Chapter 573 - Jin Yitang (2/2)
Su Li seemed relieved when she heard the answer and changed the topic. “I assume you are fully aware of Luo Workshop’s situation, right?” she casually asked.
Xiao Luo smiled and replied, “Yup, it’s crumbling under your Sumir.”
“Zhang Dashan is your close friend. Aren’t you affected?” she queried.
Su Li was still cold. But her beauty was perfect, even when she did not show any emotion. “If you plead for mercy for him, I can consider collaborating with Luo Workshop and share Xiahai’s market,” she offered.
It was truly unexpected, and Xiao Luo stared at this woman.
Su Li evaded his eyes. “Do not misunderstand my intention. We are husband and wife nominally, and since Luo Workshop belongs to your friend, I should not be completely merciless for your sake,” she explained.
“I see.”
Xiao Luo smiled and responded, “I will tell him this. However, the battle is not over yet. We won’t know the outcome until the very last moment, and I hope you won’t let your guard down.”
“Both Huayao Corporation and Renhe Medicines are already collaborating to put a squeeze on Luo Workshop’s key health product. With sis’s influence, there’s no way that Luo Workshop can turn the tide around.” Luo Pingxiang pitched in.
“Who knows?”
Xiao Luo let out a mysterious smile and continued to eat his breakfast.
Su Li stared at him, feeling that something was amiss.

Shortly afterward, a Chinese medicine hall named Jin Yitang entered the Xiahai market with an important announcement. A patient diagnosed with terminal stage cancer by a western medical institution was cured by Jin Yitang. When this news spread, Jin Yitang became famous all over the entire Hua nation.
More patients started to turn to Jin Yitang for medical treatment. This development created a market frenzy with more stories of medical miracles.
“F*ck, Jin Yitang is miraculous! They can even cure a crippled person!” remarked a consumer.
“Cervical Spondylosis, which is common among the elderly, can be completely cured within half a month. Oh, my God, now I can even lift things I couldn’t before!” declared an elderly patient.
“Jin Yitang has cured another case of senile dementia! Oh, God, are the doctors there the descendent of Huatuo? Their skills are divine,” asked a member of the public.
“Is Chinese medicine finally rising in reckoning again? Is this happening? World, behold!!” exclaimed an excited bystander who had heard these stories.
After Jin Yitang had cured one incurable disease after another, its fame spread throughout the Xiahai district. The daily lines of queues for consultation at Jin Yitang were as crazy as the queues for the train tickets by passengers who wanted to travel back to their hometowns for the Chinese New Year celebration. Countless patients flocked to the clinics and had to queue outside the buildings.
Due to the superior quality and the effectiveness of Jin Yitang’s Chinese medicine, Huayao Corporation and Renhe Medicines saw their pharmaceutical sales plunge significantly. If one had any illness or felt unwell, all one needed to do was buy customized Chinese medicine packets from Jin Yitang. It would not take more than a few servings for the person to recover. Even with chronic diseases such as diabetes, Jin Yitang could cure them at a slightly higher price of five thousand dollars. As a result, both Huayao Corporation and Renhe Medicines were facing a tough and unprecedented challenge to their positions as the biggest Western medicine producers in Hua nation.
This challenge affected their pharmaceutical business as well as the hospitals that were also under their umbrella. The hospitals faced losses as patients now preferred to patronize Jin Yitang for any non-critical ailments. Unless it was an emergency where they needed a western-trained doctor to resuscitate life from the brink of death, Jin yitang became their preferred choice.
