“Alright, come by at this time tomorrow, and we’ll discuss further.” Guo Aiguo didn’t want to miss this opportunity; perhaps a miracle could happen.

“Okay, Mr. Guo, I won’t bother you with your work anymore. See you tomorrow.” After bidding farewell to Guo Aiguo, Qin Xue put her design drawings in her bag and left.

Only then did Qin Xue take the time to look around. Surprisingly, not only were the Aiguo and Liangmei Clothing factories here, but also paint and lumber factories were mixed in this western suburb.

Now that Qin Xue wasn’t in a hurry, she walked and looked around at a leisurely pace.

On the way, Qin Xue saw someone selling oranges and bought more than ten pounds. She couldn’t help it.

Ever since Qin Xue became pregnant, she had been craving sour foods but didn’t have any to eat.

Usually, fruit at the supply store required not only grocery vouchers but was also in short supply, so she couldn’t buy any. Now that she had finally come across some, she naturally had to buy more.

She filled one bag with two pounds and the rest in another bag. The orange seller was so generous to give her a few extras because she bought so many, making Qin Xue extremely happy.

After paying, Qin Xue carried a bag of oranges and walked slowly until she reached a secluded spot and threw the extra bag of oranges into her hidden space before carrying the lighter bag out.

She held an orange in her hand, slowly peeled it, and ate it. Hmm, it was quite sour, but it tasted great.

After finishing one, Qin Xue took out another slightly yellowish-orange to peel. Hmm, this one was pretty sweet; it seemed that the riper ones were much sweeter.

Having eaten two oranges, Qin Xue dusted her hands and stopped eating. She carried the bag and hurried to the marketplace.

From afar, she saw a large crowd gathered. Qin Xue took a detour around, not interested in joining the commotion. After only two steps, she heard someone shouting:

“Someone fainted here! Is anyone a doctor? Does anyone know medical skills?” Another person yelled, “Someone fainted! Please help to call an ambulance.”

Qin Xue didn’t want to get involved, but her professional habit made her stop in her tracks and walk toward the crowd. She pushed through the people:

“Let me through, I’m a doctor. Let me see.” The crowd automatically made way for Qin Xue when they heard she was a doctor.

Qin Xue walked in and saw an old woman with white hair lying on the ground. Without further ado, she immediately asked the crowd to clear space:

“Everyone, please step back and stop crowding around. The patient needs fresh air.”

Most people at this time were still quite simple-hearted. Hearing Qin Xue’s words, they moved away to let the air circulate.

Qin Xue dropped the oranges and crouched, checking the old woman’s complexion. She lifted her eyelids to see, realizing the elderly woman had a heart condition. She immediately performed artificial respiration and cardiac resuscitation.

The usually simple task was much more difficult for Qin Xue now that she was pregnant, doing first aid on the ground.

However, the situation didn’t allow Qin Xue to slack off for even a moment. It took seven or eight minutes of cardiac resuscitation before the old lady’s breathing stabilized.

Qin Xue found a bottle of cardiotonic pills in the old lady’s pocket, took out two pills, opened her own water bottle, and helped the old lady swallow the pills before closing the cap.

Just then, the ambulance arrived. As the medical staff lifted the elderly woman into the ambulance, Qin Xue thought about how Spirit Spring water would benefit the old lady and handed her water bottle over.

The medical staff thought it was the patient’s water bottle and accepted it without hesitation, completely unaware that an old woman would carry such a girlish water bottle.

Watching the old woman being taken away by the ambulance, Qin Xue picked up the oranges from the ground. The crowd burst into warm applause, and Qin Xue smiled before walking away with her oranges.

After buying some black sesame and brown sugar at the supply store, she returned to the shop. Luckily, she came back just in time for lunch. Qin Xue had been planning to cook some noodles, but now she didn’t have to and just ate the ready-made meal..
