Chapter 1000: Lonely Sulfa

The reason why Suning treated the blackmailer so cruelly this time was not only because he really hated him, but also because he wanted to make an example of him to scare the others.

After all, the most dangerous Secret Service is still hiding in the dark and watching him. This can be regarded as a warning to these real jackals. After all, he is not a weakling who can be bullied by them in their eyes.

Zheng Chaoyang, the head of the Confidential Section of the Beiping Police Department, looked at Master Duo in confusion and asked, "Master Duo, what's going on with the mourning stick?"

"Section Chief Zheng, it's all because of that bastard Kusangbang who didn't know how to live or die. He actually ran over to blackmail that fake foreigner, and now he had his limbs broken by the fake foreigner." At this moment, Duo Ye could be said to be as depressed as he could be.

"What? Is the injury from the mourning stick serious? Is there any possibility of recovery in the future?"

"Very little! These foreign devils were really ruthless, but they did pay a hundred dollars for the medical expenses. It seems they are not afraid of our Sijiucheng Police Department at all."

"So what did our director say?"

"I just came out of his office, and he scolded me like a bastard and sprayed dumpling stuffing all over my face."

"Huh?" It was a well-known fact that the police chief particularly loved eating dumplings. None of the people in the police station had not been sprayed with dumpling fillings by the chief.

"I won't talk to you anymore! Since that bastard Kusangbang is no longer worth treating, we might as well give this hundred dollars to his wife and daughter." Duo Ye said with a frustrated look as he cleaned the dumpling residue from his face.

"Alright! Thank you for your hard work then."

"Look at what you said, Chief Zheng. Aren't we all brothers who eat from the same pot?"

After the extremely depressed Mr. Duo left, Zheng Chaoyang, the head of the confidential department, showed a thoughtful expression.

As a well-known figure in the city, Zheng Chaoyang had naturally heard of this new overseas Chinese, but he did not expect that the other party would be so cruel.

"Chief Zheng, it seems that a fierce dragon has come to our Sijiu City?" Zong Xiangfang on the side suddenly looked at Zheng Chaoyang and said meaningfully.

"Old Zong, what do you think of this man named Andrian?" Zheng Chaoyang turned his head and asked Zong Xiangfang beside him.

"It's hard to say! I heard that all the penicillin found in Forty-Nine City came from him. This shows that this international businessman, Andrian, has quite a background."

"Lao Zong, there's one thing I don't quite understand. What's the difference between penicillin and sulfa?"

"Chief Zheng, you should go home and ask Doctor Zheng about this. After all, he's the expert in this area. But the effect of sulfa is really just that."

"That makes sense! Looks like I'll have to go home today."

……

At this time, Duo Ye had already arrived at Kusangbang's house and gave a hundred yuan to Kusangbang's wife.

However, Kusangbang and his wife do not have a good relationship. He spends his days eating, drinking, gambling and whoring outside and is not a good person. Now the couple is about to part ways.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry! I was there at the time and didn't persuade Brother Sang, otherwise he wouldn't have had his limbs broken by others." Duo Ye said apologetically with his head lowered in shame.

"Mr. Duo, don't blame yourself. This is the retribution that Crying Stick deserves." Crying Stick's wife didn't blame Mr. Duo at all. After all, she knew that these things were all caused by Crying Stick himself.

"Eh? Sister-in-law, since there's nothing else to do, I'll go back to the police station to do my job."

"No! Master Duo, I have one more thing I want to ask of you."

"Sister-in-law, you said, as long as it is something I can do, I will never say no."

"Master Duo, you should have heard that Sang Liuji, the damned one, actually forced my daughter to help him collect protection money."

"Huh? This is indeed known to everyone, and everyone is quite dissatisfied with it, but your Sang Liuji is a nobody."

"Master Duo, you're right! I don't care whether Kusang Bang is dead or alive, but I can't let him get my daughter into trouble, so can you please protect my daughter next time?"

"This……"

"Master Duo, Kusangbang is now a useless person. Those who were bullied by him in the past will definitely take revenge. Moreover, Sang Hong often goes to Kusangbang to collect protection money. I am worried that this group of people will directly retaliate against Sang Hong."

"Sister-in-law, this matter is indeed very tricky. What you are worried about will definitely happen, but Sang Liuji was too ruthless in this matter."

"Master Duo, as long as you can help our Sang Hong resolve the crisis, this hundred dollars will be your reward."

"Don't! Don't! Sister-in-law, please don't say that. You're just slapping me in the face!"

"Master Duo, we orphans and widows are begging you for help."

"Sister-in-law, Sang Hong, how about I show you the way?" Then the cunning and treacherous Master Duo suddenly looked at the mother and daughter in front of him thoughtfully and said.

"Ah? Master Duo, please speak."

"As the saying goes, the one who tied the bell must untie it! Since Sang Liuji was injured by that fake foreigner, Sang Hong's crisis naturally fell on the head of that fake foreigner."

"Ah? Master Duo, do you want Sang Hong to go find that foreigner?"

"He's not a pure-blooded foreigner! That Andrian is a foreigner of Chinese descent, but he's quite honest in his actions. He's even willing to pay for Sang Liuji's medical expenses. I think he should help Sang Hong resolve the crisis."

"Will he really?"

"Sister-in-law, how about I shamelessly take Sang Hong to find this Andrian?"

"Master Duo, thank you so much! As long as you are willing to step forward, you can definitely solve this problem."

"Sister-in-law, I can only say to give it a try, and don't have too high expectations."

Then Duo Ye took Sang Hong to the "Starry Sea" Hotel. After all, he realized that Suning was not a frivolous person, and maybe he could really help Sang Hong resolve the crisis.

However, at this moment, Su Ning looked at Mr. Duo with a bad face, "Mr. Duo, what do you mean by this?"

"Mr. Andrian, please don't misunderstand! Sang Liuji has offended too many people in Sijiu City. Now he has become a useless person with no threat. Those enemies will definitely retaliate against Sang Liuji. Aren't they worried that his daughter Sang Hong will be implicated?"

"Sang Hong?" Su Ning turned around in surprise and looked at the pretty girl who was standing timidly beside him.

"Yes! Mr. Andrian, she is Sang Hong, the daughter of Sang Liuji. She was forced to help Sang Liuji collect protection fees, so she must have been targeted by those enemies."

"Master Duo, do you want me to help the Sang family resolve these troubles?"

"Mr. Andrian, in fact, Sang Liuji's wife has been bedridden for many years. The enemy will definitely not provoke a patient. As for whether Sang Liuji is dead or alive, no one really cares, so it is their daughter Sang Hong who is the real culprit."

"Okay! Both the Jieyou Grocery Store and the Xingchenhai Hotel are very busy recently, so let Sang Hong come to my side and be my secretary."

"Mr. Andrian, I wonder who this secretary is?"

"It's similar to the situation of my previous personal maid, except that she usually helps me with some work."

"Hey, Mr. Andrian, now I understand." Duo Ye smiled with enlightenment, then turned to look at the timid Sang Hong and asked, "Sang Hong, are you willing to be Mr. Andrian's secretary?"

"I... I'm afraid I can't do it well." Sang Hong lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Su Ning and Duo Ye's explanation.

"It's okay! You can learn slowly if you don't know how. Besides, I can protect your safety. In addition, there will be a salary of 20 yuan a month, which I think will definitely allow you and your mother to live." "Thank you, sir! I am willing to be your secretary."

"Well, Andrian is my foreign name, and my Chinese name is Su Ning. From now on, you can call me Mr. Su or just Boss."

"Yes! Mr. Su."

Then Su Ning called his secretary Mu Chunhua in directly, and then looked directly at Mu Chunhua in front of him and said, "Xiao Mu, this is our new secretary Sang Hong. You will be responsible for taking care of her from now on."

"Yes! Mr. Su."

After Mu Chunhua took Sang Hong out of the office, Mr. Duo hurriedly stood up and said goodbye, "Mr. Su, since Sang Hong's matter has been resolved, I will go back to the police station to work."

"Okay! If you have the chance in the future, please come to our grocery store and show your support."

"Of course! Of course."

After Suning politely sent away the wise Mr. Duo, he suddenly remembered something about Sang Hong. It seemed that Sang Hong was also a character in the original drama of "Glorious Times".

Su Ning vaguely remembered that Sang Hong seemed to have been used by an external agent of the Secret Service and almost did something earth-shattering.

However, considering that the secret service's peripheral agent seemed to have come to Sijiucheng from Tianjin in 1948, Sang Hong had obviously not yet fallen victim to the other party.

Suning naturally didn't mind hiring this pretty girl as his secretary. After all, he was planning to set up a professional secretariat, which naturally required him to search for suitable "senior talents" from time to time.

……

In the evening, after finishing a relaxing day's work at the police station, Zheng Chaoyang eagerly returned home.

"Chaoyang, how come you have time to come back today?" Zheng Chaoshan looked at his younger brother in front of him with a puzzled look on his face. After all, his younger brother is usually a workaholic.

"Brother, I came here specifically to consult you about something."

"Oh? What's going on?"

"I recently heard that a large amount of penicillin appeared in Beijing, and I was curious about the difference between penicillin and the sulfa drug we used to use."

"Penicillin is also called penicillin, and the antibacterial mechanisms of penicillin and sulfonamide are completely different.

In addition, penicillin is an antibiotic and a bactericidal drug, so it can not only inhibit pathogens, but also kill pathogens. Its antibacterial mechanism is to inhibit the synthesis of bacterial cell walls.

Sulfonamide is a common antibacterial drug, classified as a bacteriostatic drug, so it only inhibits the growth and reproduction of pathogens but does not kill them. "

"Brother, does that mean sulfa is not as effective as penicillin?"

"Of course! After all, penicillin is now a strategic material for Western countries. It is definitely not comparable to primitive sulfonamides."

"So we don't have the ability to produce penicillin at all now?"

"Haha, Chaoyang, do you even need to ask that? We don't even have the ability to produce sulfanilamide right now. We have to import everything from abroad. Besides, the production of penicillin is only controlled by powerful countries like Britain, France, the United States, and the Soviet Union."

"It seems that Andrian is quite capable." Zheng Chaoyang couldn't help but feel moved at this moment.

"Chaoyang, who is Andrian?" Zheng Chaoshan asked knowingly as he looked at his brother in front of him.

"Oh! Andrian is an Albanian of Chinese descent. He suddenly came to our city recently to sell a large amount of penicillin."

"Chaoyang, international traders like this are no ordinary people. Try to stay away from them in the future."

"Don't worry! I'm not a three-year-old child."

After Zheng Chaoyang figured out the difference between sulfa and penicillin, he did not keep it with Zheng Chaoshan, and then found another excuse to leave.

As the top agent of the Kuomintang, Zheng Chaoshan naturally knew that his brother was no ordinary person. He just looked at Zheng Chaoyang's back meaningfully, and then sat back down to make his own handmade leather bags without saying anything.

After Zheng Chaoyang left home, he immediately went to Xian Dengkui to purchase supplies. After all, the recent wars have become more and more intense, and the consumption of medicines is a huge number every day.

"Boss Xian, we haven't seen each other for a long time! I miss you so much!" Zheng Chaoyang looked at Xian Dengkui with a smile on his face and bowed to him with his luggage.

"Haha, Brother Zheng, come and sit here! These cigars have just arrived from Cuba, come and taste them with me." Seeing that it was his big client who came, Xian Dengkui was naturally surprised to invite Zheng Chaoyang to sit down.

"Great! I haven't smoked a cigar in a long time."

"If you like it, Brother Zheng, take a box with you when you leave later."

"Boss Xian, I came here this time because I want some medicine." Then Zheng Chaoyang went straight to the point and explained to Xian Dengkui in front of him.

"No problem! How much sulfanilamide does Brother Zheng need this time?"

"Boss Xian, I'm not here to buy sulfa this time, but I want to buy a batch of penicillin."

"penicillin?"

"That's right! I believe you, Boss Xian, must have the goods."

"Yes, we do have it! But the price is too high. Brother Zheng, you definitely can't afford it."

"Oh? How high can it be?"

"Brother Zheng, we're both experts in this business, so I won't tell you the difference between sulfa and penicillin. A pack of ten penicillin doses costs fifteen hundred dollars."

"What? How can it be so expensive?" Zheng Chaoyang's eyes widened in shock.

"There's nothing we can do! It's a special medicine! Naturally, the price is also very scary." At this time, Xian Dengkui had an attitude of sitting back and watching the scenery.

"Boss Xian, we've been friends for many years. Can you give me a little discount?"

"I'm sorry, Brother Zheng. I can't give you a penicillin penicillin penicillin, but I can give you a 30% discount on sulfa."

“40% off!”

"65% off."

"Boss Xian, now that we have the effective medicine penicillin, you're going to be in trouble for the sulfa drugs you've accumulated."

"Brother Zheng, I still have two tons of sulfa drugs. If you take them all this time, I'll give you a 40% discount."

"make a deal."

Although Zheng Chaoyang already knew that sulfa was far inferior to penicillin, sulfa was still an important material urgently needed by our army. It was still a good thing to be able to get so much sulfa at a low price.
