From the Siheyuan, I started to run around in the world

"Hello, Mr. Zhang."

When they arrived at the Far East Huangpu Pharmacy on Nanjing Road, Zi Qiang, a clerk in the store, saw Zhang Dongliang coming in and hurriedly stood up to greet him.

Just when he was about to say something, Zi Qiang stopped talking when he saw several people following Zhang Dongliang in.

Zhang Dongliang saw that the waiter seemed to be hesitant to speak and said, "Zi Qiang, what's the matter?"

"It's like this, Mr. Zhang. Just now, Mr. Robert from an American company came to see you. He wanted to ask if we have any new medicines. I said you were not there, and he said he would come to see you later."

"Oh, I see. I have guests coming up to eat. When they come, just call me. Will you come up and eat with us later?"

"No need, Mr. Zhang. I brought my own food. Besides, I need help down there."

"Well, tell me when the American comes."

"Come on, let's go upstairs first." Zhang Dongliang called Chen Hanlin, Feng Chengcheng and Wang Yueqi.

"Mr. Zhang, are there any foreigners coming here to buy medicine?" Curious baby Wang Yueqi couldn't help asking.

Zhang Dongliang laughed: "How novel, classmate Wang Yueqi. This pharmacy is on the Bund, so there must be many foreigners coming here to buy medicine."

"Oh, I see." Wang Yueqi's greatest strength is that she has a good attitude and is never afraid of criticism.

Arriving at the reception room on the second floor, "Dear students, please take a seat first. I will go to the warehouse to prepare some food."

Zhang Dongliang pretended to get some food and went to the warehouse on the third floor.

Copper hot pot, charcoal, a lot of seasonings, and a variety of ingredients, including fresh vegetables, lamb, seafood, etc., all of which have been washed and cut.

After taking it out of the small world, it was covered with ice and placed in a large wooden box lined with cotton to make it look like an insulated box.

It took Zhang Dongliang two trips to get all the things down.

"Well~~Mr. Zhang, you seem to have prepared everything very well?" Chen Hanlin was very surprised.

"You are in for a treat today. I have a friend who is planning to come from the northwest, and I prepared this as a treat. But I received a telegram this morning saying that he has something else to do and won't be coming, so I'll let you guys enjoy it."

"Come on, let's work together. If you work hard, you will have enough food and clothing. Don't expect servants to serve you here."

"Do it yourself and you will have enough food and clothing." Feng Chengcheng muttered to himself.

Indeed, for people like them, there are too few opportunities to do things on their own. Even Wang Yueqi has a good family background.

If the family conditions were poor, Wang Yueqi would not call Feng Chengcheng so often. In today's Shanghai, families with telephones at home are considered very good families.

The boiling water in the copper hot pot was bubbling. The mutton was put into the boiling water and rolled for a few times. Then it was taken out, dipped in the dipping sauce, and put into the mouth: "Ah, it's delicious." Wang Yueqi was intoxicated by this long-lost taste.

Chen Hanlin and Feng Chengcheng had eaten Donglaishun quite a lot in Beijing, so they were familiar with it. Seeing Wang Yueqi eating happily, they also quickly grabbed the mutton slices.

If you are slow in front of a glutton like Wang Yueqi, you might not be able to finish the pot in time.

Zhang Dongliang poured white wine for Chen Hanlin and himself, and poured a glass of red wine for Feng Chengcheng and Wang Yueqi.

Zhang Dongliang wanted to pour some juice for the two ladies, but it was inconvenient to explain the source. Fortunately, Feng Chengcheng and Wang Yueqi were not averse to red wine, so they symbolically held the glasses and drank less.

"Come on, classmates, please raise your glasses. I am honored to have you all here today. I am sorry for the poor hospitality. Cheers."

After a few drinks and the mutton hotpot was indeed delicious, the atmosphere of the conversation gradually became lively.

"Mr. Zhang, is your pharmacy in partnership with the British?" Feng Chengcheng's face was flushed, and it was unclear whether it was from the hot pot or the alcohol.

"Yes, I am now what people call a comprador. But I am different from other compradors. I am in partnership with the British. I am the major shareholder and the British are the minority shareholders. I have the final say."

"Ah, then~~Mr. Zhang is so awesome." It was Wang Yueqi who rushed to express her own opinion again.

"Miss Feng, what are your plans recently?"

"I don't have any other plans for now. A few classmates are planning to form a drama club, and we'll put on a few shows together. We haven't decided on anything yet."

"Then I wish Miss Feng's drama club a success."

"Thank you."

"Student Chen Hanlin, what are your plans?"

"Alas, I am not as free as Mr. Zhang. My family always asks me to help out in the factory, but I don't want to go."

After a pause, Chen Hanlin said with great enthusiasm: "I want to go to the police station. Look at the whole Shanghai, it's a mess everywhere, and no one is upholding the dignity of the law. I decided to become a policeman and I must manage public security."

After Chen Hanlin finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Feng Chengcheng.

Feng Chengcheng did not make any comment on Chen Hanlin's heroic words, pretending not to hear them. This made Chen Hanlin feel like he had punched the air. It would be very boring if a woman did not appreciate the heroism he showed.

In fact, Chen Hanlin still has a strong sense of justice, and what he said is his true thoughts.

In fact, Chen Hanlin did the same thing after he arrived at the police station. After encountering many setbacks, and with Xu Wenqiang's guidance, he gradually began to become one with the world.

When a few people were chatting animatedly, someone knocked on the door.

"Come in." The waiter Zi Qiang leaned in and said, "Mr. Zhang, the American is here again, and he insists on seeing you. Look~~"

"Everyone, you guys eat upstairs first, I'll go down and take a look."

When Zhang Dongliang went downstairs, he saw two Americans, a man and a woman, holding a child, waiting for him in the pharmacy lobby.

"DR.~~Boss.~~Sir~~", the American named Robert spoke incoherently to Zhang Dongliang in a mixture of Chinese and English.

Maybe because the language was not fluent, Zhang Dongliang did not understand what Robert meant.

"Just speak English directly. I can understand you. Don't mix Chinese and English." Zhang Dongliang told Robert directly in English.

When Robert heard that the Chinese man in front of him could understand his native language, he was overjoyed and quickly explained the situation.

It turned out that the child they were holding was their daughter.

A few days ago, their daughter developed a lung infection due to a long-term cold. Now her condition is getting worse and the hospital they went to is no longer able to treat her.

The doctor advised him to go to major pharmacies to see if there were any new drugs from pharmaceutical companies. These experimental drugs might be able to save his daughter's life.

Robert had no choice but to run to various pharmacies to inquire.

Other pharmacies have clearly stated that they do not have any new drugs, but this pharmacy has not yet responded to the issue of new drugs.

Seeing that their daughter was about to collapse, Robert and his wife had no choice but to carry their daughter directly to Zhang Dongliang’s Far East Huangpu Pharmacy.
