Chapter 36 If you want trouble, go find them...
"Yes," Mrs. Li nodded repeatedly, "I was able to lose weight this time thanks to Qing Tang." She had originally expected to lose ten pounds and be grateful, but she lost a full fifty pounds. The weight loss results were truly amazing!
"She not only gave me weight loss pills, but also gave me acupuncture and medicinal meals. She really went to great lengths. Renxin Pharmacy will definitely be very successful under her management."
Upon hearing this, Su Rong was taken aback and asked incredulously, "Are you talking about Shen Qingtang?"
"Of course." Mrs. Li said with a smile, "Mrs. Qin, are you so happy that you don't even know who Shen Qingtang is?" She whispered, "Mrs. Qin, I heard that Qingtang has developed a beauty pill. We are such good friends, you have to give me a favor."
After speaking, her gaze turned specifically to Zhang Xining. Su Rong noticed that Zhang Xining looked radiant and had fair skin, appearing more energetic than usual. She was already beautiful, but now she looked like a dazzling butterfly at the wedding banquet.
Su Rong understood Mrs. Li's implied meaning and realized that this must be the effect of taking the beauty pill.
The others present weren't stupid either; they quickly grasped the implication and surrounded Su Rong, their faces beaming with ingratiating smiles.
"Mrs. Qin, we have such a good relationship, you must get me a beauty pill."
“Mrs. Qin, I have a fine Song Dynasty tea set at home. You’ll taste the best when you take it home to brew tea.”
"Mrs. Qin, we were classmates. I'm willing to pay a high price for these slimming pills and beauty pills."
"Mrs. Qin, how about we go play polo tomorrow afternoon?"
......
Su Rong, having weathered many storms, quickly put on a polite smile and maneuvered among the flattering words of the crowd, though she felt somewhat complicated inside.
She had initially thought that Renxin Pharmacy's business was struggling, and that Shen Qingtang was also worried, which was why she decided to help and dragged the person to this social occasion. However, she never expected that the pharmacy's business was booming, with these wealthy ladies already asking her for favors. But upon closer reflection, the slimming pills and beauty pills did indeed have such appeal, not to mention the two living examples of Mrs. Li and Zhang Xining right in front of her.
Frankly speaking, for a wealthy woman, weight and appearance are topics that will resonate throughout her entire life. There's a reason why these people are so eager to acquire such elixirs; if you put yourself in her shoes, you too would generously spend money on elixirs with miraculous effects.
Not knowing how many pills Shen Qingtang had left, Su Rong spoke tactfully, only saying she would try her best. After skillfully maneuvering and dealing with these noble ladies, she finally felt a dry mouth and, unusually, hurriedly drank two glasses of pear juice—one to quench her thirst and the other to soothe her throat.
Then, she walked up to Shen Qingtang in her high heels and glanced at her, saying, "Qingtang, where is Miaoren?"
Shen Qingtang stopped chewing her pastry and said, "Qin Xiaomei went to the restroom just now, but..." She frowned and said, "But she hasn't come back yet."
Su Rong waved her hand dismissively and said, "They probably went to chat with an acquaintance." Then, her face darkened, and she said in a deep voice, "Qing Tang, be honest, how good have I been to you during our time at the Qin Mansion?"
It is said that a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea. Just a moment ago, Mrs. Qin was all smiles, but suddenly her mood turned cloudy, and her face was full of dark clouds.
Although Shen Qingtang was confused about the situation, she still answered honestly, "Aunt Su, you've been very good to me." Apart from saying some reprimanding things to her at the beginning at the hospital, you've indeed been good to her later.
Su Rong crossed her arms and snorted coldly, "Since I've been so good to you, why didn't you give me a single one after developing the weight loss pill?"
Hearing this, Shen Qingtang carefully examined Su Rong's figure for a while before replying, "Aunt Su, I think your figure is just right now, you don't need to lose weight."
Su Rong smiled and was secretly pleased, but feigned anger and said, "Forget about the weight loss pills, what about the beauty pills? I can always use them."
Time may not defeat a beautiful woman, but it can cost money. Aging is undoubtedly a normal life sign. Even if Su Rong spends ten million yuan every year on beauty and skincare, wrinkles will still appear, just less pronounced than those of her peers.
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingtang said, "I just developed the Beauty Pill, and it still needs to be tested by someone to confirm that there are no problems before I dare to give it to Aunt Su." After saying that, she paused and said, "I have always kept Aunt Su's share of the Beauty Pill."
Hearing this, Su Rong gave Shen Qingtang a reproachful look, then finally smiled and complained, "I really thought your pharmacy business wasn't doing well." She wasn't angry at all; she just felt uncomfortable because she was worrying unnecessarily.
At the same time, she once again gained a deeper understanding of what Old Master Huang meant when he praised Shen Qingtang with the phrase "a promising future." With two powerful products under Shen Qingtang's name—weight-loss pills and beauty pills—how could business not be booming?
When she first learned that Shen Qingtang had sold the formula for the Qi-replenishing pill to Elder Huang, she thought to herself that he was short-sighted and ignorant. But now she understands the confidence behind his actions.
A beggar might treat a beautiful piece of jade as a family heirloom, but a jade merchant would only see it as an ordinary jade pendant.
Zhang Xining came to Shen Qingtang's side and happened to hear this. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, saying, "Mrs. Qin, you're really overthinking it." She paused for a moment and then teased, "Qingtang could make a fortune just by selling these two kinds of pills."
If Mrs. Li is undoubtedly the queen of gossip tonight, then Zhang Xining is undoubtedly the queen of social interaction. Whether man or woman, one glance at her is enough to captivate them. Those slender women, though thin, are nothing compared to Zhang Xining—just skinny bones, utterly lacking in beauty and posing no threat whatsoever.
Su Rong blinked and asked curiously, "Xining, how many days have you been taking the beauty pills? How are the results?"
Zhang Xining covered his lips and chuckled, saying, "Mrs. Qin, you only need to take one beauty pill every seven days. After taking it, I woke up the next day and found that my skin was much smoother and my whole body felt much lighter."
What were the results on the third day?
"Doctor Shen, could you sell me some beauty pills?"
"Dr. Shen, I have always been a regular customer of your Renxin Pharmacy."
...
The others spotted Shen Qingtang and rushed over to strike up a conversation, taking the opportunity to ask Zhang Xining about the effects and experience of taking the beauty pill.
Shen Ruowan had to reshoot a scene, and by the time she arrived, the wedding banquet was already halfway over.
As soon as she entered, she saw her younger sister, Shen Ruoqi, approaching her with a resentful expression, her lips curled up so high they could hold a soy sauce bottle.
"What's wrong?" Shen Ruowan blinked and asked, noticing the other person's unhappy expression.
Shen Ruoqi had been holding back her anger for a long time. As soon as Shen Ruowan asked her, she was like a fish that had taken the bait, and she launched into a tirade: "Sister, this Shen Qingtang is too arrogant. So what if she developed a weight loss pill and a beauty pill? Now all the ladies of wealthy families are trying to befriend her, and even my girlfriends have been attracted to her."
What's even more outrageous is that just a moment ago, this wealthy lady was praising her for having such a wonderful older sister as Shen Ruowan, but the next second the topic shifted to Shen Qingtang, stating bluntly that she was the most outstanding member of the Shen family. Her words even carried a hint of regret, pity, and sympathy, as if they had kicked some precious treasure out the door—it was utterly ridiculous!
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Shen Ruowan's eyes. She patted Shen Ruoqi's shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be angry, this is normal."
The term "wealthy family" only sounds glamorous; they are no different from other families. Their interactions are all about profit. Today they might try to please Shen Qingtang for weight loss pills or beauty pills, but tomorrow they might try to please someone else for something else.
It would be a waste to get upset or angry over this.
Although Shen Ruoqi understood Shen Ruowan's words of comfort, she still felt a pang of grievance. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she said, "Big sister, you are Master Huang's disciple. Your medical skills must be better than Shen Qingtang's, right?"
She excitedly shared her idea: "Why don't you develop slimming pills and beauty pills too? The pills you make will definitely be more effective than Shen Qingtang's." Hearing this, Shen Qingtang's lips twitched involuntarily. She tried hard to suppress the urge to roll her eyes. Making pills wasn't like eating or drinking; it wasn't that simple. Even if her medical skills were more advanced, let alone her current limitations, every formula required years of dedicated research and accumulation of the wisdom of predecessors.
So she pursed her lips and gave a forced laugh, avoiding the main point, saying, "Ruoqi, my focus right now is on the entertainment industry, and I really can't spare the time for other things."
Hearing this, Shen Ruoqi said with a regretful look, "Alright then." Soon, she raised her head again and said confidently, "No matter how good Shen Qingtang is, she's just a traditional Chinese medicine doctor." Her older sister, on the other hand, is a female celebrity with millions of fans, loved by everyone and having a beautiful love story.
No sooner had she finished speaking than she heard a woman's sneer.
"If you can't do it, you can't do it. Making up an excuse that you can't find the time is just laughable."
These words were quite impolite. When Shen Ruoqi turned around and saw that it was Qin Sumiao, her anger subsided by a third. However, she still bit her lip and said defiantly, "Sister Miaomiao, how could you say that?" She raised her head and said with great pride, "My sister is a disciple of Elder Huang. Her medical skills are far superior to Shen Qingtang's."
Qin Sumiao looked at Shen Ruoqi with a pitying gaze and said, "Don't you know that she almost tarnished Elder Huang's reputation by acting as a go-between?" She looked at Shen Ruowan with a warning look and said, "Elder Huang just didn't remember you at the time. If you continue to use Elder Huang to promote yourself, it won't just be Ge Youan who gets expelled from the sect by Elder Huang."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Shen Ruoqi looked at Shen Ruowan, hoping she would say something to refute her, but in the end, Shen Ruowan only managed a weak smile and quickly pulled her away.
In that instant, it felt as if something inside Shen Ruoqi's heart had shattered. She had always believed her perfect sister wasn't real after all.
"Sister, Sister Miaomiao just now..."
Seeing the other person's still gentle and friendly smile, Shen Ruoqi sensed a cold aura this time. She pursed her lips and gave a stiff smile, changing the subject: "Sister, the desserts over there look pretty good, let's go try them."
*
"Dad! I saw Mrs. Li's car!" Chen Li patted Chen Maquan, who was doing accounts at the counter, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.
The one-month deadline has finally arrived! When that time comes, Mrs. Li will definitely cause a huge scene at Renxin Medical Clinic, turning Shen Qingtang's business upside down!
Thinking of this, the old fox Chen Maquan's smile widened. He patted his son Chen Li on the shoulder and said, "Quick, let's go take a look." He couldn't wait to witness this exciting scene. If Shen Qingtang's mental fortitude was weak, he was confident he could buy Renxin Pharmacy on the spot. Then, the only pharmacy on Changchun Street would be theirs.
This wonderful image made Chen Maquan's blood surge. Chen Li, on the other hand, thought of Cui Mingyue and Cui Min, who had to come for job interviews because they were unemployed, and his smile stretched all the way to the back of his head.
The new Renxin Clinic and Renxin Medical Clinic are not far apart, so they could clearly see Mrs. Li's car. Chen Maquan respectfully stepped forward to exchange pleasantries, but when he saw the strange woman getting out of the passenger seat, he stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "You...you are Mrs. Li's relative?"
Chen Maquan made inferences based on the woman's features, which were both strange and familiar.
After losing weight, Mrs. Li loved seeing the surprised expressions on people's faces because of her. The feeling of satisfaction she got was like a surging wave, indescribably exhilarating. She never tired of seeing those expressions, so she smiled broadly and denied it, saying, "Director Chen, don't you really recognize me?"
The familiar voice instantly awakened Chen Maquan's memory. He gasped and asked with disbelief, "You...you are Mrs. Li?" It's no wonder Chen Maquan was so shocked. In his memory, Mrs. Li was a plump woman with a figure like a cylinder.
If you run even a little faster, the fat on your body will fly up, making you look like a steamed bun, and your facial features will naturally be squeezed together, making you look less than passable.
But now she is noticeably thinner, and her features are clearly visible. She must have had a good foundation to be able to get together with her husband back then. With the help of tailor-made clothes, she looks completely different from before.
A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Chen Maquan's heart, but he forced himself to remain calm and suppressed the thought. He politely complimented her, "Mrs. Li, you have really lost a lot of weight recently. I almost didn't recognize you."
He paused, then, with a probing tone, said, "I wonder which weight loss clinic you went to. My wife is also complaining that she's gained too much weight, and I'd like to sign her up too. Price isn't an issue."
"I didn't expect Director Chen to be so good to his wife." She pointed to Renxin Medical Clinic across the street and said, "But I didn't go to a weight loss clinic. Those clinics use hormone drugs, and the weight will rebound afterward. It doesn't last long."
"I was able to lose weight thanks to Qingtang for giving me weight loss pills, acupuncture, and medicinal meals."
These words struck Chen Maquan like a thunderbolt, and his face darkened. The suspicion he had barely suppressed resurfaced in his mind: Shen Qingtang really had helped Mrs. Li lose weight!
So the other party didn't come here to cause trouble at all, but to express their gratitude!
Mrs. Li noticed that the other person looked unhappy and suddenly sensed something was off. She then remembered that the other person had not come from Renxin Medical Clinic, but had run over from across the street.
She glanced over and stared at the sign for a long time before asking in surprise, "Has Qingtang opened another branch? Why didn't she tell me? I should have let her open one near my house. I happen to have a shop that I need to reclaim."
Hearing this, Chen Maquan felt a surge of jealousy. He knew that Mrs. Li lived in a villa in Lijiang, a truly wealthy area, costing 200,000 yuan per square meter. Based on his understanding of Mrs. Li, she would be more than grateful to Shen Qingtang; there was no way she would accept money. This meant that the previous misunderstanding about Shen Qingtang's medicine prescription was definitely forgotten in her mind.
He suddenly felt that leaving Renxin Medical Clinic might have been a mistake. He licked his lips, faced Mrs. Li's gaze, and continued, "New Renxin is not a branch; I opened a separate clinic on my own."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li's gaze immediately turned cold. Having been through the business world, she naturally understood the other party's intentions.
Attracting customers while simultaneously suppressing his former employer—such behavior is truly despicable. Of course, Mrs. Li is also a respectable person, so she merely glanced at Chen Maquan with a half-smile and said meaningfully, "Director Chen, you really are capable."
She glanced at her phone and waved her hand, saying, "Director Chen, I'm not going to keep up the good talk. I still have to go in and queue up."
"Besides the slimming pills and beauty pills she has, I also want to buy Xuehua Dan." Xuehua Dan is a newly developed product that has remarkable effects on symptoms such as allergic rashes.
Weight loss pills, beauty pills, snow flower pills? Chen Maquan was completely bewildered. Just as he was about to ask for more details, he found that the other party had already entered Renxin Medical Clinic.
The next second, to his astonishment, all sorts of luxury cars stopped at the alley entrance, and ladies he knew and didn't know jogged over in high heels, their faces all showing the same anxious expression, as if they were participating in a 100-meter sprint.
Chen Li thought these people were coming for his pharmacy, so he put on a smiling face early on. But he didn't expect them to ignore him completely. He was even stepped on several times, and his insteps were bruised and swollen.
What's even more infuriating is that he originally thought Renxin Pharmacy was doing poor business, but these people were all lining up in long queues across the street! Not a single one of the usually delicate ladies and rich young ladies showed the slightest bit of dissatisfaction.
"Dad, what's going on? Why is Shen Qingtang's clinic doing so well?" Chen Li couldn't help but ask.
Chen Maquan, being experienced and shrewd, finally managed to find out the situation clearly: "They are snapping up slimming pills, beauty pills, and snow flower pills. Each pill costs 150,000. I heard that the formula for these pills was developed by Shen Qingtang herself."
Upon hearing this, Chen Tu scoffed, "How could Shen Qingtang possibly have the ability to develop pill formulas? She was just an intern under me before, and I sent her to decoct and prepare medicine every day."
Upon hearing this, someone asked in confusion, "Then what about these pill formulas?"
Chen Tu said in a deep voice, "I remember that the Shen family ancestors were also practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine. After all, they have passed down their knowledge for so many years and opened so many clinics. They must have some secret formulas." He paused for a moment, then said decisively, "Anyway, this could absolutely not have been developed by Shen Qingtang."
In everyone's mind, Chen Tu was an experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctor, while Shen Qingtang was just someone who had just obtained a junior TCM doctor's license. The weight of their words was obvious, and many people chose to believe Chen Tu. The respect they had initially felt for Shen Qingtang because of this incident vanished, and they simply thought that the other party was lucky and had the means to rely on his past achievements. The discussions were full of belittling remarks.
"I really thought Shen Qingtang was that amazing. It turns out it's an ancestral recipe, yet she dares to sell it for such a high price."
“Once she finishes taking these two prescriptions, let’s see how long her Renxin Medical Clinic can last.”
"To run a successful medical clinic, it's not enough to just have a few prescriptions."
......
Of course, someone inadvertently spoke the truth: "These prescriptions are probably enough for Shen Qingtang to make a fortune."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, filled with envy and jealousy. It's well known that women value their figure and beauty above all else, especially wealthy wives and young ladies who already place great importance on these aspects; the demand is simply enormous. Don't be fooled by the fact that a single pill costs 150,000; some well-known weight-loss institutions charge even more, yet their effects might not even be half as good.
Therefore, this kind of thing is completely like Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one party is willing to hit and the other is willing to be hit.
Chen Maquan was furious. After all, there were only a small number of wealthy people in Kyoto. Many of the elegant ladies who used to queue at Renxin Pharmacy were his original customers. Just now, he shamelessly invited them to come and buy ginseng and other precious Chinese medicinal herbs, and even offered them a 20% discount. However, they declined, saying that they could just buy them at Renxin Pharmacy and avoid the trouble of making another trip.
As for a 20% discount, it's nothing to the wealthy. It has to be said, money talks.
Thinking about this, he became even more anxious. If one or two people were like this, and this continued, not only would the Renxin Medical Clinic across the street go bankrupt, but his new Renxin Medical Clinic would be the first to collapse.
To open this new Renxin Medical Clinic, he threw in not only his savings for his wife but also his savings for his funeral!
When Chen Li heard that a small pill was going to sell for 150,000, his eyes turned so red they almost popped out. He looked at the people coming and going from the clinic across the street and silently estimated that there were about 56 people there.
In other words, Shen Qingtang's Renxin Pharmacy alone has generated nine million in sales today. Moreover, today is only the first day, and there are definitely other wealthy ladies who haven't bought anything yet. Even with a rough estimate, their sales for the month are over twenty million.
No one knows the profit margins in the medicinal herb and pill business better than him. If Shen Qingtang were to use higher-quality medicinal herbs, he could earn half the profit.
The words "ten million" suddenly crashed into his mind, causing his whole body to convulse and his dark eyes to turn red.
Unable to contain his excitement, he enthusiastically suggested, "Dad, why don't we sell these pills too? I remember Renxin Medical Clinic recently hired three apprentices; we can have them steal the pill formulas."
Hearing this, Chen Maquan looked at his foolish son and twitched his lips, saying, "Who would be so stupid as to give these pill formulas to their apprentices?" These are all goose eggs that lay golden eggs. Putting himself in his shoes, he would keep these formulas a secret and not let anyone find out.
Chen Li slapped his forehead, finally coming to his senses, and said, "In that case, let's buy a few original pills and replicate them." He said ambitiously, "Then we'll sell them for 100,000 yuan each. Even if we earn a little less, it'll attract more customers."
Chen Maquan: "...This pill formula isn't something you can just replicate so easily." Besides, to replicate it, he'd have to throw in at least 450,000 yuan. If he succeeds, great; if he fails, he'll really lose everything.
Chen Li curled his lip in disdain and said, "Dad, why are you so timid? I've said that fortune favors the bold. Uncle Chen is so capable, replicating a few prescriptions is a piece of cake for him, isn't it?" After saying that, he paused and added, "Do you want Renxin Medical Clinic's business to continue to be so prosperous?"
It has to be said that Chen Li's words struck a chord with Chen Maquan. After a moment of contemplation, he stroked his chin and said, "Go and call your Uncle Chen here."
After hearing this, Chen Li knew that the matter was mostly settled, and he also arranged for his connections to snap up one slimming pill, one beauty pill, and one snow flower pill. When Chen Maquan learned that these pills cost a total of 600,000, his desire to chop Chen Li into mincemeat stirred within him.
Chen Li craned his neck and said confidently, "Dad, this is all initial investment. We will definitely be able to make back our investment in the future."
Chen Maquan had no choice but to hurry up and develop the product, since the money had already been spent. His team was quite experienced and quickly identified the Chinese herbs used in its preparation.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "I never expected it to contain Poria cocos!" They had anticipated the inclusion of ingredients like snow lotus and ginseng in these three pills, but no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't have imagined Poria cocos. Poria cocos is a precious medicinal herb, sweet and neutral in nature. While it has effects such as draining dampness, strengthening the spleen, and calming the mind, and is highly effective for nephritis and edema, and also has diuretic properties, it is not suitable for women with excessive yin energy.
Chen Tu stroked his gray beard and emphasized, "And it's Yuexi Poria cocos." Yuexi Poria cocos is a specialty medicinal herb of Yuexi County, Anhui Province. It has a large yield and excellent quality, and has been introduced to various parts of the country for cultivation. It is said that the best quality Yuexi Poria cocos is as white as jade. After being sliced and dried by pharmacists, the fresh Poria cocos is as thin as paper, transparent in the sunlight, with layers of veins, like faint clouds, and it also emits a faint fragrance. Now is the season for purchasing it.
Looking at the progress before him, Chen Li smiled smugly: "It seems we should be able to develop the elixir soon." He felt as if a lot of money was beckoning to him.
Unfortunately, three days passed, and their experiment did not progress as expected, which made Chen Li so anxious that he developed a blister on his lip.
After yet another failed configuration attempt, his smile vanished, and he looked at Chen Tu with a cold expression, demanding, "Uncle Chen, can you give me a straight answer? When will it be successful?"
"You've been researching for so long, surely you can concoct one out of three pills?"
Chen Tu's face turned pale and then red after being spoken to by Chen Li's impolite words. He stroked his white beard and said, "Little Li, this matter really can't be rushed. This is definitely a secret recipe of the Shen family, and it will take some time to decipher it."
“Time, time, Uncle Chen…” Chen Li frowned and said, “If you really can’t do it, just admit it honestly. I’ll just pay you to find someone with better medical skills than you.” Being reprimanded so bluntly by a junior who was younger than him and whose father was someone he knew, Chen Tu’s face also turned ugly: “I already said I’m still researching. These things can’t be rushed. A slight mistake could kill someone. Director Chen, I don’t understand this principle, but don’t you?”
Every medicine has its side effects, and that's no exaggeration.
Chen Maquan, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly said, "Old Chen, I remember you clearly developed a weight loss pill last time, so why didn't I see it when I came this afternoon?"
Chen Tu looked into the other person's cold eyes and his heart skipped a beat. He immediately understood the other person's suspicion.
It turned out they thought he was deliberately deceiving them and delaying the process. He coughed repeatedly in anger, took off his gloves, and said, "In that case, I'll leave. The pill you wanted is in the freezer on the third basement level; I haven't touched it." Seeing the distrust in their eyes, he swallowed his advice that "it's only a half-finished product."
The people at Xinrenxin Medical Clinic didn't understand why Chen Tu, who was doing so well there, would suddenly resign, while Chen Maquan and Chen Li looked very happy.
Chen Maquan was eager to recoup his costs, so after testing that the pill was non-toxic, he immediately used his connections to sell the weight-loss pill.
However, just three days later, a group of menacing bodyguards in black smashed the sign of the New Renxin Medical Clinic with hammers. Their fierce appearance quickly attracted onlookers, and some even called the police on the spot.
The commotion outside also piqued Cui Mingyue's curiosity.
She blinked and patted Shen Qingtang's shoulder, saying, "Sister Shen, the Xinrenxin Medical Clinic across the street has been vandalized. Let's go take a look." The Xinrenxin signboard has been disgusting and repulsive to them for so long, but they have no legitimate reason or way to interfere.
So when Cui Mingyue saw the signboard was broken, she couldn't stop gloating.
Seeing everyone's curious expressions, Shen Qingtang said, "In that case, let's go take a look."
But as soon as they stepped outside, they found themselves surrounded by men in black suits. Chen Li pointed at them and cried out, "Brother Wang, Brother Wang, we actually bought these slimming pills from Renxin Medical Clinic!"
"It must be something wrong with their weight loss pills that caused Mrs. Wang to be hospitalized!"
"If you want to cause trouble, go find them!"
