Zhu Tian: The Fiery Years Begin with Taking Qin Huairu as a Concubine

Chapter 214 I have to give it a try

Chen Xueru collected money from more than twenty people, and Da Huangyu was so exhausted that her hands and feet were weak.

Now it was Qin Huairu's turn to ask people to line up outside, while Sister Xu Huizhen came into the warehouse to help collect and distribute the medicines.

Chen Xueru looked at the growing queue outside and couldn't help but ask again:

"Brother Kaiwu! Why are so many people rushing to buy the medicine?!"

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and whispered:

"We are the exclusive dealer in Peking! The penicillin in the Tiantan Research Institute is not stable enough to be kept in reserve. Many people come here to stock up on medicine, just in case."

"Those who prescribe a single shot are basically wealthy people, while others come to buy backup medicine. Maybe the prescriptions are fake prescriptions that are requested from the hospital."

"It's even possible that those so-called patients are not sick at all and come here specifically to get some medicine."

I saw that they had become proficient in the operations and had entered the assembly line operations.

There were more than 200 large yellow croakers. There were so many of them on the table that I was afraid the table would collapse.

Zhang Kaiwu put it in a cloth bag, walked around the warehouse, and secretly put it away in the storage space.

I tore off the labels of the penicillin I had brought from the United States, and kept twenty bottles as emergency supplies, and mixed the rest into the penicillin.

In the queue for buying penicillin, two people who wanted to take advantage appeared and came with money in hand.

Zhang Kaiwu collected the bills with a smile, gave them change, and told them to wait for future arrangements.

A family member knew the truth and left without saying a word.

One of the family members asked cautiously:

"Professor Zhang! Why can others get the medicine, but our master can't?"

Zhang Kaiwu looked at him carefully and explained to him patiently:

"Because other people's situations are more urgent, of course they should be given priority. Tell your master not to worry and go back and wait!"

"Don't worry! Let's go! When your master is assigned to a position, I will naturally call your family to inform them."

Chen Xueru watched him leave and asked in a low voice:

"Brother Kaiwu! Don't you really know the situation and want to use money to buy medicine? "

Zhang Kaiwu rubbed her and said with a smile:

"How could there be such an idiot? You can't even buy a bun outside for 1.5 yuan!"

"People like this are probably the type who value money over life, and they want to try to see if they can take advantage of them first."

"Don't worry, this kind of person will come back to test us a second time, or even a third time. Just remember, keep your business as business!"

Chen Xueru gave him a coquettish look and said, "Is that what you call official business?"
She asked doubtfully:

"Then why did you explain it to him so politely!?"

Zhang Kaiwu said with a smile:
"They take us for fools. I have to try to scare them. Let them wait for the penicillin at home, otherwise they will not believe it!"

"In order to make them believe this, I must patiently explain it to them."

Huizhen covered her mouth and couldn't help laughing!

It was busy until noon and there was still a long queue. Even lunch was delivered by the nurse.

There were also some penicillin researchers who came to rent fermentation tanks and occasionally came to chat with Zhang Kaiwu outside.

The male researchers would smoke a Camel cigarette to reconnect with each other.

And those bullshit female researchers, those swallows.

When it was time to change the fermentation tanks, they ran very fast.

You don't have to do the research work, but you have to rent the fermentation tank at Professor Zhang's house.

Huairu's business of renting fermentation tanks mostly depends on their support.

The most outrageous thing.

Many times, the swallows took the fermentation jars away without using them at all, and when they returned them, they didn’t even need to be disinfected.

Zhang Kaiwu could also understand, everyone was just doing it for the work flow!
Even if they were just pretending, the swallows were very professional and at least knew when to change the jars.

.....................

In the afternoon.

The man who claimed that his master was a relative of Director Chen of the Patrol Department also sent someone.

A lady dressed in gold and silver put a small package on the table and handed it to him, crying and saying:
"Professor Zhang! Our housekeeper is ignorant and has offended you."

"I apologize to you, but this matter has nothing to do with my master!"

"The master is still waiting for medicine to treat the disease and save people, Professor Zhang, please help!"

Zhang Kaiwu opened the package and looked inside. There were four large yellow croakers. He smiled and said:

"What are you doing? Are you trying to bribe us? If the butler is wrong, just punish him severely. Take the things back. Don't bother with these things. When there is medicine in the future, I will arrange it for you naturally."

The lady was stunned for a moment, then quickly said with a smile:

"Professor Zhang! You are mistaken. This package is not mine! Professor Zhang! Please help me! I will punish the housekeeper severely for causing such a big trouble."

"We have always been an honest and kind-hearted family. How could such a disaster happen to us?"

Zhang Kaiwu held a cigarette in his mouth and said with a smile:

"Since this is such a misunderstanding, you should go back first. There will be a quota of penicillin tomorrow. I will ask the nurse to deliver the medicine to you."

The lady-like woman hurriedly left, thanking him profusely.

Chen Xueru said with a smile:
"Brother Kaiwu! She has already given in and doubled the price to make amends. Why don't you just give her the medicine?"

Zhang Kaiwu explained with a smile:

"We must be honest in what we do and never give people a reason to accuse us! If we say there is no medicine, then there is no medicine. Let her master worry for another day, otherwise her family will forget to punish the housekeeper."

"Also! Don't think that she came here to apologize today. She did it all to get the medicine. She has already formed a feud with her family. Don't give her any handle to such a person."

"Even if it's just a conversation between two people, don't let yourself be the one who is at a disadvantage. You must have a reason and a basis."

Qin Huairu said with a smile:
"Brother Kaiwu! Their housekeeper is too bad, isn't he? He did these things behind the master's back and made us enemies."

Chen Xueru said with a smile:
"Sister Huairu! How is that possible? The housekeeper learns everything from the master. They are together all day long. How can there be such a stupid master? Those who don't know the housekeeper's moral character are probably pretending. This lady must know the situation. Maybe she even went to look for someone this morning."

"In the end, no one was willing to help, and I had no other choice but to come here and admit my mistake. Otherwise, why did you come so late!?"

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and thought, Sister Xueru, what you said is right.

When a family that is full of good deeds and a kind master has a wicked servant, it is something that only happens in fairy tales.

Being together all day long, all they learn is the ways of taking advantage of others' power.

How could the master not know?

What a liar! ?

The opposite of.

If you want to know what kind of person a householder is like, just look at his housekeeper.

The housekeeper of a wealthy family is the true reflection of the owner of the household.

This family is a relative of Director Chen in the Patrol Department, so it must be true.

But he can't be a close relative. If he had that relationship, penicillin would have been arranged long ago. Why does he need to come here?

Also, now that Mayor Chen is here, Zhang Kaiwu still dares not give him penicillin. Why is he afraid of the mayor of Beiping? ?

Because of the food storage work in the medical school, they have long since fallen out with the Chen family and they no longer have any contact with each other!
There were almost two or three hundred large yellow croakers, so Zhang Kaiwu took a bag and took them out, then walked around and collected them.

Looking at the people queuing outside, Chen Xueru and Huizhen were really eye-opening.

When it was almost time for dinner, there were still many people queuing up.

Can't delay getting off work, Zhang Kaiwu stood there and said:
"Leave the ten people in front to continue queuing, and the others can come tomorrow morning. It's time to get off work today."

"Sister Huairu, give them a number plate and continue to apply in order tomorrow."

Huairu and Huizhen took the list and were each given a number plate.

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and repeatedly emphasized that there would be more penicillin tomorrow, so don't worry, and then those people left.

After taking care of the last ten people, Sister Xueru made a rough estimate when it was time to close the store in the afternoon.

There are at least a thousand large yellow croakers.

.....................

After working all day, Zhang Kaiwu was too lazy to cook dinner, so a group of people went to the cafeteria of the medical school to eat.

While walking on the road, Xueru asked curiously:

"Brother Kaiwu! This is such a profitable business, how long can this business last? "

Zhang Kaiwu said with a smile:
"It won't last long, three or four days at most. After that it might become dull and you can handle it easily."

Sister Xueru asked with a smile, "Has the penicillin from the research institute been sold out?"

Zhang Kaiwu said with a smile:
"No! The production of that penicillin is relatively stable, but there are no customers. This is a rare opportunity, and those wealthy families will rush to buy the good medicine in the next few days."

"Those who need to see a doctor will get cured, and those who need to take medicine will get it."

"The rest are poor and can't afford it! They can't even get through the main door of the hospital, let alone buy penicillin!?"

Sister Huairu said with a smile:

"Brother Kaiwu! How much money did our family earn today!?"

Zhang Kaiwu rubbed her and asked:

"We have to give some of this money to other old men, and give some benefits to others. In the end, there won't be much left, maybe only 700 to 800 large yellow croakers."

"This is because Dean Zhu and Dean Wang don't have to give it, otherwise there really wouldn't be much left."

"Sister Huairu! Why do you care so much?"

Huairu looked at him with charming eyes and whispered:

"So much money! How many children can we support with this!?"

Zhang Kaiwu confronted her and slapped her in the face, making her eyes tear up.

She hugged him and acted coquettishly, looking aggrieved.

Sisters Xueru and Huizhen, even though they have been doing business for many years, cannot imagine how much money this is.

They all knew that there must be something fishy about Zhang Kaiwu's previous income at the research institute, and that Tian Tian had cooked the accounts. They didn't have a specific amount of money the family earned.

Zhang Kaiwu didn't talk about these things, and they didn't dare to ask about them.

This time they were personally involved in the penicillin trade, and the income from penicillin could be turned in as cash. The extra yellow croakers had to be divided, and a lot of them were given to the family.

………………

A few British swallows were also on their way to dinner, and they drove past in a Porsche and stopped.

Greeted Zhang Kaiwu with a smile:

"Hi! Dear Zhang! Is this your wife?"

"Oh! Your wife is very pretty! She suits you very well."

"Dear senior! Do you want to go dancing tonight? I want to eat you."

"Let's go have fun tonight, Senior."

Zhang Kaiwu greeted them with a smile. He was always kind to those who helped him gain experience points.

He introduced with a smile:

"This is my wife Chen Xueru!"

Several swallow girls smiled and praised Chen Xueru's beauty, and they looked so sincere.

It didn't affect their plans to go dancing or party with their dear senior Zhang.

Zhang Kaiwu really knew that they were talking nonsense, and everyone had different aesthetic views. How could Chen Xueru be beautiful in their eyes, but the swallows could show sincerity.

Fortunately, Chen Xueru didn’t understand what they said and could only see the kindness on their faces, otherwise she would have cursed.

Chen Xueru hugged him, pointed at the beautiful red car with a smile, and said jokingly:

"Brother Kaiwu! I want to buy a car, too. I don't want that jeep, it's too ugly. I want a beautiful car like this."

Zhang Kaiwu said with a smile:
"No! We already have enough cars at home, two jeeps, why would you buy one?"

"With your income level, you can just ride a bicycle. If you can't even afford gas, why buy a car!?"

A swallow girl who knew Chinese said with a smile:
"Dear Zhang! Your wife is right. A woman cannot refuse beautiful things. The Jeep is really too ugly."

"Mrs. Zhang! I'll give you a Porsche."

Chen Xueru exclaimed in surprise, "Ah!" She quickly explained:
"Thank you! What I wanted was something he gave me. I also knew he wouldn't agree. Actually, we were just joking as a couple."

The swallow said with a smile:

"It's not a bad thing to have a car. You can leave it there if you don't want to drive it."

"It doesn't matter! I'll give it to Professor Zhang and ask him to pass it on to you! Don't refuse it. You don't know how much help dear Zhang has been to our work!"

Despite Chen Xueru's repeated refusals, the Swallow Girls said it was okay and ran away laughing.

Chen Xueru asked curiously:

"Brother Kaiwu! Why are they so enthusiastic? Am I causing you trouble?"

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"No! You don't have to worry about it. They sent these things with money from the country. Maybe it will be a credit after they are sent out?"

"The Willys Jeep that Huairu owned was also given to her by someone else."

Chen Xueru smiled and asked:

"why?"

Zhang Kaiwu rubbed her and said with a smile:

"I didn't want to tell you this. They are all female commercial spies from other countries. I sent these things just to do them a favor."

Chen Xueru and the others asked in a surprised voice:

"Corporate espionage!? How scary!"

“Is this what it’s like!?”

"Brother Kaiwu! They don't even have a gun!?"

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"What do you think corporate espionage looks like? A murderous look on your face?"

"More than 70 percent of the foreigners and researchers in the institute are industrial spies."

“Even if they are not foreigners, half of them are industrial spies.”

Qin Huairu and the others were all stunned after hearing this.

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"So I asked you before, don't pay attention to these things, don't deal with the people in the institute."

"It's not that I'm afraid of the impact on me, but I'm afraid that I might hurt you unintentionally. There's nothing wrong with staying away from them."

Qin Huairu patted her chest and whispered:

"It's so scary! Brother Kaiwu, I know, I'll ignore them."

Zhang Kaiwu said with a smile:
"You don't need to be afraid. If there is no important reason, they will not take extreme measures. Everyone wants to survive, not the desperate type."

"They are similar to courtesans in nature, using relatively gentle means, mostly bribed with money and seduced with beauty. You think of them as international courtesans, which is pretty much what they are."

"Just eat, drink, play around, make friends and build relationships with others. Get some intelligence if there's a chance, and just muddle through if there's no chance."

Chen Xueru asked with a smile:
"Can they achieve results by working like this?!"

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"You are so naive. Their results are very good! War is not a one-man battle. It involves many aspects."

"It's just like life at home. You have to consider everything, including food, clothing, housing and transportation."

"Sugar-coated bullets are the most powerful weapon, because few people can resist a smile, especially when there is something to gain."

Chen Xueru asked with a smile:
"Why are there so many commercial spies in the Penicillin Research Institute?!"

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and explained:

"Because the penicillin research in the institute is the hottest thing right now, and many countries don't have it."

"Everyone is here for this. Many female business spies have passed on intelligence. In the past, only the United States could produce penicillin, but now everyone has started to set up factories. Do you think they have made a great contribution?!"

Chen Xueru said with a smile:
"We should be more careful in the future and not associate with them, and we won't go to the Penicillin Research Institute."

Zhang Kaiwu said with a smile:
"Go ahead and feel free! It's good that you know this. You won't be their target."

Qin Huairu asked doubtfully:

"Brother Kaiwu! Why?"

Zhang Kaiwu rubbed her and said with a smile:

"Because your education level is limited, you are just a bunch of elementary school students who don't know anything! They must know the intelligence, otherwise they would have entangled you long ago."

"They change the fermentation tanks there every day. Do you think that corporate spies really eat for free? They are just trying to please you."

"But you've also been exposed. You really don't know anything. You're very safe."
