Chapter 163: Lost Reputation 2
Chapter 163: Lost Reputation 2
Zhenzhen finished her performance quickly and the show ended. The crowd was noisy, and everyone was still immersed in Black Rose's graceful dance.
After Zhenzhen left the stage, Xueer came on stage and said: "Everyone, next is our Black Rose's secret recipe, but this secret recipe is limited.
Let the people in this box buy this secret recipe first. As for the price, it must start from ten taels of silver.
Anyone who needs it, please come and sign up! The private room will be given priority!"
Most of the people in the box were playboys, and of course some of them came to see what Black Rose looked like.
When Xue'er said the starting price was ten taels of silver, everyone started to whisper. Some people said, "Why did you come here to buy this kind of medicine? Aren't you afraid it's a scam?"
Others began to say: "Every profession has its own specialty! You see, there are so many men coming here every day. Which man can withstand it?
There must be some secret recipe that allows them to do this.
Otherwise, how could it be possible that someone could live here almost every day!"
"That must be it! With so many people coming here, there must be some secret recipes.
Now, it must be the secret recipe for the upgraded version, so it’s being sold for money!
Maybe they want a lot of people to come. If it doesn't work, wouldn't that just destroy their reputation?"
Everyone was discussing in whispers, their eyes flickering with desire for the secret recipe.
Zhenzhen is not a fool either. After she left, she went back to her own box.
Xue'er looked at Zhenzhen's calm demeanor and said jokingly, "Are you afraid that your medicine will really kill them? That's why you won't move at all."
Zhenzhen pushed Xueer and said with a hint of pride: "The easier it is to get something, the harder it is to cherish it.
What do you know? If I really take the medicine and beg them to buy it, they won’t buy it.
These people naturally have to have self-respect. If they really buy without regard for their self-respect, they will naturally know that it will be a failure.
Isn't it true that the less effective this medicine is, the better it works?
By then, your reputation of Manxiangyuan will have spread out.
Besides, this bad reputation has spread.
The best way for those people to get rid of this reputation is to come to Manxiangyuan more often and let everyone know that they come here often.
Wouldn’t your income here increase?
Why don't you come and retire to the mountains with me after some time?
What a comfortable life this is!"
Xue'er has always thought about it, but some of the sisters here only sell their art but not their bodies.
Those who were forced to sell themselves all had tragic life stories. If they got sick here, at least she would get treatment.
If they were to move to another place, I'm afraid these people would suffer. Most of the people working as waiters here are old, weak, sick and disabled. If they really leave, how can these people support their families?
Xueer laughed and said with some admiration: "Our great doctor is also good at doing business! I didn't expect that he would have such an idea.
I used to think that you had become stupid and dull because of studying medicine. Now it seems that I was judging you by my own standards! "
Zhenzhen wanted to say something when someone knocked on the door and said, "Is Black Rose here? I want the secret recipe!"
When Zhenzhen saw someone coming, she gave Xueer a look, and Xueer immediately opened the door and walked out.
Xue'er spoke with dignity: "If you want medicine, please line up in Zhenzhen's room. For the sake of everyone's privacy, everyone will be asked to wear a veil.
But this is limited. You need to queue up. As for the queueing method, the people in the box will come first. Then you will come later!"
After listening to this, Luo Wenqian said to Wen Jin with a guilty conscience: "How about we all go and get some?"
Wen Jin really wants it in his heart, and he has recently felt that he is somewhat unable to do so.
However, he was afraid that if he agreed too readily, Luo Wenqian would notice something.
Wen Jin said hesitantly: "This is not good. How can we do this? If it gets out, people will think we are not good enough.
This is probably a very bad thing, right? Where will our faces be then?"
After hearing this, Luo Wenqian thought about it seriously. If this matter got out, his reputation would naturally be ruined.
Luo Wenqian looked down at his outfit. Almost no one could recognize him in this outfit.
Luo Wenqian looked at Wen Jin who was rubbing her clothes anxiously beside him.
He immediately understood that Wen Jin probably also wanted this medicine, but was afraid of being discovered and losing face.
Luo Wenqian leaned close to Wen Jin's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You can't do it either. There are only two of us in this box now, so let's tell the truth.
This medicine is limited. If we miss it, I'm afraid we will be really hopeless.
Let's be honest. Anyway, no one knows we are out today, so how can we be discovered?"
Wen Jin himself was inclined to go get the medicine, but he was afraid that Luo Wenqian would laugh at him.
After hearing what Luo Wenqian said, Wen Jin naturally knew that Luo Wenqian was no longer able to make it, and he felt that he had found an ally.
Wen Jin immediately smiled and said: "Then let's go get some medicine? But this matter is between you and me!
If this gets out, I'm afraid both of us will lose face.
You will be laughed at by the world, especially you. Your position in the family will be in jeopardy.
I’m afraid that once this happens, your position will become even worse.”
Luo Wenqian was very unhappy with what Wen Jin said, but there was nothing he could do now. The most important thing now was to get the medicine first.
Luo Wenqian nodded seriously, and then said: "Then let's line up as soon as possible.
This is not a place to stay for long. I'm afraid we need to take it quickly and leave!
We have come here many times over the years and have never been discovered.
We cannot be discovered now. Once discovered, I am afraid our reputation will be ruined!"
Wen Jin took this matter more seriously than anyone else, so he revealed that he was a spy.
If anything goes wrong again, I'm afraid I'll lose my life.
Wen Jin looked at Luo Wenqian and said with a smile: "This matter cannot be leaked. But I'm afraid it's best for us to go separately.
If we go together, what if we get discovered? "
After Luo Wenqian heard this, his face darkened and he spoke angrily: "This is by box! Do we have to queue up twice?
Who do you think this will benefit? The longer we stay, the greater the risk of being discovered! "
Many people were already queuing in front of Zhenzhen's room. People outside were queuing with anticipation. People who came out all had smiles on their faces.
Luo Wenqian and Wen Jin couldn't help themselves when they saw the scene at Zhenzhen's door. They immediately rushed to line up.
Soon, it was Luo Wenqian and Wenjin's turn. Luo Wenqian went in immediately, Zhenzhen pretended to take his pulse, and then took out five bottles of Shenbao tablets for Luo Wenqian.
However, the packaging of the Shenbao tablets was torn off and replaced with paper packaging. Luo Wenqian was told to take five tablets at a time, three times a day.
Wen Jin also took his pulse when he went in. Zhenzhen prescribed six bottles for him, six tablets at a time, four times a day.
When the two people came out, they each had a large amount of medicine in their hands.
Compared to those who went in before them, everyone got relatively small amounts of medicine, but for the two of them, they got too much medicine.
Many people have already started whispering, and the people who were holding the medicine in front were also very confused. Each of them only had one or two bottles at most, so why did these two people have so many?
Some people who wanted to sell it at a high price started to calculate. After all, Luo Wenqian got more and others got less, which meant they would lose a lot of money.
Many people began to shout, "Manxiangyuan is bullying!"
Some ignorant people followed the direction of others and saw two people carrying a large pile of medicine in the corridor, and they were also very angry.
They all shouted, "Bullying! It's unfair! There is no justice in Manxiangyuan!"
Luo Wenqian and his friends wanted to hide the medicine, but they found that it was too big and could not be hidden at all.
Luo Wenqian and the others wanted to quickly escape to the side room, thinking that this would allow them to avoid the gazes of those people.
The eyes of the people downstairs were filled with desire for medicine, as well as hatred towards the two of them. The two of them shuddered when they saw those eyes.
But as luck would have it, the people in the other rooms were not very happy, and immediately several people stood in front of the two of them.
Luo Wenqian and Wen Jin were both furious, but seeing so many people around, they didn't dare to lose their temper for fear of being exposed.
Those guys were big and strong, and they immediately blocked Luo Wenqian and the others, shouting at them with resentment: "Why do you have so many medicines? Is it really not enough?
Or do you want to sell it at this high price?
What you are doing is not right. You have taken so many medicines, what about us who are behind?
Is it possible that there is nothing to be found after queuing for a long time?"
One of the men took the opportunity to pull off the veils on Luo Wenqian and the others' faces. The two were afraid of being exposed to everyone's sight.
Luo Wenqian and the other two immediately hid back. The rest of the people were unwilling to give in and had already put their hands on the two men.
Luo Wenqian and the other two were stunned for a moment, then they immediately slapped the two men's hands away and said, "Are you trying to rob in broad daylight?"
When several people heard the word "robbery", they immediately became interested and were about to attack.
Zhenzhen was listening to the noise outside in the room, and when she saw the right opportunity, she walked out slowly and calmly when she felt that a fight was about to break out outside.
Zhenzhen had a fake smile on her face and slowly said, “Everyone, I give this medicine based on each person’s pulse condition.
Naturally, some people give more and some give less. As for why some people give more, everyone should know the situation.
I am speaking out about this situation not to expose anyone's shortcomings, but just because I don't want anyone to be unhappy because of it!
Those who took less drugs should also feel lucky and should not abuse those who took more drugs. "
After listening to Zhenzhen's explanation, those people who were angry just now were not so angry anymore.
Instead, everyone looked at the two people who had more medicine with mockery in their eyes.
Those burly guys just now, seeing someone who is even worse than themselves, naturally wanted to laugh at him, which was the only way to relieve the hatred in their hearts.
These people snorted coldly, and said with arrogance in their voices: "So you are a very useless person. Then you can take more medicine, there is no problem with this.
These medicines seem to be several times more expensive than ours. Oops, thanks to Black Rose for explaining, otherwise we would have misunderstood you.
Not only did I almost hurt your pride, I almost hurt your body too!"
The people in the audience were also laughing. Luo Wenqian and the others looked at the scene in front of them and just wanted to escape quickly.
Although the two people felt very uncomfortable listening to what they said, they looked at the excited people in the audience and knew that if they stayed any longer, problems might arise again.
Luo Wenqian rolled his eyes at a few people and immediately walked forward.
Seeing Luo Wenqian's performance, those people were naturally very unhappy. He was obviously worse than them, yet he had the nerve to roll his eyes at them.
Several people immediately grabbed the wrists of the two men and prevented them from leaving.
The man stared at Luo Wenqian and Wenjin fiercely and said, "Why are you still showing off! How dare you roll your eyes at me! Take off your veil and let me see who dares to do this."
The two people were held back by the powerful force and could not move at all. They tried desperately to break free, but found that it was all in vain.
Luo Wenqian looked at the man's wrinkled face with a mocking smile on his face.
Luo Wenqian completely exploded, and while the man wasn't paying attention, he immediately kicked him in the lower body. The man covered his lower body in pain.
The man said to his servants: "I must catch these two people. I will let them know who is the boss here!"
Wen Jin also followed Luo Wenqian's example and kicked those people. Luo Wenqian and Wen Jin were stopped by others just as they reached the stairs.
The people downstairs were still watching the show and shouting: "Let's see who this is! Who is so incompetent!"
The two people were no match for the crowd, and those people had clear goals, so they came up and tore off the veils of the two people.
The moment the veil was pulled down, the two people subconsciously reached out to cover their faces, but it was too late.
In the crowd, the person I arranged shouted loudly the moment their veils fell off: "Isn't this the Prime Minister and the Minister of Revenue?"
There was a moment of silence in the place, and everyone looked over. Others followed suit, saying, "That's them! I've seen them before! I didn't expect them to come here!"
I didn’t expect that the Prime Minister would need so many medicines!”
"It seems that the Minister of Revenue has more medicine than the Prime Minister! I didn't expect that they would not work!"
"They actually came to a place like this and knew this information. Could it be that they came here often in the past?"
These words brought back memories for most people.
