Chapter 1180 — I'll Have a Talk with Him
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"I don't like Yufeng at all!" Qiu Lingshan shook her head. "But when I told Grandfather, he wouldn't listen. All I can do is put him off for a while and hope this Yufeng will back down when he sees the difficulties ahead!"
"I see. In that case, if I meet Yufeng, I'll have a talk with him and make everything clear, and hope he gives up on his own!" Chen Yuxuan knew well enough about marriages between the great families; but if both parties objected, dissolving an engagement was not impossible.
So Chen Yuxuan thought: Xie Yufeng and Qiu Lingshan had barely even had any contact. If he went to talk with him, he ought to be able to let go. Besides, they were both men — some things were easier said man to man. He himself could let go, so why not Yufeng?
"Brother Yutian, it's better if you don't go about this. I don't have a good impression of this Yufeng, and I don't think he's an easy man to deal with, so just leave him be. After he runs into a few walls, he'll probably give up on his own." Qiu Lingshan knew Chen Yuxuan's temper, and feared that if he truly got into it with Yufeng, he would be no match for him.
"Don't worry, I know my limits!" Chen Yuxuan said.
"Then how about this — if after some time he still won't give up, you go to him?" Qiu Lingshan had no choice but to stall.
"That works too! If after a while he still won't give up, I'll go have a talk with him!" Chen Yuxuan nodded and said.

Doctor Guan's Trauma Medicine — with the eager expectation of the masses behind it, and with the trading companies of the Liu family and Fatty Lai as its backing, it began large-scale distribution in the market without any pressure, its sales climbing steadily. Especially after its efficacy was confirmed by the consumers, sales doubled again!
Yet with a supply load like that, Fatty Lai was delighted and at the same time forced to take out loans to rush investment into new production lines. At this rate, the stockpile he had built up earlier would be exhausted before long — and once that happened, the market would see shortages.
Though this would create a situation of demand outstripping supply, it would also breed some resentment among consumers toward Doctor Guan's Trauma Medicine; shortages always leave people unhappy. So to prevent that, Fatty Lai gathered his people and began working overtime without pause to expand capacity.
At this rate, the new product had not even gone into production and already had to make way for the current trauma medicine. Even after capacity was expanded, there would probably be no spare production lines to make the new medicine, the analgesic. To satisfy the nation's demand for the trauma medicine alone would already be quite an achievement.
This too was beyond Fatty Lai's expectations. He had not imagined that the trauma medicine would be an instant hit, making its mark across the entire country. He had meant only to push it into the market within the province and the neighboring ones, but he had underestimated the power of today's internet. As things stood, Doctor Guan's Trauma Medicine was known to every household.
And all Fatty Lai could do was expand, and expand again, endlessly expanding production lines to meet the market's demand.
