Chapter 62



Justin approached with a cold stare.

The conference was noisy and all the guests had gathered in their respective cliques. Justin was discreet by nature, so no one had noticed him.

Besides, this was a medical conference. Most of the guests here wouldn’t be able to come into contact with people on their level, so they didn’t know who he was.

However, this did not include Assistant Dean Lucas.

Assistant Dean Lucas was stunned when he saw him. “Mr. Hunt?”

Justin, however, ignored him. He merely turned to Simon and said casually, “Uncle Simon, Finest Hospital will purchase all of our traditional medicines from the Andersons. For every type of pill that Harmonia Pharmacy sells, we will take 5,000 pills a month each.”

Everyone’s jaw dropped.

5,000 pills… Of every kind!

Although it wasn’t much, it was enough to support Harmonia Pharmacy’s daily expenses!

It was practically a lifesaver.

Besides, he had also chosen an adequate amount. Finest Hospital was definitely capable of finishing all 5,000 pills of each type of medicine, no matter what. Therefore, he would not give others the impression that Justin took pity on them, so his actions showed enough respect for the Andersons.

The way he handled the matter was appropriate and meticulous.

Simon quickly recovered from his astonishment. He, Sheena and Melissa looked at each other.

They still had so many people to feed at the Andersons. In addition, Sheena and Sheril were also leading the research and development efforts for new drugs in the pharmaceutical department, so the future still held endless possibilities for them.

Feel the thrill at g aln ov el s . com Simon didn’t get pretentious and turned down their offer. Instead, he said gratefully, “I will certainly sell you all our drugs at the lowest possible price! I also guarantee that they will be of absolutely the best quality.”

Justin nodded and indicated to Sean, “Have the Legal Department draw up a contract for us to sign as soon as possible.”

After speaking, he looked at Nora.

She hadn’t asked for a consultation fee or for her grandmother’s surgery back then. By helping them out a little and sending them some money, it would be understood that she was returning the favor.

However, Nora frowned, apparently a little concerned. “5,000 pills of each type? Does this include the new products?”

New products?

Simon and Sheena were a little confused. They didn’t have any new products, did they?

Justin, however, quickly replied, “Yes, it does include it.”

Nora looked at him and asked casually, “Are you sure? The new product is a little expensive.”

A little expensive? How expensive could it be?

Justin didn’t take her question seriously. He asked, “How much does it cost?”

Nora replied quietly and unhurriedly, “The price is $800 per pill.”

Justin frowned.

At $800 per pill, 5,000 pills would mean $4,000,000 per month!

Even the total cost of 5,000 units of each type of Harmonia Pharmacy pill would probably only add up to less than a million dollars a month. Was he asking that much?

He was demanding an exorbitant price.

Justin frowned and his expression turned a little cold. Although he had only interacted with her a couple of times, she didn’t seem to be such an ungrateful person.

Simon and Sheena, who had finally come to their senses, were quick to say, “Don’t talk nonsense, Nora! We don’t have any new product.”

Nora explained, “Sheril is making it right now. It will be finished soon.”

What needed to be finished soon? It had been years since the factory’s Research and Development Department had launched any new products.

However, in the presence of people outside the factory, Simon could not reprimand Nora for babbling nonsense. So he could only give Justin a vague answer and say, “New products are not included.”

But Justin instead glared at Nora and asked, “What do you think, Miss Smith?”

Nora hesitated.

The Rest Pills were made from very expensive medicinal herbs. The cost prices of the various precious medicinal herbs in the pills were high from the beginning. Excluding materials and manufacturing costs, a single pill could already cost as much as $500 to $600.

A wholesale price of $800 was really very low. In fact, I had even thought of setting the retail price at $1,500 per pill.

He had originally thought that the Rest Pills would even allow Harmonia Pharmacy to recoup its capital and make a name for itself, but if he had to reserve 5,000 pills for himself each month….

Ah, well.

What could he do? He was Pete’s father. She supposed she’d share a portion of the profits with him.

Thinking about it, Nora sighed and said, “You can have them then.”

Justin, “?”

It was obvious that she was scamming him, but why did she seem to be reluctant to give him the pills?

Annoyed, he suddenly lost interest in staying any longer. Simon was quick to say, “No, Justin, it’s not right…. He’s still young, so he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”

Sheena also held Nora and lectured her in a low voice. “What kind of nonsense are you talking in front of Mr. Hunt? He’s only helping us because his father was sister’s friend. How can you raise the price like that? You are so…”

The word ‘scoundrel’ did a 180-degree turn on the tip of her tongue at the thought of how Nora had defended her a moment ago, and she forced herself to swallow the word again.

As they argued, Justin instead said, ‘That settles it, then.

A gentleman must be true to his word. Since he had agreed, he should not go back on his word.

He would merely treat the money as his consulting fee and consider that he was returning the favor.

From then on, they owed each other nothing.

As soon as he said that, a loud voice traveled from a short distance away. “Mr. Myers, I hear you still have another Rest Pill, how much would you be willing to sell it for?”

Nora turned and saw a handsome man with a pair of flirtatious eyes. He looked to be in his early twenties and was wearing a gray suit that made him look tall and thin.

He was talking to an older man with white hair. “I’m willing to pay $150,000 for the pill to treat my uncle’s disease!”

For some reason, Nora found the man very affable. She asked, “Aunt Melissa, who is it?”

After a moment’s hesitation, Melissa replied, “That young man is Joel Smith, the current head of the Smiths. His uncle is Ian Smith…”

Ian Smith?

The man who never married in his entire life after Mom let him down?

As he pondered this, the old man, Jon Myers, said, “Mr. Smith, not that I refuse to sell it, but there’s only one left. It’s the treasure of our company.”

Joel Smith’s flirtatious eyes would lift even when he wasn’t smiling, making people feel warm and comfortable in his presence. But at the same time, he also inspired awe despite his mild-mannered appearance.

His assistant, who was standing next to him, reprimanded him: “In that case, why did you give one to the Hunts? Deep down, is it because you think the Smiths can’t compare to the Hunts, or do you think we Smiths can’t afford it?”

Jon wiped the beads of cold sweat from his forehead and said, “That’s not what I mean at all, Mr. Smith.”

Joel also didn’t want to be thought of as someone who coerced others into selling. So he gently suggested, “How about we go over there and discuss this further.”

Only when they left did Nora finally look away.

Melissa sighed excitedly. “To think that a pill can sell for $150,000!”

As soon as she said that, Vice Dean Lucas, whose presence everyone had overlooked, suddenly said, “That’s the Rest Pill they’re talking about; of course it’s going to be expensive! What kind of new product are they launching to have the audacity to sell it for $800 a pill? They are clearly trying to rip people off.”

He was quick to look at Justin and said, “Don’t be fooled, Mr. Hunt! The traditional medicine industry is complicated; how can some lousy herbal medicine be worth $800… Do you think you’re selling the Rest Pills?”

A sharp look flashed in Justin’s eyes: he was obviously disgusted.

What did it matter to Vice Dean Lucas that he was willing to have his money ripped off?

He was about to speak when the corners of the young woman’s lips curved upward and she said coolly, “You’re right, we do indeed sell Rest Pills.”
