Chapter 218: Chapter 218: River City Chamber of Commerce, Too Dirty_1

After listening to Zhou Defa’s words, Ning Fan couldn’t help but laugh.

What a commotion, so they were waiting right here?

Carrot and stick?

Good cop and bad cop?

Pan Ting’s greed knows no bounds, such an outrageous character!

Zhao Defa feigns decency, but he’s old and sly!

And then there’s a bunch of chamber of commerce members, each like wolves circling their prey!

But Ning Fan looked at them as if they were all idiots.

Medicinal materials? The herbs used in the Rejuvenation Pill are common, and even if the River City Chamber of Commerce could stop all local herbalists from selling, he could always buy from other places. Not to mention, the production of Spirit Qi Water only needs Spiritual Liquid and doesn’t require purchasing any materials!

Employees? The most critical steps in producing the Rejuvenation Pill and Spirit Qi Water could be handled by Ning Fan alone; the rest was extremely simple. If nobody showed up for work, the men under Baldy Qiang would be enough to sort it out!

Office building and factory? Tianling Pharmaceutical doesn’t need much space. If it really came to downscaling, a single villa would do, especially since Ning Fan had bought up the entire building following the incident caused by Zhao Xinghui a few days earlier!

As for the sales channels, that was even more laughable. Pan Ting’s so-called Spirit Dissolving Alliance was nothing but loose sand in the black market. Did they really think they could cut off the Spirit Qi Water’s sales with that? In their dreams! Not to mention, in this age of the internet, if he opened up online sales, who would care about some local black market control?

"Pan Ting, Zhou Defa, let me tell you," Ning Fan mocked, "with your lousy Spirit Dissolving Alliance and that pathetic River City Chamber of Commerce, you think you can suppress Tianling Pharmaceutical? You want to forcibly divide Tianling Pharmaceutical’s shares and profits? You’re daydreaming!"

"Want to buy shares of Tianling Pharmaceutical? Not to mention a hundred million for a ten percent share, even a hundred billion wouldn’t get you a deal from me!"

"If you don’t believe me, go ahead and try to suppress us. I’d like to see how!"

"This River City Chamber of Commerce is way too dirty. Tianling Pharmaceutical is too good for this place."

"Ling’er, let’s go."

After speaking coldly, Ning Fan was about to take Lin Xiaoling and the others to leave.

Suddenly, an authoritative voice came from outside the door.

"Who’s saying our River City Chamber of Commerce is too dirty?"

With that voice, a middle-aged man walked in, flanked by several attendants.

The sight instantly made Zhou Defa’s eyes shine, and his straight back suddenly bent as he scurried toward the middle-aged man. Stretching out his arms from afar in a fawning manner, he simpered, "Mayor Shen! What kind of wind blew you our way?"

The newcomer was none other than the Mayor of River City, Shen Weimin!

"Mayor?"

Pan Ting also brightened up at the prospect of such a dignitary.

What a golden opportunity—certainly not one to be wasted!

Pan Ting quickly lowered her neckline a bit and, following Zhou Defa, leaned forward and strode towards Shen Weimin. Wearing a pitiable expression, she cried out loudly,

"Little Pan Ting here begs Mayor Shen to seek justice for our Spirit Dissolving Alliance and for our River City Chamber of Commerce! This Ning Fan, he just insulted our Spirit Dissolving Alliance and the Chamber of Commerce. He’s slandering our entire River City! He’s completely disregarding you as the Mayor! Please, punish him severely!"

Wang Jiandong, who had been hiding in the crowd, was electrified by the development.

Everyone pushes a falling wall; everybody hits a drum that’s breaking!

This was the perfect opportunity for revenge for his son!

"Exactly, Mayor Shen! Everyone knows that our River City Chamber of Commerce was established under your leadership. Ning Fan’s talk of dirtiness is a veiled insult to you!"

With gritted teeth, Wang Jiandong squeezed through the crowd and ran toward Shen Weimin.

Shen Weimin, who had heard from outside that someone called the Chamber of Commerce dirty and had come in angry, caught sight of Ning Fan standing right in the midst of the crowd.

At once his expression changed, as his mind flashed back to the scene from just a few days ago in the Zhao Family of the Provincial City.

Seeing Zhou Defa, Pan Ting, and Wang Jiandong running up to him like three fawning dogs, bending and extending their hands for a handshake, Shen Weimin pushed them away and strode quickly to Ning Fan, taking three paces in two, right up to him.

Ning Fan glanced at Shen Weimin, recalling that he had indeed seen him at the Zhao Family that day.

"What? Don’t tell me you’re going to side with them against me?" Ning Fan spoke indifferently.

The words brought back Shen Weimin’s memory of Ning Fan’s similar words at the Zhao Family: "You wouldn’t be looking to avenge the Zhao Family, would you?"

He shuddered, filled with dread, and was about to speak.

But at the same time, the voices of Pan Ting and the others rose sharply.

"How dare you, Ning Fan! When you see Mayor Shen, you should show respect!"

"What’s with your attitude, Ning Fan? Apologize to Mayor Shen now!"

"Ning Fan, are you questioning Mayor Shen? Your arrogance! Your insolence!"

They shouted in unison.

"Shut up!"

Shen Weimin’s body shook as he bellowed angrily.

"Ning Fan, you shut up!"

"Shut your mouth, Ning!"

"If you speak again, Ning, I’ll tear up your mouth!"

Pan Ting and the others yelled again.

"I said I want you three idiots to shut up!"

The next second, Shen Weimin turned his head and roared in anger.
