Chapter Thirty-Seven Isn't Here for Sightseeing

  The young man thanked him with a grateful face and said "As you thought, this thing can't be eaten casually. My surname is Zhao. By the way, I haven't asked your honorable surname yet?"

  "My surname is Zhang, and my name is Zhang Tingmei. This bottle is what I usually drink myself, I don't know what you call it? Looking at how young you all are, you should still be students, right?"

  A woman with the surname Zhang took out a box from a large handbag under the table in the middle of the four people, and warmly smiled to ask Zuo Xiaoyao.

  "Not me," Hong Tian smiled faintly and replied, "My surname is Hong, hers is Xiao."

  Then, she took out a package of disposable paper cups that had been opened from her handbag and pulled out three small paper cups. The woman with the surname Zhang smiled again and said "Are you going on a trip? My home is in Wutaishan Huaitai Town, if you go to play at Wutaishan, I can be your guide..."

  She opened the box again, took out a light blue transparent glass bottle from inside and poured about one bottle cap of brown liquid into each of the three cups, which was approximately 10 milliliters. Then, the woman with the surname Zhang continued to say, "You should also try it, Mr. Zhao has been suffering from sub-health problems for a long time, so the effect of drinking this might be more obvious. You are still young now, but in modern society, who dares to guarantee that their body doesn't have some minor ailments here and there? If you don't pay attention, it's easy to develop into a serious illness without realizing it."

  "Right, right, thank you. Pharmacist Zhang works in a large hospital and must have seen many similar cases, so what he says is definitely reasonable."

  Mr. Zhao took over the disposable cup and said, then he drank the small amount of brown liquid in one gulp.

  After a brief pause, the man with the surname Zhao said with a surprised expression "It's true, this flavor, my colleague bought it and I've tried it before. After drinking it, you can feel a refreshing sensation, it will refresh your spirit, the effect is very obvious... You guys should try it too, really, this is produced by the xx pharmaceutical factory of Hongxin Group, the quality is guaranteed."

  "Hmm, Mr. Zhao knows so much about xx brand oral liquid!" Zhang Tingmei exclaimed in surprise.

  At the mention of this, Mr. Zhao's face was full of confidence "Of course, Hongxin Group is a well-known listed company in China, with businesses covering various industries, and its strength is very strong. Our company also has business dealings with them."

  Hongxin Group? Zuo Xiaoyao took a closer look at the box and found that apart from the name and logo of XX Factory, it also had the Hongxin Group's logo printed on it. With a complex emotion in her eyes, she picked up the cup placed in front of her by Zhang Tingmei and smiled, "Hongxin Group, it's actually quite famous. I've never tried this brand of oral liquid before, but since it's from Hongxin, I'll have to try its effect."

  In the confident and expectant gaze of the couple opposite, Zuo Xiao Yao picked up her cup and drank less than two milliliters. The taste was bitter with a hint of sweetness. Although she only had a small amount, based on her current understanding of some Chinese medicine, she could confirm that this contained a medicinal herb called Tushen root, which has the effect of invigorating the mind and benefiting Qi. Taking a small amount can have an energizing effect similar to coffee, but taking a large amount can produce effects similar to stimulants. It cannot be taken long-term, otherwise it will easily lead to addiction and cause significant harm to the body.

  This was when Zuo Xiao Yao first saw a simple illustration of Huang Jing in a book that introduced various plants in the Zi Yuan boundary, and remembered seeing it in her grandmother's hometown. Because most of the plants introduced in those books were ones that Zuo Xiao Yao had never seen or heard of before, at that time she made a special effort to search online for the uses and growth environment of Huang Jing, in order to compare with the introduction in the book.

  Later, after arriving at Shennongjia, she encountered the actual Turmeric Root again, and due to her vivid memory, she even personally tasted its flavor, which was very special, with a bitter taste accompanied by an earthy flavor, further deepening her impression of Turmeric Root. Therefore, Zuo Xiaoyao could identify at first glance that this brown medicine contained Turmeric Root; if she wasn't mistaken, online introductions had also mentioned that Turmeric Root is a special Chinese medicine whose mass production and sale are strictly prohibited by the state!

  Different voices put down the cup, picked up the box of oral liquid with a curious expression, and looked at it carefully. Zuo Xiao Yao asked on the side with some 'curiosity', "Is this oral liquid a medicine or a health supplement?"

  Although her eyes were filled with joy, Zhang Tingmei's face remained professional as she explained, "Health supplements are designed to regulate people's sub-healthy state and eliminate the hidden dangers of diseases in the body. While they can assist in treatment and enhance the immune system, they cannot actually cure illnesses, so they belong to health supplements."

  "Why isn't the food number here a healthy food number?"

  Along the position of Zuo Xiaoyao's pointing hand, Zhang Tingmei saw the batch number of the medicine and paused for a moment before responding with a bright smile: "There are many things going on here that I'm not convenient to reveal, but rest assured, this medicine is absolutely no problem. Just like Mr. Zhao said earlier, Hongxin Group has so many industries under it, and it's still a listed company, its reputation must be reliable. These medicines are all sold in specialty stores, one course of treatment costs nearly 10,000 yuan, I can get them at a low price because I have connections in the factory, guaranteeing they are genuine products. One course of treatment is three boxes, only 5,888 yuan, and if you buy more, there's a rebate every month, and by the end of the year, you'll even get dividends!"

  "Really! Just now, listening to your tone, I thought it would be much more expensive than in the mall, but unexpectedly, it's so much cheaper than the mall's discount. I heard that my colleague spent 9588 yuan for a course of treatment in the mall, and that was only possible through connections. Today, I met you, what a great luck! My next stop is approaching, hurry up and give me two sets, no, wait, let me take one set first, I don't have that much cash on me. Do you have any contact information? Leave it to me, so it's convenient for me to find you when I buy again in the future. My colleagues and classmates will definitely want some too. And, how do you calculate this rebate and dividend?"

  Mr. Zhao took out his wallet from his briefcase and prepared to pay while they were talking.

  Zhang Tingmei first took out another beautifully packaged box from her handbag, and then took out three exquisite business cards from her small bag, handing them to the three people, saying "Sorry, the rules for rebates and dividends need to be kept confidential, so I won't tell you directly now. After you buy it, contact me through the phone number on this card, and I will explain it in detail. Anyway, as long as your friends and family can buy a dozen or so sets, the rebate you get at that time is equivalent to getting this set for free. Mr. Luo and Miss Zuo, are you buying one set or two?"

  Hong Tian's calm and collected gaze swept over Zhang Tingmei's enthusiastic face, causing her smile to slightly freeze, as he replied faintly, "Not even one set is needed!"

  "Ah, uh, and what about Miss Zuo? This xx oral liquid is very suitable for us women to take, nourishing yin and beautifying, with a very significant effect!"

  Zuo Xiao Yao smiled warmly and replied "I don't have any money!"

  "Don't worry if you don't have money, Mr. Luo must have..."

  "Besides, I didn't plan to buy it anyway. Now that the country is cracking down on pyramid schemes and especially since this oral liquid contains banned drugs, you two should be more restrained! It's less harmful to people and more beneficial to social harmony!"

  She suppressed her smile, interrupting Zhang Tingmei's enthusiastic face, and Zuo Xiaoyao calmly added, as if she hadn't seen the two people opposite her with flushed faces, looking very flustered.

  In less than ten minutes, the train announced that it had arrived at a fairly large station. Ignoring the early collection of simple courtesy, the two people who were too embarrassed to even greet each other quickly got up and left. Luo Hongtian seriously commented, "These two are newcomers, although their acting skills are okay, but their own psychological quality is not high enough!"

  "It seems that Brother Luo is quite familiar with the roads here and has a lot of experience!"

  "That's right, isn't it a popular saying in modern society? Sales are everywhere! The more you walk around and meet people, the more you'll get used to it!"

  After getting off the train, they took a long-distance bus again and got off once more. Looking at the very eye-catching big signboard that read "Welcome to Wutai Mountain!", Zuo Xiaoyao smiled and teased, "Luo brother, are you sure we didn't come here for sightseeing?"
