This buyer had made multiple purchases from their shop. She was considered a major client, and honestly, Lu Yumo did not want to rub her the wrong way. After all, the customer was always right.

Just as Lu Yumo was wondering how he should reply, the girl pressed on. "What's the matter? I bought so many things from your shop and I just want to meet you in person, so why is it taking you so long? Didn't you open the shop just to earn money? As long as you're willing to come out and see me, I will give you anything you want, be it money or power.

​​

"I'm sure you've heard of the Ouyang Family before, right? Well, we sincerely hope that you can come to the Ouyang Mansion and be our guest of honor." The girl continued to blabber on.

Fu Zhi was eating a drumstick. Before she could say anything to Lu Yumo, the girl added, "You're a Taobao shop owner, so that makes you the lowest class of person in society. You're capable, while we have the resources you need, so I trust you know what you should choose, right?"

Fu Zhi left the last bit of meat on the drumstick for Ye Jiu, freed her hand up, and replied, "I'm sorry, sweetie. We're a bunch of people who prefer to sit on our laurels and have no desire to improve or climb up the social ladder, so I'm afraid we have to turn down your offer."

Ye Jiu took a look at her reply and said, "This is why I like you. You always speak your mind and you'd never lie."

Fu Zhi looked at him in confusion.

'I'd never lie? Who told you that?'

Anyway, that did not matter right now. Fu Zhi did not say anything and continued to type on the phone. "Here's the thing. Every walk of life has different rules, sweetie. We only sell medicine. We won't show our faces. We don't work with a third party and we don't support bargaining."

On the other side of the phone, Ouyang's face turned dark when she saw Fu Zhi's response.

Her fingers were still on the keyboard. There were two interfaces on her computer. One was the conversation between her and Fu Zhi, while the other was the conversation between her and the elders of the family.

The Ouyang Family was very much looking forward to this cooperation opportunity.

They had appointed Ouyang Ya as their representative, while the person in charge was the elder of the Ouyang Family.

The reason was simple. Everyone was afraid of death, and nobody could guarantee that they would not come across any illness or disaster in their life, especially when getting wounded was the norm for the Ouyang Family. It would be beneficial for the Ouyang Family if they could strike a deal with a bigshot with a number of patented drugs in her hands.

Also, they were certain that a person like her would be protected by many people from different areas. Thus, they could only try their best to cozy up to her so they could work with her. If they accidentally offended her, things would get very ugly.

That said, Ouyang Ya felt that what was going on between her and the shop owner was a delicate situation. She had spent a ton of money to buy stuff from them, but she did not know why the shop owner still treated her so badly.

Taking a deep breath, Ouyang Ya threatened her. "Based on what I've seen, I was your biggest customer last month. I'm sure you don't want to lose your biggest customer, right?"

Besides, the main point was…

Ouyang Ya then added, "Even if you don't want to see me, the medicine you're selling is expensive. I've bought so much from you, so don't you think you should at least give me a discount?"

"Oh," Fu Zhi answered plainly. "You can take it or leave it, sweetie."

Great, Fu Zhi had taken a stand.

After replying to Ouyang Ya, Fu Zhi then went offline.

This was the first time Ouyang Ya came across something like this. She could not believe that a shop owner from Taobao had dared to talk back to her in such a rude manner.

'You don't want to sell the medicine cheaper to me, right? Well, then... You asked for it!'

Ouyang Ya did not want to talk to Fu Zhi anymore. Since she'd refused to yield to her, Ouyang Ya decided to do this the hard way. She went to the backend of Taobao and filed a complaint.

Since she was a member of the Ouyang Family, the staff that dealt with her was the platform manager.

The platform manager said reverently, [Just tell us what we can do for you, Ms. Ouyang. You're the customer, and we will certainly do everything we can to help you.]

Ouyang Ya then told everything that had happened between her and Fu Zhi (she still did not know that the shop owner was Fu Zhi), including their conversation, to the platform manager. [I don't like her attitude. I've spent so much money on her shop that even a dog would wag its tail at me, so who the hell does she think she is? Close her shop. I don't want to see her doing any business on Taobao anymore!]

The platform manager did not say anything. The moment he saw the information of "Definitely Not A Dishonest Shop", he withdrew his previous message.

Ouyang Ya was stunned.

'What the hell is that supposed to mean?'

Well, it did not mean anything. It was just that the platform manager was a person who bent with the wind.

[Okay, I got it. I don't think the shop owner has done anything wrong and I think you're the one being unreasonable here.]

Ouyang Ya replied, [Huh?!]

[Let me make things clear for you, Ms. Ouyang. She's someone even the bigshots in the medical industry have to be wary of. Even the Gu Family has to pay her in full when they buy things from her, so what makes you think that the Ouyang Family can be exempted? Besides, she's the one selling, so she can set the price she wants. If you don't agree with her price, you don't have to buy anything from her. If everyone behaved like you and wanted to have an offline meeting with her, how many people would she have to meet a day?]

[That means you're not helping me anymore? What about the promises you made to me before?] Ouyang Ya replied in exasperation.

The platform manager said, [It was just a slip of my fingers.]

Ouyang Ya was speechless. The cup in her hand fell to the floor and shattered into pieces.

Yu City was hell. That's what she thought about her stay there. After all, ever since her first day in the city, she had not had a day of peace!

The elder of the Ouyang Family was still asking about the discount and the meeting. Ouyang Ya was annoyed, but she had no other choice but to explain this to him. [She doesn't want to see me. I tried my best, but even the backend staff cannot get anything from her.]

[Forget about it. I will introduce you to a hacker later. Since she doesn't want to see us, we can only opt to take drastic measures. He will help you get her IP address, and when you finally see her, try your best to talk to her nicely. If you help the Ouyang Family secure the deal, it will be beneficial for you as well…"

On the other side of the city, in Yu City's Central Hospital...

The gathering had ended terribly for the Mu Family. Mu Changqing's heart had always had a problem, and he'd nearly died on the spot after he lost his money to Fu Zhi and Jiang Zong told him that the cooperation between the Mu Family and the Jiang Family had officially ended.

When Fu Zhi had said that she was Pure Feather, Mu Changqing had not believed her at all. At the same time, he had panicked.

Mu Chenxi was taking care of her father in the hospital. When she saw her father staring at the ceiling blankly after he came to, she knew that her father had not accepted reality yet.

The gathering had not ended as well as they'd thought. Not only had they failed to reconcile with Pure Feather, but they'd also lost plenty of money and opportunities.

In the past, Lu Chuwan had to compete with Fu Zhi. After getting sent to the reformatory, Mu Chenxi had thought she could avenge Lu Chuwan, but it turned out that it had been just a foolish dream in the end.

She hated the curveball that life had thrown at her, and at the same time, she still did not believe that Fu Zhi was Pure Feather.
