104: Chapter 103 Watching the Drama_1 104: Chapter 103 Watching the Drama_1 Mu Nanqing was full of doubts and asked, “But even I can understand the content on those three prescriptions, and now that Cherng Yong has also betrayed us, shouldn’t they be able to easily make the elixir pills?
Could it be…
the prescriptions they got are fake?”
Zhou Siming and others also looked towards Lu Chuan, wanting to know why he would say so.
The corners of Lu Chuan’s mouth curled into a smile as he said, “The prescriptions they took are indeed real, but only I can refine these three types of elixir pills in the whole world because there is a special step in the refining process that they don’t know and cannot learn.”
Zhou Siming, curious, asked, “What step?”
Lu Chuan replied, “Let’s keep that a secret for now.
Even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand.”
In reality, it’s because the refining process required the infusion of Spiritual Energy to stimulate the dicinal properties, sothing only a cultivator could accomplish.
Lu Chuan couldn’t possibly reveal his identity as a cultivator, so he had no choice but to use secrecy as an excuse.
Although Zhou Siming was still curious, considering the recent incident of the dicine recipe theft at the dical hall, he had to suppress his curiosity and said, “Right, right, we must keep it secret, this must not be let out again.”
Mu Nanqing asked, “Then we don’t have to worry about Jerry Pharmaceuticals targeting us?”
Lu Chuan nodded, “The more trouble they stir up, the more regretful they will be in the end.
Let them do as they please.”
Mu Nanqing instantly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the guilt in his heart lighten considerably.
“Xiaochuan is still the most aweso!” Mu Nanqing said happily.
At this mont, a commotion ca from outside.
“Hey, isn’t your dical hall usually booming?
Why isn’t it open today?” a shouting voice arose.
Lu Chuan recognized it as Xiao Yun’s voice.
A smile appeared on his face as he said, “It seems they have co to flaunt their supposed superiority.
Let’s go and see how arrogant they can be.”
Knowing that the consequence of the recipe theft was nearly inconsequential, Mu Nanqing and Zhou Siming, along with others, followed Lu Chuan outside with renewed confidence, smiling.
The lobby of the dical hall.
Xiao Yun strutted in, radiating smugness, accompanied by Xiaoyue, Cherng Yong, and several people from Jerry Pharmaceuticals.
As Lu Chuan approached them, his gaze fell on Xiaoyue and he said with disappointnt, “Xiaoyue, I really didn’t expect you to be this kind of person.”
Xiaoyue imdiately clung to Xiao Yun’s arm, her face showing a sycophantic smile, “What kind of person am I?
My heart belongs to Brother Xiao Yun, I’ll do whatever he asks of .
Who told you to be so foolish as to trust so easily?”
Zhou Siming, angered, looked towards Cherng Yong and cursed, “Cherng Yong, you ungrateful traitor!
Taking you as my disciple is the biggest mistake I’ve made in my life!”
Cherng Yong snorted with a laugh, “Old man, becoming your disciple is the biggest mistake of my life!
Following you, how much suffering and scolding have I endured?
I am quite well-known as a doctor now, but you kept doing chores in this shabby dical hall, and I’ve wanted to break away from you for a long ti!”
“Now that I’m with President Xiao, he has promised to make the head of this project.
The treatnt I’m getting is far better than what I had with you!”
Lu Chuan looked at him and said, “Head of the project?
If this project fails, not only will you bear all the responsibility, you might even end up in jail.”
Cherng Yong laughed heartily, “Fail?
Are you joking?
Jerry Pharmaceuticals’ project is bound to succeed!”
Now it was Xiao Yun’s turn to speak up.
He looked at Lu Chuan with a cold sneer of triumph, “Lu Chuan, you’ve caused to stumble twice, but this ti you’ll finally fall into the pit I’ve dug for you!”
“Let tell you, our enterprise has already ford a Traditional dicine Departnt, and we’ll soon open a Jerry Traditional dicine shop right across the street from you!”
“We’ve already purchased the equipnt needed to produce elixir pills, spending a fortune for Jerry Pharmaceuticals.
Plus, I’ve had people stock a whole year’s worth of the dicinal materials required for elixir pills.
All that’s left is to start refining the pills and launch them on the market!”
“Now that everything is ready, all we need is just the right opportunity.
It won’t take long before your Hanging Gourd dical Hall is thoroughly crushed under our feet, and then you’ll have no choice but to co begging to !”
“How about it?
Want to take the chance now while there’s still so leeway?
Co beg .
My demands aren’t high: kneel down and kowtow a few tis, transfer Hanging Gourd dical Hall to , work for from now on, and I’ll let you off the hook.
How about it?”
Lu Chuan, seeing his confident look, found it sowhat amusing and said, “Sorry, I don’t see the necessity.”
Xiao Yun huffed, “Lu Chuan, don’t be so arrogant.
I’m only offering this chance once.
After today, I’ll make sure you have nowhere to be buried!”
Lu Chuan shrugged, “As you wish.”
Xiaoyue chid in, “Brother Xiao Yun, don’t waste ti on this brainless fool.
Let’s just cut off their livelihood and see if they regret it then!”
Cherng Yong followed with a threat, “You really don’t know you’re dead even when death is knocking at your door.
How ridiculous!”
The people of Hanging Gourd dical Hall all remained serene, unmoved as they watched Xiao Yun’s group as if viewing a bunch of clowns.
Xiao Yun sensed sothing was off, wondering, why aren’t they panicking at all?
They should be jumping with anxiety since their most important dicine recipes are in my hands, right?
Looking at Lu Chuan and the others with their unfazed expressions, he silently mused, “They must be pretending to be calm, putting on an air of indifference while they’re actually anxious like ants on a hot pan.
Otherwise, their dical hall wouldn’t have closed for the day.”
He sneered, thinking to himself that he was the smartest, seeing through their disguise at a glance.
“Keep pretending here, I want to see how long you can keep it up!”
Xiao Yun shouted, then left Hanging Gourd dical Hall with Xiaoyue and the others in a ferocious manner.
Mu Nanqing looked at Lu Chuan and asked, “Xiaochuan, what do we do next?”
Lu Chuan replied indifferently, “Business as usual.”
The next day, right across from Hanging Gourd dical Hall, Jerry Traditional dicine grandly opened for business.
The crackling sound of firecrackers attracted many people to join in the excitent.
Xiao Yun gave an important speech at the opening ceremony, declaring that Jerry Pharmaceuticals would now focus all its efforts on the developnt of traditional Chinese dicine, ostensibly to benefit the common people.
He claid that within a month, they would defeat Hanging Gourd dical Hall and beco the best traditional dicine clinic in Cloud City.
Lu Chuan’s response to this claim was to move a lounge chair in front of the dical hall, grab a handful of sunflower seeds, and lay there, cracking seeds while watching the commotion.
Xiao Yun thought Lu Chuan was just pretending to stay calm and simply ignored his behavior.
That afternoon, the powerful marketing departnt of Jerry Pharmaceuticals began to create buzz, claiming their Chinese dicine departnt had spent ten years and billions to finally develop three miracle elixir pills.
The three elixir pills had amazing effects; just one dose could bring significant changes to a person’s body.
They also released the nas of the three elixir pills: Qi Generating Pill, Essence Nourishing Pill and Cure-All Pill, and claid all three were independently developed while casually slandering Hanging Gourd dical Hall for stealing their research results.
Everyone took this as a joke.
Nonetheless, one thing still caught the undivided attention of many.
The three elixir pills were set to go on sale in three days, and the price was only half that of Hanging Gourd dical Hall’s three pills!
No matter how Jerry Pharmaceuticals obtained these three elixir pills, if their effects were truly the sa as Vital Essence Regenerating Pill, Qi Nourishing Pill, and Hundred Cure Pill, it would indeed be a blessing for everyone.
After all, these three elixir pills were too difficult to buy now, and the price hikes were infuriating.
Xiao Yun, seeing everyone’s reaction, beca even more convinced that he could completely trample Lu Chuan underfoot this ti.
That night, at a five-star hotel.
After working out, Xiaoyue lay in Xiao Yun’s arms, coquettishly saying, “Xiao Yun brother, Cherng Yong has beco the head of this project, but Xiaoyue’s contribution is much bigger than his.
What reward do you want to give Xiaoyue, brother?”
Xiao Yun said with a smile, “Indeed, the greatest credit this ti goes to you.
I really should reward you properly.
Tell , what reward do you want?”
Xiaoyue thought for a mont and said, “We set up a company specifically for this project.
Why don’t you let be the legal representative of the company?”
In her mind, the company’s legal representative was on the sa level as the chairman.
Becoming a legal representative ant she could live without worries for the rest of her life.
Xiao Yun was montarily stunned, then a teasing smile appeared on his face, as he said, “Okay, if you want to be the legal representative of this company, then it’s yours.”
Xiaoyue was instantly overjoyed, gave Xiao Yun a kiss, and said pleasingly, “Brother Xiao Yun, you’re so good to .
Let make you feel good again.”
With that, she dived under the covers.
Three days later.
In the production workshop of Jerry Pharmaceuticals.
Xiao Yun looked at the large quantity of elixir pills that had been produced, his face filled with rage, and he hysterically asked Cherng Yong, “Today is the official launch day of these elixir pills, and the press conference has been prepared; thousands of people are waiting, and you’re telling that the produced elixir pills have no effects at all, are you fucking kidding ?”
Cherng Yong’s face was pale, his voice trembling, “Xiao…
President Xiao, I don’t know what went wrong, I just followed the prescription, and all the proportions of the herbs were absolutely accurate.
After producing the elixir pills, we even compared them with Hanging Gourd dical Hall’s pills, and the analysis confird that the ingredients were exactly the sa!”
“But for so reason, our elixir pills have no effect when taken, no different from…
from ordinary jelly beans!”
Xiao Yun picked up an elixir pill and put it into his mouth, praying for it to work soon.
However, after a long while, his body showed no change.
He clenched his fist instantly, his body shaking with anger.
Then he slapped Cherng Yong across the face, cursing loudly, “Fuck, this crap isn’t even as good as jelly beans!”
At this mont, a beautiful secretary ran in, anxiously saying, “President Xiao, the journalists at the press conference are getting impatient, so are even questioning whether we have actually developed elixir pills and moreover…
moreover, Hanging Gourd dical Hall suddenly announced that for three days, they’re selling their elixir pills at half price.
The people waiting for our press conference have all run off to Hanging Gourd dical Hall to buy pills!”
Xiao Yun felt a darkness before his eyes, nearly falling over, then cursed furiously, “Lu Chuan, I curse your fucking ancestors for eight generations!”
