After the banquet, Han Lang remained in seclusion at home for two full days.
Firstly, the beauty project in cooperation with Tang Group required him to refine a large quantity of Youth-Preserving Pills for production.
Secondly, he also wished to quickly improve his strength and refine Yuan-Nourishing Pills and Minor Restoration Pills to help Tang Haoran recover his cultivation.
On the other side, with the assistance of Tang Group, Han Kang’s offensive in the beauty industry was also exceptionally fierce.
In just two days, not only did they completely absorb the market previously seized by the Wang family, but they also vigorously expanded the market share of "Gan Kuai Hao Oral Liquid" at the same time.
For a time, the beauty industry of the Wang family and Gou family's Qingtian Pharmaceutical Company were both hit hard, with the industry's market value directly evaporating by more than fifty percent.
This was not all. On the side of Tianyi Pavilion, Wang Fang, after days of planning and mobilizing some patients who had previously suffered at Qingtian Hospital, the public opinion also spread rapidly.
At the moment when Han Kang and the Wang family battle commenced, Tianyi Pavilion also formally launched its offensive against Qingtian Hospital at the opportune moment.
After several days of fermentation, patient trust in Qingtian Hospital plummeted repeatedly, which directly led to the increasingly bleak economic performance of Qingtian Hospital!
For every piece of good news the Han family received, the Gou and Wang families suffered as many defeats!
As such, upon learning that he had been used by Gou Feng, Wang Zizai was currently arriving at the Gou family in a rage to demand an explanation.
"Gou Feng! Didn't you solemnly assure me that this marketing plan had no competitors? What is this sudden emergence of the Han family?"
Gou Feng feigned an innocent expression: "Younger Brother Wang, the beauty industry is your Wang family's main battlefield! How can you come here questioning me when such a strong competitor suddenly appears and you don't even know about it?"
Wang Zizai was about to explode with anger: "Stop playing dumb! Do you think I still don't know you're using me as a pawn? The Han family's business was clearly only in pharmaceuticals, why did they suddenly shift to the beauty industry? Do you dare say it has nothing to do with your Gou family?"
Seeing that Wang Zizai had seen through everything, Gou Feng quickly changed his demeanor and said to Wang Zizai with a smile.
"Heh heh, Brother Wang, don't be angry! I know your Wang family suffered heavy losses this time, but hasn't my Gou family suffered as well? At times like these, we must calm down and think of countermeasures! Think about it, the Han family's rash entry into the beauty market must mean they are not yet stable. As long as you put in more effort, the Han family will surely collapse like a mountain! At that time, won't the entire beauty industry of Le City be within your Wang family's grasp?"
"You're spouting nonsense!"
"You still want to treat my Wang family as a chess piece? The Han family is allied with the Tang family of the Four Great Families, do you think I don't know that? Although this failure was tragic, with the accumulation of my Wang family over the years, we can at least retain our position among the Eight Great Families. You want me to oppose the Tang family, are you trying to see my Wang family completely annihilated?"
Seeing that Wang Zizai was so clear-headed at this moment, Gou Feng knew he could no longer use him, so he decided to provoke him.
"Then what do you suggest we do? Are you willing to just let it go like this?"
Unexpectedly, Wang Zizai did not fall for it at all.
"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Still falling for your provocation? Let me tell you, my Wang family admits defeat this time. Consider the beauty market as a stepping stone for the Han family! From now on, I will no longer have any business dealings with your Gou family!"
Seeing Wang Zizai's resolute stance, Gou Feng quickly resorted to emotional appeals.
"Younger Brother Wang, Younger Brother Wang! We have known each other for decades, are you going to break off relations with me over this matter? I admit I was wrong this time, and I shouldn't have concealed the situation of the Han family from you. Wasn't I just afraid of you worrying? If I had known that the Han family was secretly involved with the Tang family, I wouldn't have dared to act even if you gave me ten times the courage."
Gou Feng's words finally caused Wang Zizai's emotions to improve slightly. Seeing this, he quickly continued to strike while the iron was hot.
"The Han family now has the Tang family as their backing. On the surface, we can no longer do anything to the Han family. But you should also know that with the Han family's current strength, they are still no match for us, the Eight Great Families. Therefore, the only way now is for us to secretly do something during this time to salvage the current situation!"
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
Seeing that his scheme was about to succeed, a sly smile appeared on Gou Feng's face, and he continued.
"If, at this critical juncture, the helmsman of the Han family, or rather, the person in charge of the project, encounters some trouble, and there is no one to control the overall situation, do you think the Han family will collapse without a fight?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Zizai's brow furrowed instantly, and he fell into deep thought.
After carefully pondering it,
Suddenly,
He had an epiphany!
Anger surged back into his heart.
He then pointed at Gou Feng and began to curse loudly again.
"Good heavens, Gou Feng! I almost fell for your trick again! You intend to silence them! And then use my Wang family as a scapegoat, right? Do you think Wang Zizai is so easily bullied?"
With his scheme exposed, Gou Feng simply stopped acting. He immediately tore off his hypocritical mask and cursed at Wang Zizai.
"Wang Zizai! What are you pretending to be so noble for! How many dirty tricks have you used in business over the years, do you think I don't know? We are already in the same boat. No matter how much my Gou family declines, we are still at least a tiny bit stronger than your Wang family. If we are truly forced to fight to the death, my Gou family will definitely drag your Wang family down with us!"
Wang Zizai smiled disdainfully.
"Hmph! I, Wang Zizai, do not claim to be a good person, but I would never dare to overstep the line with murder and arson! If you want to do it, that's your business! Out of consideration for our years of friendship, I will pretend I never heard your words. However, if you want to drag my Wang family down with you, you are welcome to try!"
After speaking, Wang Zizai waved his sleeve and arrogantly strode away.
"Damn! Damn! Damn!"
In the hall of the Gou family, only Gou Feng remained, filled with rage.
He smashed everything within his sight to pieces, as a way to balance the anger in his heart.
After a long while,
Once his emotions had stabilized, he took out his phone and dialed a number that had been long forgotten.
"Hello, Ah Le! Are you still in that line of work?"
"I need you to get me some people!"
"I'll send you the photos later. How much can you get the people to do now?"
"Money is not an issue! Are your methods clean?"
"Make them die!"
After hanging up the phone, Gou Feng lay motionlessly on the sofa, his eyes filled with a cold glint. He stared fiercely at the void before him, gritting his teeth and muttering.
"This time, I will let you know the price of angering me, the mad dog!"
