Chapter 28 Fiery Red Fairy
In the principal's office, Alan spoke to Jimmy Yan sternly, "You must get the formulation for me. I don't care how you're going to get it."
"Yes sir, I will think of a way to get it," Jimmy said obediently. Then, he walked out of the principal's office.
After Jimmy had left, Vincent walked out. "Dad, is the formulation really that important?"
Alan glanced at his son, "You were also there at the birthday party that night. You saw what happened there. The pharmacological effect of the medication is really good, and almost all of the upper-class society in Ludington City are asking about it now. Some of them are even willing to pay a high price of one million yuan just for a piece of the ointment."
"Wow!" Vincent exclaimed in disbelief. "Dad, it's just a medicine made by a poor student. Can't we make it as well?"
Alan shook his head lightly, "It's not that simple. The composition of Chinese medicine is extremely complicated. A slight difference in proportion would cause a large difference in the pharmacological effect. It would take at least a few years for us to develop it if that student doesn't want to tell us the formulation."
"It sounds difficult!" Vincent still didn't quite believe that Zachary could make such a thing.
Alan looked at his son and huffed, "Do you think it's a simple thing? Those pharmaceutical companies even offer a price of ten million yuan to buy the formulation."
"What? Ten million!" Vincent gasped. Although he was the son of the principal, ten million yuan was still a huge amount of money for him.
"This is just the beginning. The pharmaceutical companies in other states have received the news as well. They are all trying to get the formulation now. So, we must be quick. We have to get the formulation before anyone else," Alan said firmly.
"Dad, does it mean that we can earn 10 million yuan if we get the formulation?" Excitement sparked on Vincent's face.
Alan glared at his son, "We can get far more than just 10 million yuan if we get the formulation because we can produce the medicine and sell it. The profit will be more than 100 million yuan even if we sell it at half of the market price. By then, I can just quit my job as the principal of this school."
"More than a hundred million!" Vincent exclaimed. He was just a rich playboy who didn't know much about business. Upon his father's words, his eyes lit up when he thought of the money they could make. He gulped and said, "Dad, we must get this formulation."
"I know!" Alan rolled his eyes at his son. Then, he waved his hand and continued, "Go and inform the other schools that Zachary has been expelled. No one can change this decision."
"Dad, the expulsion notice has been made. How can there be any changes to it?" Vincent asked in confusion.
Alan glared at his stupid son and explained, "That old guy, Maxwell Sue, is now contacting the other old guys. I'm afraid that they will pressurize me at the meeting."
"Dad, don't worry, I will let them have no chance to turn the table," Vincent said with determination. "By the way, Dad, Vanessa is going to transfer to another school. Do you want to stop her?"
Alan rolled his eyes, "The most important thing now is to get the formulation. You can win over any woman's heart once we get the formulation. Don't be distracted."
"I see. I'll go now," Vincent nodded his head and rushed out of the principal's office happily.
Zachary moved out of the dormitory that afternoon. Vanessa drove him to her house.
Maxwell's house was not luxurious. It was just a two-story building with a small courtyard in front of it. There were some bamboo and herbs planted in the courtyard, which made it look refreshing. Zachary stayed in the guest room on the second floor. After tidying up, he came to the small herb storage room in Maxwell's house. It took him a few hours to make a bottle of refining ointment.
He gave Maxwell a piece of refining ointment the size of a book during dinner time. Vanessa was so shocked that she covered her rosy lips with her hands and looked at Zachary, "Zachary, do you know how valuable the paste in your hand is?" Zachary shook his head, "For me, the biggest value it has is to be able to cure diseases and save lives."
"Well said! Many Chinese physicians have forgotten about ethics. Making money is their top priority now. They just treat diseases and save people's lives to make money. Zachary, it's really rare for such a young man like you to cherish moral values. I have to toast for you!" Maxwell raised his glass.
"Thank you, Master Sue!" Zachary clinked his glass of wine with his and chugged it down.
Vanessa chimed in, "Grandpa, this is not a small amount of money. This paste is worth more than 10 million yuan."
"Ten million yuan? It's so expensive!" Maxwell was stunned. He knew that everyone was trying to buy Zachary's refining ointment, but he didn't expect that the price would be so high. Maxwell turned to look at Zachary immediately, "Zachary, this is too expensive. How about..."
Zachary smiled and interrupted Maxwell, "Master Sue, I know what you mean. For me, this is just a mixture of a few Chinese medicines. Also, I made it with your Chinese medicines."
"Well, I will accept it then. Zachary, please let me know if you need my help in the future."
Endless rounds of laughter could be heard from the house that night. Maxwell was tipsy. One could see that he was really happy.
The next day, Zachary got up early as usual. After exercising with Refining Boxing, he washed himself up and had breakfast. There was no one in the house. Maxwell and Vanessa had gone to school to arrange Vanessa's transfer to another school.
Zachary's phone rang when he was thinking about where to go next. He found out that it was a call from the beautiful reporter, Lauren Lim.
"Sister Lim, why are you calling me? Is there anything wrong?" Zachary asked, being a little surprised.
Lauren's charming voice came from the other end of the phone, "Zachary, I am calling to apologize to you."
"Apologize?" Zachary was puzzled.
"I heard that you are expelled by the school. I'm afraid that it has something to do with my article about you," Lauren smiled. "Well, I guess you are free now. Let me treat you to lunch."
"Well, okay. Where are you? I'll go find you," Zachary responded. He could not reject a beautiful woman who wanted to treat him to a meal.
"It's okay. You're in Master Sue's house, right? I'll pick you up there." Lauren was really well-informed.
A fiery red Mercedes-Benz sports car stopped in front of Maxwell's house as soon as Zachary had finished changing his clothes. Lauren was wearing a tight red leather coat, which accentuated her perfect body figure well. Her hair fluttered in the wind, adding to her charm and attractiveness.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"Get in the car!" Lauren hooked her finger at Zachary.
"You must feel good staying in a beautiful girl's house last night! Did any wonderful thing happen?" Lauren teased.
Zachary really didn't know how to respond to this fairy-like woman. He cleared his throat and said, "It's not like what you think. Vanessa and I are just friends."
"Is that so?" Lauren said with a smile. "Sit tight. We'll depart now!"
Zachary's back was pressed tightly against the car seat. The red sports car was driven at high speed, surging forward like a fiery flame.
