1002: Chapter 103: The Enemy Produces for Us 1002: Chapter 103: The Enemy Produces for Us “Sigh!”
The child’s mother clearly breathed a sigh of relief, “Mr.
Zhang, although you may be the Family Head of a silver aristocratic clan, you can’t be making jokes like this.
You scared me to death!
You might have money to burn, but my child is the one who has to suffer the pain.”
“It’s impossible!
This can’t be happening!
How could fake vaccines produce antibodies?
It’s absolutely impossible!”
Zhang Fei shook his head, as if he had lost his mind.
Soon, more results came out.
There were antibodies!
There were antibodies!
There were antibodies!
Ten tests, all with antibodies present.
Those test reports fluttered in the wind like they were mocking Zhang Fei.
“Patriarch Zhang, I don’t know where you got your information about fake vaccines here, but this publicity stunt of yours is quite something.
You’ve informed everyone that all our vaccines here are real.
You’ve also shown people just how good Xinmeng Group’s vaccines are!”
The head of the vaccination station shook his head, “Go ahead and let your grandson get vaccinated too, there’s absolutely no problem.”
This person spoke with some courtesy, but the parents who were testing for antibodies were not satisfied.
“Just because you’re the Family Head of a silver aristocratic clan doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want!
My son needs to eat a lot just to recover from one blood draw!”
“That’s right, we could sue you for spreading rumors and causing trouble.”
“We might be afraid of you, but Xinmeng Group probably isn’t, they’ll have no problem taking you to court.”
…
“Let’s go!”
Zhang Fei left the vaccination station with an ugly expression.
This commotion today had turned out to be free advertisment for Xinmeng Group and had exposed himself for no gain.
It was truly a loss.
“Don’t worry, Family Head.
Maybe it’s just this case that’s an outlier, certainly the rest must be fakes!”
The Butler consoled.
However, about an hour after Zhang Fei returned home, all the people he had sent out had come back.
Some had clearly been beaten up, each one looking disheveled and in a mess.
“Family Head, there are no fake vaccines at all!”
“Exactly, Boss, we checked for antibodies, they’re all there.”
“What on earth is going on, Family Head!”
Those people were also utterly frustrated.
Some vaccination stations and health clinics had been prewarned by them, but in the end, all vaccines turned out to be real, how could this be understood?
Several workers from the vaccination stations under their control were dragged over.
“Explain this to me!
If you don’t give me an answer that I’m satisfied with, don’t expect to see tomorrow’s sun!”
Zhang Fei’s face was clouded with darkness.
This time, it had truly been a major embarrassment.
“Patriarch Zhang, we really don’t know, our supply all came from Zhang Luo, the prices were the same.
We took the Zhang family’s money, how could we dare to do anything that wrongs the Zhang family.”
Several people cried out, pledging their loyalty.
If one person had said this, Zhang Fei might have thought they were spouting nonsense.
Now that more than a dozen people were saying the same thing, Zhang Fei had to believe it whether he wanted to or not.
“So you mean to say, you’ve all been following the plan all along?”
“Truly, Patriarch Zhang!
If we had intentionally bought the real vaccines, may the heavens strike us with thunder!”
One of them said, “At first, when the Xinmeng Group sent testers over, I was really worried they would notice something.
But their testers didn’t say anything, and I was relieved.
Who knew that the vaccines would actually be real!”
“Could there be some problem on Zhang Luo’s end?”
Zhang Fei’s face started to look even uglier, “You lot, get lost for now.
If I find out you dared to lie to me, I can assure you won’t know how you died.”
“Ah, Patriarch Zhang, why don’t you trust us?
We’re the ones who have blackened our hearts; why would we intentionally engage in the business of real goods.”
“And the real product’s price has doubled, we’re not fools.”
Zhang Fei’s expression grew uglier by the moment.
At this time, some previously unnoticed details flashed suddenly in his mind.
Zhang Luo’s tone on the phone and his certain catchphrases, he hadn’t paid attention before because they seemed like minor issues.
But now, recalling them, they were far from minor issues—they were major problems.
“Family Head, I’m afraid there is a problem with Zhang Luo.”
The Butler said, looking at Zhang Fei.
“Do I need you to tell me that?
A Captain Hindsight who’s of no use at all.
Gather some men immediately, and follow me to the factory.
I want to see what kind of tricks Zhang Luo is up to.”
Zhang Fei’s face was as dark as if ink could drip from it.
He had been played, and played badly.
He had invested at least five hundred million into this plan, front to back.
He had thought that spending five hundred million to topple Xinmeng Group was a very worthwhile deal.
But now, it seemed that not only had the five hundred million been thrown to the winds, but what’s worse, he had unwittingly made a wedding gown for Xinmeng Group.
The very thought made him so angry he felt like spitting blood.
He was on the verge of having a heart attack.
Although five hundred million wasn’t a huge sum, it certainly wasn’t a small amount either.
He summoned Zhang Family’s experts.
Zhang Fei personally led the team to the factory.
The factory gates were, as ever, closed, but when they saw them coming, the security guards opened the gates.
So much so that Zhang Fei didn’t notice that the security guards standing there were all unfamiliar faces.
Even if he had noticed, he probably couldn’t have recognized them.
Zhang Luo was always in charge here; Zhang Fei had visited less than three times, so how could he know there had been a change of personnel?
Once inside the factory, faint machine hums could be heard.
The soundproofing in the place was well done.
So the noise wasn’t loud.
He went over to check the electric meter and nearly exploded with anger.
The meter was jumping rapidly.
The machines were constantly spinning, the workers tirelessly producing.
All of it was funded by his money—his money!
Once inside the factory, the noise grew even louder.
The workers were focused on their production, each with a strong drive.
And when he asked the workshop director, it turned out they were working shifts around the clock, twenty-four hours a day.
Zhang Fei, furious, slapped the workshop director, “Where is Zhang Luo!”
He bellowed.
The workshop director felt unjustly hit; they had all been working so hard, why should he be struck?
What had they done wrong?
“Go, bring the products you just made for me to see, and also, have your experts come to examine them!”
Zhang Fei roared, his face grim.
The workshop director was one of his own people.
Of course, he complied and brought over several bottles of the packaged vaccine.
The technical expert looked at Zhang Fei and laughed, “I didn’t expect the Boss of this company to be so responsible.
A few more checks are good, vaccines are, after all, related to personal safety.”
He would have been better off not saying that.
These words were like rubbing salt into Zhang Fei’s wounds.
He became so angry that blood seeped from his mouth.
Internal injuries!
But the technical expert didn’t pay attention to Zhang Fei’s rage.
After finishing the inspection, he said, “Boss, the vaccine test is completely effective and meets production standards.
Rest assured, I will keep a strict eye on the technical aspects, and we certainly won’t tarnish Xinmeng Group’s reputation!”
Pfft!
This time, Zhang Fei couldn’t hold back anymore; a mouthful of blood spit out, and he nearly died on the spot from the fury.
This was just too damn frustrating!
