Chapter 997: It’s Good If You Can’t Get It


    Editor: Henyee Translations


    There was one??


    The prefecture magistrate instantly perked up and looked at him with burning eyes.


    Shao Qingyuan said, “At the end of the day, this matter is beneficial to the country and the people. However, the people don’t believe us in their hearts. If we take the initiative to say that we want to help others with vaccination, I’m afraid they will still suspect that nothing good will happen. In that case, we might as well do the opposite and make people want it but can’t get it. The people will take the initiative to ask for the inoculation.”


    “How do we take the initiative?” Prefecture Magistrate Dai was interested. What he said made sense.


    Shao Qingyuan whispered, “Tell them a story.”


    ‘Huh?’


    ...


    A story?


    Prefecture Magistrate Dai was a little disappointed for a moment. He thought that he had an awesome extra idea, but it was just telling a story?


    But he asked anyway. “What story?”


    Shao Qingyuan took it. To be honest, it was a little profound.


    However, it was definitely much better than his work. In any case, he could not write it.


    At the very least, the prefecture magistrate had written down the gist he wanted to express clearly. When he got back, he would let the storyteller speak more emotionally. It would definitely be very effective.


    Shao Qingyuan nodded. “Lord Dai is so literary.”


    “Haha, your story is good.”


    “Lord Dai is good at writing.”


    “That’s not worth mentioning. Thankfully, you came up with such a good idea.”


    Dai Wenhuo, who had just reached the door of the study, happened to hear the two of them praising each other. The corners of his mouth could not help but twitch.


    He knocked on the door until someone came in. Then, he pushed the door open and entered. He looked at the two of them and said, “It’s getting late. Mother asked me to look for you to eat in the reception hall.”


    The prefecture magistrate suddenly realized that it was already past noon after writing for so long.


    “Yes, yes, yes. Let’s eat first and discuss the rest later.”


    As he spoke, the prefecture magistrate took the lead and walked out. After taking a few steps, he returned and brought the papers with him.
