This is a branch of Gold Smith. Its main business is to sell its own nutritional supplements to local wealthy people. Of course, this is not the headquarters and no goods are produced here. All goods are produced from the headquarters and shipped here for sale.

GoldS.mith's products are relatively expensive, but many people buy them. Firstly, this is because they have hired many senior experts to customize several expensive products for them. Secondly, they have opened many senior nutritionist institutions to provide nutrition planning services for the rich and recommend various nutritional products of GoldS.mith to customers.

In fact, nutritional supplements are nothing more than a kind of tonic that supplements the nutrients needed by the human body. Even if you use all kinds of tricks and add a lot of rare medicinal materials, the nutrients that the human body can absorb are only a little bit. The main reason why they sell so well is due to the efforts of well-trained nutritionists.

Of course, ordinary people are also the target audience of Gold Smith. The things sold to them will be more fancy, but the effect will be average. However, this is the general environment in the market now, and people don’t know much about it. Just because it looks like a big brand, they will buy it.

For example, if someone is deficient in Vitamin C, they could easily buy a 100-tablet bottle for a few yuan. But when they go to the pharmacy, the clerk recommends a variety of Vitamin C lozenges: orange-flavored, blueberry-flavored, colorful, and cream-yellow. The packaging is beautiful, and the colors and shapes are appealing. They're a bit pricey, though: 50 yuan for a bottle of 40 tablets. They look really good to them, and it doesn't seem that expensive. And there's a familiar brand name. Don't pick it, just this one. A big company wouldn't cheat.

GoldSmith not only has these small things, but also many high-end supplements that are highly praised and are also very popular.

In this way, GoldS.mith, which is very good at marketing, can make a lot of money in the country.

Gou Wen's success in China was also due to the family he married later. His wife's surname was Smith. Although Gou Wen went abroad to develop because of the poor domestic environment, he had a hard time developing abroad at the beginning. It took him more than ten years of hard work to gain some status. Later, he met a lady from the Smith family. The two lived together for a few years before Gou Wen married this lady and later had children. So when Gou Wen returned to China to develop his career, his children were not yet adults and were much younger than his eldest grandson Liu Ben.

"I just looked at your financial statements and purchase orders for this month. Why is the sales volume of high-end nutritional products decreasing?" Gou Wen on the big screen asked seriously.

Gou Qi was wearing a suit today, his hands clasped together nervously on his thighs. Zhu Qian was the same, standing nervously one step behind Gou Qi with a stack of documents in her hand. She had rarely taken off her jewelry, and the atmosphere was quite depressing.

"It's like this," Gou Qi explained hurriedly. "Since this month, some customers have asked our nutritionists to cancel their subscriptions to certain nutritional supplements. I've carefully reviewed the statistics and it's not all the same products; the categories are quite diverse. The reason for the cancellations is simply that they no longer need them. There's nothing wrong with our products; this is probably just a one-off incident."

"Can you call this an isolated incident?" Gou Wen's expression worsened. "First, it didn't start this month; we saw signs of this at the end of last month. Second, it's not that the product categories are too diverse. They first started reducing the number of beauty products targeted at women, then the hair-nourishing products, and then the calcium supplements and bone-activating products..."

Gou Qi broke into a sweat after hearing this. He had heard these things from his subordinates as well, but he didn't pay much attention to them at the time. He had rushed to the meeting without any preparation and had forgotten all about them. He didn't expect his father to point them out to him.

"Although the total amount of change is not large and does not affect our entire company, you should still find out the reason immediately instead of telling me that it is 'probably' a random incident!"

"I'm sorry, Chairman!" Gou Qi bowed repeatedly to apologize. Although Gou Wen was his father, he and Gou Wen had been separated for many years. Even if they recognized each other now, they were not very close.

At this time, Liu Ben was sitting quietly in the stairwell. He had just overheard people in the secretariat chatting about Gou Qi and Zhu Qian having a meeting with the chairman in the conference room on the 5th floor. Now he was going to wait on this floor, waiting to go downstairs with Gou Qi and Zhu Qian.

"In short, I didn't let you be the head of the branch just to eat for free!"

Gou Wen was still scolding when someone knocked gently on the door behind him. The strength of the knock was well controlled, not so light that Gou Wen could not hear it, nor so heavy that it would scare people.

Gou Wen said, "Come in!" and the door behind him opened. A mixed-race girl who looked like a teenager popped her head out and smiled sweetly at him. "Daddy, it's already late. If you don't go to bed, you'll get wrinkles!"

Gou Wen's serious expression relaxed a little, and his voice softened a little: "I'll go to sleep right away."

When Gou Wen looked back at Gou Qi, his expression became even more stern, but he didn't say much. He just gave him a few words of instruction and then hung up the video call.

Gou Qi breathed a sigh of relief, but also had some complaints. His father was strict with him, but kind to his younger siblings. He was really biased.

Gou Qi looked at Zhu Qian and said, "Let's go."

Zhu Qian took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off her face as she walked out: "Father is really scary. You have to pay more attention to your work in the future."

Gou Qi was in a bad mood: "Do I need you to talk after the fact?"

The two walked out of the conference room and seemed to be heading towards the elevator.

Liu Ben, who was hiding in the stairwell, saw this and hurried downstairs. Most people couldn't outrun an elevator, but Liu Ben was different. Even on the fifth floor, he was still quite capable of running, especially since the meeting room was quite far from the elevator.

Liu Ben ran to the underground parking lot in one breath, and then looked at the elevator number display above, which showed that it was still on the 5th floor and was moving down.

Liu Ben felt relieved and took this opportunity to take a look around the underground parking lot. There were only two surveillance cameras, so there were still many blind spots.

Gou Qi and Zhu Qian reached the basement level. Zhu Qian walked out while complaining, "It's been a month already. That bastard shouldn't bother us anymore, right? It's really troublesome to go out with so many bodyguards."

She and Gou Qi now each have two bodyguards following them, and they attract attention wherever they go.

Gou Qi glanced at her: "What? Are you doing something shameful?"

"What are you talking about? There's nothing shameful about me, but when I got together with some sisters, the old man mocked me for being pretentious. I was so angry." Zhu Qian rolled her eyes.

"They thought, 'We haven't got this blessing yet.'"

"Haha, that's true." Zhu Qian was proud again at this time, and talked excitedly about some of the information she had gained from chatting with other ladies during this period.

The two men talked as they walked without noticing that one of their bodyguards was missing.

Another bodyguard who was walking side by side turned around and found that the bodyguard next to him was missing. Just as he was about to report it, he was suddenly strangled by the neck and lifted to the side in the air. He was a little shocked. After all, he was tall and strong and weighed more than 180 pounds. What kind of person could lift him up? He wanted to resist at first, but the other party was faster than him. He only felt a headache, his eyes went black, and he lost consciousness.

The bodyguards were very alert. If the footsteps around them or behind them decreased, they would definitely notice within seconds. Therefore, Liu Ben had to seize the first opportunity and quickly and accurately eliminate the bodyguards. Of course, Liu Ben did not kill them, but simply knocked them out. Liu Ben had lived in the dangerous orc wilderness. With his strength and agility, he could beat down a group of wild boars in half a minute, let alone four human bodyguards.

Gou Qi and Zhu Qian had only walked about ten steps forward when the place behind them was already empty.

Before they stopped talking and noticed anything was wrong, Liu Ben swept his leg and the two men fell down.

Gou Qi looked closely and saw a man wearing a hat, mask and sunglasses standing in front of them, and all the bodyguards behind him were gone.

Zhu Qian just screamed "bodyguard" when Liu Ben interrupted her spell with a punch.

What happened in the next minute was a barrage of blows, a horrific sight, a tsunami of blood, a thud of blood, a howling of tears...

Before the parking lot security guard noticed, Liu Ben shook his head handsomely and slipped away.

Only Gou Qi, Zhu Qian and their bodyguards were left lying on the ground. Gou Qi, in particular, had his face swollen like a real pig's head.

I have to say, this might be his unluckiest night this year.

Liu Ben was already running back down the road, asking the system as he ran, "How much scumbag abuse value did you get?"

[Let this system take a look. Average meow, you got 282 points. Beating the host's scumbag father and stepmother gave you 100 points, and beating the four bodyguards gave you 50 points. Because they're not scumbags, I gave them to you reluctantly. Next time you beat them, it won't count!]

[Achieve the achievements "Flathead" and "Assassin", and gain 66*2=132 Trash Points~]

[The current host has a scum abuse value of 794, and a cumulative scum abuse value of 2194]

[To seek revenge, the host went through great pains, traveling several kilometers, changing cover several times without a care in the world, and even avoiding surveillance. This kind of persistent vengeance is very much like the spirit of a honey badger, meow!]

Liu Ben: "...I just think fighting is fun, I don't hold a grudge. I'm usually a very generous person."

[The system pretended to believe it]

Liu Ben complained, "It wasn't particularly satisfying, actually. They were too weak to fight, and it wasn't satisfying at all."

I really miss my daily activities of fighting wild beasts in the orc wilderness.

[Host still wants to fight meow? ]

"Yes."

【Then the host may have another chance, meow.】

"Huh? What do you mean?" Liu Ben was confused. He had already returned to the public restroom near Aben's produce store. He entered the cubicle and quickly changed his clothes. As he did so, he asked, "Tell me!"

【You’ll know when you get out, meow!】

After Liu Ben changed his clothes and left the public toilet, he headed towards his shop.

Before he even got there, Liu Ben saw someone squatting in front of Aben's agricultural product store, doing something unknown.

Liu Ben was startled and immediately stepped back and hid.

A closer look revealed a few people at the door, with two motorcycles nearby. One person was fiddling with the lock on his shop's rolling door, while the others stood nearby, seemingly keeping watch. These people didn't appear to be very old.

Could this be... the group of people who robbed the convenience store a while ago?

The author has something to say:

Liu Ben: They won't come to the same street twice

System: [Papa!] (This is the sound of a slap in the face)

Liu Ben: ...

Thank you to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution for me~

The ferocious white goose irrigated 20 bottles of milkヽ(≧へ)

This id reminds me of the mischievous goose, hehehe~
