Ye Zhaoxian and others were explaining the entire product transportation route and arrival area next to several large trucks. Except for Lin Yao and Long Yihun, all the members of the preparation team were standing next to him. Lin Yao was huddled in a corner, while Long Yihun was responsible for taking pictures with a miniature camera.
Lin Yao's appearance was unrecognizable to anyone. Even Luo Jimin, who came to pick him up, didn't recognize his son, and Lin Yao was scolded by his father for a long time. However, Lin Yao had no way to explain himself. He couldn't very well tell his father that he had been doxxed online.
Compared to Luo Jimin's overreaction, the young people were more receptive to new things, surrounding Lin Yao to ask for his advice on disguise techniques. Lin Yao had to spend a lot of time explaining to them to temporarily suppress their curiosity, and even promised to open a forum to teach in the future.
Lin Yao did not show his face during the filming, and Long Yihun was also asked by Lin Yao not to show his face. He had important matters to entrust to Long Yihun in the future, and it would be inconvenient if he showed his face. In fact, their names were not even on the list of the preparatory team published on the official website of Minhong Company. This behavior of disregarding personal reputation made Ye Zhaoxian and others admire them even more. However, admiration is admiration, but they themselves must show their faces. This is a great achievement for their future careers, and they would be doing themselves a disservice if they did not promote it.
The first batch, consisting of 500,000 bottles totaling 50 tons, was transported to Yuanmou County, Yunnan Province, by four large trucks. Long Yihun and another man named Gu Jicheng were responsible for escorting the shipment. They were to meet with volunteers from across the country in Yunnan, provide training, and then collaborate with local government agencies to begin disaster relief donations and sales.
Of the first two representatives, Long Yihun was representing the company to organize the work on the front lines, while Gu Jicheng's family was affiliated with the Ministry of Transport. Although the transportation company they contacted had sufficient credibility and guarantees, he wanted to demonstrate his importance to the company by accompanying them on the shipment for the first time, which would facilitate future beverage transportation.
"Ah Long, you need to take good care of yourself in Yunnan. Don't give your daily drink ration to the disaster victims; you must drink it yourself. Without good health, you can't help the disaster victims as much as possible. Remember, you're not just a simple volunteer; there's a lot of work waiting for you." Lin Yao reminded Long Yihun again. He was worried that this kind-hearted but somewhat impulsive brother might neglect his health after seeing the situation in the disaster area, which would cause even more trouble if something went wrong.
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself." Long Yihun was somewhat downcast, not like a vanguard soldier about to embark on a great mission.
What's wrong? Lin Yao knew his brother well; at this moment, he should be overjoyed no matter what. This low mood meant that something must have happened, and his heart immediately jumped.
"It's nothing." Long Yihun shook his head, his eyelids still drooping, and the dark circles under his eyes were very obvious in the dim light.
"Tell me, what happened? How can I feel at ease letting you go to such a far place for disaster relief if you don't tell me? The conditions there are harsh. If you have something on your mind, your body will break down immediately." Lin Yao turned Long Yihun's body around and looked at him seriously, face to face.
"It's Xiaolin, Xiaolin is getting married." Long Yihun pursed his lips, the veins on his neck bulging, and his hands clenched into fists.
"Oh, I see. No wonder." Lin Yao understood the reason. It seemed Long Yihun was serious this time. Lin Yao decided to help him. "What happened to Xiaolin? Isn't she living at your house?"
“No, her family somehow got the news and a few people came and forcibly took her away last week. She’s currently under house arrest in Beijing.” Long Yihun’s voice was filled with sadness and resentment. “Last night she called me and said that her family has arranged for her to marry that man surnamed Huang soon. She cried all night on the phone.”
Lin Yao felt the same resentment as Long Yihun. A girl who was about to leave this world was being used as a tool by her family to exchange for benefits. These parents were really too heartless.
Lin Yao patted Long Yihun on the shoulder, "Tell me honestly, have you and Xiaolin slept together?"
Long Yihun stared wide-eyed at Lin Yao. He hadn't expected Lin Yao to ask such a question at this moment. Seeing the sincerity in Lin Yao's eyes, he suppressed his doubts and displeasure. His brother would never joke about him like this; there must be a deeper meaning. So he nodded without speaking, his face showing painful reluctance.
"Ah Long, do you believe me?" Lin Yao asked very seriously.
"Of course, if I don't even believe you, who else in this world can I believe?" Long Yihun replied formally.
"Alright," Lin Yao immediately sped up. They were about to leave, and there was no time to dawdle. He also wanted to ensure that Long Yihun was in good condition for this trip, otherwise he would regret it if he collapsed in the disaster area. "Listen to me, contact Xiaolin immediately and ask her to find a way to collect 200cc of blood, seal it properly, refrigerate it, and send it to me."
"I've made some progress on the blood sample you sent me a while ago, and with a little more effort, I can help you. Listen to me, this time I'll prepare some poison for Xiaolin based on her constitution."
Before Lin Yao could finish speaking, he saw Long Yihun staring at him with a horrified expression. He quickly scolded, "What are you thinking? Would I really harm my sister-in-law? This poison is superficial. On one hand, it can stabilize her genetic disease and delay its onset. On the other hand, it can release some external symptoms in advance, making Xiaolin appear as if she has already fallen ill, and her physical tissues and appearance will become very bad. Of course, the Huang family would not accept such a bride."
"After all, although it is a political marriage, dying suddenly after marriage and being seriously ill before marriage are two completely different concepts. These politicians care about their reputation and will not let people know about this. They must have many enemies in the officialdom and will not let such a handle be used against them by their enemies to lie."
Ignoring Long Yihun's increasingly bright eyes, Lin Yao continued, "As long as Xiaolin's condition doesn't improve, the wedding can't go on. A wedding from such a prominent family can't be low-key. Xiaolin only has a few months left, and the Huang family will definitely demand that the engagement be called off. That way, when Xiaolin's condition is almost cured, let her find an excuse to come out and see the beautiful scenery one last time, and you can run away together. Of course, I will help Xiaolin get better before she leaves. I plan to arrange for you to go abroad. With your status as an overseas Chinese, you can better help me."
“Okay! I’ll listen to you.” Long Yihun made a decisive decision. He was now at his wit’s end. He had even considered going to his grandfather’s house to acknowledge his ancestors, despite his father’s wishes, but that hadn’t solved Xiaolin’s problem. He was certain that his brother Lin Yao would not harm him. This good news immediately filled him with fighting spirit.
"Go ahead and make the call. She can contact me later. You can focus on your business in Yunnan. You'll be able to meet again in a while. Remember to take good care of yourself." Lin Yao hugged Long Yihun and walked towards Zhong Degao.
Four large trucks slowly drove out of Anyun Company in the night. Ye Zhaoxian and his group were very excited. After a brief conversation with Zhong Degao, they said goodbye and left. There are many volunteers coming to Chengdu now. Although there is organization and assistance from the Municipal Youth League Committee, there are still too many things for them to handle. The training and management work is very complicated.
Luo Jimin also took his leave. The 500 jin of raw material Lin Yao had prepared had all been bottled, and Anyun Company's production line was idle again. He needed to hurry back to Xinglin Pharmaceutical Factory to supervise production so that the raw material could be produced and bottled as soon as possible. The production of the raw material required a microbial cultivation process for the medicinal herbs. Luo Jimin and Wen Youmin had already minimized the time required by controlling the optimal temperature. They estimated that the first batch of raw material could be produced by evening, and subsequent production could continue uninterrupted, ensuring that Anyun Company's purified water production line would not be idle.
Suddenly, Lin Yao found himself with the most free time. After thinking for a moment, he decided to go to Xinglin Pharmaceutical Factory and have Xiao Cao help absorb the toxins from those poisonous herbs. The secrecy was going well, and there were no thieves or troublemakers, so there was no need to be so cautious with the first batch of raw medicinal liquid. So he went to Xinglin Pharmaceutical Factory with his father.
As he saw them off, Zhong Degao's eyes were a little red. He felt very proud to have participated in such a great undertaking. Pressing his eyes shut, Zhong Degao said to the workers beside him with a grand air, "Come on, clean the machines. Check every part. Anyone who slacks off and affects the operation of the equipment tonight will be skinned alive! There will be extra food at noon today, and everyone will be paid overtime."

After making a trip to Xinglin Pharmaceutical Factory, Lin Yao suddenly felt a bit idle.
The pharmaceutical factory is overseen 24/7 by Wen Youmin and his father, both professionals, so he can't get involved. As for Anyun Water Industry, Zhong Degao is personally in charge, managing the workers he trained. Going there would only cause trouble, and it would be a hassle for Zhong Degao to accompany him. Besides, there's no raw material available for bottling now, so there's no need for him to rush back.
I'm not good at recruiting and managing volunteers, so it's better to leave it to professionals. Besides, Ye Zhaoxian and the others are in high spirits right now, and if I go over there, it might seem like I'm trying to steal the spotlight. Showing too much face in front of the Municipal Youth League Committee isn't appropriate either; it doesn't align with my desire to keep a low profile. Many things were accomplished thanks to Xiaocao's help. If I become famous and people question me, or even kidnap me and demand I reveal the reasons, am I just going to let them dissect me like that?
Sitting on the bus, Lin Yao was at a loss for what to do, so he decided to give himself a day off and take the bus for fun, changing buses and enjoying the scenery.
Chengdu's public transportation fares are very low, thanks to substantial government subsidies. Generally, city buses accept card payments, and these cards, which deduct only one ride every two hours, provide significant benefits to the public.
Lin Yao used this bus card and only spent 50 cents to ride more than a dozen buses. He gained some understanding of Chengdu, at least he saw many buildings that he used to only be able to reach by taxi. Every time, he would exclaim, "So that's where it is!" In fact, he was not familiar with these roads.
As the No. 4 bus passed the famous Chunxi Road pedestrian street intersection in Chengdu, Lin Yao, who was getting tired of taking the bus, boarded the No. 4 bus at a certain stop, intending to take a walk on the pedestrian street by himself.
He heard online that the area was home to most of Chengdu's free-spirited beauties. Of course, this "freedom" meant that they weren't kept by anyone. Moreover, these beauties could stroll around and walk according to their own free time, making the area a rich source of beautiful women with frequent changes. Almost all of them were fresh faces, making it a place that people never tired of looking at.
Some netizens even formed groups specifically to go to Chunxi Road to collectively admire beautiful women. Lin Yao admired their dedication and professionalism and wanted to join such a group, but ultimately gritted his teeth and gave up. The reason for giving up wasn't because he was afraid of his parents' scolding. He figured they also wanted to have grandchildren soon and were still bothered by the fact that Lin Yao had never been in a relationship. Let alone scolding him, he figured his mother would personally take him to Chunxi Road if she knew what he was thinking.
Lin Yao declined to join such a passionate team simply because he didn't want any stain on his reputation. After all, he wanted to climb higher in his career, and if he were exposed by a bunch of clueless netizens, he figured it would be very embarrassing. So he decided to go and observe on his own. Although he lacked experience, as the saying goes, practice makes perfect, and he would gain experience after a few visits.
Just as Lin Yao was fantasizing about how he would meet a pretty girl on Chunxi Road, a pleasant fragrance woke him up.
"It's body odor!" Lin Yao made the judgment in an instant. Since the herb improved his body, his sense of smell had become more acute. After trying thousands of Chinese and Western medicines, Lin Yao had become extremely sensitive to the smell of synthetic substances. At this moment, he judged that the fragrance he smelled was definitely pure, green, and environmentally friendly, and was all-natural.
Lin Yao turned his nose to the right as he searched for the source of the fragrance, his eyes widened in amazement, his mouth was half-open, and he looked like a dazed person.
Beautiful! Absolutely stunning! This was the only thought in Lin Yao's mind.
A girl with long, flowing hair, wearing a pink thin sweater and a beige thin woolen trench coat, stood next to Lin Yao. The pleasant fragrance emanating from her reminded Lin Yao of the rice cakes his parents made at home during the Lunar New Year. Those rice cakes, with many medicinal herbs added, were fragrant and pleasant, carrying a feeling of happiness and contentment.
At this moment, Lin Yao felt happy looking at this girl, and he carried out his work seriously and attentively. Her slender waist could not be hidden even by the trench coat. Although the girl wrapped the trench coat tightly around her body and held the button of the trench coat with her right hand, the trench coat, which was obviously cinched at the waist, still made it seem that there was plenty of space inside. Lin Yao immediately sketched out an image of a graceful snake waist in his mind.
Looking down, the matte black boots accentuated the straight and graceful shape of her encased calves, exuding dynamism. After admiring the area that didn't require much effort to look up, Lin Yao began to search upwards. The breastfeeding area under the pink sweater wasn't overly exaggerated, but the perfectly proportioned curve made Lin Yao's eyes almost pop out. His gaze lingered for a long time before finally moving upwards.
