Chapter 948: The More You Get, the More You Want

Elder Qin slowly stood up, looking around, "Indeed, the greed of man is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant."

"Doctor Gu brought out the medical texts, and now you want her secret formula."

"You have been practicing for many years and have discovered one or two effective remedies yourselves. If I ask you to bring them out now, would you be willing?"

"I will say this today, if any of you are willing to bring out a formula, this old man will bring out one to accompany you. Who will bring it?"

The hall suddenly fell silent, with an unusual quietness.

"You’re not willing! Then why should Doctor Gu’s secret formula be given to you? Do you wish to be robbers?"

Elder Qin flicked his sleeve and turned to look at Yun Jiao, "Doctor Gu, I don’t think there is any need to print these medical books. Keep them for yourself and pass them on to your descendants."

Yun Jiao hadn’t expressed her opinion yet, and some people below were already panicking.

Someone shouted loudly, "We never thought that way! We are very grateful that Doctor Gu could bring out the medical texts."

"We didn’t say we want Doctor Gu’s secret formula!"

"Elder Qin, you can’t paint everyone with the same brush!"

Someone pointed at Yang Yuan and said, "It’s him; he has always been after Doctor Gu’s secret formula and is still not giving up!"

Yang Yuan’s face turned extremely ugly; he didn’t understand why the fire hadn’t caught Yun Jiao but had instead burned him.

Elder Qin’s face darkened, "This matter is on me!"

"It was my moment of softness that agreed to let him join the association again; my intention was not to wipe out him and his father completely, to leave them a way out, but I didn’t expect the lad to be unrepentant!"

Yun Jiao suddenly chuckled lightly, "I just said I wanted to be a titular president; no one has any objections, right?"

The people below responded favorably, "No objections."

Yun Jiao smiled, "Then I, as the titular president, will exercise some authority today."

Her gaze was like lightning as she looked at Yang Yuan, "Someone so morally corrupt is unworthy of joining the Medical Association."

"I declare, Yang Yuan is no longer a member of the Medical Association."

"All medicinal wholesalers, from today on, do not sell a single penny’s worth of medicinal material to him!"

As soon as Yun Jiao finished speaking, someone agreed, "Fine, if we won’t sell, then we won’t sell; we aren’t losing much from it!" Yang Yuan’s shop was small, and doesn’t do much business in a year.

Then several people responded, "President Gu, we’re listening to you; we certainly won’t sell to him!"

Yang Yuan’s face turned pale.

Today, he initially intended to use provocation methods to get Yun Jiao to reveal her secret formula.

Even if Yun Jiao didn’t reveal it, he thought it would make her embarrassed. Yun Jiao had publicly humiliated him and his father back then, and he had long hated her to the bone.

But now, as Yun Jiao is the National Lady, he can do nothing but harbor resentment in his heart; he could only say a few sour words. Unexpectedly, not even that was allowed, and instead, he ended up completely burying his family’s business.

If he can’t get the goods, how is he going to run a pharmacy in the future!

Yu Jiajie extended his hand in a gesture of invitation, "Young Master Yang, please leave, you are not welcome here."

Yang Yuan turned red, and slunk out of the hall dejectedly.

Yun Jiao smiled at Yu Jiajie before she sat down.

The president was elected, and the commotion was witnessed.

People moved around, mingling to connect and gather information.

Some rushed towards those books in haste.

Yu Jiajie had already put the books away, and when someone wanted to look at them, he shook his head, "Don’t damage them. Wait for one or two months until the printed books come out, then you can take a look."

"I skimmed through them; they are good books. If you want a copy, register yourself, so I can estimate a rough number."
