Ephedra Syrup sold like hot cakes in Dragonville. In less than three days, it had completely replaced Alstom Antibiotic.
Because of the incident, the share prices of Maritime Ocean Pharma in Jade City plummeted. It had fallen by billions in market value, which threw the whole company into distress.
In the past few days, Loomis Chiang had been contacting the headquarters of Maritime Ocean Pharma and Bald Eagle Pharma to discuss the countermeasures for the situation. In doing so, he finally managed to calm down somewhat.
In the office, he hung up the phone. After a moment of silence, he waved his hand and called Henry Hu over, saying, "I want to meet Fade. Tell him that I have something to discuss with him."
When Henry heard this, he was startled and said softly, "Director Chiang, do you really want to meet Fade? I'm afraid that he is currently-"
Loomis said, "Just say that I have something beneficial for him, a huge proposal. In the face of such a massive profit, I don't believe that he won't be tempted."
Henry still wanted to say something, but when he saw Loomis's cold eyes, he immediately swallowed his words and nodded. "Okay, I'll go immediately."
Loomis nodded, then called his secretary and ordered, "Ask the driver to wait for me at the entrance of the company. I'm going to the airport to pick someone up."
The secretary hesitated and said, "Director Chiang, it may not be convenient at the entrance of the company. Why don't we ask the driver to wait for you at the back door?"
Hearing this, Loomis was furious and he yelled, "I am the director of Maritime Ocean Pharma. Why can't I use the company's entrance? Do you have anything against me?"
The secretary explained, "No, of course not. Paint and manure have been splashed at the entrance of the company, and we haven't cleaned it yet, so-"
Hearing this, Loomis remembered that he and his company had become targets of hatred in Dragonville. Everyone despised them.
Not only was the front door of the company splashed with faeces, but even Loomis's car had been splashed with manure.
He knitted his eyebrows. He said, "Then let's leave through the back door."
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away!" the secretary replied.
The next morning, the second floor was once again reserved in the busy Harmony Hotel in the center of Dragonville.
However, it was not Fade Chen, but Loomis Chiang who had reserved it.
Loomis kept glancing at his watch as he sat in the room. He couldn't help frowning and he said, "Why hasn't Fade arrived yet? This Chen person is so arrogant."
Beside him, Henry explained in a low voice, "Director Chiang, there are still ten minutes before the appointed time."
"Moreover, Young Master Calvin showed up half an hour late the last time he was supposed to meet Fade. I'm worried that Fade might..." Henry stopped talking.
Loomis immediately understood Henry's meaning and said unhappily, "You mean, Fade will be deliberately late this time in order to get back at us."
Considering this, Loomis wanted to leave. Nevertheless, when he thought of the task assigned by his cousin, he could only sit and wait anxiously.
As time went by, Loomis looked at his watch again and again. Every minute felt like an eternity.
Until the last minute, there was still no sign of Fade. Loomis's face darkened. He gritted his teeth and whispered, "Is Fade really playing tricks with me?"
