Rebirth of the Evil Mother-In-Law

chapter-236
The Zhang family was about to be driven mad by Gaoyuan Corporation.
Through Zhang ZhiYang, they have learned that the two medications were from Fang JunRong. In their minds, medicines like these would, undoubtedly, become treasures of a family and more than enough to prop up Fang JunRong’s family for many years to come, much like the Zhang family. What they did not expect was how she had turned in her formula just like that and sold them at such an affordable price.
How would there be fools like her who’d just give away one’s treasure mines like that? And, on top of that, the Zhang family was unfortunately enough to run into this fool and became their stepping stool in going up.
Netizens had all rushed under their website and left all sorts of sarcastic messages.
Those at the Zhang family could not sit tight anymore and they called for a clan meeting.“Clan leader, perhaps we should lower our price as well? At this rate, we will be boycotted by the public.” There were a lot of noises about boycotting them among the public.
The Zhang family had always looked down upon the commoners and felt that they were second-class citizens. Nevertheless, when these people all ganged up and boycott them, not even a family their size could resist that.
“If we are to lower our prices to, say, 300 yuan, we can at least make tens of yuan per bottle.” It was way less than what they were making before but some was still better than none at all. They were not yet ready to part with their profit from the Bone-Connecting Cream.
Zhang Bi rejected that idea right away. “We can’t do that. If we lowered the price by so much, we are telling everyone that we had been very unconscientious in the past.”
Many had complained about how expensive their medications were in the past. And, back then, the Zhang family would release announcements justifying that the cost of their medications was high because they used the best ingredients and the process of making them was very complicated. That they would get what they paid for. If they were to lower their price to 1/100 what it used to be, he worried that the public would tear them into pieces.
Especially those who had purchased from them in the past. They would want to see blood. Many of them were from not-so-well-off families really tightening their belts in order to buy the Bone-Connecting Cream.
Just the thought of it was enough to make Zhang Bi shuddered. It made him felt even more resentful toward Fang JunRong who had put them in this spot. Was she a fool?“Bi was right. We can’t lower the price now.” The clan leader of the Zhang family opened up his eyes and, looking helplessly, he said, “Let’s take the Bone-Connecting Cream off the market and pause production from the factories. Who would buy them now even if we continue to churn them out?” There was tremendous sadness in his voice when he said that. Bone-Connecting Cream made up a large part of their profit and it was a very painful decision on his part.
Fang JunRong’s move had completely blind-sided them. She had uprooted the Zhang family’s foundation from the ground up. At this very moment, even the well-experienced clan leader of the Zhang was at loss about the future of their clan.
Zhang Bi said with his head lowered, “Grandpa, we had failed you. We have yet to figure out the formulas for those prescriptions.” They couldn’t even re-create the Beautify Pills. A family that boasted being leader in the medicinal field was being stomped all over by a common woman.
The clan leader of the Zhang family said, “Keep going with the research. Also try to get the formula through other means. Whatever you need to do to accomplish that.”
His eyes lit up and his look determined. There was a killer-intent in his voice. He looked around those in the room and said, “Whoever that could get their hands on the formula for White Jade Cream will be the next successor.”
His voice energized the room. Everybody exchanged looks with each other and everybody wanted to be the one who was the first to accomplish that.
