145 Bicycle (1/2)

In the evening, when Ren Xiaosu led Yan Liuyuan and Wang Dalong back to the shop, he realized that something was off. Why were there so many people at the shop?

After they took over the running of the shop, they had informed a lot of those who came to see the doctor that the shop would not be doing any more consultations in the future. As such, the popularity of the shop died down very quickly. For the past few days, he and Old Wang still hadn't decided about what to do with the shop.

As Ren Xiaosu walked in, he noticed people crowding around Wang Fugui. Wang Fugui was explaining something to them.

”Boss, you're finally back!” Wang Fugui's eyes gleamed when he saw Ren Xiaosu.

”Um, why are there so many people here?” Ren Xiaosu asked.

Wang Fugui pulled Ren Xiaosu aside and whispered, ”Didn't we sell off one dosage of the black medicine the day before yesterday? As a result, people have already started finding their way here.”

”That can happen?” Ren Xiaosu was a little confused.

”Men always openly share such things over a meal.” Wang Fugui smiled and said, ”All you young men have such high libidos, you don't understand the pain of the middle-aged and older men. They're all in the same boat! Besides, our black medicine does not have any side effects after taking it. That makes it so much better than the other medicines out there.”

”But we still can't sell too much of it.” Ren Xiaosu rejected the idea and said, ”Tell them that only one dosage will be sold per week. We can't sell any more than that.”

Seeing that a great business opportunity couldn't be completed, Wang Fugui was upset. If Ren Xiaosu could give him more of the black medicine, he would guarantee their shop would become the largest healthcare product store in the stronghold.

What sort of a concept was it to monopolize the healthcare products industry in a stronghold?

But since Ren Xiaosu said no, there was nothing that he could do about it. Wang Fugui explained to the customers that if they wanted to buy the black medicine, they would have to wait until next week.

Suddenly, a customer said, ”I'll pay 800 yuan to reserve next week's medicine. Keep it for me until you have it ready!”

Wang Fugui's eyes lit up. They could even do that?

Even as a shrewd businessman, Wang Fugui did not realize there would be such a strong demand for the black medicine from these middle-aged men in the stronghold!

When the others heard someone offer 200 additional yuan to make a reservation, their interest immediately subsided. Although they wanted to buy it, they didn't want to be a sucker just to get it. So after the person who made the reservation paid the deposit, the others quickly dispersed.

Then from nearby Yan Liuyuan said, ”We can't use that kind of simple porcelain vial anymore. We've got to hold the black medicine in the best container so that it'll create hype! The more mysterious-looking this black medicine is, the better!”

”Liuyuan is so smart!” Wang Fugui said excitedly, ”We probably won't need to sell anything else in the future. One dosage of the black medicine per person will be enough to make us rich!” Wang Fugui seemed to have sensed a great business opportunity.

”OK.” Ren Xiaosu nodded. ”Do as you deem fit. I don't know anything about doing business anyway. By the way, where's Chen Wudi?”

”He headed out as soon as y'all went to school.” Wang Fugui said, ”I don't know where he went, but I couldn't locate him. Don't worry, though, he'll definitely be back when it's mealtime. He's extremely punctual….”

Ren Xiaosu was stunned. ”He only remembers when it's time to eat?”

Wang Fugui hesitated for a moment before saying, ”It's not that. He doesn't come back because he wants to eat.”

Ren Xiaosu was confused. ”Didn't you just say that he'll definitely be back when it's time to eat? If it isn't to eat, why else would he be coming back?”

A next moment later, Chen Wudi walked in from the outside with his arms full. Wang Fugui looked at the figure of Chen Wudi in a daze and said, ”To bring us food…”

He heard Chen Wudi shout at the top of his voice, ”Master, I'm back from alms begging.”

Ren Xiaosu was speechless. Ren Xiaosu saw a big bundle of food in his arms that included buns, Chinese burritos, and even a small bag of pickles. There was quite a large variety of food.

But what Ren Xiaosu could not figure out was just how deeply immersed Chen Wudi was into his character.

When Chen Wudi shoved all the food into Ren Xiaosu's arms, Ren Xiaosu was dumbfounded. ”Where did you get so much food from?”
