"Pei Hei Tou, what happened? Did you fail?" Zou Zhiguo emerged from the darkness, his face clearly mocking, having listened to the whole thing.
"You've gone to a lot of trouble to eavesdrop on everything."
"Hehe, this girl has a business mind, she's even trying to do business with us. Let me see the ointment, it might really be something good."
Dodging Zou Zhiguo's outstretched hand, Pei Han kicked him, saying, "Didn't Hou Jun get a cut in the mountains today? Let him use it."
"Didn't Junzi apply the medicine?"
"What's the use of applying medicine? It's already scratching the flesh. I've suffered like this before. It burns at night and I can't sleep at all."
"Then, shall we give it a try?"
"Give it a try. The little girl wouldn't dare to harm anyone. If it really works, we can suffer less in the future."
In the dormitory, Hou Jun, who was in so much pain that he couldn't sleep, was staring wide-eyed and grimacing when the door was suddenly opened and the lights were turned on.
"Company commander, platoon leader, what brings you here?" Hou Jun stood up and saluted, herbal medicine seeping from the gauze on his leg.
"Sit down, sit down. Come, try this ointment." Pei Han waved for people to sit down.
"What ointment?" Hou Jun assumed it was given by the school doctor, so he obediently sat down and unwrapped the gauze.
The gauze was removed, revealing a bloody, mangled wound more than ten centimeters long, torn by thorns. "Tsk...it looks painful. You'll have a long scar from now on."
"Hey, it's embarrassing for a soldier like us not to have scars. What's wrong with being a man?" Hou Jun gave a shy smile, but the pain made his smile a little distorted.
Pei Han glanced at him with amusement, took out the ointment, and then squeezed it onto Hou Jun's wound.
The crystal-clear green ointment felt cool and comfortable. Hou Jun was taken aback and exclaimed, "Company Commander, Platoon Leader, where did this ointment come from? It feels so good! It was burning just now, but it feels much better after I applied it."
"Feels good? The pain is gone?" Pei Han was a little surprised. It worked so quickly?
"Hmm, it doesn't hurt anymore, it feels really good, cool and refreshing. Before, it was burning hot, and the pain kept me awake." Hou Jun wrapped up the gauze and the herbs on it, then threw it aside. He didn't want to roll the gauze around anymore; the herbs were too much of a hassle.
Pei Han glanced at the name of the ointment: 'External Injury Repair Ointment'. It couldn't be simpler or clearer.
"Get some rest, let's go." The two got up and unanimously decided to check the effects of the medicine again tomorrow.
Hou Jun slept soundly that night, and the pain from his wounds completely subsided overnight. As for the gauze and other supplies, they had already been placed on a cabinet to the side.
Early in the morning, Zou Zhiguo and Pei Han appeared at the door of Hou Jun's dormitory at the same time.
Ask yourself, who wouldn't panic if they opened their eyes first thing in the morning and saw two leaders standing by their bedside?
"Ahhh... Company Commander, Platoon Leader, what's wrong with you two?! It's so early in the morning, it's really scary!!" It was barely dawn, and the start time for morning exercises was six o'clock, but it was only five o'clock. These two hadn't even turned on their lights, and they were sitting side by side on the opposite bunks. Who were they trying to scare to death?
"Hehe, I came to see you." Pei Han grinned.
Pei Han got up and turned on the light. The two of them once again moved closer to Hou Jun's leg. In less than seven hours, the swelling on his leg had subsided considerably, and the wound was closing up. Compared to the bloody mess of last night, the effect was incredibly obvious.
"My goodness, this is good stuff!! I used up most of it for you last night, what a waste!!" Pei Han scratched his head in distress.
Hou Jun: ...
"Does it still hurt?" Zou Zhiguo asked, his eyes fixed on Hou Jun's wound.
"Reporting to the company commander, it doesn't hurt anymore, but it aches a little when I walk. The ointment you applied last night was amazing!" Hou Jun said after standing up and taking a few steps.
Zou Zhiguo's face was full of joy. Many of them had suffered from similar wounds, and it would take at least three days for the pain to subside. The effectiveness of this ointment was simply amazing, it was so useful! If this were widely available in the army, everyone would suffer so much less!
“Pei Heitou, let’s go find Fu Le.”
Pei Han: ...
"What's the rush? Fu Le hasn't gotten up yet, it's not time for morning exercises." Pei Han grabbed his friend and laughed, "Let's wait a bit, good things come to those who wait. She won't get lost. If we wait a little longer, she still has to do morning exercises."
"Yeah, haha... I just can't wait when I find something good."
After a day of training, it was already past six o'clock, and Fu Le was unsurprisingly called to the instructor's office.
Upon seeing the ointment on the desk, Fu Le knew that things were in good shape.
“Little girl, you’re not that old, but you’re quite shrewd.” Pei Han could tell what Fu Le was thinking at a glance from her calm expression and gaze. As a reconnaissance soldier, his greatest pride was his ability to observe.
"I just want soldiers who serve the country and its people to have access to the best medicine when they are injured and to eat the best rations when they are hungry. What's wrong with that?" Fu Le said with a faint smile.
Even if she were to be reborn and experience many things, she didn't think she could hide her little schemes from specially trained scouts.
“That’s right, absolutely right. Don’t listen to Pei Heitou. He’s just being a smart aleck.” Zou Zhiguo patted Fu Le on the shoulder, rolled his eyes at Pei Han, and told him to watch his words. Kids these days are very sensitive, especially a little girl like her. He should be even more careful so she doesn’t offend him later.
Zou Zhiguo asked Fu Le to sit down. "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Zou Zhiguo. You can call me Uncle Zou. I am the main person in charge of this military training mission. This is Pei Han, your chief instructor. You know him. You can also call him Uncle Pei in private. He is 35 years old, not young anymore."
“Hey, why are you bringing up my age? Fu Le, he’s not young either, he’s three years older than me, he’s 38.” Pei Han laughed angrily.
"Hello, Uncle Zou. Hello, Uncle Pei." Fu Le seized the opportunity. Although neither of them mentioned their rank in the army, it wouldn't be too low.
"Good, good, good," Zou Zhiguo smiled and pointed to the ointment on the table, saying, "This ointment of yours has amazing effects. You said before that it was produced by the Minyan Pharmaceutical Company in your village?"
"Yes, there is a Minyan Pharmaceutical Company in our village. They have contracted a mountain and hired people to grow medicinal herbs."
Zou Zhiguo listened quietly, "How much does this ointment cost when it's sold to the public?"
"It costs 15 yuan per vial to the public, and each vial weighs 20 grams."
"So the price is negotiable?" This ointment is so effective, if only it could be cheaper...
"Do you have the person in charge's phone number? I'd like to speak with him. However, I also need to report the ointment issue to higher authorities."
“Of course.” Fu Le wrote Lu Shi’s phone number on the table. “This is my brother. You can just say you got the number from me.”
Pei Han looked at the shrewd girl in front of him, somewhat amused and exasperated. "You silly girl. By the way, your compressed biscuits tasted pretty good, give me some more."
"Give me some too, I want some too," Zou Zhiguo said immediately.
Neither of them mentioned ordering compressed biscuits, and Fu Le wasn't in a hurry, readily agreeing.
Fu Le went back to his dormitory and came back with three kilograms of compressed biscuits, one kind each of meat and seafood flavors.
"Hey, Lao Pei, look at this! There are even chunks of meat inside. It tastes so fresh!" As soon as Fu Le left, Zou Zhiguo immediately opened a package and tasted it. "Delicious, really delicious. If we eat this during training exercises, everyone will be less resentful."
"It's really good, much better than ours. I wonder what the price is. I'll go talk to the logistics department about it later."
"Why didn't you ask the girl what the price was? Didn't she say she also has shares?"
"That little girl is too clever. I wanted to make her anxious, haha, but I didn't expect her to be so calm."
"Your temper is really something, you're just bullying a child."
"If this is a child, then all the kids under our command are just little brats. Humph! They're so clever, I don't know what kind of family they came from, they already have their own careers at such a young age. It's really infuriating to compare people like that." Thinking of his two devils at home, Pei Han wished he could be reborn.
The military training was halfway over, and the once frail students had become much more energetic, but their skin had become darker and rougher.
"Fu Le, how do you take care of your skin? We've all gotten tanned and our skin is so rough, how come your skin is so fair and smooth?" The new girl, Bai Yao, walked over with a mirror. Actually, she had wanted to ask for a while, but Fu Le had a very aloof personality, and she didn't know how to approach her.
In order to improve her skin, she mustered up her courage.
"This is a rice set, two thousand a set." Fu Le took out a five-piece set from the cabinet.
"What is this? Flowery Beauty? Oh, I know Flowery Beauty, my aunt uses this brand of face cream, it's super expensive and has a very short shelf life, only seven days. How long is the shelf life of yours? Hmm? Half a year, so much, two thousand yuan, if it lasts for half a year, it doesn't seem that expensive."
"A beautiful outfit? Let me see, is it a new product?"
"Whitening? Oh, and they even have eye cream."
"Let me see, let me see, I have fine lines around my eyes."
When it came to skin, the five usually quiet girls suddenly became very talkative and chattered on and on.
Fu Le hadn't expected the "Beautiful Face and Moonlit Night" series to become so popular. However, the company's revenue was increasing exponentially every month, so such popularity was to be expected. Besides, the advertising department had also invested a considerable amount.
Fu Le generously let everyone try it once, and without exception, all five of them became fans. They planned to go out and buy it during their holidays. As a result, Fu Le became the most popular person in the dormitory when the military training was halfway through.
Fu Le didn't expect that the incident at the start of the semester would have a follow-up. On the second day after returning to school from military training, after finishing the last class, Fu Le was cornered by Zhou Qian at the library entrance.
"Hey classmate, thanks for the start of the semester. I'd like to treat you to a meal, is that alright? By the way, my name is Zhou Qian, and I'm a sophomore majoring in the Department of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine."
Looking at the handsome young man dressed in casual sportswear, Fu Le found it hard to reconcile his good student appearance with the punk-style look he sported on the first day of school.
"No need, it's just a small favor." Fu Le declined and turned to enter the library.
"Fu Le, can we be friends?" The boy didn't stop her anymore, but followed Fu Le into the library.
Fu Le: ...
"Are you very free?" Fu Le paused, feeling a little uncomfortable with such an enthusiastic young man. She didn't have many friends, lacked social skills, and didn't like socializing.
"I'm not free, I just want to get to know you." Awkwardly at Fu Le's indifference, Zhou Qian didn't know what to say. He really just wanted to be friends with Fu Le, and it was the first time he had encountered such an unapproachable girl.
"I need to read, I don't have time to chat." After saying that, Fu Le went into the library, and this time, Zhou Qian did not follow.
As the sun set, at the library entrance, the handsome and tall young man, having never been rejected like this before, awkwardly scratched his head and walked away dejectedly.
In the library.
Yin Feiyue waved and pointed to the seat she had taken next to her.
Fu Le walked over, put the book down, and asked, "When did you arrive?"
"Less than five minutes. Hehe. Here, this milk is good." Yin Feiyue handed over a glass of milk.
"Thank you." Fu Le took it and put it aside.
Xingyao Residence.
"Is everything done?" Fu Le returned home unsurprised to find Sun Jian and Xu Mu there.
“Yes, all the documents are in order. This is the property certificate, and this is all the registration documents for the company. As for the food factory…” Sun Jian laid out the documents one by one, “it’s the machinery. In China, only one state-owned enterprise has this kind of machinery, but this machinery… We went to the site and saw that it was very noisy when it was running. When it was turning over and frying, it wasn’t very even, and some of it would even turn over and become raw. I heard from elsewhere that there is a company in M country that sells this kind of equipment, specializing in military rations. The equipment is very mature, but the price is not low.”
"Then let's go buy it."
...
"President Lu sent a transport team over, saying they're here to pick up raw materials."
Where are you staying?
"Two people have arrived and are staying at our place," Xu Mu said.
"Okay, deliver it to them at seven o'clock tomorrow morning."
"good."
"Wang Li, you and Xu Mu come with me to the US. Sun Jian, how's the recruitment going at the factory?"
"The transport team has gained another 58 people, all of whom have been retired within the past year. General Manager Lu has sent half of them to the factory in Guangzhou. They are scheduled to set off in a couple of days."
"That's fine, keep hiring. The responsibility for the drivers will be assigned to individuals. Major mistakes resulting in the loss of goods are absolutely unacceptable. Minor mistakes exceeding ten times will result in dismissal."
"yes."
Fu Le made some further arrangements for the work, and then the three of them left.
Fu Le didn't get much rest that night. The mixing machine worked all night. The consumption of Qingjingcao was huge. Even if only a very small amount of Qingjingcao liquid was needed to make it, the sales volume was too large. The original quantity of 2,500 had now been reduced to less than 600. At the current rate of shipment, it could last for at most a year.
The next day.
"What new formula?" Lu Shi's heart trembled when he heard early this morning that Fu Le was going to reduce the sales of Hua Rong Yue Mao (a brand of cosmetics) and add new products. The current stock was snapped up as soon as it came out, and there was so much demand that they couldn't keep up with unpacking the boxes. Buyers were asking for more stock every day.
Now, not only are they not adding more, but they're also reducing production. What are they trying to do? Don't they see how crazy those women are about their faces?
