Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

He Yuzhu followed Team Leader Gu closely and came to the door of an office. Team Leader Gu raised his hand and knocked on the door gently. After a while, a voice of "Come in" came from the room. Team Leader Gu then opened the door and walked in.

After entering the room, Team Leader Gu immediately pointed to He Yuzhu standing nearby and introduced him to the person sitting behind the desk: "Director Wu, this gentleman expressed his wish to donate to our team to support our research and development of live polio vaccines."

While listening to Team Leader Gu, Director Wu cast his eyes on He Yuzhu beside him. When he saw He Yuzhu's tall and sturdy figure, he couldn't help but exclaimed. Then, he looked at He Yuzhu with a smile and asked, "Team Leader Gu, what is this gentleman's name?"

When Team Leader Gu heard Director Wu's question, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face. He couldn't help scratching his head, feeling secretly annoyed. Just now, after listening to He Yuzhu's words, he couldn't wait to bring He Yuzhu to see Director Wu, and even forgot to ask He Yuzhu's name. At this time, he could only look at He Yuzhu with apology.

He Yuzhu didn't mind Team Leader Gu's negligence. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a friendly smile, and replied: "Hello, Director Wu, my name is He Yuzhu."

"Hello, Mr. He, please take a seat first! Team Leader Gu, don't stand either, please sit down!" Director Wu greeted them warmly. After the two of them sat down as he was told, he continued, "Team Leader Gu just said that Mr. He plans to donate to the research and development of polio live vaccine. I wonder what kind of work Mr. He does?"

Hearing this question, He Yuzhu replied with a smile: "I work at the Sijiucheng Steel Plant. However, to be precise, the person who donated this time was not me, but my wife." After saying that, he also showed a happy smile.

After listening to He Yuzhu's words, Director Wu couldn't help but become very interested in this mysterious Mr. He. Judging from his calm tone and demeanor when he spoke just now, Director Wu began to secretly speculate on He Yuzhu's true identity in Red Star Steel Plant. So, he tentatively asked, "I wonder what position you hold in Red Star Steel Plant, Mr. He?"

He Yuzhu still had a faint smile on his face, and replied calmly: "I am currently the deputy director of our factory, and my wife's family was in business before the public-private partnership."

Hearing this, Director Wu nodded as if waking up from a dream, a smile appeared on his face, and he said with a cupped hand: "I see, it's Deputy Director He! My apologies!" He really didn't expect that He Yuzhu, at such a young age, was already the deputy director of the Red Star Steel Plant. Speaking of the Red Star Steel Plant, it is a well-known large factory in the city. It is not only the largest steel plant in the city, but its subordinate Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant is also the largest automobile manufacturer in the country.

Although the factory director is only a department-level cadre, all residents of the city know that the Red Star Steel Plant will be promoted to a vice-ministerial unit sooner or later. As the deputy director of the factory, He Yuzhu is even half a level higher than the young man in front of him in terms of administrative level, not to mention that his future is limitless.

He Yuzhu quickly responded, "Director Wu, you are too polite."

"I wonder how much money Deputy Director He's wife plans to donate?" Director Wu said politely.

"My wife plans to spend RMB 10,000 every month to purchase live polio vaccines. She hopes that the government can provide these vaccines to rural children free of charge. But I don't know what the current production situation of live polio vaccines is like?"

"I just heard Team Leader Gu say that you want to donate money to the research and development team of the live polio vaccine?" Director Wu was stunned after hearing what He Yuzhu said, and said with a puzzled look on his face.

"I'm sorry, maybe I didn't express myself clearly and caused misunderstanding." He Yuzhu said apologetically, "I did say that I would support the polio vaccine research and development team led by Team Leader Gu, but this is not the same as providing polio vaccine to rural children for free. In short, my wife will provide two funds, one for the research and development work of Team Leader Gu's team, and the other for providing polio vaccine to children in rural areas." He paused and continued, "Therefore, I need to know the progress of the research and development of polio vaccine."

Director Wu and Team Leader Gu suddenly understood and expressed their understanding. At this time, the leader beside them said, "So that's how it is! Team Leader Gu, please give Deputy Director He a detailed introduction to the current development status of the live polio vaccine!"

Team leader Gu cleared his throat and said, "Last year, we promoted 11 million doses of live polio vaccine in 500 cities across the country, curbing the spread of polio. The peak of the epidemic in the cities where the vaccine was given was reduced. However, the live attenuated vaccine we produce currently needs to be stored at low temperatures during transportation to ensure the activity of the vaccine, which is not conducive to large-scale promotion. Therefore, Deputy Director He's desire to provide it free of charge to children in rural areas is not possible for the time being. And because the vaccine is liquid, children will be reluctant to take it, which is also a problem for the promotion of live polio vaccine."

After listening to what Team Leader Gu said, He Yuzhu was stunned and secretly surprised. He clearly remembered that in his previous life, the attenuated live polio vaccine he received as a child was in the form of sugar pills. How come it is still liquid in this era? But soon, he suddenly realized that the attenuated live polio vaccine in the form of sugar pills has not yet been developed. Thinking of this, he said without hesitation: "Team Leader Gu, if the children are unwilling to take the liquid attenuated live polio vaccine, can we consider making it into a solid form? And then add some sugar to it. In this way, when the children take the vaccine, it feels like eating candy, and I believe they will no longer have any resistance."

After listening to He Yuzhu's words, Team Leader Gu suddenly realized something. That's right! Why not try to make the vaccine into solid sugar pills? Instantly, he tightly held He Yuzhu's hand, his voice trembling with excitement: "Deputy Director He, thank you so much! What you just said is of great help to the promotion of attenuated polio vaccine!"

"Team Leader Gu, you are too polite. I just mentioned it casually. I feel that even if I didn't say it, you would have thought of this method sooner or later!" He Yuzhu said modestly.

"Deputy Director He, although we may have thought of it, now that you have told us, we can avoid many detours and start planning the development of solid sugar pill polio vaccine in advance."
