Chapter 742: Chapter 0742: Only 199

Yao Ming and Yao Buc looked at Tang Ming with livid faces, but for a moment they didn’t know how to refute him; indeed, the symptoms of poisoning had been alleviated, and the price was even much lower than theirs.

Originally, they had made over a hundred million, but now it seemed that all this money might have to be returned, while Tang Ming had earned ninety million with just a bottle of mineral water, which was infuriating.

"Tang Ming, I really can’t thank you enough."

An Family elder gave Tang Ming a big hug and whispered, "If it weren’t for you stepping in righteously, my reputation as the Divine Doctor would have been smashed, and I probably couldn’t mix in society afterward."

"It’s nothing, but it’s best if you distance yourself from the Medicine Sect in the future. These guys caused trouble at your birthday banquet and didn’t respect you at all."

Tang Ming also whispered, "I haven’t prepared any birthday gift, so consider this intervention my gift to you."

"No problem, your stepping in is the best gift for me. But relations between master and apprentice cannot be easily severed; please forgive any offenses."

The elder of the An Family helplessly sighed; even if he was displeased, he couldn’t possibly turn against his master. That was his baseline as a person.

"Alright, I’ve said all I need to say, how you walk your path in the future is your own affair now."

Tang Ming could understand the elder of the An Family’s predicament; if the other party were a shameless person who forgot favors for profit, Tang Ming wouldn’t have assisted so readily.

"Return the money, return the money!"

Those who had previously bought the Detoxification Elixir all became enraged, "We spent so much money on a so-called Detoxification Elixir that can’t even handle food poisoning, how can we expect it to protect us? Return our money now!"

"Exactly, even after taking the Detoxification Elixir, the poisoning wasn’t cured; this medicine is completely ineffective, return our money fast."

"I want my deposit back; the Medicine Sect is actually selling fake medicine, too shameless."

"Heartless fraudsters, selling fake medicine for millions, why don’t they just drop dead?"

A crowd, driven by anger, surrounded Yao Ming and Yao Buc.

The matter having come this far, it was confirmed that the pills Yao Ming took and those they had bought were not the same, essentially they were duped with counterfeits, and naturally, they could not tolerate this.

The faces of Yao Ming and Yao Buc flushed red, but facing the accusations from the crowd, they were left speechless and eventually had no choice but to reluctantly refund the money.

The feeling of giving the money they believed was theirs back was simply unbearable.

The loss of money was a minor matter; the Medicine Sect’s long-planned sales campaign for the Detoxification Elixir was likely to go bankrupt given the current situation, as promoting the Detoxification Elixir now would definitely attract torrents of criticism.

Although their hearts were filled with reluctance and anger, inciting public outrage was not beneficial for the Medicine Sect, hence Yao Buc and Yao Ming could only grimace, refunding where refunds were due, and apologizing where apologies were necessary.

"We should leave now!" After returning to his seat, Tang Ming called out, preparing to leave with his group.

After such a disturbance, the elder of the An Family’s birthday banquet had to end prematurely; there was no need for them to stay, and Tang Ming stepping forward was already the best gift for the elder of the An Family, he had repaid his social obligation, and it was time to step back after accomplishing his goal.

"Poison Sect leader, are we not staying to watch the excitement continue?"

Xin Badao watched Yao buci and Yao Ming being attacked by the crowd and said with a chuckle, "This scene of beating a fallen dog, it’s so exhilarating."

"Boring."

Tang Ming glanced at Xin Badao and reminded him, "Regardless, this is still Mr. An’s birthday banquet, and moreover, Mr. An is Yao buci’s apprentice. If we keep causing a scene, it will cost him his dignity. It’s wise to always leave some leeway for the future, so let’s go, we still need to get along with Mr. An in the future."

"Such magnanimity of Poison Dragon, truly incomparable,"

Chu Batian said with a sigh of admiration, feeling somewhat shameless compared to the young Tang Ming.

"Pack up and prepare to head home, we’ve already secured the biggest benefit,"

Tang Ming straightened his clothes and said with a grin.

"Brother Ming, it seems like we just had a meal, what benefit did we get?" Zhou Dafu asked, puzzled.

"You idiot, haven’t I already advertised ’Tang Ming Oral Liquid No.2’?"

Tang Ming knocked on Zhou Dafu’s head and slowly said, "Although the company hasn’t launched the new product yet, I put out the advertisement first. Once you guys go back, immediately develop a detoxifying oral liquid, I guarantee that the company’s profits will increase several times over."

"Right, right, it was already making good money at the price of 99, and now at 199, we can definitely make a killing,"

Zhou Dafu nodded repeatedly, finally understanding the meaning.

The others looked on with disdain at Tang Ming, realizing that after all this time, Tang Ming was the biggest wheeler-dealer, not only making ninety million from a bottle of mineral water but also paving the way for future profits, absolutely cunning.

Although it seemed like the Medicine Sect made a substantial amount of money from launching the Detoxification Elixir, earning tens of millions, and could earn quite a bit in the short term, the sales would inevitably decline over time making the profits very limited.

However, Tang Ming Oral Liquid No.2 could be mass-produced, with the reputation of Tang Ming Oral Liquid backing it up, plus the publicity from this event, the new drug could definitely become a hit once launched, offering long-term benefits and a continuous stream of income, absolutely more profitable than the Medicine Sect’s Detoxification Elixir in the long run.

And the most important point was that the Medicine Sect’s Detoxification Elixir project might have already gone bankrupt due to Tang Ming’s interference, likely making Medicine Sect’s personnel absolutely detest Tang Ming afterward.

Thus, Mr. An’s birthday banquet came to a hasty end after various twists and turns, and Tang Ming and the others, after packing up at the hotel, checked out and left Wubei City in Chen Cang’s shuttle.

That afternoon, in Mr. An’s study, a furious Yao buci smashed everything on the desk.

Mr. An, along with the An Family’s members, knelt before the desk, faces filled with fear.

"You traitor, how did you get involved with the Poison Sect, and today, you even let them humiliate Medicine Sect so severely, destroying the grand plans for launching the Detoxification Elixir,"

Yao buci pointed at An Zizai, cursing furiously.

"Master, I didn’t know how the people from Poison Sect ended up with Tang Ming. I didn’t send them an invitation, I only invited the boss of Tangming Group, Tang Ming himself,"

An Zizai looked at Yao buci with a face full of grievance, knowing that inviting Tang Ming was the same as inviting those two bodyguards, yet he dared not voice this fact.

At this moment, Mr. An inwardly gave himself a thumbs up, grateful for the foresight of not sending an invite to Xin Badao; otherwise, the collusion with Poison Sect might have been proved legitimate.
