Chapter 2346: Chapter 2160: Don’t Look for Me Anymore_5

"Is it a wise choice for you, as a well-known herbal tea brand that has been in business for over ten years, to say something like this to a fledgling brand? Are you aware that you’re creating trouble for your marketing and public relations teams?" Zhang Yanran said to He Guangyi.

"In that case, there’s nothing more for us to discuss, Miss Lu. Please convey to Mr. Song that I hope he considers this carefully. As I said before, I hope Mr. Song won’t let money slip away." He Guangyi said to Lu Yaobing, spreading his hands.

"If that’s the case, you should go and speak with my master directly!"

Lu Yaobing, Zhang Yanran, Dragon Three, and Xu Maosheng left the tea house and headed straight to the second floor of the herbal medicine wholesale distribution center, where General Manager Xu Maosheng personally led Lu Yaobing to purchase medicine.

"Boss, I need these, these, these, these, and these." Lu Yaobing listed a long string of herbal medicine names, including specific quality requirements.

"Miss, you’ve clearly already inquired once before. We don’t have the quality of herbal medicine you’re asking for, and even if we did, we wouldn’t have this quantity." The herbal medicine shop owner said to Lu Yaobing.

"Really, you don’t?" Xu Maosheng emerged from behind Lu Yaobing.

"Oh my, Manager Xu, how come you have time to come to the second floor?" The herbal medicine shop owner greeted Xu Maosheng very warmly.

"Miss Lu here is a friend of mine. Can you do me a favor and reserve some of the herbal medicine stock for her?" Xu Maosheng said to the herbal medicine shop owner.

"Manager Xu, I’m really sorry, but Miss Lu needs the herbal medicine stock that’s already been sold out for the whole year. I’m currently worried about how to deliver next year’s installment, as I really don’t have any extras!" The herbal medicine shop owner replied, troubled.

"Is that so? Well, alright then. I just wanted to let you know that I don’t plan to rent this place to you next year." Xu Maosheng said to the herbal medicine shop owner.

"Ah? Manager Xu, please don’t joke with me..." The herbal medicine shop owner said to Xu Maosheng.

"Do I look like I’m joking with you? You’re still calling me Manager Xu, and I don’t even have this bit of respect?" Xu Maosheng’s face suddenly turned cold.

"Manager Xu..."

"Miss Lu, there’s a herbal tea factory line that’s continuously running, and the supply of raw herbal materials cannot be interrupted. There’s only this single production line, and I won’t fleece you, but you need to offer me something. Otherwise, I’ll either raise your rent or rent this shop to someone else." Xu Maosheng said to the herbal medicine shop owner.

"Alright, alright, since Manager Xu has spoken, I don’t have much choice. I will have to visit the few herbal medicine production areas more often. However, Manager Xu, to be honest, I really don’t have much excess stock, but I’ve heard that Boss Zhang across from us has stored quite a bit of good supply. I think Manager Xu and Miss Lu should perhaps take a look across the street." The herbal medicine shop owner figured there was no escape anyhow, so he decided to drag his opposite neighbor down with him.

Then Xu Maosheng used the same method to cordially interact with several other herbal medicine shop owners, successfully helping Lu Yaobing purchase a batch of herbal medicine that met her standards.

This time, the herbal medicine Song Xiaodong sent Lu Yaobing to buy wasn’t for making beverages but to produce more effective weight-loss tea. However, Song Xiaodong didn’t intend for Lu Yaobing to sign long-term supply agreements with herbal medicine suppliers; he just wanted to purchase a batch of herbs for experimentation and trial production.

So, despite buying a lot of herbs, the total amount was far from meeting the needs of a continuously running production line. If Song Xiaodong plans to launch another new weight-loss tea product that’s more effective in the future, a long-term supply agreement with these suppliers and a meticulous procurement plan would be needed again.

After buying the herbs, Lu Yaobing and Dragon Three contentedly returned to Chu Xianling’s house, but Chu Xianling wasn’t home; she was at the Chu family mansion attending a social gathering. Finding it uninteresting, Lu Yaobing urged Dragon Three to go out and play with her, wanting to visit the Beijing Drum Tower, which she had mentioned yesterday while with Zhang Yanhong and others.

The Beijing Ancient Tower is a nationally important heritage-protected site, consisting of two ancient buildings forming a group, located on Di’anmen Street in Beijing, magnificent and imposing.

The Drum Tower was a very important public infrastructure in ancient cities, with nearly every large city having one; its main function was timekeeping, akin to today’s time centers, and during the Qing Dynasty, the ancient tower would strike its drum every two hours.

Chapter 2164: Drum Tower

Lu Yaobing stood below the Drum Tower, looking up at the square, crimson structure that resembled a solid ancient seal, feeling an overwhelming pressure.

In fact, the Drum Tower is just an ancient building, and Lu Yaobing came mainly because of Zhao Lei’s song "Drum Tower."

Dragon Three followed Lu Yaobing silently, doing his job as a bodyguard, trying not to disturb her. Gradually, Lu Yaobing got used to having a bodyguard with her, standing atop the Drum Tower, watching the traffic below, and started humming openly.
