"Alright, I understand."
Lin Zhilan replied, then said to Liu Chunhua, "Sister-in-law, take care of your wound, I'll head back first."
"It's nothing, it's nothing, you go back."
Lin Zhilan was wondering who was looking for her. As soon as she walked out the door, she saw Qian Changling standing there with large and small bags.
"Doctor Lin, I'm back!"
Qian Changling seemed a few years younger after this trip, his voice resonant and powerful.
Lin Zhilan smiled, "Factory Manager Qian, it must be good news, right?"
"Good news, great news!"
Lin Zhilan invited him in to sit down, and Jiang Chengzhou poured him tea.
"Oh, thank you, young man." Qian Changling quickly took it and praised, "Doctor Lin, you've raised your son well."
The corners of Lin Zhilan's mouth turned up. She patted Jiang Chengzhou's head, "Go play with your sister."
In Jiang Chengzhou's heart, his uncle and aunt were his father and mother. Seeing his aunt not refute the word "son," his heart felt as sweet as honey.
"Auntie, call me if you need help."
"Okay, go play."
After the child ran out, Qian Changling asked, "Doctor Lin, isn't that your son?"
Lin Zhilan: "Nephew, but he's just like a son."
"You are a good aunt!" Qian Changling gave her a thumbs up, then took a file bag out of his bag and handed it to her. "Doctor Lin, inside are the receipt of the pharmaceutical factory's prescription registration and the technology transfer agreement, which have already been filed with the Medical Administration Bureau.
You must keep this safe. With this, you can enjoy the attribution of the results in the future. No matter how the pharmaceutical factory develops, you will have a share of the credit."
Qian Changling was also excited. All five prescriptions had passed preclinical pharmacodynamics experiments, and the clinical trial results were also very significant.
The pharmaceutical factory was not even set up yet, but the hospitals involved in the clinical trials had already contacted him.
Although the Capital Pharmaceutical Factory was a large enterprise, they were also envious.
Former colleagues had even come to his home to look for him, saying it was the factory manager's intention that as long as he could persuade the donor to donate the prescriptions to the Capital Pharmaceutical Factory, she could name her price.
Not to mention that the military district kept a close eye on him and had long since transferred his household registration and grain and oil relations to the island.
Even Qian Changling himself felt a surge of pride when he received the inspection report.
Compared to contributing to the Capital Pharmaceutical Factory, starting from scratch on the island was more challenging and fulfilling.
"Thank you, Factory Manager Qian." Lin Zhilan checked all the documents in the file bag. The five prescriptions were all clearly written down one by one.
There was no unified intellectual property certificate right now. Under the planned economy, prescription donations were mostly free.
The fact that Qian Changling could get her this written donation agreement stamped with an official seal was already the only proof for the donor to claim the ownership of the prescription and enjoy subsequent related rights.
Lin Zhilan said gratefully, "Factory Manager Qian, eat at my home today."
"No, no, I still have a lot of things to do. I just came to give you these things this time." Qian Changling took a box of pastries out of his bag. "These are local specialties from the capital. Take them for the children to eat. I'll be leaving first."
"You..."
Qian Changling came and went in a hurry, not even finishing the tea poured for him.
...
The factory building was finally completed after rushing the work.
Several machines were also shipped over by boat.
Such large objects like machines were not deliberately concealed. They were openly transported to the factory building by soldiers driving pickup trucks. Those who saw it spread the word, and within two days, the entire military district knew about it.
Now the pharmaceutical factory had undoubtedly become the hottest topic in the military district.
Everyone loved to discuss it, but they were also somewhat wary of each other.
After all, there was a limited number of positions. Now there were too many people and too few positions. Everyone wanted to be a worker. If someone else took a quota, they would have one less opportunity.
This day, when Liu Chunhua and Chen Hehua went to buy vegetables in the morning, they were surrounded by a group of sisters-in-law.
"Aunt Hehua, Chunhua, we heard that the pharmaceutical factory has something to do with Doctor Lin. Is it true?"
Liu Chunhua played dumb, "How would we know? Even if there was a connection, Doctor Lin wouldn't tell us."
"Aren't you on good terms with her?"
"Yeah, we don't have any bad intentions. We just want to get more information."
"Chunhua, we are good sisters. You wouldn't hide anything you know from us, would you?"
"..."
"Stop, stop, stop," seeing them talking endlessly, Liu Chunhua interrupted, "Doctor Lin is a doctor and works in the hospital. Instead of asking her, you might as well ask the leaders. If there really are job opportunities, they will definitely be announced through the loudspeaker."
"Who doesn't know that? We just want to know some inside information, don't we?"
Liu Chunhua put her hands on her hips, "You know it's inside information, and you're still asking? Are you trying to make a mistake?"
"...It's not as serious as you say. Do you really not know?"
"I really don't know," Liu Chunhua said. "Doctor Lin is a busy person. Would she talk to me about this?"
"That's true..."
The military wives judged others by themselves. Liu Chunhua was just a neighbor. If there really was any inside information, Doctor Lin wouldn't need to tell Liu Chunhua.
Besides, everyone was watching.
If someone really pulled strings, they could just make a fuss then.
After sending these people away, Liu Chunhua broke a sweat.
She used to say that she couldn't keep her mouth shut, and even she felt that way. She didn't expect that when it concerned her own interests this time, keeping her mouth shut wasn't actually that difficult.
She happily affirmed herself in her heart and walked home cheerfully.
Chen Hehua, on the other hand, was thoughtful, looking like she had something on her mind.
Back home, Wang Rou was pruning flowers.
Chen Hehua was both happy and depressed.
The happy part was that her daughter-in-law was becoming more and more "normal."
Li Jiang was a romantic. If his wife was happy, he was happy.
Chen Hehua was not an evil mother-in-law, not the kind of person who couldn't stand seeing her daughter-in-law happy.
Wang Rou liked growing flowers, and that was fine.
But the old lady cherished the land.
Such a piece of land, like Liu Chunhua's, it would be so good to grow some melons, fruits, and vegetables. No matter how beautiful the flowers were, they couldn't be eaten or drunk.
"Mom, you're back." Wang Rou greeted her lightly.
"Yes, I'm back."
Chen Hehua put the vegetables in the kitchen, thought for a moment, then came out and asked, "Xiaorou, have you heard about the pharmaceutical factory recruiting workers?"
"No, Mom, what's wrong?" Wang Rou slowly put down the scissors, her back straight.
She always acted like this. Except for the time she fought with Song Fang, Chen Hehua had never seen her in high spirits.
Chen Hehua was an impatient person, but she happened to meet such a slow-tempered daughter-in-law.
After a few years of getting used to it, Wang Rou's temperament hadn't changed, but she had gotten used to it.
"I just wanted to ask you, if the pharmaceutical factory recruits people, do you want to sign up?"
Wang Rou thought about it. She really wanted to find something to do, but...
She also really didn't want to get along with other people.
She wondered if there was something wrong with her, but her sister had told her that this was normal and that everyone had a different personality.
"Mom, I want to discuss it with Sister Lin."
