Chapter 845 — Hiring a Spokesperson
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"He's probably lost a fortune lately. He came off badly in the shantytown demolition and can't expect to make much there, so it's understandable he'd start looking for other ways to turn a profit." Wei Zhao seemed to have guessed Zhao Qibing's purpose. "That so-called Medicine King does have some real skill in healing. But that sort of thing takes two to tango — it's no concern of ours."
"Right, so let's just leave him be. For now, it has nothing to do with us anyway!" Lai the Fatso nodded as well.
However Zhao Qibing might jump about, so long as he did not provoke Wei Zhao, it did not matter. Wei Zhao merely laughed it off, because more important matters were waiting for him — the first batch of products from Miracle Doctor Guan Medicine was about to hit the market.
"Never mind him. Didn't you come to me to talk about the product launch?" Wei Zhao had been quite idle these past few days. The business with Tang Zhi's family was settled, and as for Zhong Yongliang and An Liwen, who knew whether those two had even been discharged from the hospital yet. Zhao Qibing had quieted down considerably too, and Zou Ruoming, whenever he ran into Wei Zhao at school, was more fawning than he would be with his own father. So Wei Zhao had enjoyed a few relaxed days.
Every day it was nothing more than accompanying the young miss and Little Shu to and from school, and meeting Tang Zhi between classes. The days passed plain and unhurried.
This was the life Wei Zhao yearned for — no quarrels day after day, the chance to stand guard over the people he cared for, quietly savoring the little moments of life.
Wei Zhao did not know how long such days could last. If it were possible, he hoped they would go on forever.
Yet though life rippled not at all and left him feeling very much at ease, deep in his heart Wei Zhao remained constantly on guard. Yu Kun had gone back home, and no matter how one looked at it, letting the tiger return to the mountain always left Wei Zhao with a sense of trouble yet to come — it was only that the Yu family had made no move for the time being.
As for Zhao Qibing, Wei Zhao did not believe he would simply let it go either. Who knew whether he might not dream up some bizarre new trick to use against him?
"Yes, the first batch of our wound medicine is fully prepared and ready to go on the market at any time," said Lai the Fatso. "But when our company opened, we never held any ceremony. Miracle Doctor Guan Medicine may enjoy considerable fame now, but for a new product launch, we really ought to hold a press conference!"
"A press conference? That much trouble?" Wei Zhao had not imagined that putting a product on the market required such a complicated process.
"That's right. Really it's just a way of showing off the company's strength — like the completion ceremony Zhao Qibing's real estate company held for its tower." Lai the Fatso was an expert in business, so he spoke of such things fluently. "Except that his completion ceremony happened to get wrecked by us."
"I see. Then you decide." Wei Zhao felt that as an absentee boss he was hardly doing his duty, knowing nothing at all about business. Without Lai the Fatso, this little brother he had met by chance along the way, it would have been hard for him and Guan Xuewen to hold the company up on their own.
"Good, then it's decided." Lai the Fatso nodded. "Since we've already built up plenty of momentum, now is the perfect opportunity to launch. Once our product reaches the market, plenty of media outlets will give us free publicity... Though, judging by what most companies do, at a new product launch we'd generally invite a celebrity to drum up excitement..."
"A celebrity? You know any?" Wei Zhao was not much interested in celebrities and rarely watched television. To him, those stars were not half as adorable as the girls at home.
