Chapter 2324: Chapter 2140: Why Are You Carrying Her? (Part 6)
"No need, we’re not having a meal. Just send someone to deliver the samples and sign the contract, that’s all." Xu Jiahui said.
"Alright."
"Okay, let’s do that then."
Song Xiaodong hung up the phone and happily announced to everyone, "I’ve got good news, my drink finally won’t have trouble selling anymore."
"What happened?" Qingqing asked.
"Do you know who Secretary Niu’s wife is?" Song Xiaodong asked.
Qingqing shook her head.
"It’s the boss of Zhou Changsheng that I asked Lu Yaobing to find. I made the deal with the boss’s wife for the supply contract for all the supermarkets in Minghe City!" Song Xiaodong said.
"Then why didn’t you find them earlier? Lu Yaobing almost got bullied, and only then did you think of it? Crying over spilled milk?" Qingqing rolled her eyes at Song Xiaodong.
"Earlier, I didn’t know, right..."
"That’s great, your drink can finally be sold. I’ve been drinking so much I want to puke!" Xuanxuan stuck out her tongue and said to Song Xiaodong.
"Puke from drinking, my formula is so good it makes people addicted. It’ll definitely be a hit next year! You guys don’t know how lucky you are!" Song Xiaodong said.
"Xiaodong, didn’t you say your tea is a weight loss tea? How come I don’t feel any effect?" Chu Xianling asked Song Xiaodong.
"You barely get out of bed all day, just eating and sleeping. If it works, that’d be odd." Song Xiaodong said to Chu Xianling.
"Actually, Chu Xianling isn’t wrong. This drink isn’t as effective as the weight loss tea you used to make yourself!" Li Sijie said.
"Yeah, I know, this weight loss tea doesn’t really have any effect." Song Xiaodong replied.
"No effect and you still call it weight loss tea? That’s false advertising!" Qingqing said.
"It’s not completely ineffective. It’s not actual weight loss tea. The full name is weight loss tea beverage, meaning it’s weight loss tea plus beverage, and it contains sugar. For instance, this bottle’s total calories are 2000 kcal, and the weight loss effect of my tea is also 2000 kcal." Song Xiaodong said.
"So it’s just like drinking water then?" Qingqing asked.
"How could it be the same? Is water as tasty as my weight loss tea?" Song Xiaodong said.
"You’re clearly deceiving consumers!" Qingqing said.
"The weak effect is unavoidable. For better results, I’d have to increase the amount of herbal medicine, but more herbs would make it taste bad, and then it wouldn’t sell." Song Xiaodong shrugged.
"Oh..."
"So I’m planning to launch two products: one tasty but ineffective beverage and another that’s nasty but has noticeable weight loss effects, a true weight loss tea." Song Xiaodong said.
"Ah... can you still make the weight loss tea you used to make?" Chu Xianling asked.
"No, I can’t." Song Xiaodong responded.
"Why not?" Qingqing asked.
"Because the old herbs are almost used up, and I need the best ones for my alchemy." Song Xiaodong said.
"If you’re out of herbs, go buy some!" Chu Xianling said.
"You’d have to go to the Beijing herbal wholesale market. Are you going?" Song Xiaodong asked Chu Xianling.
"I’m not going..." Chu Xianling pouted.
"Anyone else going?"
"I’m not going..."
"See?" Song Xiaodong spread his hands to everyone.
"Send your apprentice!" Li Sijie suggested to Song Xiaodong.
"Let’s not, don’t make my apprentice do everything. I’m a master, not a landlord, and she’s not a hired hand." Song Xiaodong said.
"Buying herbs, only those who understand medical skills are useful, what can we do?" Chu Xianling said.
"Didn’t you say Little Six went to Beijing before? How did he understand?" Qingqing asked.
"That was different. Su Xiaoliu went with my purchase list, not caring about quality. But for making a more effective weight loss tea, we’d need top quality herbs. Chu Xianling is right, we really need to send someone knowledgeable." Song Xiaodong said.
"Then having your apprentice go is just right, isn’t it?" Li Sijie said.
"Stop making her do this and that, my apprentice has exams coming up and is busy studying." Song Xiaodong said.
"Your apprentice doesn’t even seem like a student anymore, dining with secretaries today, discussing business with others tomorrow, like a social person." Chu Xianling said.
"Of course, she’s my apprentice, taking it beyond me, accomplishing things young, being spirited is perfectly normal." Song Xiaodong said.
"Where exactly is she surpassing you, in the art of husband-hunting? Going to find ten or so husbands like you did?" Chu Xianling laughed.
"What nonsense, my apprentice is obviously a person of good character." Song Xiaodong said.
"But seriously, someone really needs to go to Beijing to buy some herbs. The drink has already started production, but the weight loss tea is not even close to completion; we have to get this moving." Song Xiaodong said.
"Just right, I plan to go back these few days." Chu Xianling said.
"What for?" Song Xiaodong asked.
"Chu Huaiyuan had a baby, need to go back for the full month banquet." Chu Xianling said.
"Chu Huaiyuan is..." Song Xiaodong couldn’t recall the name.
"The one you fought with last time." Chu Xianling said.
"Ah." That made Song Xiaodong remember.
"Then you can go with Lu Yaobing." Song Xiaodong said.
"You guys really have the nerve, Lu Yaobing just got some shares, hasn’t seen a dime in returns, yet you keep making her work every day?" Qingqing criticized Song Xiaodong.
"She got 40%, do you know what that means? Round up and that’s basically half of the company shares." Song Xiaodong said.
"What about the remaining 60%?" Qingqing asked.
"Our Su Family has 40%, and Xiaoliu and I each have 10%." Song Xiaodong said.
"You haven’t done a thing and still feel justified in taking money?" Xuanxuan asked Song Xiaodong.
"Not working doesn’t mean I’m not effective. Without my connections, could this drink factory have been built so quickly and smoothly? Go ask around, see if anyone else can set up a drink factory in a week like I did?" Song Xiaodong boasted.
"Shameless..."
"I’ll call Lu Yaobing right now."
"Apprentice?" Song Xiaodong cheekily said to Lu Yaobing.
"Master."
"Help your master out?" Song Xiaodong asked.
"Whatever you say, master."
