Pneumonia was almost a terminal illness in the 1930s, and many later medicines have not yet been invented, not even sulfonamide drugs with serious side effects.

Others don’t have it, but Zhang Dongliang does.

"Mr. Robert, I can tell you that I have a drug that may be able to save your daughter's life. This drug is the latest product of one of our companies and has not yet been officially released. If you are not afraid of the risk, I can try it for you."

“I’m not afraid of any risks~~”

Robert and his wife discussed it and decided to take a risk. Their daughter's condition was critical, and if they didn't try, they would not have the chance to take a risk, and their daughter would die soon.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll go get the medicine for you."

Zhang Dongliang stockpiled a lot of sulfonamide drugs in the small world. These drugs were very cheap in later generations, and they were hard currency in the backward world.

The only trouble was changing the packaging. Zhang Dongliang prepared the medicine and only kept the two Chinese characters "sulfa" on the box, nothing else.

"Zi Qiang, go get a glass of warm water. Mr. Robert, please hurry up and have your daughter take the medicine. The symptoms will be relieved in about an hour."

"If you're worried, just wait here. I'll go up first. Call me if you have anything else."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang." Robert and his wife hurriedly expressed their gratitude to Zhang Dongliang. This was their last straw.

"Is the problem resolved, Mr. Zhang?" Feng Chengcheng asked with concern when Zhang Dongliang returned to the second floor.

"It's solved. We can just eat in peace."

The four of them ate and drank happily. Especially for Wang Yueqi, this was the happiest meal she had had since returning to Shanghai.

The four people came downstairs. Robert and his wife had not left yet. Their child's complexion had obviously improved and he fell asleep in the arms of Robert's wife.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Zhang. Your medicine is very effective."

"As long as it works, saving the child's life is more important than anything else."

"You are such a kind person, Mr. Zhang. It seems that God heard my pious call and let me meet you."

"Hey, Mr. Robert, what you said is wrong. This is China. The only one who can respond to you is the God of China. If you want to thank someone, you should thank our God of China."

"Yes, yes. Whichever god heard my call and let me meet you, I should be grateful."

Listening to Zhang Dongliang and Robert chatting happily in English, Chen Hanlin, Feng Chengcheng and Wang Yueqi were all confused because they couldn't understand what they were saying.

They lived in the French Concession. If they knew any foreign language, it was only French, and they knew nothing about English.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand English, but when you listen to Zhang Dongliang and the others talking, it’s so confusing and I really feel it.

Feng Chengcheng's eyes sparkled: "This Mr. Zhang is really a surprise. He said he only graduated from high school, so how can he speak such fluent foreign languages?"

"Mr. Zhang, how much should you pay for your medicine?"

Thanks aside, Robert still had to pay for the medicine, and he was well aware of this.

"Thank you for the $10." Zhang Dongliang said this in Chinese.

"Wow, so expensive." Wang Yueqi exclaimed.

"It's not expensive at all. Compared to our children, it's not expensive at all." Robert had no problem understanding simple Chinese.

"Mr. Robert, your daughter needs to take medicine for 7 consecutive days, twice a day, to be completely cured, so the total cost of the medicine is $140.

If you need it, you can take the medicine away at once and take it at home. If you are worried, you can go to the pharmacy every time you take the medicine. "

Mr. and Mrs. Robert looked at each other and said, "Let's go to the pharmacy to take it. It's not that we don't trust you, we are just afraid that we won't be able to handle the emergency. Please forgive our reckless behavior, Mr. Zhang."

"It's okay. I understand how you feel. Mr. Robert, if you have nothing else to do, please go home. I have guests here, so I won't accompany you any longer."

"Okay, okay, thank you Mr. Zhang." Robert and his wife quickly picked up their daughter and went home full of gratitude.

"Mr. Zhang, how come you can speak a foreign language?"

“Is it weird that I can speak a foreign language?”

"Of course it's strange, you've never been abroad." Wang Yueqi couldn't understand how Mr. Zhang could speak a foreign language?

"How do you know I've never been abroad? If I've never been abroad, does that mean I can't speak a foreign language?"

"Mr. Zhang, was that English just now?" Feng Chengcheng didn't make a fuss like Wang Yueqi.

"Yes, I just spoke English. How can I cooperate with the British if I don't speak English?"

"Oh, yes, Mr. Zhang can cooperate with the British, so he must be able to speak English." Wang Yueqi looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

Looking at Wang Yueqi's funny expression, Zhang Dongliang smiled.

Chen Hanlin was a little silent. Why did he feel so uncultured?

It is daytime now, and with Chen Hanlin accompanying them, Feng Chengcheng and Wang Yueqi's safety is guaranteed, so Zhang Dongliang does not need to send them back.

"Student Hanlin, the safety of the two female classmates Feng Chengcheng and Wang Yueqi is in your hands. Please escort them home."

"No problem, Mr. Zhang, don't worry, I will definitely send them home safely." This was a job Chen Hanlin loved to do, and he patted his chest and assured Zhang Dongliang that there was no problem.

After saying goodbye to the three of them, Zhang Dongliang returned to the pharmacy to get the medicine, and explained to Zi Qiang the precautions that Robert and his wife should take when bringing their daughter to take the medicine.

After Zi Qiang understood, Zhang Dongliang went upstairs to rest. He didn't want to waste all his time guarding the store.

First, put all the mess left over from the meal into the small world, making the entire second floor much cleaner.

Lying on the bed, Zhang Dongliang did not fall asleep immediately. He thought about his gains and losses in recent times.

It has been a while since I came to the world of "Shanghai Bund". Apart from watching the half-excitement, it seems that I have not accomplished anything. This is not what I want.

The key point is that Zhang Dongliang doesn’t know how long he will stay in this world, and he misses his women a little.

From now on, Zhang Dongliang will get angry with anyone who talks about having a harem during the Republic of China era.

If it is said that there are a lot of brothels in this era and that rich people marry many concubines and no one cares, Zhang Dongliang would believe it.

Normal women are very conservative before marriage. It is impossible for them to have something messy with you. That is unrealistic.

This is different from marrying a concubine. Even if you marry many concubines, you still have to pretend and have a ceremony.

If you want to mess around, you can go to some brothels or half-close the door. But Zhang Dongliang will not do such a thing, he thinks it is dirty.

This is embarrassing, he can only be single at present. A rich lady like Feng Chengcheng would never have a bloody plot with him of getting pregnant before marriage.

"I spend all my time hanging out with women and not making any progress. Could it be that Xiaodie sent me here in the middle of the night for this reason?" Zhang Dongliang thought to himself.
