Chapter 92: Agent Business

　　Someone was knocking on the door. Jiang Youtao went to open it. It was Zhong Qianxi, followed by Meng Linyi.

　　"Weiwei and Manqiu are not here. I was a little worried about you, so I came to see you." After traveling to this world, Zhong Qianxi has clearly understood how fragile the women in this world are, and how annoying the men in this world are.

　　Although she knew that Jiang Youtao was extremely strong, she was still worried.

　　So after she finished her work, she came over. Coincidentally, Meng Linyi also wanted to come to the dormitory in Xingfu Lane to sleep, so they came together.

　　Jiang Youtao has been living a group life since she came here. After Gu Nianwei and Xu Manqiu left, she felt lonely and couldn't adapt to the quietness of the night. She was more than happy to have Zhong Qianxi come to accompany her.

　　Meng Linyi just moved into the dormitory today. She is the only one in her dormitory, so when Jiang Youtao invited her to stay here, she agreed.

　　Her room was very quiet. The landlord couple were old and didn't like to talk. She could not hear a single reply even if she chatted with them for ten sentences. Her roommate had asked for leave and went home and had not come back yet. She was a little scared to be alone.

　　After washing up, the three of them lay on the kang in Jiang Youtao's room. Jiang Youtao curiously asked how the two knew each other.

　　Zhong Qianxi and Meng Linyi, one is a staff member of the agricultural science station who spends all day working in the fields, and the other is a nurse at the health center. Zhong Qianxi is in good health and has not been injured recently. Logically speaking, they have nothing to do with each other.

　　Zhong Qianxi now thinks it was just a coincidence, and Meng Linyi also thinks it was fate.

　　Meng Linyi said: "Last month, a Chinese medicine in the clinic was gone and a patient needed it urgently, so I went up the mountain to collect the medicine. It rained heavily and I was trapped on the mountain. When I was going down the mountain, I met Qianxi. If Qianxi hadn't led me, I think I would have had to spend the night on the mountain that day."

　　Meng Linyi is not a local and is not familiar with the mountains here. The only reason she dared to go up the mountain alone was because she had snatched some talisman paper from the group that could repel wild beasts, snakes and insects.

　　But the mountains in Northeast China were still very dangerous in the 1970s. Although there were no wild animals, snakes or insects, there were many other dangers. The forest was covered with fallen leaves, which became extremely slippery after the rain. If you slipped and fell into a ravine, you might die in it and no one would know.

　　Especially late at night, when the forest is pitch black and the wind blows, the branches sway in the wind, making a rustling sound, and the sound of ghosts howling is terrifying.

　　After hearing this, Jiang Youtao knew.

　　The protagonist's entrepreneurial journey is bound to be bumpy. When Meng Linyi first started making medicine, because the species on Blue Star were different from those in the plane world, she had to go up the mountain repeatedly to search and compare in order to make a medicine.

　　It's common to get lost and stranded in the mountains because of rain like this.

　　But the protagonist of the novel was also lucky. When she was taking shelter from the rain, she happened to step on a medicinal herb, which happened to be the main ingredient in the prescription.

　　It was a dose of hemostatic powder. No matter how deep the wound was, the bleeding would stop as long as the hemostatic powder was sprinkled on it. Not only that, the hemostatic powder could also effectively inhibit wound infection. Such hemostatic powder was widely used in medicine. If these things were used on the battlefield, they would save countless soldiers' lives.

　　Later, her prescription was purchased by the state and only given to specific pharmaceutical factories for production, and the prescription was kept confidential.

　　It was also because of this prescription that Meng Linyi's name became known in the medical community. Unfortunately, this secret prescription was eventually handed over to foreigners by Ji Youshang, that idiot.

　　When Meng Linyi was brought down the mountain by Zhong Qianxi, she had already successfully collected the medicine and made the powder. What was lacking now was a large number of clinical trials.

　　"What a fate." Nowadays, you need a ticket to do anything, even to eat meat. Zhong Qianxi has never been a person who likes to fool herself. Her long military career has enabled her to acquire a pretty good barbecue skill.

　　She would go hunting in the mountains from time to time. If she got a lot, she would send it to Jiang Youtao and the others. If she got less, she would grill it and eat it herself. Seeing how much she liked grilling, Jiang Youtao gave her two large bags of grilling ingredients, one original and one spicy.

　　Zhong Qianxi likes spicy food, which is especially strong. She would crave barbecue if she doesn't eat it for three days.

　　The reason why she went up the mountain on that rainy day was because she was so greedy and wanted to eat barbecue.

　　"Xiao Meng is simply a genius in making medicine. Last time I was injured and bled a lot. If it weren't for the medicine powder Xiao Meng made, I would have suffered a lot."

　　As someone who marches all year round, no one knows better than her how much help a good and effective hemostatic medicine can be to them.

　　If they were still in Fengzhao, Zhong Qianxi would have kidnapped Meng Linyi and taken him to her army.

　　"That's amazing." Jiang Youtao exclaimed.

　　Meng Linyi felt very embarrassed by the compliments and kept being modest. She really didn't think it was her own credit. She got the prescription from the red envelope group. The only time she spent effort was to find similar herbs to replace them.

　　Anyone with a basic knowledge of pharmacy can do this.

　　Seeing that she was really embarrassed, Jiang Youtao didn't continue the topic and instead asked about Zhong Qianxi and Meng Pucun.

　　Meng Pucun is a technician who came to the Agricultural Science Station at the beginning of the year. He is a partner with Zhong Qianxi, and the two of them have some potential.

　　Zhong Qianxi said: "It's just like that, neither salty nor bland, but he did mention the marriage to me. I thought about it and asked him if he could accept the child having my last name and he would marry into the family, and he didn't say anything."

　　Zhong Qianxi didn't care whose surname the child took, but in order to avoid returning to the family like other women in the world after marriage, spending every day around the children and the husband, she had to put forward the conditions in advance. If they were willing, she would continue to live with them, and if they were not willing, she didn't care.

　　It's hard to find a three-legged man, but there are plenty of two-legged men. Meng Pucun looks to her liking and behaves in a way that she likes, but so what, he's not worth her giving up her career.

　　When it comes to relationships, Zhong Qianxi is so free and easy that people envy her.

　　After Zhong Qianxi finished speaking, she asked Jiang Youtao, "How about you and Fu Shaohua?"

　　Jiang Youtao said, "It's still the same. I'm still young now, and I have to be 18 years old or later to officially date."

　　Jiang Youtao said, and Zhong Qianxi nodded: "It's better to date someone who's older, because they won't be easily deceived."

　　After talking about their relationship, Jiang Youtao asked Meng Linyi casually, "Linyi, do you have a partner?"

　　Meng Linyi wanted to shake her head, but suddenly remembered that she seemed to have a fiancé in this body, and said, "I have a fiancé."

　　Jiang Youtao seemed very curious and asked a few more questions. It was not something that could not be said. Meng Linyi said, "My parents and his parents are old friends, but we have rarely seen each other since we were young. Later, I went to nursing school and he was in the medical school next door, but we didn't see each other very often. We were all very busy."

　　Jiang Youtao heard this, and it was exactly the same as what was written in the novel. Jiang Youtao didn't say anything, but Zhong Qianxi asked: "Besides him, have you ever been attracted to other men?"

　　Zhong Qianxi had had this experience before. When she was eleven or twelve years old, she followed her mother back to Beijing to apply for a job. She met a very good-looking man. At that time, she didn't know what it meant to like him or not, but she just felt that the man looked very comfortable. However, when she returned to the border, she never thought about that unknown man whom she had never seen again.

　　Meng Linyi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered her previous life.

　　She had a first love boyfriend, he was her high school classmate, he was the first, she was the second, they competed with each other every semester, and in the process, they fell in love with each other. After graduating from college, she was admitted to the Department of Pharmacy of Capital University, and he was admitted to the Department of Chemistry of Qingdao University next door.

　　Although they were in the same city and their schools were not far from each other, they were both busy with their studies and did not meet often. Most of their communication was through the Internet.

　　During the summer vacation of their freshman year, they went on a trip to Tibet together. They encountered a major earthquake, and he died while protecting her.

　　Since then, Meng Linyi has never had a boyfriend again.

　　"Yes, who hasn't had a brilliant person in their youth? I have met one, so I will never be tempted again." He appeared in Meng Linyi's youth, and he also became her boyfriend, so she has no regrets.

　　In this life, she has no plans to get married. She has a red envelope group with all kinds of strange prescriptions, enough for her to study for a lifetime.

　　This time, she just wanted to work hard, do her best, and fight for the relief of human suffering all her life.

　　She has already sent the letter of breaking off the engagement, and she will probably receive a reply from the Ji family in two days.

　　In the darkness, Jiang Youtao raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and then asked: "I heard a strange story today. It's about a family whose husband died, and she married a man who looked very similar to her husband. What do you think of this?"

　　Zhong Qianxi put herself in the shoes of the man she married later: "Is she crazy? What did the man she married later do wrong that he had to be used as a substitute?"

　　Meng Linyi was also disgusted. She had also read the novel. When she was in high school, there was a novel about a body double that was very popular. The girls in her class passed it around and cried their eyes out.

　　Meng Linyi was very curious and read the book as well. However, she did not feel moved at all after finishing it. She just felt that everyone in the book was abnormal.

　　"I think it's quite sick. If you have someone in your heart, just stay single quietly, or else clear out the person in your heart and let the new person move in. What's the point of treating someone as a substitute?"

　　Meng Linyi thought that if a man with the face of her first love appeared in her life, she would stay as far away from him as possible. It was not because she was afraid, nor because she was afraid of falling in love with someone with that face again, but because she felt that if she looked at that man for even one more moment, it would be a blasphemy to the person she deeply loved.

　　There was a popular saying in the previous life that people who you truly love cannot be friends. By the same token, if you truly love someone, you will not allow the existence of a substitute.

　　If there is a substitute, it is not true love.

　　Meng Linyi's righteous and stern words made Jiang Youtao look subtle.

　　If Meng Linyi knew that she would become someone who treated others as a substitute in the future, no one knew how Meng Linyi would react.

　　But a person's thoughts will not change, so the question is, in the book, why is it that Meng Linyi can't leave Ji Youshang because he looks like her first love?

　　[ Tongzi, do you provide a substitute service? I'll pay you twenty melon coins, and you beat up No. 9. ] Jiang Youtao couldn't think of any other reason why Meng Linyi, who had this idea, would do something like looking for a substitute, except that she was influenced by the stupid little world consciousness.

　　The melon-eating system was distracted from the joy of grabbing red envelopes. It had saved a lot of money during this period, but today it was too excited to draw red envelopes, and it was unlucky. All the things it drew were useless, and its melon coins were almost gone.

　　The twenty melon coins that Jiang Youtao mentioned greatly stimulated the melon-eating system.

　　[ Yes, host, don't worry. ] The melon-eating system replied to Jiang Youtao seriously, then established a connection with the consciousness of the No. 9 small world, and beat it up before it could react.

　　Small world No. 9 was already weak, and it couldn't resist when the melon-eating system wanted to beat it. It cried out in pain, saying that it had done nothing wrong. A woman's life is incomplete if she doesn't get married.

　　If Meng Linyi's idea of not getting married wasn't too deeply rooted, it wouldn't have done so.

　　The speech of the mentally retarded is suffocating.

　　Jiang Youtao received the video of the melon-eating system beating up No. 9, and was so happy that she gave it two more melon coins.

　　The melon-eating system was also very happy. It was counting money and calculating how many red envelopes it could send out, how many times the consciousness of the No. 9 small world could withstand being beaten, and how many times it could fight on behalf of others in the subsequent small worlds and how many melon coins it could earn.

　　Chigua System thinks that the proxy business is a very promising job!

　　The consciousness of the big world and the main brain noticed that No. 9 was beaten, but they didn't care.

　　Who wants to clean up other people's butts all the time? These little worlds are too stupid, and they are annoying too!
