Chapter 377: Chapter 0377: Detoxification Liquid

Tang Ming had always marched to the beat of his own drum, living a carefree life. To him, so-called Jianghu rules were as good as non-existent, not to mention a marriage contract. Even if he were married, he wouldn’t let a woman off the hook if she cheated.

That was why Tang Ming insisted on canceling his engagement with Liu Mengting. Although he didn’t take a stand for family, he valued his personal reputation highly. Unfortunately, Liu Gaoze had tricked him, and now he had no choice but to dutifully serve as Liu Mengting’s bodyguard.

Moli’s appearance was merely a minor episode, and the banquet continued. Moli, however, stayed close to Zhou Dafu, declaring to everyone her status as the Young Master’s fiancée.

Zhou Dafu could only helplessly escort Moli around, toasting and entertaining guests.

The grand banquet went very smoothly and ended perfectly.

After the grand banquet ended, the guests dispersed, but some important figures did not leave. Instead, they gathered again in the presidential suite of Jun Tianhao’s hotel for a smaller banquet.

Zhou Xiaoqian and the women of the Zhou Family were with Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli in the smaller banquet hall, chatting, listening to music, while Tang Ming and others held a meeting over tea in the suite.

The Zhou Family owed their success to Tang Ming. During the grand banquet, the three generations of the Zhou Family hadn’t been able to attend to Tang Ming personally, so they specifically hosted this tea party for him after the banquet ended.

Tang Ming did not refuse and also invited Li Xiangui and his son to join.

Tang Ming, Li’s father and son, three generations of the Ma Family, and three generations of the Zhou Family sat together in the suite, chatting leisurely.

Li Xiangui was very excited. The Li Family was merely a business family, but now, thanks to Tang Ming, they could sit on equal footing with the Ma Family and Zhou Family, two Martial Arts Families, which made Li Xiangui very grateful for his earlier decision to ingratiate himself with Tang Ming.

The Ma Family and Zhou Family, out of respect for Tang Ming, showed no neglect toward the Li Family, and the group talked very pleasantly.

"Gentlemen!"

When the small talk subsided, Tang Ming knocked on the table.

Everyone immediately fell silent and turned their attention to Tang Ming.

"Although Old Master Zhou and Old Master Ma have recovered from their injuries, the overall strength of their families still needs improvement, especially the Zhou Family. After this upheaval, their businesses have significantly contracted. If we don’t find a way to get through these difficult times, the Zhou Family might go bankrupt."

Tang Ming opened the discussion slowly, analyzing the current situation.

"Young Master Tang, rest assured, my Ma Family and Zhou Family are allies, and we will definitely not watch the Zhou Family suffer. I can allocate some of our industries to the Zhou Family," said Ma Tong, the old master, taking the initiative.

"Let’s not," Tang Ming rolled his eyes and countered, "On the slum development projects, the Ma Family has lost several billions. Although it hasn’t critically weakened us, we’re certainly not in good shape! Moreover, supporting the Zhou Family with Ma Family’s industries would not enhance anything overall and might even drag down the Ma Family."

Upon hearing this, people from the Ma Family’s lips twitched involuntarily—weren’t these losses caused by Tang Ming?

"Young Master Tang, my Li Family is a business dynasty, and we are not short on money. Perhaps..." Li Xiangui hurriedly spoke.

"It’s unnecessary. Sharing resources from the Li Family would also weaken its power, resulting in a loss that outweighs the gain," Tang Ming waved his hand, cutting off Li Xiangui, hoping the outcome would be to elevate the Ma Family, Zhou Family, and Li Family simultaneously, rather than weakening them together.

"So, what should we do?" Zhou Dafu sighed and said helplessly,

"Many of the Zhou Family’s businesses have already been sold off by my elder and second uncles, and all our overseas businesses have been monopolized by my third uncle. Now, the great Zhou Family has become an empty shell. We can only shrink our business operations to maintain the family functions."

"Those damn ungrateful children." Hearing this, Old Master Zhou felt his teeth itch with hatred.

"Reducing business operations is correct, but it doesn’t prevent the Zhou Family from starting anew."

Tang Ming gave a slight smile and addressed everyone, "I have a proposal, I wonder if you might be interested?"

"Young Master Tang, please share it with us!" Zhou Xianyi urged immediately.

The people from the Ma Family and the Li Family also looked expectantly at Tang Guangming, having great confidence in Tang Ming’s abilities and knowing that he could definitely offer some valuable suggestions.

"I plan to..."

Tang Ming had just begun to speak when he suddenly paused, his gaze shifting to the door of the private room.

The attentive crowd was unsure why Tang Ming had suddenly stopped speaking and anxiously wanted to ask what was going on.

"Dafu, go check the door," Mr. Zhou instructed with a furrowed brow.

Zhou Dafu, puzzled, nodded his head, stood up, and walked to the door. As he flung it open, Moli stumbled in.

Seeing Moli eavesdropping outside shocked Ma Gangqiang and Ma Gangjian, who stood up abruptly, their gazes unfriendly as they stared at Moli.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Dafu asked with an ugly expression.

"I... I came to serve you all."

After stabilizing herself, Moli hurriedly explained; she had wanted to understand what Zhou Dafu and the others were discussing inside the private room but was caught just as she arrived.

"We don’t need your service here, leave!" Zhou Dafu said sternly with a stern face, warning her:

"If you want my acceptance, behave yourself from now on. If this happens again, I won’t forgive you."

"Yes, yes, yes." Moli nodded repeatedly as she left the private room. As she turned around, her eyes filled with resentment and anger.

"Sorry, sorry."

After closing the door, Zhou Dafu apologized to everyone inside the room.

"No problem, shall we continue?" Tang Ming said with a smile, seemingly unconcerned.

The patriarchs of the Ma and Zhou Families exchanged glances, both shocked. Their high cultivation hadn’t alerted them to the presence of someone eavesdropping at the door, yet Tang Ming had noticed. Did this not signify that Tang Ming’s strength was now far superior to theirs?

"Here’s what I’m thinking: we should form a joint pharmaceutical company between the Ma, Zhou, and Li families."

Tang Ming spoke calmly and explained, "You should all be aware that I have the Detoxification Pill. Using it as a selling point, I believe our pharmaceutical company can certainly become very successful."

"Young Master Tang, are you planning to sell the Detoxification Pill?" Mr. Zhou asked, looking at Tang Ming in astonishment.

The others were also shocked; indeed, if they started selling the Detoxification Pill, it could shake the entire Martial Arts world.

At the previous auction, just one Detoxification Pill had sold for twenty million; if they were produced in bulk, the profit...

"A treasure like the Detoxification Pill isn’t something that can be produced easily. Moreover, its target audience is too limited; only martial artists would be interested, which isn’t suitable for commercialization."

Tang Ming pursed his lips and continued, "However, I can offer a Detoxification Liquid. Though its effects aren’t as extraordinary as the Detoxification Pill, it can definitely cure common cases of poisoning in ordinary people, like food poisoning, diarrhea, heatstroke, and more."

"Oh, that effect is already amazing. If we can successfully prepare the Detoxification Liquid, it would certainly sell well nationwide."

Li Xiangui nodded repeatedly; as the head of a commercial family, he immediately recognized its commercial value.
