He was about to let them go, so in his eyes, these people were nothing but dregs. To bother with dregs, he thought, would be beneath him.
So he decided to let these guys off the hook, not wanting to stoop to their level.
"If you choose to do that, it means you truly understand," a voice said from within Ye Tiancheng's body. Hearing this, Ye Tiancheng couldn't help but laugh, finding the voice both infuriating and amusing. How could he not be sure of his own affairs? Since he was confident, why bother explaining so much? It was unnecessary.
"I think you should think about it carefully, so I really want to make it clear to you what my intentions are." Ye Tiancheng meant for him to understand how resolute he was in his stance.
At this moment, Huang Bai and Huang Shiren were acting meek and subservient, fearing that Ye Tiancheng might become displeased and make things difficult for them.
"I believe the reason for this is that the first thing I must do is punish your transgressions, because you two have disappointed me greatly. If you stand in my way and hinder me, delaying my time, I have decided to spare you. From now on, you will bear the infinite consequences for everything you have done. You should be mentally prepared for this."
Having said this, Ye Tiancheng prepared to make them pay the price, which was to help him sell his bitter vegetables.
Seeing that Ye Tiancheng wanted their help, the two couldn't help but force a bitter smile, the pressure in their hearts surging.
The consequences they faced were of their own making.
"What is it? You're unwilling to accept my terms?" Ye Tiancheng asked, seeing their crestfallen expressions, and let out a cold laugh.
Seeing Ye Tiancheng laugh, they became extremely distressed and fearful. They looked at him, their faces contorted as if they were beggars.
"I know it's difficult for you, and you're unwilling to accept my terms, but what choice do you have among my people? If you can defeat me, then I am willing to accept your terms, unconditionally, of course."
"How could it be unconditional acceptance? Many things are beyond our abilities and limits. If that's the case, I'd rather die." Huang Bai laughed helplessly.
He hadn't expected Huang Bai to dare refuse his request. This was probably because he thought his life was too long. Ye Tiancheng slapped him a few more times and then asked, "In front of me, you are not worthy of discussing terms. You only have the option to accept them. If you can defeat me, I will accept your terms, and unconditionally."
Therefore, Ye Tiancheng gave him no chance. In his eyes, there was only the option of accepting his terms. This way, Huang family, who had the ability to handle Ye Tiancheng's various sales channels, could help with his medicinal herb business. Originally, before Ye Tiancheng met these two troublesome individuals, he would have had to visit each business one by one. But now, their appearance saved him a lot of time and cost. This could be considered a blessing in disguise, a stroke of luck for Ye Tiancheng!
"Really, you shouldn't have provoked this jinx. He even dared to offend the Hou family, let alone your Huang family?" At this moment, a voice sounded in their ears. This person was Yang Xiao'er.
Yang Xiao'er, the owner of Huiyang Hall, knew Ye Tiancheng's story, so he felt compelled to remind them at this moment.
Therefore, after this, they had only one choice.
That was to accept this tragic reality indefinitely.
If they hadn't heard Yang Xiao'er's words, they might still have felt resentful, but after listening to Yang Xiao'er, all their conditions vanished instantly.
Thus, they accepted this unacceptable reality.
"I really can't stand it! But this is truly a last resort."
"A last resort is still a resort." Ye Tiancheng looked at Huang Bai, finding him very amusing.
"Do you have any objections now?" Ye Tiancheng said to them.
Hearing Ye Tiancheng's words, they immediately had no objections. On the contrary, if they still had objections, they would truly be seeking death.
So they had no objections.
"That's right." Ye Tiancheng chuckled and said, "If you still have any objections, I'll make you fly."
The implication was that Ye Tiancheng would kill the father and son.
Ye Tiancheng had done this before. In the back mountain of Xiaohe Village, he had personally removed two obstacles.
In the face of powerful individuals, they were like ants.
This world is very realistic – big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp.
Those without ability are destined for tragedy.
This world operates by the law of the jungle; no one will pity your weakness; they will only step on your back.
Ye Tiancheng used his power to coldly tell these two fellows the truth. Therefore, any opposition from them was invalid. They could only live by accepting his terms. If they opposed him, they would perish without a burial place. Understanding this, the two looked at each other and agreed to Ye Tiancheng's terms. Seeing that they had finally accepted, Ye Tiancheng walked over and patted Huang Bai's shoulder, saying:
"You are very realistic, but you haven't truly understood. I am educating you on how to conduct yourselves. If a person doesn't know how to behave, their aspirations for success in this life will be pathetic..."
In their hearts, they wanted to curse Ye Tiancheng's mother, but they dared not.
How could they dare to do such a thing? The situation was different now; they were like grandchildren.
"Then, these matters will be left to you. Your profit will be about one-tenth of my profit."
"One-tenth?" Huang Bai felt like crying. To say this out loud without him being killed felt unbearable.
They shouldn't have shown such an expression in front of Ye Tiancheng. The moment they did, it meant they were on the verge of death.
"This is terrible!" At this moment, the father and son realized Ye Tiancheng was enraged.
"If you follow my words, you will achieve something. Don't put on such an expression," Ye Tiancheng said with a cold smile.
"Then, what do you want?"
"I don't want anything, I just want you to understand that in such a situation, if you think you can become a master, you are greatly mistaken." Ye Tiancheng burst into laughter.
His laughter carried a strong sense of superiority.
In an instant, their worldview collapsed. They hadn't expected Ye Tiancheng to be so unforgiving and to treat them as objects to be bullied. Therefore, the two of them were extremely angry, their eyes burning with fire.
Under these circumstances, they could only reluctantly accept Ye Tiancheng's various forms of bullying. Perhaps these issues would make them understand better that in front of Ye Tiancheng, any slight disturbance would lead to greater hardship. Therefore, Huang Shiren immediately apologized to Ye Tiancheng, saying, "We were wrong, we were wrong. Whatever our mistakes, we are determined to accept your punishment."
"Punishment?" Ye Tiancheng gave a cold smile, pointed to the floor, and said nothing more. Huang Shiren and Huang Bai immediately understood, dropped to their knees with a thud, and kowtowed to Ye Tiancheng. Only then did Ye Tiancheng reluctantly accept their apology. He then raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "The profits and benefits I offer you are unimaginable in your lifetime. As long as you continue, I guarantee that one-tenth of the profit will be higher than the profit from any of your medicinal herb businesses."
Although he spoke with conviction, these people did not believe Ye Tiancheng's words. They were the type who wouldn't be moved unless they saw tangible profits. Without real profits in front of them, even if you spoke beautifully, they wouldn't believe you. This was the stark reality.
Ye Tiancheng knew what the Huang family was thinking, so he didn't say anything more. He waved his hand and said, "You can leave now. Don't appear before me again. But this is a final warning. I hope you will remember my words carefully."
"We remember, we remember, we will never forget." Huang Shiren, seeing his son about to get angry again, quickly covered his mouth and immediately expressed his intentions to Ye Tiancheng.
Ye Tiancheng then turned to Yang Xiao'er, the owner of the pharmacy who had just learned everything about him. Yang Xiao'er was a little flustered, thinking he had offended Ye Tiancheng by driving him out earlier. He apologized, saying, "I'm truly sorry, I offended you just now."
"It's nothing. Since you understand, I don't need to complicate things. I need to sell some medicinal pills here."
"Do you have a pharmacist's certificate?"
Ye Tiancheng shrugged and said, "I really don't have that. But I think we should sell some medicinal pills. As long as you have a pharmacist's certificate, it's fine."
This put him in a difficult position. If Ye Tiancheng's medicinal pills had any side effects that harmed people, his pharmacy would be ruined and he wouldn't be able to operate. After all, human life was at stake, and this was no laughing matter. So he looked at Ye Tiancheng with embarrassment. Ye Tiancheng, of course, knew what he was thinking, so he smiled at him and said with conviction, "I know what you're worried about, and I understand. So I will do my best to show you my capabilities."
Seeing Ye Tiancheng's immense power, Yang Xiao'er dared not refuse. But if something went wrong after agreeing, Huiyang Hall would have to take the blame. How could he agree to such a thankless task? So he shook his head like a rattle drum, indicating his refusal of Ye Tiancheng's offer.
Seeing that he refused his request, Ye Tiancheng couldn't help but chuckle, "Don't worry, I would never cheat you."
"I think brother, you've misunderstood. I'm not trying to take advantage." This remark instantly eased the atmosphere. Ye Tiancheng was joking with him, calling him "dad."
"This is not a joke. I'm making a serious analogy, so you can rest assured. If I mess things up, I'm willing to bear all the consequences. I, Ye Tiancheng, can keep my word and will never make empty promises."
"Seeing how you've been like a dark horse in the past, I'll trust you." At this critical juncture, even if he didn't agree, it would be useless. In the face of a strong person, any weak person is like paper. Therefore, in this world, anyone who isn't brain-damaged will have an ambitious spirit. This so-called ambition means wanting absolute status, absolute profit, and absolute fame.
With status comes profit, and with profit comes fame. These two are interconnected. In this information-saturated world, any opportunity can turn an unknown person into a famous one, or a rich one.
Therefore, no matter what, in this tragic era, accepting reality seriously is the most important way to produce results. Whether you are willing or not, what is pressing upon your brow is like a sharp sword, destroying your life. Therefore, the strong dominate the lives of others, and the weak must accept the domination of the strong because that is how the world works.
Previously, he was a weakling, but now he had become a strong person, so he no longer had to accept anyone's opinions or investigations. Becoming a strong person was incredibly satisfying.
That's why he ordered Yang Xiao'er to accept his terms. Although his tone was gentle, it was actually more threatening than his previous powerful aura. This was also why Yang Xiao'er felt his life was threatened and had to accept his opinion, even though it was unavoidable.
Although he was unwilling, he truly had no way to change his destiny, nor could he change the difficulties he was currently facing.
"Then it's settled. I'll go back and make the medicinal pills. The prescription is mainly for treating diabetes, and it's absolutely effective. It works once and cures in two doses."
Although he felt in his heart that these words were more exaggerated than boasting, who would dare to make such a bold claim? Only Ye Tiancheng could say such things.
Therefore, at this moment, everything Ye Tiancheng said became a joke. After all, he was someone who wouldn't believe anything without seeing it. As a businessman, he naturally preferred to believe in scientific things. What Ye Tiancheng had just said was too outrageous and too boastful. Normal people would absolutely not believe such strange words. No one's mind would be so impaired that they would believe anything anyone said. Therefore, at this moment, he finally understood what kind of person a braggart was. At this time, he could only reserve his opinion about Ye Tiancheng, but he had to follow his instructions.
When Ye Tiancheng returned to the village, he immediately got busy. The prescription for treating diabetes was something he found online. It mainly consisted of two liang of rock sugar and one pear.
However, the pear he used was not an ordinary pear, but one that had been nurtured by the aura of a divine stone, possessing spiritual energy different from other pears.
Pears imbued with the spiritual energy of the Nuwa Stone naturally had divine efficacy.
However, the rock sugar he used was ordinary rock sugar. The method for preparing these pears was to take a large pot, chop the pears into pieces, and then simmer them over a slow fire for 24 hours.
After the pear had completely melted into the water, he would pour the rock sugar into the pear-infused water. Then, after cooling, he could roll them into balls by hand.
After two days of hard work, these medicinal pills were finally successful. Each pill was the size of a broad bean and had a golden-yellow translucent color, making them look like amber at first glance.
Seeing these round pear pills, Ye Tiancheng was overjoyed.
Then he went to Yangchun Hall and found Yang Xiao'er. At this time, Yang Xiao'er was busy with his business. Seeing Ye Tiancheng's arrival, he quickly abandoned his customers to greet Ye Tiancheng. Ye Tiancheng felt a little embarrassed seeing him like this.
"I really feel like I've come at the wrong time and disturbed your business."
"It's nothing, because you are a distinguished guest. Distinguished guests naturally have the privilege of priority service. What medicinal pills did you bring today? I've found several patients with diabetes who are waiting in the inner room. I'm very worried and scared. If your medicinal pills for treating diabetes are ineffective, and I sell them from my place, we'll be in trouble. They will complain to the Drug Administration, and then my store will be finished. Of course, you will also be imprisoned. The regulations for practicing medicine are very strict now. A single mistake can lead to jail time. After all, human life is paramount. Our country places the lives of its citizens first, and anything that harms the lives of its citizens is taboo."
"What you're saying is that you won't believe it until you see it, right? I just want to tell you something that will change your perspective, and that is that my medicinal pills are absolutely effective. I will easily handle this matter, so don't worry." With that, he quickly took out the medicinal pills for him to see. He saw Ye Tiancheng take out a very beautiful box, a box that looked like a handicraft, making people feel very comfortable.
This box was made of boxwood by Ye Tiancheng, and it took him an hour. If an ordinary person were to make such a box, it would take at least half a month. However, Ye Tiancheng possessed different abilities, and he could make a box like a handicraft in just one hour. Using such a box to hold medicinal pills made them appear high-class and sophisticated, giving people an extraordinary feeling. Therefore, everything relies on its appearance to please people, just as men like beautiful women. If something looks very unattractive, it will deter people from the outset based on its appearance alone. Therefore, first impressions are very important and are the absolute priority for Ye Tiancheng.
People nowadays care about appearance. As for what's inside, it has nothing to do with them.
Therefore, Yang Xiao'er's worries were reflected in his inner expression. At this moment, what he most wanted to see and what he was most worried about appeared before him.
Ye Tiancheng smiled faintly, then walked into the innermost room and distributed the medicinal pills he had prepared to the diabetic patients.
These diabetic patients were a bit apprehensive. They were worried that this free item might cause them problems. After all, Ye Tiancheng looked very young, only in his early twenties. Generally, skilled doctors were in their seventies or eighties and had rich clinical experience. Only at such an age would they feel reliable. In simple terms, Ye Tiancheng did not make them feel reliable.
"If you think this thing will harm your lives, you are mistaken, because this is entirely a health product, just sugar-coated pills made from pears and rock sugar."
When these people heard Ye Tiancheng's words, they laughed, because diabetic patients are most afraid of eating sugar, let alone pears, which are already high in sugar content.
Just as they thought eating it would raise their blood sugar, an old man took the medicinal pill. It spread from his stomach to his entire body.
The whole person felt much more relaxed, as if he were sitting in an air-conditioned room in the middle of summer.
