Chapter 577 - Make An Apointment to Meet (2/2)

Xiao Ruyi stopped her nonsense, turned around, and said to Xiao Luo, “Oh, right brother, the CEOs of Huayao Group and Renhe Medicines were here earlier on.”

Xiao Luo laughed and replied, “As expected.”

He opened Jin Yitang Clinic so he could push back against the offensive mounted by Huayao Group and Renhe Medicines. Since this clinic posed a threat to both of them, there was no way they wouldn’t come to take a look and find out what was going on.

“You didn’t do anything to them, right?”

Xiao Luo was worried that Xiao Ruyi might do something to them since the “nine needles” that he had imparted to her could heal and harm.

“No, I even treated the chronic pains that they’ve been experienced on their bodies for several years. I only knew that they were from Huayao Group and Renhe Medicines much later, so I chased them out as soon as I found that out.”

Xiao Ruyi was fuming and said, “If I knew who they were right from the start, I would have given them a good treatment for sure. To think that they had the nerves to bully you just because they’re from bigger companies, huh!”

Xiao Luo chuckled. “Alright, stop being childish. What do you mean by ‘bully?’ I don’t feel that way at all.”

…

Half a month later, Jin Yitang Clinic was right at the top. Everyone in Xiahai knew or had at least heard about them. Thanks to extensive media coverage, everyone in the country knew that Jin Yitang Clinic, a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, had successfully treated terminally ill cancer patients. The number of the rich and famous who came to the clinic each day was beyond counting.

Thanks to the influence of Jin Yitang, most people chose to spend at Luo Workshop instead of Sumir. People believed in celebrity endorsements, but it could not compare to a doctor who could treat incurable diseases. In the face of health and wellness, the celebrity effect had a much lesser effect, especially when Jin Yitang publicized the news that Luo Workshop belonged to the same organization as them. The pavements outside of Luo Workshop outlets became as busy as a marketplace. Their daily sales reached an unprecedented height and continued to rise daily.

Belonging to the same organization as Jin Yitang Clinic– what does this mean?

It meant that Luo Workshop’s pastry and bread was of good quality, and who knew there might be some traditional medicine inside their pastries. Consumers naturally connected the dotted lines and assumed that they had the chance to live much longer if they consumed those pastries.

Chai Zhiying was panicking.

Although she hid it well, Su Li was more or less shaking a little. What Luo Workshop had done far exceeded her expectations. No one could have predicted that Jin Yitang would pop up all of a sudden. The clinic had also caused Shen Qingyan and Cai Renhe to experience a kind of panic that they had never experienced before, and had a direct and tangible effect on Luo Workshop being able to suppress her Sumir operations.

“Li Li, our Sumir has been making a loss for a while now. If things continue as they are, by the mid of next month, our losses will exceed more than ten million dollars,” Chai Zhiying said, looking like a defeated rooster. She had already admitted defeat to the boss of Luo Workshop who was way too formidable. With one Jin Yitang Clinic alone, he shook the two largest drug manufacturers in Xiahai, making them tremble in fear, and causing their Sumir to be in a complete mess.

“Ten million? That much?”

Su Li furrowed her brows. Ten million might not be a lot to her, but the implications of what was to come were horrifying.

“Shop rental, employees’ salaries, utility bills, cost of raw materials, and much more. While Sumir is not making any profit at all, we still have to pay for all of that. The finance department has already come up with a detailed report,” Chai Zhiying lamented, taking out a document from her bag and handed it over to Su Li.

Su Li glanced through the report and detected nothing wrong with the calculations. Sumir was indeed making a loss of roughly two hundred thousand dollars daily.

After closing the document, she said, “Arrange for me to meet the boss of Luo Workshop!”

“Hmm, alright.”

Chai Zhiying nodded her head and didn’t seem to have any objections. The only way out for Sumir right now was to work with Luo Workshop.
