Stepmother: I Am Asked To Give A Kidney To My Half-Brother

Chapter 359: Risks

Instead of dreaming of going to the capital and pursuing something that did not belong to him, he should know his place. When all was said and done, he just did not dare to take risks.

After all, this was not easy to come by.

“You should understand the principle of taking risks in the pursuit of wealth, right? If you want a high return, you have to take this gamble! Moreover, this matter isn’t considered big. Even if the truth is exposed, I have the ability to stop the higher-ups from continuing to investigate. Think about my Tang family’s status. Do you think anyone dares to deal with us openly? Even if someone who doesn’t know what’s good for them dares to come over, I can help you stop them!”

Tang Wenyi persuaded them. She needed an opportunity now. Whether she could keep her word or not, she just had to say it in the best way! Anyway, it was beneficial to her plan to get them to agree first even if they wanted to go back on their word later!

Hence, she continued, “Even if you encounter people with some background, you’ll at most be given a warning by the higher-ups. I can definitely get you out of trouble in the shortest time possible. Therefore, I’m basically the one taking the risk. What’s there to worry about?”

Everyone present was tempted! In the face of such great profits, what was conscience worth? This society was only suitable for businessmen like them who only had profits in mind. Otherwise, they would probably have been eaten clean by others! Besides, how much was conscience worth?

Lei Jiacheng could not help but nod in agreement with Tang Wenyi’s point of view. As expected, he had not misjudged her. They were all just as bad as each other! He had thought that Third Miss was protected too well by the Tang family and was like a lamb that had accidentally entered the cold and heartless business world. He did not expect that after not seeing her for a while, she had become much more meticulous.

He looked at his wife beside him and asked intimately, “Xiaojing, what do you think? I think it’s not bad. We can try to cooperate with Third Miss. We don’t have anything to lose anyway. We might even be able to make a huge profit. It can make up for the shortfall in the company a while ago.”

For a moment, everyone looked at her. Lu Yaohua was even more excited than the people directly involved. He kept shouting in his heart, “Agreed! You must agree!” He did not want his wishful thinking to fail. If he was stuck here, he would have nowhere to go!

Xu Xiaojing pondered for a moment and echoed, “Alright! Then let’s do as Wenyi says. But what exactly do we need to do? There seem to be very few medicines that are neither harmful to the body nor effective, right? They are mostly tonics, so the price is a little too expensive. Besides, we won’t be able to earn much. I’m afraid those people won’t buy it.”

If one took too much low-quality medicine, it would easily cause problems. If someone died, the reputation that Xingwei Medical Group had built over the years would be destroyed! If a company producing fake medicine was exposed, would it still be able to operate? It was really difficult to find a happy balance.

“Then mix in some starch. But the prescription that’s made public is some kind of tonic. Wouldn’t that do?”

Tang Wenyi blurted out. It was as if she had already expected the other party to ask such a question, so she had prepared in advance. In fact, that was indeed the case. For this cooperation, she had specially spent a week preparing. She was confident that no matter what question they raised, she would be able to answer them smoothly!

“It doesn’t matter how low the price is. At the very least, the right to set the price is in our hands. This thing is a huge profit. Moreover, the market is extremely big and covers the entire country. When the disease breaks out on a large scale, what do you think those people will do to survive? Even if they don’t want to buy it, they have to!”

She gave her ex-husband a look. Lu Yaohua flattered her by saying, “Then isn’t Xingwei Medical Group the savior in their eyes? Although the medicine is fake, Big Brother and Sister-in-law give them comfort and become their spiritual support. In that case, we’re doing a good thing! People are panicking. Perhaps many of them are frightened?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Jiacheng immediately laughed and said, “You’re still as good at talking as ever, but you’re right. Perhaps someone really recovers after taking our medicine? Then we’re considered to have contributed to society! They can’t wait to thank us!”

As Lei Jiacheng was bragging, he naturally felt a little smug. He even believed from the bottom of his heart that he had done nothing wrong.

“Speaking of which, may I know who the Tang family’s connections in the medical system are? Someone who wields great power—could it be the director of the Beijing Medical Products Administration?”

Even though Xu Xiaojing was also very excited, she still kept a tight rein on her rationality. This made her look like the calmest person in the private room.

Tang Wenyi shook her head and curled her lips mysteriously. She said, “The head of the Beijing Medical Products Administration is not qualified! If he is discovered by the higher-ups, he will have to leave his current position. How can he protect us? You should guess someone even higher. The Tang family spent a lot of effort to build this relationship.”

Even higher?!

The three of them gasped. As expected of the Tang family? Their connections were stronger than they had imagined! Lei Jiacheng saw Lu Yaohua looking equally surprised and thought to himself, This couple has lived together for so long, but my good brother still doesn’t know about this. Tang Wenyi… She hid it well! Perhaps what happened in the past was just pretense.

It was really terrifying!

Little did he know that Tang Wenyi had only figured out these connections recently. In the past, she only wanted to be a rich man’s wife and did not want to spend any effort on family matters. However, the current situation no longer allowed her to slack off. If she wanted to survive in a big family that schemed against each other, she had to compete and fight!

Also… Her son was waiting for her in prison! Her firm resolve kept her going as she gathered all kinds of information related to the Tang family day and night. Coincidentally, she came across a big shot that the family had worked hard to build relationships with over the years. The other party was also the key chess piece that she needed the most at this moment!

“Could, could it be the director of the National Medical Products Administration?”

Xu Xiaojing asked tentatively.

“No, it has to go further up.”

They couldn’t think of anyone higher! In their opinion, the director of the National Medical Products Administration was the head of this circle!?Who could have a higher official position than this person? It couldn’t be… a high-ranking official, right?!?Thinking of this, their pupils dilated.?It couldn’t be true, right?

This was the only possibility left!

“Wen… Wen Yi…”

Hearing how Lu Yaohua addressed her, Tang Wenyi couldn’t help but glare at him in disgust.
