Chapter 178: Taking Advantage of the Situation
Nine o'clock in the morning is the agreed time for signing the contract.
Previously, Meng Shuyue and Song Shijing inspected and tried out several pharmaceutical equipment from this foreign company, which were more in line with the compressed manufacturing process of traditional Chinese medicine, but one of the equipment did not meet the expectation of slowly boiling traditional Chinese medicine.
Although it was not as she expected, Meng Shuyue still decided to buy the equipment.
After all, the perfect equipment as she imagined could only be customized.
This batch of equipment is her best and only choice now.
Early in the morning, she brought Song Shijing to the company to sign the contract and pay the deposit.
As long as the factory is built, this batch of equipment will be almost produced and transported, and can enter the production stage as soon as possible.
But who would have thought that Meng Shuyue and Song Shijing waited in the lobby on the first floor of the foreign company until eleven o'clock, but did not see David, her domestic agent, with whom she had a pleasant conversation in advance, show up.
Until it’s almost time to get off work.
She and Song Shijing received an unexpected reply: the cooperation was cancelled and the batch of equipment would not be sold.
The two were kicked out of the building.
Meng Shuyue was completely confused and couldn't figure out the reason.
They waited in a small restaurant opposite the company and finally saw David coming out.
Meng Shuyue was about to step forward to ask the reason, but he saw Chu Yanyan walking next to David, and suddenly understood everything.
Song Shijing was so angry when he saw Chu Yanyan that he went up to her angrily to question her, but was grabbed by Meng Shuyue, who turned around and left.
Meng Shuyue originally thought that after Bai Qingfeng heard Chu Yanyan's words about her fake identity in the recorder, he would immediately throw Chu Yanyan out or even take revenge on her.
But he didn't. Not only did he not drive her away, he also allowed her to act recklessly and oppress others under the banner of the Bai family.
In the next few days, Meng Shuyue and Song Shijing compared the equipment and prices of the remaining companies. Finally, they secretly went to the company where Shen Jinxiao worked to check the equipment, but they were not satisfied with any of them.
Either the price was too high or the equipment did not meet her pharmaceutical requirements.
A week passed quickly.
The purchase of equipment has not been going smoothly, and Meng Shuyue has been busy running around.
Early in the morning, Song Shijing, who had taken time off to get information, came over anxiously and told her the situation, "It's not good. Last time you gave the medicine to that woman, she spread the word everywhere. Not only did her cough not get better, it got worse. Now she's spreading the news in the village in the city. You have to go and see her quickly, otherwise it's going to be troublesome."
He originally thought that Meng Shuyue would be shocked and at a loss after he finished speaking.
But unexpectedly, Meng Shuyue accepted the news as if he was not surprised. He just smiled faintly and went to the village in the city calmly.
Standing among a group of middle-aged women who loved to eat sunflower seeds, the old lady complained that the cough syrup Meng Shuyue gave her was useless while she was coughing madly, as if she had to vomit out bile before she could stop coughing.
Meng Shuyue looked at the old lady's condition and found it was indeed more serious than before.
She pushed her way through the crowd and went in.
When the old lady saw her, she spat out blood from her mouth, and everyone around her was so scared that they took a few steps back.
"You're a quack doctor. You actually sold fake medicine. Hurry up and pay me one thousand yuan, or I'll call the police to arrest you..."
Meng Shuyue took a step forward and smiled at Song Shijing beside him, "This lady said that my medicine caused her to vomit blood. You should go back to the house and call the police."
Song Shijing hummed, immediately pushed through the crowd, opened the store door, went in and called the police.
The old lady who had just vomited blood was stunned on the spot. She didn't expect that the woman in front of her would actually call the police. It was completely different from the scene she had expected of crying, making a fuss, extorting money, and making a big fuss.
This woman actually called the police!
At this point, the old lady was so anxious that she was sweating all over. She didn't know whether to go in or out. She glanced around, not knowing what she was looking for. She even forgot to cough.
Soon, the police arrived at the scene. The old lady was so scared that she subconsciously wanted to escape. It was only when Meng Shuyue sneered that she stopped and turned back awkwardly.
"Sister, why don't you just pay me some money? Why do you need to ask the police to come over?"
Meng Shuyue glanced at her, grabbed her and said to the police, "Comrade, this lady has a ruddy complexion and is full of energy. Does she look like a patient who has been murdered?"
After hearing what she said, the old lady instantly turned into a dramatic actress and started coughing madly.
The acting was really very realistic, with no emotion, just technique.
When the police saw her coughing so exaggeratedly, they quickly asked someone to send the old lady to the hospital. The old lady was so frightened that her coughing suddenly stopped and she waved her hands repeatedly.
"No, no, it costs money to go to the hospital, and I don't have any money..."
Seeing that the situation had almost reached a certain point, Meng Shuyue didn't intend to endure the show and pointed at the old lady and looked around at the onlookers, "Everyone, did you think she was coughing a lot just now? But didn't you notice something wrong? Coughing so hard, a normal person would have shortness of breath and a red face, but you were coughing and talking at the same time, and you could speak so clearly, what else could you say if you weren't pretending?"
When everyone heard what she said, they immediately realized that something was wrong and started pointing at the old lady and talking nonsense.
The old lady saw that her acting was too much and was exposed. Her face turned red and she didn't even dare to cough, for fear that if she coughed, people would blame her for being fake.
She waved her hands and denied frantically, saying that she was sometimes good and sometimes bad. Finally, she looked at the police and said, "Comrade, I know my own body. This girl not only sold fake medicine but also framed me. You should arrest her quickly..."
"Really? That lady thinks I am framing you. It's very simple. Just go to the hospital for a checkup. I will pay for the checkup."
Meng Shuyue directly made a suggestion and interrupted the old lady's spell.
The policeman nodded in agreement and motioned for the old lady to go to the hospital with him.
The old lady was almost anxious now. She wiped the blood from the corner of her lips, smiled awkwardly and said that she had to go back to take care of her grandson and had no time, so she wanted to slip away.
Before he could squeeze out of the crowd, he was blocked by Song Shijing.
The old lady was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground. How could anyone not understand her pale face? They all criticized the old lady for curing her chronic cough and yet she wanted to blackmail the girl.
Faced with the accusations from neighbors, the old lady covered her face and felt ashamed. She could only cry and tell the whole story.
"I can't help it. The girl really cured my cough. I drank the medicine for three days and my cough was much better. Today, it's been a week and it's completely healed."
"Originally I wanted to come here to thank the girl today, but my brat was caught by a girl when he went out and accused of being a hooligan, and they wanted to put him in jail. Later, the person who came said that if I framed the girl again, they would let my son go. I have no choice, wuwuwu..."
Everyone was shocked. They thought that the old lady had received money to frame the girl, but they didn't expect it to be like this.
The police comforted the old lady and said that they would definitely help her son find out the truth. They also sternly taught her to call the police if anything happened in the future and not to be threatened by others.
The old lady nodded repeatedly, and finally bowed to Meng Shuyue several times to express her apologies and gratitude. Only then was she taken away by the police amid the sighs of the crowd.
The crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only a few reporters with cameras.
Meng Shuyue and Song Shijing smiled at each other, knowing that their Lingquan Pharmaceutical Factory was going to become famous before it even opened.
