The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 335: Exposed

Yun Jiao said incredulously, "Master Chen, oh no, Master Yu is quite an honest person, and his pharmaceutical skills are pretty good. How come Manager Yang dismissed him?"

Yang Xiong couldn’t come up with a reason on the spot, so he could only say, "It’s nothing major, just a bit of a misunderstanding."

Yun Jiao laughed, "Then Manager Yang, you won’t ask Master Yu to come back, right? Otherwise, people might think you sent Master Yu to Renxin Hall to steal my secret formula!"

Yang Xiong, almost cornered by Yun Jiao, could only awkwardly respond, "That surely won’t happen. Since I’ve already dismissed him, I definitely won’t hire him again."

Yun Jiao glanced sideways at Master Yu.

He watched as Master Yu’s expressionless face gradually flushed red.

This honest man took Yang Xiong’s words seriously right away.

He shouted at Yang Xiong, "Shopkeeper, that’s not what you said before!"

"You asked me to go to Renxin Hall to steal the formula and promised to raise my wages to two taels of silver once I returned."

"I didn’t want to do such a deceitful thing, and you took my wife and son elsewhere, forcing me to agree!"

"Now that it’s done, I’ve also gotten the formula for the Six-Flavor Rehmannia Pill for you. But now that Renxin Hall has seen through it and my reputation is ruined, you won’t let me return to Kangyuan Hall. How am I supposed to earn a living? How will I support my family?"

The whole hall suddenly became as lively as a boiling pot.

Someone laughed, "Yang Xiong, that’s really unscrupulous of you."

"Yeah, how can you treat someone like that?"

Someone even patted Yang Xiong on the shoulder, "Master Yu has it tough too. I think you should just take him back."

Someone else laughed, "Six-Flavor Rehmannia Pill? Isn’t that the Kidney Qi Pill you just started selling the other day?"

Yang Xiong was extremely embarrassed. Known for his eloquence and wit, he couldn’t think of anything to say at the moment.

His face had been trampled in public several times today, and he had painstakingly picked it up each time.

At this point, trampled by Master Yu’s heavy blow, he had no way of salvaging it.

Chairman Qin, having shown enough respect to Yun Jiao, waited until everyone had had their fill of mocking Yang Xiong and his son before lightly clearing his throat, "Greetings, colleagues."

Everyone turned and cupped their hands, "Greetings, Elder Qin."

Elder Qin sat at the main seat, "Please, everyone take a seat."

The onlookers started to disperse and took their seats.

All 100-plus chairs in the hall were filled.

Elder Qin quickly scanned the room, noting that not many pharmacy owners from the drug market had come, but most of the shopkeepers and doctors from Xiang City’s pharmacies were present.

He raised his hand slightly, "Thank you all for taking the time to attend this seminar."

"First, there are two things I need to mention. First, the drought in the south hasn’t improved much, and the price of Tianqi root might go up again this year. Those who need to stock up on it should hurry."

"Second, not long ago, thanks to Doctor Gu from Renxin Hall’s guidance, I learned that large rhubarb can be buried in moist sand for moistening before processing, which can preserve its medicinal properties to the greatest extent. Please take note, everyone."

Then Elder Qin continued, "In our industry, there are indeed some rules. For those who steal other people’s secret formulas, let me say this - such behavior will be despised by the entire industry!"

"If you want a secret formula, why not thoroughly research it yourself."

"Secret formulas haven’t existed since the ancient times; they were discovered step by step through practice. I advise everyone against taking shortcuts and engaging in crooked ways."
