Xu Nuonuo, a pampered young lady, transmigrated into an era novel as the vicious younger sister of the female lead, destined to become a stepping stone on the protagonists' path to love. She de...
Chen Feng's expression was somewhat unpleasant, and she remained silent.
The other party hired her to act, but only told her how to do it and how to act. They didn't tell her everything, such as the raw materials. Chen Feng was completely kept in the dark.
She was secretly pleased with herself, thinking that if she memorized all the ingredients, it would be the same as knowing the recipe, and she could make it just the same way when she got back.
Unexpectedly, there was a hidden trick in the raw materials, and these people caught them red-handed.
I'm truly at a loss for words now.
But Chen Feng wasn't stupid.
She sneered, "Making this herbal tea seems simple, but it actually takes a lot of thought and effort. I can only make it once a day. Besides, even if the raw materials have the flavor of herbal tea, it's because I steeped them in herbal tea."
She meant that since she had already made the herbal tea, Xu Nuo and the others should keep their promise instead of making things difficult for her again and again.
Lin Xiaofeng laughed: "But you just said that these are just ordinary medicinal herbs. How come they are soaked now? What we need is for you to make the herbal tea on the spot. That way you can prove that you know the prescription, instead of just mixing the finished product randomly. If that's the case, everyone here can buy any herbs from Nuomei and say that they can make herbal tea."
That's not wrong.
But the public always prioritizes sympathizing with the weak, and at this moment, most people are still speaking up for Chen Feng.
Hearing that everyone still favored her, Chen Feng suddenly felt emboldened and prepared to shed a few tears to divert attention.
Before she could even hold back her tears, she heard a voice in her ear.
“Officers, it’s good that you’re here. I need to report a crime. This Comrade Chen Feng not only made false accusations, but she also participated in the theft and stole our Nuomei products.”
Chen Feng was immediately shocked: "What did you say? What nonsense are you talking about? Even the boss of your Nuomei is too guilty to speak. What business is it of yours?"
Chen Feng was so angry at this brat that she couldn't hold back her tears anymore.
Xu Nuo smiled slyly and said loudly, "You're saying she copied your prescription?"
"Of course it's her. Xu Nuo copied my prescription and is now living a happy life, starting a company and making so much money."
Xu Nuo shook her head and sighed, "So you came here to act in my show just to get money?"
Chen Feng's face was serious: "You're talking nonsense. I didn't come for the money. I'm just angry."
"Old Chinese medicine doctor, if we, Nuomei, compensate you with 50,000 yuan, plus a house in Zhongxu Garden, will this matter be settled?"
Fifty thousand yuan?
An apartment in Zhongxu Jiayuan.
Everyone was stunned, and even Chen Feng was too excited to speak.
Why did she go through all that trouble to act in this play? Wasn't it just for the money? But the money the other party promised her wasn't even a fraction of what Nuomei had given her.
Is she stupid for refusing?
The group of people who had been shouting for Zhong Xu to pay them back were so shocked when they heard the amount that their jaws nearly dropped.
I was so envious and jealous that I almost fainted. That's money that many people could never see in several lifetimes.
Just moments ago, she was about to report her to the authorities for theft and slander, but now she's preparing to bribe her to keep quiet. Chen Feng figured she must be scared. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was so happy about the windfall that she couldn't help but smile.
Fortunately, she was still rational. She pretended to think for a moment and nodded: "Okay, as long as you give me compensation, I am willing to reconcile with you."
Everyone thought the matter was over, but the girl who had just offered to compensate them suddenly changed her tune: "But we don't want to settle with you, Chen Feng. You're only here for money. You've put on a show, claiming the prescription is yours, but you've mixed the finished product together for everyone to drink. Is that what you call self-proof?"
Before Chen Feng could speak, Xu Nuo turned to the group and said, “Comrades, I know you are all kind-hearted people with chivalrous hearts, which is why you braved this scorching sun to try to uphold justice for this comrade. But she has really trampled on your good intentions. You have all tasted it just now. Does Chen Feng’s version taste the same as the original?”
By now, everyone knew who to believe. Now, being stared at by such a delicate beauty as Xu Nuo, they nodded blankly: "Yes, yes, she didn't make any herbal tea at all. She just stirred the raw materials together. The good stuff is all in the raw materials."
Chen Feng, her eyes red, cried bitterly, "I'm innocent! I'm truly innocent! Young man, you're one of them, you must be one of them to speak up for them like this."
Xu Nuo looked at the police officer: "Officer, what do you say?"
Chen Feng cried, "Officer, you must do justice for me!"
"We will not comment on your affairs, but the raw materials are indeed not ordinary medicinal herbs."
Chen Fengshui: "That's because I came early..."
Xu Nuo interrupted, "Alright, you're here to cause trouble at Nuomei at someone's behest, aren't you? But your employer is too careless; they didn't even tell you who you're trying to frame?"
Chen Feng said firmly, "I was either asked to do it by someone else, or she copied my prescription."
Xu Nuo smiled and said, "But she is not Xu Nuo."
Chen Feng was stunned, thinking that she had mistaken someone else for someone else. She quickly thought of a solution: "Anyway, she is the one who copied my prescription. She lied to me and said her name was Xu Nuo."
"lie."
Xu Yan stood up and walked up to Chen Feng: "I could not possibly copy your prescription."
Chen Feng, in a fit of desperation, said, "It's you! You said your name is Xu Nuo, and you're a freshman at Shanghai University."
Xu Nuo gave a sarcastic laugh: "They really won't shed a tear until they see the coffin."
She pointed at Xu Yan: "Her name is Xu Yan. She is an educated youth sent to the countryside from Luxian Village. She only received the state-approved report for returning to her hometown on October 3rd. She only arrived in Shanghai a few days ago. Officers, you can check her train ticket and her record of being sent to the countryside from Luxian Village. Before receiving the report for returning to her hometown, she stayed in Luxian Village. How could she possibly have come to Shanghai to copy someone's prescription?"
Chen Feng secretly pinched her palm: "Impossible, you're lying. She's the one who copied my prescription. She has fair skin and no sunspots on her face. Tell me, is it possible for a rural laborer to look like that?"
Chen Feng was certain that Xu Nuo was bluffing her; Xu Yan clearly wasn't someone who had taken exams in the fields.
Xu Nuo covered her mouth and laughed: "Chen Feng, this is all thanks to the moisturizing oil and herbal tea. You said you made the herbal tea and moisturizing oil, so you should have no shortage of resources. How come your face is covered with sunspots and your complexion is so bad?"
"I...I..." Chen Feng was sweating profusely, how could she possibly answer that?
She had never even seen or used those moisturizing oils and herbal teas before.
