Fatty Zhang is really something. He obviously came to bully Li Jingsheng, yet he turns around and bites back.
"Exactly, exactly. Our Furuiduo Pharmacy only sold less than five hundred bucks worth of medicine today. Not even enough for rent."
The female boss chimed in to help.
"Boss Liu also sold five hundred yuan of medicine, and I’m not afraid of being laughed at. We at Huimin Pharmacy almost got nothing!"
Another boss joined in the lament.
Li Jingsheng watched these people play the poverty card, his mouth twitching involuntarily.
"I’m just puzzled. Everyone’s doing their own business, how does Sunshine Clinic selling medicine affect you all?"
"There’s only so many customers on this street, mostly locals and tenants. Your clinic has good business, sells lots of medicine, and the customers who would’ve come to our pharmacies are buying from you. Naturally, our business suffers. It’s such a simple truth, Boss Li, why play dumb?"
Fatty Zhang glared and spoke gruffly.
"Hmph, then let me ask, when my Sunshine Clinic was practically drinking northwest wind every day, none of you seemed to feel bad, huh? Back then, why were you all so comfortable?"
Li Jingsheng angrily clashed against their warped logic.
Someone is definitely instigating trouble.
What about it?
The market is inherently competitive, and only the fittest survive.
"We’re not asking much. We just want you not to sell medicine for replenishing blood, energy, or brain power," the female boss surnamed Liu said.
"Boss Liu, is it?"
Li Jingsheng focused on her relatively delicate face.
"Yes! My name is Liu, Liu Qingqing."
She introduced herself with a hint of pride.
"Do you have brain supplements at your place?"
Li Jingsheng asked her.
"Yes!"
She hesitated before answering, unsure why Li Jingsheng was asking this.
"If what you’re selling are genuine, I’d suggest you take some yourself. If the brand isn’t that great, Sunshine Clinic has big-brand brain supplements, they’re quite effective, feel free to choose from us."
Li Jingsheng said earnestly.
Insulting without using offensive words, this is the highest level of arguing.
This woman is quite lively, not serving an example might make these people think Li Jingsheng is easy to talk to.
The others were momentarily stunned, then Xiaogao unkindly let out a laugh.
Quickly, the others followed suit, laughing.
"You..."
She was so angry her face turned green.
"Asking me not to sell medicines for replenishing energy, blood, brain power, then what should I sell? Such ignorant and rude demands, it’s amazing you can propose them so calmly. You better take some medicine to rejuvenate that brain of yours."
Li Jingsheng’s aura surged immediately.
"We came to you with the attitude of peace bringing wealth, why are you insulting us?"
"Don’t refuse the toast only to drink a forfeit."
"Give face yet refuse to accept it, then don’t blame us for being harsh."
"Young people shouldn’t be so reckless, or you’ll regret it."
Several pharmacy owners angrily rebuked Li Jingsheng.
"Who’s going to make me drink a forfeit? Boss Cheng from Huimin Pharmacy, is it you? Come on, I love drinking forfeit, pour me a drink and let’s see."
