Chapter 291 - 291 Meeting
291 Meeting
Wu You, a doctor at the Divine Dragon Hall, had completed the tests and tried a Great Buckthorn fruit.
Accompanied by Wu You, Dai Liming carried the remaining eight Great Buckthorn fruits and walked towards the Divine Dragon Hall.
“Really, it’s too amazing! I really didn’t expect there to be such a divine thing in this world.” Wu You’s eyes were fixed on the bag in Dai Liming’s hand, his eyes filled with desire.
Wu You was already 65 years old. Although he had taken good care of himself, he couldn’t fight time. His hair had already completely turned white.
He had issues with his cervical vertebrae and lumbar vertebrae, such as cervical spondylosis and lumbar disc herniation.
Also, he tended to get tired.
Under normal circumstances, as long as he didn’t take an afternoon nap, he would be drowsy in the afternoon. His vision would be blurry and he wouldn’t be able to see clearly.
He would also have dizzy spells and he wouldn’t be able to work properly.
He happened to have missed his afternoon nap today. He was originally dizzy, but after eating a Great Buckthorn fruit from Dai Liming, the fatigue in his body disappeared. He felt fresh and energized, like he had just woken up.
The symptoms of the lumbar vertebrae and cervical vertebrae disappeared in an instant, and he didn’t feel any discomfort at all.
His vision issues were also instantly resolved.
He didn’t feel dizzy anymore.
After eating the fruit, he felt as if he had become 30 years younger, like he was back in his 20s or 30s.
In addition to the effects that could be said, there were also some effects that could not be told to outsiders. He originally had an issue with frequent urination. After eating a Great Buckthorn fruit, he just had to go to the toilet once, and that’s it!
After personally experiencing the effects of the Great Buckthorn fruit, Wu You was stunned.
In order to confirm that the Great Buckthorn fruit didn’t contain any harmful ingredients, Wu You carried out an extremely detailed examination of it.
After testing, it was discovered.
The nutritional content of the Great Buckthorn fruit was extremely good.
It did not contain any prohibited substances.
No harmful substances were detected.
“Director Dai, where exactly did you find this fruit?” Wu You couldn’t help but ask again, his eyes filled with desire.
“Alright, are you selling this fruit? What’s the price?”
Dai Liming smiled and held the Great Buckthorn fruit tightly in his hands as if it was a supreme treasure. “Doctor Wu, we should make a move soon.”
“The leaders are overworked every day. These Great Buckthorn fruits are most suitable for them.”
When he heard this, a trace of envy and jealousy flashed in Wu You’s eyes.
After Dai Liming offered the Great Buckthorn fruit with such a good effect to the leaders, he would definitely be remembered by and valued by them.
The two of them had just reached the entrance of the Divine Dragon Hall when a beaming Qian Fumin walked out.
When he saw Dai Liming, a trace of disdain flashed across his eyes.
Although Dai Liming’s rank was the same as his, their departments were different, so their authorities were naturally different.
The department he was in was a department with real power, and it was also a department that dealt with money. As long as there was no major infectious disease, Dai Liming’s department was basically a retirement department. It basically did not have much real power, so all along, Qian Fumin didn’t think much of Dai Liming.
During the previous exchange, Dai Liming had a different opinion on whether to open up the country.
He was already dissatisfied with Dai Liming because of this.
In addition, he had just reported his thoughts to the leaders. The leaders had already agreed preliminarily with his idea of opening the country’s entrances and ports.
Therefore, at this moment, Qian Fumin was beaming and he looked smug.
When he saw Dai Liming and Wu You walking over, Qian Fumin’s eyes darted around and he deliberately walked in front of Dai Liming.
“Director Dai, the leaders asked about you in the meeting just now. They kept asking why you weren’t here yet.”
“They also said that they wanted to ask for your opinion before deciding whether to open the country’s doors.”
“But you weren’t there, so your deputy expressed his opinion instead.”
“Your deputy also agrees with my idea that it’s enough to cut off all contact with Sunset, but you can’t seal off economic exchanges with other countries.”
“The leaders also support my idea. They have already made a preliminary decision to open the country.”
After saying that, Qian Fumin walked out with his hands behind his back and a smug smile on his face.
“This person is too smug. He’ll be in trouble.” Wu You had been the Divine Dragon Hall’s health doctor for 20 years and had seen many smug, young elites. They usually don’t do well in the end.
“Let’s go and do our thing.” The smile on Dai Liming’s face didn’t change at all. He didn’t express any opinions about Qian Fumin’s arrogance.
…
The leaders didn’t leave the venue as there were other meetings scheduled.
During the short rest intervals, the few of them looked tired and leaned in their chairs to rest.
Li Jiong, the leader for logistics, and Wang Kui, the leader of the military, were chatting.
Wang Kui sighed with a tired expression. “I can’t take it anymore, I can’t take it anymore! When I was young, I could march for a day and night without feeling tired.”
“It’s just a meeting right now and I’m already feeling very tired.”
“I’m old. I really can’t do it anymore.”
“It’s time for us old folks to retire.”
“Go back to our hometown and spend time with our children and grandchildren. Do some gardening and raise two pigs. Do what an old man should do.”
Li Jiong rubbed his temples. His eyes were filled with yearning for retirement. “Old Wang, you want to retire? Dream on.”
“I want to retire too.”
“There isn’t an elder here who doesn’t want to retire.”
“But can I retire now?”
“We’ve worked hard for so many years. Now, we’ve reached the critical stage of surpassing Sunset. Can you be so assured to hand over the work in your hands to others?”
“The world situation is getting more and more tense. Can you rest assured?”
“Furthermore, there was a terrifying asphyxiation virus breakout in Sunset.”
“This is the calm before the storm.”
When the others heard Wang Kui’s words, they smiled and shook their heads.
Everyone present wanted to retire and return to their hometown to enjoy a normal life.
There would be no problem doing this if the world was peaceful.
But now, the world isn’t peaceful at all. If they were not careful, a war could break out!
“Everyone has worked hard during this period of time… How about this? After the problem of the asphyxiation virus is resolved, everyone will take a week off.” Elder Lin Tian said with a gentle smile.
Elder Lin Tian’s face was filled with unconcealable fatigue. His eyes were bloodshot.
“There are still five minutes before the meeting begins. Everyone, get up and have a chat.” Elder Lin Tian looked at his watch.
At this moment, Dai Liming and Wu You entered the meeting room under the lead of the guards.
“Xiaodai, what happened to you earlier? Why didn’t you come to the meeting?” The leader in charge of Health, Zai Sijie, asked with a frown.
In an instant, the originally gentle atmosphere became oppressive.
All eyes were on Dai Liming. This aura of absolute superiority gave off an extremely powerful pressure.
Dai Liming hurriedly explained, “Leader Tian, Leader Si, everyone, this is my fault. I apologize!”
“This is what happened. I discovered a very special fruit today. After eating it, you can quickly recover from your fatigue.”
“After I tried one, the effect was very shocking. It instantly boosted my stamina…”
Dai Liming opened the sealed bag as he spoke.
Instantly, a hot and spicy aroma filled the meeting room.
Just smelling this aroma made one’s spirit soar.
