During my escape from famine, I survived by eavesdropping on the whispers of food.

Just then, President Jin's gaze fell upon Qin Shuangshuang, who was administering medicine to someone nearby.

Then, with a deep smile, he went to her, patted her shoulder lightly, and said, "Miss Qin, it's been a long time since I've seen you. You've really grown up a lot."

I've heard that you've done a lot of good things in this county. When I arrived, I heard about your effective treatments and how you managed to calm this chaotic situation so well. I truly admire you.

Qin Shuangshuang was completely confused. His words had a hidden meaning, and he clearly came with a purpose.

Qin Shuangshuang forced a smile and said to him, "The fact that Chairman Jin came here and brought these medicinal herbs makes him a truly good person. What we did is nothing. We hope that Chairman Jin can bring more medicinal herbs in the future so that we can cure more sick people."

Upon hearing this, the president immediately and without hesitation said to the two of them, "Look at what you're saying, it's really pleasing to hear. You care about me; it seems we truly are family."

Now that I've come, I intend to learn medicinal formulas for healing and saving lives alongside you. Furthermore, I brought my own medicine with me, so we can exchange them and learn from each other.

"How about we go inside and talk?"

He was worried that someone with ulterior motives would overhear his intentions.

Seeing that there were other yamen runners here who could take over, Qin Shuangshuang said to them, "I'll leave this place to you. I'll go in with them first."

The constable beside her nodded and said to Qin Shuangshuang, "Miss Qin, please go in first. We'll take care of things here."

Qin Shuangshuang put down her spoon, turned around, and followed Lu Jun inside.

Chairman Jin followed closely behind them and entered the main hall together.

Looking at the people coming and going dressed in rags, President Jin would even take out a handkerchief to wipe the tip of his pen.

Qin Shuangshuang could tell that President Jin had always been a very particular person, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a move.

She then teased, "I'm just a girl and I'm not afraid of these things, but I didn't expect you, a grown man, to be so disgusted."

President Jin defended himself, saying, "I haven't seen any bloody scenes before, so please don't be offended. But don't worry, my heart is the same as yours in wanting to save the people of these two cities."

Not long after Qin Shuangshuang went to the table, a young girl brought over tea.

Qin Shuangshuang smiled slightly at her, then took out a candy from her pocket and handed it to her. The little girl happily took the tea tray and left.

Lu Jun sat next to her, while Chairman Jin and his servants sat opposite him.

At this moment, Qin Shuangshuang saw another unfamiliar man on the opposite side.

Qin Shuangshuang asked curiously, "President Jin, you haven't introduced him yet."

The president, having regained his senses, smiled slightly and said, "This is my little sister. She's been following me around doing business with me. This is the first time she's brought her out to meet you."

Qin Shuangshuang withdrew her curiosity and then said to President Jin, "To be honest, President Jin, the city is really short of medicinal herbs right now. If you have any, you should donate some."

Upon hearing this, the president quickly replied, "Don't worry, Miss Qin, I won't hold back at all when it comes to the supply of medicinal herbs here. I've already sent people to arrange it."

However, there's something I want to ask you when I get back. You didn't tell me how you managed to make them recover so quickly. It's a miracle. If I could see the prescription, I would definitely help several nearby cities recover faster.

Upon hearing this, Qin Shuangshuang realized that this person's intention was to inquire about how she treated and saved lives.

She hesitated, wondering whether she should speak.

She kept dawdling there. Lu Jun sat down next to her, touched her fingertips, and said to her, "It's just some ordinary medicine, not very useful. We're still short of medicine. May I ask when your medicine will arrive, President Jin?"

The president then raised his hand to receive the message, saying, "No rush. I've already had someone use their left hand to subdue him. I estimate the medicine will be brought over soon. I'll definitely let you know first, so please rest assured."

After that, Qin Shuangshuang stopped talking and the chairman, seeing that the other party was unwilling to reveal anything to him, turned his attention to the wealthy man next to him.

The wealthy man deliberately looked at Qin Shuangshuang's youthful face and then said, "You look very young. On the way here, my older brother told me you were a very young girl, and I didn't believe him at first."

I never expected you to be such a young girl. It's my destiny to meet you. Since you've come here to cooperate with me, I'd like to ask where you get your medicinal herbs.

Since you've already successfully saved lives, we'd like to share the formula and learn from you. We can also discuss things further with you, and if we all understand each other's illnesses, we can see whose medicine is more suitable, and wouldn't that lead to better and better outcomes?

Chairman Jin was surprised by the eloquence of the person next to him. He stroked his beard meaningfully and said, "My little brother is right. Miss Qin, why don't you consider bringing our people along? That would be helpful to you, wouldn't it?"

Qin Shuangshuang felt confused. Wasn't this person just trying to steal her medicinal herbs?

She guessed that the current president probably just wanted his own prescription for treating and saving lives.

Qin Shuangshuang shook her head and smiled, "It's just some medicinal herbs brought over by the government. There weren't many to begin with. Besides, I think the herbs you brought are more than enough, President Jin. We don't have many herbs left either; we're using what the government has left over."

The president nodded in understanding.

The wealthy man was standing to the side, still fuming and about to say something, when the chairman grabbed him and said, "Since your young lady is shy and unwilling to say, we don't need to ask. Once we figure out the secret recipe ourselves, you can consider negotiating with me again. That would be fine too."

Seeing that his elder brother was already considering giving up, the wealthy man said nothing more.

Qin Shuangshuang stood up and said to the current president, "There are too many people here now, and it's quite chaotic. Besides, there's a strong smell of blood everywhere, so it's probably not a suitable place for someone as important as you to stay."

There should be a clean place nearby; you can go there and stay if you'd like. I'm still waiting for your medicinal herbs! Thank you for your help, Chairman Jin.

Then, Qin Shuangshuang stood up and said goodbye. Lu Jun also said goodbye, and the two left together.

The wealthy man stood up and asked, puzzled, "Brother, why didn't you let me continue? Wouldn't it have been better if they had spilled the beans after I spoke?"

It was so close!

However, President Jin was extremely confident, saying, "You underestimate her. She won't say it."

She's got her sights set on this now. It seems we have to make a good impression, otherwise this young girl won't hand over the prescription for the cure. We can't let this opportunity slip away, no matter what.

The wealthy man nodded in agreement. "It seems this young lady is indeed shrewd. Very well, let's linger here for a couple of days."

"We need to get our hands on the prescription, otherwise how will we ever get rich?"
