"You, you, Liu Zhizhi has a capable child! You don't know how miraculous the effect of the medicine your child made is..."
Without waiting for Nuan's father to reply, Director Xu automatically started to flatter him, spewing out those words as if they were free. He made Nuan Bao, who was squatting under the shade of a tree and discussing the prescription with Old Man Qin, blush so much that the quick-drug medicine looked like it might bleed.
"Ahem, Director Xu, you said you wanted to buy the prescription from my kid, right?"
"Yes, yes, that's what I mean."
"Well, Director Xu, you misunderstood. It's true that the medicine was made by my child, but the prescription is not from our family. It's passed down from Mr. Qin's family."
Director Xu followed Nuan's father's gaze and looked at Mr. Qin, who had just stood up with an expressionless face.
Director Xu decisively gave up on Nuan Ba and strode up to Mr. Qin. After glancing at the patched clothes on the old man's body, he swept away his polite attitude towards Nuan Ba just now, and said to Mr. Qin in a condescending manner.
"Is the prescription yours?"
The old man didn't say anything, didn't even look at him, he just picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of digestive tea, and drank it in small sips.
Mr. Qin's disregarding attitude instantly made Director Xu's face turn unhappy.
"How about selling me the prescription for a few dollars? Don't be ungrateful. A few dollars is a lot of money. Many people have never seen a few dollars in their entire lives."
This damn factory manager is really thinking big by spending a few dollars to buy someone's ancestral prescription.
Nuan's father glared at his brother-in-law who brought the person into his home, and in return he received an innocent look from his brother-in-law.
Fourth Uncle really didn’t know that Director Xu had two faces.
Director Xu is a relative of the family that took Nuanbao's ginseng pills. The elderly father in the family also had heart problems and was thought to be waiting to die. Unexpectedly, after hearing about his family's situation, this family came to his house with medicine.
Director Xu didn't take it seriously at the time. He thought that the patient was almost dying, so he might as well give it a try.
During this trial, Director Xu witnessed a miracle. In just one week, his old father could actually walk around without getting out of breath with the help of someone.
Director Xu saw the business opportunity and immediately rushed to his relative's house.
He had originally thought he was just a peasant who could easily buy the prescription for a small sum of money. But he hadn't expected that he had the support of Director Shen from the town government. Even county officials would show him respect, so he, a small pharmaceutical factory manager, really didn't dare to offend Director Shen.
He could only ask relatives to act as lobbyists and found the Zhao family, which led to the scene where Director Xu flattered Nuan's father and tried to get close to him.
Director Xu was a man who always judged people by their appearance. Seeing that Old Man Qin's clothes were so shabby, he subconsciously thought of him as a poor relative who came to the Liu family to beg for money. When he spoke to him, he unconsciously brought out his usual condescending tone.
After the Qin family suffered such a disaster, Old Master Qin had no strong attachment to the prescription. He thought that if he gave it to the pharmaceutical factory and let them make the medicine to save more people, it would be considered a good deed. However, the factory director's behavior made Old Master Qin change his mind instantly.
"Please go back! The old man won't sell the prescription!"
Director Xu was stunned when he saw the old man's firm attitude. When he realized that he was rejected, his face immediately became hideous.
"Old man, don't be ungrateful! Do you know who I am? Let me tell you, our pharmaceutical factory has been cooperating with the military for many years. The military leaders have always praised our pharmaceutical factory. If the military leaders find out that you are secretly hoarding this life-saving prescription and refusing to give it to them, you will bring disaster upon yourself."
Seeing that Director Xu was getting more and more out of control and finally starting to threaten and intimidate, the faces of the people in the yard turned ugly. Especially the grandmother who had been paying attention to this place, she was so angry that she picked up a broom and smashed it on Director Xu's head.
