A miraculous doctor descended from the heavens.
Chapter 256 You guys are really going a bit too far.
The three sat down at the dining table, and Su Man'er served each of them a bowl of soup.
Wild beasts roam the mountains, geese fly in the clouds, cattle and sheep graze on land, and seafood abounds in the sea. This slow-cooked soup is the result of a lot of effort put into making by Su Man'er, who is skilled in food and cooking.
The show "Foreign Daughter-in-Law, Local Son-in-Law" often says: "The worst thing is having to cook delicious soup every day."
But making soup is no problem for Su Man'er at all. As long as she's happy, she can make different kinds of soup every day.
Now the situation has reversed, with the wife being a local and the husband being from out of town. Can this out-of-town husband, Gu Feng, get used to her Cantonese soup?
"I've been simmering this soup since this morning. It's very nourishing, so drink it while it's hot," Su Man'er said with a smile, inviting the two of them to drink it.
Gu Feng picked up the bowl, took a small sip, and found it to be just the right consistency—smooth, flavorful, and with a lingering sweetness. He couldn't help but exclaim, "What a delicious soup!"
"Mmm, it's delicious." Shi Yurou nodded repeatedly. The usually refined Shi Yurou didn't care about etiquette in front of the delicious noodles and sipped it down.
For a housewife, the greatest satisfaction is seeing her family eat happily and drink comfortably.
Seeing the two of them enjoying their soup, Su Man'er, who had been feeling down all afternoon because of her misunderstanding, finally relaxed. It was as if their drinking the soup meant they had forgiven her.
"Gu Feng, Sister Rou, I wronged you today without clarifying the truth, I'm really sorry. I know you must be very angry with me, especially Sister Rou, I not only scolded you, but also hit you, I'm really... sorry." Su Man'er awkwardly expressed her apology.
Gu Feng and Shi Yurou exchanged a glance and couldn't help but smile.
"Forget it, since it was a misunderstanding, let it go. But that slap of yours almost knocked my teeth out." Shi Yurou playfully covered her cheek.
"Then...then I'll have Gu Feng take a look at you," Su Man'er quickly replied.
"You still dare to let him see?" Shi Yurou feigned surprise, widening her eyes.
"Why can't you see him? You're not fully recovered yet. Don't worry, I'll never misunderstand you again. Even if you two get back together, I won't care."
"Huh?" Gu Feng and Shi Yurou looked at each other again.
"You can't make jokes like that." Shi Yurou's heart was pounding.
"I'm not joking..." Su Man'er stopped mid-sentence, her eyes filled with resentment as she looked at Gu Feng.
Gu Feng was a little embarrassed. Of course he knew what Su Man'er wanted to say—she was saying that he had other women outside, and it was better to give the one he was close to than to those other women.
In a way, this can be considered keeping the benefits within the family.
Although Shi Yurou couldn't tell whether Su Man'er's words were true or false, they made her heart pound with fear.
Just like today, if she hadn't been so restrained and Gu Feng hadn't gone any further, this misunderstanding would probably have been more than just a misunderstanding.
Afraid of upsetting Su Man'er, Gu Feng dared not respond and simply buried himself in his food.
Su Man'er's soup was indeed fragrant, and the dishes were cooked to his liking.
Unfortunately, he had just had a big meal at noon, and this meal, which was hard to define as lunch, dinner, or what the petit bourgeoisie call afternoon tea, really didn't have much of an appetite.
Even so, he still drank three bowls of soup and ate two bowls of rice, and then collapsed on the sofa without moving—he was too full.
After clearing the dining table, Su Man'er and Shi Yurou came to the living room. Seeing Gu Feng lying on the sofa, clutching his stomach and panting, the two couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle.
"Gu Feng, there's something I'd like to discuss with you." Su Man'er handed Gu Feng a glass of hawthorn water to aid digestion.
"What is it?" Gu Feng took the cup and took a sip.
Su Man'er glanced at Shi Yurou, and after receiving an encouraging look from her, she finally spoke up: "I want to go into business with Sister Rou."
"What kind of business?" Gu Feng asked casually.
"Let's open a pharmaceutical factory," Su Man'er said, surprising everyone.
"Huh?" Gu Feng was taken aback. He didn't have much of a concept of doing business, nor did he understand modern commerce, but he did have eyes. There were factories of all sizes around Portland Street, some with a hundred or so employees, some with three to five thousand, and some with tens of thousands.
Although he didn't know the exact size of the pharmaceutical factory the two women were talking about, judging from the serious expressions on their faces, it was probably not a small-scale project.
He originally thought the two were just joking around, opening a small shop or something, but he never expected that they would start talking about a pharmaceutical factory.
"Sisters, aren't you going a bit too far with this?" Gu Feng asked hesitantly.
Shi Yurou shook her head: "It's not very big."
In Gu Feng's memory, Shi Yurou wasn't one to lie, so he breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this, but still couldn't help asking, "So how much money are you planning to put in?"
"Fifty million." Shi Yurou said casually, almost knocking Gu Fenglei to his knees.
You can't judge a book by its cover. These two women are really daring.
Gu Feng looked at the two of them, his face slightly pale: "Such a grand gesture?"
"It's not a huge amount. Under normal circumstances, without connections, 50 million really isn't enough to start a pharmaceutical factory. But Sister Rou has a wide network of connections and acquaintances in all sorts of ways. We did a thorough budgeting, and 50 million is barely enough."
"But...do you have that much money?" Gu Feng couldn't help but ask again.
"I'll contribute ten million, Sister Rou will contribute ten million, and Xu Yan, Chen Qingqing, and Zhao Xiaojing will pool together fifteen million," Su Man'er said, counting on her fingers.
"What about the remaining 15 million?" Gu Feng pressed.
"We can borrow the rest from the bank," Shi Yurou said nonchalantly.
Gu Feng wanted to say, "Do you think the bank is yours to lend money to whenever you want?" But seeing her determined expression, he figured the matter was probably already settled, so he kept quiet.
"We plan to turn this pharmaceutical factory into a joint-stock company, with the shares divided into four parts," Shih Yu-jou said.
"One for you, one for my sister, one for Xu Yan and the others, so where's the last one?" Gu Feng asked Shi Yurou with a puzzled look.
"You," the two women said in unison.
"Me? I don't have any money." Gu Feng subconsciously spread his hands.
"But you have the skills," Shi Yurou said, smiling at him.
Su Man'er didn't reply, only smiled. Gu Feng was actually wealthy, but all the money was in her hands; otherwise, where would she get the capital to invest? The reason she didn't point it out was because she had a little plan in mind: once the pharmaceutical factory was up and running, she and Gu Feng would jointly own half the shares. With more than half, they would have absolute say. At that time, her words as the major shareholder would carry weight.
"What skills do I have?" Gu Feng asked, puzzled.
"That aphrodisiac and kidney-tonifying pill suitable for middle-aged and elderly men?" Su Man'er blinked.
"Huh?" Gu Feng was stunned, his mind buzzing. "You want to set up this pharmaceutical factory because of... my pill?"
"Congratulations, Gu Feng, you got it right." Su Man'er smiled.
"Oh my god—" Gu Feng felt a sudden dizziness, and his head started to ache.
"Gu Feng, what's wrong?" Su Man'er sat down next to him anxiously.
"My head hurts," Gu Feng said, pointing to his head.
Su Man'er quickly extended her slender fingers and gently massaged his temples: "Is that better?"
Gu Feng shook his head and sighed, "You guys really dare to do whatever you want."
"Hmm? Why do you say that, doctor?" Shi Yurou asked curiously.
"I just casually made some pills, and you guys actually dare to make a big deal out of it? I'm truly speechless." Gu Feng said, both amused and exasperated.
"Just casually? No way, so many people have tried it and said it's effective." Su Man'er became serious.
"Well...maybe it's just a coincidence." Gu Feng shook his head again.
"Hehe, doctor, you don't need to be so modest. I sent your medicine to a very authoritative pharmaceutical engineering technology research center in Beijing for testing. Their analysis report gave it a very high rating, and they even offered to establish a development collaboration with us for this drug. It was seeing their conclusions that gave me the confidence and determination to work with Man'er and the others on this drug," Shi Yurou explained.
"That's right, instead of cooperating with others, we might as well do it ourselves," Su Man'er chimed in.
Clearly, these two women had done their homework before deciding to start a pharmaceutical factory.
Seeing that Gu Feng remained silent, Shi Yurou couldn't help but ask, "Doctor, don't you have confidence in your medicine?"
"Of course we're confident, but this is no small matter. You... shouldn't you reconsider?" Gu Feng asked.
"We've already considered it," the two women said in unison.
"Are you really sure?" Gu Feng asked again.
"Yes." The two nodded emphatically.
"Since you have so much faith in me, then do it." Gu Feng sighed.
"Yay, that's great!" The two girls clapped their hands in celebration, looking as happy as if they had won the lottery.
