Chapter 85: 085 Only orange represents my heart

Ke Minghong, feeling helpless, sent a message to Hua Mi,

[Ke Minghong: Xiao Hua, the money for the dehumidifiers is gone, but we still need to buy the equipment. I have a savings of one million, do you think that’s enough?]

Hua Mi received this message out of the blue and could feel Ke Minghong’s despair and breakdown through the screen.

[Hua Mi: What do you think? One dehumidifier costs 10,000, and to cover such a large emergency department, we need far more than a hundred dehumidifiers. I have to lay them both on top and below, do you think a million is enough?]

[Ke Minghong: What should we do then? The higher-ups won’t approve the funds, and Qin Ziran has disappeared. Last time, he left without approving the several hundred thousand for the medical supplies owed to the Garrison.]

Otherwise, Ke Minghong wouldn’t have personally gone to the management headquarters to ask for money today.

Qin Ziran did things without any regard for consequences; he left at a moment’s notice without any explanation.

It was entirely irresponsible.

If it weren’t for Ke Minghong needing money to buy dehumidifiers, he wouldn’t have known that Qin Ziran had never reported the several hundred thousand owed to the Garrison.

Of course, even Ke Minghong personally went to the management headquarters and clarified what the several hundred thousand was spent on, the headquarters still didn’t approve it.

The reason?

The reason was that Gong Yi had embezzled 10 billion yuan, Gong Yi had money.

[Ke Minghong: I know that whatever I say now is useless. In a situation where I can’t get help from anywhere, the only one I can turn to is you, Xiao Hua. The emergency department is full of injured patients, and the current moisture is fatal to them. What else do you want to exchange for it? Just say it directly, whatever I can do, I’ll cooperate.]

Hua Mi looked at the text messages on her phone, walking in the rain, and thought for a moment,

[Hua Mi: I need a tight-lipped personal doctor, one who must be exceptionally skilled, especially rich in experience in obstetrics and gynecology.]

[Hua Mi: After the dehumidifier equipment is installed, the emergency department will be very dry, and I have a batch of orange juice here, so I would like to get several vending machines into the emergency department.]

[Hua Mi: I don’t have a source for vending machines, you’ll have to find that for me, and I will not pay in cash. I can pay you with oranges.]

Ke Minghong agreed to all the conditions Hua Mi set.

Because only Ke Minghong knew that although Xiang City was orderly, it could only guarantee the most basic personal safety.

In reality, everything was in chaos.

In the emergency department, several people were brought in each day because of respiratory distress, which Ke Minghong believed was caused by the high moisture content in the air.

He submitted report after report, but nobody paid attention.

It wasn’t that those administrators deliberately ignored such serious matters; rather, they had too many things to consider, things that were too comprehensive.

Now, they still had to maintain the glorious image of Xiang City, comprehensively taking in all the severely injured from all the cities. Who would pay attention to Ke Minghong’s reports?

After finalizing the deal with Hua Mi, Ke Minghong used all his connections and personally picked out dozens of vending machines for Hua Mi.

He checked the one or two bars of signal on his phone and said to the approaching Hua Mi,

"Are you sure this thing will keep working? You know the situation in Xiang City; the signal could go out at any time."

The vending machines were connected to a local network. People scanned a QR code to pay, and the money would be automatically transferred into Hua Mi’s account.

Without a signal, people wouldn’t be able to scan the code, and Hua Mi wouldn’t receive the money.

Just before, Hua Mi had stopped by the Garrison’s supply department, acquired several dozen tons of vegetables, and sneaked several dozen tons of oranges into the tent where the vegetables were stored.

After receiving a call from Ke Minghong, she immediately walked over. Because of the exercise, and wearing a raincoat made of Waterproof Oilcloth, she was dry and warm all over.

Every inch of moisture seemed to be sucked dry by the waterproof oilcloth she wore.

Hua Mi arrived and saw the automatic vending machines being towed on the big truck, and while chugging water, she burst into laughter,

"Not bad, Elder Ke, you’re not curing the sick and saving lives, but instead joining me in scavenging for supplies. You really do have the ability to support yourself."

All these automatic vending machines, and they were the most advanced ones, brand spanking new. Who knows where Ke Minghong got them from.

The old man had decent working efficiency and was bold enough to risk his face.

Ke Minghong glared at Hua Mi, his face covered with a mask, wearing a raincoat,

"Answer the question! Don’t give me all this chuckling and giggling, if you can’t solve the signal issue, having these machines is useless."

"No problem."

Hua Mi smiled and patted each of the dozens of automatic vending machines, affixing a Universal Signal Connector to each one as she did,

"You just worry about finding the stuff, leave the rest to me.

She turned around, her fox-like eyes brimming with smiles,

"Elder Ke, place ten of these machines in the emergency area, I’ll take care of the rest."

Having said that, Hua Mi called Cao Feng to ask him to find some people to spread the remaining automatic vending machines around the rescue center.

She also told Cao Feng to send Da Fu and Xiao Fu over with a trailer to bring over the orange juice, newborn bodysuits, Self-heating Mini Hot Pot (Dark Mustard Flavor), Folic Acid, mineral water, Xiao Chaihu Granules, Heart-cleansing Tea, Condoms, Breathing machines, mineral water... from the storage inside the garrison walls.

She intended to ensure all the automatic vending machines were fully stocked.

Cao Feng readily agreed, swearing a military oath to Hua Mi,

"Sister Hua, I guarantee I’ll handle this. If anything goes wrong, you can shoot me."

The blunt honesty of the young man made Hua Mi burst into laughter, she leisurely said:

"I’m confident in you handling things at the rescue center, no need for executions if there’s a mistake. If there is one, just have ten meals a day of mustard-flavored Mini Hot Pot, with orange desserts and orange juice..."

He’d rather be shot!

Cao Feng shivered, feeling like his gums were already aching.

While Hua Mi cheerfully ended the call with Cao Feng, she turned back, looking at a female doctor following behind Ke Minghong.

"This is Dr. Xin Qiuru, she has extensive experience in maternal and child health care, and has dealt with various complications in childbirth too."

Ke Minghong introduced her with a face full of pride,

"Now, all of Xiang City’s medical staff have been concentrated in the emergency area, everyone is extremely busy. I went to great lengths to persuade Dr. Xin to come."

The old man’s face was filled with an expression that seemed to beg for praise, "Compliment me, go on."

He assured Hua Mi in a low voice,

"Rest assured, Dr. Xin is very tight-lipped."

"Alright, I owe you a big one, and I’m grateful beyond words."

Hua Mi slapped the old man’s shoulder in a brotherly manner and to express her gratitude, she slipped him a bag of Oranges,

"Only Oranges can represent my heart."
