The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise Chapter 438
Advertisement
Fu Zhi understood the rivalry amongst competitors. After all, the forces of competition could be seen everywhere in daily life. As Lu Yumo said, even in school, they had to fight with each other for the limited cubicles in the restroom so that they would not be punished by Director Liu if they failed to return to class before the bell rang. Therefore, it went without saying that competition also existed in the market.
Then, Fu Zhi remembered that a few celebrities or agents had bought some whitening products from their shop.
Coming back to reality, what Fu Zhi could not tolerate was that not only did these people risk the health of the buyers by selling them counterfeit products, but they also did not give her royalties for using the names of her products. Besides, they also had more buyers and earned more than her.
There was no way Fu Zhi could tolerate something like that.
She figured that she had to do something, so she registered a new account on Taobao and went to confront the shop owner of "Definitely Not A Dishonest Shop Flagship Store".
Fu Zhi did not beat around the bush and got straight to the point. She gave the shop owner two choices: One, remove all the products from his shop; two, close the shop, change all the product names and formulas, and stop using her name to deceive the consumers. Otherwise, she was going to report him.
Anyone else might have felt guilty and compensated her for her loss. However, the owner of this shop was different. He was from a wealthy family.
He only logged into his Taobao account 10 minutes later. When he saw Fu Zhi's message, he replied, [Are you serious, darling? We are all selling bogus medicine, so don't act as if you're the angel of healing who came from heaven to save the people on earth from suffering.
[Let me tell you something, darling. I'm rich. I opened this shop just for fun and I have my family to support me. You're just the owner of a small shop on Taobao, so if I were you, I would stop messing with someone out of my league and mind my own business. If you refuse to listen to me, I can ask the technical department to shut down your store in a minute. Do you believe me?]

Fu Zhi was dumbfounded.
'Where the hell did this idiot come from?'
[Who told you that my medicine is fake?]
[Seriously? Are you sure you're not out of your mind? Do you really think the Beauty Pills in your shop, which you sell for a few million, are the same as the Beauty Pills produced by the national medical research department? Do you need me to help you call an ambulance? I think you really need to have your brain checked at the hospital.]
On the other side of the line, Gu Ming rolled his eyes at Fu Zhi speechlessly. [Let me tell you something else, darling. My brother, Gu Yanqi, is a medicine expert. I know that the medicine that you're selling has not even been released in the market yet. Even someone like me cannot get his hands on it, and now you're telling me that an ordinary person like you has a way to get this medicine? Are you sure you're not messing with me?]
Gu Ming had done extensive research before opening the shop and starting to sell the medicine.
Truth be told, he had lied to Fu Zhi when he'd told her that he had just opened the shop for fun. He was a rich young master who had been born with a silver spoon in his mouth, so the last thing he lacked was fun and exciting activities.
The main reason he had opened the shop was that he had taken a liking to a starlet named Mu Chenxi. He had been coveting her for more than a month. During this month, he had bought her luxury cars and houses. He was one of the most influential movie critics in the industry and he had even gone as far as to sacrifice his career by praising a few bad dramas that Mu Chenxi had starred in just to win over her heart.
Even though Gu Ming had done so many things for her, Mu Chenxi kept giving him the cold shoulder. That said, he was not discouraged at all and he felt like Mu Chenxi was a challenge.
After all, there was this saying along the lines of "people only want what they can't have". Although Mu Chenxi was not his type, he still wanted to go after her and make her fall in love with him to prove that no one could resist his charm.

Last month, Gu Ming had learned from someone that a certain person in the Mu Corporation had told Mu Chenxi that the Beauty Pill and the Mind-Cleansing Pill from "Definitely Not A Dishonest Shop" were very beneficial for actors like them. That person had even given Mu Chenxi a few Beauty Pills, and Mu Chenxi's skin had indeed become a lot better last month.
Seeing that his daughter's popularity was on the rise due to her good looks, Mr. Mu wanted her to play a supporting role in "Red Sun" to broaden her prospects in the film industry in one fell swoop.
Mu Chenxi had not told her father about the Beauty Pills, but Gu Ming did not believe that medicine like that would not have any side effects.
Thus, he had visited "Definitely Not A Dishonest Shop" and realized that the Beauty Pills were patented pills made by the national research team. Besides, he remembered that Gu Yanqi was involved in the later stage of the production as well.
What Gu Ming could not accept was that a shop opened up by a poor person had been able to get the pills, while he, someone from the Gu Family, could not. Besides, he also felt that the owner of the shop had a lot of nerve to earn money from his little goddess.
Thus, an idea had popped up in Gu Ming's mind.
'Instead of giving your money to an outsider, you might as well give the money to me, your affectionate suitor.'
With that thought in mind, Gu Ming had opened up another shop on Taobao and successfully lured Mu Chenxi into buying the Beauty Pill from him.
He made his Beauty Pill with chocolate. It would not do any harm to one's body other than helping Mu Chenxi gain some weight.
Mu Chenxi had been unable to sleep because of Fu Zhi, and since she had been taking the fake medicine this whole time, her skin condition had deteriorated.
She still had not realized that she had been taking fake medicine this whole time. As for Gu Ming, he felt like he was the incarnation of justice, who had rescued a poor lost soul.
Gu Ming expressed deep disdain and spitefulness for Fu Zhi's behavior. If he had not agreed to go to Yu City to attend the gathering hosted by the Mu Family, he would have fought with this liar for 300 more rounds.
'So Gu Yanqi is his brother? That means Gu Hao is his father?'
Fu Zhi then said, [I'll say this again. I don't sell fake medicine. You don't have any evidence to prove that my medicine is fake, yet you dare talk to me like that? Are you not afraid that I will tell your father about your behavior?]
Gu Min was dumbfounded.
[Would a murderer say he's a murderer? You sell fake medicine, yet you think that I, the incarnation of justice, will just sit back, relax, and let you continue to earn blood money just because you mentioned my father?]
Normally, someone born with a silver spoon in their mouth would not waste their time on something like this. However, Gu Ming was different. The more someone opposed him, the more he liked to talk to them.
[I dare you to go and ask my father to beat me right now. I will close the shop immediately and even help you promote your d*mn shop on Weibo. If you can't do it, then just keep your mouth shut!]
Gu Ming was stating the truth. His father was the president of the company that had released the game Glory. He earned a few hundred thousand per minute and he rarely came home. Therefore, he was certain that Fu Zhi was just bluffing.
However, Fu Zhi replied, [Okay. Just you wait.]
Then, she went offline.
