Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Relief Tablet_1
It took a good long while for the elated Xiao Manlian to come back to her senses.
"This Anxin tablet is simply incredible!" she exclaimed.
"The Anxin tablet is just one of the least noticeable products of our Ren’antang. There are tens of thousands of products from Ren’antang, and the efficacy of every single one of them exceeds that of the Anxin tablet. That’s the strength of our Ren’antang! Of course, the ability of Ren’antang to produce such perfect products is owing to our own high-quality medicinal materials.
In fact, Ren’antang’s medicinal materials are never sold to the public. If Uncle Qiao hadn’t spoken for you, I wouldn’t have even met with you today. After all, I am very busy and have many matters to attend to," Pan Zhanpeng said, putting on airs.
His tactic was very effective on Xiao Manlian.
This woman was instantly anxious upon hearing it.
"Mr. Pan, please don’t misunderstand. I really don’t know much about traditional medicine. I can accept the price you’ve offered. However, I need to take some samples back for our Mrs. Yu to examine. After all, she’s the president. She needs to make the decision on such a significant procurement contract," she said.
"Of course," he replied.
Pan Zhanpeng had someone bring over samples of the medicinal materials required for White Cream, and he also gave Xiao Manlian a bottle of Anxin tablets, telling her to take it back for Yu Keqing to try.
Huanmei Group.
Seeing the samples and the price list that Xiao Manlian had brought back, Yu Keqing was stunned.
"President Xiao, are you sure this price list is correct?" she asked.
"Mrs. Yu, Ren’antang says that their medicinal materials are of very high quality and, as such, a bit more expensive than others. If we find it too expensive, we can choose not to buy from them. As for the prices, that’s simply how they are set at Ren’antang, with no room for negotiation. That Pan Zhanpeng also said that if it weren’t for the face of a mutual acquaintance, they wouldn’t sell their medicinal materials to Huanmei Group at all," Xiao Manlian explained.
Yu Keqing picked up the samples that Xiao Manlian had brought back and examined them.
"This is really better than others’?"
"I can’t really tell, but when you smell them, Ren’antang’s medicinal materials do have a stronger aroma."
Xiao Manlian took out another package of medicinal materials she had purchased from the medicine market. She had bought a bit of everything at various price points to compare.
Yu Keqing compared them but failed to come to a conclusion in the end.
However, to be fair,
Ren’antang’s medicinal materials did smell more pleasant.
That’s when Yu Keqing noticed the bottle of Anxin tablets.
She pointed and asked, "What’s this thing?"
"Anxin tablets, a product of Ren’antang. Mrs. Yu, why don’t you try one? This thing, once you’ve eaten it, feels amazing. It’s like, opening a door to a new world. It can make you feel as if you’re floating on air, as though you’re about to ascend to heaven," Xiao Manlian said.
Recalling the sensation from the Anxin tablet she had taken earlier, Xiao Manlian was still very excited.
However, Pan Zhanpeng had told her,
You shouldn’t take too many Anxin tablets. You could only have one every three days.
Otherwise, she would have already given in and taken the second one.
The floating feeling was just too delightful.
In that moment, all her worries dissolved away.
"Is it really that miraculous?"
Yu Keqing was doubtful.
She picked up an Anxin tablet and started scrutinizing the list of ingredients.
According to the ingredients list, it was all common medicinal herbs, nothing excessive.
Moreover, these herbs seemed quite ordinary, all of them commonly used.
Could eating these really create a feeling of floating on air?
Yu Keqing was highly skeptical.
"At first, I didn’t believe it either. The Anxin tablet looks plain, truly nothing special about it. But after you put it in your mouth and chew a bit. You really will feel something extraordinary, an incredible sensation like no other," Xiao Manlian said.
She poured a tablet into Yu Keqing’s palm and looked at her eagerly, saying, "Go on, eat it and see?"
Yu Keqing wasn’t keen on eating it, but Xiao Manlian’s words had massively piqued her curiosity.
Thus, she carefully put the Anxin tablet in her mouth and tentatively began to chew.
Just as she bit into it, a strange, medicinal fragrance assaulted her taste buds.
It was the first time she had experienced such a unique flavor.
After chewing a few more bites, Yu Keqing felt a special sensation shoot straight to her apex.
Did this feeling really make her feel like ascending to the heavens?
It took quite a while before Yu Keqing regained her composure.
Looking at the ingredient list on the bottle, she posed a question to Xiao Manlian.
"Are the ingredients listed here really correct? Why do I feel like this ’peace of mind’ pill contains something not mentioned on the ingredient list?"
Yu Keqing poured another pill from the bottle and handed it to Xiao Manlian.
"Take this to the lab and have the components of this ’peace of mind’ pill thoroughly tested. I refuse to believe there isn’t some sort of mess added that isn’t listed here!"
"Alright."
Two hours later, Xiao Manlian returned with the lab report.
Looking at the content on the lab report, Yu Keqing was shocked once again.
According to the lab report, the ingredients of the ’peace of mind’ pill were indeed clean, really only containing the constituents of the herbs listed on the label.
As for the other messy stuff, there wasn’t a trace to be found.
"How can this be?" Yu Keqing couldn’t figure it out at all.
"It seems that Ren’antang is indeed quite magical," Xiao Manlian remarked.
"You may go now."
Yu Keqing dismissed Xiao Manlian.
If she and her team couldn’t figure out the rationale behind Ren’antang’s ’peace of mind’ pill, then they would have to summon Qin Feng.
Qin Feng must know what the deal was with this ’peace of mind’ pill.
Furthermore, Yu Keqing decided to confront Qin Feng directly.
She had to ask that young man why he insisted she buy Ren’antang’s herbs.
She also needed to clarify the relationship between Qin Feng and Ren’antang.
Meanwhile.
As soon as Qin Feng returned to Zhonghai and was preparing to look for Xue Xiaochan, he received a call from Yu Keqing.
"What’s up?" he asked.
His tone carried a hint of impatience.
"Are you free tonight?"
"What for?"
"I’d like to invite you to dinner."
"To dinner? Just the two of us?"
"Yeah!"
"A candlelight dinner?"
"That’s right."
"I’ll think about it."
"You need to think about it? Think about what! Aren’t you getting too big for your britches? I’ll send you the address later, and if you dare not to show up, see how I’ll deal with you!"
Yu Keqing had intended to ask Qin Feng out gently, but the brat wasn’t giving her face.
Men are like that, shamelessly thick-skinned, you must be fierce to get through to them.
Beep beep beep...
Listening to the busy tone from the phone, Qin Feng knew that the woman had hung up.
All he could do was stick out his tongue, dumbfounded.
