Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

Chapter 77 Cause and Countermeasure

"Can't sell them? That's impossible!" Xia Liu hadn't had a chance to retort when the phone on the table rang.

It was Liu Lanxin calling, "Xia Liu, we might lose money on this. The advertisements have gone out, but they haven't had any effect."

"Not even a single box?" Xia Liu asked weakly.

"Not even one."

With the final response, Xia Liu's cheeks twitched slightly, thinking what a mess this all was.

Beauty Mud, such a miraculous product, was bound to cause a frenzy once promoted.

Yet now, not even a single box had sold.

Even if only one box were sold, once someone used it, it would have a powerful effect.

"Actually, there are two reasons why they haven't sold," Fang Fei suddenly said when Xia Liu was feeling helpless.

"Oh? Please, Sister Fang, go on."

"First, Tianluo Pharmaceutical started with traditional Chinese medicine, making it difficult to promote a product like Beauty Mud. Besides, even if a few women buy a few boxes, the sales volume won't increase, especially since wealthy women don't like others to look prettier than them."

Hearing this, Xia Liu had an epiphany.

Yes, those who can afford Beauty Mud are definitely wealthy.

And wealthy women, knowing the value of Beauty Mud, would definitely hoard it because they wouldn't want other women to look better than themselves, to be greater than themselves.

"What's the second reason?" The first point made sense upon reflection and seemed easy to tackle, but the second point Fang Fei mentioned was worth examining.

"It's that someone has been spreading negative news about Tianluo Pharmaceutical, particularly about Beauty Mud." Fang Fei paused, her expression slowly becoming more grave.

"Is it the pharmaceutical companies that bid against Tianluo Pharmaceutical this time?"

"You could say that, but more precisely, it's someone we have all met."

"Liu Mang?" Xia Liu immediately thought of that arrogant fellow.

Fang Fei didn't speak, just nodded slightly with a smile. She had reservations about discussing these matters, but since it was Xia Liu, she didn't want to hide them.

"Liu Pharmaceutical, very well, very well," Xia Liu was quite angry. He hadn't thought that he would cross paths with Liu Mang again.

He hadn't expected that Liu Mang would come to him, and if it weren't for the need for a large sum of money to keep his project going, Xia Liu really wouldn't want to have any dealing with him.

"Xia Liu, don't be impulsive. Liu Pharmaceutical has a strong foundation in Binlai City, and there's word on the street that Liu Mang is closely connected to some local gangs," Fang Fei cautioned.

Fang Fei regretted her words as soon as she saw the scenario she feared the most unfolding. If only she had known how impulsive Xia Liu could be, she might not have revealed the mastermind behind the scenes.

It was like pushing him into an abyss. Against Liu Pharmaceutical, plus a second-tier gang, how could Xia Liu possibly gain an upper hand?

"You don't need to worry, Sister Fang, I won't act unless I'm absolutely sure," Xia Liu responded with a light smile, sensing from Fang Fei's words that she truly cared about him.

"Actually, there's a way to succeed without any conflict."

"Oh? You're not going to take action, are you?" Xia Liu's face was full of shock, not knowing her background, but judging by her holdings in Hejing County, her connections were certainly not weak.

"Are you kidding? I'm just a weak girl, how could I take action?" Fang Fei said, her eyes shimmering with vulnerability.

...

"Actually, Binlai City will hold a charity auction the day after tomorrow. Entrepreneurs of certain standing will donate items for the auction, and the proceeds will be donated to the Hope Project."

"So you mean that Tianluo Pharmaceutical will auction the beauty mud and then have someone use it at the event and finally win the approval of all the big shots?"

"Smart thinking, I just can't resist the urge to spoil you."

"Sister Fang, if you keep this up, I might just strip." Xia Liu cast a blatant glance at Fang Fei, having made up his mind that if Fang Fei dared say another word, he would absolutely pounce on her.

Fortunately, Fang Fei stopped just in time, sipping lightly on her weak tea before chatting with Xia Liu about Osmanthus Chicken and oysters.

Leaving the Longyun Hotel it was already past five in the afternoon, Xia Liu called Zhang Xiaoxue to brief her on the situation before driving towards the city.

The charity auction still required a discussion with Liu Lanxin to make sure, just in case Tianluo Pharmaceutical had prepared other products for the auction, which would be embarrassing.

Unfortunately, after Xia Liu arrived in Binlai City, he couldn't get through to Liu Lanxin; her phone was switched off.

Having no other options, Xia Liu followed a route he remembered in his mind to the sales point where he had delivered goods before.

After asking a salesperson, he finally discovered Liu Lanxin's exact location.

The Liu Family, as a notable enterprise in Binlai City, lived in a villa area by the sea.

If you want to enter the Liu family's residence, having a BMW X6 isn't enough without someone to introduce you, the only other option is to scale the wall.

Using his keen senses, Xia Liu spent ten minutes and finally spotted Liu Lanxin.

Beneath the night sky, the atmosphere inside the Liu family's villa area was especially quiet.

Inside a large conference room, Liu Lanxin was facing more than a dozen people by herself, both old and young; in any case, everyone was blaming her.

"Lan Xin, I must say I admire you. You said you would enjoy yourself in Hejing County and not interfere with the bidding, but then you disrupted it, and now Tianluo Pharmaceutical is labeled as deceitful."

The speaker was a young man in his twenties, dressed in a white suit, his hair slick and shiny, and with his somewhat bulky body, he looked like a greasy peach.

"Liu Chen, hold your tongue. No matter what, Lan Xin is your sister. Even if she has made mistakes, she deserves forgiveness," Liu Yanzhi spoke up, which only implicated Liu Lanxin further.

He was Liu Chen's father. To maximize the benefits for his son, he needed to seize every opportunity while he still had the strength.

"Uncle, the effects of the beauty mud are very apparent. All the uncles and aunts present here, please have a look; I only used the beauty mud a few days ago." Unwilling to allow the beauty mud to be questioned, Liu Lanxin boldly tilted her face up, just hoping her elders would trust her this time.

"Oh, cut it out. If the wind blows, I'm really afraid a faceful of soot will get in my eyes," Liu Chen coldly eyed Liu Lanxin and said.

Hehehe…

Hehe…

As soon as Liu Chen spoke, everyone sitting in the hall burst out laughing, as they all knew Liu Lanxin very well.

This girl almost turned Binlai City upside down; she went to cool off for two months and came back with something called beauty mud, as if running a family business was a child's play.

"Enough! Now that the company is in trouble, instead of trying to find a solution, you sit here mocking Lan Xin. Do you even have the right?" Just when everyone was ridiculing Liu Lanxin, an old yet forceful voice reverberated through the hall.

"Grandfather, they don't believe me, but this beauty mud will certainly help us win the bid and make money," seeing Liu Buyi arrive, Liu Lanxin stepped forward with a tearful voice and took his hand.
