CHAPTER 883: CHAPTER 859: WE’LL TALK LATER

Zhang the Fatty watched as President Feng left and as He Lina directed the staff to serve the food.

He followed them inside as well.

"Big bro, big bro, I really offended you last time, it was my mistake, and I apologize for it!"

Upon seeing Hao Zhigang, he was ready to kneel dramatically.

Hao Zhigang waved it off, "Zhang the Fatty, enough, you already gave me lots of gifts last time. Let’s call it even, especially since you stood up for me just now and helped me vent my anger. The old grudges between us are nothing, it’s just over a woman anyway."

Zhang the Fatty climbed up with a grin.

"Big bro! Big bro, you’re like a real brother to me. Rest assured, if you ever need my service, just say the word, and I promise to get it done for you. If there’s any good business, give me a hand, too."

Zhang the Fatty is no fool. Don’t be deceived by his usual bullying and swaggering ways; he’s quite sharp and slick. If he weren’t, how could he cling to Zhang Shaojie’s leg and climb this high?

That’s not something an ordinary person could achieve.

After all, he’s not Zhang Shaojie’s real brother; he’s a distant cousin living high on the hog next to Zhang Shaojie; that takes real skill.

"Oh, come on, your Zhang family is so wealthy and powerful, and you need our little Hao family for a hand up? Doesn’t saying that make you feel guilty? You can casually take out hundreds of thousands, even millions.

We poor folks... let me tell you, my pockets are emptier than my face, not a penny, as poor as a church mouse."

Hao Zhigang patted his pockets, and that was the truth.

Zhang the Fatty took out a bank card and placed it in front of Hao Zhigang with a smile.

"Brother, what are you saying? Are you teasing me? One Super-grade Youthful Appearance Pill from Yixin Hall went for 2 million at auction.

If you don’t have money, then who does? You’re not making me feel bad, are you? If there’s no money in your pocket, then it’s yours for the taking. Here’s fifty thousand on this card, just spend it as you need. If you need more, just say the word.

There’s not much I can do, but when it comes to money, I’m willing to help."

Zhang the Fatty wished Hao Zhigang would accept it right away.

Once he took the money, things would be easy; this business would be a sure thing, and this thigh to hold onto was definitely his.

Hao Zhiqiang was dumbfounded.

This Zhang the Fatty was no good guy.

Even if he’d never seen what kind of grudge Zhang the Fatty had with his brother, he’d heard that Zhang the Fatty’s reputation wasn’t good.

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong, grabbing and plundering!

Now he’s showering his brother with compliments and throwing money at him.

Sigh, turns out this Super-grade Youthful Appearance Pill is so potent. Look at the chain reaction it caused, just from tossing one pill around.

When did the heirs of the Hao family get to enjoy such things outside their home?

Hao Zhigang pushed the bank card back.

"Zhang the Fatty, why are you so serious? I was just joking. I’m not really short of money. Frankly speaking, I just asked President Feng to prepare for another auction; our Youthful Appearance Pill is going back on the auction block.

This time, two hundred pills! After this round, who knows when the next chance to buy such a Super-grade Youthful Appearance Pill will be!"

Hao Zhigang poured a glass of red wine and took a sip, but it tasted like nothing special.

Zhang the Fatty hurriedly peeled shrimp for Hao Zhigang, putting the shrimp meat onto his plate.

"Bro, why so sudden? Is the Alchemist not working anymore?"

"If he feels underpaid, just give him a raise. One of these pills goes for 2 million. As long as he can keep making them, you don’t know how big this market is! People nowadays aren’t the same as before. Those rich women’s wives and the rich people’s wives all want this Youthful Appearance Pill!

This pill keeps you young, can fix facial flaws, turn single eyelids into double, make small eyes big, and change dark skin to white, that’s for sure, like a layer of pigment.

They have to keep using it, it’s a consumable; not using it for three to five months, they’ll revert back, it’s indeed a surefire profit."

Zhang the Fatty had spotted a business opportunity long ago.

He couldn’t wait to get a piece of it.

"What are you thinking? My aunt is our family’s Alchemist, how could she quit? Besides, my aunt doesn’t do it for money. My aunt has noble morals; she does it for research, for medicine, got it?

Such lofty ideals, yet you accused her of being a greedy opportunist. You deserve a beating."

Zhang the Fatty felt relieved, thinking he’d gotten him talking.

Aunt!

Hao Zhigang’s aunt!

Was it the girl Hao Zhigang was running around serving like a bootlicker that day?

She was so young; how could she be an aunt?

Could Hao Zhigang be deceiving him?

"Bro, stop fooling me, why does your aunt look younger than you? Your family’s seniors are so unreliable."

"What do you know? Don’t you know our family sells elixirs? My aunt’s especially talented in this field, who do you think made the Youthful Appearance Pill?"

Hao Zhigang was smug, didn’t even need an excuse.

Zhang the Fatty shut up instantly, even slapped himself.

"Big bro, see this mouth of mine, of course, there’s Youthful Appearance skills there. So why didn’t your aunt come today?"

Zhang the Fatty wanted to get close to Jiang Xiaoxiao, was he having thoughts?

He wouldn’t dare if he had ten guts. Of course, he hoped to meet this aunt. Naturally, to get closer, build good relations, and only then had a chance to cooperate.

"My aunt is busy making medicine at home. How could she be bothered by these trifles? In my aunt’s eyes, there’s only her medicine, medical skills, and alchemy, nothing else can capture her attention.

So she entrusted all these outside affairs to me to handle on my own. Didn’t you see me bringing my brothers along? My aunt told us nephews to work hard."

"Of course! Of course!"

Zhang the Fatty’s mind was focused on the fact that this aunt was home making medicine; it appeared this aunt was indeed skilled.

"Bro! Though we met under awkward circumstances, I truly admire you. Even though your family wasn’t well-off back then, you had integrity, a backbone not everyone has.

Bro, when I saw you, I thought you had a noble spirit. See, I wasn’t wrong, was I? Big bro! I can tell both you and your aunt are capable. I guess you’re planning to open a shop next?

How about we cooperate, and I’ll invest in you?"

Hao Zhigang rolled his eyes, wishful thinking.

Among the eight major pharmacist families, the Zhang family was the lowest.

He wants to ride on their Hao family’s coattails to revitalize their Zhang family.

"We’ll see about that! Maybe in the future."
