Merchant and doctor

Chapter 2529: Six young men were temporarily hired.
Qi Ruilian's sudden visit was a big deal. As soon as Bian Mu got off work that evening, he immediately called Old Liang, the forest ranger, and briefly explained the matter.

"Good thing! At least it proves that the idiot surnamed Sha made a mistake! You know what? Even if Qi Ruilian is confused, she knows very well that 'Yuan Gu' should at least be a completely independent and legitimate pharmaceutical company. She would never condone turning it into a contract manufacturer or scrap for other big companies. Sha's eagerness for quick success and reckless behavior will only drive him to a dead end in the end. He deserves it!" Old Liang said this on the phone with great satisfaction.

"Should we continue to contact her? I mean, actively contact her..."

"There's absolutely no need for that! Right now, it's a seller's market here, and they're the real buyers! Moreover, we're in a superior seller's market; they're several levels below us! It's just that you lack business experience and are naturally kind-hearted, unwilling to easily manipulate people. If this matter were handled by Sima Kui, they would be severely punished! Furthermore, the guy surnamed Sha hasn't done enough. At least, we've been somewhat accommodating to his self-rescue experiment in various aspects, and we've already been very gentlemanly by not stirring things up! This kind of thing is like renovating an old, dilapidated house; some of the dilapidated..." The pot must be completely smashed! Some old walls must be torn down! He's the one who's smashing the pot and breaking down the walls. Even if you stand up and point out that it's a broken pot at a certain moment, it requires everyone to see clearly, acknowledge, and agree! Their vision is limited, and the relevant departments can't possibly assign an expert supervision team to monitor them 24/7, can they? Besides, the company coming from Nanjin is a legitimate, large company, and many things are still unclear! Until things reach a certain point, who can tell what's good and bad?! Let him keep smashing! People teach people, but reason is hard to understand; events teach people, and it's instantly clear!

"Alright then... but the cost is a bit high!"

"There's nothing we can do! Things in this world can't always be handled ideally. It's like when you first learned division as a child. You had to try different quotients over and over again. Kids, it's their first time learning, what experience can they have? Thousands upon thousands of practice sessions are needed to finally get a perfect score in math on the college entrance exam! Have you heard? This year's math exam was really difficult. The kids were all complaining as soon as they came out of the exam hall! They've trained their math skills for a full 12 years! If their skills aren't up to par, what can they do?!"

"Wow! Time flies! It's already the college entrance exam!"

"Of course! I downloaded two math tests online and went through them from beginning to end. Actually, the difficulty level was quite limited. The kids weren't really used to modular thinking! Plus, the atmosphere was a bit tense, so most of them failed!"

"You still have this kind of refined taste, old man! I'm impressed!"

"Old Pei instigated this, and you know what? He actually managed to deduce most of the answers using counting rods. I haven't used them for so many years, and there are some details I can't understand anymore, but Old Pei is still as sharp as ever. That Qi girl is useless too; she still failed the big exam in Yuan Gu this time, so... you need to learn to be more respectable! Can you do that?"

Give it a try!

"She has absolutely no connection with us, and our shared interests are very weak. To her, your role is always just a lifeline! In subsequent negotiations, we must handle this carefully and not let our soft hearts get the better of us! The business world is like a battlefield, it's no joke. Don't think you can be careless just because you've had a smooth two years. No matter how smart you are, your business experience is almost zero, and your understanding of people is still very immature. At times like this, someone like Cai Huaixin is actually quite important. He has to report to the higher-ups on many things, and there can't be the slightest mistake! Yuangu is secondary. The more reckless the Sha guy is, the less say they'll have in the future. In this respect, they're like children, completely unaware of the power of core technology! By the way, where is the new drug development at?"

"We're looking for people to do the replication experiments for us. I'm worried about leaks, so we need at least three to five people. We still don't know who would be suitable!"

"No problem! Lao Pei and I are just killing time anyway, so... I'll help you apply the medicine. I'll find a few young people who have graduated but haven't found jobs yet, especially those who passed the entrance exam for a four-year college program but ultimately gave up for various reasons. I'll pay each of them 300 yuan a day, plus lunch. How about that?"

"Hey! How come I didn't think of that! How about reimbursing you another hundred yuan for your phone bill!"

"Forget it! 300 a day is not bad. You're kind-hearted. How bad could the lunch be? We're running a business. We have to be careful with our costs. If it weren't for the fact that it's not easy for the kids to find jobs and they're still spending their family's money, I'd think 300 is too much!"

"You're right, sir. So... when can they get started?" "We need to ask a few friends to do a thorough review, as soon as possible! By the way, what if we encounter a child with an exceptionally good memory? Will the core technology be leaked?" Old Liang reminded him on the other end of the phone.

"Don't worry! Even Dian Shuhua and Xiao Xiaoqin can't access the most crucial parts. This is a preliminary experiment, so even if they secretly set up miniature cameras, it won't be of much use."

"That's easy, just wait for my letter!"

"Okay!" Bian Mu said, then hung up the phone.

……

Forest ranger Lao Liangtou and herb farmer Lao Pei were quite efficient. Before long, they found six recent graduates. Bian Mu divided them into two groups, and they started doing experiments in shifts on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Dian Shuhua led one group, and Xiao Xiaoqin led the other group. They were assigned to one shift each day, with weekends off.

The experimental data was quickly compiled, and the results were even better than Bian Mu's prediction.

Four girls and two boys—I don't know how Old Liang and the others picked them, but they were all incredibly capable. They didn't have any of the habitual flaws that young people today often have. While secretly amazed, Bian Mu was filled with admiration for the two seniors.

Seeing that the six young people were working quite hard, Bian Mu originally planned to arrange for them to spend half a day relaxing at Lianhu Lake over the weekend. However, after thinking about it, Old Liang reminded him that these six young people were currently worried about finding suitable jobs. Even if they went on a trip, they probably wouldn't enjoy it. It would cost three or four thousand yuan for a group of people. It was not worth the effort and the lack of enjoyment. So, Bian Mu gave up the idea.

Touched by the dedication of the six young people, Bian Mu arranged a rather elaborate lunch for them.

That evening, after getting off work, Bian Mu greeted a few colleagues and went to the Little White Building.

The six young people had just finished their work and were about to leave when Bian Mu exchanged a few polite words with them and was about to change into her work clothes to prepare for the next stage of drug research and testing. She noticed that one of the young female students deliberately lingered for a while.

"Is there something you need?" Bian Mu asked with a smile.

"Teacher Bian... could you help us find suitable jobs?"

Upon hearing this, Bian Mu immediately laughed.
