“You…” The commander stared at Lin Yao, unsure how to persuade this passionate and stubborn young man. He saw in Lin Yao pure ideals and enthusiasm for struggle, but also the naive and impulsive nature of youth. He really didn’t know how to convince Lin Yao in his personal capacity.
Since Hao Lunli has failed, and using his official position to persuade Lin Yao is no longer effective, and using his personal position is also ineffective, it seems that he has no choice but to give up.
“You’ll be in a very passive position.” The commander’s tone carried a sigh. “I won’t try to persuade you anymore. I just hope you can achieve that ideal. As my personal closing statement, I hope it succeeds. If you need any help in the future, contact Hao Lunli.”
"Thank you, Commander!" Lin Yao sat up straight. "Don't worry, we can handle most things. We'll only trouble you if things go wrong like Tong Potian."
Lin Yao meant that he would never completely follow the rules, because he had neither the mind nor the energy to argue with difficult people. If it escalated to the point of involving the leader, it would definitely be a major incident.
"Keep in touch with Hao Lunli more often. It will benefit you and put my mind at ease." The leader clearly understood the implication and, still concerned, reiterated to Lin Yao that matters should be kept under the control of the state, especially since Minhong Pharmaceutical already had an extremely high reputation and standing nationwide, so they needed to be even more cautious in their actions.
Before taking his leave, Lin Yao gave the leader a bottle of pills containing two super "Life-Giving Pills," saying they were for the leader and his wife. He emphasized that these pills were extremely rare, so rare that the leader should not ask for them lightly.
Lin Yao's demands and conditions left the leader speechless. Could he really bargain with a private pharmaceutical company and even demand benefits?
As for Lin Yao's gifts, the relevant personnel in the General Office will handle them naturally; he doesn't need to worry about them.

Lin Yao benefited greatly from his meeting with the number three leader. He witnessed great wisdom and magnanimity, and his broad-mindedness in embracing the world and taking the happiness of the people as his own responsibility. Lin Yao admired him greatly and at the same time strengthened his own goals.
Because of their social status, Lin Yao and Min Hong acted in their own way, hoping to make a positive contribution to the future of their nation.
The meeting and conversation between the two parties was not long. Although the atmosphere was very harmonious and they talked about some casual little things, everyone got the information they needed.
The third-ranking leader strongly supported Lin Yao and Min Hong's actions, agreed with their ideas, and praised their positive attitude in striving for them. Of course, all of this was expressed in a very subtle way. After all, as a leader, it was impossible for him to openly support Min Hong's cause, let alone publicly acknowledge and praise something that transcended tradition and changed the social role and nature of medical enterprises.
The words and actions of leaders represent the views and attitudes of the country and the government, so they are all very careful in their words and deeds.
The third-ranking official is a man of strong likes and dislikes, which explains his past actions of angrily rebuking derelict officials, ordering rectification, and conducting in-depth discussions with families at the grassroots level to understand the situation. He even went so far as to refuse tea offered to him by farmers in drought-stricken areas of western China. His words, "It's not easy to bring this water here; we can't drink your water," demonstrate how this most beloved leader of the people considers the needs of the people in every detail; this habit and style are ingrained in his very being.
The leader observed Minhong's actions with delight. The fact that a national enterprise could be so patriotic and devoted to its people, shouldering responsibilities that weren't originally theirs, represented progress and a testament to the passing down of the fine traditions of the Chinese nation. Naturally, he was even more impressed with Minhong's efforts to improve the moral character of society as a whole.
Regarding Lin Yao's focus on treating foreign patients and charging exorbitant fees, the leader merely jokingly mentioned that it was indeed profitable, offering no further comment. Deep down, he approved of this practice, seeing it as a unique way to attract foreign investment for national development. Although it might seem unfair to the health of domestic compatriots, there is no absolute fairness in this world, and the leader, standing at such a high level, understood this principle even more clearly.
Lin Yao wasn't stupid; he simply lacked social experience. Therefore, he understood the attitude and viewpoint in the leader's words, and was overjoyed. His family was independently operating such a large and arduous business, and to receive the leader's approval was truly gratifying. Moreover, the leader had subtly indicated that he could contact Hao Lunli if needed, and that he would offer support in crucial moments.
Before entering Zhongnanhai, Lin Yao had made thorough mental preparations, anticipating rejection and difficulties. Even before entering the reception room, Lin Yao harbored a sense of rebellion and resistance, but all of that vanished the moment he saw the number three leader.
This, perhaps, is the charm of a person's personality.
Lin Yao didn't take the hidden concerns in the leader's words to heart. He simply decided to compromise a little in some areas, such as intervening in the treatment of high-level leaders, and not to involve too much political factors in evaluating someone's life and Lin Yao's qualifications to intervene. All of this was something he didn't understand. Politics is not as simple as it appears on the surface, and it cannot be arbitrarily defined or evaluated.
Of course, Lin Yao also expressed some of his attitudes. For example, he does not refer to the government's opinions when treating patients abroad, and he makes the decision on whether to treat them himself. He also does not want others to interfere in the decision-making process of patients in China, except for those in certain positions.
The leader had no doubt about Lin Yao's medical skills. Traditional Chinese medicine is profound and extensive; although many theories and procedures cannot be explained by modern medicine, facts speak louder than words. Some of the cases Lin Yao treated have been studied and analyzed by experts and scholars. The conclusion is incredible; describing it as "Hua Tuo reborn, Bian Que reincarnated" is no exaggeration.
Therefore, the leader kindly asked Lin Yao to take his pulse.
The leader's physical functions are all in good health, except that the heavy workload has caused him to be somewhat overworked. This is why Lin Yao decisively sent him two super "life-saving pills". For such a leader who loves the people like his own children, Lin Yao is willing to take the initiative to maintain his health.
Lin Yao was unaware of the fate of the super "Life-Giving Pill". The two pills were first handed over by the leader to the relevant department of the General Office, and then passed to experts and scholars. When the research failed, the medicinal properties of one pill were wasted. Due to frequent exposure to air for testing and experiments, the fate of this pill could only be to slightly help some experimental animals and a certain volunteer.
Based on the experts' unanimous conclusion that the remaining pill "has great benefits to the human body, comprehensively enhances the activity of cells and tissues and maintains health," it was returned to the No. 3 leader and taken by him, which finally had a positive effect on his health.
Lin Yao actually intended to give the two pills to the leader and his wife. According to folk custom, gifts are given in pairs, one for each person. However, he did not expect that this wish would be affected by rules and regulations, and the result was not as he wished.
(PS: It's not easy to write. Although this book claims to be set in a parallel universe, it's too closely connected to reality. I'm afraid of censorship, so I'll just leave it at that.)
Yi Fei is currently serving as the commander of the infantry division of the 38th Group Army of the Beijing Military Region. His rank has also been promoted to major general. This is because of his relationship with the number three leader, and also because of Lin Yao's relationship with the Yi family in Yanji. This is why he specially asked for leave to go to Chengdu to pick up Lin Yao and bring him to Beijing to meet the leader.
After leaving Zhongnanhai, Lin Yao did not disturb General Yi Fei again. He went directly back to Chengdu with Elder Yi Potian and Yi Gong because there were many things to do there, and also because he wanted to spend more time with his grandparents.
Since recovering his health, Lin Yao has been preoccupied with various matters and hasn't been able to fulfill his filial duties by properly meeting with the elderly who care about him most. Now that he has the opportunity, he should naturally enjoy more of the family time. People work hard every day, isn't it all for the sake of greater happiness? Now that happiness is around him, there's no reason not to cherish and enjoy it.
"Little Lin, I didn't expect you to be so capable in such a short time."
Lin Su, Lin Yao's cousin, is very cheerful and outgoing, unlike Lin Yao's uncle who is calm and collected, or his aunt who is gentle and introverted. She has always disciplined Lin Yao from a young age, and her way of addressing him is exactly the same as Long Yihun's—always using the formal "little prince" term. However, Lin Su has never neglected to take care of Lin Yao, always making him happy and showing him great affection.
When they were little, Lin Yao was always following his older cousin Lin Su around. Lin Su would take her fragile younger cousin with her wherever she went, and of course, the places they went to were safe, such as classmates' houses, libraries, and parks.
"Auntie said you have a lot of money now, so give some to your sister to spend." Lin Su acted like a big sister, left hand on her hip, legs spread apart in a T-shape, looking nothing like a lady. She was practically a female tyrant, making the author's grandfather laugh and remark that his granddaughter's image was ever-changing.
"Okay, how much do you want, sis?" Lin Yao had just returned from Beijing and was immediately extorted by his cousin as soon as he entered his father Luo Jimin's office. He wasn't surprised and simply went along with her words.
"Yao'er, come here and let Grandma see you. Don't mind your sister, she's just a crazy girl," Grandma said, coming to Lin Yao's rescue. She had only spoken a few words to her beloved grandson in the few days she had been in Chengdu, and she felt that wasn't enough. Hearing that Lin Yao was coming back today, she simply went to the Minhong Pharmaceutical Factory to wait for him, knowing that her children were all very busy and wouldn't have time to come to their homes to keep her company.
"Grandma, I brought you some Poria cocos cakes from Beijing, and some cloth shoes. I remember Grandma's feet are size 34, right?" Lin Yao smiled as he carried the package to the sofa where his grandmother was, turning his back on Lin Su, who could only clench her fists in anger.
"Yao'er is such a good boy." Grandma smiled broadly. She had always called Lin Yao by this affectionate nickname for many years. This was because Lin Yao had been sickly for a long time, and the old woman felt heartbroken every time she saw him.
"Grandma is old and can't bite into the Poria cocos cake anymore, but since Yao'er bought it for Grandma, you must eat it while holding it in your mouth." Grandma pulled Lin Yao's arm and made him sit next to her. She turned her head and looked at Lin Yao carefully, her face full of wrinkles forming a joyful smile.
