Become a burden in a period novel

The weather in Guangzhou is warm; even in winter, people on the street are only wearing a thick coat.

When Qin Wangshu got up in the morning, she took out a shirt, a pullover sweater, and a pair of black pants from her luggage.

After changing her clothes, Qin Wangshu tied her hair into a neat ponytail and prepared to go out.

The team from Peking University was accommodated in a guesthouse. In addition to Tong Aihua, Qin Wangshu sent another person to entertain them and talk to them about the Canton Fair.

A couple of days ago, they went to the factory to learn about her products and also looked at the advertising copy she had written. Qin Wangshu also showed them the orders her factory had placed at the Canton Fair.

"Our factory's customers are wealthy women in Europe and America. They are rich and care about their appearance, so they are willing to spend a lot of money on their skin. However, Chinese products were not trusted by them before, so I found a distributor." Qin Wangshu simply explained the matter of the distributor.

"However, our products are good, and once they use them, they usually buy them again, so we never lack orders. My goal at this Canton Fair is to find an agent in the Americas to sell our products there."

After hearing Qin Wangshu's introduction, they realized how impressive her factory was. Before, they thought it was just a small factory, since they had all looked into her factory in the suburbs of Beijing when they learned about her business.

It was just a small factory with a few dozen people, and the machines were a bit more advanced. However, the products in her factory were indeed quite good. I never expected that her factory in the south would be so big.

There are many neatly arranged factory buildings and more than a dozen dormitory buildings. In addition, a hospital and a school were built next to her factory. The scale of the factory is no less than that of a large state-owned factory.

In fact, many of the factories were built in the last two years and only started production last year. As for the hospital and school, that's a misunderstanding; they were built by the government, although Qin Wangshu did provide some support.

As the number of workers increased, so did the demand. Qin Wangshu then discussed with the local government and moved a hospital and several schools to the area.

The hospital and school here are just branches. The government paid half for the construction and the other half for Qin Wangshu. The condition was that the children of her factory's employees, whether local or from out of town, could attend the school without paying tuition fees.

Because of this, many employees brought their children to study here, and people from the neighboring construction company also brought their wives and children here.

The construction company is called Red Star. Because the team consists of veterans, they are very trustworthy, and many people hire them to build houses. Their team has expanded several times and can now take on three or four projects at a time.

With more people, there's more work, and many of them can't go home. Now that Qin Wangshu has a school and factory, many of them have brought their wives and children over. Their wives go to work in the factory, and their children go to school.

These past few days, they've often seen a muscular middle-aged man picking up his wife from get off work at the factory gate, and then they go to pick up their child from school together.

With these people around, Qin Wangshu had no need to worry about the safety of his factory, nor about any local bullies causing trouble.

After spending two days learning about Qin Wangshu's factory and its products, Qin Wangshu took them to Guangzhou, the location of this year's Canton Fair.

After settling them in, Qin Wangshu had a good night's rest. Then, early this morning, she got up and, without having anyone else with her, took a taxi to the Provincial Hospital in Guangzhou.

Although she had her suspicions, Qin Wangshu still wanted to go to the hospital for a check-up to put her mind at ease.

Thinking about the various prenatal checkups in future generations, she was worried that current technology wouldn't be up to par. Even with far more advanced technology in the future, there were still many things that couldn't be detected. With technology so backward now, she was genuinely concerned for the baby in her womb.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Qin Wangshu went directly to the gynecology department to register. After being called, she entered the consultation room.

"Did you come alone? No family members with you?"

"Well, my family members are in the military and don't have time to come. Just order any tests the doctor needs, I can do it myself."

"Based on your description, you seem to be pregnant, but it's still best to get a blood test to confirm. I'll find a nurse to go with you." Although Qin Wangshu seemed to be doing well, many women nowadays are anemic, and some are even afraid of blood. Qin Wangshu was going to have her blood drawn soon, so it would be safer for someone to accompany her.

"Thank you, doctor." I've never been to the hospital before, and I never expected the doctor to be so dedicated at a time like this.

"No need to be polite. Take these forms so you can understand what needs to be done and where to do it."

After thanking her, Qin Wangshu took the form and left the consultation room. A nurse came up to her shortly after and accompanied her to do various tests.
