Xiao Chengnan nodded in agreement. "I think so too. That’s why I moved out of my house and into the employee dorms. Hmph, whenever they try to set me up on a blind date, I just apply to go out on a transport run..."
A moment later, Station Chief Xiao hung up the phone. He took out a piece of paper with his notes and handed it over. "Here. These are the addresses from previous years that received shipments of more than half a railcar of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water. It’s just the station names and the sender and receiver info, nothing else. I don’t know how much help it’ll be."
"If it is helpful, then I’ll shamelessly ask for a detailed list for you."
Chi Yun’er nodded and thanked him repeatedly, taking the paper to look it over.
The plant used to make Huoxiang Zhengqi Water has specific requirements for its growing environment. It thrives in high temperatures and ample sunlight—in regions with an average annual temperature of 19–26°C—and has particular rainfall needs.
Currently, there hadn’t been any research into cultivating the plant across different regions. Instead, production was simply scaled up in its natural habitat.
This meant that the manufacturers of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water were also regionally limited.
Kyoto General Hospital was a key institution supported by the government, enjoying priority supply for many medicines. However, many places in the hot and humid south, where demand was high, had to wait in line.
The names of the organizations on the list were all well-known, sizable, and offered generous benefits. An idea in Chi Yun’er’s mind grew clearer and clearer.
She smiled, pressing her lips together, and thanked him once more, but she didn’t ask for the detailed shipping list. She believed these organizations would have their own supply channels.
However, Chi Yun’er did ask a few things about cargo transport before saying her goodbyes and leaving.
This time, she went to a newspaper office, again looking for an acquaintance: her own cousin-in-law!
’See? That Fang Yuying really has no judgment at all. Couldn’t she see that I, Chi Yun’er, am a walking network of contacts?’
Her cousin-in-law treated her like a child, taking out snacks to appease her.
Chi Yun’er smiled and asked for some old newspapers from the business section to take home and look through. She jotted down some of the southern organizations that were developing well and were generous to their employees.
After a night of searching and comparing, she had a list of over a dozen organizations!
The next day, she returned to the hospital, asked her aunt for permission to use the phone, and called these organizations one by one from a quiet office to discuss the matter.
