I Don't Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System Chapter 591 : The Honest Little Girl

On stage, Mayor Guan Yi observed Su Qi's surprised expression, her eyes widening at his response. He found this little girl quite amusing.

In truth, Mayor Guan Yi had considered stepping in to answer the question for Su Qi. However, since the Xiaoxiao Qi Jin Research Institute held the expertise on the antibody vaccine, it was most appropriate for Director Su to set the price.

As a mayor, Guan Yi was well aware of the weight his words carried. If he intervened to help Su Qi at this point, when the issue of pricing had already been raised, the reporters would likely perceive it as an abuse of his authority, regardless of how he handled it.

So, the mayor reluctantly passed the ball back to Su Qi.

Why was Mayor Guan Yi comfortable entrusting the pricing decision to Su Qi during this ribbon-cutting ceremony surrounded by reporters?

It was because Su Qi's previous actions, whether her donations or the military order, had silently conveyed an important fact: this little girl was not greedy.

Therefore, Mayor Guan Yi, who held Su Qi in high regard, decided to give her this decision-making opportunity.

Moreover, even if Su Qi were to state an unreasonable price during today's ribbon-cutting event, it wouldn't be a major issue.

After all, this was just the ribbon-cutting ceremony. The actual price negotiations would be handled later through professional competitive bidding etings.

Su Qi was unaware of the crafty mayor's thoughts at this mont.

On stage, it took her a second to realize that Mayor Guan Yi had tossed the ball back to her.

Feeling the intense gazes of the reporters and the mayor's kind look beside her, Su Qi felt overwheld. Even with her limited experience, she understood the enormous power of this pricing decision.

She now regretted not paying more attention when her wife Zijin had discussed pricing with her just before coming on stage. At the ti, Su Qi had assud such matters would be decided by higher-ups, not a re institute director like herself.

Who would have thought that in less than an hour, the decision would indeed fall into her hands? Su Qi couldn't help but think of the saying: "Life is unpredictable, like a small intestine wrapped around a large one."

As Su Qi was pondering how to set the price, she felt a gentle poke on her lower back.

Feeling the touch, Su Qi's eyes lit up.

She knew her wife Zijin was standing right behind her.

Thinking of wife Zijin's impressive business acun, Su Qi quickly turned her head.

However, she discovered it wasn't Zijin who had poked her, but her little wife.

Xiao Xiaoxiao, seeing Su Qi turn around, happily widened her bright eyes.

Just as Su Qi was wondering why the little girl had poked her, she heard a childlike voice near her ear.

"Sister Su, can we set the price of the antibody vaccine a bit cheaper?"

Hearing her junior schoolmate speak, Su Qi was slightly taken aback.

She found it surprising, because when they first ca on stage for the ribbon-cutting, her little wife had been trembling with nervousness. Now she had mustered the courage to offer an opinion.

Astonished, Su Qi instinctively examined her little wife who had just spoken.

She noticed that while the little girl's face was still as soft and cute as ever, her bright eyes now held a serious expression.

Seeing this serious look on her little wife's face, Su Qi quickly rembered why she would make such a suggestion.

It dated back to when the little girl first interned at Wang Yifu Hospital.

The dical profession, unlike others, deals with a wide variety of people across all social strata. After all, whether millionaires or beggars, all people are susceptible to health issues.

And that's when they need dical help.

When Xiao Xiaoxiao was transferred to Wang Yifu Hospital as an intern, her exceptional skills allowed her to see many patients under the supervision of attending physicians.

During her rounds, Xiao Xiaoxiao noticed that so wealthy patients were more concerned about ti and their careers than their health.

However, most patients had more ordinary concerns—they worried more about dical costs.

When Xiao Xiaoxiao first started her internship, being relatively young, she was emotionally more vulnerable than typical doctors.

One night, after seeing a patient give up treatnt due to high dical costs, Xiao Xiaoxiao couldn't sleep and cried for a long while.

Su Qi rembered comforting the little girl until late that night before she finally fell asleep.

After lulling her to sleep, Su Qi still recalled the little girl sleep-talking, vowing that in the future, she would develop an affordable dicine that people could afford.

And now, her little wife had indeed created a dicine (the antibody vaccine)!

Su Qi looked at her little wife's serious expression.

Although she still bore the invisible task of earning ten billion to redeem her system, Su Qi thought of the impoverished families her little wife had described.

After so consideration, she decided to follow her little wife's suggestion and set a lower price. After all, while so money could be made, if given a choice, it was better not to profit from this.

Moreover, this was a request from her adorable little wife who had developed the antibody vaccine.

Seeing her little wife's hopeful gaze, Su Qi nodded to reassure her.

Then she turned back to the reporters and said, "The price of the antibody vaccine will definitely be very affordable, you can rest assured of that. However, it can't be free, as there are production costs involved in making the antibody vaccine."

The Lotus News reporter who had asked the question earlier quickly raised her hand again to follow up:

"Director Su, could you tell us the specific price?"

Su Qi felt sowhat odd being addressed as "Director Su," but rembering her current position, she suppressed the urge to comnt and quickly replied:

"It will be the basic cost of producing the antibody vaccine."

After Su Qi's response, a wave of surprised murmurs and cara clicks swept through the crowd of reporters.

In fact, Su Qi's statent was already quite clear.

However, the Lotus News reporter, seemingly sensing that Su Qi wasn't adept at refusing, raised her hand once more amidst the crowd's amazent and asked:

"Is there a specific price range for reference, Director Su?"

Hearing this reporter speak up again, Mayor Guan Yi narrowed his eyes.

Su Qi's previous answer had been sufficiently clear and satisfactory.

This reporter pushing for a specific price was now overstepping.

Just as Mayor Guan Yi was about to intervene and defuse the situation, he saw the petite doctor take Su Qi's microphone. A soft, childlike voice then filled the air.

"I can answer this. The costs are approximately 0.86 yuan for the needle, 0.1 yuan for the cotton swab, 0.19 yuan for the iodine..."

Hearing "Dr. Xiao"’s clear voice, the reporters and Mayor Guan Yi were montarily stunned. What was this little girl trying to say?

As they pondered, Xiao Xiaoxiao continued: "These are the external costs. As for the antibody vaccine itself, it requires 0.01ml of Ternovo fluoride at 0.14 yuan, 0.1ml of Yanteganir at 0.18 yuan, Fuermu-mmph!"

Xiao Xiaoxiao was about to continue when Wang Zijin and Su Qi simultaneously covered her mouth.

After all, the components of the antibody vaccine were not sothing to be disclosed!

Hearing muffled sounds from the microphone, the reporters belatedly realized what had just happened.

So, this little girl had been listing the components of the antibody vaccine?

Upon this realization, everyone drew in a sharp breath.

How could this little girl be so forthright?

If she had finished speaking, the consequences would have been unthinkable!
