Chapter 351: Epidemic Virus

Chen Yang returned to the Old Hundreds Agricultural Products Trading Company mainly to remind Shen Anna to pay attention to the hygiene of chain stores and cold storage over the recent period.

As long as Wu Junhui wants to take revenge on him, even if he is abroad, he can remotely control others to sabotage.

As for the agricultural products sector, as long as the source is fine, if the other side wants to find fault, they can only manipulate the shipping and sales process.

Therefore, as long as environmental hygiene is kept under control, Wu Junhui can temporarily do nothing to him.

However, when he went to Shen Anna's office, he saw her sitting in her chair with her brows tightly furrowed, even seeming a bit unsettled.

Anna, what's wrong?

Shen Anna saw Chen Yang come in, and she said unhappily, "Zhao Xiaoxiao just went to Deep City and caught a cold; I had her go to the hospital for a check-up. It's been a day already, and I don't know if she's better. I called her but her phone is off—do you think something might have happened?"

Chen Yang frowned slightly, instinctively picking up his phone to call Su Mingyue. After about five minutes, the call finally connected, and then he heard Su Mingyue speak weakly: "Chen Yang, what do you need?"

Chen Yang's memory suddenly lit up, and he nervously asked her: "Are you also coming down with a cold?"

"Mm, I just took cold medicine and feel really sleepy. If it's nothing, I'll sleep a bit more..."

Su Mingyue hung up after saying that.

Chen Yang worried that Su Mingyue might have an accident, so he immediately called Xiao Jian.

"Old Xiao, go check on Su Mingyue's place now to see how serious her cold is. If it's serious, immediately send her to the best hospital for a check-up."

"Alright, I'm heading over now."

"Wait, first go to the pharmacy and buy some good protective masks. I heard there's a highly contagious S virus spreading in the south lately. Wearing a mask can maximize protection against infection."

"Also, go to the supermarket and buy two bottles of vinegar to disinfect both Su Mingyue's and your own residences."

"Also, the market department manager I sent to Deep City, Zhao Xiaoxiao, caught a cold yesterday, and we still don't know her condition. You must also go check on her, and report any sudden developments to me immediately."

"Okay!"

After Xiao Jian's call ended, Chen Yang finally let out a quiet sigh of relief.

"Boss, what is this S virus you mentioned? Could Xiaoxiao have been infected with the S virus?" Seeing Chen Yang's solemn expression while he was on the phone, Shen Anna also grew tense.

Chen Yang said: "I don't know what the S virus is either; I only heard it's highly infectious. To be safe, you should now send out all our company's purchasing to buy more masks on the market."

Shen Anna asked Chen Yang: "Approximately how many masks do we need?"

Chen Yang thought for a moment and said: "I estimate this infectious virus will soon trouble Dongjiang Province. We should buy as many as we can. Besides distributing some to our company's employees and their families, any surplus can be kept as backup. If there's no place to store it, we can first rent a large warehouse."

Upon hearing this, Shen Anna immediately realized the problem might be serious. She anxiously said to Chen Yang: "Will Xiaoxiao be okay?"

Chen Yang gently reassured her: "Anna, rest assured. If Xiaoxiao really is infected with the S virus, no matter how much money it takes, I will do my best to cure her."

"Alright, I'll get back to work then." Shen Anna trusts Chen Yang completely. Since Chen Yang can guarantee Xiaoxiao's safety, her task is to ensure that all employees of the Old Hundreds Agricultural Products Trading Company are not infected with the S virus.

After Chen Yang waited for her to leave, he then called Hu Shiyou.

"Uncle, I've heard that the S virus infection situation in the south has become very serious lately. Is that true?"

"Chen Yang, where did you hear this news from?"

"Uncle, don't ask about the source of the news. If it's true, I hope you can remind the leaders of the Shencheng municipal government to pay attention to this. Do your best to protect against it and prevent the situation from expanding. Also, two of my friends in Shencheng might have been infected with the S virus; I'm sending people over to check. If it's true, you absolutely must not be careless!"

Hu Shiyou remained silent on the phone for a long time, finally replying to Chen Yang with "I understand," and then hung up.

Chen Yang felt that merely letting Shen Anna and Hu Shiyou understand the terror of the S virus wasn't enough, so he also called Liu Jianghua and Kong Jie to give them preventive shots first.

After that, Chen Yang called Lin Wei again, telling her to wear a mask as much as possible when going out and to avoid crowded places.

Finally, Chen Yang called Song Yajun, asking him to procure large quantities of masks and vinegar in Qingshui City. Besides distributing some to the company's employees, the rest should be stored in the warehouse as backup.

After finishing these arrangements, Chen Yang went to the Stellar Radiance Financial Investment Company and found Yexin.

"Miss Xin, has the Public Pass payment license been obtained yet? When can it officially go live?"

"Wow, is the sun rising from the west? You actually care about the company's business?" Yexin, who rarely sees Chen Yang take the joint venture's business so seriously, was a bit surprised.

Chen Yang now had no mood to joke with Yexin; he spoke seriously: "Miss Xin, the Old Hundreds Agricultural Products Trading Company's e-commerce platform may soon have a great opportunity to expand its influence. If Public Pass can operate normally, I hope this third-party payment platform can be immediately integrated into the Old Hundreds' e-commerce platform."

Yexin saw Chen Yang's serious attitude and also put away her smile. She also seriously asked Chen Yang: "I can let the company's engineers integrate Public Pass into the Old Hundreds' e-commerce platform in advance, but you need to give me a reasonable reason. You can't just say it's based on your feeling and let the company roll out an still-incomplete payment system hastily."

Chen Yang said: "A severe epidemic virus has recently broken out in the south. I estimate this virus will soon spread nationwide and even worldwide."

"At that time, the government will implement a series of social isolation measures to reduce infection risk. If that happens, ordinary people going out to shop may encounter various inconveniences, while those who understand the internet will learn to try online shopping."

"This, then, is the best opportunity for Public Pass and the Old Hundreds e-commerce platform to make a name for themselves nationwide!"

Yexin carefully sized up Chen Yang, confirming he wasn't just making up a story, then said: "Alright, then I'll have them integrate Public Pass into the Old Hundreds e-commerce platform tomorrow. However, if customers encounter any errors during use, I won't be responsible, okay!"

"No problem." Chen Yang said: "A payment platform in its initial trial stage inevitably has many problems. As long as customer service is done well, misunderstandings will naturally be resolved."

"Moreover, only by continually discovering problems can we know how to further improve Public Pass's functions, making it better."

Yexin gave Chen Yang a thumbs-up. This guy usually doesn't care about things most of the time, but as long as he gets serious, he always manages to bring surprises.
