The next morning, Qiao Yin went to work as usual.
The charity auction was scheduled for the 31st of May. The funds raised would be donated entirely to impoverished children on Children’s Day, the 1st of June, helping them to recover from illnesses and fund their education.
Thus, everyone was too busy to rest, weary and sore from the effort.
After lunch, Qiao Yin overheard conversations among her colleagues.
“Zheng, how are you back to work so soon? Has your back injury healed?”
“Yes, it’s all good now.”
“Which hospital did you go to? Wasn’t it mentioned before that you would need a month to recover? It’s only been a few days, though?”
“Initially, I went to the city hospital, but my back still hurt and the medication wasn’t helping. So, I decided to go to Lan’s Hospital. It’s a renowned private hospital; it was expensive, but the doctors were incredible. They prescribed me a pill that relieved my back pain; I recovered in just a few days!”
“Relieving Pill? Wasn’t that pharmaceutical company declared bankrupt? How do they have the Relieving Pill?”
“Oh, it’s not the same company that used to sell it. The Relieving Pill has been renamed as Strengthening Pill and is now produced by Lan’s Hospital. The medicine and packaging have been upgraded, but the effect is the same. It’s particularly effective, but hard to find outside; only Lan’s Hospital stocks it now.”
“The Relieving Pill is back on the market? That’s excellent! I need to go to Lan’s Hospital and buy a few boxes. The work intensity these days has been immense. I’ve been lifting things constantly and have a terrible backache!”
“You should indeed buy it. This medicine truly works and has no side effects. The old pharmaceutical company that sold the Relieving Pills deserved to go bankrupt. The owner saw that the medicine was selling well and promptly increased the price to 200 per box; so greedy! Lan’s Hospital sells it for just 80 per box, much more considerate!”
“You only found out about this medicine later, didn’t you? Actually, the pill was initially sold for 40 per box. Lan’s Hospital is now selling it for double the original price, hardly more considerate.”
Qiao Yin was initially a bit drowsy, but listening to her colleagues’ discussions, she was instantly fully awake.
She asked a colleague for a look at the so-called “Strengthening Pill” and saw that the ingredients were exactly the same as the Relieving Pill. She opened the pill bottle, took out a pill, and sniffed it; the smell was also the same.
She felt a chill from head to toe.
She returned the medicine to her colleague and hurriedly went outside, whipping out her mobile phone to call Qiao Haidong.
The call connected, and Qiao Haidong’s voice, groggy from drink, came from the other end, “What’s up? I’m busy over here!”
Qiao Yin’s hand trembled as she held her phone, “Dad, did you sell the Relieving Pill formula to Lan Yuyi?”
Qiao Haidong responded nonchalantly, “What? Isn’t the recipe with you? How could I sell it?”
“Stop playing innocent with me! I know you’re aware of the recipe. Lan Yuyi’s hospital is currently selling medicine identical to the Relieving Pill, just under a different name. They couldn’t possibly know the recipe unless you spilled it to them!”
“How are you talking to your father? Accusing me of playing innocent? You’re the real pretender! Pretending to be high-minded! We can’t even put food on the table at home, yet you’re still sitting on the recipe tightly, refusing to sell it.”
Seeing he couldn’t hide the matter any longer, Qiao Haidong simply admitted, “You wouldn’t sell it, so I did! Yes, I sold it! So what?”
“You have no right to sell it. The recipe was mom’s and the patent is now mine. You have no authority to make this transaction!”
“The deed is done; what’s the point of discussing it now? Your mother-in-law offered ten million for it. If I didn’t sell it, I’d be a fool! You talked a big game, promising to pay off my debt. What happened? How much money did you give me, in the end? Should I rely on you? I’d have been beaten to death by the debt collectors long ago!”
“Ten million?”
No wonder her brother mentioned their family had recently come into a significant sum of money and had become financially stable. So, the money came from selling the formula!
No wonder Qiao Haidong had been quiet recently. He neither borrowed money from Madame Lu anymore nor called her day and night urging her to give him the money..
