Chapter 812: Being Treated Favorably Might Mean Being Targeted

"Why doesn't he have to queue, but we have to?"

The staff member gave the answer: "Because my uncle is a VIP member here, so he enjoys our VIP service."

Everyone felt unbalanced, so they shouted: "What kind of VIP service is it? We want to sign up for membership too."

Staff member: "Alright, as long as you buy 58,000 yuan worth of our products, you can enjoy VIP service for life."

Everyone:...

Fifty-eight thousand?

Why don't you just go rob someone?

So in the end, it's still about selling things?

Hearing about spending money, half of the people didn't come the next day.

The other half still came the next day, but they obediently went to queue and had no complaints.

Quite a few people also bought the products.

All the talk about it being free at the beginning and promoting health concepts was nothing but a gimmick; the ultimate goal was still to sell medicine.

Sheng Jiang hadn't spent any money, but because of the rumor that he had spent 58,000, he felt a bit guilty, so he took the initiative to ask the staff what kind of products they had.

Sheng Family.

Five or six people delivered a lot of things as if they were moving house: a massage chair, a wooden foot-soaking bucket, a stainless steel pot, an eye massager, a pebble-patterned walking mat... and there was also a box of things that were unknown, which seemed to be food.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, what did you buy? Is the stuff inside edible?" Zichen was only interested in food.

Sheng Jiang had people move that mysterious box upstairs to his own room, not letting his grandson touch it, telling him it was medicine and couldn't be eaten casually.

Zichen entered his parents' room with a tense little face and protested: "You two care too little about Grandpa; Grandpa is sick and you don't even care."

The couple was shocked; they hadn't noticed their father feeling unwell at all?

But Zichen wouldn't lie; perhaps it was their negligence.

The couple went to the door of their parents' room and knocked.

Sheng Jiang didn't open the door and asked from inside: "Is something the matter?"

Sheng Hanyu: "Nothing, Dad, where are you feeling unwell?"

Sheng Jiang: "I feel perfectly fine everywhere, you two go back to your room to rest, it's getting late."

It was only 6:30 in the evening.

The more he refused to say, the more the two felt that something was seriously wrong.

So they called a doctor to come over and check on their father.

When the doctor arrived, Sheng Jiang had no reason to refuse; it would be unreasonable not to open the door anymore, so he walked out of the room and closed the door behind him, not letting the doctor enter the bedroom.

And he was full of displeasure: "I'm not sick, my body is very healthy, you are just worrying blindly."

After a round of examinations, it turned out there was really nothing wrong, and he was very healthy.

In fact, at Sheng Jiang's age, there would be more or less some minor ailments; someone as healthy as him was rarely seen.

"Look, didn't I say I didn't have any problems? You guys just wouldn't believe me." He was even a bit smug.

Sheng Hanyu asked: "Since you have no problems, why did you buy a whole box of medicine?"

Sheng Jiang:...

He blurted out: "How did you know?"

After asking, he realized he had said the wrong thing; how else could they have known?

His grandson must have sold him out.

The staff at the health supplement store told Sheng Jiang not to tell his family when he bought the medicine, and to take it secretly himself.

To get his body into tip-top shape, and then give it to his family to take, and he followed those instructions honestly.

"Don't you worry about it, you don't need to worry about my affairs."

"How can I not worry? I am your son, if I don't worry about you, who will?"

Sheng Hanyu glared.

"It's a good thing anyway, I'm responsible for my own body. Aren't you also planning to do health supplements? I'll test the effects first, okay?"

Sheng Hanyu was speechless.

He asked if what he bought was medicine or health supplements.

Yet he would say it was medicine one moment, and health supplements the next.

They were completely different types, but he mixed them together; he didn't even understand the type but wanted to take them, and a whole big box at that.

The more he wouldn't say, the more Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan wanted to know. Later, when he really couldn't stall any longer, Sheng Jiang told the truth: "Isn't Hanyu preparing to enter the health supplement market? I'm going to the front line first to see the market situation."

Sheng Hanyu:...

But when asked about the market situation, what he talked about had nothing to do with health supplements; he didn't talk about the products, only the atmosphere!

The couple was worried and demanded to see what kind of health supplements they were.

At first he was reluctant, but later he couldn't resist and had to let his family inspect them.

After rummaging through the packaging boxes and medicine boxes, they discovered they were "three-no" products.

No production address, no production batch number, no manufacturer name; there was a production date, however, and it was very fresh—produced that very day!

"Dad, where did you buy these?" Shi Youxuan finally understood why he wasn't allowed to tell anyone.

Whether these are "medicine" or "health supplements," you definitely can't tell your family; if you did, they would definitely return them!

"At the store."

Shi Youxuan:...

He explained: "Middle-aged and Elderly Health Service Center."

To increase credibility, Sheng Jiang even betrayed Lady Jian: "The place Lady Jian took me to, she bought over two hundred thousand worth of products, enough to fill a whole room."

Sheng Jiang argued righteously: "Her family runs a hospital, and she still bought so much, which proves this medicine... this health supplement must be very effective. You can rest assured, it can't be wrong."

Shi Youxuan:...

It didn't matter how much money was spent, the problem was that this kind of thing couldn't be eaten; what if something went wrong after eating it?

She dialed Jian Yixin's phone number.

Jian Family.

Jian Yixin's family of three and Jian Yining's family of five were all there.

Coming together like this when it wasn't a holiday or festival, and without prior notice, although Lady Jian was very happy and asked the servants to make more delicious food, she was also feeling uneasy; she could tell from their expressions that her children had come with ill intent.

Jian Yixin got straight to the point: "Mom, what kind of health supplements did you buy? Let us see and broaden our horizons."

Lady Jian covered up: "What health supplements? I didn't buy anything."

She didn't betray Sheng Jiang, but instead made up a random excuse: "Someone saw several people carrying many things into our house; if you didn't buy them, did they just give them away for free?"

Mother:...

Seeing that she couldn't hide it, she told the truth.

"They are all products for strengthening the body; they are good for your health, and if you have minor illnesses or pains, you'll be fine after taking them."

The sister and brother exchanged a look, and Jian Yixin said: "Mom, since they are so effective, I'll go buy some too; my neck has been hurting all over."

Lady Jian thought her children would blame her, but they didn't, so she breathed a sigh of relief and stood up happily: "You don't need to buy any, I'll go get you two boxes; I was just worrying that I had too many to finish."

"I'll go with you."

Jian Yixin also stood up and gave her brother a look, so they both followed.

They were stored quite secretly, hidden in the basement.

If their mother hadn't brought them here, the two of them really wouldn't have found them easily.

Pushing open the door, despite being mentally prepared, the sister and brother still gasped!

So much medicine.

Packed in boxes, stacked neatly in such large quantities, it was almost like the inventory of a pharmacy.

Jian Yining couldn't hide his anger: "Are you trying to ascend to immortality by taking all this medicine?" His sister nudged him, annoyed that he was speaking so harshly.

Mother: "I was just worrying about how to finish them; it's perfect that you can take some back—cure illnesses if you have them, and strengthen your body if you don't."

The sister and brother called the servants in to throw all of this away and firmly forbade their mother from taking another pill; only then did Lady Jian realize she had been tricked.

She felt very aggrieved, with a reaction similar to Sheng Jiang's.

She felt that her children didn't understand her and that they looked at everyone as if they were bad people.
