Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 104 - 104 103 Watching the Drama_1

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 medicinal properties, something 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 medicine recipe theft at the medical 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 awesome!” Mu Nanqing said happily.

At this moment, a commotion came from outside.

“Hey, isn’t your medical 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 come 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 medical 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 disappointment, “Xiaoyue, I really didn’t expect you to be this kind of person.”

Xiaoyue immediately 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 me.

Who told you to be so foolish as to trust me 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 me doing chores in this shabby medical hall, and I’ve wanted to break away from you for a long time!”

“Now that I’m with President Xiao, he has promised to make me the head of this project.

The treatment 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 me to stumble twice, but this time you’ll finally fall into the pit I’ve dug for you!”

“Let me tell you, our enterprise has already formed a Traditional Medicine Department, and we’ll soon open a Jerry Traditional Medicine shop right across the street from you!”

“We’ve already purchased the equipment needed to produce elixir pills, spending a fortune for Jerry Pharmaceuticals.

Plus, I’ve had people stock a whole year’s worth of the medicinal 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 Medical Hall is thoroughly crushed under our feet, and then you’ll have no choice but to come begging to me!”

“How about it?

Want to take the chance now while there’s still some leeway?

Come beg me.

My demands aren’t high: kneel down and kowtow a few times, transfer Hanging Gourd Medical Hall to me, work for me from now on, and I’ll let you off the hook.

How about it?”

Lu Chuan, seeing his confident look, found it somewhat 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 chimed in, “Brother Xiao Yun, don’t waste time 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 Medical Hall all remained serene, unmoved as they watched Xiao Yun’s group as if viewing a bunch of clowns.

Xiao Yun sensed something was off, wondering, why aren’t they panicking at all?

They should be jumping with anxiety since their most important medicine 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 medical 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 Medical 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 Medical Hall, Jerry Traditional Medicine grandly opened for business.

The crackling sound of firecrackers attracted many people to join in the excitement.

Xiao Yun gave an important speech at the opening ceremony, declaring that Jerry Pharmaceuticals would now focus all its efforts on the development of traditional Chinese medicine, ostensibly to benefit the common people.

He claimed that within a month, they would defeat Hanging Gourd Medical Hall and become the best traditional medicine clinic in Cloud City.

Lu Chuan’s response to this claim was to move a lounge chair in front of the medical 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 department of Jerry Pharmaceuticals began to create buzz, claiming their Chinese medicine department 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 names of the three elixir pills: Qi Generating Pill, Essence Nourishing Pill and Cure-All Pill, and claimed all three were independently developed while casually slandering Hanging Gourd Medical 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 Medical Hall’s three pills!

No matter how Jerry Pharmaceuticals obtained these three elixir pills, if their effects were truly the same 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, became even more convinced that he could completely trample Lu Chuan underfoot this time.

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 become 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 time goes to you.

I really should reward you properly.

Tell me, what reward do you want?”

Xiaoyue thought for a moment and said, “We set up a company specifically for this project.

Why don’t you let me be the legal representative of the company?”

In her mind, the company’s legal representative was on the same level as the chairman.

Becoming a legal representative meant she could live without worries for the rest of her life.

Xiao Yun was momentarily 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 me.

Let me 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 me that the produced elixir pills have no effects at all, are you fucking kidding me?”

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 Medical Hall’s pills, and the analysis confirmed that the ingredients were exactly the same!”

“But for some 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 moment, a beautiful secretary ran in, anxiously saying, “President Xiao, the journalists at the press conference are getting impatient, some are even questioning whether we have actually developed elixir pills and moreover…

moreover, Hanging Gourd Medical 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 Medical 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!”
