Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Chapter 968 Proposal

After listening to Zhou Mingxuan's example, the captain really started to think about it seriously.

If he really faced such a situation, he would probably not believe that person at all and would just think that person was lying.

So many doctors couldn’t cure it, but he, who knew no medical skills, could.

Even if he has a high status, I would not believe it.

He sighed deeply, "Is there really no other way? That's a human life at stake."

"If this prescription cannot be delivered, when Xiaoxue formulates a special medicine for this epidemic, I'm afraid it can only be used by our production team and cannot be promoted."

Although they pushed the matter aside, since it involved the plague, how could Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao just sit there and watch without helping at all?

But in today's world, they cannot afford to ignore their families.

After Zhou Mingxuan whispered to Zhao Junhao for a few words, Zhou Mingxuan spoke again.

"Don't be discouraged, Captain, there is hope.

Although Haozi's elders and I cannot send the recipe here, there are people who can do it.

Moreover, handing the matter over to them is a professional match and can make people more convinced.”

The captain's eyes, which had been dark, brightened up again when he heard this. He quickly asked,

"Zhou Zhiqing, Zhao Zhiqing, do you two have any ideas?"

Zhou Mingxuan nodded, "Don't bother two people with one thing. This matter still has to fall on the shoulders of Liu Jingxue, the educated youth."

"Captain, you and Secretary Xu are right.

If you hand in this recipe, it is possible that it will not be taken seriously and you will have to get it arranged by your superiors.

But even if it is from above, you have to choose someone, preferably someone related to medicine, but not others."

"Captain, have you forgotten that some soldiers came to Liu Zhiqing last time and asked her for the formula?

Since they came to Liu Zhiqing to ask for the prescription, it means they have used Liu Zhiqing's medicine and know that her medicine is good.

Asking for a recipe means you want to make your own medicine.

Since they are in the military and are related to medicine, their words are much more convincing than those of the laymen in my family and Haozi's family."

Zhou Mingxuan never said that those people came to ask for the formula in order to open a military pharmaceutical factory.

After all, he had signed a confidentiality agreement, so he couldn't reveal a single word of what he shouldn't say.

"That's true, but we can't contact those people," the captain said distressedly.

Zhao Junhao shook his head and laughed, "Captain, we can't get in touch with him, but we still have Liu Zhiqing.

I don't believe she doesn't have those people's contact information.

Since you are not going to tell her about handing over the formula anyway, you might as well tell her about this and see what she says."

The captain thought about it for a moment and decided that this was indeed a solution.

It is not much better for the military and medicine-related departments, such as military hospitals, to come forward than for individuals.

"Then I will go to see Liu Zhiqing tomorrow morning and talk to her about both things."

The captain looked at Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao.

"Zhou Zhiqing, Zhao Zhiqing, why don't you tell your family about the epidemic and ask them to put pressure on us and have someone investigate this matter?"

Zhou Mingxuan nodded without hesitation and agreed, "That's no problem, we can call home.

But the production team is not preventing people from coming and going as they please, captain, please take a look at this."

The captain thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to the commune tomorrow, you guys should come with me then.

I could use the commune office's phone.

There are so many sick people in town right now that using the pay phone at the post office isn't safe."

The captain made this arrangement because he was worried that the two people would agree verbally but not take it seriously and would not call back.

At that time, he would stand outside and watch the two of them call back.

In order to make his superiors take the epidemic seriously, the team leader was shameless and acted like a hooligan.

How could Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao, who are as smart as men, not understand the captain's thoughts?

Zhao Junhao took advantage of the captain's inattention and tugged at Zhou Mingxuan's clothes. After getting his attention, he quickly drew a tick on him, indicating that he agreed with the captain's words.

He wanted to nod or wink, but it was dark and no one could see him nodding or winking.

Zhou Mingxuan understood, and soon after the captain finished speaking, he said, "Okay, no problem.

Then when the captain is ready to leave tomorrow, come and tell us, and we will go with you."

After the captain left, the two of them slowly walked home.

Zhao Junhao asked Zhou Mingxuan in a low voice, "Mingxuan, do we really need to tell our family about this epidemic?

But this is just speculation and has not been confirmed.

If I tell my family what they did, and later it turns out that it wasn’t true, wouldn’t that allow them to make a mistake?”

“But if this is true, we are here but haven’t told our families.

If the epidemic spreads and many people die, others will think that we told them but they concealed it.

So, you still have to tell them.

Your grandfather and my grandfather are not much smarter than us. They are both old foxes.

We just need to tell them the specifics of what to do, they are much more experienced than us, so you don’t have to worry about them.”

Zhao Junhao nodded in agreement, "That's true.

With their brains, we don't need to worry about them."

"Let's tell them what happened. If it's confirmed to be true, with people from above watching, the officials here won't dare to let their guard down.

And the higher-ups can also provide support.

We don't know any medical skills, so we can't help much in this matter, but this is our part in helping the people here."

Zhou Mingxuan sighed. Deep down, he still hoped that this would be proven untrue and that it would be a false alarm.

Although if this were true, it would be somewhat embarrassing for Xiaoxue and the elders, but compared with the lives of so many people, they would not care about losing a little face.

Seeing that home was not far ahead, Zhao Junhao slapped his head and said,

"Mingxuan, should we go tell Xiaoxue about what the captain just said?

At least let her think it over and be prepared, so as not to be caught off guard by the captain."

Zhou Mingxuan stopped and said hesitantly,

“Although it is dark now, after a day of commotion today, I guess many villagers are still cooking.

Didn’t the loudspeaker say that people would be stationed at all entrances and exits of the production team to prevent people from entering and leaving at will?

When we usually go to their place, we go up the mountain and go down from the opening behind them.

There must be someone guarding that hole.

If someone sees us, the two men will go to find Xiaoxue at night, and spread the news, which will ruin Xiaoxue's reputation."

Zhao Junhao also frowned when he heard this, but after a while his brows relaxed again and he said with some consideration,

"The team is so busy today, maybe they haven't arranged the guards yet."

Zhou Mingxuan thought about it and shook his head, "Forget it, let's not go over there, so as not to cause trouble for Xiaoxue.

I don't think she would refuse the two things the captain mentioned.

We'd better not go there recently, so as not to be exposed."

"Okay, it's up to you."
