Traveling through the Republic of China, I married a dead person

"What's the reason?" Everyone gathered around Dr. Shi.

"We have thought of all the solutions we should think of!" Su Bai really couldn't figure out what this reason that no one had noticed was that Dr. Shi mentioned.

"Sister Shi, you're not asking us to go directly to the chairman, are you?" Wan Qili said half-jokingly, "We've tried everything except this route!"

"Let me think about it, let me think about it." Dr. Shi seemed to be talking to himself.

Since we can't find the problem, let Dr. Shi think about it slowly.

Su Bai was at a loss, but Wan Qili thought that Dr. Shi's feeling was just her own, and it was a completely unreliable feeling. Even if she was given a few days, she wouldn't be able to figure it out.

Sure enough, until the third day, which was the morning of September 9, Dr. Shi had not yet come up with any results.

She didn't say anything herself, and no one asked. In the minds of Su Bai, Wan Qili and others, the matter just passed by in a muddle.

But Dr. Shi did not give up. Whenever she had free time, she would sit there alone with a frown on her face, thinking.

In fact, Dr. Shi does not have much free time. Without penicillin and erythromycin, the risk of wound infection increases exponentially, requiring more rigorous and thorough sterilization and disinfection before and after the operation. The more careful the work, the greater the workload.

When penicillin was used, the doctor checked the patients once a day. After penicillin was no longer used, the doctor checked the patients once in the morning and once in the afternoon, and sometimes one or two more checks were added.

Despite this, doctors remain pessimistic about the significant increase in infection rates that will follow.

The absence of penicillin does not mean that other drugs are in sufficient supply, especially the once-effective drug Prolanzapine, which has once again ascended to the altar. The supply allocated is less than one-third of the demand.

Under such circumstances, the workload of medical staff increased exponentially, and Su Bai became the most idle person in St. Peter's Basilica.

She could have gone downstairs to help, but at this moment she suddenly felt a sense of despair and hopelessness. She only ate a little food every day, and although she did nothing but stay by the radio, she still looked very tired.

The important reason for watching the radio was that I suddenly felt an inexplicable longing for Zhou Beiwang, a feeling I had never experienced before.

Maybe he would send a message to comfort himself, even if it was just about some military topics that he was tired of listening to before.

However, Zhou Beiwang did not send any message.

Just after lunch, Vice President Zhang, who hadn't been seen for two days, came to Su Bai's room excitedly and brought two pieces of news.

"Which one do you want to hear first?"

Su Bai only slowly raised his eyelids and looked at Vice President Zhang: "Let me tell you the bad news first."

She didn't understand why the old man was still in the mood to do this under such circumstances.

There are two pieces of news, one good news and one bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?

Su Bai felt that this was not fun at all and was very boring.

But Vice President Zhang didn't play it that way. He told Su Bai that both were good news.

Su Bai really wanted to ask him: "Are you sick?"

But she still held back and said politely: "Since both are good news, it doesn't matter which one you tell first."

The first good news that Vice President Zhang received was that the people in the Health Bureau had decided to immediately report the relevant materials on penicillin to the Department of Health.

Shit!

Su Bai cursed secretly in his heart. If it were in the past, this would definitely be good news, but now hearing this news, to put it bluntly, is the same as fart.

The second good news from Vice President Zhang is that the Municipal Council has completely agreed on the matter.

The general manager readily agreed and welcomed Miss Lan Jieru to return to the Fahua Pharmaceutical Factory. The Municipal Council will, as before, do its best to help Miss Lan with the delivery and will make the greatest effort to ensure Miss Lan's safety without interference from anyone.

The general manager knew that Inspector Han Charlie and his sister had a good personal relationship with Miss Lan. Once Miss Lan returned to the Fahua Pharmaceutical Factory, Han Charlie would be fully responsible for the security of the pharmaceutical factory and Miss Lan. At the same time, 20 elite police officers would be mobilized from other police stations and put under the unified command of Han Charlie.

"The CEO is investing so much money this time and giving such unconditional support?" Su Bai asked indifferently.

"Of course there are conditions. If he didn't have any conditions, I wouldn't dare to believe him!"

Vice President Zhang said that the general manager said that all the equipment needed for resumption of production would be purchased and provided by the Municipal Council, and Miss Lan would not have to spend any money for the raw materials needed for future production.

Their only request was half the output.

He also asked Vice President Zhang to tell Miss Lan that the Municipal Council only wanted the products and would not covet the related technologies and processes.

"How about it? These conditions are rare in the world, right?"

Compared with Vice President Zhang's excitement, Su Bai's calmness seemed particularly cold.

She didn't know how to answer Vice President Zhang, how to tell him in a relatively tactful way that she would not produce penicillin in Shanghai so as to minimize the damage to his enthusiasm.

He is a scholar who has been immersed in the ivory tower for too long. He has no idea how dangerous the world and human hearts are.

To Su Bai, the general manager's promise was worthless, but it was difficult to make Vice President Zhang believe and accept it.

Since he couldn't refuse directly for fear of hurting his feelings, and he couldn't agree either, Su Bai thought of a word: delay.

"Half of the output is too much. Please have Vice President Zhang and the general manager talk again. I can give him at most one-fifth of the output."

Vice President Zhang was not sad after hearing this, but he was anxious: "He wants half, you give one-fifth, Miss Lan, even if you go to the vegetable market to buy a bunch of greens, you won't bargain like you do, right?"

"Don't worry, I know he will agree." How could Su Bai not know that the general manager would not agree to such a bargain? It was just to delay time, without any other purpose.

Looking at Vice President Zhang's departing back, Su Bai sighed.

What's the point of doing this myself?

Even if it can be delayed for ten days or half a month, it is completely useless.

Penicillin still cannot be approved.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Pinzhang sent a telegram to tell Wan Qili the bad news. It was an undisclosed message from the Nanjing Station of the Military Control Commission that Yang Rufeng had been arrested and the commander of the 1st Military Police Regiment might also be implicated because of Yang Rufeng's behavior. The dean of the medical school had already reported the Military Police Headquarters to the Ministry of National Defense.

The gendarmerie route is no longer viable.

"I'm leaving." Su Bai suddenly said this, scaring Wan Qili.

Su Bai told her that from now on, she would never trust anyone again, and would no longer expect to get the government's support by getting the approval of penicillin.

She will still produce penicillin and donate it to the war of resistance, but not now, maybe in two months, maybe in half a year.

"Leaving Shanghai and returning to Longxing?" Wan Qili asked.

"No," Su Bai shook her head. She would not return to Longxing, but would keep in touch with Longxing.

"Where are you going?" Wan Qili was anxious. She wanted to persuade Su Bai to stay. After all, we have gone through an extremely difficult road, and it won't be more difficult than this. Dawn will appear.

She believed that Vice President Zhang was close to success, but it was hard to say about the Military Control Commission. Maybe there would be no progress for half a year, or maybe there would be a breakthrough suddenly.

The military police may also be able to turn the situation around.

With a loud bang, the door was slammed open and Dr. Shi rushed in.

It was the first time that Su Bai saw Dr. Shi so unsteady: "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

"I, I finally figured out why penicillin couldn't be approved. You guys are on the wrong track!" Dr. Shi was breathless and full of excitement.
