Chapter 1863 Subordinate Pressure Filling Hole
At 13:49 PM, the weather was clear and there was no wind at all.

At the "Hongyang" Pharmaceutical Company, under the old flagpole, Bian Mu chose a suitable spot, stood facing southwest, clasped his hands together, and silently chanted in his heart for a long time.

Not far from Bian Mu stood a truck driver, a man in his early forties, a full-time driver for the storage and transportation department of "Yiyoukang" company. Assistant Zhang had specially sent him to help Bian Mu transport goods. Li Yunhu stood next to him, looking at Bian Mu praying for something with a puzzled expression.

A female workshop supervisor from Hongyang Pharmaceutical Company accompanied him. She was the supervisor of Workshop 01, in her forties or fifties, with almond-shaped eyes, slightly light eyebrows, and a pair of glasses perched on her nose. She was slightly nearsighted, fair-skinned, and had a refined and gentle appearance, clearly a technical person. Her standard work clothes were well-tailored, and she carried a portable engineering bag in her hand, standing quietly to the side waiting for Bian Mu's instructions.

The female supervisor's surname is Yi. She had previously been leading the greening team in the factory's logistics department. Her resume shows that Ms. Yi is currently on leave. According to the factory's relevant regulations, if she is still unable to obtain a position that matches her major by the end of September 2026, the company will pay her a certain amount of compensation and dismiss her. After a brief interview and much deliberation, Bian Mu decided to temporarily appoint her as the supervisor of Special Workshop 01.

"Striped Face" learned from the old workers and security guards in the factory that Supervisor Yi was usually a bit rigid in her behavior, liked to argue with people, had a proper professional background, and her parents were both old workers in the factory. She was a factory child who returned home after graduation. She initially worked in the quality inspection department, but she didn't know how to be flexible in her work and didn't get along well with some of her colleagues. Later, the factory office transferred her to several positions, but she always ranked last in the year-end evaluation.

Later, his scores kept dropping, and he was directly assigned by the factory office to be a shift leader in the landscaping team.

Currently, the first batch of trial-produced "detoxifying ointment" is being manufactured in Special Workshop 01.

Looking up at the sky, Bian Mu deliberately walked to the small grove of medicinal plants around the old flagpole to check for a while. Fortunately, everything was normal, and the various medicinal plants were growing quite well.

Turning around, Bian Mu called everyone to get in the car and headed straight out of the warehouse area.

Anderlin and his wife had been waiting at the warehouse entrance for a while. When they saw Bian Mu get out of the car, they quickly and warmly went forward to greet him.

"Mr. An, you're too kind. We've inspected everything many times, and you still made this trip!" Bian Mu said with a smile.

"Hey! This is the real test. If anything goes wrong, we can correct it in time! Please!" With that, Anderlin and his wife accompanied Bian Mu into the warehouse.

As usual, Bian Mude randomly selected a box of medicine and personally inspected its quality in front of everyone. If there were no problems, he would sign off on it, and the matter would be considered preliminarily settled.

As an expert in the pharmaceutical industry, Bian Mude is responsible for ensuring the final quality control.

While it's called random, the specific box chosen is carefully considered, with the core principle being "surprise." Bian Mu, fortunate to have worked in various workshops at "Liushunrong," naturally knew this very well.

He counted once for odd numbers and once for even numbers, then reversed the count, swapped odd and even numbers, added three and subtracted one, and Bian Mu selected a box of finished new medicine.

Seeing Bian Mu's expertise, An Delin and the other industry insiders exchanged smiles, realizing that this popular doctor was truly capable, and that their factory still had a good chance of quickly getting out of its predicament.

Li Yunhu helped open the packaging box. It was simple packaging with low cost, but it met all the technical standards for moisture and pressure protection.

Bian Mu picked up a box of ointment, opened the lid, and used his fingernail to scratch a hole in the dust filter paper wrapped around the bottle. This dust filter paper was a patented packaging paper of "Yiyoukang" company. Bian Mu bought it himself and delivered it to "Hongyang" pharmaceutical company. With this filter paper, even if the medicine packaging box was wetted by rain or other liquids, it would not damage the efficacy of the ointment.

Made of transparent PEPLY material, with the cost of glass-like plastic, it is crystal clear. The ointment is transparent with a slight tinge of lake blue, giving it the appearance of high-end cosmetics.

Everyone watched as Bian Mu took out a glass lens resembling a color chart from his pocket. It was almost the same size as a mobile phone, flat, translucent, and brown. Holding the medium-sized medicine bottle in his left hand and using his right hand to support the color chart glass, Bian Mu examined what color the ointment would appear after being filtered through the lens.

It was fiery red, almost exactly as Bian Mu had envisioned.

"Great! Success on the first try! All that careful planning has finally paid off. I'm so glad I decided to partner with this ordinary pharmaceutical company, otherwise... if I had fallen into that high-end, sophisticated mindset, I would have suffered a huge loss this time." Bian Mu was secretly relieved and felt much more at ease.

Bian Mu hadn't revealed anything about the colorimetric partition test method beforehand, which surprised An Delin and other industry insiders. They felt that Bian Mu had indeed kept some secrets.

Immediately afterwards, Bian Mu turned the medicine bottle upside down and saw that a secondary pressure filling air hole had been reserved at the bottom of the bottle. The inner part of the air hole was made of rubber, while the outer layer was made of stainless steel. It was clear that it was made using a proper manufacturing process.

Bian Mu gently pressed the bottom of the medicine bottle onto his right palm, releasing a small amount of internal energy. After a short while, the color of the ointment, which had been fully replenished with Qi, gradually darkened, no longer as blue as before. Only then was Bian Mu completely relieved.

"President An! No problem! I've already put this bottle in my pocket! I won't put it back into storage!" As he spoke, Bian Mu put the medicine box back into his pocket.

Hongyang Pharmaceutical Company may not seem very large, but it has the capability to produce medicine bottles of various materials, which is rare among similar pharmaceutical factories. As for why Bian Mu insisted on leaving a secondary pressure filling port at the bottom of the bottle, Bian Mu did not take the initiative to explain, and An Delin and others did not ask too much. Anyway, this small detail was not a big deal. The drug instructions specifically stated in bold that ordinary patients should not easily change the physical properties of the bottom of the ointment bottle in the absence of a professional physician or pharmacist in a regular hospital.

Signing, pressing fingerprints, filling out forms... Bian Mu strictly followed the outbound procedures and completed all the relevant formalities.

Amidst laughter and chatter, Supervisor Yi began directing his colleagues to load the truck. It was a single-row van, a small truck less than five meters long, which Bian Mu had already planned out beforehand; a full load would suffice.

After saying goodbye to An Delin and the others, Bian Mu and Li Yunhu sat in the back seat and chatted and laughed with the truck driver as they sped to the warehouse area of ​​"Yiyoukang" Medical Company.

……

Assistant Zhang had been waiting at the warehouse entrance for a while. When he saw Bian Mu get out of the car, Assistant Zhang waved to him.

"It went well, didn't it?"

"It's alright! There's nothing wrong with the appearance, and the overall look is even better than expected. Remember! Just say it's barely satisfactory!"

"I can't forget it! Look at you! How long after it's been stored can we pick it up?"

"Eleven days, measured in hours. Within these eleven days, no one is allowed to take even a single small bottle from inside. Thank you for your hard work!"

"Okay! You can unload the goods first! I need to go back for a meeting."

"Get back to work!" Bian Mu said, instructing the warehouse staff to start unloading the goods, while Li Yunhu was responsible for counting and inspecting the goods.
