Developing medicine

Upon seeing this, Su Chuanyun couldn't help but let out a bitter smile.

So what if I spent less time with my daughter when she was little? Does that mean I've lost all my authority as a father?

He felt helpless, but he really had no way to deal with his daughter who was not afraid of him at all.

My first impression of Fang Weiyan is not bad; I've already met him before.

Su Chuanyun was also preparing to go back; there was still a mess at the company waiting for him to clean up.

"No, I have some things to take care of at the company. I'm just passing by today. You two young people can chat all you want."

After Su Chuanyun finished speaking, he walked directly to the car, opened the door, and got in.

Seeing this, Fang Weiyan waved his hand and watched the other person's car disappear before turning back, "Shall we go inside?"

"OK!"

Upon hearing this, Su Qingyun immediately responded sweetly, like a little bird nestled against someone.

Fang Weiyan felt something was off, but didn't think much of it.

After the two sat down, Fang Weiyan glanced at Su Qingyun.

Su Qingyun had clearly dressed up carefully; her hair was meticulously braided, with a few strands dyed a touch of turquoise mixed in, making her look stunning at first glance.

Her eyebrows were drawn a little longer, making her look somewhat like Liu Yan.

A strand of hair fell down, covering her forehead, making her look even more delicate.

Fang Weiyan glanced at Su Qingyun a few times before looking away. He had been watching her put on makeup since college, and Fang Weiyan was used to it.

She simply assumed he was a refined girl.

She's a rich woman; her family must be wealthy. That's normal.

"What would you like to eat? Please order."

Fang Weiyan handed the other person a menu.

There was a QR code for ordering, but since the waiter came over with the menu, Fang Weiyan handed the menu to Su Qingyun instead.

Su Qingyun took the menu, casually ordered a few items, and then had the waiter take it away.

"Speaking of which, you told me on the phone before that you were in trouble. What kind of trouble was it?"

Fang Weiyan recalled the conversation Su Qingyun had with him on the phone earlier and couldn't help but ask a question.

Su Qingyun, however, began to scrutinize Fang Weiyan.

It feels like it's been a while since I last saw Fang Weiyan; he's changed quite a bit.

The person's entire demeanor is different, and so are their eyes.

The change in her eyes is truly remarkable.

"It's nothing, just a small matter at work."

Upon hearing this, Su Qingyun shook her head. She didn't want to tell Fang Weiyan about her troubles, as it wouldn't be good for him to share her worries.

Seeing that the other Fang Weiyan looked at Su Qingyun carefully again.

"It seems like Su Qingyun hasn't been doing so well lately?"

Fang Weiyan glanced at her a few more times and could see that Su Qingyun had recently been experiencing a series of setbacks in her career.

"Here, give me a dollar."

Fang Weiyan thought for a moment, then said to Su Qingyun.

Su Qingyun was taken aback upon hearing this, but she didn't ask Fang Weiyan anything. Instead, she started rummaging through her bag.

After searching for a while, I still couldn't find a single coin.

"I didn't bring any coins..."

Su Qingyun asked, puzzled, "Why do you need a dollar? Can't I just transfer it via mobile phone?"

"Never mind, keep this dollar, give it to me later."

Seeing that Su Qingyun didn't have any money, Fang Weiyan reached into his pocket and pulled out a one-yuan coin.

After handing it to Su Qingyun, let her hold it first.

Su Qingyun was a little confused about what Fang Weiyan was doing, but Fang Weiyan didn't explain. He told her it was about changing her luck, Fang Weiyan he felt she probably wouldn't believe him.

"I invited you to dinner today, but there's actually another favor I'd like to ask you."

Fang Weiyan spoke, he took out a brocade box and handed it to the other party.

"What's up?"

Su Qingyun found it strange; what was it that required Fang Weiyan to meet and discuss?

"There are two sections of medicinal tendrils inside. I'd like you to have them analyzed. You need to keep some of the data confidential. This herb was specially cultivated by me, and its effects are extraordinary. I'd like you to analyze it and then use it as a basis to develop other medicines."

"You should start a pharmaceutical company; you'll definitely make money."

Fang Weiyan began to speak.

Su Qingyun was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and opened the brocade box in front of her with a lot of doubt.

The moment the brocade box was opened, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out. "What kind of medicine is this?"

Su Qingyun was stunned. She had seen ginseng and other medicinal herbs before, but none of them could compare to this one.

The aroma of this medicine is so strong that she can't help but want to swallow it whole.

"The medicine I cultivated is hundreds of times more effective than wild ginseng and the like. You can have it tested to see its specific components. Later, when you start a pharmaceutical company, I'll handle the supply. What do you think?"

Fang Weiyan repeated it.

Upon hearing this, Su Qingyun fell silent for a moment. "The pharmaceutical industry isn't easy. Developing new drugs requires billions of dollars to even make a dent."

She had heard some things about the pharmaceutical industry.

Making money is possible, but the amount of money invested is also enormous.

The launch of a mature drug can sometimes require tens of billions of dollars.

Basic drugs that are relatively easy to develop generally require several billion dollars.

"Could you please help me out? Analyze the ingredients first, what do you think?"

Fang Weiyan knew that verbal persuasion wouldn't work, so he decided to let the other person research the ingredients first.

Once the information is available, Fang Weiyan estimates that the other party will agree.

Putting everything else aside, at least we can develop a post-operative recovery drug eventually.

For example, if someone is recovering after surgery or childbirth, this kind of medicine will have a very large market.

Moreover, given the effectiveness of this medicine, taking some should be enough to get out of bed and walk the next day without any problem.

However, to ensure the supply of the drug, it will need to be diluted to prevent the effects from being too miraculous and attracting unwanted attention.

"Okay, I'll take it to be tested later."

Seeing that Fang Weiyan had already said so, Su Qingyun naturally couldn't say anything more and immediately nodded in agreement.

Upon seeing Su Qingyun, Fang Weiyan immediately smiled.

As they were talking, the dishes they had just ordered were served, Fang Weiyan invited the other person to eat.

"By the way, are you going to stay up at Cloud-Stilling Temple? You have to come down now, right?"

Changing the subject, Su Qingyun brought up this matter.

She felt somewhat helpless about Fang Weiyan's insistence on going to Cloud-Stilling Temple.

But now that things have come to this, Fang Weiyan settle down?

"I feel comfortable up there, so I'll stay there for now."

Fang Weiyan chuckled and said.

Su Qingyun was completely helpless at the sight; why was this guy still clinging to that spot?

"So what are you planning to do after this? You're staying up there, aren't you going to find a girlfriend?"

Su Qingyun cautiously probed Fang Weiyan's reaction.

"Yes, I'll definitely look for it later, but I don't have time right now."

Fang Weiyan shook his head. He was so busy that he wished he could split into two people, and he really didn't have that much energy.

Su Qingyun's face was full of struggle, and the words she wanted to say just wouldn't come out.

Even after finishing her meal, Su Qingyun still couldn't bring herself to say what was on her mind.

Fang Weiyan glanced at the time; it was already past ten o'clock. He immediately stood up and looked at Su Qingyun apologetically.

"I have something to do, I need to go back first..."

"Alright, you can go back now."

Su Qingyun nodded, feeling reluctant but unable to force Fang Weiyan to stay.

Seeing this, Fang Weiyan waved to Su Qingyun and turned to leave.

"Hello..."

Watching Fang Weiyan leave, Su Qingyun suddenly mustered up her courage and called out to Fang Weiyan.

Fang Weiyan turned around at Su Qingyun, somewhat bewildered by the call, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Su Qingyun's face was full of hesitation. After thinking for a moment, her face flushed, but she still didn't dare to say it. "N-nothing."

"Oh, right, I almost forgot about that."

Fang Weiyan suddenly slapped his forehead, strode back to Su Qingyun, and then reached out and grabbed Su Qingyun's hand.

Upon seeing this, Su Qingyun's face instantly turned bright red. "Confess your feelings quickly, and I'll say yes right away!"

Su Qingyun's heart was filled with joy at this moment, and she thought that Fang Weiyan was about to confess his feelings to her.

But the next moment, Fang Weiyan reached out and opened Su Qingyun's small hand, then took the coin from her palm.

"I almost forgot about that."

Fang Weiyan put the coin away.

"Then I'll be going now!"

Fang Weiyan waved to Su Qingyun, then turned and left.

Upon seeing this, Su Qingyun gasped in astonishment, then stomped her foot in disbelief, "Ugh! You're driving me crazy, you idiot!"

Fang Weiyan hurriedly returned to Pingshui City Pingshui City. He was worried that if he left, the lower-level officials might be unsure of what to do and would need his help.

After Fang Weiyan returned, he immediately went to the government office.

"Grown ups!"

Fang Weiyan had just arrived at the door when a minor official immediately stepped forward.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Seeing the flustered look on the clerk's face, Fang Weiyan frowned and said.

"Yesterday's heavy rain caused many people in the city to catch a cold. If this cold spreads, it could cause widespread illness. Should we isolate these people for treatment?"

Although they lack modern medical knowledge, the people here know that colds are contagious.

Moreover, with so many people catching colds last night, the lower-level officials naturally wanted to isolate them.

How many people have caught a cold?

Fang Weiyan was not flustered when he heard this. It was just a cold, and there were many modern medical treatments available.

There are more than two hundred people.

More than two hundred?

Fang Weiyan was stunned when he heard this. How could there be so many people?

"Take me to see it."

Fang Weiyan suddenly sensed something was wrong; how could so many people have caught a cold?

"Sir, there may be danger."

Upon seeing this, the minor official quickly tried to dissuade him.

"Take me there!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Weiyan immediately used the title "This Official".

Upon hearing this, the minor official dared not dissuade him any further and quickly led the way.

A moment later, Fang Weiyan arrived at the outside of a clinic, where a number of people were already sitting.

A strong smell of medicine wafted through the air. Some people were holding children in their arms, the children murmuring something unconsciously.

It looks like he has a high fever.

Some people were still soaking wet, even the children were wearing wet clothes.

"This humble subject greets Your Excellency."

Upon seeing Fang Weiyan arrive, some of the people immediately reacted and were about to kneel down and kowtow to Fang Weiyan.

Fang Weiyan quickly reached out to stop them, "How come so many people have suddenly fallen ill?"

"The wind and rain leaked into Xiaomin's house last night, causing him to catch a cold."

Upon hearing this, the old man beside him coughed repeatedly.

Fang Weiyan frowned upon seeing this; had a gust of wind and rain leaked in?

"Take me to your home," Fang Weiyan said, pausing slightly before instructing Tao Lingluo, "Tao Lingluo, go to my residence and fetch a piece of root to brew medicine for everyone."

Upon hearing this, Tao Lingluo immediately agreed and left.

With so many people catching colds, Fang Weiyan couldn't care less about the preciousness of the medicinal herbs, since they were meant for treating illnesses anyway.

Seeing Fang Weiyan give the instructions, the old man led Fang Weiyan toward his home.

A moment later, Fang Weiyan arrived at the other party's house, and at a glance, it would be no exaggeration to say that the house was bare.

There were still water stains on the ground; it felt very damp as soon as I came in.

Fang Weiyan glanced at it, then headed towards the second floor.

The wooden stairs creaked as you stepped on them.

When Fang Weiyan arrived on the second floor, he was stunned. The bedding on the bed next to him was completely soaked by the rain. When he reached out and grabbed a handful, water overflowed.

It looked completely soaked in water.

The wooden planks on all sides were soaked with rainwater; how could anyone live in such a damp place?

"Didn't I previously order that the resettlement of the relocated people be properly arranged? Why are they living in such a place?"

Fang Weiyan turned to look at the junior official beside him, his face full of displeasure.

We're all human beings, how can you let your city's residents live in such a place?

How am I supposed to sleep in a room like this at night?

"Reporting to your Excellency, this matter is not under my jurisdiction..."

Upon hearing this, the minor official who had been following him froze, trembling as he spoke.

He hadn't forgotten the scene of the last minor official who was receiving a salary without working being beheaded and his head displayed in public that evening.

Fang Weiyan snorted heavily upon hearing this and turned to leave.

After leaving, Fang Weiyan took another look at the other houses. Upon entering, he found that all of them were leaking, and there was nowhere to make a bed.

The blankets were damp.

It's hard to imagine how one could sleep in a bed like this.

This sight made Fang Weiyan's expression extremely gloomy.

Taking a deep breath, when Fang Weiyan came out again, the clerk who had assigned the people their lodgings was brought before him.

The clerk had barely seen Fang Weiyan Fang Weiyan he knelt down before him with a thud. "My lord, spare me! I've done my best to allocate houses, but there simply aren't enough houses in the city. Many are uninhabited or dilapidated. I can't just conjure houses out of thin air!"

After kneeling down, the minor official began to sob and cry, fearing that Fang Weiyan would drag him out and execute him.

Why wasn't this matter reported?

Upon hearing this, Fang Weiyan asked in a cold voice.

"Your Excellency, I believe we can resolve this issue. We should be able to repair these houses in a few days. I think it will be fine if it doesn't rain."

The minor official was somewhat alarmed.

"My lord, what this man said is entirely true."

Seeing this, another minor official gritted his teeth, bowed, and said...

Fang Weiyan's current state, the anger on his face lessened considerably. Since there was no embezzlement involved, it was inconvenient to punish the other party.

Let's settle these people first; houses like this are no longer habitable.
