been preparing for it for half a year.
Ding Panyun's heart tightened, and he walked over quickly: "What's going on?"
A girl nearby quickly reported, "Captain Ding, Xiaolin twisted his ankle when he landed from that big jump just now."
The military doctor added, "Captain Ding, your injuries do require rest. If you rush to seek treatment, you might suffer from sequelae."
"Then take a good rest and don't affect your health."
Although I feel sorry, I have no choice but to do this to ensure the effect of the show.
When Xiaolin heard this, he became even more anxious.
Ding Panyun comforted her and took a few ointments: "Look at you, there will be many opportunities in the future, but your own health is more important, so apply some first.
She told Xiaolin to rest today and asked the other team members to continue practicing.
껩 didn't take it too seriously, just hoping that the ointment could provide some relief.
The next morning, Xiaolin felt that the swelling in her ankle had subsided a little, and the pain had lessened. She tried to move her ankle gently, and although it still hurt, it was no longer that piercing pain.
On the third day, even more surprising changes occurred.
The swelling has basically subsided, and the bruises have faded a lot. Xiaolin can already hold on to the wall and walk slowly and carefully!
She couldn't believe it and ran to tell Ding Panyun excitedly.
Ding Panyun was surprised and happy to see Xiaolin's ankle, which had obviously improved, and hurried to the military doctor for a follow-up check.
After a careful examination, the military doctor said in disbelief: "Strange, at this rate, after a couple more days of rest, maybe you can try some simple dance moves. But you must pay attention to the limits, you can't force it!"
Everyone was impressed by this small ointment.
At the performance the following Wednesday, Kobayashi finally performed despite the injury. Although his movements were more restrained than usual, he completed the task successfully and won warm applause.
Xiao Lin had been thinking about this matter and came to Ding Panyun to express his gratitude.
"Captain Ding, thank you so much. Where did you get that ointment? I asked the military doctor, and he said you brought it yourself. It's really effective. I want to stock up on some so I can use it if I get injured in the future."
Ding Panyun didn't expect that the ointment he gave out casually would have such a good effect.
"This...this is what my son brought from Suicheng for me. If you want it, I still have some here..."
Xiao Lin was excited: "Yes, of course."
After returning, Ding Panyun mentioned this matter: "Qingyang, I didn't expect the effect of this ointment to be so good."
Before Ding Panyun finished speaking, he heard Fang Zhongwen, who was reading a newspaper next to him, clear his throat, put down the newspaper, and asked casually but seriously:
"Qingyang, do you have any more of the plaster you gave me last time? Several of my veteran subordinates have used it and have had great reactions. They've had minor injuries and pains during training and it's been very effective. They've been asking if I can get more."
Lu Qingyang said in a relaxed tone: "We have some ointment. If you want it, I'll have someone send some more over."
This is the first step in building a good reputation.
Just when the reputation was improving, something happened again.
He received a call from Zhou Fang, "Qingyang, 놆놖, Zhou Fang, there's something going on in Suicheng, and I need to report to you."
"What's going on?" Lu Qingyang's expression froze.
"Two thorny issues. First, the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee of the Second Pharmaceutical Factory came today. They ostensibly wanted to exchange ideas with a sister unit, but they were secretly trying to buy out our ointment formula. Second, and even more disgusting, comrades from the supply and marketing cooperatives in the districts and counties below reported that they were selling dog-skin plasters made in homemade workshops and using imitation packaging. They used some low-quality medicinal materials and were deceiving the people. Although the volume is large now, it's damaging our reputation!"
He had anticipated these problems, but he had not expected them to come so soon.
He pondered for a moment and spoke calmly:
"Let's follow the rules and handle them separately. The formula will definitely sell, so be tough. As for the counterfeits and inferior goods, you should immediately go to the street printing company and find a way to print a simple, conspicuous but unique mark on the packaging of our ointment. Have Kong Laoliu greet the experienced workers at the supply and marketing cooperatives and cooperative stores and tell them the identifying features of the genuine product. Ask them to help keep an eye out for any counterfeits. Report them to us immediately, and we will compile the information and report it to the industrial and commercial authorities."
In fact, the latter problem is only a small one. Lu Qingyang is most worried about the former problem.
If it was really acquired by another factory, it would be like making wedding clothes for others. He had to think of a good way to solve this problem once and for all, so he asked Zhou Fang to delay for a while.
…
This day, Lu Qingyang drew a few more drawings and prepared to send them to Professor Qian. Coincidentally, an old friend of Professor Qian who worked in a research institute under the Ministry of Agriculture came to visit.
