She was carrying a backpack on her back, and when she was about to enter, Xiao Li gestured for her to remove the backpack for inspection.
Once the backpack was opened, it was full of food.
There were several bottles of water, a few boxes of snacks, a small can of tea leaves, and a tiny box of Ginseng Slices.
"Miss Jiang, these..." Xiao Li hadn’t expected she would bring all this food over.
"Do you need to inspect it?"
Jiang Xiao said, "Can we make it quick? The Chief Alliance Officer only gave five minutes."
Li Hanzhong’s voice ca from inside, "Xiao Li, let her through."
"Yes."
Jiang Xiao imdiately gathered her things and walked inside.
Entering the room, she only saw the office desk buried in piles of docunts and books, with Li Hanzhong hunched over writing sothing, almost obscured by the stack.
Upon hearing her footsteps, Li Hanzhong raised his head and said, "Little, have a seat for two minutes."
"Okay."
Jiang Xiao was a little surprised to see Li Hanzhong because his face and eyes were sowhat puffy, with bloodshot eyes, making it unclear how long he had been up.
Moreover, there was an IV stand beside him with an IV drip bottle hanging, and a needle was inserted in the back of his hand for infusion.
Jiang Xiao sat down on a nearby sofa and placed the things she carried onto the coffee table.
The pen in Li Hanzhong’s hand was swiftly scribbling away.
Seeing his furrowed brows, Jiang Xiao guessed he might be writing so frustrating responses.
After he set down the pen, he gestured for her to co over.
"Little, co here."
Jiang Xiao imdiately gathered the items once more, walked over, placed them on the table in front of him, and then opened the small box, handing it to Li Hanzhong.
"Uncle, take a Ginseng Slice first, and then we’ll talk."
"A Ginseng Slice?"
Li Hanzhong rembered the Ginseng Slices she had given him before, realizing, "The ones you gave before, I forgot to eat."
"Try this one now, it’s better than the previous ones." Jiang Xiao said, gesturing for him to take a Ginseng Slice.
Li Hanzhong smiled slightly, not paying much mind, but still pinched a slice and put it in his mouth.
The unique flavor of ginseng imdiately spread across his taste buds, but it invigorated him significantly, a sensation that was very noticeable.
This feeling genuinely refreshed his mind.
It even seed to quench his thirst and generate saliva.
"This Ginseng Slice is quite good." He said.
Jiang Xiao nodded, "Of course, otherwise I wouldn’t have specially brought it over to you."
She closed the box, placed it aside, and opened a small bottle of water, "This is stead from boiling Lingzhi, ginseng, Dendrobium, and many other herbs."
"It can be brewed this way?"
"Certainly, it’s from Grandpa Chen’s family dical book, extracting the essence of the herbs without being too dicinal, with a bit of rock sugar and pear fructose added for a good taste." Jiang Xiao said, "I wouldn’t sell this at Youqingwei Teahouse, nor can it be found outside. Uncle, have a taste."
From what she said, it was obvious this was sothing good.
Li Hanzhong didn’t hesitate, taking a couple of sips right away.
Indeed, just as she said, there was only a slight sweetness along with a hint of freshness.
Paired with the Ginseng Slice in his mouth, as the water went down his throat, Li Hanzhong genuinely felt that much of his exhaustion was imdiately dispelled.
He looked in amazent at the water in his hand and then at Jiang Xiao, "Little, this water..."
